Chapter 9 Accidental Discovery
Just looking at the workmanship of these two chairs, they can make people's eyes shine, but they still need to verify whether they are indeed made of red sandalwood.

The first thing to do is to observe its color and texture. We know that the surface material of red sandalwood furniture is noble purple red or purple black, the texture is not messy, the pattern is little or close to no texture and pattern, Venus golden silk or fine S-shaped curly cow hair Streaks are visible.

If you use a magnifying glass of 60-100 times, you can see that the tube holes are full of golden pterostilbene, just like the starry sky, the stars are shining.

Although these two chairs are works of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen from the appearance that the masters of all generations have preserved them fairly well. Although the surface is already a little off-white, it can still be seen vaguely Said characteristics.

In addition, the silky velvet-like curly pattern and the delicate and smooth skin-like feel of red sandalwood furniture cannot be replaced by other woods. Therefore, it can be concluded that the two five-screen armchairs are all made of red sandalwood.

In this way, both the pear blossom wooden table and the red sandalwood five-screen armchair are worth a lot, not to mention that the three pieces of furniture just form a set, and the value will increase a lot.

At this time, Uncle Li came back with two brocade boxes, one big and one small. He smiled and said to everyone, "How about it, do you like my set of furniture?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and the things were very good, but Mr. Li would not sell them separately, which was a bit difficult.

At this time, Zhao Qirui coughed, and said to the others with a smile on his face: "Leave me alone, I am not interested in furniture and the like this time, let's discuss it among you."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere among the people suddenly relaxed, and the next step would be easy, Zhao Xueyi was a stretcher, so there was no need to think about it, and although Uncle Wu liked it, let's not say that he couldn't raise that much money for a while, and he himself He is engaged in porcelain, so he loses a bit of confidence in competing with others.

Therefore, it is no surprise that this set of furniture belongs to Zhu Dafu.

However, Chu Chen also saw an episode during the period. After Zhao Qirui finished speaking just now, Qian Changxing next to him seemed to have the intention of buying, but Zhao Qirui stared at him and stopped talking.

After that, Qian Changxing felt a little resentful. Although the expression was fleeting, Zhao Qirui was the boss of a large company, and he had sharp eyes, so he saw it, and then he looked at Qian Changxing with even more dissatisfaction.But Qian Changxing didn't seem to realize this.

Chu Chen sneered in his heart and said, "This Qian Changxing is really an idiot, he is too self-important, no wonder he is hated by Uncle Wu and the others."

After that, while they were negotiating the price, Chu Chen looked at the room.

This room should be a place specially used by Uncle Li to store antiques. It was cleaned very clean, but now it can be said to be empty except for the three pieces of furniture just now. The collectors are gone.

When his eyes swept over one corner of the wall, Chu Chen found that there was actually a Buddha statue there, which made him a little curious.However, because the lights there were dim, Chu Chen couldn't see clearly standing there, so he went there to observe closely.

However, after looking at it, Chu Chen felt very disappointed. The height of this Buddha statue is less than forty centimeters. It is a common shape of Buddha sitting on a lotus platform. The whole body is carved with ordinary camphor wood. Its patina and carving techniques should be an object in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, so it is no wonder that it is placed in the corner here.

But since you've seen it, let's watch it thoroughly. When Chu Chen wanted to turn the Buddha statue around, his mind moved.It turned out that his left hand suddenly felt that there were actually two breaths in the body of the Buddha statue.

Needless to say, it should belong to the Buddha statue itself, and there is also a breath, which made Chu Chen wonder, could it be that there is something hidden in the Buddha statue?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen did not hesitate, and immediately activated his ability. Sure enough, two breaths were sucked into his left hand, one was short and very weak, and the other was long and very strong. Among the breaths he has felt so far, it is the most powerful.

This immediately lifted Chu Chen's spirit, and he began to examine the Buddha statue carefully, but he didn't see any problems inside and out, which is normal. If it is so easy to see, then It won't be here anymore.

But at this time, the price on one side has almost been negotiated. Seeing their current behavior, they may guess that there is something wrong with this Buddha statue, so they have to act quickly. Let's talk when we get it.

Maybe it was luck, Chu Chen immediately used the magnification, and saw a very small seam at the junction of the Buddha statue and the lotus platform, which was basically invisible to the naked eye. This should be the problem.So he took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up the Buddha statue and walked towards the crowd.

At this time, Zhu Dafu had already negotiated the price with Uncle Li. In the end, Zhu Dafu got this set of precious furniture at a price of 45. Both parties should be satisfied with this price, as can be seen from the smiles on their faces out.

