Chapter 309: There is a mystery in the wood carving

Sixty paintings and calligraphy, more than 500,000, up to 13, five of which are made recently, and written on the words for Yuan Lao's birthday, the author of these five works, there are many Chen Yi do not know, in the introduction of Fang Wenbo, he only learned that the identity of these authors, are people with great reputation in the domestic painting industry, no wonder their recent works, will be worth more than 500,000.

Although these five works exceed 500,000, Yuan Lao will never be able to go back, and the birthday wishes of these people are really a piece of heart.

The remaining eight, three of which exceeded one million, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, more than a hundred antiques, most of them are worth more than 100,000, plus those more than 500,000, I am afraid that this big birthday, the value of the birthday gift received by Yuan Lao reached one or two million, it is very easy.

However, when he reached the status of Yuan Lao, what he cared about was no longer money, and what he pursued was probably just a painting career.

In terms of calligraphy and painting, although there is nothing that cannot be identified, just like porcelain, Chen Yi also identified several imitations, together with the imitation porcelain, which were placed in a separate place.

Among the porcelain, there are imitations of the Min Dynasty and imitations of the Qing Dynasty, but there are not many that are too rough, and these people must have used their hearts when preparing gifts.

In calligraphy and painting, there are also imitations, the imitation of porcelain, and some fixed rules can be followed, and the imitation of calligraphy and painting, you must have a deep understanding of the style of the original author, in order to be able to see the difference, there are some calligraphy and painting, Chen Yi completely relies on identification. Only then did the defect be discovered. Huang Hexuan was also on the side to discuss some of the characteristics of the painting.

Sixty paintings and calligraphy have been appraised. Huang Hexuan is full of admiration for Chen Yi, and his understanding of calligraphy and painting is comparable to him in some aspects.

It seems that the thing I said before that he studied painting for less than half a year and constantly identified the defects of his paintings is real.

Huang Hexuan was still like this, and Fang Wenbo on the side had respect for Chen Yi after being shocked, as the eldest disciple of Yuan Lao. Even if he usually doesn't show off his complacency on the surface, but in his heart, he still has some pride, and now compared with Chen Yi, the scenery he thinks in his heart has completely disappeared.

Chen Yi is so young, his level of painting is already close to him, and in terms of identification, he also has such extraordinary ability, even him. When appreciating paintings and calligraphy, I can't find many things in the paintings like Chen Yi.

In the master's fancy, Chen Yi is in his favor. When he communicated with him like a friend, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now he sighed secretly, knowing that the effort he had put in was still too little.

After identifying the two categories of calligraphy, painting and porcelain, the remaining thirty-five pieces of porcelain are full of fun for Chen Yi, jade, wood carving, inkstone, and brush can be said to have a wide variety, of course, among these categories, there is no such thing as bronze that is prohibited from trading.

Jade is mainly jade pendants, among which there are a few ornaments, after the identification, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, it is the birthday gift given to Yuan Lao by the ancient people, basically related to the word longevity, its value, almost more than 100,000.

Even if they all belong to the same jade carving factory and a jade carving culture, the jade carved by the ancient people is a little different.

When identifying a birthday wood carving, Chen Yi looked at the rough traces of craftsmanship on it, and couldn't help frowning, this kind of inferior wood carving, let alone a collector, even if it is not a collector, it can almost be found.

The craftsmanship is rough, the facial features of the birthday star are even more miserable, there is no such lifelike carving of some fine handicrafts at all, the process is just that, even the materials used for wood carving are ordinary wood, painted with lacquer, and found that the wood material is also seen by Chen Yi in a position where the paint has been dropped, and there is no identification at all, so you can know that this wood carving has no value at all.

I didn't expect that in the birthday gift for Yuan Lao, there would be such a promiscuous guy, and this wood carving was specially packed in a big box, which made people laugh and cry.

Looking at a card in the box, wishing Yuan Lao a wide range of wealth and a long life, a little heart, not a respect, Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and asked Fang Wenbo: "Brother Fang, do you know Zhu Jianguo, who gave this wood carving." ”

Fang Wenbo didn't think about it for too long, so he nodded, "I heard the master say that this Zhu Jianguo is the owner of a private paper factory in Lingzhou, worth tens of millions, but I asked the master before, ask the master for help, and let the Lingzhou Academy of Fine Arts paint paper purchase them, but the quality of the paper they produce is very poor, the master directly rejected him, this time he was not invited at all, I am afraid he also came in with others." ”

"Oh, I see." Chen Yi nodded and looked at the wood carving, could it be that Zhu Jianguo was angry for a while because of Yuan Lao's refusal, and deliberately sent such an inferior wood carving to bury Yuan Lao.

According to common sense, this is somewhat impossible, refusal is rejection, and there is nothing to lose, but if Zhu Jianguo deliberately sends this thing over, it will undoubtedly be a provocation to Yuan Lao, Yuan Lao will not have any loss, but Zhu Jianguo, there will definitely be a big loss.

