Chapter 29 What you gave me the last few times was not of this level
After receiving the goods, Chen Jinyue rushed directly to the restaurant for lunch.
The place chosen by Zhou Yichuan.
Pushing open the door of the box, she was stunned for a few seconds. There were quite a lot of people there.
Zhou Yichuan, Chang Hongbo, Mr. Qian and a white-haired old man in his sixties or seventies who is in good spirits.
"Xiao Yue is here?" Mr. Qian greeted him warmly.
He was called by Zhou Yichuan, who asked him to help Chen Jinyue evaluate the situation.
When he met this young master in the county town two days ago, he had a hunch that he must be here for the thing in this girl's hand.
As expected.
Although I feel a little sad that I can’t eat alone in the future, I am also more looking forward to seeing some good things this time.
After all, the person who came today is not simple!
National first-class antique appraiser, Baozhai gold medal appraisal expert——
Xu Fengbao!
"Hello, Teacher Qian, hello, Teacher Xu." Chen Jinyue greeted them politely and modestly.
Xu Fengbao's eyebrows were gentle, and he smiled and replied, "Miss Chen, do you know me?"
Old Qian acted like an elder and introduced Chen Jinyue, "Xiaoyue is a student majoring in cultural relics appraisal at Peking University. You are a senior in the industry, so of course she knows you!"
Xu Fengbao nodded. "He's from Peking University. His future is limitless."
After a few pleasantries, the two old men's eyes fell on the big backpack Chen Jinyue was carrying.
Chen Jinyue understood, "The food hasn't been served yet, do you want to take a look at it first?"
Mr. Qian said without hesitation, "Okay, okay."
The box is very big.
In addition to the restaurant there is also a lounge area.
Several people went to the sofa in the rest area. Chen Jinyue took out the things in the bag one by one and placed them carefully on the coffee table.
The boxes were all very exquisite, with delicate carvings and excellent condition. Mr. Qian was so jealous that he turned into a citrus spirit on the spot.
"Little girl, what you gave me the last few times wasn't of this quality!"
Chen Jinyue smiled calmly, "I like these pieces myself. If I wasn't really short of money, I definitely wouldn't be willing to give them out."
Mr. Qian felt a little more balanced, then sighed helplessly.
It is also a sin.
Xu Fengbao was invited by Zhou Yichuan. He was only responsible for identifying things. He knew nothing about other things and was not interested in them.
Just seeing this box now was not simple. He looked more serious, took out the identification tools and white gloves, put them on carefully before opening the box.
The first one is the jade ruyi.
Xu Fengbao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh, "Good stuff!"
In ancient times, the emperor was called the true dragon emperor, and the things he used were also in the shape of a dragon.
But there are also differences among dragons.
Members of the royal family, such as the crown prince and other princes, are qualified to wear a bracelet with four claws, while the bracelet with five claws is exclusively owned by the emperor.
The jade ruyi in front of you, engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon, must be an imperial item.
After his shock and joy, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He took the identification tool and looked at it carefully for a few more times. Without asking any more questions, he put it down and opened the second box.
The second one is a green-glazed double fish washbasin.
The old man's cloudy eyes behind his glasses were even more excited. "The glaze is thick and not flowing, the color is clear and crisp like jade, and the style is elegant. It is indeed a workmanship far beyond this era!"
When he saw a jade ruyi, he was still not sure.
But after this brush washer was found, he became more certain of the identification results. Both items date back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Just the workmanship was far ahead of that era.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he said, "A while ago, a bracelet-shaped pendant appeared in the antique market. It's both functional and ornamental, but its exact age is unknown. Did it also come from you?"
Chen Jinyue nodded.
Things with unknown history do have a fatal attraction for these collectors and historians.
"right."
She nodded, "They are all inherited from our family."
Xu Fengbao looked at the little girl a few more times, then lowered his head and continued to open the third box.
The last inkstone he checked was the one that surprised Xu Fengbao the most.
He couldn't let go and touched it again and again, looked at it again and again, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and tears glistening in his cloudy eyes...
"You may not know that the culture of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties reached a peak in Chinese history. The inkstone was not just a tool, but also endowed with profound cultural connotations."
"This period can be said to be the stage of the inkstone's determination."
"Among the unearthed cultural relics, inkstones from the Wei Dynasty are rare, and there are only a few records of them in ancient books."
“…”
He introduced in a deep voice, his voice full of regret.
Mr. Qian was still conscientiously appraising a brush washer when he heard this and suddenly looked up. "Wei Shi's inkstone?!"
Xu Fengbao nodded, "Yes, that era can be basically determined!"
The texture is Qingzhou red silk stone.
The colors are gorgeous but not gaudy, the decorations are exquisite, the touch is like ointment, smooth but not slippery...but it had dried up by the end of the Song Dynasty.
Although there have been productions in various dynasties, the quantity has been quite scarce.
Mr. Qian carefully put down the brush washer and couldn't wait to take it and look at it.
Although this description is somewhat inappropriate, Zhou Yichuan and Chang Hongbo, two outsiders, inexplicably feel that the current image of these two industry giants is like a vicious dog eyeing a piece of meat.
"Be careful!"
Xu Fengbao held the inkstone in both hands, leaned forward slightly, and placed the thing under the other person's nose before reluctantly taking his hands away.
Mr. Qian held his reading glasses and a small flashlight, and looked at it carefully and happily for a long time.
After the surprise and excitement, his businessman nature returned. He looked at Chen Jinyue with extremely resentful eyes, "Your teacher must have said something bad about me in front of you, right?"
It must be!
Otherwise, how could she have only given him a few small items when she was so short of money?
I used to think I made a lot of money, but now I feel like I lost a lot.
My heart hurts so much!
It’s all that old guy Yan’s fault!
Chen Jinyue smiled awkwardly and said soothingly, "I'll keep the vase for you."
Mr. Qian, “…”
A little comfort, but not much.
This inkstone is worth everything he has collected.
Finally, there are two rectangular boxes containing two ancient paintings.
It is also very precious, but with the inkstone, a rare species, as an example, Xu Fengbao can appreciate it calmly.
The papers are from the same period, and the brushstrokes are natural and smooth, with unique charm, indicating that they are works of calligraphy from the same master.
But they had never heard of such a unique style and the author on the seal.
There is no biographical information about the author in historical documents.
"Since it is unknown history, it is normal that there are no records of these." Mr. Qian concluded thoughtfully.
Xu Fengbao nodded, "It's just a pity that such a noble and brilliant figure has left no trace in the long river of history."
As if infected by their regretful emotions, the atmosphere in the box became silent.
After a while, Xu Fengbao gave an estimate, which reached seven million.
Chen Jinyue was ecstatic.
She has another box of ancient paintings like this.
A whole box of seven million...
"I'll offer eight million!" This time, the person who intercepted the deal turned out to be Qian Lao.
However, unlike Zhou Yichuan who maliciously bid up the price last time, he really wanted it. "Mr. Zhou, this antique is most valuable because it's one-of-a-kind. The two pieces are of the same style. Can you give me one?"
