Chapter 239 Lion Candlestick

Originally, Chen Ran didn't pay much attention to the candlestick in front of him. Although some candlesticks were also of great value, they were only a minority after all, and the candlestick in front of him was just an ordinary lion-shaped candlestick. There was nothing special about it. However, when Chen Ran was about to absorb the light circle of the candlestick, he was stunned.

Chen Ran has been releasing 27 circles of energy before drawing out the circles of light on the candlestick. There are a total of fifteen circles of light drawn out, and after absorbing fifteen circles of energy, all 27 circles of energy have been consumed.

What does this result show? First of all, this candlestick has a history of more than 500 years. More than 500 years is almost the Sui Dynasty or a little before the Sui Dynasty, and the energy circle consumed indicates the production of this candlestick. It's extremely beautiful.

Chen Ran, who hadn't paid much attention to it at first, immediately paid more attention to this candlestick after detecting such a result, and looked at the candlestick in front of him again, but he observed carefully for a long time, but he didn't notice the candlestick. The history of the candlestick.

Seeing that Chen Ran was observing the candlestick, Wang Zhiqing also leaned over, took out a magnifying glass, and began to observe the mansion from the light stand of the candlestick bit by bit to identify the authenticity of an antique, not just by looking at it. For the object itself, it is necessary to observe every detail of the object. Facts have proved that the authenticity often depends on these details, just like the Tianhuang Luohan statue that Chen Ran just identified.

Although he paid more attention to this candlestick, Chen Ran didn't show any strangeness on the surface. After observing quietly, he saw that most of the others had returned to him. He got out of the crowd and returned to the place where he was sitting just now.

"Brother Chen, have you found any good things? Recommend one or two to my brother." Zhu Feng only had a half-knowledge about antiques. When he used to look at things, he just glanced at them in turn. He saw Chen Ran observing them carefully. , He didn't bother Chen Ran, he went back here and sat down to wait. Now that he saw Chen Ran sitting back, he immediately moved to Chen Ran's side and asked with a smile.

Chen Ran didn't hide his clumsiness either. The him now is different from the one he had when he first had the supernatural power. At that time, he had to be careful about picking up any leaks, lest others would suspect him and discover his secrets. , but now it is different, no matter how many mistakes he picks up now, others will not doubt him, they will only praise him for his good eyesight, and even the word luck will not be used on him.

When he was not well-known, picking up a leak would be said to be good luck and luck, but now that he is well-known, if he picks up a leak, no one will say that. He will only say that he has good eyesight. That's the benefit of being famous.

"Brother Feng, that cloisonné copper pagoda is not bad, but the others are not accurate."

Chen Ran pondered for a while, and then answered Zhu Feng's question. He deliberately lowered his voice so that only Zhu Feng and himself could hear. The objects that the monk put up were actually good, except for this one Except for the cloisonné copper pagoda, everything else is fake, and the auction price must far exceed its own value.

In fact, Chen Ran wanted to take this cloisonne copper pagoda, but he didn't have enough funds at this time, so he just let Zhu Feng forget it.

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhu Feng was startled, then nodded calmly, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Ran's shoulder, turned around, and started drinking tea with a smile.

Just as Zhu Feng turned his body around, Wang Zhiqing also sat back. At this time, he seemed a little excited. As soon as he sat down, he leaned over to Chen Ran and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ran, is that Tian Huang Arhat statue?" What do you think?"

In fact, at this moment, not only Wang Zhiqing seemed a little excited, but other people also had strange eyes. Although they all pretended not to care, their eyes glanced at the Tianhuang Luohan statue from time to time.

"Brother Wang, Tian Huang is the real thing, but Luo Han seems to be the work of Yang Yuanzu, so it's hard to say." Seeing Wang Zhiqing's appearance, Chen Ran didn't know that Wang Zhiqing had the intention to photograph it. Naturally, you can't just watch the other party suffer, especially if the loss is not a small one.

Wang Zhiqing was startled, and then asked uncertainly, "How?"

Chen Ran stopped talking nonsense with him, and just listened to him, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wang, go and see the mark of Grandfather Yang..."

Wang Zhiqing looked at Chen Ran in surprise, then frowned and began to ponder. After pondering, he couldn't be sure, so he hesitated for a while, stood up, walked over again, and carefully observed the statue of Tian Huang Arhat. It is naturally the imprint of Yang's originator.

About 2 minutes later, Wang Zhiqing sat back calmly. Although his face looked normal at this time, after he sat down, Chen Ran found a bruise on his forehead. The fine sweat was obviously from being shocked.