So, since it was not sent on purpose, and this wood carving is so inferior, ordinary people can see it, and according to the words on his card, this Zhu Jianguo did not do it on purpose, so there should be something that he didn't find out, Chen Yi couldn't help but use the appraisal technique at this time, and suddenly the system prompted that he needed to use the appraisal technique twice.

He couldn't help but smile, sure enough, he was afraid that Yuan Lao would refuse to send this thing directly, and he didn't expect that there would be a dark Chen Cang.

"Chen Xiaoyou, is there anything wrong with this wood carving?" Huang Hexuan on the side seemed to see something, and couldn't help but ask Chen Yi.

Chen Yi smiled, "There is no problem with this wood carving, it's just the motivation for sending the wood carving, there are some problems, Yuan Lao has a birthday, even if he does his best, he should take some good things to celebrate his birthday, but the wood carving sent by Zhu Jianguo is of inferior quality, and its wood is still made of ordinary trees, the value can be said to be very low, Brother Huang, if you take a serious look, you can also find the roughness of this wood carving process." ”

Huang Hexuan came up, looked at it twice, and couldn't help nodding, "It's really rough, Fang Xiaoyou, didn't you say that this Zhu Jianguo is worth tens of millions, and if you send this kind of thing, you are not afraid of Yuan Lao's anger." ”

"Well, Mr. Huang, yes, this Zhu Jianguo is the owner of a paper mill, and he is indeed worth millions." Looking at the wood carving in Chen Yi's hand, Fang Wenbo frowned, could it be that this Zhu Jianguo was revenge.

"It's just that the matter of being rejected by Yuan Lao to purchase paper will definitely not let Zhu Jianguo take the risk of angering Yuan Lao and send such a worthless wood carving, and there is a piece of heart written on the card, which is not a tribute, it is really a manifestation of three hundred taels of silver here, in this case, there is only one point." Chen Yi shook the wood carving lightly at this time, and naturally sensed the sound of the objects inside.

Hearing the sound of the wood carving, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, "Sure enough, there is another mystery in this wood carving." ”

"Yes, Chen Xiaoyou, I also heard something stirring inside, open it and see what it is." Huang Hexuan was also quite interested and said, but he didn't expect to identify a birthday gift, and it was also like fighting against spies.

Chen Yi nodded and smiled, although he already knew what was inside the Dao through identification, but he still needed to open it to let others know what it was, looked at the base of the wood carving, it was obvious that it had been manipulated, and with a light buckle of his hand, a round piece of wood was buckled down, and then he shook the wood carving lightly, and a folded note fell out of it.

Catching the note with his hand, Chen Yi opened it and smiled, "This is much more valuable than sending a refined wood carving, two million checks." With that, Chen Yi handed it to Huang Hexuan, and after that, it was in Fang Wenbo's hands.

Looking at this check for two million, Fang Wenbo's face was stunned, he didn't expect this Zhu Jianguo to use this way to send money, he couldn't help but be a little dignified on his face, "Mr. Chen, you appraise first, and I will inform the master of this matter." ”

With some high-value birthday gifts, under a heart, it is nothing, even if there are some other purposes, others will not say anything, but directly send money, this nature is different, and his master is still holding positions in some institutions.

After Fang Wenbo left, Huang Hexuan couldn't help but ask Chen Yi with some doubts: "Chen Xiaoyou, then Zhu Jianguo put the check in the wood carving, and he was not afraid that Yuan Lao would not find out." ”

"Brother Huang, there is really no big difference between finding out and not finding out, besides, Zhu Jianguo is eager that Yuan Lao will not find out, so it will be solid, when the time comes, ask Yuan Lao for help, if Yuan Lao doesn't help, he may come up with this matter and threaten, saying that Yuan Lao received two million from him on his birthday, and if Zhu Jianguo comes up with some evidence at that time, Yuan Lao will be difficult to argue even if he really doesn't know the truth." Chen Yi said with a smile, this kind of thing, when they were in college, their teachers didn't know how many examples Lu Dao had talked about.

"Oh, I see, I see." Huang Hexuan nodded, he had lived in the mountains for a long time, and he didn't know much about people.

Chen Yi smiled, looked at the wood carving, and put it aside, "It's only two million, and I want to count on Yuan Lao to violate the principle, which is too cheap." ”

At this time, Yuan Lao's laughter sounded outside the door, "Ha Luha, Chen Xiaoyou is right, it took a lot of effort to send a mere two million, but I don't take my principles too seriously." ”

"Old Yuan, I was just joking." Chen Yi couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Ha Luha, Chen Xiaoyou, you did a good job, I didn't expect to identify something, and actually identified a check, if you put the wood carving aside later, wouldn't it make others think that I had swallowed this money privately, Zhu Jianguo, this person, does not follow the right path, these crooked ways, but very good at it." Yuan Lao smiled again, and couldn't help but come over and pat Chen Yi's shoulder with relief. (To be continued......)
