Chapter 870 Take anything is a farmhouse
"Oh my god, Ah Chen, you actually still have this? This is the best thing." Dai Zhenguo took a mock red sandalwood box from his granddaughter Dai Xixi, opened it, and was shocked when he opened it.
Liu Chen likes Dai Zhenguo's expression. Every time Dai Zhenguo has this expression, Liu Chen feels inexplicably happy. Can he not be happy? God, as long as Dai Zhenguo has this expression, this thing must be good and the price is the least.
Above one million, the expression would not be the same without Dai Lao.
"Grandpa, what's in here?"
Dai Zhenguo glared at his granddaughter. He didn't know why this granddaughter was like this. She didn't follow him at all and was uneducated at all. Judging from this box, it must be a box for inkstones, which is one of the four treasures of the study.
Box.
Forget it, why don't I have a grandson like Liu Chen? Originally, it was not possible to have a granddaughter, but to find a grandson-in-law. But now it seems, forget it, this grandson-in-law knows nothing like my granddaughter.
"Ali, let me take a look." Lu Hui snatched the Duan Inkstone from Dai Zhenguo's hand, opened it and took a look.
"Ah Chen, let me ask you, where did you get this good thing? This is a very good Duan Inkstone."
Liu Chen didn't feel anything. Isn't it just a Duan Inkstone? I really didn't feel anything, but the box was made of rosewood and looked pretty good.
This Duan Inkstone was given to him by Gu Wanjun's grandfather. At the time, he just thought it looked good and he didn't want it. But he knew his grandfather was a good person and it was unacceptable, so he reluctantly accepted it.
To be honest, Liu Chen swore that he really didn't know the value of this Duan Inkstone. To be honest, he had never really used it and didn't know the price. He just felt that he would take this out and put it in his study for a show.
It's just good-looking, I just want to make myself look more educated, that's all, I really didn't think about it that much.
As for the price, Liu Chen really doesn’t know. If he knew, well, he would accept it. There’s nothing he can do about it. This was a gift from his grandpa, but it was a gift from his future wife’s grandpa. Can he not accept it? Liu Chenhou
I thought to myself shamelessly.
"Ah Chen, do you know the origin of this Duan Inkstone?" Lu Hui stared at Liu Chen.
Liu Chen nodded and said something.
He knew that this was the Duan Inkstone of Sanyang Kaitai, mainly because he liked the meaning of Sanyang Kaitai, and also because his grandfather told him at that time that although this thing was not valuable, the workmanship was good and it was from the early Qing Dynasty.
It's okay, he just brought it here, I really don't know about the rest.
Lu Hui looked at Liu Chen and talked to him carefully bit by bit. Lu Hui told Liu Chen that this Duan inkstone is made of Duanxi seed stone. It is naturally formed according to the shape and has no artificial processing. There is also this
It is roughly rectangular, regular and square. This inkstone combines the square with the circle, which means the sky is round and the place is round.
Lu Hui spoke carefully, and Liu Chen also listened carefully. He then looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said, "Come, take a look. This Duan Inkstone has a firm texture, purple-black color, and is covered with carved patterns and knife skills."
It is skillful, simple yet delicate, and quite interesting. The inkstone is made like a knife and axe. It seems chaotic, but in fact it is ingenious and unique. On the forehead of the inkstone, there are mountains, rocks and sea of clouds. There is an eye in the left corner, which looks like a bright moon; on the right side, there is an eye.
Three finely carved sheep are parked among the rocks, with different postures. They look at the bright moon, kneel slightly on the front knees, and use a knife instead of writing to outline a lifelike picture. However, this sheep is not a Qing Dynasty model. In comparison,
It is closer to the appearance painted on the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be inferred that it was made in the early Qing Dynasty. The back of the inkstone follows the shape and is exquisitely carved, resembling rugged rocks, with clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, and a gurgling stream below, creating a secluded scene."
Liu Chen glared at Lu Hui. This little old man not only knew how to fish, he also studied Duan Inkstone. He didn't know anything about lakes. He knew so much.
"There's more, come and take a look. Look, this box with a matching red sandalwood inkstone on the outside is made of exquisite materials and complicated to make. The inkstone surface is made of mother-of-pearl, sapphire, turquoise, malachite, coral, lapis lazuli and other precious materials. The three-goat Kaitai pattern is made on the surface of the box using the treasure inlay technique, which is an independent painting and contrasts with the Duan inkstone. The three sheep are inlaid with different materials and have different postures. The pine trees and rocks are made of turquoise, malachite, lapis lazuli, etc. The material is rich in leaves and flowers, with beautiful green leaves and white flowers, complementing each other, and full of spring. The design of the pattern is dignified and elegant, with a dense and dense layout, bright embellishments, and bright colors, making it fresh yet gorgeous. The inside of the inkstone box is painted with gold It is painted with several groups of leather ball patterns, which is quite Japanese Maki-e style. It is reported that Emperor Yongzheng loved foreign lacquer very much. He not only imitated Japanese Maki-e lacquerware in the palace, but also widely used the leather ball pattern on porcelain."
Lu Hui spoke seriously, and everyone listened attentively.
"Grandpa Lu, you know so much." Dai Xixi looked at Lu Hui and said with a smile.
To be honest, Liu Chen also felt that Lu Hui was really powerful and knew so much, he was like an encyclopedia.
