Chapter 700 Penglai Wonderland Picture
Standing outside the store, looking at this quite old building, according to common sense, the lighting in the store should be very bad.
Most of the walls of this old building are made of rock, extremely thick, and have few windows. Lights are often required to be turned on during broad daylight.
However, when Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin opened the store and walked into it hand in hand, their eyes suddenly became clear.
The store is not as dark as expected, and it can even be said to be very bright!
Chen Yu subconsciously looked up to find the light source, but he saw that there was no common second-floor floor block above his head. The entire space was tall and wide, with a height of six or seven meters.
Not only that, several spacious windows were added to the walls, and plenty of light was poured into it without any obstacles.
This scene made Chen Yu very amazed!
Seeing Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin walking into the door hand in hand, a young clerk who looked over 20 was talking to an old man in Tang suit. When he saw a new customer, he quickly smiled apologetically at the old man, and explained a few more words. Then he quickly met the two and greeted them politely, "Madam, sir, what antiques do you want to buy in the small store?"
Chen Yu waved his hand with a smile, and then replied: "We came from the mainland to travel. When we meet the antiques we like, the price is also appropriate, so buy them!
"If not, just take a look at shopping."
The clerk nodded, his smile on his face remained unabashed, "Welcome, you two can watch it casually, and you can call me any time you need."
He said, while looking at the two of them quickly and quietly.
After seeing this, he directly concluded that the two people in front of him were potential big customers.
Because the fabrics and styles of Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin's clothing are top-notch.
He has seen this kind of fabric in the top customers and bosses of the store, and is said to be from a well-known international fashion designer.
As you can see from the clothes alone, this pair of guests is either rich or noble.
Not to mention Pei Yuqin's wrist is worthless glass-type jade bracelet.
The shop guy looked at Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin.
The two of them were also looking at the various antiques in the store!
The store has a wide range of collections, making people dizzy.
There are more than twenty calligraphy and paintings hanging in the empty walls, with yellowed paper and ancient ink. There are a few pictures with some famous inscriptions on them, which look like ancient paintings that are circulated in an orderly manner.
There are more porcelain!
Hundreds of porcelain are placed on display stands or in glass display cabinets. The shape is simple and the glaze is bright and there is no stunning appearance. It can be said to be full of ancient flavor!
Other antiques, such as ancient jade, ancient coins, gold and silverware, exudes the strong smell of old objects under the light.
The layout of Hong Kong Island antique shop is very different from that in the mainland.
The antiques in mainland antique shops are often placed on antique wooden shelves. In order to show their strength, some shops will also specially purchase some mahogany furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties to create a strong luxurious atmosphere.
Most of the antiques on Hong Kong Island are displayed in glass display cabinets like jewelry stores.
The transparent glass shelves are paired with soft lighting to create an excellent visual effect.
The light and shadow intertwined, and each collection was made more exquisite. Although I have been to Hong Kong many times, every time I look at it, Chen Yu felt very novel.
Chen Yu observed calligraphy, painting, porcelain, ancient jade and ancient coins, and Pei Yuqin was on Taobao in the jewelry area.
Looking at various exquisitely shaped ancient jewelry, small stars seemed to emerge in my eyes!
Finally, she picked up a golden hairpin and looked at it carefully, and she couldn't let it go!
Chen Yu looked at it and found that the golden hairpin was exquisitely crafted, the hairpin was thin and round, and there was a carefully crafted and small and exquisite phoenix on the head. It was a phoenix-headed hairpin.
"Qiannan, do you think this golden hairpin is beautiful?"
Chen Yu took it and weighed it. It was very heavy, but it was actually solid! I am afraid it would have to be more than 40 grams.
Let’s look at the hairpin body using techniques similar to micro-carving, engraving auspicious words of wealth and glory and a happy marriage for a century.
One of them is a poem that Chen Yu likes very much, "There is no colorful phoenix flying wings, and the heart is in harmony."
Because there was no price tag, Chen Yu waved to the young man who had just received him, "How much does this golden hairpin cost?"
The young man took out his notepad and searched it, "Sir, this phoenix-headed hairpin is an antique from the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. It is also extremely exquisitely made, and the price is 98,000 yuan."
Chen Yu nodded and handed over the credit card he had with him, "Pack it up for me!"
Before the young man could take it over, Pei Yuqin took the credit card first, "Qiannan, the price of 98,000 yuan is too expensive. If it is a thing like gold hairpin, it doesn't matter whether it is an antique. I think we should go back to Dongjiang and buy it!"
Chen Yu smiled and gently patted Pei Yuqin's smooth back of his hand, "Sister Qin, it's rare that you have something you like, and it's not very expensive, and the creation is quite exquisite, just buy it!"
At Shen Yu's insistence, Pei Yuqin had no choice but to nod.
After swiping the card, the young clerk skillfully picked up a clean white cotton cloth and carefully wiped the golden hairpin.
Don't let go of every bit of dirt until the surface of the golden hairpin is shining with a dazzling luster.
Then, he gently placed the golden hairpin into an exquisite red rectangular wooden box, and carefully tied a Ruyi knot to the box.
The golden hairpin is an old object, so I didn’t look at it much as Chen Yu of the Qianlong Dynasty.
Sister Qin likes it, just buy it!
"The boundary painting is not priced, so I wonder what the price is for a store?"
Chen Yu pointed to a beautiful colored and neatly brushed ink behind the glass cover. He asked the young clerk at the boundary painting called "Penglai Wonderland Picture".
The young clerk looked in the direction of Chen Yu's finger. He was stunned at first, then he scratched his head and showed a hint of embarrassment, "Sir, this painting was placed in the store by a friend of our boss and asked the shop to sell it on his behalf.
"For the specific price, please wait a moment and I'll check the account book."
Chen Yu heard the clerk's answer and did not respond immediately. Instead, his eyes seemed to be attracted by magnets, staring straight at the painting, narrowing his starry eyes, and still fell into deep thought.
This painting is a boundary painting, which draws the legendary scene of Penglai Fairy Island.
There is a passage like this in the sixth volume of "Records of the Grand Historian and the Original Annals of Qin Shihuang".
Xu Fu wrote a letter and said to the Emperor: "There are three sacred mountains in the sea, called Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, and immortals live there."
Among them, Penglai is the most famous!
This painting is full of fairy spirit.
Fairy mountains and pavilions, clouds and mists are floating.
Spiritual birds and strange beasts appear vividly.
The immortals in the painting are even more vivid and exuding an extraordinary immortal temperament.
Some immortals sat cross-legged, with a simple-style elixir furnace in front of them, and the green smoke rose in the furnace, as if the elixir would jump out the next moment.
Some immortals hold talisman pens and draw various runes on the table.
Some immortals swung some strange objects, like mechanic puppet beasts.
There are also some immortals who leisurely ride cranes or other spiritual birds to visit friends and ask questions.
