Today's auction results are so good that Bao Wen is in a very good mood, and he said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next three most popular lots in this auction are the next three lots, I hope you don't miss it!"

While speaking, the staff put three boxes on the table, and then took out all the things inside, but there were three wooden statues, namely boxwood carving Ruyi Guanyin statue, red sandalwood carving skinny Arhat and one for the traditional theme "Blessing in front of you".

The first two wooden statues, Bao Wen said that they were from the early Qing Dynasty, and the Fu in front of him was a work during the Republic of China.

When Chu Chen came to the stage, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, what was in the early Qing Dynasty, it was obviously modern handicrafts, and they were all made of chemical preparations.

However, these two wooden statues can still confuse novices, not only do they look natural when they are old, but they are all hand-carved, and the craftsmanship of the carver is not bad, the combination of the two, at first glance it really looks like that.

After looking at the first two wooden statues, the last one was "blessed in front of you", which made Chu Chen feel a little interested.

This "blessing in front of you" is actually a figure statue, carved is the well-known iron cane Li, its cane arched feet, hand Feng Xiang bat look, take the homophonic blessing in front of the eyes. Although this thing is in the Republic of China, but the carving is very exquisite, the clothes are complicated, the eyebrows are full, and the characters are vivid and lovely, quite charming.

The whole statue has a strong texture, which can be described as vivid and expressive, that is, it has the style of the palace office in the Qianlong period, and adds the unique understanding of the carver himself, which can be called a fine product.

In addition to the excellent carving of the statue, what surprised Chu Chen was. In a place under the hem of the character's clothes, he actually saw the word "fire clay". This made him stunned, and he hurriedly used the Spirit Treasure Eye on it. And the result confirmed that it was indeed a work during the Republic of China, and he made a rather shocking discovery.

Chu Chen quietly returned to his seat, and after a while, after Bao Wen said the reserve price, everyone began to bid for the price.

"Good! Guanyin like Boss Huang bid 80,000 yuan, and no one else bid? ”

"Boss Meng bid 100,000, and Luohan bid 50,000!"

"Boss Zhou, Guanyin is like Boss Zhou's bid of 180,000! This statue of Guanyin was originally enshrined by the Queen Mother, and according to the original owner, it was very effective. Anything else no one has bid? ”

"Good! Boss Wang bid 220,000! ……”

Hearing Bao Wen's enthusiastic words, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, he was also enshrined by the Queen Mother, I don't know which Queen Mother can live until now?

However, the auction has reached now, but no one has offered a bid for the "blessing in front of you", and I don't know if they are looking down on this wooden statue, or if they are going to wait until the other two statues decide the owner.

"Blessing in front of you, a thousand yuan!" After observing it for a while, Chu Chen didn't care about it. Directly quoted a reserve price.

"One thousand and five!" Hearing Chu Chen's offer, someone immediately followed suit.

"Two thousand!"

"Two thousand one!"

"Two thousand two! ……”

From beginning to end, only one person followed Chu Chen to quote the price, and Chu Chen quoted two thousand two. The man stopped, probably thinking that it was not worth buying something from the Republic of China at a high price, and in the end. This wooden statue was included in Chu Chen's pocket.

After paying, Chu Chen returned to his seat with the seventeen or eighteen centimeter wooden statue. Chu Junfeng asked curiously:

"San'er, how did you come up with the idea of buying such a thing. It's not a famous artist's work, and the wood carvings of the Republic of China shouldn't have much collection value, right? ”

"Who says there's no collectible value?" Chu Chen shook his head and said softly: "First of all, its material is quite good, it should be made of a piece of high-quality small-leaved boxwood old material, the wood is smooth and soft, the texture is delicate, the color has changed from light to dark, and gradually turns reddish-brown, giving people a simple and elegant, natural and noble beauty." ”

Boxwood, commonly known as the millennium dwarf, boxwood growth rate is extremely slow, there is a millennium boxwood long one inch said, the famous poet Li Yu "idle love occasional mail" commented: "boxwood every year one inch, not overflowing, to leap year to shrink an inch, is the limit of the destiny also." ”

Su Dongpo also has a poem: "There are countless springs of plants and trees in the garden, and there are only boxwood leap years." ”

Therefore, boxwood also has the reputation of "knowing destiny tree", which means that it can be content with the destiny of heaven, keep the predicament, and inspire people.

Because the slow growth of boxwood has created the delicate wood, it is similar to ivory over time, the color is uniform and pleasant, the texture is tough and delicate, it is an excellent raw material for carving, and the boxwood is the best in small-leaved boxwood.

Chu Chen continued: "Moreover, this carving is also very exquisite, no worse than the court craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Chu Junfeng asked with interest, "According to what you say, this statue should be very valuable?" ”

"Thirty or forty thousand, right?" Chu Chen replied.

In fact, if Chu Chen said that the author was Zhang Huoclay, then the price of this statue should be more expensive, but it was a matter of confidentiality, so he didn't say anything about it.

