Chapter 17?
The jade carving dragon head hairpin
The host was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know how to appraise treasures, he had never eaten pork or seen pigs running. However, he had seen big scenes at least, and immediately spoke: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so fast. Since this is the case, please tell us the results of the appraisal!"
Lin Yan picked up the microphone and spoke slowly, "This is a jade carved dragon-headed hairpin from the late Qing Dynasty."
High-definition pictures of this hairpin immediately appeared on the large screen.
It is a hairpin full of green, with red gems inlaid on its head.
Lin Yan paused and continued, "It is rumored that this hairpin was worn by Empress Dowager Cixi once, and the entire hairpin was carved from a whole piece of jade."
"And the head of the Panlong Hairpin is decorated with pearls and rubies, as if there are beads in the dragon's mouth, symbolizing the supreme imperial power."
The host said: "Mr. Lin is so amazing. He just took a look and knew so much. It's really admirable! I wonder what Mr. Lin's estimated price is?"
In addition to identifying the authenticity of the treasure, the appraiser also has an important point, which is to estimate the identified things, which is a crucial step.
This is also the value of the existence of a treasure appraiser. If the correct value cannot be given, then the treasure appraiser will lose most of its significance.
Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "The estimated price I gave is three million."
The host immediately said: "Mr. Lin gave a price of three million. So let's see how much is this jade carved dragon head hairpin worth?"
The host took out a card from under the tray with the hairpin. After seeing the above content clearly, the host said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Mr. Lin Yan would actually say that the difference is not bad!"
Immediately, the card reads "The jade carved dragon head hairpin in the late Qing Dynasty, worth three million."
Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny. It turned out that he had a hand here. If the identification was wrong, it would be a fool.
The host spoke again: "Let us thank Mr. Lin Yan for bringing us a wonderful treasure appraisal opening."
There was a burst of applause from the audience, as if there was not much interest.
This is not surprising. The hairpin identified by Lin Yan is not difficult. It is estimated that as long as it is not a rookie, it can be identified. What is surprising is that Lin Yan just took a look and identified it. The speed is indeed very fast, which makes people a little shocked.
After returning to the seat, An Ruting muttered, "You can't look at the answer in advance, right? Otherwise, how could you know just by looking at it!"
Lin Yan sneered and said nothing.
Old Lady An, sitting behind, looked at Lin Yan's eyes flashing with a trace of light, and didn't know what she was calculating.
An Nanqing looked at Lin Yan with some suspicion. Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed to be seen, so he asked, "Wife, why are you looking at me like this?"
“When did you become so awesome?
Or you have been pretending to be stupid and lying to me before!"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I have never deceived you with the conscience of heaven and earth!"
When An Nanqing wanted to say something, a second appraiser appeared on the stage. Lin Yan looked up and saw that it was the extremely vulgar Li Songshu.
Lin Yan looked at Li Songshu curiously. It was not because he judged people by his appearance, but Li Songshu looked greasy and frivolous, and he didn't look like a treasure appraiser at all.
After looking at Li Songshu carefully, Lin Yan suddenly felt that he looked a little like An Ruzhen, and he didn't look carefully at the two of them, just like two brothers.
The two of them are similar in height and both exudes a vulgar aura. It mainly depends on who can pass by who is vulgar.
Lin Yan shook his head and looked at the second treasure. Although it was far apart, Lin Yan could see clearly. It was a bamboo carving from the Qing Dynasty and an incense tube for the birthday pictures of immortals.
The style and layout of bamboo carvings are rigorous and complete, and the three-dimensional and scenic methods should be from the Jiading School.
An Nanqing asked in a low voice: "Ayan, do you see the faction of this bamboo eagle?"
Lin Yan squinted his eyes and said, "This is from the Jiading School. Look, this bamboo carving is integrated with the Southern School painting method and the Northern School painting method. It carves flowers, birds, figures, landscapes and other patterns."
Sure enough, Li Songshu on the stage took the magnifying glass in his hand and looked carefully, then showed an extremely vulgar smile, and said, "This is the incense tube of the Qing Dynasty's bamboo carvings celebrated the birthday of the immortals."
"This bamboo carving should be a fine work of the Jiading School of Bamboo Carving. Look, this incense tube is a straight-tube type, with the base of the red sandalwood carving boy playing lion ball, and the top is equipped with a red sandalwood carving openwork cloud dragon pattern cover. The whole body is embossed, openwork and shallow carving."
"In the picture, the fairy mountains are filled with mountains, pines, cypresses, ancient tungsten, and weeping willows. The waterfall is in a hurry, and auspicious clouds are floating. Everyone first holds birthday ceremony and arrives in groups of three or five. The immortal man from the South Pole is coming by riding a crane, and the Queen Mother arrives with the wind. The scene is lively and the fairy spirit lingers."
In the end, without any surprise, the estimated price Li Song signed was almost the same as the card. When he was about to come, he even winked at Lin Yan. Lin Yan turned his head speechlessly, looking like he didn't recognize him at all.
After several rounds, people were photographed by major treasure appraisal families. Basically, everyone's appraisal level was not flawed. After all, they were all well-known figures. If they made mistakes, it would be embarrassing.
Gradually, Lin Yan felt a little bored, so he looked around with his eyes, but he happened to face Shen Huaian in the corner.
Eyes.
Shen Huaian looked like he was not as good as the world's fireworks and smiled slightly at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan didn't think he didn't see it, so he could only smile with a slight gut, and then quickly turned away from the beginning and looked elsewhere.
At this time, Lin Yan found that An Ruting was a little anxious. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "Grandma, can I let me go up next?"
Several people in the An family looked at him strangely. The rules for treasure appraisal were random, or volunteered to go up. Why did An Ruting suddenly become so active?
Old Mrs. An said without even raising her eyebrows, "If you want to get up, go up!"
An Ruting couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't want to go up so quickly, but he found that the more difficult it would be for the baby to appreciate, and his level of treasure appraisal was not very good.
In fact, he is also a very talented person in treasure appraisal. However, he was spoiled by his mother since he was a child. He looked like a second-generation ancestor and never worked hard in treasure appraisal, so his level of treasure appraisal is average.
