Chapter 68: See the Move
"The next thing to be auctioned is a special item, which has never been seen by many old birds in the antique world, and we just received this item, we don't believe that there is still this thing in this world." Auctioneer Wang Ling smiled mysteriously, looked at the people in the stand, glanced at Xu Fan again, and then motioned to the cheongsam beauty to present the auction items. The cheongsam beauty smiled, walked in style, and came to the front of the stage to stand, holding a tray in her hand, the plate was covered with red silk, and she didn't know what was inside.
The cheongsam beauty stood quietly, without movement or speaking. After everyone in the audience admired her beautiful face and figure a little, they finally couldn't help but make a noise and asked Wang Ling to uncover the red silk.
"Hehe, since everyone's voice is very high, then I'll uncover it." Wang Ling smiled, as if he was very satisfied with the curiosity of everyone in the audience, walked to the cheongsam beauty, and slowly lifted the red silk.
I have to say that Wang Ling sold Guan Zi very successfully, and everyone's eyes were focused on the tray, holding their breath, waiting for the red silk to disappear. Even Shan Guotao watched intently, for him, the charm of novelty and antiques was still irresistible.
"Look!" Wang Ling snorted lightly and lifted the red silk, and everyone's eyes glared at the boss with his soft drink, and looked at the thing deadly.
At the moment when the red silk was lifted, everyone's eyes changed drastically, first from curiosity to shock, then from shock to doubt, and then from doubt to disappointment, but everyone's eyes changed three times in just a moment.
"Mr. Wang, are you mistaken? Got the wrong thing? A boss-like figure looked at the items on the tray and said loudly, questioning Wang Ling.
"Nope! I'm not mistaken. Wang Ling glanced at the object, and then said firmly.
"What? The special thing you're talking about is this broken wood? Hearing Wang Ling's reply, the man suddenly became furious, "We spent money to participate in this auction just to do our part for charity." But you're fooling me with such a? Are you all blind and idiots? ”
"Yes! You don't want this thing to be an antique, do you? ”
"Isn't it just a broken piece of wood? It's all rotten, and in my opinion, my sons are better carved than this! ”
"Mr. Auctioneer, if you don't give us an explanation, don't blame me for quitting."
The boss's words aroused the echo of everyone, and some of them were grumpy and even said some ugly things.
"Huh! Listen to me. Wang Ling was a little anxious, he had been an auctioneer for so many years, but it was the first time he had seen such a situation. He glanced at the object, and was about to explain.
"Mr. Wang!" Just when Wang Ling was about to say something, Chen Shaohua interrupted him again, "Didn't we talk about it, about the origin and story of antiques." Is it all Xu Fan? ”
"This ...... All right! Wang Ling hesitated a little, thought about it for a while, but nodded and agreed: Even if Xu Fan guessed wrong, wouldn't it be to help him share the pressure and withstand everyone's doubts?
"Haha! Good! Xu Fan was happy, looked at Chen Shaohua, and said with a sigh, "No wonder some people say that they know you best." Not your friends, but your enemies! Chen Shao really understands my mind very well, what I think, you can know it all, thank you Chen Shao for giving me the opportunity to play. Sometimes I even think about it. Could Chen Shao's last life be the roundworm in my stomach? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Xu Fan, don't try to divert everyone's attention! Let's talk about the origin of this thing, don't make everyone wait. Chen Shaohua snorted coldly. didn't move, just urged Xu Fan.
"That's it, that is, if you know something, say it quickly, and if you don't know, get out of it quickly, and let the auctioneer or Master Shan say it." As soon as he stood in the position of everyone, Chen Shaohua immediately won a lot of support, and his words immediately waited for the support of many people, who asked Xu Fan to announce it quickly, but in his words, he was quite distrustful of Xu Fan.
"Humph! As you can see, this thing is a carving, but it is not a wood carving, but the simplest carving, and its material is just ordinary wood. Xu Fan snorted lightly, looked at the items on the tray and said.
It turns out that the cheongsam beauty is just a piece of wood, judging from the shape, this wood is carved with a woman's face, but the specific face is not clear, maybe it has gone through too long of time, maybe it is not properly preserved, this wood is mottled, and even some places have begun to rot, there is no antique should look like it should be, it seems that the things on the roadside stalls are more valuable than this thing.
"Assistant Xu, we have eyes, we can see these superficial things ourselves, so we won't have to worry about you. Just tell us what we don't know. Chen Shaohua lifted his glasses and said with a sneer, "Or do you not know the origin of this thing?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this wood has a light and quiet texture, a warm and soft texture, and it should be made of nanmu, which has gone through 400 years so far." Xu Fan glanced at the wood, looked at Shan Guotao and said softly, "Master Shan, what do you think?" ”
"Well, that's right, Xu Fan, you are really good, you can see its material and year at a glance, it's really good." Shan Guotao nodded with a smile and looked at Xu Fan with a little appreciation.
"Cut! It's just a matter of luck. Have the ability to tell where he came from. Chen Shaohua pursed his lips disdainfully, this thing was originally his collection, and he originally planned to present a treasure to Zhou Mengyao at the auction, but he had no choice but to kill Xu Fan, so he had to endure the pain and use it against him. However, its concealment made Chen Shaohua have high hopes for it, but he didn't expect it to be said by Xu Fan about the texture and year, so that even if Xu Fan couldn't say more, his purpose could not be achieved.
"If I'm not mistaken, this item should be from Zhu Xiao in the Ming Dynasty." Xu Fan glanced at Chen Shaohua lightly, as if he was smiling.
"Zhu Xiao? Isn't this some famous carpenter emperor? ”
"Hey! How do you know? Why do you say that? ”
"Are you telling the truth? Is it really something from Zhu Xiao? ”
As soon as Xu Fan's words came out, it immediately aroused a strong reaction from everyone, if this thing is really owned by the former emperor Zhu Xiao, then its value is self-evident.
"Some people don't talk about it! Could it be that any piece of wood is the carpenter emperor's belongings? Chen Shaohua's face changed, but he still didn't give up, and tried his best to make Xu Fan ugly.
"Zhu Xiao is left-handed, and we can clearly see from the notch of this thing, the lines on the left are far softer and more delicate than those on the right, and in addition, and most importantly, Zhu Xiao will have his mark on each of his works, and his mark is this mark that looks like a scratch." Xu Fan picked up the wood and gestured, and finally pointed to a thin scratch and said confidently.
"Good!" Just when everyone was still thinking, Shan Guotao applauded loudly with a look of surprise, but the object of his applause was not the auction item, but Xu Fan himself, "Brother Xu is really knowledgeable!" I appreciate you! (To be continued.) )
