Chapter 90

Third, we need to ask for recommendation ticket, collection ticket, reward ticket and evaluation ticket

I won't go into details about the bidding process. Anyway, with Tang Cheng and Ning Weiqiang, two powerful and wealthy yamen, there were one or two bidders. When they saw the bidding, they immediately stopped. They just spent 60000 yuan as the lower limit of the estimated price.

After starting with this Buddha statue, Qin Fang and others really didn't have any idea about the auction. They came here in a muddle, and several people were waiting for the answer.

After paying the money and delivering the auction, Qin Fang and the other four sat down in a private room of Mingshi salon. Ning Weiqiang specially called over the appraiser of Mingshi salon, whose appraisal level is much better than those of other brick experts.

"Tang Shao and Ning Shao, you two are..."

After the appraiser came, he was a little confused. Several people were actually circling around a Buddha statue of Ming Dynasty, which was not very valuable.

"Don't ask me, find him..."

Tang City sat down in Diaoyutai, Ning Weiqiang gave him a squint and directly threw him to Qin Fang.

"Don't worry, wait for me..."

Qin Fang ignored him, but carefully observed the Buddha statue. He was holding a very small hammer in his hand. No, he was making empty gestures there, as if he was thinking about where to start.

"Young master, this is what you want to do..."

The appraiser looked at Qin Fang in surprise. He couldn't see what he wanted to do, so he couldn't help asking.

"Where do you think I can break this Buddha statue without damaging its contents?" Qin Fang gave him a squint. He also knew that he was an expert in antiques. He couldn't help asking.

The appraiser couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words. However, he had spent a long time in the famous official salon. He had seen the behavior of the second generation of the rich and the second generation of the officials. Although he was a little distressed about the Buddha statue, he didn't dare to disobey the demands of these CHILDES, even though the quality of Qin Fang's clothes was worse than what he was wearing not a few.

"From the head The base is too thick, which is easy to cause damage on both sides! "

In fact, the appraiser himself was very strange. He couldn't understand how Qin Fang knew that there was something in the belly of the Buddha statue. He had to know that the Buddha statue had passed his hand and examined it carefully. He didn't find any gap. Naturally, it was impossible to see whether there was anything in the belly of the Buddha statue.

However, in order to keep his job, the appraiser gave a more pertinent opinion, which was similar to what Qin Fang had thought in advance.

So, with the help of the appraiser, Qin Fang and he put the Buddha's head on the edge of the table, raised the hammer in his hand, and then dropped it gently.

With a crisp sound and a slight crack, the head of the ceramic Buddha was immediately broken.

"Eh There's something there! "

Chen Jiangnan was also staring at him. When the cup of Buddha's head was broken, except for a few pieces of pottery, something really showed up inside.

Hearing Chen Jiangnan's exclamation, the two yamen who were sitting beside drinking looked at each other in surprise. They both stood up and came over.

At this time, Qin Fang carefully pulled out the thing hidden in the Buddha statue. Fortunately, the Buddha statue is hollow. Although it is not very spacious, the thing hidden here still has a certain range of activities.

"This is..."

When Qin Fang took out the cylindrical object about 30 cm long, everyone gathered around the table.

It's a long strip, wrapped with something similar to oil paper, which is a waterproof material commonly used in ancient times. Moreover, Qin Fang twisted this layer of oil paper, which seems to have been used for some years.

"Come on..."

After thinking about it, Qin still didn't dare to move this layer of oil paper, and gave such an important and detailed task to the appraiser.

After the Buddha cup was broken, the appraiser was very upset at the moment when something really appeared. Now Qin Fang has given him such a task. It's bullshit to say that he's not nervous.

Fortunately, he is in this business. He is excited about every antique that was born in his own hands or in this world.

This layer of oil paper material, Qin Fang, they can't understand, doesn't mean he doesn't understand, it's the goods of Ming Dynasty, so what's wrapped in it is at least the goods of Ming dynasty or even before.

And this thing has been hidden in the Buddha statue, indicating that the value of this thing is far above the Buddha statue. How can this appraiser not be excited?

"Be careful, don't break it..."

Looking at the appraiser's slightly bigger action, Chen Jiangnan cried out for fear of being damaged."Understand, understand..."

The appraiser also had a bitter smile on his face. He wanted to scold Chen Jiangnan, but there were two Yamen in the room that he couldn't afford to offend. He could only swallow the tone himself.

On one side of his mouth, he accepted it, but the action on his hand was not slow at all. He carefully removed the layer of oil paper that had been almost glued on the outside, which could be regarded as showing the contents completely.

When the contents were exposed, the first thing I saw was a roll of yellow paper, and the appraiser carefully spread the roll of paper on the desktop slowly, and finally let its true face show in front of Qin Fang and others.

Hiss ~ ~ ~

almost everyone present could not help but take a breath.

"This is..."

Comparatively speaking, the appraiser who had seen a lot of authentic antiques recovered quickly and began to appreciate the things in front of them carefully. However, when he looked carefully, the whole person was about to take a breath.

"Preface to Lanting!"

At first, several people in Qin Fang were more or less lucky, but when the appraiser squeezed out the three words almost word by word, they were almost ready to smoke.

As long as you know a little bit of calligraphy, even if you haven't really written a few big characters, you will know the preface to Lanting, which is known as "the first book in China".

"Let's see which dynasty it was and who copied it..."

Tang Cheng was a soldier. Although he was also quite surprised, he was calm and immediately told the appraiser.

There are many versions of Lanting preface stele extension handed down to the world. At the same time, quite a number of people have copied it. Even since Lanting preface was handed down to the world, all the calligraphers of the past dynasties have copied it. This volume of stele extension is so secret that it is obviously of extraordinary origin. Maybe it is a very precious antique, as estimated by Qin Fang.

"You don't have to look at it. It's the preface to Lanting, which is a copy of the original work of Wang Xizhi by Feng chengsu in Tang Dynasty As for whether it was the original, it is still impossible to determine. I've seen that engraving in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It's the same as it is on it... "

The appraiser's voice trembled when he spoke.

Although he was not sure whether it was the original, from some clues, he could almost be sure that it was the original.

Once it is confirmed that this is the original, then it means that in his hands, this volume, which had disappeared from the world, is coming back to the world again, and he will be the first group of witnesses, and may be famous forever.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

When he said this, the faces of Tang Cheng, Ning Weiqiang, Qin Fang and Chen Jiangnan were no longer joyful, but cautious.

"It's the original! Brother Tang, call someone... "

At this time, Qin Fang lost a detection skill towards the rubbings. After identifying the result, his face looked helpless, but he still said to Tang Cheng.

It's not a leak. It's just a big leak. They can't take it all