After putting the Buddha statue on the ground, Chu Chen touched the back of his head and said to Uncle Li with a naive smile: "Old Li, my mother believes in Buddhism, and I usually don't have the money to buy her a better Buddha statue. I happened to see such a statue, I think she would like it, can you please let me go back and show my filial piety?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, especially a strange look flashed in Uncle Wu's eyes, and Zhao Qirui was even more disappointed, and then everyone began to look at the Buddha statue.I saw that the material of this Buddha statue should be ordinary camphor wood, and the carver is also ordinary. Fortunately, it is an object from the late Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as an old object. It is not bad for ordinary people to worship.

Uncle Li looked at the Buddha statue, then at Chu Chen, and then said, "This Buddha statue is what my grandfather got back then." Having said that, he paused, then looked at Chu Chen, but Chu Chen's face There was still a simple and honest smile on his face, and he didn't notice anything unusual. He was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that he should be worrying too much.

So he smiled again and said, "However, no one in our family believes in Buddhism anymore. Since you are so filial, let you go back."

Chu Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. When Uncle Li stared at him just now, he was so nervous that his emotions almost showed on his face, but fortunately he controlled it in the end.Suppressing his excitement, Chu Chen smiled and thanked Uncle Li with a hint of gratitude, and finally got the Buddha statue at a price of 1000 yuan.

At this time, Qian Changxing on the side said contemptuously: "Wu Ziping, your nephew has very low taste. He even wants such an ordinary Buddha statue. Does it mean that it has never been seen in the market? Shall I introduce one to you?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly extremely awkward, and a trace of anger rose in everyone's heart.

Needless to say, Chu Chen and the others had a bad impression of him at first.First of all, these words offended Uncle Li. He just said that this Buddha statue was obtained by his grandfather. If you say that, doesn't that mean that his grandfather has no taste?How can this not make Uncle Li angry!
On the other hand, Zhao Qirui is angry that Qian Changxing speaks regardless of the occasion, you don't deal with the other party, and you can compete on another occasion, but now you are the appraiser invited by Zhao Qirui, representing my position, and you speak like this, not for nothing Are you causing me trouble for no reason?
Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Qian Changxing immediately realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and he felt annoyed for a while. Why couldn't he hold back the anger in his heart after not seeing Wu Ziping for a few years? Does Wu Ziping not fit with him? , It's really bad luck.

Seeing this situation, Qian Changxing stepped aside with embarrassment.

Zhao Qirui coughed, broke the embarrassing situation, and said to Uncle Li: "Hehe, Mr. Li, what kind of treasures are in your two boxes? How about it, let's open our eyes?"

Mr. Li greeted a few words with a smile on his face, opened the box, everyone looked at it, and immediately exclaimed.

These two boxes are one big and one small, and the small box contains a bucket color bowl.

Doucai, also known as teasing color, is a porcelain decoration method combining underglaze blue and white and overglaze color.Doucai porcelain was created and fired in the JDZ kiln during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.It is famous all over the world for its novel decoration and elegant color, and it is a major achievement in the history of my country's ceramic technology.

It is a combination of underglaze blue and white and overglaze five colors, and they are decorated together on the same porcelain surface, forming an artistic expression of underglaze blue and overglaze five colors competing with each other, which is very artistic and ornamental.

This color bucket bowl is decorated with blue and white Sanskrit characters on the inner edge and outer edge with clouds and dragons playing with beads respectively.

Judging from its patina, fetal quality, painting workmanship, glaze color, etc., it should be a doucai bowl imitating Ming Dynasty doucai porcelain in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

And in that big brocade box, there is an exquisite white jade Ruyi with eight auspicious patterns. It is this Ruyi that arouses everyone's amazement.

Ruyi is a kind of utensil symbolizing auspiciousness in ancient my country, which evolved from the ancient tickling.The earliest Ruyi, the end of the handle is in the shape of a finger, to show that the hand can't reach it, and it can be scratched, so it is called Ruyi.Later, it gradually evolved into a "Wat" (also known as Chaohu) for recording events, and finally evolved into a pure display and curio, and became the current Ruyi.

This wishful piece is about forty centimeters long and is carved from a whole piece of Hetian white jade. It is huge in size, smooth in jade quality, soft and winding in shape, exquisitely carved and polished, making it a rare treasure.

The Ruyi head is in the shape of Ganoderma lucidum, and the edge starts to follow the shape.In the inner and middle bas-reliefs of the word longevity, surrounded by the four treasures of umbrellas, lotus flowers, pan intestines, and goldfish.

The dome of the Ruyi handle contains the three treasures of white cover, vase, and magic conch, and the tail of the handle contains cockroaches and bats.The front and back of the handle are alternated with cloud patterns, floating and wanton.This Ruyi carved pattern is clear and clear, and the auspicious meanings are all present, which is the style of the palace utensils.
