Chapter 323: Appreciating the Elegance of the Previous Dynasty
Everyone was already stunned at this time, but they didn't expect that in this inconspicuous boxwood carving, two top diamonds, one black and one white, actually fell out.
The black diamonds are square, simple and heavy, and the most striking thing is the white diamond, which is round, dazzling in fire, and too large.
Not to mention the crowd, even the staff sent by Yan Jingsheng were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this wood carving still hid treasures.
The old man picked up two diamonds and said calmly: "This statue is the legendary ancestor of the earth immortal, Zhen Yuanzi, this immortal is the best at the skill of the sleeve."
Qiankun represents the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the sky is round and the place is round, so this round white diamond is the sky, and the square black diamond is the earth.
Everyone didn't know what to say when they came out of the street at this time, and some people jumped their feet even more regretfully, just now someone obviously liked wood carving, but was shocked away by the price of 100,000 yuan, but I didn't expect to have a good sleeve!
The value of such a large diamond is immeasurable, and it is not simply calculated according to the carats of the market.
This antique shop, the pain of the eye, but the pain of missing the real treasure is even more painful, the feeling is indescribable, as if the lottery ticket bought won the lottery, and the lottery ticket was lost.
"Mr. Zhang, are you the deputy director of the Jiangnan Museum, Mr. Zhang Chen?" At this time, someone in the crowd recognized the old man, and when he saw the old man nodding slightly, everyone was immediately in awe, and their hearts were also a little more comfortable.
Not everyone is qualified for this leakage, since there is luck, there is also vision, and the most important thing is the cultural heritage behind him. So, this real treasure was picked up by the curator of the museum, and there was nothing unbalanced about the people, after all, they were top experts who studied antiques all their lives.
However, it doesn't matter if it was picked up by an old expert, on the other side, a young man actually made a major discovery.
The young man is naturally not a big connoisseur, but a layman, a second-generation Xiao Kai of an auction house in this city, who came here completely to curry favor with Yan Jingsheng and Saibao to recruit relatives.
So in order to be able to advance to the real Saibao Club, I just paid a lot of money to buy a work by Yan Jingsheng, which is a retro music box, and there is a villain dancing ballet, to be honest, it is very ordinary, and there are no more than ten yuan in those toy stores.
The young man was here to curry favor with bribes in disguise, and this kind of elegant bribery was naturally to buy the most garbage goods with the most money, so he spent 80,000 yuan to buy this thing that was not worth 20 yuan.
Therefore, after the money and goods were gone, he didn't care, he hid aside and fiddled with it at will, the normal spring was clockwise, but this goods was absentmindedly twisted backwards and became counterclockwise.
After letting go, the music sounded, which not only startled him, but also surprised the people around him.
The music box turned out to be not a common jingle music, but a Sanskrit sound, which sounded like a great compassion mantra.
What's even more amazing is that the little man dancing the ballet actually descended with the music, and a small and exquisite jade Guanyin actually rose.
The exquisite jade Guanyin is carved from jasper, verdant and dripping, lifelike, holding a jade bottle in one hand, holding a willow branch in the other, accompanied by Sanskrit sound slowly turning, a pair of looking around the eight directions, Hengshun sentient beings, Pudu sentient beings of compassion.
This exquisite design is really breathtaking, even more shocking than the sleeve just now, not because of how valuable the treasure is, but because the craftsmanship of this craftsman is wonderful.
"Master Yan's work is really extraordinary. The crowd exclaimed in unison.
Old man Lin was red with excitement, and his whole body trembled: "Look, look, this is the fun of Taobao, it depends not only on eyesight, but also on luck, just like scratching a lottery, maybe you can copy it." ”
Liu Jianfeng snorted, full of disdain.
Whether it is scratching the lottery or this Taobao method, it is all artificially manipulated, whether the probability is understood or not, and the probability is not understood, not to mention, antique treasures are this kind of thing, nine and a half out of ten are fake, and the big connoisseurs are eye-catching, and the layman is purely giving away people's heads.
If you really want to try your luck, go to the antique market, or go to the stalls, people who are really lucky can buy a urinal, maybe it was used by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
This kind of luck is still possible in forty years, but now, on the contrary, it is very likely that the antique you bought back is actually a urinal.
But in front of them, these two winners, one is really a big connoisseur, and the other is shit luck, which represents the two major characteristics of the antique shop.
Old man Lin said excitedly: "Assistant Liu, you can try it too, buy something and put it in Zirou's office as a ward off evil spirits, and the mascot of fortune is good." ”
"Okay. Liu Jianfeng nodded: "I'll take a look too." ”
Old man Lin immediately excitedly pulled him around to sweep the goods, his own pocket money was limited, only a hundred thousand, but Liu Jianfeng was authorized by Lin Zirou, just to verify his eyesight and luck. Love me
The old man chattered in Liu Jianfeng's ear: "Look at this ink painting, the ink is elegant, the layout is dense, it should be imitated by Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", but the scenery is more distinct, and it is obviously also a famous master's handwriting......
