Chapter 30: The Missing Treasure
Are they all taught by physical education teachers? What era is Ji Xiaolan? Is the jade carving master of the Ming Dynasty a time-traveling person? He even carved out all the characters of later generations?
"Ji Xiaolan is a senior official of the Qing Dynasty?" Zhao Tianming said depressedly.
Chen Fatzi nodded suspiciously, and said secretly: I know!
Haven't you even reacted yet?
Fortunately, Wang Zhiwei finally came to his senses, and his face became embarrassed: "Then this is definitely not a carving of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"That's right! How could the people of the Ming Dynasty know the people of the Qing Dynasty?" Zhao Tian said plainly.
Fat Chen finally changed color, and his whole face turned pale and blue. This jade, it cost him millions to get it, and he got a fake?
"This ...... This ......" Chen Xiaopang stammered a little when he spoke.
He also has a net worth of tens of millions, but it is very painful to lose millions. Don't look at his professional knowledge, but he has always cheated others, and no one else has cheated him.
Wang Zhiwei patted him on the shoulder: "Maxima also has a hoof! Don't worry too much." ”
Chen Xiaopang's face twitched, and he said secretly: Of course you don't feel distressed! First, you have a lot of money, and 10 million is a drop in the bucket; second, it's not your loss!
"Let's see if there are any other masterpieces of the Ming Dynasty and introduce them. Wang Zhiwei said.
Zhao Tianming began to contact the jade, and a piece of information reached his mind, and he instantly grasped the specific information of the jade. Sure enough, it is a modern work, but the carving is really good, and it imitates the carving techniques of the ancient method.
At the end of that message, Zhao Tianming's face suddenly changed, and his eyes turned to a jade plaque on the waist of the statue.
He glanced at Wang Zhiwei and let him get it. That jade plate is just right for Wang Zhiwei's requirements.
"What? Didn't you say this is a fake?" Wang Zhiwei was stunned.
Chen Xiaopang also looked over and thought to himself: Could it be that this kid deliberately said this and wanted to trap him?
However, if you think about it seriously, it's not right! The character is really Ji Xiaolan, then it is definitely not a carving of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't make sense. He remembered that when he got the jade carving, he got it from two tomb robbers.
At that time, he thought, although it is not clean, it must be real. If you put it for three or two years, you can't tell that it is a newly unearthed cultural relic.
"I didn't say it's a fake! But the carving is definitely not an object of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is modernly carved, but the carving can not be ignored, and it is a piece of real jade Undoubtedly, the value is there, Brother Wang, you should not lose if you get it." Zhao Tianming said.
When Chen Xiaopang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, yes! No matter what, it was still a piece of real jade, and it was carved lifelike, and it was still worth a little money, so it would not make him lose all his money.
Wang Zhiwei nodded indifferently: "Okay, then listen to my brother." However, Boss Chen, I can't give you money for this jade carving at the original price, and the loss is certain. ”
Although he has money, he is not blown by the wind, and he will not make up for Chen Xiaopang's loss.
Chen Xiaopang himself knew very well, and nodded hurriedly, he could still sell Boss Wang a face, he almost gave it away.
"What do you mean, how about 100,000?" Chen Xiaopang said.
Wang Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, then I will accept your favor!"
In addition, Wang Zhiwei also took down the Buddha statue he saw before, and he was going to use the Buddha statue as a gift. He knew that the leader liked jade very much, especially the works of famous jade carvers in the Ming Dynasty.
Another Buddha statue made Chen Xiaopang earn back some losses, and his heart was finally balanced a lot, and he respectfully sent Zhao Tianming and them to the door.
After leaving, Wang Zhiwei asked: "Brother, there should be other merits in this jade, right?"
Otherwise, he felt that Zhao Tianming would not let him take it, and his ability to observe words and emotions was something that few people could compare. Earlier, when he saw Zhao Tianming giving him a look, he understood that it should be a treasure.
"Let's talk about it in the car!" Zhao Tianming said with a smile.
"Okay!" the two quickened their pace and walked towards the parking place.
After getting into the car, Zhao Tianming came one by one.
"This jade itself is white jade, the jade quality can only be regarded as medium, and the carving is quasi-first-class. You really take advantage of this, and you can earn tens of thousands of yuan if you change hands. However, that doesn't count this treasure. As he spoke, Zhao Tianming took down the jade plaque.
Wang Zhiwei took a serious look at the jade plaque that was three fingers wide, and the carving on the surface seemed to be quite complicated.
"Where did it come from?" he asked.
"First of all, this is a piece of mutton fat jade, which is considered a top-grade white jade. Zhao Tianming said.
Sheep fat jade is a gem-grade material in Hetian jade, which is the best pure color white in white jade, with the best luster and texture, and is manifested as: warm and dense, transparent and pure, white and flawless, like clotted fat, hence the name.
It has been highly valued since ancient times, and it is the best in jade and very precious. It not only symbolizes the gentlemanly character of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity", but also symbolizes the secular emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility". In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to wear high-quality white jade.
"I know, is it seed or mountain?"
Zhao Tianming was a little surprised, this guy actually knew that mutton fat jade was divided into seed material and mountain material.
The so-called "Ziyu" is fished from the lower Jade River in the Kunlun Mountains. This kind of "Ziyu" is fine, warm, and shiny like fat. Some "Ziyu" contains "rice infiltration" in the skin, which is one of the texture characteristics of aquatic white jade, and some have various colored skins due to long-term soaking in water and sand.
Mountain material, pure white as fat less. According to relevant materials, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade gradually became the main jade material, all of which were collected sub-materials. After the Qing Dynasty, mountain materials slowly became popular.
"It's the seed, just look at the yellow skin. Zhao Tianming replied.
Nowadays, most of the people who claim to be mutton fat jade are actually high-white mountain jade or sub-jade. For example, the so-called "mutton fat jade" often seen on the market, such as without skin, most of them are high white mountain materials.
Zhao Tianming has read the relevant information and knows that the method of distinguishing mutton fat jade from ordinary white jade is very simple, and it is easy to identify it when viewed under the fluorescent lamp.
The mutton fat white jade is facing the fluorescent lamp, showing a pure white translucent shape, and with a pink haze feeling. The general white jade, although it is also translucent to the fluorescent lamp, has no sense of pink mist.
"What's more, it's actually a Ming Dynasty carving, and it's from the hands of a jade carving master. Zhao Tianming said.
The jade plaque in front of you is very famous in history, and until now, collectors still regard it as a treasure.
"That jade carving master's handwriting?" Wang Zhiwei was overjoyed.
