Country Feng Shui master in the city

"Since everyone thinks highly of you, boy, why don't you show me this birdcage?" An elderly man in a coat, who looked like a well-known comedian, looked at Chen Luo playfully. .It is estimated that I am tired of waiting, so I just passed the time for a while.

Knowing everyone, Chen Luo joined in the fun, and said, "Miss Xiang, do you have a magnifying glass for me to ask for? This birdcage probably has a big background, maybe it was the birdcage used by high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty and Shen Liuniao."

Hearing Chen Luo's words, the surrounding onlookers burst out laughing, and the Tibetan friend who held the Golden Buddha booed and said, "Don't you say it's the birdcage used by Lord Qianlong?"

"In addition to reviewing memorials, Lord Qianlong's hands are used to touch beauties and handsome fans and shake fans. If everyone has an imperial fan that Lord Qianlong used in their hands, they will make a fortune. Lord Qianlong also has a hobby of playing fans, so he doesn't like it." Wanniao, it’s all recorded in the history books, if you don’t believe me, go back and look up Qing history.” Chen Luo said vividly.

"You boy, you look a little ink, is my birdcage really used by He Shen?" The smile on the old man's face was really exciting.

"Give me the magnifying glass, Handsome Pot, you have to look carefully, you must not call the birdcage Ji Xiaolan used as He Shen's." Xiang Nannan joked while handing him a magnifying glass.

"Quiet--"

Chen Luo took a magnifying glass and pretended to study it for a long time before giving the answer: "Unfortunately, this birdcage is not for He Shen."

The surrounding area suddenly burst into flames, shouting that this thing is fake at first sight, and a broken birdcage still wants to be a treasure.

"Hey, young man, take your time talking. My blood pressure has risen to 160 just now. Now I even feel like breaking it. I bought this thing from a friend in Shanghai for 20 yuan. Now I It's a huge loss." The mood of the owner of the birdcage also fluctuated with Chen Luo's words.

Playing hidden treasures among the people is not like everyone has millions or tens of millions when they make a move, and 20 is not a small amount for ordinary Tibetan friends.

"It's such an expensive thing, then I'll take another look." Chen Luo pretended to look at it a few more times with a magnifying glass, and suddenly called out: "Good thing, this thing is a cage for mandarin ducks. It is used to raise the yellow-red bird. This kind of bird is very difficult to raise. Only this kind of mandarin duck cage can keep it, otherwise it will commit suicide. However, the yellow-red bird is a rare bird and is basically extinct now. Tang people like to walk the bird. This birdcage is from the time of Wu Zetian. The empress boarded the plane. At that time, men felt shameless and had no interest in politics. They all walked the streets with birds. In other words, it means non-violence and non-resistance. Go alone."

"Handsome pot, how can you be sure that this birdcage is real?" Xiang Nannan wanted to verify whether Chen Luo was fooling everyone, so he asked.

"First of all, the bars of the birdcage are engraved with Gaozong's poems. After the ministers went on strike, and later after Wu Zetian killed a group of people, they also began to deal with government affairs. In order to show their loyalty to Gaozong, Gaozong read it in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Poems were engraved on it, and poetry was also developed in the early Tang Dynasty. Of course, this is seen in the unofficial history, and there is nothing in the official history. The pulping technique is indeed the style of the Tang Dynasty. The wood used to make the birdcage is called mandarin duck wood, which is very extremely At least, they were all chopped down by a group of unscrupulous businessmen. The yellow-red bird fell to the ground and had to stand on the mandarin duck wood. Without this wood, it would die, so the yellow-red bird died because of this main reason. Yes, of course there are other factors. This wood was basically invisible at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is definitely not a modern thing. There are tens of thousands of Qianlong blue and white among the people. You don’t have many bird cages, and things are rare. Expensive and valuable for collection."

Sitting there, Chen Luo said that he was more expert than an expert, and everyone believed every word.

The owner of the birdcage thanked and said: "Young man, you are really awesome. I don't know as much about this birdcage as you did after watching it for a few minutes. I respect you, so I won't ask an expert to appraise it. If you can’t explain why you came here, then you’ll be very happy. I’m a good person and dare not do anything wrong.”

The Tibetan friends saw that Chen Luo spoke clearly and logically, and they were very enthusiastic about appraising his treasures. Everyone was very enthusiastic, and finally a young man took the lead, "Please help me to see this Buddhist scripture, is it an antique?"

It was a young man who wanted to appraise the treasure, holding a yellow cloth in his hand, and put it in front of Chen Luo.

When I opened it, it turned out to be "42 Chapters", with a white border and a white flag.Chen Luo had a book of 42 chapters on hand, which was bordered with red, and there was sheepskin hidden inside, but the one in front of him was obviously not.

"How much did you pay for it?" Chen Luo took the Buddhist scriptures and flipped through them. The handwriting inside was neat. This is modern Suzhou paper, which is very thin to the touch. The records in the scriptures are the sixth volume of the Diamond Sutra.

"When traveling to Mount Wutai, the man said it was given to him by a monk in the temple. Recently, money was tight. I bought it from him for 3000 yuan." The person who brought the treasure was a little embarrassed, I don't know if I was embarrassed to pick up the cheap, or I spent the wrong money, and my face turned red while talking.

There are too many people who want to get rich overnight.

When Chen Luo saw that the other party didn't buy it at a big price, he spoke casually: "I also want to buy antiques for 3000 yuan. You have a big dream. It's a pity that you were cheated. There are many versions of the 42 chapters, from the Yuan Dynasty, The Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the on-site market is generally from the Yuan Dynasty, there is more time in that time, the next is the Ming Dynasty, and the least is the Qing Dynasty, do you know why? ”

"You are an expert, how do I know, was it snatched by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces?" said the master of the scriptures.

"The Bannermen were formerly Jurchen. The Jurchen tribe has beliefs in nature, the gods of heaven and earth, and the Temple of Heaven in the capital is where they worship the gods. There are very few "42 Chapters" left during the Qing Dynasty. It is a clear version, but it is fake. Yes, if this kind of thing has been in the antique market for a year or two, you will be able to see that this kind of thing is fake. When you buy things in the future, you must be aware that the Buddhist scriptures will have some scent of incense candles. When monks have been exposed to incense candles for a long time, when they read Buddhist scriptures , written in ink."

"When the weather is humid, the paper sticks, which is not conducive to reading. Monks will saliva and flip through the scriptures, and there will be obvious marks on the edges of the pages, with a certain smell of incense. This scriptures are all Buddhist incense, which is deliberately used by the seller. It's scented."

Chen Luo talked eloquently and shared his experience in appraising treasures with many Tibetan friends.

Everyone saw that the edges of the pages were very clean, and Chen Luo's explanation before them benefited them a lot.

"Thank you for the expert comments. I will definitely pay attention next time." The owner of the scriptures was also convinced and expressed his sincere gratitude.

There is no next chapter, let's look at others first
