Chapter 45: Horns
Now that this place is going to be demolished, the compensation for the demolition is not enough for the three generations of Lao Chen's ancestors and grandchildren to buy another house, so he wants to sell the ancestors' objects.
According to Lao Chen's words, the ancestors didn't want to watch their children and grandchildren sleep on the street underground, right?
This Lao Chen said while wiping away his tears, and he didn't know that he had found an erhu from the mes, and sang to himself: "I am like a goose mourning in the sky, I am like a dragon swimming on a shallow beach, I am like a fish swallowing a hook line, and I am like a boat that loses its rudder in the waves." Thinking about it, my liver and intestines are broken, how can I look forward to tomorrow tonight......"
This is actually Wang Guifen's "Wen Zhaoguan", the words are correct and round, the voice is vigorous, the tone is mellow, deep and suspicious, and the singing tone is quite a bit of Master Wang's style.
Erhula's skills are even more skilled, and he can't be so skilled in kung fu for decades, and he often listens stupidly to the side, what are you doing today?
"Hey, hey, I said Master Chen, your play is really good, let's sing it later......"
After listening to it for a while, seeing that this person had the meaning of singing excerpts, Chang Xian couldn't help but stop with his voice.
Although it is still a little new to listen to this Peking Opera, he must do a good job of target management after all.
"Bad singing?"
Lao Chen was singing energetically, but he was interrupted by Chang Xian, and his expression was a little unhappy.
"I've heard Wang Fengqing's original song seriously, let me tell you, although the source of this play is Cheng Changgeng, but later it was recognized that the best was Wang Guifen, Wang Guifen later passed the play to his apprentice Wang Fengqing, and few people have heard it over the years......
"Hey, how can you, you're not a ticket holder, you have to be a corner of the troupe! However, I said Master Chen, I came here today to get down to business......"
Chang Xian is still a little embarrassed, in the ears of people of their age, the Peking Opera is similar to the opera sung in foreign theaters, and the eyes are lively, but they can't understand a word in their ears.
Whether you are talking about Cheng or Wang, he really can't tell the difference between high and low, ugly and ugly.
……
"Then what are you doing here?"
Master Chen seemed to react at this moment: "This big brother, what do you call it?"
Lao Chen's words amused Chang Xian.
This gentleman is "Mao Erye" in the capital, and Hunan Province is called "Harry Oil".
No matter what he said, he sat down and chatted for a long time, and the old man actually thought that he was here to listen to him sing.
He was patient and said: "I said Master Chen, my surname is Chang, you can call me Xiao Chang, I heard that you are going to have some old things here, so I rushed from the city to see your things......"
"Hey, Xiaochang, look at my memory, how did I forget this stubble......"
Lao Chen's big hand slapped on his bald head, and he looked suddenly enlightened.
"Master Chen, you see that you are still boiling medicine, and you are quite busy, why don't you take out your things quickly........."
Chang Xian was a little confused, was this Lao Chen really confused, or was he scheming?
If you want to say that these are all arranged, then this scene, props, lighting and the acting skills of this actor, it is difficult to say whether the Oscars can be selected, and those who participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers must be strong contenders.
When Master Chen heard Chang Xian's words, he smiled and said, "Hey, I said Xiao Chang, isn't what you're sitting on just an object......
Chang Xianyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up and looked at the chair under his buttocks.
Sure enough, it was really Zhang Zhenghuanghuali's chair, and it was also an official hat chair in his early days.
Under the shadow of the copper coin, the positioning of the two chairs is undoubtedly revealed.
……
The so-called "early four" is the traditional title of folk carpentry.
It refers to the head of the chair at both ends of the head, and the front end of the left and right armrests, from vulgar to elegant, which is now the standard name for this type of chair.
In addition to the early fours, the official hat chair also has armrests and brains.
There was a cushion on the chair just now, and Chang Xian didn't pay attention to it, but now he took the cushion away and observed it carefully.
This Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair has thin components and large curvature.
The chair is rarely carved, making full use of the advantages of Huanghuali material, the wood is hard, the color is not quiet or noisy, and the texture is hidden or visible. Only one is embossed on the backboard, which is enclosed by clouds and double leeches, and the other is finely carved on the door of the pot door type and a small cloud is carved on the teeth.
It is a typical Ming-style furniture.
Connoisseurs know that curved and thin elements must be made of coarse wood, which means that the chair could have been made quite stout, but on the basis of the same size, it was cut into a slender and soft special effect at the expense of labor.
……
"Yes, this chair opens the door ......"
After observing for a while, Chang Xian gave an evaluation.
The four-year-old official hat chair was a status symbol back then, but it was also in its early fours, and the style was also high, and the price was naturally different.
This chair in its early four is a fine product, even if it is ancient, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Contact Lao Chen said Chen. The light is far away, and it is really a bit reliable.
I looked at the one next to me again, and it was almost exactly the same as this one, and the two were actually a pair.
In the antique shop, it is rare to buy goods in pairs, because these old objects are inherited for hundreds of years, and it is easy to get lost.
can make a pair, and the price will rise again.
"Master Chen, what is the price of your two chairs......
Chang Xian really took a fancy to this pair of four-stage official hat chairs, and he was also a little afraid of Lao Chen's grinding efforts, so he inquired directly.
"This is not in a hurry, you take a closer look at ......, hey, look at my memory, you have been here for a while, and the tea has not been served, what is going on......"
Master Chen put down his legs sitting cross-legged on the bed and poured tea with a swing.
Chang Xian looked at Lao Chen's unhurried appearance, and secretly calculated in his heart, feeling that today was over.
He may still be a little vague about other objects, but now Huanghuali furniture is in the market, and he still knows such a four-year-old Huanghuali official hat chair.
In fact, the price of huanghuali and mahogany furniture, that is, after entering the new century, began to soar.
In the 90s, this thing was not very valuable, and because these old objects were large, bulky, and took up space, some of the residents of the old house who did not understand their value moved to a new house, and they all threw them away.
However, in recent years, the price of Huanghuali furniture has risen rapidly, and if the early four are put on the auction, the price of one may not be less than 1.5 million.
