Text: 103 Famous Ancient Repairs

"Hahahaha. Luo Yifan knew Rong Xian very well, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that this little guy had also quoted Xu Wen for this chair. He asked with great interest, "How much did you report?"

"I said I bought the ...... directly for two million," Rong Xian said a little humbly.

"Hahahaha! If you can really win it, then you will take advantage of it!" Luo Yifan said with a smile.

"The Ming chair is almost the price I said, these chairs are still fir wood, and they must be a little lower than the price of Huanghuali. Rong Xian didn't understand.

"Well, your judgment is roughly correct, the chair has a base price, the suit is a plus, and the fir is a minus. Luo Yifan said wittily and easily understood, and then he stretched out two fingers and said, "But there are two more plus points in this chair, you don't see it." ”

"What is it?"

"First, the maker of this set of chairs. ”

"It's a masterpiece?!"

Rong Xian understood when he heard this. The craftsmen are unknown, the furniture is not the same as calligraphy and painting, and it is difficult for most of the makers to leave their names in history.

But as with all other works of art, once it is confirmed to be a masterpiece, the price of this furniture will immediately increase by a large margin!

"Look here. Luo Yifan pulled Rong Xian to the back of the chair, and Xu Wen followed.

What the class world lacks the most is the broken generation, and his ability in this regard is far behind.

"Is there a small auspicious cloud pattern here at the foot of the chair?" Luo Yifan picked up the chair and showed it to Rong Xian.

"Yes, there's a little relief. It's so small, don't you say I haven't noticed it! Is this the memory of a master?" Rong Xian was specially trained after all, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, this is the unique memory of Master Huang Yunxiang, and every piece of furniture he makes has it on it. He left his name on the furniture he made, usually in inconspicuous areas. However, if you find this kind of inscription, you can basically confirm its origin. Luo Yifan said.

"But I see that when you identified it just now, you didn't deliberately look for Mingming?" Rong Xian asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha, such a small inscription, you want me to rummage through the chair to find it, the old man's eyes are not good! Luo Yifan gestured, "The early judgment depends on the style and technique of the work itself. ”

He lowered his head, caressed the official hat chair lovingly, and said softly, "Master Huang Yunxiang is known for his wind and bones, and his works are simple in shape, straight and curved, but they are mainly straight, just like a strong bamboo in the wind, and they will not fall in the wind. This kind of style was very popular with readers at that time, and Huang Yunxiang's name was handed down. ”

Although Rong Xian is very smart, he is too young after all, and he doesn't understand what Luo Yifan is saying. Xu Wen listened to it on the side, but he looked thoughtful. He took a step back and looked at the four chairs with fresh eyes.

He had vaguely felt that the masterpieces of famous artists had their own momentum, which was not the same as the works of ordinary craftsmen, but they were far from being as clear as Luo Yifan said.

Luo Yifan said with a rise and continued: "I have always felt that first-class works look at aesthetics, and super-first-class works look at character. ”

"What does this mean?" Rong Xian asked very loudly.

"That's just my personal opinion, old man. You see, most of the cultural relics that have been handed down today are beautiful, which means that the craftsmen who made it at that time had their own feelings and views on beauty, and expressed it. But aesthetics will change, the aesthetics of the past are different from the present, and the beauty that different people, different cultural levels, and different living environments can receive is also different. ”

Luo Yifan took a deep breath, and his gaze was full of emotion as he stared at the cedar official hat chair, "There is a kind of beauty, but it goes beyond this." Just like the furniture made by Huang Yunxiang, the beauty it embodies is the embodiment of his character, or his 'heart'. This kind of beauty, both then and now, resonates even more, and this is where its value lies!"

Luo Yifan said more and more impassionedly, and Rong Xian seemed to understand.

"In other words, Master Huang can make such a stylish work because he is such a stylish person?" asked Xu Wen.

"Yes!" Luo Yifan said in a positive tone, looking at Xu Wen with great appreciation.

Xu Wen nodded, a little curious.

One of the main reasons he chose this chair was because it was easy to repair, and he didn't expect to run into a masterpiece.

Was he lucky, or was the things in Xu's house actually more exaggerated than he imagined?

"However, there is another important reason why this chair has this price, in addition to the fact that it is the work of Master Huang. ”

Luo Yifan looked at Xu and asked, "This set of chairs is actually not as well preserved as what we see now, and it can be in such good condition because it has undergone a fairly high level of restoration." The restoration was recently completed and is done in a rather old way, with no signs of the use of modern tools. This is a very good inheritance - Xiao Xu, you must tell me who cultivated it!"

Luo Yifan's expression was eager, staring at Xu Wen tightly, and he couldn't wait to know the answer.

The expression was very similar to the last time he saw the Five Fowl Opera, no, more urgent than that!

When Xu Wen took out the chair, he guessed that someone would ask this.

After all, it is very easy to see whether a chair has been repaired or not, and how long it has been repaired.

At that time, he had no intention of hiding his newly acquired skills.

Therefore, in the face of Luo Yifan's question, he directly gave the answer: "I repaired it." ”

"Oh?" Luo Yifan's eyes widened, but in fact, he could see that he was not as surprised as last time.

It was Rong Xian, looking left and right, with an excited face.

"It was also taught by the teacher who taught me the Five Fowl Opera, and he only taught the repair skills, and he didn't do anything else. This set of restoration inheritance follow-up gate construction team seems to be a system, which may belong to two different branches, and the specific situation needs to be observed again. ”

"No wonder!" Rong Xian combined with the previous events, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you would rather resign than help Lao Lu and them, it turns out to be a family!"

"No, I didn't know ...... at that time" Xu Wen was really difficult to explain, he only said one sentence and didn't continue.

Luo Yifan didn't doubt it, especially when Xu Wen said that he didn't know how to break the generation.

If he understood, he wouldn't have agreed to sell these four chairs to Rong Xian for two million.

He looked at Xu Wen with sparkling eyes, thinking something in his heart. After a while, he suddenly said, "Why don't we make a deal?"

Xu Wen didn't know what he meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I'll teach you to date the cultural relics, and you cooperate with me to put you hereβ€”" His hand pointed to the four chairs, "How about the restoration and inheritance registration?"

"It's not good to fight five birds, this should be okay, right?"

Xu Wen thought for a moment, and the expression on Lian Tianqing's mind when he told them the story of dovetails came to mind.

"Good. He nodded.
