Chapter 202: Emperor Wood Carving

Zhang Ruisong still stayed in the door for too long, and his thinking was a little too naΓ―ve.

It may also be that he is very confident in his daughter's power, anyway, he doesn't have the slightest sense that it will be dangerous to detonate the heavenly thunder by himself.

I saw that he first picked up the dog, pointed to the two words and said, "Zhongxian, these two words do not refer to the dog as an animal loyal and virtuous, but to Wei Zhongxian is a dog."

And the treasure character engraved under the dragon is self-proclaimed.

These wood carvings are the works of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong, the one known as the Carpenter Emperor.

He lived in the cold palace before he was 5 years old and had no name, and the people who took care of him called him Bao'er, which is also his milk name.

And the An engraved under the pig refers to the great eunuch Wang An, which means that Wang An is as stupid as a pig.

Under the snake, the direct refers to the imperial historian Zuo Guangdou, which means that Zuo Guangdou is as cunning as a snake.

Oh, the word Zuo Guangdou is called Zhizhi.

The hundred characters engraved under the mouse do not refer to the quantity, but to Xiong Tingbi, the history of Liaodong at that time, and the word of the goods is Feibai.

At the beginning, the loss of Liaoyang was all due to the rat generation, and Zhu Youxiao hated him to death.

And the last tiger refers to Yang Lian, the most famous leader of the Donglin Party at that time.

Yang Lian was the capital, and the Donglin Party was controlling the imperial power at that time to impose more elbows on the emperor, and in the heart of this emperor, he was a fierce tiger and a vicious tiger.

And Yang Lian's number is Dahong.

Although I don't know why these things appear in the tomb of a four-rank civil official, they were added to the 12 zodiac signs by the painting snake.

But these wood carvings were indeed made by the hapless carpenter emperor, probably just to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

And these pieces of wood are not ordinary boxwood, if you don't believe it, you can take a basin of water to check it.

Boxwood is floating on water, and these pieces are jade silkworm gall wood, which is heavier than boxwood, and will sink to the bottom when put into the water. ”

The fat man's eyes were straight, "Uncle, you're not kidding?"

Are these little things really carved by the emperor himself? ”

Boss Gao immediately sneered, "If you don't have good eyesight, your eloquence is good, it's okay not to tell a story."

Look at what you can, and make it up in a decent way.

The wood carving carved by the emperor himself?

Why don't you say that your two vases are kilns fired by Taishang Laojun himself? ”

As soon as he said this, several bosses who were good friends with him also covered their mouths and snickered, as if they were looking at fools.

However, the two old men who specialize in playing with antiques of the Ming Dynasty looked solemn, and one of the old gentlemen carefully took a magnifying glass to look at the bottom of the wood carvings, looking uncertain.

Xue Wu looked at the two of them and his heart moved, he couldn't tell whether this thing was true or not, but he knew that among the group of people present, these two were the most knowledgeable about the objects of the Ming Dynasty.

Judging by the looks on their faces, this thing can't be real!

The old gentleman asked Zhang Ruisong with a solemn face, "This little brother, how do you conclude that these wood carvings are from the hands of the carpenter emperor?"

With these words alone, the explanation is a bit far-fetched! ”

Zhang Ruisong touched the back of his head blankly, "This carving technique is Zhu Youxiao's usual technique."

And if you specialize in the history of the Ming Dynasty, you should have seen Zhu Youxiao's handwriting in a museum or something.

When I was a child, I had a wood carving toy in an octagonal pavilion, and my father said it was the work of Zhu Youxiao, which was exactly the same as the handwriting of this carver.

If you have to talk about evidence, then this jade silkworm gall tumor wood should be regarded as the main evidence.

This thing is a tribute, and no one except the emperor should be able to take out 6 carvings of these small objects. ”

There was a boss in the crowd who specialized in wood carving and nodded, "Jade silkworm gall wood was indeed a tribute in the Ming Dynasty.

It is possible that the local officials have one or two small pieces in private, but only the emperor is qualified to use such large six pieces.

But how do you prove that this is the jade silkworm gall?

I have been playing with wood for decades, and I have handled countless red sandalwood yellow pears, but I have only seen a small piece of jade silkworm gall with a small piece the size of a thumb.

