Chapter 133: Master of Jade Carving
The antique shop on the second floor is completely different from the first floor, not only is the store much larger, but the decoration of the shop is also more exquisite.
Tang Yun walked and walked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned around and walked into a shop.
This shop sells all utensils made from natural jade, jade.
As a gambling stone lover and chairman of a jewelry company, looking at the piles of jade, Tang Yun suddenly became interested, jade can be said to be Tang Yun's strength, but Tang Yun usually sees unprocessed jade, and the finished jade is relatively rare, even if it is Yunfei Jewelry Xuan, he goes there only a handful of times a month.
This shop is much larger than the others, and it is a shop made up of three shops with a middle wall, and not only is it large, but it also sells a lot more things than others.
When Tang Yun and the three of them walked in, there were already a lot of tourists in the store, including a few foreign beauties with long legs and blond hair and blue eyes.
"Boss, how much does this thing cost?"
A foreign beauty who seemed to be in her twenties was holding a hosta and asking the shopkeeper for the price.
The corners of Tang Yun's mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly when he heard this, this foreign girl's Chinese is not bad, but this pronunciation is still a foreign tone, almost every word has the first sound, it sounds quite interesting.
"This young lady, your vision is really good, this hosta is a fine hosta worn by a concubine in the Qianlong period of my country, and it is also one of the fine jade in our store, if you want it, just give 50,000 yuan!"
The waitress smiled flatteringly.
Tang Yun glanced at it, what the shopkeeper said was right, this hosta was indeed a product of the Qianlong period, and it had four apertures.
However, this so-called was taken by a certain concubine, Tang Yun felt that nine times out of ten he was talking nonsense, just like those people who set up stalls outside, just take a thing with a sense of history, and say that it was used by Emperor XX and Empress Dowager XX, basically deceiving those so-called newcomers who don't know how to do it.
The foreign girl in front of her is obviously better than the newcomers who don't know how to do it in China, and the foreigners who come to China to travel are usually richer, and they are out-and-out "fat sheep" in the eyes of businessmen.
Sure enough, when the young foreign beauty heard that this hosta was worn by a concubine of the former Chinese Emperor, her two green eyes couldn't help but light up, and she didn't even pay back the price, she swiped the card directly, and walked out happily with the hosta.
In Tang Yun's opinion, this hosta is worth at most twenty or thirty thousand, and fifty thousand is definitely twice as high, which can be seen from the joyful expression on the face of serving the Lantern Festival, obviously this hosta has brought her a lot of commissions.
There are many varieties and styles of jade in this store, including jade beads and jade strings, hostas, jade bracelets, jade rings, jade pendants, etc., and even a lot of ancient jade, which can be described as dazzling.
"This young lady, please show me that. ”
Tang Yun pointed to a jade jade carving in the glass cabinet and said, the waitress on the side heard the call and immediately opened the glass cabinet, took out the statue and handed it to Tang Yun.
Tang Yun took the statue and looked at it carefully, this statue was engraved with the image of a woman, judging from the costume, it should be a woman of the Song Dynasty.
I don't know why, when he saw this jade carving, Tang Yun liked it at a glance, he always felt that the woman engraved on this statue was very similar to a female lyricist in the Song Dynasty he liked, Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao is a representative of the graceful school, but also has the "first talented woman in the ages" said, Li Qingzhao is good at poetry and writing, more good at writing lyrics, her life has created many classic works, such as "Slow Voice, Seeking and Seeking", "Like a Dream Order, Chang Ji Xiting Sunset", "A Cut of Plum, Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn" and "Huanxi Sha, Light Spring and Cold Food Day" and so on.
Tang Yun had only seen part of Li Qingzhao's portrait, but the woman engraved on this statue gave him a feeling very similar to Li Qingzhao.
What's even more rare is that the material used in this jadeite jade carving is still ice jadeite, which adds a bit of ancient charm to the woman on the statue.
"Hello, how can this jade jade carving be sold?"
This jade statue that looks like Li Qingzhao, Tang Yun really likes it when he looks at it, if the price is not too outrageous, it is good to buy it back as a collector's item.
"Hello sir, the price of the jade carving is one and a half million. The waitress said with a smile.
"One and a half million? That's too expensive, isn't it?"
Tang Yun frowned, in his opinion, the price of this jade carving was no more than one million at most, and one and a half million was obviously a bit outrageous.
"I'm sorry sir, our jade carving is from the hand of the jade carving master Wang Mingyang, and the price is also set by his old man, you see, there is also his old man's signature. ”
The waitress will take out a card from the glass cabinet and hand it to Tang Yun from the place where the jade carving was originally placed.
Tang Yun looked at it, there was not only a signature on it, but also a short text introduction: This jade carving was made by my Wang Mingyang on May 30, 2010, and the figure engraved on the statue is Li Qingzhao, a famous female lyricist in the Song Dynasty, priced at 1.5 million yuan.
Jade carving master Wang Mingyang?
Tang Yun scratched his head, he had never learned carving, so he didn't know much about this jade carving master named Wang Mingyang, but this jade carving turned out to be the same as he thought, and the carving on it was indeed Li Qingzhao, a poet of the Song Dynasty, which surprised Tang Yun.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that there was more than this jade carving in the glass cabinet, this entire glass cabinet was a jade carving area, and it was all from the hands of this jade carving master named Wang Mingyang, in addition to the statue of Li Qingzhao, there were other Su Dongpo, Wang Xizhi, and even Ji Xiaolan.
Tang Yun looked at the statue and glanced at Wang Yu behind him, and Wang Yu immediately understood.
Two minutes later, Wang Yu nodded lightly at Tang Yun, this is the code that Tang Yun made to Wang Yu and Chen Guozheng when they were on the first floor, because he still has a lot of things he doesn't know about antiques, so when he encounters some things he doesn't understand, he still needs to search on the Internet.
What Tang Yun meant just now was to let Wang Yu use his mobile phone to surf the Internet to check whether there was really Wang Mingyang, the so-called jade carving master, Wang Yu had been following Tang Yun inseparably, and naturally understood what Tang Yun meant.
Seeing Wang Yu nodded, Tang Yun decided to buy it, if this statue was really carved by Wang Mingyang himself, then this 1.5 million yuan is worth the money, judging from the scale of this store, it should not be able to forge the master's signature, not to mention that the material used in the jade carving is indeed ice jadeite.
"One and a half million, isn't it?"
"Okay!
