Chapter 618: Hearing is better than seeing

Shen Ge's father smiled and said to Shen Chongyuan, "Dad, can you tell me if I can test you first?"

"I don't have to look at the bottom of the money to know that it should be able to get Ming. Shen Chongyuan said, but looked at Yu Yao again.

"This box should have no bottom money. Yu Yao said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Shen Chongyuan was stunned, and his son was also stunned. Shen Chongyuan was stunned because he was surprised, while his son and Shen Ge's father were stunned, obviously surprised that Yu Yao knew it before he started.

And Shen Ge just pursed his lips and smiled.

"What do you say?" asked Shen Zhongyuan.

"This is a lacquer box from the Jiajing period, with and without a model. The things used by the court and rewarded by the royal family are generally brought with money. Those who do not bring money are mostly folk things. However, this box, although it does not carry a paragraph, is also a palace thing from the point of view of workmanship······"

Before Yu Yao finished speaking, Father Shen was a little surprised. Shen Chongyuan praised Yu Yao before, and said Yu Yao a few times in front of him, but he always thought, how high can a young student be, no matter how high his eyesight is?

However, this lacquered gold and silver ingot box is originally an unpopular antique collection, and it is not easy to recognize and break the dynasty. Yu Yao not only said that it was from the Ming Dynasty, but also pointed out the Jiajing Dynasty.

This thing, if he is not clear and directly identified, he can't say so specific.

The most important thing is that now Yu Yao didn't pick it up to look at the bottom of the box, and actually pointed out the situation of the payment for a while.

"Since it's a palace thing, how can you judge it if you don't look at the bottom money?" Father Shen was surprised, and couldn't help but speak.

"Judging the things of the palace is mainly because of the workmanship, and judging that there is no bottom money, because when you took it out just now, the bottom of the box was on the side, and you could see part of it. ”

Hearing this, Shen's father and son couldn't help but glance at each other, crying and laughing.

I saw it!

However, Jiang is still old and spicy, Shen Chongyuan groaned slightly, and suddenly waved his hand, "No! There are two main types of Jiajing lacquerware in the Ming Dynasty, if it is a fine-needle carved lacquer model, just glance at the bottom of the box on the micro side with the movement of his hand, how can you see it?"

"Shen Lao, this is a silver ingot box with colored lacquer and gold, how can it be carved with a fine needle? It can only be a knife carved and filled with gold, as long as you can look at the bottom of the box sideways, there is no feeling of flashing golden light, then it is basically nothing!"

"Ouch!" Shen Chongyuan listened, and couldn't help patting his head, "How do I feel that my brain is a little short-circuited, this is colored lacquer and gold, and it can indeed only be a knife carved with gold." ”

There are two main ways to pay for Jiajing lacquerware, one is called carved lacquer, which is generally carved directly on the lacquer surface with a fine needle; The words of the gold-filled section are naturally larger than the carved lacquer version, and because of the gold-filled version, it is more eye-catching.

"Dad, it's because Yu Yao pointed out that it was something from the Jiajing Dynasty at once, and you haven't turned around yet!" Shen Ge's father smiled, and then said to Yu Yao:

"This box, because there is no money, so it is controversial to find someone to identify, some say that it can go to Jiajing, some say that Wanli is about the same, and some say that it is something in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. If you can make a final decision, I will be much more relieved. ”

"Then you have to believe me. ”

"I believe it. And I have to ask you!" Father Shen said seriously.

Yu Yao thought for a while, "It was impossible in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this kind of exquisite shape and workmanship, as well as the feeling revealed by the ornamentation, would not have existed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties." ”

"Insightful!" Father Shen nodded, and then couldn't help but look at Shen Ge.

Yu Yao continued, "After Xuande in the Ming Dynasty and before Jiajing, in the past hundred years, the development of official lacquerware has basically stagnated. This box must not be Xuande's. On the whole, it is basically the situation of Jiajing and Wanli. ”

"Yes, it is said that it is a person from Wanli, and he is quite persistent. Father Shen answered.

"The lacquerware of the Jiajing Dynasty, after nearly a hundred years of development and changes, has appeared a delicate and delicate style. In particular, the lacquered and gold works bring a craft to the extreme. Yu Yao then said.

Shen Chongyuan nodded slightly, "Collecting rhinos?"

"That's right. In terms of overall style, it is possible for both Jiajing and Wanli, but this craftsmanship has the typical characteristics of the Jiajing Dynasty, so it can be seen that it is not Wanli, but Jiajing!"

The so-called rhino is simply a small circle pattern, that is, outside the main pattern, it is neither a one-color lacquer base, nor a common brocade pattern, but a dense small circle.

This kind of process is not found on all lacquerware, and it is mostly used at the same time as gold.

"Such a small silver ingot box, with a rhino, is indeed a bit self-inflicted. Shen Chongyuan smiled.

"The Jiajing Dynasty used very little on the silver ingot box. Yu Yao frowned, "I even guess that the reason for not paying is because it is too special." ”

Father Shen stroked his palms and laughed, "Amazing, too powerful!"

At this moment, Shen's mother walked back to the living room and looked at her husband, "It's not easy to make you say amazing!"

"Oh! Yu Yao's eyesight, no wonder even Dad admires it, it's really better to see it than to hear it!"

"Cut!" Shen Ge pursed his lips, "You don't even smell ten things, do you?"

"Nonsense!" Father Shen said to Shen Ge, but he smiled on his face.

Mother Shen couldn't help but glance at Yu Yao again at this time, and seemed to be a little surprised, and then asked, "Xiao Yu, I don't know much about antiques, but I can make Shen Ge and his father say that it is amazing, do you have a special system to learn?"

"No, I just crawled through the market. ”

"Yu Yao must be a genius!" Shen Chongyuan smiled slightly, and then looked at Shen's mother, "Is the meal ready?"

Mother Shen nodded, "Yes, Dad." Shall we eat first?"

Dinner was prepared very richly, but Yu Yao came to the door for the first time, and he was embarrassed to let go of his belly. This time, Shen Ge sat next to him, but he kept serving him food.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, during which Shen Chongyuan and his grandfather mainly exchanged antiques with Yu Yao, Shen Chongyuan had long been accustomed to Yu Yao's extraordinary knowledge, but Shen Ge's father had an in-depth exchange for the first time, and he was full of praise.

Towards the end of the meal, Shen's mother looked at the empty space and greeted Yu Yao while asking, "Xiao Yu, what are your plans in the future?" Or do you mainly run an antique shop?"

Yu Yao put down his chopsticks, "Auntie, in fact, I don't have much time in the store now, mainly running outside." ”

"It's not a bad thing to run a lot, but you have to have a plan. Do you have any long-term plans, such as opening an art company or something?" asked Shen's mother again.
