It turns out that the things that the guards steal from themselves are not all good goods.

At least in the box in front of me, under the Siku Quanshu, there is still a stack of Siku Quanshu.

Most of these old books are "collections" in the "subset of classics and histories".

The most precious one, written in the Qianlong period, should be the original ancient book of the original Wenyuan Pavilion edition.

On the last page of the book, you can also see a large red square seal printed with "The Treasure of Qianlong's Imperial Tour".

"Your grandfather-in-law is so fierce!"

Zhang Yang looked at Qianlong's seal and gave Cheng Erye a thumbs up.

With or without the Imperial Seal, the value of things is simply heaven and earth.

"Well, are they all genuine?"

"Not really." Zhang Yang shook his head, took the only original ancient book and explained: "Although most of these are manuscripts from decades ago, with such an original work, it is already more precious than several dragon robes. ”

"And the fake?"

After Cheng Zongwen listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked Zhang Yang:

"Why are there any manuscripts? Who is so bored to copy so many copies, or is it a set? ”

"Hey, I have to say that what happened after these ancient books were transported to the island."

Zhang Yang gave Cheng Erye, who didn't know the inside story, a brief introduction to the situation at that time.

More than 70 years ago, the island province had not been developed and constructed, so how could it be able to preserve hundreds of thousands of cultural relics.

So at that time, a large number of boxes containing cultural relics were randomly piled up in the warehouse of the wharf.

As a result, as soon as the typhoon came, the flood flooded and dozens of boxes were destroyed on the spot.

In order to preserve these important "cultural heritages", the islanders built museums and arranged for people to manually back up these ancient books.

Of course, they ambitiously wanted to transcribe several copies, but it turned out that the complete Siku book had 800 million words and more than 36,000 volumes, and they couldn't finish copying it, and they couldn't finish it at all.

The project was halted halfway through.

After hearing this, Cheng Erye secretly cursed.

He wanted to sell these things half and give them to Zhang Yang as a favor, what is the matter with this box of fake books now?

Seeing that Zhang Yang was still admiring the Siku Quanshu in his hand, Cheng Zongwen just wanted to skip this topic quickly.

He quickly picked up the tool and continued to open the next box.

The last wooden box, larger than the others, has a label that says a Buddha statue.

Zhang Yang originally thought that it would be filled with some bronze gilt Buddha statues and the like, after all, the most popular and valuable metal statues in the Qing Dynasty were like this.

But when I opened it, I found that there was nothing related to Buddhism in the box.

"Who put this label on it?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"I don't know, it's definitely not posted by someone who believes in Buddhism anyway."

"Hahaha, that's right."

Zhang Yang took the first wood carving handed over by Cheng Zongwen.

The carving depicts a man in armor and the appearance of a general, sitting on a bench with a solemn expression.

"This is the seated statue of Emperor Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty."

As the most respected Taoist immortal of the Yongle Emperor, the meaning of the existence of the wooden statue of the Emperor Zhenwu is to grab the incense of the Buddhist god statue in the people.

So this is also the reason why Cheng Erye said that the person who sticks the label does not believe in Buddhism.

"This one, I'm afraid it's going to be 200,000 now." Zhang Yang said with a sigh of relief.

"It's only 200,000 ......"

Cheng Erye was not very satisfied with this price, and asked Zhang Yang:

"Is it because Taoism is not obvious now, so it is so cheap? If you change it to the same Buddha statue, how much will it be worth? ”

"Rulai? That's worth a third. Zhang Yang couldn't help but reply.

He told the other party the reason: "This is a wooden statue without any paintings, and it can be sold for 200,000 yuan, because he is the Emperor Zhenwu, which is too rare." ”

"Not bad." Cheng Zongwen sighed and nodded.

He then handed Zhang Yang a painted wood carving, which was beyond his knowledge.

"Who is this carving?"

"Look at the face, it looks a bit like Sammo Hung , but he is wearing a pair of red shoes and a bird in his hand and playing with ......"

"You think it's a bird? Let's go get an ophthalmology. It's clearly a toad. Zhang Yang pointed to the animal in the palm of the wood carving hand and said.

"Toads? If you hold this thing in your hand, won't it have blisters? ”

"That's a mortal, this is a Taoist immortal, the ancestor of the Quanzhen sect, and he is half a step away from being ranked among the eight immortals."

"That's a big deal...... Just tell me how much this painted wood carving is worth, right? ”

"It's more expensive than the statue of Emperor Zhenwu, at least 250,000."

The two wood carvings are about the same age, and they were both made during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of craftsmanship, it is not much different, the armor of Emperor Zhenwu is the same as the rusty flowers on the robe on Liu Haichan's body, and they are all carved very finely.

