Chapter 23: The Treasures of Qianlong
The fog in the clouds negated the value of walnuts, but things immediately reversed. The little walnut may be a royal item of the Qing Dynasty, and it must be worth a lot of money, isn't this a slap in the face?
Although, for him, this million is no different from a hundred. The problem is that his face is much higher than a million. Now that he has been hit in the face, how can Yun Zhongwu not care and laugh at it.
When the fog in the clouds was cold and his eyes flickered, Wei Ye suddenly raised his head and asked, "Xiao Qi, how did you get this pair of walnuts?" ”
Qi Xiang is an expert, so he naturally understands that identifying a thing is actually very consistent with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Looking, pointing to the complexion; Smell, means to listen to the sound; Ask, which refers to asking about symptoms; Cut, refers to touching the pulse.
These four tips of traditional Chinese medicine are simply appropriate when applied to the identification of antiques. Look at the shape and condition of things. Smell, smell the breath, check the texture. Ask, find out the origin and inheritance of things. Cut, that is, to break the generation, to distinguish the true from the false.
Now that Wei Ye asked, Qi Xiang had to answer.
Qi Xiang groaned, then smiled easily: "Master Wei, in fact, you have also seen this pair of walnuts." ”
"I've seen it?" Wei Ye was stunned, a little confused: "When have I seen it?" ”
"Master Wei, you forgot." Qi Xiang reminded: "The day before yesterday, when I went to the stall, you instructed me to grab a box." I didn't expect that the box was the stall owner's bait, and I didn't eat it, but I was pit and grabbed a pair of walnuts......"
"Huh?" Wei Ye was shocked in his heart, and exclaimed: "But that pair of walnuts is obviously very bad." ”
"It sucks." Qi Xiang nodded, and then smiled brightly: "But after I went home, I accidentally played with walnuts, but found that the amount of walnuts was not right." The surface is obviously dry and cracked, but the hand is not light. ”
"I didn't think it was right, and with a bit of anger, I simply pried the walnut shell open."
In an instant, Qi Xiang smiled and picked up the treasure: "As soon as I pry it open, I know it's going to be sent." It turned out that in the rotten peach shell, there was a delicate jade treasure wrapped in wax paper. ”
“…… You're telling a story, right? When Wei Ye heard this, he immediately had such suspicions.
"Master Wei, whoever I pit can't pit you." Qi Xiang said aggrievedly: "Actually, you only need to smell it to know, although I have cleaned it several times, the wax smell on the walnuts has not completely dissipated." ”
Wei Ye was silent, he didn't believe it, but ...... It's melancholy.
If things are really as Qi Xiang said, doesn't that mean that he has gone away? This kind of feeling of passing by the baby will definitely not be pleasant, and it is not a taste in my heart......
However, Wei Ye is also a professional, and he has not experienced any leaks and eye-catching for decades, so he quickly stabilized his mood and nodded: "I said why is it so strong wax, but it doesn't look like oil." ”
"Master Wei, you also have to be sure, the pulp of walnuts is as warm as jade, and it is definitely not dyed and oiled." Qi Xiang hurriedly argued, this kind of thing can't be joked.
Dyeing and oiling, in jargon, is called "doing", doing the "doing" of the hands and feet. If you do something, it means that something is wrong. Now at such a critical moment, Qi Xiang doesn't want to bear such a charge.
"I know." Wei Ye pondered for a moment and confirmed: "The thing is old, and the style of inscription is also the number of roads used by the master craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty. It is preliminarily certain that this pair of things should be from the palace and belong to the royal family. ”
"Sure enough......"
The situation has completely reversed, and many people have looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Wei Ye's words suddenly turned again, and he hesitated: "It's not ......."
"But what?" Others are in good spirits, is there any variable?
"But this pair of walnuts seems to be as simple as not just a palace artifact." Wei Ye's tone seemed uncertain, but there was a bit of tendency, and he muttered: "There is a poem engraved on the walnut, judging from the handwriting of the poem, it is also seven or eight points similar to the ink treasure left by Emperor Qianlong. ”
"What do you mean?" Others were taken aback, and there was a vague guess.
Wei Ye was silent for a moment, and then slowly worded: "The poem is Qianlong's poem, and the word is Qianlong'......
"Huh?"
The others immediately understood, and the whole room was shocked.
Originally, it was probably a royal thing, which was surprising enough. However, Wei Ye said that things are not only royal objects, but also more likely to be Qianlong's relics, which naturally greatly surprised everyone, and was a little unbelievable.
"Of course, that's just my personal opinion."
Wei Ye hurriedly added: "After all, Qianlong has a history of three hundred years. I'm not sure if walnuts will last for 300 years. ”
"But I can also guarantee that even if the thing is not a Qianlong royal item, it must be a treasure of the Qing Dynasty court."
