Chapter 330: Hit your head against the south wall and never regret it
What Tang Yu took off the shelf was a black wood carving. At first glance, Su Zhe thought it was just an ordinary wood carving, with an eagle on it, making a movement of spreading its wings and flying high.
After a closer look, it was quickly realized that this was not an ordinary wood carving, but an ebony carving.
Su Zhe took it over and looked at it carefully, the ebony carving was a bit big, just like the big eagle he usually saw, just because the sculpture was ready to spread its wings and soar, and it happened to be in the middle of spreading its wings, and the width was a little small.
Su Zhe knew that the texture of ebony was relatively uniform, and it was difficult to use difficult and creative carving techniques such as skillful carving and beautiful colors. The finished product of the carving is often known for its unrestrained and heroic style, which requires the artist to have a fairly high artistic accomplishment. And the eagle eagle in front of him, looking lifelike, especially the eyes, showing the same light as the living eagle, as if looking at it for a long time, it will suddenly pounce and peck at the eyes.
"This eagle eagle Qinglan sister received?"
Tang Yu nodded, "Yesterday she said that she was waiting for you to come over and let you take a good look, looking at her happy appearance at that time, as if she had picked up a big leak." I was going to call you yesterday, but then another guest came over with something to pawn, and then I forgot about it. ”
"Before Sister Qinglan returned to her hometown, she specially told me that if you come over, you must show you this thing first. After a pause, Tang Yu looked at Su Zhe and asked, "What's so special about this eagle eagle?" Sister Qinglan said that it was carved from ebony, I heard that ebony is a scarce thing, and I heard that the villagers dug up a long one, and I don't know much about the market price. Usually, Sister Qinglan is the same as she used to be for the antiques she received, but it was this eagle eagle that made her pay attention to it. ”
After listening to Tang Yu, Su Zhe didn't see anything special about the eagle eagle, except that the carving was quite vivid, as if it was the posture of a living eagle flying high in front of him, there was nothing worth observing in depth.
However, when observing, Su Zhe found that the pair of eagle eyes made people's hearts flutter, and if it weren't for that pair of eyes, I am afraid that people would not feel that it would suddenly fly over.
Judging from the vintage, this eagle eagle has several years, at least above the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, there were no machines, and in the era of pure handwork, ebony could be carved like this, and such craftsmanship may not be able to be compared with the borrowing of machines now.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything special, Su Zhe was going to let Tang Yu put it back, and wait for Qinglan to come back and ask again.
"Light rain and so on. ”
Su Zhe stopped Tang Yu, took the ebony carving from her hand, and reopened his eyes. Even though it is an ebony carving, because of the age, the ancient aura wafting from it is endless, and it is so strong to absorb into the eyes.
Facing the two lifelike eyes, Su Zhe stared at them for a while, and hurriedly took two steps back.
"Xiaoyu, this is not an eagle eagle, but a real flying eagle. ”
"Ahh
Tang Yu was very surprised, she could be a little weaker in terms of experience in appraising antiques, but after operating for so long, under the teaching of Qinglan, she had gone from not knowing anything about antiques to now being a beginner.
Taking the eagle eagle from Su Zhe's hand, Tang Yu looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't tell which day it was formed by a real big eagle.
"Xiaoyu, you can look at the eyes of the flying eagle, I have been feeling strange just now, as if these eyes can stare at us alive. I was just wondering which ancient carver was so powerful, and the carved eagle was about to catch up with the pen in the hand of Ma Liang, the magic pen. ”
Su Zhe pointed to the eyes on the eagle eagle and said, "Even if it looks like it has been carved on the outside, the charm of this eye can't be carved." It seems that Sister Qinglan discovered this secret, so she will pay special attention to it. ”
After Su Zhe's special reminder, Tang Yu looked at his eyes carefully, and sure enough, it was just as he said, because these eyes seemed to suddenly light up in the dark and pounced on them.
"It's a real eagle and ebony. Tang Yu also sighed.
Since Su Zhe asked her to manage Tingyu Zhai, the antiques she has earned these days, and listened to Qinglan introduce the background of their production era, as well as some stories, Tang Yu will often be moved by the historical background story of each antique.
She suddenly understood why some archaeologists would rather go bankrupt or even spend their lives trying to collect those antiques and verify their dynasties, authors, and influences.
It turned out that it was not just for research, but to uncover a deliberate piece that later generations did not know.
It may be singing or crying, or ordinary, no matter which one it is, it seems to have a huge magic power to attract people to continue to fall deeper.
Tang Yu knew that she was like this now, and if Su Zhe suddenly didn't let her manage Tingyu Zhai, she would definitely suffer from gains and losses.
