The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di's successful misfortune led a group of people to recall Chang Linlin's record. If Wu Di still has a certain level, Chang Linlin is purely a gambler. The experts are all compared.The fat man became suspicious and asked:

"You mean, this stone can really talk?"

Chang Linlin's laughter was crisp,

"Haha, I lied to you! I just bought it because I saw that this stone was pleasing to the eye, or that stone was not pleasing to the eye. Who knew it would be like this, it turns out that gambling on stones is so easy."

The fat man almost vomited blood, easy?My sister-in-law, do you know how many people lost their fortunes and lost their wives because of gambling?

There is a flight to Pengcheng in the evening, and only business class seats are available. Of course, it is hard for Mr. Zhong Si, who swiped Wu Di's card smartly. Who made this kid rich now?I don't even sit in economy class!What is hidden in the big whiteboard that this kid said he would give me?Later, I will ask Linlin carefully to see if she feels anything.

It's already eleven o'clock when the class arrived at Pengcheng Airport. The weather here is much hotter than in Spring City. Linlin regretted it as soon as she landed. Why did she forget about it? August is the hottest time of the year in Hong Kong. You said this What are you doing to join in the fun?

At the airport pick-up gate, there were people waiting with passes. As soon as they received them, they arranged to board the car and take them to a hotel in Luohu to rest. In the morning of tomorrow, they could walk to Luohu Port in half an hour.When he arrived at the hotel, Yang Yanzhi was already waiting in the lobby. The girl knew the news and couldn't wait for even a moment. If Chang Linlin didn't stop her, she might have seen her at the airport.

Now that he was relieved from playing Zhongqi, on the car leaving the airport, Chang Linlin blamed him for going to Hong Kong to be exposed to the sun, causing his arm to be ravaged a lot.

Early the next morning, as soon as the Luohu Port opened, Yang Yanzhe drove the three of them to Hong Kong. This girl's car had license plates from both provinces and Hong Kong, but Hong Kong drives on the left, so driving in Luohu is somewhat It's awkward, once you get out of the port, it's like a fish in water.

Yang Yanzi didn't intend to find them a hotel at all, and drove straight to his family's mansion in the mid-levels of Hong Kong.Zhong Qi looked at the small buildings hidden among the green trees on Panshan Road, and sighed:

"This is the life of capitalism, Xiao Wu, you have to persevere, don't be corrupted!"

"Tch, I've heard of many great and glorious deeds by Shao Zhong Si, do you want me to show you?"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I bought a piece of jade in Ruili and said it was given to my younger sister Ziyi. Look at this name, I forgot it in the hotel!"

Yang Yanzhe's grandfather and her parents lived in the middle of the mountain. Yang Yanzhe was obviously very favored at home. The muscular old man Yang laughed and came out to welcome Wu Di and the others. There is no way to shake his head.

Chang Linlin took out an exquisitely packaged gift box as if by magic, handed it to the servant beside her, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa knew that I was going to see Grandpa Yang, so he asked me to bring you a little gadget. Grandpa Yang also asked you to come and see him!"

"Okay, I'm afraid that stubborn old man scolded me for not seeing him in the past two years, hahahaha."

Zhong Qi doesn't know much about the Yang family, so Wu Di knows even less. He only knows that he is a well-known businessman in Hong Kong. His business involves department stores, real estate, finance and other fields. Now Yang Yanzhi's father is at the helm.Mr. Yang is also fond of antiques, and his level is still very high. He has a great status in Hong Kong's antique industry.Yang Yanzhe also has an older brother. It is said that like the Chang family, there is only one girl in the third generation.Zhong Qi joked that if Wu Di married Yang Yanzhi, he could retire directly.

Sitting in the living room, Mr. Yang asked a few words about Mr. Chang's recent situation. Wu Di responded carefully, Mr. Yang said with a smile:

"Brother Chang told you to look at my collection yesterday, but Xiao Wu, my collection is not so easy to see!"

Wu Di's eyes lit up, and he could replenish a lot of energy for Tianshu again!Hearing that there are still conditions, not only smiled confidently, but said:

"It's okay, the process of the exam is also learning. As for whether you can see it or not, it doesn't matter. It's my blessing to see it. If I can't see it, it proves that I haven't finished my studies yet. Just keep working hard."

"Oh, you know there is a test?"

"I guess, Master is like this."

"Hahahaha, it seems that we will change the problem next time. This old trick has been seen through."

"grandfather……"

"Okay, don't talk about this, don't talk about this. You go out to play, remember to come back early at night, and stay here! Anyone who has an opinion, I will turn my face! Xiaowu, let's not worry, Brother Chang told you to rest assured, in a few days Tian will come to Beijing with me."

Yang Yanzhi took Chang Linlin to go shopping, of course, Zhong Qi was arrested as an errand, and the three of them threw Wu Di to the intersection of Moro Street without any morale. They made an appointment to have lunch together, and then walked away.

Wu Di shook his head, strolled into Moro Street, and began to look for antique shops with elegant characters.

As an oriental antique collection and distribution center, Hong Kong has become a concentration of antiques in Southeast Asia and even connecting Europe and America due to its special geographical and political location. A large number of antiques are traded here every year.In addition to formal auction houses, Hong Kong also has folk antique trading venues similar to Chaotian Palace in Ningcheng, Confucius Temple, and Panjiayuan in Beijing.Located on the west side of Central, the small blocks of Le Ancient Road, Hollywood Road, and Lascar Street are the concentration of folk antique dealers in Hong Kong.