Wei Ye said categorically: "The condition is perfect, and it has been handed down intact until now, which can be regarded as a rare treasure." ”
Wei Ye's comments are very fair and convincing to many people. In fact, regardless of whether the walnut is a Qianlong relic or not, just the three words of the palace are enough to double its value.
This may be the effect of branding, as we all know, many famous international brands are processed and produced in China, and then sold on an OEM basis. It's just a brand, but it makes things worth a hundred times.
On the one hand, there are international famous brands, and on the other hand, there are domestic things, even if the quality of the two things is completely the same, there is no difference. But in many cases, some people prefer expensive international brands to disdain inexpensive domestic brands.
This is the value of the brand and the cohesion of the brand culture.
Walnuts are the same, as soon as they are labeled as palace treasures, then Qi Xiang asks for a million, but everyone also thinks that this price is not outrageous.
If Wei Ye's "personal opinion" comes true, the thing is really a Qianlong legacy, and the asking price of one million is even more kind.
While everyone was pondering, Chen Bixue suddenly said, "You, come with me......"
"Huh?" Qi Xiang was stunned, but saw Chen Bixue turn around and walk outside.
"Why are you stunned, follow along." Wei Ye kindly reminded.
"Oh......" Qi Xiang suddenly followed him.
The two left the study one after the other, leaving behind a thoughtful crowd.
At this moment, Chen Futu, who had been silent, suddenly said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The hour is almost up, and I have to bother everyone to go out with me and entertain those guests who come from afar." ”
Under the greeting of Chen Futu, everyone was naturally kind, talking and laughing, harmonious, and went to the courtyard where the guests gathered. Everything was clear, as if nothing had happened.
Even if there is any discord, try to maintain a superficial harmony and a smile......
At the same time, under the guidance of Chen Bixue, Qi Xiang went deep into the interior of the villa and came to a small building standing on the top of the mountain. The small building with bamboo and wood structure has no excessive decoration, and it looks very simple and unpretentious.
The interior layout of the building is very elegant.
Qi Xiang went in to take a look, and saw that the hall was lined up with simple tables, chairs and benches, and there was nothing else. For example, home appliances such as TVs, computers, and refrigerators are nowhere to be found.
There are not even electric lights, which is simply going on retro to the end.
Qi Xiang was amazed, and then followed Chen Bixue through the hall and up the stairs to the second floor.
In an instant, the eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw the entire second floor, which was completely opened, without any interval. One floor is a space. Or rather, a room.
Qi Xiang glanced around and estimated that this room was at least more than a hundred square meters. The space is spacious, but the arrangement in it opened his eyes and surprised him.
The first is the floor, but in the square floor, there is a huge black and white Tai Chi yin and yang pattern. In the center of the yin and yang pattern, a shelf is placed.
Qi Xiang's eyes are sharp, and he can see it clearly, and what is resting on the shelf seems to be a weapon-sword!
The long sword with a sheath, the spike belt hangs down, and the sword body is straight and slender, even if it is not unsheathed, and the sharp edge cannot be seen, it gives people a feeling that the sword is hidden in the sheath.
With Chen Beixue's family background, collecting a sword doesn't seem to be a big deal.
But Qi Xiang took a closer look, but found that under the shelf, there was a copper furnace. In the copper furnace, the three incense sticks are burning, and the wisps of green smoke are rising, floating like flocculents.
"What's the situation, this is?" Qi Xiang was also stunned at first glance.
Chen Beixue didn't mean to explain, bypassed the shelf long sword, and came to the end of the space. There are several small bookshelves lined up here, and a handful of books are piled up on the shelves, exuding the smell of books.
When she came here, Chen Beixue didn't care about her image, she sat down directly, and began to search slowly on the bookshelf, as if she was looking for something.
Qi Xiang was a little curious, and also followed. With a sweep of his gaze, he froze.
It is not uncommon to see many books on the shelves, at least in the tens of thousands. After all, compared to the study just now, this point is not enough to see. The problem is that the names of these books are quite odd.
Tao Te Ching, Nanhua Sutra, Huang Ting Sutra, Duren Sutra......
Similar to such Taoist classics, Qi Xiang still feels normal after reading it. After all, seeing Chen Bixue wearing a Taoist robe and holding the dust, you know that he advocates Taoism, so it is natural to collect Taoist scriptures.
However, Zhou Yi participated in the same deed, Wuzhen chapter, Zhong Lu preaching collection, Jindan Dacheng collection, Yun Ji Seven Signs, and life Gui ......
What's the deal with these books that seem to be very powerful?
Qi Xiang is not a lonely person, and he vaguely knows that these should be the secrets of Taoist cultivation. It can also be said to be in the same vein as the Taoist classics, so it is appropriate to put it on the bookshelf.
The question is, what the hell is the mystery of the endangered extinction of the Heavenly Treasures due to the collapse of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and the disappearance of the emperor's flowing pulp?
Also, the analysis of the difference between the cultivation steps of Jindan and the development of modern industry is different...... What is this?
