Chapter 259: Master Yunbo

After confirming the purchase of this black brick inkstone, Mo Yongxin did not leave in a hurry, but continued to select antiques on the treasure shelves outside, this black brick inkstone was an accident, Mo Yongxin came here to buy a birthday gift for his grandfather, and did not pick a birthday gift, Mo Yongxin naturally would not leave like this.

Qin Yu and several people also looked at some antiques in Xiangbaozhai, from calligraphy and painting to jade porcelain, Xiangbaozhai can be said to have everything, but the most is calligraphy and painting.

At this moment, Qin Yu is standing in front of a pair of calligraphy and paintings, admiring this calligraphy and painting, it's not that Qin Yu is not interested in other antiques, it's really that he is a layman in the antique industry, looking at calligraphy and painting, he can also appreciate some of everyone's fonts, porcelain and other things, and in his eyes, he really can't see any difference from the handicrafts sold in the mall?

The two siblings, Meng Yao and Meng Fang, knew a little more than Qin Yu in this regard, but they were not much better, among the young people present, only Fang Ning knew more about antiques.

"This is a jade cicada from the Tang Dynasty, although the texture is good, but it is not very suitable as a birthday gift......" At this moment, Fang Ning was also accompanying Mo Yongxin, and saw Mo Yongxin pick up a piece of jade cicada and give advice on the side.

Qin Yu glanced at the jade cicada in Mo Yongxin's hand, he had still heard of the jade cicada, this thing was also related to their feng shui masters, and it was even proposed by the feng shui masters at the earliest.

After a person dies, the soul disappears under normal circumstances, but there will still be a mouthful of popularity, which is very small, and it will take a few months or even a few years to disappear, and at this time, this popularity can easily become a ghost, and even cause a corpse.

Jade. It has always had the effect of suppressing evil spirits, and after people die, they have a piece of jade in their mouths. It can prevent the corpse from changing, and the reason why it will be made into the shape of the cicada is related to the meaning of the cicada, the cicada has been a symbol of the literati since ancient times, the dew of the diet, and the jade Zen in the mouth seems to be the physiological habits of the cicada to give the deceased a specific meaning, which means that after death, people do not eat and drink dew. It is born out of turbid dirt and does not stick to sludge and turbid water.

In addition, cicadas have the ability to shed their shells and be reborn, which is also the sustenance of the ancients for the dead. It is hoped that the deceased will be spiritually immortal and resurrected again.

Therefore, the jade cicadas unearthed generally come from the mouths of the four people, and naturally they cannot be used as birthday gifts, and the things on the bodies of the dead are given to the old people as birthday gifts. It's also disrespectful.

After Mo Yongxin put down the jade cicada. His eyes fell on a fruit bowl on the side, which was carved from jade of different colors, and several kinds of fruits were placed in the fruit bowl: peach, apple, and ordinary.

The three kinds of fruits carved from this jade look no different from the real fruit plate, the peach is huge and bright, the apple powder is red, and the ordinary is also purple and shiny, or you can't see that these are carved out of jade if you don't observe carefully.

"This Ping'an longevity fruit plate was carved by Master Liu of the Northern School, and the jade used is Hetian old jade. What is rare is that this fast jade itself is naturally formed, not patchwork. It is a rare treasure of our Xiangbao Zhai, of course, because Master Liu is a master carver in modern times, this carving is not an antique, but with Master Liu's skills, plus this rare jade quality, it is also very collectible, and it is also very suitable as a birthday gift. ”

Seeing Mo Yongxin's eyes fall on this jade fruit plate, the big shopkeeper of Xiangbao Zhai explained on the side, Mo Yongxin picked up this fruit plate and looked at it a few times, and then put it down.

Although this fruit bowl is good, it still feels a little clichΓ© in Mo Yongxin's eyes, and she wants to find a more suitable one as a birthday gift.

Later, Mo Yongxin also came to the calligraphy and painting area like Qin Yu, Xiangbao Zhai started with calligraphy and painting, and this calligraphy and painting area is almost equal to the total number of all other antiques.

"This is a birthday sticker, if you want to find a birthday gift for Old Man Mo, this birthday sticker is very suitable. Shopkeeper Li smiled and pointed to a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and said: "This is written by Zhang Zhi in the Ming Dynasty, it is said that it was the birthday of a certain prince, and the prince's son personally found Zhang Zhi and begged Zhang Zhi for more than a month, and Zhang Zhi agreed." ”

Qin Yu listened to the words of the shopkeeper Li, and his eyes also looked at the birthday sticker hanging on the wall, Zhang Zhi's fame, Qin Yu naturally heard of it, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhi was known as a small calligrapher, and was a famous calligrapher at that time.

This pair of birthday stickers, the handwriting is vigorous, staggered, especially the chapter, from beginning to end, the penmanship is looking forward to, towards the Yanyang, clear and transparent, the shape is broken, Qin Yu is secretly nodding, worthy of calligraphy, this font is like the font of the sage Wang Xizhi.

"This is?" Mo Yongxin's eyes lit up when she saw this birthday sticker, but then her eyes fell on the calligraphy and painting next to the birthday sticker, this is a scripture, Qin Yu only glanced at it, and then turned his head, the scripture on it, Qin Yu knew, it was the merit scripture of the King of Jizo.