However, the color has always been a little more expensive than the black and white one, not to mention the wood carving of this bangs toad, and some of it is lacquered gold.

There are a few remaining things, Cheng Erye knows them, Zhang Yang took them, determined the next generation, and quoted an intention price to finish.

"Qing Qianlong's wooden dragon girl statue, 50,000;"

"The seated statue of Guan Gong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, 600,000;"

"Ming Xuande's bronze gilt civil official seated statue, 300,000;"

“……”

Until a lacquered gold statue holding the Blue Dragon Glaive appeared.

Qinglong Yanyue Knife, of course Cheng Zongwen knows it, but this hideous-looking figure is obviously not Guan Gong.

"Who is this? The lacquered gold on it is quite well preserved. ”

"Shall I see?" Zhang Yang took it.

After looking at it for a while, he looked at Second Master Cheng and asked:

"Let's see if there's anything similar to this one in the box."

"Yes...... This one. I know, this is Guan Gong. ”

"Wait, there's one more ......"

Seeing that the three statues were all together, Zhang Yang called each other to stop.

"Okay, okay, don't look for it."

"These three pieces are a set. In the middle, sitting on the bed is Guan Gong, holding the box is Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, and holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife for him is his deputy Zhou Cang. ”

"This is a complete set of martial saint Guan Gong statues, the kind that are placed on the desk to receive incense offerings."

"When you say this, I seem to be a little impressed......" Cheng Zongwen touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Thirty years ago, I saw this set of things in my father's study. ”

"Good fellow, do you remember the events of thirty years ago so clearly?"

"Well, I remember it very well. At that time, I should have thought that Zhou Cang was a thief who stole the knife, so after breaking the knife in his hand, he stuck it to Guan Gong's hand. ”

"Hahaha, Second Master Cheng, you are really a wonderful person."

Zhang Yang thought to himself, he knew why the other party could remember the events of thirty years ago.

He must have been beaten badly.

"Is this set worth anything?" Cheng Zongwen asked.

"Generally speaking, this is a Buddha statue made in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty, although it is very difficult to put together a set, but after all, it is a mass-produced thing back then, and it adds up to hundreds of thousands."

"More than 100,000 ......"

Cheng Zongwen shook his head a little unhappily.

He told Zhang Yang that there was now a wooden statue of Tianguan in the box.

"The statue of Tianguan is in good condition, at least 150,000."

"Makes you laugh. I didn't expect that the most valuable thing is those animal products, and the antiques behind this are not as good as one piece. ”

"Don't say that." Zhang Yang comforted: "This is a piece of heart sent back by Grandpa Yue, maybe he was playing with animal products at the time, and he didn't understand anything else." ”

"Right? I also think that's the only way to explain it. Cheng Zongwen nodded: "This year's New Year, go to the island province to burn more paper money for him." ”

……

A few boxes of things add up, even if the animal products are all given away for free, Zhang Yang estimates that it will cost two or three million.

He wanted to ask Cheng Zongwen for a total price on the spot, but the other party didn't mention the money at all.

When Zhang Yang asked the price directly, Cheng Erye was also evasive, taking care of him.

looks like he wants to repay his debts.

After Zhang Yang gave him the specific address and contact number of the warehouse of the Hailin Museum, Cheng Zongwen evaporated out of thin air and could not be contacted at all.

"Like your father-in-law, the seller of goods is the first time I've seen it when I'm so old."

When Zhang Yang was talking to Chen Yanguang on the phone, he couldn't help but complain.

"You don't care about him, millions of things, don't care too much." Chen Yanguang, who was far away in Egypt, said lightly.

"Speaking of which, why did you go to Africa?" Zhang Yang was a little curious.

Those who are in the antique industry have only heard of going to Egypt to buy goods, but not about going to Egypt to sell goods.

Going to Africa to sell antiques is like going to India to sell tableware, people use their hands to grab it, and they don't need it at all.

"Who made the Pyramid of Khufu in Africa?" On the phone, Chen Yanguang's tone was a little tired: "Huihui has to go to the extreme scenery of all continents to take wedding photos. ”

"As a result, I was wearing a down jacket to see the aurora in Iceland last week, and I was climbing the pyramids in a short sleeve in Egypt this week. Next week, I'm going to fly to Antarctica to find penguins......"

"Do rich people also want to travel like this?"

Zhang Yang admires Chen Yanguang's perseverance from the bottom of his heart, and sure enough, not everyone can eat soft rice.

"It's okay, I'll shoot this time for the rest of my life, I'm still waiting to eat your favorite wine!"

"Borrow your auspicious words, and the bouquet will be given to you when the time comes."

