Baojian

Chapter 192

Except for those who came to cheer and left for the lounge, there were more than ten people at the door.

These people who stayed behind are all real experts in antique collection in the capital. Apart from attending the opening ceremony today, they still want to see Wei Hua's collection more.

As students majoring in the identification and restoration of cultural relics at Peking University, Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai naturally stayed with Li Ran.

In the past, they all listened to Qi Gong's lectures from a distance, without even a chance to speak a word, but now they can get such a close contact, they are a little excited, surrounded Mr. Qi like a star holding the moon .

"Xiao Wei, I heard that you have often participated in some foreign auctions in recent years, and bought back cultural relics lost abroad. This is a great event that benefits the country and the people, and the merits are immeasurable..."

Looking at the several exhibition halls in front of him, Mr. Qi was in a good mood. What saddened him the most in his life was that his ancestors were unworthy. He was bullied by foreign enemies several times and took many treasures of the country abroad.

In recent years, Qi Gong has joined forces with many celebrities in the antique and academic circles to buy back the precious cultural relics that have been lost abroad, but due to the shortage of funds, the results have not been very great.

"Old Qi, this is what every capable Chinese should do. Compared with your contribution to the domestic cultural relics industry, I am still far behind."

Wei Hua asked Meng Lin to accompany those high-ranking officials, but in front of Qi Gong, he did not dare to show the slightest arrogance and negligence. bone.

There was once a senior general of the Air Force who went to Qi Gong's house to ask for a letter. The old man always refused to refuse such a thing, but he happened to have something at home that day, so he told the visitor to come back to get the letter in a few days.

Who knew that the general was not happy, and insisted on the old man writing to him on the spot, Qi Gong immediately became angry, saying that you are not a military-level cadre, and you sent the air force to bomb me, which made the people feel very shameless. go.

In the past few years, Qi Gong has grown older, and usually rarely attends private events, that is, Wei Hua took photos of many of his collections to show the old man, and then invited him to the scene.

"Me? Useless is a scholar, I'm not as good as you..." The old man in his 80s was very quick thinking. After hearing Wei Hua's words, he couldn't help but sighed, and his expression was a little sad.

Just last year, a copy of the manuscript "Songxuezhai Anthology" written by Zhao Mengfu, one of the four great masters of regular script, was photographed abroad. After Qi Gong heard about it, he immediately cooperated with multiple departments to prepare to photograph it.

It's just that "Songxuezhai Anthology" is too famous. In the end, Qi Gong and others were still out of financial resources. This priceless manuscript was acquired by a rich man on Hong Kong Island.

Li Ran on the side knew what Qi Gong was thinking, and immediately said: "Teacher, Hong Kong Island has returned, and now many things have been photographed by people there, which is equivalent to returning to the motherland. You don't have to worry about it."

Li Ran has been in Beijing University for four or five years, and coupled with his family status, he had already studied calligraphy, painting and jade appreciation under Qi Gong's school the year before last.

Li Ran's status as a disciple is completely different from the teacher Qin Feng and others call in class. He basically visits the old gentleman's residence every once in a while to ask for advice.

"Hey, it is said that the descendants are unworthy, but I am unworthy of the ancestors."

The old man shook his head. He never acknowledged his identity as the Qing imperial family, but he said it twice today, which shows the deep resentment caused by the loss of those precious cultural relics.

"By the way, Li Ran, I brought the piece of jade you took last time."

Seeing Li Ran, the old man remembered something, took out a piece of jade cicada from his pocket, and said: "This thing is a modern fake, but the craftsmanship is very good, enough to distinguish the fake from the real..."

Not long ago, Li Ran found a piece of ancient jade, and took it to Qi Gong for appraisal. It happened that someone would ask for a letter, so the old man asked Li Ran to keep it at home. This time, he brought it here when he remembered it.

"is fake?"

Reaching out to take the jade cicada in Qi Gong's hand, Li Ran showed a look of astonishment in his eyes, and said, "Teacher, I got this piece of jade from the "Qibaozhai" shop, and they are also selling fakes? "

Recently, some ancient jades of good quality appeared in the capital. Li Ran spent 8 yuan to buy them. What's more, the "Qishi Zhai" in Beijing never sells fake jades.

"The people in "Qi Shi Zhai" may have misjudged it. There is something wrong with the color of this jade. It is definitely a new imitation of an old one, and in terms of time, I am afraid it will not exceed three months..."

Qi Gong shook his head and said: "Although the knife technique on this jade cicada is simple, it has a majestic, broad, natural and unrestrained artistic conception. It is vigorous, rough, and powerful. It should be the long-lost Han Eight Swords. They should That’s where it’s wrong.”

"Han Eight Swords? Does anyone still know it?"

Li Ran stroked the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Teacher, if this sword technique is the same as the Han Eight Swords, my 8 yuan will be worth it."

