"What do you mean......
At this time, Hao Baoquan has some understanding, as a successful businessman, he is definitely not stupid, on the contrary, he is also very smart, from Gao Dequan and Wang Guan's words, he also experienced a different meaning.
At this time, Wang Guan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we go out." ”
As long as he walks out of the collection library, then Hao Baolai regrets it, and it is estimated that he will not be able to change his face.
While speaking, Wang Guan greeted Baye Ye and walked out of the room briskly. Hao Baolai blinked, and suddenly subconsciously stretched out his hand, but finally did not open his mouth to stop it.
Although I instinctively feel that Gu Yu's wrench is not simple, the appearance of the wrench is really not good. The reason why he collected that thing in the first place was like a head, and then he didn't have the heart to deal with it, so he threw it on the counter.
"Big deal, it's nothing more than something used by some celebrity." Hao Baolai secretly thought about it, and felt that such a bad appearance, even if it was something used by Emperor Qianlong, he was not very rare.
Thinking of this, Hao Baolai naturally no longer stopped Wang Guan from leaving.
"Bora, don't feel distressed later."
At the same time, Gao Dequan smiled and patted Hao Baolai on the shoulder, and followed quickly, he was also anxious to know what the mystery of that ancient jade wrench was.
"Isn't it really a treasure?" Hao Baolai muttered to himself, locked the door of the collection library tightly, and hurried to the living room.
At this time, Gao Dequan was holding the ancient jade wrench to watch, and then slowly commented: "Slope ladder, there is no doubt that this is an object of the Ming Dynasty, or before the Ming Dynasty." ”
"The color is yellowish, it should be muddy. The color covers almost the entire inside and outside of the finger surface, and the appearance is not very good. It not only conceals the true color of jade, but also seriously affects its value. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Dequan's face was a little different: "Wang Guan." It's not that good. Let's talk about it, what's the mystery of things? ”
"A wrench is a wrench, what's the mystery." Wang Guan smiled: "The only mystery is that this thing is jade." ”
"Liar the ghost, Mr. Qian has said, you are a character who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle. When you enter the treasure house, you can't just pick up an ordinary thing. Of course, Gao Dequan didn't believe it, and said dissatisfiedly: "What, even I have to hide it?" ”
"No, didn't I say that. The mystery is jade. Wang Guan smiled and reminded: "Uncle De, what kind of jade do you think the texture of this wrench finger is?" ”
"Jasper?" Gao Dequan frowned and looked at it, only to see that the wrench was slightly yellow and a little black, so he guessed that it was jasper that was not very good, and after years of burial, it revealed a slight yellow clay.
"Click."
At this moment, Wang Guan took out a small and delicate flashlight, turned on the switch easily, and handed it to Gao Dequan. Then he smiled: "According to it, it should be clear." ”
"It's also ......"
Gao Dequan took the flashlight and shone it directly into the eyelet of the wrench. For a moment, under the searchlight of the bright light. The ancient jade wrench fingers became transparent, and then a beautiful bright yellow luster radiated to the surroundings.
"Huh!"
Seeing this situation, not only Gao Dequan, but even Hao Baolai, who was sitting next to him, was very surprised.
"Topaz!"
Gao Dequan's reaction was quick. Some surprises intersected: "It's actually topaz." ”
"Huang Longyu?" Hao Baolai was stunned for a moment.
"Don't insult it with that yellow wax stone." Gao Dequan waved his hand, and studied the wrench repeatedly with the help of the strong light, and only after a long time did he speak: "This is the real topaz. It's not the kind of yellow material, or the color material, and it's not yellow wax stone. ”
"What's the difference?" Hao Baolai was very confused.
"It's a big difference." Gao Dequan explained: "There is no need to say more about yellow wax stone, if you change the name of the good quality, you can make a lot of noise in the market." But in the eyes of connoisseurs, those things are jokes. ”
"As for the yellow material, it is a good thing, which usually refers to the Hetian jade mountain material and the yellow material, which belongs to the Hetian jade series. The color is bluish yellow in yellow, and the luster is soft, very close to topaz. But it's just close, and there's a big difference in quality. ”
Gao Dequan talked eloquently: "As for the Qin pigment to be better understood, it refers to the yellow color of the sugar skin of the jade, in fact, the inside of the jade may be sandwich white, or other colors, there is no yellow flesh at all, and it cannot be called topaz." ”
"But this one is different......
Gao Dequan gestured: "You see, the color is from the inside to the outside, all transparent yellow, and very clear." It shows that this thing is a whole piece of topaz, which has been hollowed out and carved into a wrench. ”
"Oh."
Hao Baolai nodded ignorantly, not necessarily really understood, at least pretending to understand.
"Forget it, I can't tell you clearly, go back and read the book yourself."
Gao Dequan said helplessly: "Anyway, you just need to know that topaz is very precious, and don't talk about it now, even in ancient times, there wasn't much topaz." Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the essence of Tian Huangshi was actually a relatively rare stone, but it was pushed to the status of the emperor of the stone. ”
"From this, you can also imagine how valuable the topaz is, if it is a topaz seed material that reaches the quality of chanterelle yellow, even if it is only the size of a thumb, it is estimated to be more than 10 million."
