Chapter 539: Fan A's Materia Medica
The auction continues, but the block is nearing its end.
Liu Zixia also bought a thing, but it was not a valuable item, just a pair of diamond earrings, he thought it was very beautiful, and it should be very suitable for Li Mengyi.
Therefore, Liu Zixia spent 70,000 yuan, and without much effort, he took a picture of this pair of diamond earrings.
Originally, Liu Zixia was not very interested in them after participating in several charity auctions, and now he can buy something, which is not a trip for nothing.
At least he spent the money and wouldn't be gossiped about.
"Next is the last lot, which was provided by Wai On of the Western Temple on Hong Kong Island. ”
It was close to 11 o'clock, and the auction was taking place for the last lot.
The auctioneer beckoned to the staff as he introduced.
A staff member walked up with a tray in his hand, and on the tray, there was an antique little box.
"This lot, is a manuscript of the late Ming Dynasty, it is said that it flowed from the inland, we specially found the antique appraisal master to identify, this manuscript is from the Meigong Chen Jiru's handwriting, called "Fan A Bencao"!"
Chen Jiru was born in 1558, that is, in the late Ming Dynasty, the word Zhong alcohol, the name Mei Gong, Elk Gong, Songjiang Huating, that is, Shanghu Songjiang District.
A famous writer, calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, he was good at ink and plum and landscape, and painted small albums of plum blossoms, natural and casual, and his attitude was sparse.
It can be said that Chen Jiru was a very influential calligrapher in the late Ming Dynasty.
"It's actually the manuscript of Meigong Chen Jiru, it's really rare!"
"I heard that Chen Jiru's calligraphy must have 700,000 square feet, right?"
"I think it's more than 700,000 square feet, right? What is this "Fan A Materia Medica"? Why don't you seem to have heard of it before......
As soon as the auctioneer's words ended, the guests in the hall began to discuss.
The people present are all people from the high society of Hong Kong Island, and only these rich and powerful masters can afford to play with antiques.
is like Liu Zixia now, just like the current Liu Zixia, who looks confused.
However, the reason why he was stunned was that in addition to not knowing who Chen Jiru was, he was more shocked by the name 'Fan A'.
Others may not know who Fan A is, but can Liu Zixia not know?
He is the heir of the Liu family in Shanghai, and the descendant of the 'Five Poultry Opera'!
Fan A, a native of Pengcheng, once studied medicine with the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and was good at acupuncture and had the courage to explore.
According to legend, Fan A used the 'lacquer leaf green sticky' pharmaceutical technique taught by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and took the medicine and lived to be more than 100 years old.
In fact, this legend is not true, because what the divine doctor Hua Tuo taught to Fan A is the Five Fowl Opera, and it is also the martial arts 'Five Fowl Opera', that is, the inheritance of the martial arts of the Liu family in Shanghai!
Back then, there were many people under the divine doctor Hua Tuo who studied medicine with him, except for Fan A, only Li Dangzhi learned the martial arts 'five poultry plays', and their Liu family's five bird plays were passed down from Li Dangzhi.
This 'Fan A' can also be said to be one of the ancestors of the Liu family's 'Five Fowl Opera'.
Up to now, Liu Zixia also understands why the old man of the Lin family has to come over to participate in today's charity auction, if not for anything else, just for this "Fan A Materia Medica"!
Mr. Liu devoted his life to martial arts and medical research.
Needless to say, in martial arts, for medicine, there is no end to learning.
"Fan A Materia Medica", as soon as I heard the name, it was related to medicine, and the reason why Mr. Lin asked Liu Zixia to participate in today's charity auction was also to give Liu Zixia a chance to fulfill his filial piety.
I believe that Liu Chumo will be very happy when he sees this "Fan A Bencao".
"This "Fan A Materia Medica" is only a few pages, but it contains a detailed record of some herbs, pathologies, and solutions to some incurable diseases. ”
The auctioneer, wearing a white gloved hand, took the box with a white glove hand, carefully lifted the lid, and then showed it in front of everyone:
It is a worn-out manuscript that is almost falling apart, and although it looks thin, it should be genuine, judging by the handwriting and the yellowed pages.
"Excuse me, can I go on stage and take a look at this "Fan A Materia Medica"?"
Just when everyone was talking, Liu Zixia suddenly stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to say.
Liu Zixia's voice rang out, attracting everyone in the hall to look in the direction of Liu Zixia.
When they saw that it was Liu Zixia, everyone's eyes showed a look of incomprehension, an ancient book that had been identified by an antique appraisal master, what else was there to look at?
Besides, you, an entertainer in the entertainment industry, can you understand this thing?
"Zi Xia, are you interested in this thing?" a puzzled expression appeared on Chang Bing's face.
There were also a lot of antiques, books and the like in the previous lots, but I didn't see that Liu Zixia was interested in these things?
This time, how did you show it so strongly?
"Hmm. Liu Zixia nodded and said, "I want to go on stage to see this thing, if there is a real record of medicine in it, I want to take a picture and give it to my grandfather." ”
"Your grandfather?" Chang Bing raised his eyebrows and said, "The old man likes ancient books?"
"Commander Chang, do you remember the director of the Central Security Bureau twenty years ago?" Liu Zixia didn't speak, but Lin Xuefeng rushed to the front to say something.
