Chapter 382: Family Origins
The person who hid that section of ebony was surnamed Wang, called Wang Luoshan, and he was also a well-known collector in the Zhongtian City collection circle, mainly collecting Chinese paintings and wood products: including Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, wood carvings and the like.
Gu Shi had heard of Wang Luoshan, but he didn't know him, this time he was looking for wood, and he was also introduced by a friend, but Gu Shi is now a little famous in the Zhongtian collection world, and Wang Luoshan has also heard of him, so the two were introduced by a friend, and the conversation went quite smoothly.
The two sides made an appointment, and Gu Shi took Xu Tao to the door to see the wood. Wang Luoshan's house is a villa, not far from the place where Yang Lao Er was killed, but it is not a community. It seems that the security of the community where the Wang family is located is stricter than that of Sun Biao. Xu Tao and his party drove three cars, and the security guard not only stopped them to check, but also called in to verify with Wang Luoshan, and finally asked Gu Shi to register before letting them go.
Wang Luoshan didn't seem to have brought so many people to see the stone without Gu Shi, but with Gu Shi's friend, Wang Luoshan didn't say anything. Gu Shi's friend introduced the two parties, of course, mainly Xu Tao, because he heard that this young man was the buyer. When Wang Luoshan heard this, he invited them in.
Wang Luoshan is worthy of collecting furniture, and this villa is antique. There are no sofas in the hall, all mahogany furniture. The seats used for hospitality are all yellow huā pear. There is a vertical scroll hanging on one wall, and a confession is placed underneath, and there is a carved huā on the side, but the overall style is still simple, and the black and swarthy ones are not very eye-catching.
Xu Tao noticed the confession as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Good thing!" ”
Wang Luoshan glanced at Xu Tao and asked, "Mr. Xu also likes old furniture?" ”
"That's not it" Xu Tao shook his head: "I don't know much about old furniture, but I feel good when I look at this thing, it should be a few years, in fact, it's just a feeling, if you say something wrong, Mr. Wang, don't laugh." I think Mr. Wang's so many furniture in this room looks good, but this one feels the most comfortable! ”
Wang Luoshan listened to Xu Tao's words, and then glanced at the middleman who brought them here. is also the friend he and Gu Shi share. When the man saw this, he smiled and said, "Don't look at me, I didn't say anything!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Shi stepped forward and took a closer look at the confession and said, "This is Xiaoye Rosewood, look at this pulp is definitely an old thing, and the carver is good." ”
Gu Shi carefully examined the confession. Stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on it, and suddenly said in surprise: "The face of this confession is so thick!" ”
Wang Luoshan said: "The engraving and the case on this side are a whole piece of material, of course thick. ”
Gu Shi couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this, and looked at the confession carefully, the confession was more than two meters long and seventy or eighty centimeters wide, and what surprised Gu Shi the most was that the carving on the side was actually integrated with the desktop. There are no seams, how big a piece of material does it take to make this?
Thinking about the astonishing price of Xiaoye Rosewood now, Gu Shi was also a little surprised, even if this kind of material is new, the price is terrible, not to mention that this is still old furniture, not to mention that the big material of Xiaoye Rosewood was exhausted at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to find such a big material now. Gu Shi didn't use the equipment, so he couldn't completely determine the age of this thing. However, looking at the pulp, it is definitely a hundred years old. Then the price is even more staggering.
Wang Luoshan saw Gu Shi's look of amazement, so he said a little proudly: "What Mr. Xu said is right. It's one of my proudest collections, and I can't find it anymore! ”
"That's it!" Gu Shi agreed on the side: "It's indeed a good thing, seeing this today is not worth the trip!" ”
Zhao Dagang heard the words and went up to take a look, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a black piece, and he couldn't see anything famous, so he couldn't help but ask Gu Shidao: "Old Gu, you mean, this thing is very valuable?" Why don't I feel anything when I look black? "What do you know?" Gu Shi glared and said: "This is not a matter of value, the key is that you can't buy this kind of old thing even if you have money!" ”
Gu Shi's words made Wang Luoshan happy. Who doesn't like others to praise their collection? For Wang Luoshan, these collections are his treasures, just like his own children, some people praise them, not to mention how proud they are!
However, Wang Luoshan was said to be itchy in his heart, he was in this house. The arrangement of this wall is what he is most proud of, if others don't understand it at all, and can't see the doorway, he doesn't bother to say that it is boring to play the piano with the cow. But now, as soon as Xu Tao entered the door, he pointed out this red sandalwood confession. was touted by Gu Shi again, and he couldn't help but want to say another thing that he was proud of.
However, Wang Luoshan still wanted to sell Guanzi, so he said: "My place is more than such a good thing!" ”
"Mr. Wang" Song Xiaoyun, who had been following Xu Tao without speaking, suddenly spoke: "The wisteria picture you hang on here is Wu Changshuo's real handiwork, right?" ”
"Ah, can you tell the real thing?" Wang Luoshan glanced at Song Xiaoyun with some surprise, not as much as this beautiful girl had such insight.
