Chapter 12

Chu Chen see everyone so anxious appearance, said with a smile: "let's eat first, in this place also can't make."

Everyone was right when they thought about it, so they had dinner in a hurry and came to Uncle Wu's shop.

Chu Chen picked up the Buddha statue he had just put on one side, put it on the counter, gently wiped it with a cloth, and then pointed out the location of the gap to everyone. After careful observation with a magnifying glass, everyone marveled at its exquisite craftsmanship, which made it so perfect.

After putting down the magnifying glass, Uncle Wu said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chen, you really observed very carefully. What did you think at that time?"

Now, of course, Chu Chen can't say that he found the abnormality because of his powers, so he said the reason he had thought about before.

"I found this Buddha by accident. At the beginning, Lu Zigang created many exquisite or exquisite jade carving works in his life. One jade hairpin alone was worth 56 gold, and the jade brand he created was even more attractive.

The jade pendant made of Zi Gang is square or rectangular in shape, thick and solid, just like a brand, so it is called "Zi Gang (Gang) brand" for short. The special charm of Zigang brand is reflected in its unique shape, exquisite jade quality, fine carving in one artistic style, and appreciating the artistic style of Lu Zigang's jade carving.

The price of Zigang jade is higher than that of Changyu. As soon as it came out, it was immediately loved by the government and the public, especially by the literati. The supply often exceeded the demand, forming a trend of imitation. Not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

There are still a lot of imitators in the market, and they still have far-reaching influence on the market. After the Ming Dynasty, there was a jade brand made by Zi Gang instead of Lu Zi Gang, which was called "Zi Gang brand", which was different from the "Zi Gang brand" made by Lu Zi Gang himself.

And the Zigang brand in Zhu Dafu's hand is a Zigang brand.

This jade plate is rectangular, with holes on its top and the same Kui dragon pattern on both sides of the hole. On the front of the plate, a jade faced scholar is singing the wind and playing the moon under the bamboo, giving people a sense of "bamboo rain and pine organ rhyme, tea smoke and Wu moon calligraphy". On the other side, it is engraved with poetry and famous money.

Looking at the whole jade plate, we can see that the jade carving technique is superb, the carving work is fine, elegant and fresh, the characters depicted are vivid, the poems on the back are elegant and flexible, but the Dao can carve out the interesting ink. Although it is not as good as Zi Gang, it is not far away.

This brand of jade is of excellent quality. It is a very rare cashmere white jade seed material. It is crystal clear, white, delicate and moistening. The whole quality of the jade is almost flawless. It can be said that it is the best of the best.

After giving the jade plate to Zhao Xueyi, Zhu Dafu said with emotion: "this piece of Zigang brand, judging from its characteristics such as wrapping pulp, should be a work of Qianlong period. From its jade quality and sculptors, it should be a fine work carefully carved for Qianlong."

"This piece of Zigang brand, not to mention its jade quality, is the best carving I have ever seen, except Lu Zigang himself. What's more valuable is that this piece of Zigang brand jade is a flawless white suede jade, which is even more precious. It's really a rare fine product. "

After appreciating the Zigang card in turn, everyone marveled at its beauty. Although the jade card felt a little strange because it had not been played for many years, it can still be seen that as long as you play it carefully for some time, you can restore its due luster.

At this time, Zhu Dafu said to Chu Chen with a smirk: "Xiao Chen, let's have a discussion. How about giving this Zigang card to Uncle Fu?"

Before Chu Chen could come and answer, Zhao Xueyi said, "Lao Zhu, you're not so kind. Today you've got a set of furniture. Of course it's my turn to get the Zigang card."

Zhu Dafu said angrily, "gunduzi, you have earned more than 100000 today. You have to compete with me. Besides, I'm so old. You don't know how to carry forward the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young."

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "when you meet your favorite baby, you don't care so much."

Zhu Dafu hugged his fist and begged: "Lao Zhao, please do me a favor, or you can choose two of my collections tomorrow?"

Zhao Xueyi said: "really? You can choose anything? "

Zhu Dafu said bitterly: "well, let's discuss it then, as long as it doesn't exceed 30 (ten thousand)