"Xuefeng, do you mean Liu Chumo, Old Man Liu?" Chang Bing was stunned for a moment and asked.
Lin Xuefeng nodded and said, "That's right, it's this old man." ”
"Of course I do!" Chang Bing nodded as a matter of course, and said:
"When I was in the Central Guard Bureau, I almost died on a mission, if it wasn't for Old Man Liu to save me, let alone the commander of the troops stationed on the island, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get out of the inland. ”
Hearing this, Liu Zixia subconsciously glanced at Chang Bing.
He really didn't expect that the two families would have this kind of relationship.
"Commander Chang, then if I tell you that Zixia is the grandson of Old Man Liu, what would you think?" Lin Xuefeng said with a smile.
"What?"
As soon as Lin Xuefeng's words fell, a shocked look appeared on Chang Bing's face.
He turned his head to look at Liu Zixia, and felt that this young man's face was really faintly with the familiar face from twenty years ago.
"You kid, you're really deep hidden!"
After looking at it for a while, Chang Bing patted Liu Zixia on the shoulder and said, "Then this time, I will also take a picture of this ancient book to repay Old Man Liu's life-saving grace." ”
"Don't!" Liu Zixia waved his hand again and again, "Commander Chang, can't you let me do my filial piety?"
Chang Bing stiffened his neck and retorted, "Then you can't stop me from repaying the grace of saving my life, right?"
Liu Zixia was by the Chang soldiers, what is this called?
Originally, he went up to take a look, and then spent money to take a picture, but Chang Bing had to stick a pole sideways, and he behaved so tough!
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Xuefeng with a resentful expression, if this guy didn't say it so clearly, there would definitely not be the current situation.
Lin Xuefeng also knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly twisted his head in other directions.
It's really terrible!
Liu Zixia rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Commander Chang, you want to buy this thing, so do you have the money?"
"Uh......" Chang Bing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses.
This is at the scene of a charity auction, and you have to talk about it with money!
How much money can he have as a soldier and a public servant?
If you really want to use money to smash it, everyone present is afraid that they will be richer than him.
......
Mr. Liu...... If you want to see it, please come up and take a look at it as soon as possible!"
At this time, the auctioneer on the auction table spoke.
When Liu Zixia was talking to Lin Xuefeng and Chang Bing just now, the auctioneer had already urged him twice, but Liu Zixia didn't hear it.
"Oh, I'll go right away!"
Liu Zixia nodded to the auctioneer, and then walked to the auction table calmly, put on white gloves, picked up this "Fan A Bencao" and looked at it.
Regarding whether "Fan A Materia Medica" is a unique ancient book, Liu Zixia basically has no doubts.
After all, it has been identified by the master of antiques, so you shouldn't be wrong.
Liu Zixia is not omnipotent, and he can't understand whether this book is an antique or not, what he cares about is the content recorded in this book.
This "Fan A Materia Medica" is only seven pages, except for the first page and the last page, the middle five pages are densely filled with words:
The first page is the grass department:
Aconitum aconitum: pungent and warm in taste.
The main stroke, bad wind, washing, sweating, removing cold and dampness, coughing against the upper qi, breaking accumulation, cold and heat. Its juice is fried, and the name is shot recklessly, and the birds and beasts are killed......
The second page is the Animal Department:
Sheep's horn: salty and warm.
The main blue blind eye, kill scabies, stop cold and discharge, ward off evil ghosts, tigers and wolves, and stop palpitations. Long-term service, peace of mind, good luck, light body. Ikukawa Valley......
The third page is the Worm and Fish Department......
Although there are only five pages, each page is a one, and there are notes that I want to write.
Liu Zixia turned the ground very slowly, and he looked very seriously.
For him, the content in this "Fan A Materia Medica" is really exquisite.
Even compared with the medical classics that their Liu family treasured, it is not far behind.
Buy it, be sure to buy it!
Liu Zixia had already made a silent decision in his heart.
After watching it carefully for more than ten minutes, when the auctioneer was a little impatient and wanted to urge, Liu Zixia put "Fan A Bencao" back into the antique small box.
Sitting back in his seat, Lin Xuefeng turned his head to look at him and said, "How is it?"
Liu Zixia didn't pay attention to this guy, but looked at the auctioneer and said lightly: "I'll pay 100,000!"
Although there is a big gap between this price and Chen Jiru's price of 700,000 yuan per square foot, Liu Zixia knows that this is just the beginning, and it will far exceed this price in the future.
Chang Bing, who was sitting next to Liu Zixia, didn't expect him to be 100,000 yuan as soon as he made a move!
100,000 yuan, not much, but not too little!
Chang Bing thought for a moment, and directly stretched out his hand and said, "I'll give 150,000!"
With these two people stunned, the atmosphere of the scene was lively.
After all, the people present are all predators in the political and business worlds, maybe they don't know medical skills, but they are still very interested in antiques.
"I'll give 200,000!"
"I'll give 300,000!"
"700,000 ......"
The scene became lively for a while.
In fact, when the price soared to 700,000, Chang Bing knew that nothing happened to him.
This is already the limit of what he can take, and if he takes out the money, not to mention that he can't explain how the money came from, I'm afraid that he, the commander of the troops stationed on the island, will soon be taken down and sent back to the interior.
And for this "Fan A Materia Medica", what he means is what he means, there is no need to really shoot it!
