696 Selling Beads?
After entering, it felt even more shocking.
Not because it's magnificent, but because it's terrifying.
"Why is this happening!" Rong Xian called out directly.
The houses were crumbling, vines and weeds were overgrown, and everywhere was a scene of decay.
During this time, Xu Wen started to clean up the garbage here when he had time, and the wires, drying racks, and plastic bags that were messily pulled before were gone, but the traces of scorched bricks and broken tiles were still there, and it still looked very miserable, living in ruins.
Before the others came in, they didn't expect it to be like this at all, but now they look around in a daze.
"This kind of house is too big to build, right?" Rong Xian was shocked.
"Definitely. Xu Wen admitted.
"The brick carving at the front door has a limited degree of damage, and the missing part can be deduced from the existing part. There is almost only the foundation left here, how can we rebuild it?" Lu Yuan had been quiet, and then suddenly asked.
"The foundation can deduce the pattern, and the front and rear foyers and backyards can deduce the style, which is very difficult, but not impossible. Xu asked.
"The project is huge, and the manpower and material resources required are very huge. Old Man Rong looked around and said.
"Definitely. Xu Qian has been mentally prepared for this.
"It may take you a lifetime and you may not be able to do it all. Old Man Rong said.
"I'm still young, and besides, I'm mentally prepared. Xu Wen smiled slightly.
"Hmm......" Old Man Rong nodded slowly and didn't say anything more.
"Stuff in the back. Xu Wen led them to continue walking inside.
The realm behind it was really a place he had never brought anyone in. Although he had a vague sense of what kind of situation it would be like, he still couldn't rest assured until he actually saw the results.
These thoughts did not show any on his face, and no one else paid attention to him except Mr. Lou, they looked left and right, this dilapidated mansion seemed to have some kind of magic power, attracting all their attention.
The atrium seems to be a dividing point, and the house here has also collapsed, so Xu Wen built a temporary shed based on the original house, which is obviously used as a workshop.
There are a lot of materials and tools inside, and there is also a warped head case, made of sour branches and wood, which has been restored for more than half and is almost completed.
Its dark red color is slightly blackened, deep and dignified, as if absorbing all the light around it, thus containing a kind of brilliance.
The warped head case is the case that the two ends of the desk are raised and equipped with the warped head, the warped head and the desk trowel head are made of wood, the arc is simple and elegant, the baffle on both sides is carved with moire, and the four legs fall straight down, which is a typical Ming-style furniture.
"This long case is beautiful!" As soon as Old Man Rong saw it, his eyes immediately couldn't move, and he hurriedly walked up a few steps to it, stretched out his hand to touch it, but before he could touch it, he took it back.
He could see that the case had also been damaged and was being repaired, varnished, and was being dried.
Xu Wen saw that he was not ready to continue touching, so he stopped and introduced: "This is a Ming-style warping case, and the style is relatively simple. ”
"This kind of head table is usually placed next to the wall or window to put some vases or cosmetics. The shape of Ming-style furniture is usually relatively simple, unlike the ornate and complex style of the Qing Dynasty. Rong Xian has memorized these things since he was a child, and he memorized them well, and then he whispered to the beginner Gao Xiaoshu.
"Simple is indeed simple, but it's not simple!" Old Man Rong stared at this Ming Dynasty sour branch cloud pattern warped head case, shook his head and said, "It's ...... It'......"
He wanted to describe his feelings and explain that it was "not simple", but he couldn't find the right words for a long time, and he was exhausted, "It's really not simple." ”
That's all he can say.
Xu Wen knew exactly what he meant.
The style of Ming-style furniture is very simple, such as this warped head table, which is different from ordinary long tables, that is, the upward flying heads on both sides, the moire below, and the overall structure and shape.
But the simpler things are, the more complex they are, and the cases in front of them are under the condition of extreme simplicity, revealing the difference from other similar furniture!
The difference lies in every inch of curves and straight lines, between the horizontal and vertical and simple vertical and horizontal, it is a kind of beauty, indescribable but real, as long as you pay a little attention, you will see it, and then be attracted.
"Which master's work is it?" asked Old Man Rong.
In his opinion, this must be a master's work, and it is impossible to complete it without enough ingenuity.
"After checking, there is no mark or name, even if it is a master, it should be unknown to the people. Xu Wen did check it carefully.
"It's a pity. Old Man Rong sighed, and it was not strange.
In fact, such craftsmen are in the majority. Ancient craftsmen had a very low status, and were closer to today's workers than artists. Even if it's an eighth-level technician, there's no name left on the product.
But to this extent, they can create such a beauty that can be passed down to the world, what is the difference between them and artists?
"After this case is repaired, can it be sold?" asked Old Man Rong after a while. He didn't expect to see such a favorite object shortly after entering the door.
"There's more to come, why don't you look at it later?" asked Xu Wen.
"Of course. Old Man Rong said without hesitation.
It's true that he's only just been here, but he's already very interested in this house!
They walked through the atrium and continued backwards to the Four Hour Hall.
Xu Wen was a little nervous.
Cautiously passing through the corridors and walls that had collapsed in half and could almost be considered dangerous, they finally saw a complete building through the cracks in the masonry.
Four o'clock has arrived.
At the beginning, Xu Wen entered Xu's house, thinking that he had encountered a ghost, but after seeing Sishitang, he couldn't help but stop when he left, and missed the last opportunity to leave.
Now, when others see the Four Seasons Hall, their performance will not be much better. Everyone stopped at the same time, staring at the Four Seasons Hall, and for a moment, it seemed as if they had stopped breathing.
Xu Wen didn't urge, nor did he bother them, at this time, he was also looking at the hall and pavilion that he was actually very familiar with.
He's actually starting to restore the house.
Pick up the trash, remove some weeds and vines, clear the masonry and debris blocking the road, and make a note of their paths in preparation for future restoration.
At the same time, he began to repair some furniture in the Four Seasons Hall, draw some drawings, take some measurements, and make preliminary preparations for restoration.
But there was only this four-hour hall, and he didn't move anything, not even a single line.
He used to hold a pen and paper to it for a long time, trying to draw it as it was.
Of course, he can take pictures, and he does take a lot of them, but taking pictures and hand-painting are always different things. He found that he couldn't draw the Four Seasons Hall, at least not yet.
After standing outside for a while, Xu Wen led them in.
The furniture in the Four Seasons Hall has been cleaned up a little, and it is a little brighter than before, but it can still be seen that the furniture before was all brought here, and each piece is very worn, but as long as it can be repaired, all of them are peerless.
Old man Rong has nothing to do, and wants to see if there is a similar collection for his old friend, firstly, to meet the wishes of his old friend, and secondly, to take the opportunity to show off.
But before he came, he really didn't expect that there were so many here!
"Your room is worth a lot of money. Old Man Rong looked around and sighed.
"The value is really precious. Xu Wen admitted.
"So, are you planning to sell all the furniture in this house and use it to repair the house, and in the end only the four walls are empty?" Old Man Rong raised his eyes and asked him.
