Among the masters, needless to say, Lin Fengcao met Yu Yao's gaze, stretched out his hand and pointed to the top, and then closed the four sides that were pulled apart, and pointed again.

After the four sides are closed, the "treasure chest" becomes a "square", and on the outer walls of the four sides, the jade pieces that were originally inlaid with each other are even more conspicuous.

One side is inlaid with Gui-shaped green jade, one side is inlaid with Zhang-shaped red jade, one side is inlaid with amber-shaped white jade, and one side is inlaid with Huang-shaped black jade.

What Yu Yao saw just now was opened, although he could also see that there were jade pieces inlaid on all sides, but his attention was not on this, and he focused on the wood and internal craftsmanship of the red sandalwood box itself.

However, the jade pieces inlaid on all sides were roughly swept away, and Yu Yao had already understood the layout characteristics.

Needless to say, the bottom should also be inlaid with jade pieces. Yu Yao grabbed the square box with both hands and verified it again. Sure enough, it was a topaz piece in the shape of a cong.

The six sides of this treasure chest, in the shape of a jade piece, are inlaid with six colors and six vessels.

Worship the sky with the cangbi, the earth with the yellow cong, the east with the green gui, the south with the red zhang, the west with the white amber, and the north with the xuanhuang.

Jade, jade, jade, six kinds of jade ritual vessels, referred to as "six instruments", also known as "six rui", originated in the Zhou Dynasty and have been inherited for a long time.

This treasure chest is inlaid with six pieces of jade, which is a decoration with great connotation. Although the jade piece is not three-dimensional enough, the basic concept is very clear.

There is no problem with the main body of this red sandalwood treasure chest, Lin Fengcao can naturally determine it, and what he thinks is problematic is the six pieces of jade inlaid with it. In this regard, he was not sure, so he let Yu Yao see it.

Yu Yao looked at them one by one, and then he understood that Lin Fengcao's hesitation was not unreasonable.

These six pieces of jade have "garbled characters", and the years are not uniform.

Among them, Gui-shaped green jade, amber-shaped white jade, and Huang-shaped black jade, the years are relatively uniform, and they should all be jade pieces of the Qianlong period.

The black and cyan jade, on the other hand, is much earlier and is something from the late Ming Dynasty.

The Cong-shaped topaz piece should be from the late Qing Dynasty, and the original jade piece may be plain, and the Cong-shaped and ornamental work were added later.

Zhang-shaped red jade is the lightest in age, and it is a new piece of southern red agate carved and old.

In other words, this treasure chest is not a complete old thing.

If you look at it optimistically, the three pieces of jade from the Qianlong period may be inlaid on the original treasure chest, but this treasure chest is lost with pieces of jade, jade cong and jade, and it was made up later.

If you don't look at it optimistically, maybe the original jade piece inlay will lose even more, and even none of them will be made up later. It's just that the jade tablets in the back contain three pieces of the same year.

Such a thing cannot be collected between the two. However, if it is collected, there will naturally be a big gap in price.

In fact, in terms of the value of raw materials, there has not changed much, even if the Zhang-shaped red jade south red, although it is a new material, but the color is very good, and the material money is not cheap. However, for an antique, it is not "original", and this historical value and artistic value will be greatly reduced.

In front of so many people, Yu Yao couldn't say it clearly.

"I'm done, I'll reply to a message first. Yu Yao took out his mobile phone and sent the specific situation of the judgment to Lin Fengcao.

The old man understood what was going on at a glance.

However, this kind of thing, people don't know what to say, and he can't help it. And it is obvious that Yu Yao was invited to palm. It's just that the old man is very strange, how high is this young man, it seems that the remaining three people are the only ones in terms of eyesight.

"I'm sorry to waste you so long, old sir. At this time, Lin Fengcao opened his mouth, "In this way, the highest price I can offer is half of the lowest price you said, and I can't add it." ”

Lin Fengcao seems to still want to accept this thing, because the main body of the red sandalwood in the treasure chest is fine, and the inlaid "six instruments" are only a kind of "repair".

However, the highest price that can be offered is definitely not the same as the original product.

The old man smiled slightly, "Open the door to do business, and when you come, you will give us Wenruitang, and I have to thank you." However, at this price, it is difficult to make a deal. ”

"Well, I won't say much if you're polite. Lin Fengcao got up, "Then you're busy, let's leave." ”

The crowd followed suit and got up one after another.

The old man sent to the door, suddenly turned sideways, and said to Yu Yao, who was walking at the back, "This gentleman, you only came to help your friend's palm, and don't look at anything else?"

Yu Yao looked at the old man, and couldn't see anything from his expression, "My friend is gone, and I have to leave too." ”

The old man said, "I don't know what you are most interested in? ”

At this time, Lin Fengcao and Pu Jie had already gone out, and Shang Yong was about to step out of the door, but at this time he turned around, "It's okay to take a look!"

Of course he was willing to follow Yu Yao to watch things together.

Yu Yao thought about it slightly, he helped his friend, and the buyer and seller didn't know each other, which was normal in the industry, and the old man couldn't say anything no matter how unhappy he was. However, looking at what he meant, it seems to be a bit of a competition, to put it bluntly, he wants to try his own catties.

Yu Yao doesn't want to do much, and this store is relatively large, I'm afraid that even if there is a real thing, it is a real price, and Pu Jie and Lin Fengcao have already seen it before.

Thinking like this, Yu Yao glanced at Shang Yong, and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man, but I still have important things to discuss with the two friends who went out, so it is really inconvenient to stay for a long time." You stay. ”

After speaking, Yu Yao quickly pushed Shang Yong out of the door. The old man couldn't stay any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "Welcome to come and sit often." ”

"Don't be afraid of accidents, I'm also a local. After taking a few steps, Shang Yong whispered.

"Mainly, it's not interesting. Yu Yao said, "I picked up such a big leak in the Qianlong official kiln today, I'm afraid that my luck has been exhausted." ”

Shang Yong nodded helplessly, "Okay, then listen to you." ”

The four of them then met and discussed briefly. Today, there were no stalls in the market, and most of the things in the store were at real prices, and there were not many shops open, so I decided to leave.

Pu Jie suggested that since the Xianheng Hotel was nearby, let's try it, try the fennel beans that Kong Yiji had eaten.

Xianheng Hotel is almost well-known because of Lu Xun's article, and now it has opened many branches, and this store near them, Shang Yong introduced that it is the most authentic old store.

There is also a statue of Kong Yiji at the entrance of the store.

When they entered, it was not yet lunchtime, and there were relatively few people, and the old-fashioned layout inside, with counters, wooden tables and chairs, was very original and old-fashioned.

Shang Yong recommended fennel beans, stinky tofu and dried vegetables to stew pork, and then ordered a few special dishes, asked for a pot of flower carving, and the four of them sat around a table and had a drink.

After about ten minutes, the guests gradually began to arrive. At this time, the old man from Wenruitang actually came in!

After seeing Yu Yao and them, the old man smiled and said hello, and then sat down at the empty table on one side.