Before the last century, a large number of domestic cultural relics and antiques flowed from the mainland to the rest of the world through legal or illegal means, and many of them were deposited in the antique market or collectors in Hong Kong.

Located on Moro Street and Hollywood Boulevard in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, the antique market is the largest antique market in Hong Kong.There are thousands of shops gathered here, and each shop is not big, but there are quite a lot of items.In addition to many Ming and Qing porcelains that we are familiar with, a wide variety of artworks from Southeast Asian countries is also one of its characteristics, and the price is also higher than that in China.Of course, similar to the mixed situation in the domestic antique market, Hong Kong's antiques are also mixed with genuine and fake ones, but the proportion may be slightly better than that in China.The ones who came to choose are also all kinds of skins, showing the international characteristics that are completely different from the Hong Kong and mainland markets.

The first shop that Wu Di saw was a small shop mainly focusing on Thai handicrafts. Chiang Mai, Thailand is world-renowned for its handicrafts, mainly including exquisite products such as wood carvings, lacquerware, silverware, rattan wares and bamboo wares.Wu Di looked at it for a while, most of them were modern products, and he was not interested in the things of these small countries, so he turned and walked away.

Moro Street is divided into Moro Upper Street and Lower Street.Go east along Hollywood Road to the end, and you will arrive at the Moro Street Market. The entire street is about 200 meters long, and more than 30 antique shops have opened in the narrow alleys.It specializes in selling all kinds of oriental antiques, including Chinese antique porcelain, jewelry, silk products, coins, Western gramophones and other unique handicrafts. It is full of small stalls selling small antiques, including jade, ceramics, bronze Buddhas, bronze tripods, Gold and stone calligraphy and painting, gold lacquer woodware... some scattered and small items such as old watches, old pens, old telephones, Mickey Mouse, Barbie dolls and other Western gadgets are all displayed on the shelves. You can also buy silk, embroidery, jade and wood. products.

Wu Di strolled around, paying attention to the name of the shop.Here, he has a feeling of returning to Panjiayuan, but most of the passers-by can't understand what they say, but looking at the dazzling array of goods on both sides of the narrow street and listening to the hodgepodge of various languages, being in it, there is something special. taste.

Seeing a shop selling seals, Wu Di walked in. Jadeite, Dushan jade, Hetian jade, agate, chicken blood stone, Tianhuang stone... Seals of various materials were placed on the entire wall, with countless shapes.Wu Di took a look and asked:

"I don't know if there are any Tianhuang stone carvings, the theme of which is more suitable for birthday celebrations?"

The boss shook his head and said with a smile:

"Sir, it is not necessary to have a stone carving to celebrate the birthday of an old man. It is also very good to give a seal. You see, this bloodstone stamp has a blood content of more than 50.00%. It is a rare boutique in recent years. This piece of Tianhuang stone ..."

After listening to the boss's introduction in Mandarin, English and Cantonese, Wu Di left politely, and then walked into a small shop selling wood carving products. There are small pieces of small-leaf red sandalwood carvings. Wu Di was thinking about whether to buy two pieces to take home as a gift, when he was suddenly attracted by a big guy leaning against the wall.

It was a woodblock New Year's picture engraving, and the appearance was very new, but it must be an old object.

The woodblock New Year pictures in Zhuxian Town, Bianliang is the originator of Chinese woodblock New Year pictures.It is mainly distributed in Bianliang, Zhuxian Town and its surrounding areas. In addition, the New Year paintings of Yangliuqing in Jincheng, Taohuawu in Sucheng, and the Kite Capital of Lu Province are all affected by it.It has the characteristics of exquisite color, thick and bright colors, long-lasting fading, strong contrast, simple and rough, full and compact, and strong generalization.Using traditional techniques to compose the picture, the picture has main and secondary, the objects are obvious, and the characters in the scene are arranged skillfully, showing the aesthetic feeling of uniformity and symmetry.This engraving has the main features of Zhuxian Town woodblock New Year paintings.

According to historical records, woodblock New Year pictures may have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, popularized in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The themes of New Year pictures are very rich.This piece is the god of martial arts, in the shape of two generals, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde.

Wu Di stepped forward to check carefully, but couldn't recognize which dynasty it belonged to.When the boss saw that Wu Di was interested, he came up to introduce him.

"Sir, this is the engraving of the New Year pictures of Zhuxian Town in the Ming Dynasty. It may be the only one that can be preserved so well. Zhuxian Town, do you know? It is the place where Yue Fei fought against Jin Wushu..."

"Boss, are you sure it's from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, of course I can. It looks like a big door opener, and there is a certificate of authenticity here, look!"

Wu Di glanced at it. This thing costs 30 yuan a piece, and it can be found everywhere. If you play antiques, you believe this, just wait for the money to be sent to other people's pockets.However, this engraving plate is at least from the early Qing Dynasty. The carving style is rough and vigorous, the composition is full, and the shape is exaggerated, which is in line with the characteristics of that period.And what the boss said is very reasonable, there are really not many such well-preserved ones.It is a nice collection.

"How to sell?"

Wu Di decided to ask about the price, and if it was suitable, he would buy it back and give it to Mr. Yang.
