Play treasure master

Chapter 32 Castiglione

"I haven't thought about it yet." Yu Yao said honestly.He even has the heart to collect this thing, after all, it is a blue and white piece from Xuande official kiln.It's a pity that it's broken, and it's best to collect it in its entirety.

However, it is still possible to not shoot for the time being and let the bullets suffocate in the barrel for a while.

Lao Zhou was a sensible person, nodded his head, and didn't ask any more questions.

The tea was almost finished, and Huang Yongyi's mood eased a lot.

Today's antique shops are no different than before. There are fewer and fewer authentic items, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find leaks, but eye-catching is a common thing.

Bought fakes at a high price. This kind of piercing is also called taking medicine. It is not easy to grow without taking medicine a few times.

And like Lao Huang, he took the real thing and let it out again. This kind of punching is also called "treasure".The two brothers, one fat and one thin, sold good things at a low price, also known as treasures.

At the same time, Huang Yongyi really wanted to make friends with Yu Yao at the moment, "It's almost time for dinner, I'll be a little Dong tonight, let's have a drink together."

"Okay!" Pu Jie was excited, and agreed with one gulp.

Lao Zhou smiled, "Boss Huang, I think it's better to let Yu Yao hire him, he is the big one today."

In fact, it's just a meal, and it doesn't matter who invites you.Because Lao Zhou has a good relationship with Huang Yongyi, he was afraid that Yu Yao would not want to go, so he played a cautious role.If you want to say that others do not invite guests, that is being polite; but if you do not invite them, that is being stingy.

"Yes, I'll do it." Yu Yao replied.

"How can this be possible!" Huang Yongyi waved his hand immediately, "The main reason is that I still have something, and it happens that there are so many people today, and everyone palms their eyes together. Shouldn't I invite it after we're done?"

If it was just a friend he had just met, Yu Yao might not be willing to palm his eyes.But today Huang Yongyi missed a good thing, and Yu Yao picked it up; although it was all based on his eyesight, which is the way of antique books, but Yu Yao was somewhat embarrassed.

"Could it be porcelain again?" Yu Yao asked.

"No, it's a painting."

"Boss Huang's Yimozhai is mainly engaged in calligraphy and painting. Do you still use me to make a fool of yourself?"

"It's a little complicated here. Besides, I've convinced Boss Yu. You are young and talented, and you can eat all kinds of antiques!"

Old Zhou Yi heard that there was something to watch, so he stood up directly, "Let's go then? It's getting late!"

People who don't like playing with antiques may not be easy to understand the mood of players. When they hear something, especially good things, they are often in a hurry.

The four left the teahouse and came to Yimo Studio in the Qixing Bridge Antique Market.

Yimozhai's store is connected by two front rooms, and the scale is slightly larger.Moreover, the two guys in Huang Yongyi's store are both girls, not to mention their pretty looks, and they are very talkative.Yimozhai's business is really good.

Leading the three of them into the inner room, Huang Yongyi closed the door and took out a picture frame from the large cabinet.

When it was taken out, the picture frame was behind Yu Yao's back, but when Yu Yao saw it, the picture frame was made of iron wood, and it was carved with ruyi patterns on the side.This is rare, because iron wood is very hard, and in the traditional furniture in the past, there is not much carving.

The back of the frame is also ebony.The entire picture frame is dark in tone, giving people a very solemn feeling.

This picture frame is more than two feet high and one and a half feet wide. From Yu Yao's perspective, it looks like an old frame.

"You are all experts, so I won't say much, let's see first." Huang Yongyi raised his hand and turned the picture upwards, and put it flat on the coffee table.

Yu Yao took a look, no wonder even Huang Yongyi was uncertain.Because strictly speaking, this is not a traditional Chinese painting, but a work that combines Chinese and Western painting methods.

In the center of the picture, there are two golden pheasants on the rocks, the colors are strong and bright, and the surroundings are full of beautiful flowers, with green grasses and green silk, and butterflies fluttering in the middle.

Inscribed in the corner of the picture: Splendid embroidered picture of spring, painted by minister Lang Shining Gong.There are also two small seals below, the white text is "Chen Lang", and the Zhu text is "Shi Ning".

This seal is actually a bit awkward, how can it be removed like this? "Chen Lang Shining" should be printed on one side.Even if one of you is a "subject" and the other is a "Lang Shining".

But the fact is that this is the case, and these two seals are normal and testable.Castiglione is a foreigner, maybe he has a special way of thinking.

"Lang Shining's painting?" Pu Jie couldn't help opening his mouth.

Not to mention them, even outsiders generally know Lang Shining's name.

He is an Italian with a "green card" from the Qing Dynasty. He came to the capital to preach when he was in his twenties, and later entered the imperial palace and entered the Ruyi Pavilion.During the Kangxi Dynasty, the Ruyi Pavilion was mainly used to research and display Western scientific and technological achievements. In the Qianlong Dynasty, it became a workshop of the Manufacturing Office.

Castiglione stayed in the palace of the Qing Dynasty for more than 50 years. After Kang, Yong, Qian and Qing Dynasties, he finally died in the capital and was buried in the capital.

Foreign monks can chant scriptures, and this foreigner is more famous among court painters than many Chinese people; he knows Western painting, and also learned Chinese painting, so he explored a way used in Western painting and created a new way. His painting method is known as "Lang Shining's new body painting".

After seeing this painting, Lao Zhou couldn't help but frown.

Because, although Lang Shining is a court painter with many works, very few of them have flowed into the folk.In addition to the collections of the Forbidden City, they are basically found in major museums around the world.

As for the few paintings of Castiglione who have appeared in auctions, basically none of them are less than ten million.As for the famous "Pleasure in the Old Summer Palace", nearly 20 years ago, it was sold for a sky-high price of over [-] million yuan, which shocked the collectors at that time.

Old Zhou couldn't help but glance at Yu Yao.

Yu Yao squeezed his chin, "Boss Huang, is this frame not the original frame?"

Huang Yongyi nodded, "It's really not. When I got this painting, the original frame was damaged, and it was very bad. Basically, there was only the heart of the painting, so I asked someone to repair and trim the edges. This picture frame was collected before. I think it is an old thing, the size is suitable, and the picture and the frame match, it is quite beautiful."

"This is a silk book, and it also has the delicate painting techniques of Western paintings..." Yu Yao pondered, "Can you take it apart and let me see the back of the silk book?"

"What's wrong with this?" Huang Yongyi said, picked up the frame, carefully opened the small clips around the back panel, and then took off the back panel.

Yu Yao then began to look at the back of the painting.Lao Zhou leaned over, "You can see carefully enough!"

"Well, you have to look carefully at this painting." Yu Yao replied, "The silk is old silk, not old-fashioned."

Huang Yongyi said from the side, "Yes, I have also studied this."

"Okay, you don't need to look at the back." Yu Yao exhaled, left the table, and after a little thought, "Boss Huang, what do you think of the paint?"

Huang Yongyi replied: "I think it's an old paint, it should be fine, but it seems a bit too smooth, and it hasn't peeled off at all. However, if it is properly protected, it is only 300 years old, and it is okay."

　Thank you for your support.If you feel that it is not fat enough, you can add bookshelves to raise it first.
