Chapter 9

These two chairs just look at the workmanship, you can see a bright, but still need to verify whether it is really made for red sandalwood.

First of all, we should look at the color and texture. We know that the surface material of red sandalwood furniture has a noble purple red or purple black color. The texture is not disordered, and the pattern is little or close to no texture and pattern. Venus gold wire or fine S-shaped curly ox hair pattern can be seen.

If you use a 60-100 times magnifying glass, you can see that the tube hole is filled with gold red sandalwood, just like the starry sky, the stars twinkle.

Although these two chairs are works of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen from the appearance that the owners of different generations have preserved them fairly well. Although the surface is a little gray, we can still see the characteristics mentioned above.

In addition, the curly lines of red sandalwood furniture and the delicate and smooth hand feel like skin can not be replaced by other wood, so it can be concluded that the two five screen armchairs are made of red sandalwood.

In this way, both the pear blossom wooden table and the red sandalwood five screen armchair are valuable. Besides, three pieces of furniture just make up a set, and the value will rise a lot.

At this time, Uncle Li came back with two brocade boxes, one big and one small. He said to everyone with a smile, "how do you like my furniture?"

We had a look at each other. The things are very good, but Uncle Li won't sell them separately. It's a bit difficult.

At this time, Zhao Qirui coughed and said to other people with a smile: "don't worry about me. I'm not interested in furniture this time. Let's discuss it between you."

At the end of the speech, the atmosphere among the people suddenly relaxed, and then it was easy to do. Zhao Xueyi was a fiber puller, so there was no need to think about it. Although Uncle Wu liked it, first of all, he couldn't get so much money at the moment, and he was a porcelain maker, so he had less confidence to fight with others.

Therefore, it is no surprise that the furniture belongs to Zhu Dafu.

However, during the period, Chu Chen also saw an episode. After Zhao Qirui finished just now, Qian Changxing around him seemed to have the intention to buy. As a result, Zhao Qirui's eyes glared and he wanted to stop talking.

After that, Qian Changxing was a little resentful. Although his expression was fleeting, Zhao Qirui was the boss of a large company. He saw his eyes with his hot eyes. Later, when he looked at Qian Changxing, he was even more discontented. However, Qian Changxing did not seem to realize this.

Chuchen sneered in his heart and said, "this Qian Changxing is really a fool. He thinks he's a fool. No wonder he's hated by Uncle Wu."

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

This room should be the place where Uncle Li used to store antiques. It's very clean, but now it's empty except for the three pieces of furniture just now. It's what Uncle Li said before, and it's been taken away by other collectors.

When his eyes swept over the corner, Chu Chen found that there was a Buddha statue, which made him curious. However, because the light was dim, Chu Chen could not see clearly, so he went there to observe closely.

However, at first glance, Chu Chen felt very disappointed. The height of this Buddha statue is less than 40 cm. It is a common shape for people to sit on a lotus stand. The whole body is carved with ordinary camphor wood, and the sculptors are also very ordinary. Judging from its coating and carving technique, it should be a piece of late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. No wonder it is placed in the corner here.

But now that he had seen it, he could see it thoroughly. When Chu Chen wanted to turn the statue around, his mind moved. It turned out that his left hand suddenly felt that there were two breath in the Buddha's body.

Needless to say, it should be the Buddha itself, as well as a breath, which made Chu Chen daydream. Is there something hidden in the Buddha?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen did not hesitate, and immediately turned on his power. Sure enough, two breath were inhaled into his left hand. One breath was short and weak, the other breath was long and strong, which could be said to be the most powerful breath he had ever felt.

This immediately inspired Chu Chen's spirit, and he began to look at the statue carefully. However, he didn't see any problems inside and outside. This is normal. If it was so easy to see, it would not be put here.

However, at this time, the price on one side is almost settled. When they see their current behavior, they may guess that there is something wrong with the Buddha statue, so they have to speed up the action. If they can't find the problem, they have to get the Buddha statue first.

Perhaps due to luck, Chu Chen immediately enlarged the scene and saw a very small crack at the junction of the Buddha statue and lotus terrace, which could not be detected by the naked eye. This should be the problem. So he took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up the statue and went to the crowd.

At this time, Zhu Dafu and Uncle Li have negotiated a good price. In the end, Zhu Dafu got the precious furniture at a price of 450000 yuan. Both sides should be very satisfied with the price, which can be seen from the smiles on their faces.