The representative work of "Han Ba ​​Dao" is Ba Dao Cicada, which usually uses simple straight lines to express its morphological characteristics abstractly. Eight knives".

Han Badao handicraft is a representative work in the history of domestic jade, with a high level of craftsmanship and artistic value, occupying an important position in the history of jade, and no jade with this style will be found after the Han Dynasty.

"Fake is fake, but this craft has some collection value..."

Looking at the jade cicada in Li Ran's hand, Qi Gong said: "As far as I know, there are still a few people who can do it, but they should be a hundred years old now, and they are probably their descendants..."

Speaking of this, Qi Gong sighed: "These people just don't want to come out, otherwise the name of a master craftsman will not be able to escape."

"Grandma's, you're really old and smart, you can see it like this?"

The onlookers thought it was an on-the-spot appraisal of the teacher pointing out the apprentice, but Qin Feng was shocked when he saw it, because the jade cicada was made by Qin Feng.

The prototype of this jade cicada is the Kouhan in the Nine-Aperture Jade obtained by Qin Feng's tomb robbery.

The mouth itself imitates the handicraft of the Eight Swords of Han Dynasty, but after Qin Feng's hand, it made up for some shortcomings in the carving technique, making it from Tang Yu to a real "Han Yu".

But Qin Feng never expected that these objects he made in Tianjin would flow into the capital so quickly, and this is the second one he has seen besides Hu Baoguo.

As for Qi Gong, Qin Feng really can't describe his admiration for him in words at this time. hurt.

"Old Qi, I also have a piece of jade here. I bought it from a friend's store in Tianjin City a few days ago. Why don't you give me the palm of your hand too?"

Wei Hua originally wanted to ask Qi Gong to help him comment on the collections of various museums, but when he saw Li Ran's piece of jade, he couldn't help but see Lie Xinxie, and took a handle piece from his waist.

This handle piece is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, about the size of a baby's palm, with rounded sides, and a reclining Buddha carved out in the middle, with a lifelike image and exquisite knife workmanship.

"Damn, buddy made a total of 30 yuan jade, and saw three so soon?"

Seeing the object in Wei Hua's hand, Qin Feng couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. Although this handle is slightly different from the jade cicada, it was also made by Qin Feng.

"Okay, the Lord started before he saw it?" Mr. Qi laughed when he heard the words, and after taking the handle, he said, "I'm old and my legs and feet are bad. Sit down somewhere and talk."

"Yes, yes, let's go to the tea room."

Wei Hua nodded again and again, and helped the old man to the tea room on the left side of the entrance. This place is specially used for entertaining guests, and there can only be seven or eight people seated, while Qin Feng's young people naturally stood by and listened to the lecture.

After sitting down, Wei Hua saw that the baby girl had also followed into the tea room. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said, "Feifei, why are you here too? Aren't you not interested in these things?"

Although Wei Hanfei often helps Wei Hua participate in some art auctions abroad, Wei Hua knows that she only goes to hold up signs every time, but she doesn't like the things that these dead people have played with.

"I came in to listen, Dad, leave me alone and let Grandpa Qi start the appraisal."

After hearing her father's words, Wei Hanfei's pretty face blushed slightly, and she peeked at Qin Feng. She didn't know what happened, but just walked in behind Qin Feng.

"Huh? Could it be that my daughter has taken a fancy to that kid? I'll ask Li Ran later about the kid's background..."

What kind of wink did Wei Hua have? Naturally, his daughter's small movements could not escape his eyes. His eyes turned around Qin Feng, and Wei Hua turned his attention to Qi Gong again.

"This is Tang Yu's style..."

After receiving the magnifying glass handed over by someone else, the old gentleman explained while looking at it: "Although Hetian jade has been mined before the Qin and Han Dynasties, it did not take shape until the Tang Dynasty, so the quality of Hetian jade is the best among Tang jades..."

Wei Hua also has a lot of research on jade, so he interjected: "Old Qi, this piece of jade is pure in quality, natural in color, and thick in paste. In my personal opinion, this should be a Tang jade handed down from generation to generation... "

As I said before, ordinary ancient jade must be at least one dynasty earlier, and it has been polished by three generations before it can be called handed down jade. .

After Wei Hua's toy was bought by the store in Jintian, he regarded it as the treasure of the store. If it weren't for Wei Hua's special status, he wouldn't be able to buy it at all. Even so, he spent a full 80 yuan.

"Huh? Looking at the patina and color of this jade, it should be a piece of Tang jade." Qi Gong looked at it for a long time. Although he was a little panicked, he didn't see any flaws after all.

"Tang Yu is Tang Yu, but ancient jade handed down may not be."

Hearing the old man's appreciation, Qin Feng couldn't help muttering in a low voice, feeling somewhat proud of his tricks of deception.