"Xiaoyu still remember who took this ebony carving?"
Tang Yu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
She was in the store when she brought the things, but she was inside, and Qing Lan greeted the customer from beginning to end. Like Su Zhe, she thought it was an ordinary wood carving at first, but she only knew that it was not an ordinary wood carving after hearing what Qing Lan said.
The price is 50,000 yuan, which is much lower if it is according to the market price. There are two possibilities for the other party to sell it at such a low price, one is stolen, and the second is that the seller does not know that it is ebony at all.
Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, since everything is sold here, there must be a shop around before this, maybe only they can accept the price of 50,000 yuan.
Su Zhe pondered for a while, unable to guess what the situation was, everything had to wait for Qinglan to come back.
"Xiaoyu, close the store early today. ”
"Why?" asked Tang Yu as he put the ebony carving back and walked out.
"Don't you want me if you haven't seen me in so long?"
"Yes. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, it's rare that I'm free today, I'll accompany you to go shopping. ”
Tang Yu hadn't been with Su Zhe for almost half a month, and he wanted to be alone. Looking at today's situation, it is estimated that there will not be many people coming over with things, tidying up and preparing to close.
Just as he was walking out of the door to pull down the safety box, a man hurriedly walked over.
"This gentleman, there is something in the store today, and we will not do business for the time being. Su Zhe looked a little flustered when he saw the person in front of him, and did not listen to Su Zhe's words, took out a jade pendant from his pocket and whispered, "Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, carries a jade pendant, you can see the price." ”
Zhao Kuangyin?
Or do you carry a jade pendant with you?
Su Zhe has seen that many emperors on TV will have jade pendants on their bodies, and at the last critical moment, which general will be used as a token, but in the end, he really doesn't know if Zhao Kuangyin has a jade pendant with him.
Besides, Zhao Kuangyin has been dead for so many years, and even the tomb has been turned over and over for archaeology, even if there is an unearthed portable jade pendant, I am afraid that it has already become a midterm object in the museum.
In history, Zhao Kuangyin was excellent in martial arts when he was young, and he always carried a dragon stick with him, and danced for a while from time to time, but he had no virtue in martial arts, did not do his job, and soaked in the casino all day long shouting five and six drinks, fooling around with gamblers, losing more and winning less. The persuasion of his parents, relatives, and friends, he went in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and he didn't take it seriously at all. It gave an old melon farmer a hard lesson, and since then he has changed his evil ways and returned to the right, concentrated on learning literature and martial arts, and finally achieved a great career.
Su Zhe looked at the panicked look in front of him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that Zhao Kuangyin's portable jade pendant was not a good thing.
If it was really Zhao Kuangyin's belongings, Su Zhe would feel that he had picked up a treasure, but it was the performance of this guy in front of him, he was afraid that he would not be able to kill if he picked up a treasure.
"This gentleman, there is something in the small shop today, this jade pendant can't be identified, or you come back tomorrow, or take it to other stores to see, I'm really embarrassed." After Su Zhe groaned, he still refused to do this business.
"Eighty thousand, look at it, I don't want a lot of money, just eighty thousand!"
The other party spoke a little hurriedly, his eyes were a little floating, and he glanced back from time to time.
Seeing this situation, Su Zhe would not do this business. Seeing Su Zhe's firm attitude, the other party didn't insist too much, and put away the jade pendant and went to another antique shop.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yu came out with a handbag from inside and saw a panicked passer, not knowing what was going on.
"There was a customer who took a jade pendant and wanted to make a move, but I didn't let him go to another store. ”
Tang Yu was puzzled: "Why don't you accept it? Is the thing fake or is the other party's price too high?"
Su Zhe shook his head, "I said that I will accompany you shopping today, and if you bargain after the appraisal, you will delay the time." Money is a thing that can never be earned, and although money is a good thing, sometimes some people are more important than money. ”
When Tang Yu heard Su Zhe say something about someone, he didn't know whether he was talking about himself or what he meant, but at this moment, he said it in front of her, and his face was slightly moist with shyness.
Today's weather is very good, and as we enter December, the weather has become dry and cold, and it is rare to go shopping in warm weather like today.
Tang Yu recalled that the last time he went shopping with Su Zhe was in Tian'an City. At that time, she was still Su Zhe's lover, and she followed Liu Changqiao's orders to monitor his every move by her side.
Now that Liu Changqiao has fled to Canada, Tang Yu is personally free, but his heart makes Su Zhe bound and unable to escape. knows that this kind of identity is very immoral with Su Zhe, but once a woman falls, knowing that she will be scolded by others when the East Window incident happens, she will not regret it when she hits her head against the south wall.