Chu Chen put the statue on the ground, touched the back of his head, and said to Uncle Li with a smile: "Mr. Li, my mother believes in Buddhism, and I don't have the money to ask her for a better one. This time I just saw one here. I think she would like it. Can I ask her to go back and be filial?"At first, everyone was stunned, especially Uncle Wu's eyes flashed a strange look, and Zhao Qirui was even more disappointed. Then everyone began to look at the Buddha statue. I can only see that the material used for this Buddha statue should be ordinary camphor wood, and the sculptors are also ordinary. Fortunately, it is an object of the late Qing Dynasty, which can be regarded as an old one, and it is good for people to offer it.

Uncle Li looked at the statue of Buddha, then looked at Chu Chen, and then said: "this statue of Buddha, my grandfather got it in those years." Speaking of this, he pauses, then looks at Chu Chen. However, Chu Chen still has a simple and honest smile on his face, and he doesn't find anything unusual. He is disappointed and thinks that he should be worried too much.

So he said with a smile: "but no one in our family believes in Buddhism now. Since you are so filial, please go back."

Chuchen was relieved. Just now Uncle Li was staring at him. He was so nervous that he almost showed his emotion on his face. Fortunately, he finally controlled it. Under the pressure of excitement, Chu Chen, with a smile, thanks Uncle Li with a trace of gratitude, and finally got the Buddha statue for 1000 yuan.

At this time, Qian Changxing said contemptuously: "Wu Ziping, your nephew's taste is very low. He even wants such an ordinary Buddha statue. Isn't it that he hasn't seen the market at all? Do you want me to introduce one to you?"

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

Chu Chen and others, needless to say, had a bad impression on him. First of all, this offended Uncle Li. He just said that his grandfather got this statue of Buddha. When you say that, doesn't that mean his grandfather has no taste? How can this not make Uncle Li angry!

And Zhao Qirui is angry that Qian Changxing speaks regardless of occasion. You don't deal with each other, and you can compete with each other in another occasion. But now you are the expert invited by Zhao Qirui, representing my position. Don't you make trouble for me without any reason when you speak like this?

Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Qian Changxing immediately reflected that there was something wrong with what he had just said. He was also annoyed. How could he not calm his anger after not seeing Wu Ziping for several years? Is Wu Ziping not in line with himself? It's really bad luck.

Seeing this, Qian Changxing retreated awkwardly.

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

Li Laomian exchanged greetings with a smile, opened the box, and everyone immediately exclaimed.

These two boxes are big and small. Inside the small box is a lottery bowl.

Doucai, also known as doucai, is a kind of porcelain decoration technique combining underglaze blue and white with overglaze color. Doucai porcelain was created and fired by Jingdezhen kiln in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty. It is a great achievement in the history of China's ceramic technology.

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

The inner edge and outer edge of the bowl are decorated with blue and white Sanskrit and Yunlong Xizhu. The inner and outer wall of the bowl are painted with doucai lotus pond mandarin duck pattern. The exact name of the bowl should be doucai lotus pond mandarin duck pattern lying foot bowl.

It should be a bowl imitating the Ming Dynasty doucai porcelain in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty.

But in that big brocade box, there is a beautiful white jade eight auspicious patterns Ruyi. It is this Ruyi that caused everyone's exclamation.

Ruyi, a symbol of xiangduan in ancient China, evolved from ancient itching. In the earliest Ruyi, the end of the handle was shaped like a finger to show that the hand could not reach Ruyi, so it was called Ruyi. Later, it gradually evolved into a "wat" (also known as Chaohu) for recording events, and finally evolved into a pure display treasure, becoming Ruyi now.

This Ruyi jade is about 40 cm long. It is carved from the whole Hetian white jade. It has a huge volume, lustrous quality, soft and graceful shape, exquisite carving and polishing. It is a rare treasure.

Ruyi head is of Ganoderma lucidum type, and the edge of the head follows the shape. Among the characters of longevity in the inner relief, there are four treasures, namely, the umbrella, the lotus, the dish intestines and the goldfish.

There are three treasures of white cap, vase and conch in Kaiguang of Ruyi handle, and there are * * and bat in Kaiguang of handle tail. The front and back of the handle are alternate with cloud patterns, flowing freely. This Ruyi carving has clear patterns and auspicious meanings, which is the style of palace utensils.
