The three hundred and twentieth chapters appreciate the elegance of the previous dynasty
Everyone was stunned at this time. They did not expect that two top-quality diamonds, one black and one white, would fall out of this inconspicuous boxwood sculpture.
The black diamonds are square, simple and thick, but the most eye-catching one is the white diamond, which is round, dazzling and too big.
Not to mention the onlookers, even the staff sent by Yan Jingsheng were dumbfounded. They did not expect that this wood carving actually contained hidden treasures.
The old man picked up two diamonds and said calmly and calmly: "This statue is the legendary ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi. This immortal is the best at the magic of the universe.
The universe represents the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the sky is round and the earth is round, so the round white diamond represents the sky and the square black diamond represents the earth. This is the universe in the sleeve!"
Damn it!! Everyone was yelling at each other and didn’t know what to say. Some people even jumped out of regret. Just now, someone clearly liked wood carvings, but was frightened away by the price of 100,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, he had something up his sleeve.
Qiankun!
The value of such a large diamond is immeasurable, and it is not simply calculated based on the market carat.
This antique shop is a painful experience, but missing out on a real treasure is even more painful. The feeling is indescribable, as if you have won a lottery ticket and lost it.
"Mr. Zhang, are you the deputy director of the Jiangnan Museum, Mr. Zhang Chen?" At this time, someone in the crowd recognized the old man. Seeing the old man nodding slightly, everyone was in awe and felt a little better.
Not everyone is qualified to pick up leaks. Since you have luck and good eyesight, the most important thing is the cultural heritage behind you. Therefore, if this real treasure was picked up by the curator of the museum, people are not unbalanced. After all,
He is a top expert and has been studying antiques his whole life.
However, it didn't matter that it was discovered by an old expert, but on the other side, a young man also made a major discovery.
Naturally, the young man is not a big connoisseur, but rather a layman. He is a second-generation entrepreneur from an auction house in this city. He is here solely to please Yan Jingsheng and Sai Bao to recruit a bride.
So in order to advance to the real Saibao Club, I just bought a work by Yan Jingsheng at a large price. It is a retro music box with a little person dancing ballet. To be honest, it is very ordinary. It does not cost more than ten yuan in those toy stores.
money.
The young man came here to seek bribes in disguise, and this method of bribery was naturally to use the most money to buy the most rubbish goods, so he spent 80,000 yuan to buy this thing that was not even worth 20 yuan.
Therefore, after receiving the money and goods, he didn't care and hid aside and fiddled with it casually. Normally, the clockwork was wound clockwise, but this guy absentmindedly wound it the other way around, making it counterclockwise.
After letting go, the music started playing, which not only startled him, but also surprised the people around him.
The music box was not the usual jingling music, but Sanskrit music, which sounded like the Great Compassion Mantra.
What's even more amazing is that the ballet dancer actually lowered to the music, and a small and exquisite jade Guanyin rose up.
The exquisite Jade Guanyin is carved from jasper, verdant and lifelike. It holds a jade bottle in one hand and a willow branch in the other. It rotates slowly with the sound of Sanskrit, looking around in all directions, always obeying all living beings, and showing mercy to all living beings.
.
This exquisite design is really amazing, even more shocking than the world in the sleeve just now. This is not about how valuable the treasure is, but this
The craftsman's craftsmanship is superb.
"Master Yan's works are really extraordinary." Everyone praised in unison.
Old man Lin's face turned red with excitement and his whole body trembled: "Look, look, this is the fun of Taobao. It depends not only on your eyesight, but also on luck. It's like scratching a lottery, you might be able to get it."
Liu Jianfeng snorted and smiled, full of disdain.
Whether it is scratching or this kind of treasure hunting method, they are all controlled by humans. Do you understand the probability and understand the probability? What's more, for things like antiques and treasures, nine out of ten are
If it is fake, it will be frowned upon by the experts, but it will simply cost the layman his life.
If you really want to try your luck, go to the antique market or go to the street stalls. If you are really lucky, you can buy a urinal. It may have been used by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
This kind of luck would have been possible in forty years, but now, on the contrary, it is very likely that the antique you bought is actually a urinal.
But in front of me, these two lottery winners, one is really a great expert, the other is a piece of shit luck, which represent the two major characteristics of the antique shop.
Old man Lin said excitedly: "Assistant Liu, please give it a try. Buy something and put it in Zirou's office as a mascot to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth."
"Okay." Liu Jianfeng nodded: "I'll take a look too."
Old man Lin immediately excitedly dragged him around to shop for goods. He had limited pocket money, only around a million, but Liu Jianfeng was authorized by Lin Zirou, so he could use this to test his own vision and luck.