"Hahaha, I'm not a bridesmaid...... I still have a live broadcast task here, so I'll hang it up first. ”

Zhang Yang was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Yanguang suddenly stopped him:

"Wait. Didn't I call you on my own initiative today? ”

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Seems to be." Zhang Yang recalled, and he didn't know how to talk and digress.

"Why did you come back with a satellite phone? Don't tell me, it's to test the new features of your Huawei phone......"

"Of course not." Chen Yanguang explained: "It's your fan base that there is an old brother who wants to see the scenery of the Egyptian pyramids. My IP was exposed, and they all begged me for help. ”

"Do you have time at four o'clock in the afternoon, when it was ten o'clock on our side, and I had a wave of wheat in the Egyptian pyramids?"

"There's no need, you take your wedding photos."

Zhang Yang rarely rejected Chen Yanguang directly.

The fans in the group are not sensible, but he knows that Chen Yanguang is busy with business.

Besides, there are a lot of travel videos of the Egyptian pyramids on the Internet, and Zhang Yang has swiped them several times.

Inside the pyramid, in fact, it is a regular man-made cave, full of stones, without any scenery.

He explained: "I haven't broadcast live for a long time, and a lot of friends are waiting in line." ”

"That's right...... Okay, I'll play dead in the group. ”

hung up the phone and greeted Xu Jie to prepare for the live broadcast.

I haven't sat in front of the live broadcast computer for a long time, and my craft is a little rusty.

Especially in the past crazy online shopping festival, it is estimated that many people will be cut leeks.

Zhang Yang was mentally prepared to look at jade jewelry for an afternoon.

Soon, Lianmai became the first treasure friend.

"Teacher, wait a minute, I'll open the door."

"Open the door?"

"Everything is in the yard."

"Oh, it looks like a big deal, so you can show us it."

Baoyou pushed open the wooden door of his house, and the courtyard was enclosed with red bricks and large iron gates, a bit like a farm compound in the North China Plain.

The courtyard is almost full of stone carvings.

They are all common stone tables, stone chairs, stone lions and the like, as new as they have just been carved.

It can be seen that Baoyou's family should be in the stone carving business.

"We usually buy stone carvings and also collect stone carvings. A few days ago, the elders of the family went to the countryside and came back with some good things, and wanted to ask the teacher to help take a look. ”

"Yes, don't be nervous, just give the baby a picture."

Zhang Yang heard that Baoyou should be a little afraid of society, and his voice was trembling.

"Good...... Okay, let's look at this first. ”

Baoyou pointed the camera at a cylindrical stone platform.

"Stop, don't move."

"I'll take a look at the carved door."

I thought Baoyou was a bronze, but as soon as this thing was taken out, it was at least platinum.

I saw that on the side of the cylindrical stone carving, a double-opened door was carved, and two door buckles were carved in detail on the door;

On the top of the door, there is a circular word "longevity", and there are bats around the door, which means "blessing and longevity";

In front of the door is a stone staircase that slopes into the countryside;

Elsewhere, it is full of auspicious cloud patterns carved in relief.

What is this? 】

[It's a bit like a handrail of a stone railing, just look at whether there are any traces of cutting underneath]

[This kind of thing is everywhere, it's not worth much]

"Treasure friend, do you know what this is?"

"My dad said that this thing was used by the ancients to arrange flowers."

"That's right, the scientific name is called a flower stand, and it is used to put potted plants. But your flower stand is a bit special. ”

"First of all, you see, its side is carved with patterns, and there is almost no white space, which is generally called [full work] in the industry."

Zhang Yang analyzed slowly, because this thing is very expensive, he has to let everyone understand where the thing is expensive.

"Look at the ornaments it carves again, it is full of auspicious cloud patterns, indicating that this gate is in the sky, that is, the cave of the immortals."

"Finally, it's its material and age, which is white marble in the middle of the Ming Dynasty."

[it, the buff with money is stacked full]

[Just one royal only]

[Take back what I just said, white marble things can't be everywhere]

"This is what my dad bought for 50,000 yuan." Baoyou took the initiative to introduce.

"That Lingzun is a real cow."

Zhang Yang said with admiration:

"The stone lion of white marble is about two million for one to one. Although your flower stand is a little smaller, it is better than full work, and the meaning is good, if it is me, I am willing to pay 600,000. ”

"it!" Baoyou was very surprised, and couldn't help shouting: "Dad, come here, make a fortune!" ”

The happy fortune link is finally here.

When Baoyou's father heard the news, he trotted all the way over.

After listening to the whole process of the matter, the middle-aged man didn't believe it at all:

"Can white marble be sold for 600,000? . That's what this expert said, then you sell it to him directly. ”