Yes, this is not very suitable for hanging in Zirou's office, or take a look at this song blue and white porcelain vase, according to my observation, this is likely to be the porcelain of the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, you look at the celadon, is there a kind of mountain blue and other smoke and rain, the smoke rises thousands of miles across the river, and the elegant feeling of the previous dynasty?"
The old man almost didn't sing as he spoke, and Liu Jianfeng was full of black lines, even if he didn't know much about antiques, he also knew that this azure glazed Ru kiln was dedicated to Song Huizong and the royal family, and now each of them is a national treasure.
This old man is purely wronged, and what the antique dealer is most afraid of is that he doesn't know how to pretend to know half a bucket of water, so he must not listen to him.
Of course, Liu Jianfeng himself doesn't know anything about antiques, but he is better at going south and north, and he is well-informed, which is not only better than Old Man Lin, but even better than many experts.
Because a lot of the knowledge of experts comes from books and other documents, and Liu Jianfeng has seen a lot of treasures with his own eyes, and even a lot of tomb goods.
So when he heard someone next to him talk about something like 'Immortal Weapon', he was full of disdain, and some people thought that the Immortal Artifact was a treasure in the tomb, but in fact it was not at all.
The ancients paid attention to the fact that the dead were big, the dead were respected, and the dead were like life, so after the death of the princes and nobles, they usually buried the beloved things with him and let him take them away, that is to say, the things used by the deceased during his lifetime are called funeral goods.
And what the dead like when they were alive is that this thing is gone, or they can't be taken away, so they are specially imitated and specially created for the dead, and this is called the dead weapon.
Moreover, often many times, everyone knows that it is used for the dead, so there are often dark objects that are shoddy, like going to the grave to burn newspapers and fool ghosts.
Liu Jianfeng had a mission before, which was to protect the imperial tomb.
It is not a famous emperor in history, just a grass-headed king in troubled times, but the more self-established as a king, the more treasures often have in their hands, because most of these people started by burning and looting, and enjoyed crazy enjoyment during their lifetime, and reaped benefits for themselves, regardless of the flood after death.
Therefore, there are many rare treasures in this mausoleum, and our dynasty has a rule that the emperor's mausoleum is not allowed to be opened, even if it is the same as the Caotou King, which can only be protected and not excavated.
But there is news that this mausoleum is targeted by a group of tomb robbers, and there may even be foreign forces involved, Liu Jianfeng is ordered to guard the imperial tomb and catch the thieves.
It's a pity that they were still a step late when they received the news, and when they arrived, the thieves had already drilled into the thief hole, Liu Jianfeng didn't dare to slack off, and also turned in, for fear that the thieves would violently destroy the mausoleum.
The tomb was originally the home of the dead, and he easily subdued several tomb robbers, waited for the archaeologists to come, and walked around the tomb.
After the real imperial tomb was developed into a scenic spot, he also went to see it, but the mausoleums of those orthodox emperors are not as luxurious as the mausoleums of the grass head king, not to mention all kinds of treasures and rituals, this tomb even has a living person to be buried, this is really a world of people king landlord, I am free.
It's just that Liu Jianfeng was still a step late at that time, and the coffin of the Caotou King had been opened, revealing the coffin carved into the shape of the palace.
And his coffin carved into the shape of a palace made Liu Jianfeng very curious at that time, he deliberately observed it carefully, and later when the archaeologists came in for protective excavations, they also specially told him.
And at this moment, in this exhibition, Liu Jianfeng found something similar, a wooden box in the corner!
The wooden box was placed in the corner, very inconspicuous, gray, as if it was going to rot, it should be used by the staff to carry these treasures.
Liu Jianfeng walked over and took a closer look, and then asked the staff: "Is it possible to choose all the objects in the venue today?"
The staff immediately nodded and said, "This is natural, all items are available for purchase." ”
"Okay, then I'll want this box!" Liu Jianfeng suddenly pointed to the box in the corner, which surprised everyone.
No one cared about this rotten wooden box, and it wasn't a treasure on display at all, just a tool used to carry it, and it was deliberately thrown in the corner just because it was in the way.
Wandering in this dazzling array of treasures, even the beauties on the scene have no time to care, not to mention this rotten wooden box, and now someone wants to buy it.
People were originally dismissive, thinking that someone was grandstanding, but Old Man Lin was also dizzy with anger, and he didn't want to spend money, so he said it clearly, don't be embarrassed.
But what was surprising next was that the staff member panicked and said, "Sir, you, are you sure you want to buy this wooden box?"
"Yes. Liu Jianfeng nodded firmly.
The staff gritted their teeth and said, "Well, the wooden box is worth one million!"
