Chapter 20: Words of the Heart
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has made one?"
Zhou Xin read a few small words on the bottom of the snuffbox with a puzzled face.
"This is a snuff bottle made by the Office of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office?"
They have handled a lot of things from the Qing Dynasty, but they have never seen this one.
"At your level, you dare to be called a master?" Jiang Feng looked unhappy.
It's all so obvious that you can't see it?
"You!"
Ming Guiyang and Zhou Xin were angry, and they were about to have a seizure but were stopped by Liang Zhenhui.
"Please advise Master Jiang!"
Liang Zhenhui has seen Jiang Feng's ability, and he admires his unique vision for distinguishing the relief eight treasure boxes.
Therefore, he believed that Jiang Feng would not be untargeted, and this bottle would have a future.
"Well, this thing is indeed rare, and today I will open your eyes. Jiang Feng shook his head slightly.
"Snuff was introduced to China in the 29th year of Wanli, and then gradually began to become popular, and the peak period was in the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty Office, I don't need to say more, you should always know, it is divided into the Yang Xin Palace and the Internal Affairs Office, the former is for the royal family, and the latter is given to the Qing noble ministers, which can be said to be common to the government and the people.
Since the Daoguang period, the Yangxin Palace began to manufacture snuff bottles, but the style at that time was more unique, with a small spoon attached to the lid of the pot, and it was not until the Kangxi period that the office began to manufacture in large quantities, and the materials were extravagant, so far the snuff bottles really began to become popular. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Feng paused for a moment before continuing: "And this one is one of the two female snuff bottles in the Kangxi period, and all the snuff bottles made by the Internal Affairs Office are based on this pair of snuff bottles as prototypes, and they are improved and innovated. ”
This is of great historical value to snuff bottles.
Jiang Feng had seen an identical one in his previous life, and every time he thought of it, he ran into another one in this life.
"Hiss~"
Several masters couldn't help but inhale, so that the status of this snuff box is as precious as the mother coin of copper coins!
"You said it should be a couple, but what about the other?" Zhou Xin couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Feng shook his head and didn't answer, he naturally knew where it was, but he couldn't say it.
"In terms of monetary value, it may not be high, but in terms of historical value, it can be said to be the mother of snuff bottles!" Jiang Feng sneered and glanced at Wang Lei, who was oozing cold sweat on his forehead.
"Wang Lei, if you are willing to take a little time to clean up the bottom of the snuffbox and see the three words of the Internal Affairs Office, no matter how idiotic you are, you will not come to this point.
So, I said that you don't even have the basic moral literacy of an appraiser, do you blame you?"
Zhou Xin completely cleaned up the snuff box at this time, the whole body was snow-white, and the style was traditional and simple.
Although the workmanship is a little rough, but it is also normal, the first one can not be perfect, just like the mother money in the copper coin, to say that it is excellent, it is not as good as the copper coin made after the maturity of the later skills.
Judging from some of the finesse that this snuff bottle hides from the smudge, there is no doubt that it is indeed official.
"If we don't see the seal at the bottom, maybe it's just as eye-catching, Master Jiang, admire!"
"Are you convinced?" Liang Zhenhui smiled.
Before coming here, he knew that Jiang Feng was here, and his friends heard that Master Jiang was young and not very eye-catching, so they thought it was luck.
This is a slap in the face, right?
"Ahem... It's not like we haven't seen it with our own eyes. Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, fortunately, Jiang Feng didn't know what he said in the treasure store before, otherwise he would have to find a hole to drill.
Ming Guiyang sighed heavily, "Compared to Master Jiang's profundity, we are indeed worthy of the title of master. ”
Although they can't be blamed, the style specimens at that time would be destroyed in a centralized manner to prevent them from being passed on to the world, and there were very few such style specimens left by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in later generations.
But Jiang Feng doesn't care about this, if you don't have knowledge, you can't call yourself a master, and it's your fault if you can't see it.
This is the same as being beaten if you fall behind.
"The copper coin is done, it is one of the six springs ordered by Wang Mang to build after he ascended the throne, the rare Zhuangquan is forty, and it is also one of the fifty treasures of ancient coins. Luo Pu, who was cleaning up copper coins not far away, said excitedly.
It can be ranked among the 50 treasures of ancient coins, all of which are rare and very collectible ancient coins.
"Are you sure it's true or not?"
Liang Zhenhui believed in Luopu's vision, but still asked more.
"Sure it's true, the spring character is vertically broken into two sections, with a diameter of 2.2 centimeters, weighing about three grams, the text is a delicate hanging needle seal, the overall layout is well-proportioned and decent, there is no doubt about the genuine product, and the market price is between 30,000 and 50,000!" Luo Pu nodded affirmatively.
Jiang Feng didn't care, there was nothing wrong about the copper coin, it was indeed Zhuangquan forty.
"Wang Lei, do you have any objections to your handling results?"
"I... Master Jiang, the owner, please don't fire me, I have worked diligently for five years for this shop, for the sake of my lack of merit and hard work, please give me another chance!"
Wang Lei was terrified, begged bitterly, and there was no luck in his heart.
What happened here today will not be long before it spreads throughout the sea of clouds, and by then he will also follow to "become famous", and there are antique shops that dare to invite him?
"Get out, there is no way to be lucky or bad, but people call themselves!" Jiang Feng did not relent.
Wang Lei doesn't have much ability, but he is flattering and bullying his subordinates very much, such a wine bag and rice bag are not dismissed and kept for the New Year?
"Security, pull him away!" Ren Ran said.
If he is left in tears here, he can't say that the Treasure Pavilion will be burdened with a ruthless debt that is not in existence.
"No, you can't do that! I want to see my old club!"
No matter how Wang Lei cried and regretted it, he was still pulled away by the security guards.
"Tsk, Wang Lei has been working in your Treasure Pavilion for five years, and he fired people like this? Ma Jinghua stroked his palms and smiled, boasting and sarcastic.
"If you have a little sympathy, why don't you ask Wang Lei to go back to the town, I believe he will be grateful to Ma Ye and be a cow and a horse. Jiang Feng snorted coldly.
This guy looks at the five big and three thick, but in fact, he is insidious, from his appearance to the present, every sentence seems to be soft, but in fact, there is a hidden blade.
No wonder Leung Chun-fai values it so much, and even handed over the treasure shop to his son-in-law to take care of.
"This is not suitable, I don't dare to rob the people of your Treasure Pavilion, but this Wang Lei also deserves it, and he has no real skills. Ma Jinghua said with a smile.
"Ma Jinghua, you don't fan the wind here and light the ghost fire!" Ren Ran's face was full of vigilance.
Would this guy be so kind to help the Treasure Pavilion speak?
Liang Zhenhui turned a deaf ear to this, what did he do with the competition of young people, an old guy, to bully the small?
If you have that time, you might as well discuss this snuffbox with a few friends.
"The new owner has wronged me, I am also thinking about your Treasure Pavilion, you say, this Wang Lei is such a rice bucket, he has been in the Treasure Pavilion for five years, how many fakes do you have to collect for your Treasure Pavilion?"
