Chapter 793: Crane Top Red
PS: In the last less than 30 hours, ask for monthly ticket support, don't keep it, please give me the ticket.
"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet."
At this time, Gao Dequan smiled and said: "It was this Ai Xuan's character that made his heart ache for a long time. One of his brothers-in-law didn't know the preciousness of the tea set at all, and inadvertently broke a cup, which naturally made him bitter and unspeakable, and from now on he never dared to take the tea set indiscriminately to entertain guests......"
This matter can be regarded as an interesting anecdote in the collecting world, but Gao Dequan is also kind, and he did not name the person, just to make everyone happy, there is no need to delve into it.
Of course, as the main object of comparison, Yu Feibai was definitely not happy, and pouted: "Uncle De, what is a character who loves to show off like me." It's better for me to be alone than to be happy, and I naturally want everyone to share good things......"
"One meaning, it's all show-off anyway." Wang Guan chuckled, and before Yu Feibai refuted, he directly changed the topic: "Uncle De, when do you plan to go to the capital?" ”
"Tomorrow." Gao Dequan smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qian Lao for a long time, and I plan to live there for a few days...... As for you, it's time to go back to the capital, why don't you go together. ”
"I don't care, the key is Wang Guan." Yu Feibai said casually: "He seems to have something to do." ”
"Huh?"
Gao Dequan was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Little things." Wang Guan smiled: "I promised Feng Lao...... It is Feng Lao who gave me the fragments of Mao porcelain, and if the porcelain is burned, I will send him some over. ”
"It should." Gao Dequan immediately nodded in approval and said: "If it weren't for that Feng Lao, it is estimated that there would be no porcelain from us, so I really have to thank others." ”
"Well, so I'm going to send it over in person, and I guess it will take a day or two." Wang Guan explained, and then said with a smile: "But you can't let Qian Lao wait in a hurry, you can send the things over first." ”
"Okay." Gao Dequan nodded slightly.
"What about you?"
At the right time, Wang Guan asked, "Is it to go to Shuchuan with me." Or go to the capital with Uncle De. ”
"Of course it's going back to the capital." Yu Feibai did not hesitate, and said with some expectation: "I also want to hear what Mr. Qian Lao said about Mr. Zhu Da's early works." ”
After all, the process of evaluation is an opportunity to learn, and Yu Feibai will definitely not miss it.
"It's up to you." Wang Guan didn't care, anyway, after sending the things, he flew directly to the capital, and then asked Qian Lao for advice.
The next day, everyone arrived at the airport together, but the flights were different. Wang Guan's flight was relatively early, so he boarded the plane under the escort of everyone. Soon after, we arrived at Shudu Airport smoothly.
However, Feng Lao's home is not in Shudu, but in Meishan. Therefore, Wang Guan had to change trains, and after some twists and turns, he could be regarded as coming to his destination. Of course, the so-called destination only refers to the city, not Feng Lao's home.
Speaking of which, more than half a year has passed, even if Wang Guan's memory is good, he only remembers the general direction of Feng's hometown. As for the specific location, he was also a little confused.
However, after some searching, Wang Guan finally found a place, and then went up briskly to ring the doorbell.
"Who?"
Soon after. A nanny walked out and saw Wang Guan through the iron fence, feeling very unfamiliar, so she was alert and did not open the door. Just the fence asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Old Feng at home?" Wang Guan asked with a smile, he didn't call beforehand, he just planned to surprise Feng Lao.
"Feng Lao is not at home."
The nanny frowned slightly. However, he still explained clearly: "He has something to do and will not come back until the evening." ”
"Ugh!"
In an instant, Wang Guan really had the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, if he said hello in advance, it was estimated that Feng Lao would be waiting for him at home. Now that the person is gone, he is also a little dumbfounded.
"It's really bad luck." Wang Guan blinked, and simply asked, "May I ask where Elder Feng has gone, can you make a call and ask him to come back?" ”
The nanny didn't casually reveal Feng Lao's whereabouts, but just asked, "What is your urgent business?" What to do with Feng Lao? ”
"I'm here to visit Elder Feng."
Understanding the nanny's concerns, Wang Guan smiled directly: "Do you remember me?" ...... I was here last year"
"Last year?" The nanny was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Guan carefully, and was vaguely impressed. After half a ring, I suddenly remembered and said with some surprise: "By the way, it's you...... The person who helped Feng Lao recover the drawing. ”
"It's me, yes."
Wang nodded and admitted, and also completely dispelled the nanny's doubts.
"Come on in."
At the right time, the nanny opened the door and explained: "There is a snuff bottle exhibition in the city, Feng Lao went to visit it early in the morning, and he didn't come back for dinner at noon. You come in and sit down, and I'll call him back. ”
"Snuff Bottle Exhibition ......"