Gao Dequan said very seriously, without any jokes, which naturally made Hao Baolai speechless. But he still didn't care, after all, even if the wrench was topaz, the quality was not very good, and the value was definitely not high.
"It's normal for things to be scarce...... Hey! ”
While speaking, Gao Dequan suddenly sighed in surprise, and his fingers carefully rubbed in the wrench eyelet, as if he had discovered something special.
"What's wrong?" Hao Baolai hurriedly asked.
"It's weird." Gao Dequan frowned, put down the flashlight, and seriously fiddled with the ancient jade wrench, the more he fiddled with the expression on his face, the more strange it became, which also made Hao Baolai more curious.
"Ade, Brother De, Senior Brother ......"
After a while, Hao Baolai couldn't bear it anymore, changed his name a few times in a row, and asked urgingly: "Don't pinch it, what's strange, tell us quickly." ”
"I'm wondering, there seem to be words carved into the eyelets." Gao Dequan groaned: "It's a pity that it's covered by mottled traces, and I can't see it clearly." ”
"Where?"
Hao Baolai was very curious, and then under Gao Dequan's guidance, he also stretched out a finger and groped in the wrench for a moment, and sure enough, he found traces of engraving.
"It's really ......" After looking at it for a long time, Hao Baolai shook his head and said, "But it's too vague to see anything clearly." ”
"If you can't see clearly, forget it."
At this time, Gao Dequan smiled and said: "Anyway, the topaz wrench finger is also a very precious thing, and the whole body exudes an ancient aura, which is more than enough to offset the tortoiseshell scales." ”
"Precious, clumsy?" Hao Baolai was suspicious: "Why can't I see it? ”
"That's because you don't know how to appreciate." Gao Dequan said indifferently: "It's really a pearl in your collection, and now that it's in the hands of Wang Guan, it complements each other, and it's finally the light of day." ”
"Yes."
Hao Baolai was naturally not convinced, but he didn't say anything, after all, in his feelings, he still earned it himself.
"It's not too early, I've picked something, I've visited your collection again, and it's time to go back and rest." At this moment, Gao Dequan got up and said with a smile: "I'll have tea with you tomorrow, and then I should return to the porcelain capital." ”
"So anxious to go back?" Hao Baolai said casually: "Stay a few more days." ”
"There is no way to ...... mundane things"
While speaking, under the gift of Hao Baolai, the three of them left the villa and returned to the hotel where they stayed soon after.
"Uncle De, thank you."
Walking into the room, the first thing Wang Guan did was to thank Gao Dequan, but it made Baye next to him feel a little inexplicable.
"Thank me for what to do, you have good eyesight, and you should pick up leaks." Gao Dequan smiled bitterly: "Besides, it's better not to let him know about this kind of thing, so as not to become his heart disease." ”
Wang Guan hesitated and said, "Uncle Hao's heart is relaxed, so it won't be like this." ”
"As for, absolutely." Gao Dequan sighed and said: "Don't talk about him, if it were me, I would probably regret it for the rest of my life." This is a legendary thing, and if I had known that such a treasure had walked right under my nose, I would have even thought of hitting the wall. ”
Wang Guan smiled and asked deliberately, "Uncle De, are you sure?" ”
"You've seen it and asked me what to do." Gao Dequan was calm, and sighed again: "Originally, it was just a suspicion, but there are even famous models, so most of them are true." ”
"I didn't expect the legend to be true." Wang Guan said with a reserved smile: "And I always thought that if the legend was true, then the material of the wrench should be mutton fat white jade, but I didn't expect it to be topaz." ”
"Actually, this is also normal......," Gao Dequan smiled, "After all, something as precious as topaz was probably only available to emperors in ancient times." ”
At the same time, the more Baye listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?" ”
"I'm talking about this jade wrench." Wang Guan smiled and explained softly: "This wrench seems to be the work of a very powerful jade master in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Not a master, but a grandmaster." Gao Dequan corrected: "A character at the level of the ancestor master." ”
If there is a colleague next to him, he must understand what the two are saying, but Baye doesn't know much, so he is still curious and puzzled: "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Lu Zigang!"
In an instant, Wang Guan and Gao Dequan said the name in unison, and their faces unconsciously showed admiration.
In fact, it is also, who else can be called the Grandmaster of Zhuoyu, except for Lu Zigang?
You must know that the history of jade carving in China can be traced back to ancient times, not to mention 5,000 years. In these long years, it is impossible to produce only one Jade Masters. However, the current jade carver is happy and sincere to worship Lu Zigang as his ancestor, and there are naturally many reasons for this.
The otherworldly jade cutting technology, that must be the most fundamental reason, but the most important thing is that everyone admires him for daring to risk the world's disapproval, and is the first to engrave his name on the jade, leaving the name of Zigang...... (To be continued.) )
