Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 2 Zhao Xin's Adventures

Zhao Xin is not an islander, he is just an ordinary Chinese who likes to travel to island countries.

Because of a little bit of language talent and watching Japanese dramas for many years... ahem, it's not that kind of Japanese dramas...

Zhao Xin has studied foreign languages ​​by himself for a period of time.After several trips to the island country, his Japanese level is actually quite good, and traveling alone is no problem at all.

It all started more than half a year ago when I met Liji and his wife.

Zhao Xin came to the island country alone to travel again.The main purpose of this visit is to visit the Todai Temple. He wants to come to the island country to see the regulations of Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty.Yes, Zhao Xin is very interested in Buddhism.

It is said that the entrance of the temple before the Song Dynasty did not have the Four Great Kings and the Temple of Heavenly Kings, that is, the Yaksha Rishi; this kind of regulation can no longer be seen in China.

In addition to visiting temples, Zhao Xin also wandered in the streets.He entered a thrift store, and after looking at it for a while, he saw a yellowish oval jade pendant on the counter.The style of the jade pendant is very beautiful. A small dragon is carved around the oval.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was destined to him, so he chatted with the boss when he had nothing to say.Coincidentally, the owner of this shop is also a talkative person. It is estimated that no one has chatted with him recently, but he has also chatted with Zhao Xin very enthusiastically.

Zhao Xin said that he had worked in Tokyo for many years, and this time he came to visit the temple.After talking nonsense with the boss in this way, I casually asked the price of the jade pendant.

The owner of the store can't tell the origin of this thing, but he just said that he received it from others, not Hetian jade.Judging from the style of jade pendants, it is definitely not from an island country, but from China. As for the age, it is really hard to say.

Zhao Xin thought about MMP, thinking that it might be stolen from China during the invasion of China.This kind of thinking made him want to win this lower jade pendant even more.

When he put the jade pendant on the counter and watched it carefully, he found a word engraved on the back of the jade pendant.

Zhao Xin carefully identified it, and could only see that the left side of the word was a three dashes, and the right side was blurry, so I couldn't tell what the word was.

After some haggling, the deal was finally settled at a price of 50 yen, or more than 3 RMB.

After Zhao Xin returned to the hotel in Kyoto that night, he lay on the bed and watched the jade pendant carefully; in his hand, there was a feeling of blood connection, which made him feel very strange, so he was reluctant to put it down for a long time.As a result, unknowingly, holding the jade pendant fell asleep.

So he completed the first time crossing in his sleep.Fortunately, he fell asleep because he was lazy and forgot to take off his clothes. It would be embarrassing to wear only the bottom of his pants.

Zhao Xin fell asleep and felt so cold.He tried to grab the quilt, but he couldn't find the quilt when he was confused, and he finally woke up from the cold.

It was dark all around, and he habitually went to get the mobile phone by the bedside, but felt empty.Only then did he find himself lying on the wooden floor.

"Where is this?" He rubbed his eyes, trying to figure out where he was, but it was pitch black all around.

After some groping, he felt that he had touched a door, and he pushed it lightly at first, but he didn't push it.Zhao Xin got up in a fit of anger, and was anxious, he raised his foot without thinking and kicked towards the door.

"Bangdang!!!" With a loud sound, the door opened.Zhao Xin hurriedly got out, only then did he realize that he was under a porch.

The sound of kicking the door alarmed the sleeping master in the mansion.A faint light began to appear in a room not far away, and someone should have lit a candle.Zhao Xin, who was in a confused state, saw the light and walked towards the room.Since he hadn't woken up yet, he jumped open the barrier door when he got to the door.

The two men and women in white underwear in the room met his big eyes in such a daze.

The man and woman were sluggish for a while, then suddenly shouted.The man turned and jumped to the side of the case, and reached out to grab the long knife placed on the case.

Fortunately, it was shouting, otherwise Zhao Xin would not be able to wake up.

So Zhao Xin closed the barrier door again, then turned around and ran away.

Before the yard started to boil, Zhao Xin hurriedly returned to the yard and quickly looked around.

Hey?There's a low wall there!

Zhao Xin took a few steps, slammed up the low wall, and escaped from the house.When he ran out more than ten meters, there was a sound of "catch a thief" behind him.

When his hand was climbing over the wall, a large piece of skin was scratched by the tile on the top of the wall, but because of the nervousness and the intense secretion of adrenal glands, Zhao Xin didn't notice the pain at all.

What he didn't notice was that the blood from his palm was absorbed by the jade pendant he was holding, and the wound healed quickly.

