Chapter 120: Baylor House

Porcelain and coins are experts themselves, and miscellaneous items are also okay, calligraphy and painting are half a bucket of water, but Zhang Nan doesn't know anything about this wood!

It's not that you can't see the quality of the carving manufacturing process, but you really don't understand wood!

After playing with antiques for more than 20 years, this will put an ordinary variety of mahogany pen holder, a rosewood pen holder and a huanghuali pen holder in front of his eyes, Zhang Nan can't recognize it at all!

Someone explained the difference to him, and he saw the difference at the time, and in a few days give him a Huanghuali bookcase, and he can also give you a blind guess for a long time!

It's useless to teach ten times, which is also a strange phenomenon in the antique industry: many players are like this, after playing for a lifetime, they may not understand certain things, and even if someone teaches them, they can't learn it!

In this case, there are generally many people who do not understand calligraphy and painting, because playing calligraphy and painting requires a certain degree of artistic appreciation and historical and cultural knowledge. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but I can't even remember the variety of wood, and I can't see it, it's also wonderful!

Unfortunately, Zhang Nan is such an outlier!

So last time in the Jin Provincial Cultural Relics Store, the wooden bookcase that was used as the packaging box of the "Twelve Golden Hairpins of the Red Mansion", Zhang Nan was actually divided according to the color: the red one is considered to be mahogany, so what color and texture characteristics of the red sandalwood?

I'm sorry, he doesn't know, he can't remember, he can't tell!

The color of the old yellow pear is old yellow or red, and I can't tell the difference!

But if a friend takes a pen holder and tells him that it is Huanghuali, Zhang Nan can tell you a rough price according to the pulp, shape and artistic value. But I would never ask for it, nor would I judge the wood species of this thingβ€”I didn't understand it at all, and I couldn't see it!

In his previous life, he must have had a grudge against the carpenter!

(In fact, the blood bat may have a grudge against the carpenter in his last life, and he has played antiques for more than 20 years.

So there is basically no plot of antique furniture in this book, we really don't understand this piece, I hope you are volume. οΌ‰

After breakfast, the two drove to Liulichang and strolled until one o'clock in the afternoon.

They are tired of walking, but the two of them can't rest yet: this trip Zhang Nan originally wanted to take things to the western frontier, but since he had acquaintances, he simply kept most of the things in Weng Yeming's house temporarily, and took them away once and again when he came to the capital next time.

Except for the pair of the most precious "enamel color apricot forest spring swallow bowls", which were tightly wrapped and carried with them, everything else was packed and sent to Weng Yeming's house.

Only then did Zhang Nan know where the home of Weng Yeming's sisters and brothers was: the car drove to Liuhai Hutong in the XC district of the capital. It is said to be an alley, but in fact, the road here is still relatively wide, and it is no problem for two cars to drive.

A large courtyard house, where several families lived, the yard seemed to be very chaotic, and it became a miscellaneous courtyard. Zhang Nan looked at it, it seemed to be a courtyard house built by the former Qing officials, and the materials were more elegant, but now they have been divided beyond recognition!

As for what kind of wood is used in the old house?

Sorry, I can't see it.

Weng Yeming's home is relatively tidy, and the housing conditions are relatively generous: three main rooms with a small kitchen, but it seems that there is no bathroom in sight, and it is estimated that he still needs to go to the public bathroom.

When the things were finished, Weng Qianhui also came back.

In front of the two of them, Zhang Nan took out two large bundles of RMB and handed them to Weng Yeming, "Rest assured and bold, call me if you have anything." When you do a good job, I'll award you a motorcycle, it's a bit far to ride a bicycle here to Panjiayuan and Liulichang. ”

There are always 15 kilometers, complaining about the big guys in the big cities - this is quite close, it is very common to take the bus for an hour or two to go to work in Beijing and Shanghai, and the good time of life is wasted on squeezing the bus.

Weng Yeming was very happy: If there is a motorcycle, it will be a very exciting thing!

In the 80s, motorcycles were not restricted in the capital at all, and now it is still a symbol of youth, freedom and reform!

It can drive on the road of the second ring road of the capital at will, and get along harmoniously with the car, without caring about the disgust and surprised eyes around it, and it does not need to have the trouble of whether motorcycles are restricted in front of it!

Not to mention the need to find a way to spend a lot of money to buy a Beijing A license plate, the driver naturally wears a helmet to ensure safety, rather than seeing it as a burden.

Facing the curious eyes of his neighbors in the same hospital, Zhang Nan went out of the yard accompanied by Weng Qianhui's sister and brother.

took Weng Yeming to the bank to deposit money, and Zhang Nan also sent Weng Qianhui to work in a hotel by the way - her bicycle was directly stuffed into the trunk, anyway, the Beijing traffic police would not check this.

However, when he arrived at the parking place at the door, Zhang Nan stood still: there was a huge portal diagonally opposite, and there was such a door on the high blue brick walls on both sides: the shape of the gate was Guangliang Gate, which was second only to the palace gate!

I didn't pay much attention just now: it was blocked by a big car parked there.

That gate is a pair of drum-shaped doors, according to the convention, you must be a second-grade official to have this qualification, taken together, it should have been a high-level royal mansion in the Qing Dynasty.

I saw that many people were moving miscellaneous things out of it and loading them onto two large trucks.

The person who took the lead in transporting things seemed to know Weng Qianhui's sister and brother, and said hello here, and glanced at the Mercedes-Benz by the way.

"What kind of place is this?" asked Zhang Nan.

"It's a department store warehouse, and my dad worked there when he was there. ”

"Hehe, you two should have a top job. ”

"Bad luck, we're both too young. Weng Qianhui replied.

Zhang Nan looked at the posture of the people opposite, it seemed that he was going to move in a big way, and even moved out a few cabinets.

"What are they doing here?"

"The department store has built a new warehouse, and during this time, we have to move things here one after another. ”

"What about the yard over here?"

Hearing this, Zhang Nan became interested.

"I don't know, maybe sell it or use it as a dormitory. Brother Zhang, you?"

Weng Qianhui also changed her words: No matter how old she is, she is still called brother.

Zhang Nan didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Can you go in and have a look?"

"Of course, when we were young, we often went inside to play, just talk to Uncle Wang. ”

The Uncle Wang in Weng Qianhui's mouth is the head of the warehouse department of the department store, although this "minister" sounds like an official, he is actually a section chief, the one who directs the moving of things.

Sure enough, the other party had no opinion at all - as long as he didn't enter the warehouses where the goods were still locked, he could turn around casually.

After turning around, Zhang Nan said to Weng Yeming's sister and brother: "Qing system: The foundation of Baylor Mansion is six feet high, with three main entrances and one open door. The hall houses are five-layered, each wide and five-room, all of which are made of tube tiles. There are two types of ridges: lion and seahorse. The door and pillar are decorated with red and green oil, and the beams and buildings are gilded, and the flowers and plants are painted. It was supposed to be a Baylor house, and it was well preserved. ”
