This voice attracted the attention of both the stall owner and the old man and apprentice.

Yu Fei couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and said, "The carving of this Guanyin is good." ”

Sending the child Guanyin belongs to the theme of the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, jade tended to be secularized, and it showed more content related to daily life in terms of vessel types and ornamentation, such as figures, animals, auspicious patterns, and literati paintings. The jade of "Sending the Child Guanyin" was produced in the background of secularization, and it is a kind of furnishing with Buddhist colors.

Generally, the goddess of mercy is carved in a round way, but the one in Yu Fei's hand is carved open. However, although there are not many openwork Guanyin, there are not many of them, and it is not worth being strange at all. If you want to talk about the carving, it is even more ridiculous, although the carving of this son Guanyin is dense but very messy, at a glance you can know that the road is not from the hands of a famous artist.

"The little brother is also a member of this way?" The old man turned his head and said to Fei with a smile.

"Oh!" Yu Fei hurriedly said: "I'll tell you the truth, this is my first time entering the antique market, and it's just a play." ”

"Oh, that's right." The old man nodded, so he didn't take Yu Fei as a trust.

The owner of the small-eyed stall hit the snake with the stick and said, "Little brother has good eyesight." To tell you a few things, my ancestors were jade workers in Suzhou, and the jade made was dedicated to the emperor as a tribute. It's just that because of the war, the craft was lost. The stall owner said with a sigh. The most famous jade worker in history is the craftsman of Suzhou, also known as Wu Gong. Lu Zigang, known as the first person to make jade in China, is a jade worker in Suzhou. It's just that now the jade workers in Yangcheng are going to surpass Suzhou.

The old man naturally didn't believe a word in the stall owner's words. The most basic way to survive in the antique industry is to be able to tell stories. There is a story in the industry that an antique shop is looking for a guy and two young people apply at the same time. The shopkeeper picked up a small sawdust on the ground and asked the first young man, "What is this?" The young man didn't think about it and said, "Wood chips." The shopkeeper shook his head and asked the second young man, but saw that the young man hurriedly took it with both hands and said, "This is the toothpick used by Lafayette of the Queen Mother." The shopkeeper was overjoyed and immediately accepted the young man. I don't know if this story is true or not, but it shows the importance of storytelling in the antique shop.

The reason why Yu Fei was shocked was because when he picked up the Jade Guanyin, his right hand suddenly felt a cool gas coming from the Jade Guanyin's body! Although it disappeared in an instant, it made his right hand feel numb and crispy! This is something that Yu Fei has never felt when he touched other jade objects. If he looked closely now, he would see that there was a faint cyan gas lingering in the palm of his right hand, and it quickly melted into his skin and disappeared.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, but even if he did, no one would believe it.

The Jade Guanyin is about 30 centimeters tall, and its form is serene but relatively stiff. What made the old man sneer at this Yushanzi was that the child was not standing in Guanyin's palm, but hidden in the crook of Guanyin's arm, looming! That's, isn't it? Did the sculptor think that Guanyin, like ordinary rural women, held her child with both hands? Not aesthetic at all! I really don't know which craftsman made the road!

The child holds a lotus flower in his hand, and the leaves of the lotus are carved with the pretty color of the jade itself, which is also ingenious, but it is also too unreasonable. Under the cover of the lotus leaves, the boy in Guanyin's hand only showed a small half of his face, and he could barely see that it was a child.

"Boss, you can tell you a price for this Jade Guanyin. I'll ask for it if it's appropriate. Yu Fei said.

"The little brother is a cheerful person." The stall owner said, "I don't talk to my little brother either. This jade Guanyin is an old object of the Ming Dynasty, our family ancestral, such a large piece of Hetian jade, although it is only a mountain material, but it is also very rare. If the little brother really wants to buy it, you can take it for 20,000 yuan. ”

Yu Fei smiled and put the Jade Guanyin down again. It seems that he was too eager just now, which caused the stall owner Lion to open his mouth.