It was still early, and there were not many people on the street.When Zhao Xin ran across a street, he saw a tall building (notice board).Eager to find out what was going on, he hurried to Gao Xuan to take a look, only to see the end of the notice above, it actually said Tianming three years in February! ! !

"What kind of year is this? Tianming, Tianming" While nervous, Zhao Xin suddenly found that he was still holding the jade pendant he had just bought.

"Could it be it..." He muttered to himself, his fingers rubbed the jade pendant a few times, and then his eyes flashed, and he found himself standing on the crosswalk of the main road.

"Woo~!" A taxi honked its horn and rushed over.Zhao Xin quickly stepped back to the side of the road.

Inside the speeding taxi, the driver turned his head to stare at Zhao Xin and cursed.

At this time, it was just a little light, and Zhao Xin, who was barefoot, looked around and found that it was only two blocks away from the hotel where he lived, so he hurried to the hotel.

Confused back to the guest room, he found that he hadn't brought the room card, so Zhao Xin went downstairs to the front desk to get the room card.After everything was quiet, Zhao Xin sat on the bed in the guest room and began to think about everything that happened not long ago.

"I went there~~ So that's the case." After a while, Zhao Xin burst into laughter until it was bright outside and the streets were crowded with people.

After trying to understand what was going on, he checked the Internet first, and only then did he know that the third year of Tianming was 1783, the island country was the Tokugawa shogunate period, and the domestic country was the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Then he tried hard to recall the dark room he was in at the beginning, as if it was a warehouse?There seems to be a lot of boxes on the wall of that house?

So, the chicken thief Zhao Xin prepared carefully. He first went to the street to buy a pair of dark blue pants and a dark blue hoodie, and then bought a dark blue cotton scarf.Then, when he passed by a small shop selling kitchen utensils, he went in and bought two sharp Japanese kitchen knives.Finally, he bought a small LED flashlight.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Zhao Xin put on the newly bought clothes and trousers, then gestured to the position of his eyes and poked two holes in the scarf.He wrapped the scarf on his face first, then took out the LED flashlight to test the brightness; finally, he took a newly bought kitchen knife...

After still rubbing the jade pendant a few times, Zhao Xin's eyes flashed, and he found himself back in the dark warehouse.

Zhao Xin stood still and didn't dare to move. First, he quietly listened to the noise outside.There was someone talking outside the door. After a while, the speaker gradually moved away, and then he carefully turned on the flashlight.

This warehouse is not very big, Zhao Xin checked it visually, it looks like about [-] square meters.On the two sides against the wall, there were dozens of small boxes stacked on top of each other.Under the other wall, there are several large boxes.

He walked gently to the small boxes, took a look with a flashlight, and found that none of the boxes were locked, so he opened one of them.

As soon as the box was opened, Zhao Xin's mouth couldn't help but lightly "his".

Under the light of the flashlight, a dazzling golden light radiated from the box, and a box full of small gold...

He opened several other small boxes and found that it was still a small sentence.

"Whose home is this? It's so rich!" Zhao Xin muttered in his heart.

He walked to the other side again and gently opened a few large boxes.There are all kinds of porcelain inside, all kinds of porcelain, and the porcelain is filled with straw very tightly to prevent bumps.

Zhao Xin took a closer look with a flashlight and found that these porcelains were very similar to Jun porcelain.And several of the large ones he had seen at the home of a rich second-generation friend in China.

"My God, could it be... is it that family?! No! That family can't have these things right now."

Zhao Xin's second-generation rich friend, whose father bought a batch of Song Dynasty Jun porcelain from an aristocratic family in the island country in his early years, became a big invisible rich man in China many years later.It is said that many large pieces of Jun porcelain from the Song Dynasty in his hands are not even in the Forbidden City. Therefore, every time museums around the country want to hold an exhibition of Jun porcelain, they must temporarily borrow large pieces of Jun porcelain from his home.Once a certain industrial tycoon spent 15 billion to buy three small pieces of Song Dynasty Jun porcelain from the second generation of the rich.

How to do?Zhao Xin thought of 1894, 1904, 1931, 1937 a hundred years later...

Well, to sum up, he thinks what he is doing at the moment must be absolutely righteous.

So Zhao Xin tried to move a small box.

"I'm going! It's so heavy!" One was not paying attention, and he almost flashed his waist.

How to do?Zhao Xin put one hand on the edge of his trouser pocket, and the jade pendant was in the trouser pocket.He is ready to run away anytime there is an abnormality.

"There should be a storage space, right? It seems like it's written in the novels. Try it?" He thought of this, then took out the jade pendant, touched the box with one hand, and began to chant the "spell" softly.

"Go in. Go in." No response.

"Put it in. Put it in." Still no response.

"Let's go~" This will definitely not respond.

