Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 29 Mr. Wang

Seeing that the old man was a transparent person, Chu Ning didn't hold back anymore, and straightforwardly took out the glazed petals she put in her backpack.

The old man didn't reach out to pick up the things in Chu Ning's hands, but put his hands behind his back and looked at him closely to avoid suspicion.

Chu Ning was afraid that his eyesight would be bad, so she handed the things forward specially.

The old man laughed at the first sight: "Although you are a little girl, you are sensible. My surname is Wang. At your age, calling me Grandpa Wang is not too much, right?"

This old man Wang was very fond of Chu Ning's temper, which reminded her of her deceased grandfather.Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Chu Ning was not polite, and just called out, "Hello, Grandpa Wang. My surname is Chu. You can call me Xiao Chu."

Mr. Wang nodded with a smile, and then he focused all his attention on the glazed petals in Chu Ning's hand.

He had already recognized that it was Liuli, but Chu Ning was negotiating business with Boss Xiao Ning before, and according to the rules of the Antique Street, no one else could intervene until the negotiation between the two of them was over.

Therefore, even if Mr. Wang recognized this thing, he had to wait in line behind Chu Ning if he wanted to buy it.

And since Chu Ning finally bought this glazed petal, then this thing has nothing to do with him.

Mr. Wang didn't quite know whether it was just a coincidence that Chu Ning bought this glazed petal, or if he really recognized it.

After all, Chu Ning is so young that it's hard to believe how profound her antique appraisal skills are.

The firing of colored glaze must be carried out at a high temperature of more than 1000 degrees, which is really difficult.Nowadays, the firing technique of colored glaze has been included in my country's national intangible cultural heritage list, which shows its status.

There are also many glazed crafts sold in the market in modern times, but no matter from the perspective of technology or art, modern glazed products are far inferior to ancient glazed objects.

The glazed petal that Chu Ning bought, although the whole body is only one kind of pink, looks very simple, but it is actually not easy to fire.

There are many common colored glazes, but most of them are black, white, blue, red and other colors.As for pink, it is relatively rare.

The rarer something is, the more difficult it is to burn it well.

What's more, the pink color in this glazed petal is not just a single kind, but gradually increases from light to dark, and the excess is so natural. When you hold it in your hand, it seems to be seeing a real lotus petal. There are even dewdrops on it looming in the sun, which is perfect.

This is clearly the performance of a piece of top quality colored glaze!

And looking at the craftsmanship, this glazed petal is most likely a product of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even a tribute specially made by the Inner Palace Supervisor for the court!
It's a pity that this is just a glazed petal, not a whole glazed lotus.

I don't know who was so ruthless that he was willing to break such a beautiful thing, and in the end only such a petal came out.

Mr. Wang sighed with the same regret as Chu Ning.

He could completely imagine in his mind how beautiful and moving the whole glazed lotus would be in its final state.

But even so, the value of this small glass petal is not low.

"Girl Chu, do you know what this thing you bought is exactly?" Mr. Wang asked a little thoughtfully.

Chu Ning smiled slyly: "Do you want to hear the truth, old man, or lie?"

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "You girl, you are really interesting. Tell me, what is the truth and what is the lie?"

"False, of course I would say that this is an ordinary piece of glass, worthless." Chu Ning said solemnly, "As for the truth...it's just a piece of colored glass, or a small piece taken from the whole glass." Part of it, even if it has some value, it will not be so high that people will be shocked."

Before she finished speaking, Mr. Wang was already taken aback!

Although he had already had some guesses in his heart before, when he really heard the word "Liu Li" from Chu Ning's mouth, he still felt a shock.

Unexpectedly, this girl surnamed Chu looks so young, but she actually has such good eyesight, that she can receive such an excellent piece of colored glaze at a small stall!

Even if it's just a colored glaze petal, it's still colored glaze!
"Chu girl, who is your master?" Mr. Wang couldn't help asking.

With such high eyesight at such a young age, it's no wonder this girl doesn't have a master!
I just don't know which colleague is able to teach such a powerful young disciple.

Chu Ning did not expect Mr. Wang to ask such a question.

She hesitated for a while, and finally replied: "I don't have a master. However, most of my knowledge of antiques comes from the teachings of my grandfather—Fang Taihe."

It turned out to be Fang Taihe!

Mr. Wang looked at Chu Ning in shock, and blurted out: "You are Fang Taihe's granddaughter?!"

Chu Ning was stunned.

Could it be that Mr. Wang knew Grandpa?

But this is also normal.

After all, her grandfather was also well-known in the antique world, and he had acquaintances all over the world back then.It's just that grandpa passed away for many years, and many people gradually forgot about him and never mentioned it again.

Looking at it now, if grandpa had not passed away, the old man Wang in front of him would be about the same age as grandpa.It would be more normal if the two knew each other.

"You know my grandfather?" Chu Ning asked.

Mr. Wang shook his head regretfully and said: "Fang Taihe was so famous in Hanzhou back then, how could I not know him? But unfortunately, I have been abroad for the past few years, and your grandfather is just a friendship with your grandfather. After I return to China , but your grandfather has passed away, which makes me deeply regretful!"

Chu Ning remained silent.

Grandpa's death was the greatest pain for her, no matter in her previous life or in this life.

"Since you are Fang Taihe's granddaughter, it's not surprising that you have such high eyesight." Mr. Wang sighed for a while, and looked at Chu Ning with a little more admiration and kindness as if he was treating his own junior. , "The value of these glazed petals is not low. You should collect them carefully. If you have the opportunity to find other petals in the future and reassemble them, it will be even more fortunate."

"Thank you for reminding me all the time. I'll make a note of it." Chu Ning said with a smile, "It's just that reorganization is optional, and I can only do my best."

Mr. Wang nodded, knowing that this kind of thing cannot be forced.

He looked at Chu Ning who was so humble and polite, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

Suddenly, Mr. Wang seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, I heard that Boguzhai has brought a good thing today, and people from the antique world are invited to appreciate it. Have you visited it?"