First of all, this jade Guanyin is not an old object of the Ming Dynasty at all. The reason is very simple: the Yin line of the jade of the Ming Dynasty is wide and deep, the edges are sharp, the groove is obvious, and there are many phenomena of crossing the line and disguising; Moreover, the foundation of the jade of the Ming Dynasty is not clear and uneven. From these two points alone, it can be concluded that this Yushanzi is not from the Ming Dynasty at all. Secondly, the material of this jade mountain is Kunlun jade, which is the so-called QH jade, which is a whole grade worse than Hetian jade! Let's talk about it, although the jade collection is very hot nowadays, but it is mostly concentrated on some small objects such as jade pendants and jade pendants, which are easy to carry and show off.

Therefore, the stall owner's price of 20,000 yuan is really a lion's mouth.

Yu Fei clapped his hands and was about to get up.

The stall owner hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't worry? If you really want to buy it, you might as well pay a price. ”

In fact, Yu Fei is just making a appearance, this jade Guanyin can bring coolness to his right hand, if he doesn't buy it and figure it out, I'm afraid he won't be able to feel at ease. But he looked at it for a long time and didn't see the difference between this piece of jade Guanyin and other jade, so he didn't know what price Lu Dao should repay.

The old man next to him is proficient in this way, Yu Fei asked for help and said, "Old man, you can help me palm my eyes." ”

The old man smiled and said nothing, this is the rule of the antique shop, and it can't stand in the way of other people's wealth. What's more, the old man still eats this line of food, and he will not disobey it.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Yu Fei gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand!" Although he subconsciously has some impressions of antiques, he actually doesn't know anything about them, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the old man to open his eyes just now.

As soon as the price of one thousand was exported, the old man knew that Yu Fei was going to pay for a lesson this time, although he had some good feelings for this young man, but it was also inconvenient to remind him.

"Little brother, you're cutting too hard, aren't you? Not to mention that this is an old object of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a modern work of art, there are more than a thousand pieces of Hetian jade with such a large piece of jade Guanyin. The stall owner said with a bitter face.

Yu Fei thought that there was a jade cicada hanging around his neck all the time, and the material of that jade cicada was much better than this jade Guanyin, so he just took it out to kill the price.

He reached out and took out the jade cicada from his chest, and suddenly he was smart! Because he felt that there was also a cool gas in the jade cicada flowing into the palm of his right hand, and then disappeared. What's going on? This jade cicada has been following him for ten years, and I don't know how many times he has been touched, but he has never felt this way! And only the right hand produces this situation, could it be that the right hand has undergone some kind of mutation?

He remembered that when he fell from the building that day, something seemed to hit his right hand, causing a tearing pain, but it was only an instant to return to normal, and he thought it was an illusion.

By the way, it seems that there are still people who say something like "lucky boy" in their own ears. Later, he also asked Zhang Aimin and Chen Bin if they had heard anyone talk, but these two boys had big innocent eyes and shook their heads like rattles. Yu Fei didn't ask, thinking it was just an auditory hallucination. But now it seems that something similar to the supernatural event has happened!

"Little brother? Little brother? Seeing Yu Fei stunned, the stall owner couldn't help but shout.

"Oh!" Yu Fei came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Boss, when it comes to material, your jade Guanyin is much worse than my jade cicada." ”

Yu Fei spread out his hand, revealing the jade cicada in his hand!

At this time, the old man was already ready to leave with his apprentice, he had already seen the objects on the stall just now, and there was really nothing worth selling.

However, when he saw the jade cicada in Yu Fei's hand, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes showed a light of surprise! If it weren't for many people, I'm afraid he would have stepped forward to take a closer look.

"Little brother, although your jade is good, it's just such a small piece, look at the size of my jade." The stall owner argued.

The jade cicada in Yu Fei's hand is the finest mutton fat white jade, which is many times better than sending Ziyu Guanyin.

Yu Fei smiled and said, "It's just a thousand yuan, if you don't sell it, I'll leave." ”

The stall owner lowered his head, frowning as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, but he was actually quietly observing Yu Fei, if Yu Fei showed his eagerness to buy, then he would still insist on increasing the price.

Yu Fei behaved very resolutely, didn't even speak again, put the jade cicada into his clothes, turned around and left.