"This is the Dizang Merit Sutra, and the person who wrote this scripture is also a very famous person, Master Yunbo of the Song Dynasty, who was once the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, and this Dizang Merit Sutra is used to recite and accumulate virtue, and it is also suitable if it is used as a birthday gift. ”

"How much is this Dizang Merit Sutra?" Mo Yongxin finally asked the price for the first time, Mo Yongxin's grandfather believed in Buddhism, and this Dizang Merit Sutra was written by a senior monk, I think my grandfather would like it very much.

"Master Yunbo is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, cultivation is profound, this through his own handwritten scriptures, not much, some time ago in the capital of an ancient Buddha collection, a Ming Dynasty Emei Mountain Yuankong Master hand-copied Bodhisattva Sutra auction price is 1.3 million, this Yunbo Master Tibetan merit Sutra our Xiangbao Zhai price is five million. ”

"The price of five million is not expensive, Yongxin, you can think about it. After listening to Shopkeeper Li's offer, Fang Ning nodded on the side, indicating that the price was fair.

"Five million to buy an ordinary scripture book is still called justice. Qin Yu shook his head and muttered in a low voice.

However, although Qin Yu's voice was small, it was still heard by one person, this person was Mo Yongxing, Mo Yongxing heard Qin Yu's muttering words, and directly muttered loudly: "Qin Yu, you said this Buddhist scripture is fake?"

Swish!

As soon as Mo Yongxing's words came out, in an instant, everyone's eyes looked down on Qin Yu, Qin Yu smiled bitterly, Mo Yongxing's ears are really sharp, he can hear his own whispered voice.

"The Buddhist scriptures are indeed the Jizo merit scriptures, and there is no falsehood. Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Yu had no choice but to speak.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Shopkeeper Li's originally ugly face improved, a store like Xiangbao Zhai, what they are most afraid of is the appearance of fakes, and reputation is the most important thing for them.

Nowadays, not all people who buy antiques know about antiques, some people don't understand, but they don't want to buy fakes, so a reputable shop is the best choice for this kind of people, even if the price is a little more expensive.

Some of these people are bought to give away, for them, the price is high, this gift is most afraid of giving fakes, if people understand, it's okay, if they don't understand, they think it's intentional, reluctant to give up the money, so in contrast, the guarantee of authenticity is the most important thing for this kind of people.

And Xiang Bao Zhai is actually relying on this kind of people to make money, the real antique shop people, either to go to the stall to pick up the leak, or really look at this antique, for the price does not matter, otherwise under normal circumstances will not come to Xiang Bao Zhai such an old store.

"I just heard you say that you said that five million to buy an ordinary Buddhist scripture is called justice. "Mo Yongxing didn't give Qin Yu a round at all, this guy just wanted to see Qin Yu make a fool of himself, although it was someone else who made a fool of himself every time, but it was exactly like this, Mo Yongxing's resentment was getting deeper and deeper, if Qin Yu didn't eat it once, he was really unwilling.

"Ahem~" Qin Yu glared at Mo Yongxing, and had no choice but to continue: "This Buddhism is indeed the Dizang Merit Sutra, but the person who wrote this Sutra is not Master Yunbo. ”

Now that Mo Yongxing has already revealed his bottom, then Qin Yu simply said it, besides, Miss Mo is also his friend, and seeing Miss Mo spend five million to buy an ordinary Buddhist scripture, he will also feel unhappy.

"This sutra has Master Yunbo's Dharma seal on it, how could it not be written by Master Yunbo himself. Shopkeeper Li's beard stood up, if it weren't for the fact that the young man in front of him was a friend of Miss Mo, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with the Meng family, it should be not small, and his tone might have been even more impulsive.

This sutra is Xiang Bao Zhai spent three million into a Buddhist lover from the collection, this Buddhist lover in the Buddhist world is also a well-known believer, originally this sutra has been his private collection, but recently because of business mistakes, capital turnover can not come, only reluctantly resold this sutra to Xiang Bao Zhai.

At the beginning, this Buddhist scripture was also identified by Li shopkeeper and an appraiser of Xiangbao Zhai, Buddhist scriptures and other ancient scriptures are very well identified, this kind of scriptures are very few imitations in the cultural relics market, first of all, because in addition to those famous great mages who have transcribed the scriptures by hand, the general scriptures are not of high value, and those counterfeit dealers are unwilling to spend more time on this.

The identification of scriptures is generally to look at the paper materials and the back of the seal, the so-called seal is the official seal, a famous temple will have its own seal, generally kept by the abbot, this seal is now the official seal, used for the surface of identity.

Now Qin Yu said that this Buddhist scripture was not transcribed by Master Yunbo himself, and the shopkeeper Li was naturally angry, Qin Yu's words not only did not believe in the credibility of Xiangbao Zhai, but also showed that he did not believe in his appraisal level.

"Mr. Qin said that this Buddhist scripture was not written by Master Yunbo, I wonder what evidence Mr. Qin has?"

Even if Miss Mo's identity background is scary, Xiangbao Zhai is not something that can be slandered.

PS: There will be six watches today, and there will be a big outbreak at the end of the month, so I ask for everything. (To be continued......)