"Xiao Ran, you're right. I really didn't notice it just now. After a closer look, I found something wrong. The brushstrokes and lines of the word 'Yuxuan' imprinted on this Tian Huang Arhat statue are similar to that of Yang's originator. There is some way out of the imprint, just above the character 'Jade', in the imprint of the originator of Yang, the character 'Yu' is connected at one point, although the character 'Yu' is also connected in the imprint of this Tianhuang Luohan statue , but the connection is a bit blunt, it's more like the unconnected "jade" character was engraved first, and then it was tampered with connected... Damn, it's so dangerous, I almost punched the eye, Xiaoran, it's still yours You have good eyesight, no wonder the old man thinks so highly of you, you can't accept it."

With Wang Zhiqing's temper, he even burst into a foul language, it can be seen that he was really scared just now. In fact, even now, he has not recovered from the shock, and his heart is still pounding. Jumping, just now he had made up his mind to take a picture of this Tianhuang Arhat. If he really took the picture, he would be in a big loss. There is enough for him to drink a pot, so at this moment he is both grateful and admired by Chen Ran.

Chen Ran didn't say anything, just patted his arm to comfort him.

"Now that my friends have seen it, let's start bidding. First, No. [-], which is the cloisonné copper pagoda from the Qing Dynasty. Everyone has seen this copper pagoda. Let's bid now! "

After seeing that everyone sat down, the monk didn't talk nonsense, and started the auction directly. The first thing to be auctioned was the cloisonne copper pagoda that Chen Ran had taken a fancy to.

"I bid 35 yuan for this cloisonne copper tower!"

"I bid 40 million!"

"I bid 45 million!"

As soon as the monk's voice fell, a few price calls rang out, and the price quickly rose to 45. At this time, Zhu Feng was still drinking tea with a smile on his face. When Mr. Lin raised the price When it reached 50, he suddenly shouted: "70!"

This sudden increase of 20 suddenly made everyone stunned, but no one bid anymore.

"Boss Zhu bid 70 yuan. Is there anyone else who bids? If not, then...the deal is done!" Although the monk shouted slowly, he simply said that the deal was done when he saw no one bid. , so as not to offend the big boss Zhu.

In the end, this cloisonne copper pagoda was bought by Zhu Feng at a price of 70 yuan. Given the integrity of this cloisonne copper pagoda, this price is not high. According to Chen Ran's estimation, although it may not be possible to pay a million yuan , but it will definitely be no problem to get a photo of *** 70. Now that Zhu Feng has taken a photo of [-], it can be regarded as a small leak.

Of course, there is a reason why Zhu Feng was able to take pictures of it. One is that other people are unwilling to rob him, because when Zhu Feng wants something, he doesn’t care about the actual value of the thing, so he keeps shouting. Yes, other people naturally don't want to compete with him. If Zhu Feng suddenly stops midway if he shouts, those who shout after him will suffer a lot.

Another point is that although this cloisonné copper pagoda is good, if it was auctioned on the occasion of Jianbao just now, it would definitely be snapped up, but now because there are better things behind, everyone present also paid attention to it. Those who put all their energy on the things behind and plan to concentrate their funds to take pictures of the good things behind will not spend their money on this cloisonne copper tower at this time.

Everyone held such an idea, so Zhu Feng was naturally taken advantage of.

"Okay, now we're going to auction Lot No. 20, which is this jade cicada from the Han Dynasty. The reserve price is [-] yuan. Let's bid accordingly."

After the auction, there is no need to sell it immediately. After the auction is over, it is enough to sell it together. The people present are not ordinary people. The monk is not afraid that someone will renege on his debt, so after the first auction is completed, the second auction will begin immediately. up.

"I bid 40 yuan!" This time, it was old man Huang who was the first to ask for the price, and immediately raised the price of 20 yuan, making the audience quiet for a while, but it was only for a while. , After everyone reacted, they immediately started calling for prices.

Compared with the first cloisonné copper pagoda, the competition for this jade cicada was obviously much fiercer. In less than a while, this jade cicada was called to the early one million mark.

Wang Zhiqing is also a jade collector. He was also moved by the jade cicada just now. When he was looking at it, he also wanted to take a picture of it. It's just that the portrait of Tianhuang Arhat that he saw next moved his heart even more, but who Knowing that this Tianhuang Arhat statue turned out to be a modern work of art, he was frightened for a while, but now he is much more cautious. He dare not make a move on this jade cicada.

Zhu Feng's eyesight to Chen Ran was unbelievable. Chen Ran told him that except for this cloisonne copper pagoda, which was not bad, he was not sure about other things, so he took pictures of this cloisonne copper pagoda. He was satisfied, and now he was drinking tea leisurely while looking at the competing crowd.

While Chen Ran was looking at the bidding crowd, he was thinking about the candlestick he saw just now...