As soon as the stall owner saw that the beaked duck was about to fly, he hurriedly said, "Sell!" A thousand is a thousand! It's kind of a friend who makes a little brother. Saying that, as if he was afraid that Yu Fei would regret it, he wrapped the jade carving and put it in a box, which was considered a deal according to the rules.

Yu Fei counted out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged stall owner, holding the box and preparing to leave. This transaction cost him a quarter of his net worth, but he hadn't seen the way out yet, which made Yu Fei's heart a little drumming, and he was ready to go back and study it carefully.

But unexpectedly, someone behind him called: "Little brother, little brother......"

Yu Fei turned around and found that it was the old man who was looking at the jade with him just now.

"Are you calling me, old man?"

The old man introduced himself and said: "I am Dong Dechang, an appraiser of Ningdu Pawnshop, and this is my business card. I don't know what the little brother is called? ”

"Old man, just call me Yu Fei." Yu Fei said.

"Little brother, I wonder if you can take a step to speak?" Dong Dechang said with some embarrassment. After all, he didn't respond when Yu Fei asked him for help just now, although it was in the way of the rules, but this situation hurt a little.

"This?" Yu Fei's face was embarrassed, the antique market was mixed, who knew who the old man surnamed Dong was and what he wanted to do?

Seeing that Fei Fei hesitated, Dong Dechang said: "There is a tea house opposite Tianning Temple, how about we go there for a cup of tea?" ”

"Okay." Since he just went to the tea house of Tianning Temple, he was not afraid of what he would do. Besides, since he is an appraiser of the pawnshop, he may be able to help him find out the secret in the Jade Guanyin, so he agreed to come down and followed Dong Qichang to the tea house.

Dong Dechang asked for a pot of Biluochun, and then dismissed the waiter.

The young man named Wen Xuan skillfully brewed tea, poured a cup for Dong Dechang, and then hesitated for a moment, but poured himself a cup first, and then poured it to Yu Fei. probably because Yu Fei's age is two years younger than him, and he is dressed very ordinarily, so he doesn't seem to be able to take this first.

Dong Dechang's eyes flashed, this Wenxuan, he has been following him for more than a few years, and he thinks very highly of himself, and now he has learned the bad habit of watching people cook! If it weren't for Yu Fei, he would have taught a lesson a long time ago. No matter what industry you are, you can do things only after being a person, otherwise you may not have much to do in your life.

"Little brother, forgive the old man for being presumptuous. Just now I happened to see a jade cicada hanging from your neck, although it was just a glimpse, but it made my heart itch and scratch, I don't know if the little brother of Lu Dao can let me take a closer look. ”

Yu Fei suddenly realized in his heart that this old man had seen his jade cicada. Where did the jade cicada come from, Yu Fei himself didn't know how to do it, if he could see the origin of this jade cicada, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Yu Fei reached out and took out the jade cicada on his chest and handed it to Dong Dechang, but this time he didn't feel the cool gas again.

Dong Dechang carefully took out a piece of flannel cloth to take the jade cicada, took out a magnifying glass from his arms and observed it carefully.

The jade cicada is made of mutton fat white jade. The jade cicada has a round head shape, and its eyes jump out of the outline. The cicada body is carved into a diamond shape, the image is concise and generalized, the head, wings and abdomen are carved with thick yin lines, and the wings on the back of the cicada are symmetrical from left to right, such as the lung lobe, and the shape is relatively regular. The knife technique is simple, but it is rough and powerful, and the knife is sharp.

"This is a typical Han Badao, and the cicada head should be a cicada in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty." Dong Dechang said slowly. The jade cicada can be divided into three kinds according to its use, one is the cicada, as the name suggests, it is specially worn on the body of the person for decoration and to ward off evil spirits; the other is the crested cicada, which is worn as an ornament on the hat; There is also a type called cicada, which is a burial object that is placed in the mouth of the deceased.

Dong Dechang said with admiration while looking at it: "The Western Han jade cicada attaches great importance to the selection of materials, and is mostly carved with XJ white jade and green jade. Among them, the jade color is white. The whiter the jade, the higher the level, this cicada is the king of the jade cicada in the Western Han Dynasty. Perfect, just too perfect! ”
