Everyone chatted about this place for a while, and then entered the topic, first an old man threw bricks and jade, and took out a carved product, which was a kingfisher, with a realistic expression.

"You're in luck! Find a piece of turquoise, but it's not of the best quality. Chen Lao said.

Turquoise is best made of sky-blue porcelain pine, like glazed porcelain. If there are irregular iron wires, their quality is poor. White turquoise is less valuable than blue and green. In the block, there are iron "black lines" called "iron line turquoise", and in foreign countries it is called "blue turquoise".

Yang Fan looked at it carefully, he saw turquoise for the first time, this is one of the ancient gemstones, with a splendid history of thousands of years, and is deeply loved by ancient and modern Chinese and foreign people. As early as ancient Egypt, ancient Mexico, and ancient Persia, turquoise was regarded as a mysterious and evil thing, and was used as a talisman and burial object.

I saw that the kingfisher had a trace of spider web-like lines on the surface, but it was skillfully carved into feathers by the carver, and the means were clever.

"The best should be the porcelain pine, which looks like a piece of sky blue porcelain, with the delicacy and luster of porcelain. Qi Lao said along the topic.

He has seen several pieces of that kind of superb turquoise, and he also has a collection at home, which is carved into a bottle.

"The quality of the gems is not very good, but the carving is superb. Hu Wei immediately got to the point.

The owner of the turquoise kingfisher, the old man smiled: "At that time, it was put together with ordinary handicrafts, and the people who went to look through it were some young people, twenty yuan a piece, and you could pick and choose." ”

Show off!

Twenty yuan was bought, and it was indeed a big leak. This piece of gem, plus the carving, more than 100,000 is not a dream. It is no wonder that everyone knows that there are less than one percent of the genuine products on the market, but so many people are still willing to take the risk of paying tuition.

Immediately afterwards, one treasure after another was revealed.

One of the fans attracts everyone's attention, it is an ancient women's fan, called the palace fan, also called the group fan, is a round fan with a handle, the fan blade is an embroidery, on it is a pair of winged birds.

In the evolution of fan culture, ancient women had an indissoluble love affair with fans. The fan is a woman's favorite love token, and the woman uses the fan poem to express the love of her children; the male painter likes to express the woman who holds the fan that reveals the beauty of the woman; the female painter is sensitive to the fan culture in her own characteristics, and in the Song Dynasty, which went through the peak of the fan painting, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the feelings of the prosperous folding fan fan painting, which seem to be so natural.

"Where did you find it? ”

This time, it was Qi Lao's turn to be secretly proud.

When he found this fan, there were two peers next to him, but he still picked it up, and this is the ability.

"The fan of the Song Dynasty should be a thing of the court. "Silk is the best silk, and the embroidery is also superb, definitely not from the hands of mortals.

Yang Fan took a look and knew that this kind of fan was actually very popular in the Tang Dynasty.

They are round or nearly round, the handle is not long, most of them were worn by women in the Tang Dynasty, and Chinese fans are generally painted with pictures of ladies on the fan surface.

It is commonly used in geisha performances in Japan, and in ancient Japan, it was used as a family emblem. The fan is an invention of China, also known as the fan, and then introduced to Japan. Tuan fan was introduced to Japan by the Tang Dynasty during the Nara period. In Japan, it was the nobility of the court who first used the fan. It was not until the end of the Heian period that it was allowed to be used by the common people.

Chinese fan culture has a profound cultural heritage and is an integral part of Han culture, which is closely related to bamboo culture, Buddhist culture, painting, poetry, embroidery, etc. China has always been known as the kingdom of fan making.

"Look at the handle first. Qi Lao reminded.

Others discovered that the handle of the fan is not simple, first of all, the material is a rare material, called tortoiseshell, which is a precious turtle shell.

It is also an organic gemstone, specifically the dorsal armor of the tortoiseshell, which is amorphous, slightly transparent to translucent, with waxy to greasy luster. Tortoiseshell can be used to make rings, bracelets, hairpins, combs, fans, and more.

In addition to the precious material, there is also the carving on it, a picture of spring flowers blooming, which is very exquisite.

"It turned out to be a tortoiseshell, this thing was used a lot in ancient times. Liang Mingjian said.

In the Tang Dynasty, the tortoiseshell was used to make coins - Kaiyuan Tongbao, unearthed in the underground Tibetan palace of the real body pagoda of the West Anfamen Temple, which is very valuable, and there are only 13 pieces in the world. As well as the tortoiseshell peach blossom fan left by Dong Xiaowan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, they are all very exquisite and rare treasures.

In addition, it is not only China that loves this gemstone, but other ancient civilizations are also very fond of it.

In the West, tortoiseshell was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to make jewelry such as combs, brushes, and rings, and the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans would inlay the tortoiseshell on furniture.

"This silk must have been soaked in some kind of spice. Fuck it, it's been thousands of years, and it's still scented. Hu Wei found something else magical.

"Let's see, what kind of spice is this. Qi Lao said to everyone.

It smells a bit like musk, but can the musk stay that long and last?

Everyone smelled it, had their own guesses, and expressed their opinions and opinions.

Yang Fan frowned: "It's not a matter of silk, it should be that tortoiseshell has been smoked or soaked." The original intention of the ancients, in addition to increasing the aroma around women, may also be to prevent moths. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then asked seriously, and found that the closer to the fan handle, the stronger the aroma. These people, except for Qi Lao, who knows Yang Fan better, are all shocked, this young man is too careful, right?

People are not wrong in their analysis, tortoiseshells are easy to moth, similar to human teeth. This fan handle has not changed at all for thousands of years now, indicating that the anti-moth measures are well done.

Therefore, Yang Fan's words just now were very reasonable and based, and everyone nodded when they heard it.

"Makes sense!" Qi Lao agreed first.

"Damn, you guy, you don't have a sharp eye, and your nose is as sensitive as a dog. Hu Wei was a little speechless, this guy is definitely his most powerful opponent.

After saying that, he also showed his gains. There was no action just now, it was nothing more than that I felt that the good show was behind, the heavyweights often arrived later, and the same goes for the treasures, and the finale needs to be placed in the back.

His Lingbi stone, a natural treasure, coupled with a treasure in the treasure, immediately aroused the admiration of a group of old men.

"It's so rare. ”

"Yes, it is a treasure in itself, plus the internalized jade, there is no such treasure in the world, but it is absolutely rare to be excavated. ”

Liang Mingjian didn't react much, he had seen it all, so he was not so surprised. When I saw the food on the table, but the wine was missing, I couldn't help but ask.

"You can't be without wine in such a place, right?"

All of them have black lines crawling all over their faces, what are you drinking today?

"We all have to keep our spirits up, let's do it another day!"

"If I don't drink, I'm not energetic. As soon as Liang Mingjian's words came out, everyone's scalps tightened.