"what is it?"

Zhao Xin is in trouble, it seems that there is no room for it.In this way, the gold can only be slowly taken away in the pocket.

So, Zhao Xin opened a small box, took out the small money in it and put it in his jacket pocket and trouser pocket until it was full.Immediately he rubbed the jade pendant and disappeared.

That is to say, the gold coins of the shogunate in this era were not pure gold, otherwise the trouser pockets could be broken with so many gold coins.

After working back and forth like this for more than half an hour, he didn't take much in total, and he was exhausted.

"I'm exhausted..."

In the darkness, Zhao Xin sat paralyzed on the ground, holding the box with one hand, panting lightly.

Inadvertently, he tapped the small box with the jade pendant in his hand.

The box is gone!Zhao Xin held the air with one hand and flashed.

"I'm going! What does this mean?" Zhao Xin was stunned, "So there's no need for a spell."

He tried to tap the jade pendant gently on the ground, and the box really appeared!

Okay, Zhao Xin was satisfied now, he took the jade pendant and started knocking the boxes one by one in the warehouse until they were all taken away.

When he returned to the hotel room again, it was already bright outside the window.

Tired Zhao Xin closed the curtains, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

After waking up in the afternoon, Zhao Xin cleaned himself up first, went downstairs to the 711 next to the hotel, and bought some fast food to fill his stomach.After he returned to the guest room, he sat at the table, opened the laptop he was carrying, and searched online.

After several hours of careful inquiries and comparisons, Zhao Xin determined that the large boxes of porcelain were Jun porcelain, but they were not the same batch as his rich second-generation friend.

Think about it, the Song Dynasty was the peak of Chinese classical culture, and many islanders were fanatical Song fans.In ancient times, the exchanges between the two sides were very frequent, and there should be some Jun porcelain that came from the Southern Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.But there are too many in this family's warehouse!You can open a museum and get tickets.

It is said that the island country has basically stabilized since the Battle of Guanyuan. Except for the "Amakusa Uprising", there has been no major nationwide turmoil, and many antiques can be handed down intact.This is not like China. After a series of wars and movements such as the end of the Song Dynasty, the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, etc., there are not many famous porcelains in the Song Dynasty.

In an auction held by Poly in the spring of 2019, it was just a Jun porcelain flowerpot from the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, 20 cm high and 28 cm in diameter, and the transaction price reached 944 million Hong Kong dollars.If this was from the Northern Song Dynasty, how much would it cost?
No price!

There is no way, the good things in the Song Dynasty have become less and less, and the prices of imitations in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are also very expensive.

As for the more than ten boxes of small judgment gold, Zhao Xin found that it was the "Yuanwen small judgment gold" that was cast in the first year of Yuanwen.The current market valuation is about 13-65 yen per piece, but the specific transaction price will vary greatly, and the best quality can even be sold for 10 yen.

Zhao Xin felt that he must have a comprehensive plan to safely dispose of the large and small boxes and their contents.

After a night of thinking, I have a preliminary plan.Zhao Xin changed his clothes, took out 20 small gold coins and put them in his bag, and went downstairs from the hotel's emergency passage and exited the hotel.According to the navigation of the mobile phone map, he began to search for antique shops one by one on the street.

Three days have passed.

For Zhao Xin, all his operations in the past three days were racing against time.

On the first day, Zhao Xin finally chose one after turning around eight or nine antique stores and decided to chat with the boss.Although the fineness and appearance of these small golds are excellent, they are completely top-grade, but Zhao Xin can't produce the supporting documents.After some haggling, 20 gold small judgments were sold at a unit price of 12 yen.After the transaction was completed, the shop owner seemed to see that Zhao Xin had more than 20 small judgments in his hand, and immediately said that if there were any of the same quality, they could be sold to him at a favorable price.

Zhao Xin didn't dare to continue trading here. If the owner of the store had bad thoughts or called the police, he would be in big trouble.

The 240 million yen obtained from this transaction is far from Zhao Xin's goal.When he saw that it was still too late, he rushed back to the hotel and got 30 small fines again. Among the several antique stores he had turned to before, he chose another one and set the 10 small fines at a total price of 115 million yen. sell.

Within two days, he traveled all over the antique shops in Kyoto city, and finally sold 20 pieces of small gold in more than 340 antique shops, with a total transaction amount of 5100 million and an average price of 15 pieces.

Such frequent operations have led to crazy rumors among the Kyoto antique circles. A young man sold hundreds of Yuanwen small gold coins in the past two days.The news quickly spread on the Internet, and for a time, antique dealers and collectors in Osaka and even Tokyo were preparing to leave for Kyoto.