Everyone kept praising Mr. Lu Hui for being so awesome. Mr. Lu Hui became even more enthusiastic. He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Three sheep are the best. Three sheep are used to represent the three yangs. Whichever winter goes and spring comes, yin disappears and yang grows." It’s a good symbol of good luck and good luck.”
"Grandpa, what's the price of this?"
Dai Xixi looked at Lu Hui with a smile and said, "No matter how good this thing is, it's useless. The main thing is the price. The price is too high."
Liu Chen thought to himself, considering this, how could the price be less? This must be in the millions.
"With this price, you can't take it without 3 million."
"What? Three million? Is this something worth so much?"
Wang Ruoji and Dai Xixi stared at Lu Hui with their mouths open. The price was too expensive. They were really unbelievable.
Liu Chen was okay. After all, although the price was much higher than he thought, it was expected. After all, the reaction of Lu Hui and Dai Zhenguo just now knew that the price would definitely not be low.
"Ah Chen, you want to make a fortune. These things don't look like much, but the prices are really high. These are just a few things. Just take any of them and build a few farms." Wang Ruoji He looked at Liu Chen enviously and said.
Liu Chen smiled. He really didn't want to take it out, but there happened to be a few "masters" here. It would be fine to let them show it to him. He didn't know the goods anyway, right? Let him see what the prices are like.
Liu Chen took out another large box from the drawer. The outside was also made of rosewood. He looked at Dai Zhenguo and Lu Hui with a smile and said, "I still have a few sets of ink here. How about you help me take a look?"
Liu Chen opened the box and revealed the ink set inside.
"Ink? Ink? Ah Chen, you are so capable. I really don't know how to describe you. There is really nothing good that you can't get. This thing is not easy to get, but you can actually get it. "It's really amazing." Dai Zhenguo looked at Liu Chen again in shock.
From just now to now, no, from the time I first met him, this boy has given me a different feeling. This boy is so capable, not ordinary. I have been collecting for so many years, and I have a lot of good things. It's not something you can just get if you want. This guy can do it. He actually got so many good things. It's really not easy.
Mr. Lu Hui stared at Liu Chen, this boy, he has long wanted to get such ink, but he has been searching for so many years and still hasn't found one, mainly because this ink is really difficult to get.
Liu Chen's ink paintings were produced during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The imperial garden paintings were selected from sixty-four scenes in the Forbidden City, the West Garden, and the Old Summer Palace. The number of ink paintings and the exquisiteness of the carvings in this collection are truly remarkable.
It is rare in the history of ink painting. It has a landscape engraved on the back and is filled with gold and silver, similar to mother-of-pearl products. It should be regarded as the first-class art of the Jiaqing period.
"The price is definitely not cheap, it looks high-end." Wang Ruoji has learned to be smart now, it looks like it is worth millions.
No, Liu Chen was so excited that he took out the rice paper again, and everyone was stunned again.
"Ah Chen, look, where did you get all these things?" Dai Zhenguo really can't figure it out. It's amazing that many collectors can get one of these. This kid actually got all the four treasures of the study.
Here we are, we got it, we got it, and we actually got something so good and so precious, I couldn’t even imagine it.
"This one belonged to the grandfather of a teacher who was a friend of mine. That grandfather passed away, so I passed it on to him. He had something to do and needed money urgently, so I spent the money to buy it. I said it was a purchase.
Yes, actually, you put it here with me first, and people will come to get it later." Liu Chen opened his eyes and said randomly.
At this moment, everyone didn’t quite believe it. After all, Liu Chen spread such lies frequently, and everyone was numb. After all, this guy is very capable. Who knows where he got it from. Anyway, he could get all the four treasures of the study.
, Liu Chen is really the only one.
It would be amazing for anyone to get one of such good things, but this guy actually got them all. It’s really amazing.
Liu Chen really didn't expect that he would be able to get such good things when he went to the capital in 1979. He really couldn't believe it. It seemed that he would have to go more often, maybe he could get more.
Where is the thing?
"Achen, let's see if you can part with me. I'll pay a high price and you'll give me this white jade pen?"
"Achen, I paid 3.5 million for this Duan Inkstone, and you gave it to me."
Good guys, after these old guys finished admiring them one by one, they started to "grab" them.
Now Liu Chen is really not short of money. To be honest, even if Liu Chen is short of money now, he doesn't want to sell these things. After all, this is a symbol of his cultural status, and he is still counting on this to show off. He really doesn't want to sell it.
.
"I'm really sorry, grandpas. This belongs to my friend. They will come and take it away. I can't let them handle it without permission. It's hard to tell when the time comes." Liu Chen said with embarrassment.
The old guys looked at Liu Chen like this and thought, forget it, since Ah Chen doesn't want to sell, it's not good for him to say anything. After all, Ah Chen now is different from before. This kid is not short of money now.
"Well, since it's really inconvenient for you to give in, then forget it. Ah Chen, when will you figure it out and when will you give it to us? It's easy to talk about the money."
"Okay, if I get another good one by then, I will definitely keep it for you guys."
As soon as Liu Chen said this, several old men rolled their eyes at Liu Chen. This kid thought this was cabbage from the vegetable market. You can buy it if you want. Such good things are not something you can just get.
, this is a good thing that comes only once in a thousand years.
"Okay, let's go fishing. Didn't you decide the winner in the morning? Go down and continue fishing. I'll treat you to dinner in the evening."