Wang Guan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and it was no wonder that Feng Lao was not at home. After all, for Feng Lao, snuff bottles are his hobby, and he will definitely not miss such an exhibition.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan stopped the nanny from making a phone call, and at the same time inquired about the location of the exhibition, and then went directly to that place.
The snuff bottle fair is located on the first floor of a spacious commercial building in the heart of the city, and there are no restrictions on anyone who can enter. After Wang Guan walked in, he glanced at the introduction hanging on the wall, and realized that this exhibition was jointly organized by the craftsmen of the snuff bottle school in a certain province, aiming to publicize and expand the influence of the school.
There are many exhibits at the venue, at least tens of thousands of snuff bottles. Needless to say, there are gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, tooth horns, bamboo, wood, porcelain, glass, crystal, etc., everything. As for the shape, it is ever-changing, there are round, square, and there is no lack of angular ones, which are diverse, which makes people dazzled.
Speaking of which, being able to display in a display case for people to visit shows that these snuff bottles must have a certain level. The composition on each snuff bottle is also different, with figures, landscapes, poems, flowers and birds, etc., which can be described as square inches and thousands of weather.
All in all, for the average person, these snuff bottles can be called meticulously made, very beautiful works of art, and they are also amazed during their visit.
However, for those who have a bit of appreciation, although there are a lot of snuff bottles here, it is estimated that there are not many things that really have weight and can be called high-quality products.
Wang Guan took a cursory look and roughly distinguished that the snuff bottles here can be divided into several grades.
One is the work of general craftsmen, the shape is relatively neat, that is, a little dull. The drawing is clear, but it is full of craftsmanship and has no characteristics of its own. Such works occupy an overwhelming majority of the exhibits.
The second is the work of profound skills and experienced craftsmen, the shape of this kind of snuff bottle is more vivid, especially in the details in place, and the lines are very smooth. The drawing is very vivid and charming.
Of course, the last category is definitely the master's work. Although the shape is still the same shape, it feels different from the works of ordinary craftsmen.
What is the difference, ordinary people will definitely not be able to say, but the difference is very obvious.
It's also an ornamental snuff bottle, watching general works, but I just think it's good. However, when I look at the master's work, I feel very good in my heart, and I have a feeling of pleasing to the eye. This is mainly due to the fact that the works of the masters are often full of so-called artistic appeal, which naturally gives people a completely different feeling.
However, there are certainly not many works by the masters, and it would be good to have one percent. And you don't need Wang Guan to look for it, as long as you walk directly to the center of the exhibition hall, you can see those masterpieces.
At the same time, Wang Guan saw Feng Lao's figure. At this time, he was next to a glass counter, intently admiring a snuffbox made by a master. There was no distraction, so naturally he didn't notice Wang Guan's arrival.
"As expected......"
Wang Guan smiled and walked over lightly. deliberately didn't remind him, just stood next to Feng Lao, and also took the opportunity to look at the snuffbox in the cabinet. I saw that the body of the pot was light yellow, but the lid and sides of the body were slightly reddish. It looks a little ordinary, but the whole body is warm and luster, which looks very delicate and beautiful.
However, compared to other snuff bottles with patterns, this snuff box is very simple, smooth throughout, but without any ornamentation. This situation is equivalent to the most primitive state of the snuff bottle, except for the shape, there is no slightest decoration, not only simple, but also a return to the original expression.
The shape and pattern of snuff bottles are diverse, due to the different aesthetics of individuals, some people like the cumbersome and lively magnificent patterns, some people like the elegant scenery of mountains and flowing water, some people prefer flowers and birds, and naturally some people love the original snuff bottles. It's simple, it's bland, it's not that complicated, how good.
Of course, a master is a master, and he is often able to turn decay into magic. It is such a very simple, without any decoration of the snuff bottle, but everyone can see a different charm. I don't deny it, or the material of the snuff bottle is good, anyway, the warm luster of the light yellow makes people feel very pleasing to the eye.
"Crane top red?" Feng Lao watched for a moment, then glanced at the label on the counter by the way, and suddenly said to himself: "Isn't the Heding Pill poison?" How can you make a snuff bottle? ”
"Crane top red is not poison, but the skull of an avian animal......"
"Oh." Feng Lao suddenly turned his head instinctively to take a look, and was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Wang Guan, why are you ......?"
"Old Feng, long time no see?" Wang Guan greeted with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Feng Lao asked happily: "Something to do in Shuchuan?" ”
"Something's true." Wang Guan chuckled and said, "But this matter is to visit you, Old Feng...... When I went to your house just now, I realized that you were here, so I rushed over. ”
"Visit me...... Why didn't you say it earlier. Feng Lao complained: "You should say hello in advance." (To be continued......)