Song Xiaoyun said modestly: "I don't dare to say it at all, but this brush of yours is free and easy, and the painting is not shaped, which makes people feel like they are superb." I think ten are the true works of the masters! ”
Wang Luoshan raised his thumb and said: "Amazing, the four words 'Qi Penetrating Divine Power' are really good, there are so many people who have seen this painting here, you are the second one who can say these four words and comments!" It's amazing that Miss Song has such a vision at such a young age! ”
Song Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Mr. Wang has won the award, in fact, I don't have such good eyesight, so it's a trick to say this." If you hang this painting above the table of your favorite collection, it will not be a fake. Are you saying I'm right? ”
"Hahaha!" Wang Luoshan laughed.
Just now, he saw that Gu Shi had brought so many people to see that Jin Sinan, gloomy wood, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart. However, as soon as Xu Tao opened his mouth, he pointed out the treasure of the red sandalwood confession, and Song Xiaoyun recognized this authentic copy of Wu Changshuo, but he was so modest, and it was even more against Wang Luoshan's appetite.
"Miss Song, you are humble, just because you can say the four words 'qi penetrating supernatural powers', it is very remarkable. To tell you the truth, there are many people who have commented on my Tibetan painting, but I think only these four words can best reflect the charm of this painting. ”
"It's just a superficial opinion, I don't deserve Mr. Song's false praise!" Song Xiaoyun said: "I think Mr. Song's arrangement is good, and the wisteria picture and this red sandalwood offering table really complement each other." ”
Wang Luoshan waved his hand again and again: "You are a false praise." The first to comment on this painting with the words 'Qi through the supernatural powers' was a master of calligraphy and painting in our Tiannan, and coincidentally, the old gentleman was also surnamed Song! ”
"Oh, that's a coincidence!" Gu Shi asked on the side: "I don't know who this calligrapher and painter Mr. Wang is talking about?" ”
Wang Luoshan said: "Speaking of this, Mr. Gu, you must know that it is our Tiannan calligraphy and painting master, and also the veteran of the collection industry, Song Zijiang, Mr. Song!" ”
Gu Shi knew that Song Xiaoyun was Song Zijiang's granddaughter, and last time he held a treasure appreciation meeting in Diecuixuan, Kong Shengjie, a collector in Zhongtian City, recognized Song Xiaoyun. Just now, Gu Shi heard Wang Luoshan say that the first person to comment on this painting was a calligraphy and painting master in Tiannan, and he was a little suspicious.
It is said that there is no limit, and there are many people in Jiangnan Province who can be called calligraphy and painting, but they are still alive now, and they are surnamed Song, so there are not many! Gu Shi asked this, but it was not what he expected.
Hearing that it was really Song Zijiang, Gu Shi smiled and said, "That's a coincidence!" Mr. Wang, do you know who this Song girl is? ..., Wang Luoshan said with some surprise when he heard this: "Could it be ......?"
Speaking of this, Song Xiaoyun naturally didn't hide it, so he said generously: "That's my grandfather, I didn't expect Mr. Song to know my grandfather!" ”
"Ah, it turns out that Miss Song is the granddaughter of Song Lao!" Wang Luoshan said loudly: "No wonder, no wonder, it's really a family history!" I haven't seen Mr. Song for many years, I don't know if Mr. Song is in good health? ”
"Thank you Mr. Wang for your concern, grandpa, his body is quite tough!"
"That's good!" Knowing that Song Xiaoyun was Song Zijiang's granddaughter, Wang Luoshan's good impression of Xu Tao and his party suddenly increased a lot: "I couldn't get two paintings last year, and I originally wanted to go to Tongzhou to ask Song Lao for advice, but I heard that your grandfather has bad eyes, and now he doesn't give people an appraisal, so I felt very sorry at that time." ”
"Grandpa is not doing an appraisal! But now his eyes are basically restored! Song Xiaoyun glanced at Xu Tao as he spoke, and Song Zijiang's eyes recovered, but it was entirely due to Xu Tao.
"That's great!" Wang Luoshan said: "Your grandfather is a good person, this is a good person with good rewards!" ”
Gu Shi's friend saw that they were talking hotly, but he didn't get into the main topic for a long time, so he said: "Lao Wang, it's not too early, let's let everyone see your piece of golden silk nan gloomy wood!" ”
"Yes, yes! Look at me, I forgot about it when I said it! Wang Luoshan said and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please inside, that thing is in the study!" ”
Wang Luoshan's study is naturally antique, all of the Ming and Qing Dynasty style solid wood furniture. Of course, not all of them are old, many of them are actually modern imitations, but the workmanship and materials are superior.
The most eye-catching thing in the house is a huge tree stump. The stump rests on the ground, slightly higher than a normal coffee table, and is surrounded by a dark circle, but the upper cut is polished to reveal beautiful golden lines.
The stump is very large, because of the proximity to the roots, it is obvious that one is large and the other is down, but even the smaller one is more than a meter in diameter, and the two of them will definitely not be able to hug each other.
"Oh, that's it!" Wang Luoshan pointed to the tree stump and said: "The authentic gloomy wood, and it is the best golden silk nan gloomy wood among the gloomy woods, Mr. Xu, take a look!" ”
Xu Tao circled around the stump, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it's a good thing!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