"Hey! I thought it would be worth 1780,000! Chu Junfeng said disappointedly.

Chu Chen was speechless when he heard this: "Art is priceless, is it good, besides, the inspiration given to me by the carving of this wooden statue is no worse than that of a statue of 1780,000." ”

"What, San'er, are you still going to learn carving?" Chu Junfeng asked.

"Hmmm! Have this idea! ”

Chu Junfeng shook his head and said: "I said what kind of carving do you learn, according to my meaning, you should go on a career path!" ”

Chu Chen smiled bitterly: "Second brother, I'm really not interested in the career, otherwise I would have promised my parents a long time ago!" Besides, it's better for me to get in, at least you have more connections in this area than I do, right? ”

"My temper is too impulsive, and I am not the material for this business." Chu Junfeng shook his head and said.

Chu Chen spread his hands: "I'm the same!" Besides, it's not that there is no one in our family, isn't there still the fourth child of the second uncle's family, and the cousin of the sister-in-law's family can take over! ”

Chu Junfeng sighed lightly: "The fourth brother is okay, but cousin, forget it!" ”

Some time ago, when Chu Chen heard Chu Junfeng's introduction, he thought that his father only had three brothers, but later he realized that he also had a sister-in-law, and the reason why the family had opinions about the sister-in-law was actually due to the bloody plot of the princess marrying a commoner.

If the sister-in-law has the ability, it's nothing, but the truth is that the brother-in-law is a nerd with some eyes and masters. After many contacts, the old man and the uncle were very disappointed in him, but the sister-in-law protected him again, which made the old man and the uncle have a lot of opinions about the sister-in-law's family.

In fact, the affairs of the elders had nothing to do with Chu Junfeng, and Chu Junfeng had a good relationship with his sister-in-law before, so two years ago, he also paid for his sister-in-law to do business, and he had already set up the project and introduced a few acquaintances to his sister-in-law, just like that, not only did the business not work, but also lost money.

In addition, the sister-in-law complained about Chu Junfeng again, which made Chu Junfeng very angry, so he can't stay with the sister-in-law's family now.

After the auction was completed, Bao Wen said with a smile: "Everyone, today's auction is over, thank you for coming, and look forward to seeing you next time!" ……”

"Let's go!"

Chu Junfeng stood up, said hello to Bao Wen, and walked out of the door with everyone.

"San'er, are there any activities at night?" Chu Junfeng asked as he walked.

Chu Chen replied: "I set a table at Bazhen Jade Restaurant in the evening, if you have nothing to do, go with your sister-in-law!" ”

"Eight treasures and jade food? Are you talking about the hotel opened by your second uncle? ”

After getting Chu Chen's confirmation, Chu Junfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I heard that the taste over there is very good, so I just went over and tried it today." By the way, you haven't said what that vase is all about! ”

Chu Chen was quite speechless when he heard this, the collector was still on the elevator with them just now, and it was a bit taboo to let him reveal other people's scars!

"Mr. Chu, just say it directly, the more I looked at this vase just now, the more wrong it became!" The collector smiled bitterly, and then apologized to Zhu Dafu.

Chu Chen said: "That's it, after we go downstairs, find a place to sit, it's not convenient to talk on the elevator." ”

"Okay! ……”

After getting off the elevator, everyone sat down on the sofa at the edge of the hall.

After a few words of greeting, Chu Chen first took a closer look at the shadow blue glaze carved vase.

This vase, flower mouth, the whole body is covered with shadow green glaze, the glaze is elegant, the body is carved with floral patterns, the lines are smooth, the circle foot is half glazed, and there is a glaze spot on the outsole, and the glaze spot is exposed.

Although this vase is beautifully made, and some of the features seem to be really like that, if you compare it with the real thing, it is completely different.

Chu Chen put down the vase, and then said, "Mr. Yang, I'll talk about a place for your reference." ”

"You say!" The collector said nervously.

Chu Chen said eloquently: "First of all, this vase is said to be made in the Yuan Dynasty, but the fetal soil is different from the porcelain fetus of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"The second is that the glaze is inconsistent with the glaze of the Yuan Dynasty, although the maker added a matting agent, so that it does not have the "thief light" of the new work, but after all, it is fired by a steam kiln, and the glaze looks very stiff and rigid, which does not meet the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty Yingqing. ”

In addition, the foot repair process and the processing of the details of the mouth edge are also not in place, which is very different from the process of Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. The last thing to say is that this glaze spot, it can be said that this is the biggest flaw in this vase, but we can't get started when we observed it just now, this is also a non-war crime! ”

Chu Junfeng looked at it and said, "I think it's very good, why did it become a flaw in your mouth?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "You are a layman's statement, as long as people who have a little understanding of the Jingdezhen craftsmanship of the Yuan Dynasty will know that this kind of outsole "glaze spots" are common in Longquan kiln products in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the works of Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty are rarely seen in this situation.
