Chapter 699 Visiting Antique Street

"After carefully putting "Mirror Flowers" back to its original place, I took a few more carefully read books, without exception, all of which were ancient books from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

“And it is a treasure in the Siku Quanshu!

"I really love one of the Ming-engraved versions of "Wenxin Diaolong"!

"In addition, there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, one of which turned out to be the original work of Shen Zhou, the first person in the Ming Dynasty painting world, "A Picture of Yanjiang Ancient Temple."

When Mr. Zhu said this, Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin looked at each other in a sympathetic manner and instantly saw the answer from each other's eyes!

"My elders are also in the Immortal Case!"

Of course, Chen Yu knew in his heart that he had an embarrassing thing like Mr. Wang experienced by his predecessors. Even if he knew about it, he would have to bury it deeply in his heart and never say it to others before he knew it.

In other words, you can't say anything now, you have to continue to pretend to be stupid and be an audience member and pretend not to know anything!

I heard Mr. Zhu continue to tell the story, "The master of the viewer is knowledgeable and talented. Whether it is calligraphy, painting, porcelain, or other miscellaneous items, he has unique and profound insights, which is admirable."

"Especially for the ancient books I love most, he hit the nail on the head. When I talked to him, I felt that I met too late and immediately led him as a confidant.

"Later, the sacred master talked about the various difficulties facing the Taoist temple, and his words were touching. At that time, I thought to myself that it was not easy to maintain a Taoist temple abroad, so I donated 20,000 US dollars on the spot, hoping to help him overcome the difficulties. As a thank you, the other party gave me some ancient coins."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhu's face changed slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his expression, "But later, after someone identified that those ancient coins were all fakes."

"But the offering money for this 'Tao Sutra Master' is really exquisite, so I stayed it.

"Xiao Shen, you said it was an object from the early Ming Dynasty. I wonder what aspects it was judged? Can you tell me about the identification skills? You know, I have found several old friends who are proficient in the identification of ancient coins, and they all say they are modern imitations!"

Chen Yu's face was still calm, but he secretly muttered in his heart.

He was not specialized in identifying ancient coins. If he had not been based on his special ability to learn treasures, he would not have been able to tell that this ancient coins were from the early Ming Dynasty.

Now Mr. Zhu asked about the basis for the identification, and for a moment, Chen Yu was a little confused about how to respond.

If you make a random mistake, I'm afraid the jade ornament will be messed up.

But if Ding is Ding Mao is Mao and Mao explains the key points of the appraisal, he doesn't know where to start.

"It seems that I can only find some ancient coin identification techniques to deal with it." Chen Yu thought to himself.

Perhaps because of his understanding, just when Shen Yu was in a dilemma, Pei Yuqin promptly relieved him: "Old Zhu, it's not to be concealed that Qi Nan's skill in identifying ancient coins was not learned from Grandpa Chen, but from another master of identification."

"You also know that most of the master-level figures do not want their unique skills to be easily spread. When Qi Nan first learned to identify ancient coins, he also agreed to the master and would not disclose the appraisal skills to others at will, so he really could not tell you the appraisal point.

"But please rest assured that Qi Nan has always been cautious and will not talk nonsense without foundation. Just believe him!"

When Zhu Lao heard this, he was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's the old man, I'm confused. I'm the art of identifying antiques, but the foundation of others, how can I tell others easily? Just like when I was carving jade, I didn't like others to watch from the side.

"Okay, I won't look for the ancient mirror anymore, just do what Xiao Shen said!"

...

The Antique Street of Helihuodao is intertwined with people, and the prosperity exudes a charm of combining ancient elegance and modern art.

In the afternoon, the sun was slightly warm, and Pei Yuqin gently held Chen Yu's arm, and the two of them walked leisurely, walking slowly on the street.

Zhu Lao said before that it takes three hours to carve the colorful butterfly jade ornament.

This period of time is not short and you can do a lot of things!

But it's not long, but in a blink of an eye.

Therefore, Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin did not plan to rush back to their villa, but decided to take a good look at this antique street that is most famous in Hong Kong Island and experience the unique artistic atmosphere here.

The two walked slowly, looking around, looking around, with great interest.

However, after not long after walking around, Chen Yu's expression gradually became a little strange.

Pei Yuqin keenly noticed his changes, and a gentle smile appeared on her extremely beautiful face, "Qiannan, have you seen many 'antiques' that are rare in antiques shops in mainland China?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and said, "Yes, look at the Tang Sancai camels placed behind the glass window, and those Buddha statues with different forms and vicissitudes. Whether they are genuine, fake, or modern artworks, they dare not put them out so blatantly in antique shops in mainland China.

"Hey, although I have been here many times, I hope they are real every time I see it, but in fact they are all imitations or modern handicrafts! If it is true, I would be willing to buy it no matter how much it costs and donate it to the Dongjiang or Chuzhou Museum."

Continuing along the Antique Street, after walking hundreds of steps, Chen Yu and Pei Yuqin's eyes were attracted by an antique plaque.

The plaque is not big, hanging on the lintel, with three large regular characters "Boguxuan" written on it.

The pen is vigorous and full of wood, and the ink rhyme seems to exude a sense of pride.

Judging from the plaque alone, the owner should be quite confident in the antiques in the store and even a little arrogant!

At the entrance of the store, two half-person-high white jade immortal statues stood quietly. The jade was a little rough, but the carving technique was very good. The immortal was elegant in posture and had a compassionate image. The clothes seemed to move with the wind, with a lifelike smell.

After looking at it, Chen Yu felt a little strange!

He felt very familiar. It seemed that these two immortals had seen them somewhere, but they couldn't remember them for a while.

After thinking about it, he said to Pei Yuqin: "Sister Qin, it is rare to see such an elegant antique shop on Hong Kong Island. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Pei Yuqin also had a trace of expectation in her eyes and nodded in agreement, "Qiannan, I have a premonition. You might be able to pick up a leak in this store today! And it might be a big leak!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He asked with a smile, "Pick up the bargain, isn't it Sister Qin, where does this matter start?"

Pei Yuqin smiled playfully and kept it a secret. After saying that, she took the lead in stepping into the store.

The store looks small, but it has a unique world when you step into it.

The store has an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, which is not large in the mainland, but it is rare to have an antique store of such a large scale in Hong Kong Island, where every inch of land is valuable.

At this time, there were a lot of customers in the store, and there were about twenty people. They stopped to check or talked softly, and some of them had already reached the bargaining stage.
