Jiang Feng then regarded Lan Bo as air, and continued to say to Gao Dongjie: "There will be no mistake in the year, it is the early and middle period of the Republic of China, and in that period, the more famous wood carving masters were Song Qing and Zhu Nanyuan, as for the other two of the four major wood carving masters, they became famous in the late Republic of China. ”

The wood carving in the Republic of China is still relatively famous, because after the Republic of China, it was changed, and many foreigners and overseas Chinese came to China, especially fond of this kind of wood carving antiques.

"Which master's work is that?" asked Gao Dongjie with some excitement.

These two masters, no matter which one they come from, the value of this mahogany tiger will rise greatly.

"The Republic of China, won't it?, why do I look like the late Qing Dynasty!?" Bai Duying asked suspiciously.

"The eye distinguishes the year, one is to look at the old and the new, but to look at the dust accumulated in the crevices, and the other is to speculate based on the year when this type of work is most prevalent.

Of course, there are other ways, precious wood like mahogany, in the Qing Dynasty, almost all of them were exclusively for the royal family, Master Bai, you see this mahogany tiger, is carved from a whole section of large mahogany.

At least the tree must be thousands of years old, such a precious thousand-year-old mahogany, do you think anyone would dare to move it except for the royal family?" Jiang Feng finally asked.

"Don't dare..."

Bai Duying muttered to herself.

"Why didn't I think of that..."

Such a precious wood must be used in the construction of the imperial palace, or the royal coffin, and it is a felony for ordinary people to move it!

So there is no way anyone could have used it to carve a mahogany tiger.

Naturally, it can't be something from the late Qing Dynasty, it can only be the Republic of China!

"This mahogany tiger can't be the work of Zhu Nanyuan or Song Qing, neither of them is good at carving large wood carvings, it's just nonsense!" Lan Bo interjected disdainfully.

"Hehe, then whose handiwork do you think it is?" Jiang Feng asked with a sneer.

"It should be the work of Master Lin Youxu, who is especially good at this kind of delicate and expressive large-scale wood carving. Lan Bo said coldly.

He studied the works of several masters in such depth that it was impossible to be mistaken.

"As far as I know, Lin Youxu spoke out in the late Qing Dynasty and became famous in the middle of the Republic of China, and the carving of this mahogany tiger is perfect, it is unlikely, right?" Jiang Feng said disdainfully.

"Lin Youxu became famous in the middle of the Republic of China, but who stipulates that carvers can't be accomplished before they become famous?" Lan Bo retorted.

Becoming famous does not mean that his carving only entered the realm of masters at that time.

"Mr. Gao, have you ever inquired about what kind of family name is left over from that deserted village?" Jiang Feng looked at Gao Dongjie.

"This... No, there are not many families in that village, and they have all moved to the city, and I was also found by a nearby friend who told me that there were mahogany tigers there. Gao Dongjie replied.

If it weren't for the deserted village, how could he have gotten the Mahogany Tiger so easily.

"The village is in Cloud City?"

"How did Mr. Jiang know, the village is indeed in Yun City!" Gao Dongjie said in surprise.

He never told anyone where he got the things, and he was afraid of getting into trouble.

Jiang Feng is divine!

"Hehe, there is usually a genealogy in rural villages, so you might as well ask if there is a person named Song Qing in the ancestor of the village. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Song Qing is a person from Yunshi, and after he stopped carving in his later years, he heard that he returned to Yunshi.

This mahogany tiger carver is absolutely master-level handiwork.

It is very likely to be Song Qing's handiwork!

As for Lin Youxu, he probably didn't have such a superb level at that time.

"I'm going to ask my friend to ask a few families who are still in the village!" Gao Dongjie hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

He hadn't even thought about looking at the human genealogy.

"Okay, I guess we'll have an answer soon, Mr. Lan, what do you think!?" Jiang Feng sneered.

Lan Bo's face was gloomy when he heard this, "It's just a coincidence, Song Qing is from Yun City, it doesn't mean that the mahogany tiger was carved by him!"

He insisted on his opinion, this is Lin Youxu's work!

Jiang Feng smiled, too lazy to argue with him, the truth of the matter will be revealed soon.

Half an hour later, Gao Dongjie received a call from a friend, and after hanging up, he looked excited.

According to an old man, he returned to the village in his old age, and the mahogany tiger was carved by Song Qing himself, and the villagers enshrined it!"

Lan Bo's face turned pale when he heard this, this is a real hammer!

"Mr. Lan, do you have anything to add?" Jiang Feng looked at Lan Bo with a smile.

"Master Jiang, Mr. Lan is also looking away for a while. Bai Duying smiled awkwardly and played a round.

In terms of carving, in fact, Song Qing and Lin Youxu have similarities, there is a rumor that Lin Youxu once studied art with Song Qing, which may be the reason why the two have similar styles. Jiang Feng said.

As for whether it was or not, it was all so many years ago, and the people who knew it had already died, so he naturally had no way to investigate.

But there is always a reason for the groundless thing.

"I read it wrong, I'm willing to apologize to Master Jiang!" Lan Bo said in a deep voice.

Although he is old-fashioned, facts speak louder than words, and if he is wrong, he is wrong.

"Forget it, I don't care about you. Jiang Feng shook his head.

Knowing mistakes and admitting mistakes, people are not incurable, and there is no need to worry too much.

"Master Jiang Gaoyi!" Bai Duying was overjoyed when he heard this.

He also didn't want to see Lan Bo offend Jiang Feng, I heard that Jiang Feng's background was not ordinarily deep.

"Alright, Mr. Gao, can you let me see your collection now?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Naturally, Mr. Jiang has a lofty character, which is my honor for Gao. Gao Dongjie hurriedly said.

Even he didn't expect Jiang Feng to reveal this matter so easily.

is so young and capable, shouldn't he be young and vigorous, and there is no one in his eyes?

The spirit of the city is amazing!

"Two, I still have something to talk about with Master Jiang, so I can do it myself. Gao Dongjie smiled at Bai Duying and Lan Bo.

"You're busy!"

Subsequently, Gao Dongjie took Jiang Feng into the villa and entered the underground collection storage warehouse.

"There are so many things!" Jiang Feng was a little surprised when he saw the number of collections inside.

Six or seven hundred pieces are definitely there.

"It's all wood carvings, it's not expensive, and when I see what I like, I buy it back and collect it, which is not as good as antiques. Gao Dongjie said with a smile.

If it were a few hundred antiques, he would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

There are not many ancient wood carvings inside, and some of them are modern artworks, but the materials are precious.

"Yes. ”

Jiang Feng nodded, the price of wood carving is much lower than that of antiques, and there are not many master wood carvings, so famous works are naturally scarce.

"Mr. Jiang, please come here, the Nanmu box you want to see is here!"

Gao Dongjie took Jiang Feng to a wooden shelf, on which a Nanmu box was quietly placed there, thirty centimeters long and about seven or eight centimeters wide, with a golden body and a strip of gold inlaid in it.