The old man kept chattering in Liu Jianfeng's ear: "Look at this ink painting, the ink is elegant and the layout is dense. It should be imitated by Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", but the scenery is more distinct. It is obviously a famous artist.
Handwriting...
Yes, this is not suitable to be hung in Zirou’s office. How about taking a look at this blue and white porcelain vase. According to my observation, this is probably a porcelain from Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty. When you look at the celadon, is there a kind of mountain green color waiting for mist and rain?
The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river, enjoying the elegant feeling of the previous dynasty?"
The old man almost stopped singing as he talked, and Liu Jianfeng had black lines all over his head. Even if he knew little about antiques, he still knew that this azure-glazed Ru kiln was specially built for Song Huizong and the royal family, and each one is now a national treasure.
Level, how come it appears here? I'm afraid I don't even have it in the museum.
This old man is just being taken advantage of. What the antique shop is most afraid of is pretending to know something, so you must not listen to him.
Of course, Liu Jianfeng himself knows nothing about antiques and curios, but he has traveled far and wide and is well-informed. This is not only better than Old Man Lin, but even better than many experts.
Because a lot of expert knowledge comes from books and other documents, and Liu Jianfeng has seen many treasures with his own eyes, and even many tomb objects.
So when he heard someone next to him talking about the topic of "underworld artifacts", he was full of disdain. Some people thought that underworld artifacts were treasures in tombs, but in fact they were not at all.
The ancients believed that the deceased was the greatest, the deceased was the most respected, and everything that died was the same as life. Therefore, after the death of the princes and nobles, they usually buried their beloved things with them and let them take them away.
, that is to say, things used by the deceased during his lifetime are called funerary objects.
The underworld weapon refers to something that the deceased liked when he was alive. This thing is gone or cannot be taken away, so
Things that are specifically imitated and made specifically for the dead are called underworld weapons.
Moreover, most of the time, people know that they are for the dead, so the artifacts are often crudely made, just like going to a grave to burn newspapers to fool ghosts.
Liu Jianfeng had performed a mission before, which was to protect the imperial mausoleum.
That was not a famous emperor in history, but just a grass-headed king in troubled times. But the more powerful a self-proclaimed king, the more treasures he has in his hands, because most of these people make their fortune by burning, killing, and looting.
, Enjoy crazily during your lifetime and reap benefits for yourself, regardless of the flood after your death.
Therefore, there are many rare treasures in this tomb, and our dynasty has regulations that prohibit the opening of imperial tombs, even King Caotou. They can only be protected but not excavated.
But there is news that the tomb has been targeted by a group of tomb robbers, and there may even be foreign forces involved. Liu Jianfeng was ordered to guard the imperial tomb and catch the thieves.
Unfortunately, they received the news too late. When they arrived, the thieves had already drilled a hole and got in. Liu Jianfeng did not dare to neglect and followed him in, for fear that the thieves would violently destroy the tomb.
The tomb was originally the resting place of the dead. He easily subdued several tomb robbers and waited for the archaeologists to come. He also walked around the tomb.
After the real imperial mausoleums were developed into scenic spots, he also visited them, but those mausoleums of orthodox emperors were not as luxurious as the mausoleum of King Caotou. Not to mention all kinds of treasures and ritual vessels, there were actually living people buried in this tomb.
I am truly the king of men and landlords in this world, and I am free and at ease.
But Liu Jianfeng was a step too late at that time. King Caotou's coffin had already been opened, revealing the coffin carved into the shape of a palace. He really knew how to enjoy it, and he wanted to live in a palace even after he died.
Moreover, his coffin carved into the shape of a palace made Liu Jianfeng very curious at the time. He observed it carefully. Later, when the archaeologists came in for protective excavation, they even specifically told him about it.
At this moment, in this exhibition, Liu Jianfeng discovered something similar, a wooden box in the corner!
The wooden box was placed in the corner. It was very inconspicuous, gray and almost rotten. It should be used by the staff to transport these treasures.
Liu Jianfeng walked over and took a closer look, and then asked the staff: "Are all the items in the venue available for selection today?"
The staff immediately nodded and said: "This is natural, all items are available for purchase."
"Okay, then I want this box!" Liu Jianfeng suddenly pointed to the box in the corner, surprising everyone.
No one cared about this rotten wooden box at all, and it was not a curio on display at all. It was just a tool for transportation. It was thrown in the corner because it was out of the way.
Wandering among the dazzling array of treasures, even the beauties present had no time to notice, not to mention that someone actually wanted to buy this rotten wooden box.
People were initially dismissive, thinking that someone was trying to please others, but Mr. Lin was so angry that he just told him if he didn't want to spend money, so as not to embarrass himself.
But what was surprising next was that the staff member panicked and said, "Sir, are you sure you want to buy this wooden box?"
"Yes." Liu Jianfeng nodded firmly.