This one is indeed very similar, but the carving on it has covered up the special pattern, and it is really difficult to determine. ”

Zhang Ruisong frowned slightly, "The so-called jade silkworm gall tumor wood is actually boxwood.

It's just that in the process of growth, a kind of insect called jade silkworm was born.

In order to protect itself, the boxwood secretes a large amount of special juice to kill the insects in the body, and slowly wraps the formation of a tree nodule.

It is denser and harder than boxwood, because those saps react with the bugs to produce medicinal properties.

If you want to distinguish it, one is to submerge the density of water, and the other is to look at the medicinal use.

Jade silkworm gall wood has a good hemostatic effect, as long as a little powder can make the wound stop bleeding instantly.

Or put it on your pillow for a night's sleep, and it's good to calm down. ”

The boss who made woodware immediately lit up his eyes, "Yes, yes, this little brother is right, it seems that you really have research on this jade silkworm gall." ”

The fat man immediately felt distressed when he heard the scraping powder, "Uncle Zhang, if this is really the wood you said, it is a treasure, and if this is really carved by the emperor, it is even more sky-high, but it is not happy to scrape down."

If they don't believe it, even if we lose, I'll give him 300,000 and we'll take this treasure home.

You're going to scrape more than 300,000. ”

Zhang Ruisong didn't care, anyway, it wasn't him who gambled, if it weren't for the fat man who kept saying that he couldn't be ashamed, he wouldn't want to expose this treasure.

When everyone heard the fat man admit defeat and take the baby away, they hesitated.

Especially Xue Wu, if these wood carvings were really carved by Emperor Xizong, then this auction would be worth 200 million.

Just let people spend 300,000 to take it away, how can he be willing?

The two old gentlemen who specialized in Ming Dynasty objects also wanted to take a second look, and they had really seen the wood carvings of Emperor Xizong.

It is because the carving and handwriting are all the same, that they are so confused.

The fat man saw this situation and hurriedly hugged a few wooden carvings into his arms, "I said that you are still unreasonable?"

This thing was bought by the fat man, can't I admit defeat and not gamble?

I'll give him 300,000 yuan of his pile of things, and you will treat me as worthless, and I will lose, okay! ”

The more he had this attitude, the more curious everyone became, Xue Wu made a look, Lao Liu hurriedly went to bring a basin of water and said with a smile, "Fat master, fat man, don't worry, no one will rob you."

Isn't that everyone curious?

This baby is distressed to shave, why don't we soak in water and try it? ”

The fat man's head shook like a wave drum, "That's not good, wood is the easiest to crack when soaked in water, can you afford to hurt my baby?" ”

The more he protected Xue Wu, the more unwilling he became, he really wanted Wang Fatzi to take away the emperor worth 200 million by hand, and he would have to regret it in the future.

You have to be credible in doing this, but you don't have to be so credible.

If the difference in value is several times that is missed by someone, it will naturally be ridiculed by peers.

But if this kind of person who has not gone out and has a sky-high price, no one should pretend to be generous, and it will make people say stupid if they are really taken away.

Thinking of this, Xue Wu beckoned, and immediately several guys surrounded him.

The fat man's eyes immediately showed a fierce light, "Fifth Master Xue, what are you doing here?"

This is a bit of a lack of morality. ”

Xue Wu smiled, "The fat master misunderstood, no matter how you say it, it's all something that went out from me, if you don't let me see it, I won't be able to sleep in the future."

I'm sorry for you to do a little bit of work, and check it. ”

The fat man also knew that he couldn't be tough in this matter, so he could only reluctantly throw the youngest mouse into the basin.

The wood carving sank directly to the bottom of the basin when it encountered water, and the fat man quickly fished it back and quickly wiped it on his clothes a few times.

"Alright, alright, see, see.

The rest of the things bothered the fifth master's people to help me get them into the shop.

Our uncle and nephew will not be accompanied. ”

Those people saw that the wood carving was sinking to the bottom and was snatched back by the fat man before they could react, but everyone also understood that this wood carving was indeed not an ordinary boxwood.

Not only Xue Wu's eyes were red, but there was no one present who was red-eyed.

Xue Wu couldn't care about pretending to be reserved anymore, and when he saw the fat man walk to the door, he immediately beckoned a group of people to surround him. ”
