Zhang Ruisong still stayed in the door for too long and was a little too naive in his thinking.
It may also be that he is very confident in his daughter's power, but he has no awareness of the danger of detonating the thunder himself.
I saw him first picking up the dog, pointing to the two words and saying, "Zhongxian, these two words do not refer to dogs as loyal and virtuous animals, but to Wei Zhongxian as a dog.
The treasure character engraved under the dragon is self-proclaimed.
These wood carvings are the works of Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, who was known as the Carpenter Emperor.
Before he was 5 years old, he lived in the cold palace without a name. Those who took care of him called him Bao'er, which was also his nickname.
The An carved under the pig refers to the eunuch Wang An, which means Wang An is as stupid as a pig.
The straight under the snake refers to the imperial censor Zuo Guangdou, which means Zuo Guangdou is as cunning as a snake.
Oh, Zuo Guangdou's nickname is Yi Zhi.
The word "hundred" engraved under the rat does not refer to the number, but to Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong economic history at that time. The character for that guy is "feibai".
The loss of Liaoyang was all thanks to that rat, and Zhu Youxiao hated him to death.
The last tiger refers to Yang Lian, the most famous leader of the Donglin Party at that time.
Yang Lian was the capital, and the Donglin Party controlled the imperial power and exerted more restraints on the emperor. In the emperor's heart, he was a ferocious tiger.
And Yang Lian’s nickname is Dahong.
Although I don't know why these things would appear in the tomb of a fourth-grade civil servant, and they were superfluously made up into the 12 zodiac signs.
But these wood carvings were indeed made by the unlucky carpenter emperor, perhaps just to vent his dissatisfaction.
And these pieces of wood are not ordinary boxwood. If you don't believe it, you can test it with a basin.
Boxwood floats on the water, but these pieces are made of jade silkworm gall wood, which is heavier than boxwood and will sink to the bottom when put into water. "
The fat man’s eyes widened, “Uncle, are you kidding me?
Are these little things really carved by the emperor himself? "
Boss Gao immediately sneered, "If you don't have good eyesight, your eloquence is good, but it's fine if you don't speak books.
Look, you can do it in a fashionable way.
A wood carving carved by the emperor himself?
Why don't you say that those two vases of yours were fired in the kiln by Taishang Laojun himself? "
As soon as he said this, several bosses he was close to also covered their mouths and snickered, as if they were looking at fools.
On the other hand, the two old men who specialized in antiques from the Ming Dynasty had solemn expressions on their faces. One of them took a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the background of the wood carvings, looking uncertain.
Xue Wu was moved when he saw their expressions. He couldn't tell whether this thing was genuine or not, but he knew that among the group of people present, these two were the most knowledgeable about Ming Dynasty objects.
Look at their expressions, this thing can't be real!
The old gentleman asked Zhang Ruisong solemnly, "Brother, how do you determine that these wood carvings were made by the carpenter emperor?
Just relying on these few words, the explanation is a bit far-fetched! "
Zhang Ruisong touched the back of his head in confusion, "This carving technique is Zhu Youxiao's usual technique.
And if you specialize in the history of the Ming Dynasty, you should have seen Zhu Youxiao's handwriting in museums and other places.
When I was a kid, I had a wooden toy from the Bajiao Pavilion. My dad said it was the work of Zhu Youxiao, and it had exactly the same handwriting as this carver.
If I have to talk about evidence, then this jade silkworm gall tree should be considered the main evidence.
This thing is a tribute. No one except the emperor can carve 6 of these small objects. "
A boss in the crowd who specializes in wood carving nodded, "The jade silkworm gall tree was indeed a tribute in the Ming Dynasty.
It is possible that local officials hid one or two small pieces secretly, but it is true that only the emperor had the right to use such a large piece of six.
But how do you prove that this is the jade silkworm gall tree?
I have been playing with wood for decades and have handled countless red sandalwood and huanghuali trees, but I have only seen a small piece of jade silkworm gall wood as big as my thumb.
This one does look very similar, but the carvings on it have covered up the special pattern, so it's really hard to tell. "
Zhang Ruisong frowned lightly, "The so-called jade silkworm gall tree is actually boxwood.
It's just that during the growth process, a kind of insect called jade silkworm was born.
In order to protect itself after worms are born, the boxwood secretes a large amount of special juice to kill the worms in the body, and slowly wraps them up to form a kind of tree tumor.
It is denser and harder than boxwood, because the sap reacts with bugs to produce medicinal value.
To tell the difference, one is to check the density by submerging it in water, and the other is to look at the medicinal properties.
Jade silkworm gall wood has a very good hemostatic effect. Just a little powder can stop the wound from bleeding instantly.
Or put it next to your pillow and sleep overnight to calm down and concentrate. "
The woodworking boss's eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, yes, this guy is right. It seems you really have researched this jade silkworm gall tree."
The fat man immediately felt distressed when he heard that the powder was scraped off, "Uncle Zhang, if this is really the wood that you said, it is a treasure. If it is really carved by the emperor, it will be extremely expensive. I don't want to scrape it off."
If they don't believe it, even if we lose, I'll give him 300,000 and we can take this treasure home.
If you scrape it off, it will be more than 300,000. "
Zhang Ruisong didn't care. It wasn't his bet anyway. If the fat man hadn't always said he couldn't be embarrassed, he wouldn't have wanted to expose the treasure.
Everyone hesitated when they heard the fat man said to admit defeat and take away the treasure.
Especially Xue Wu, if these wood carvings were really carved by Emperor Xizong himself, then the auction would be worth 200 million.
How could he be willing to just let someone spend 300,000 to take it away?
The two old gentlemen who specialize in Ming Dynasty objects also wanted to take a look again. They had actually seen the wood carvings of Emperor Xizong.
It was because the engraving and calligraphy all matched up that they were so confused.
When the fat man saw the situation, he quickly hugged the wooden sculptures into his arms, "I said, are you still being unreasonable?
Fatty bought this thing, why don’t I give up and stop gambling?
I'll give him the 300,000 yuan for his pile of stuff, and you just think that my pile of stuff is worthless and I lose, that's it! "
The more he behaved like this, the more curious everyone became. Xue Wu winked, and Lao Liu hurriedly brought a basin of water over and said with a smile, "Fat Master, don't worry, no one will rob you.
Isn’t this what everyone is curious about?
Everyone feels distressed when this baby is shaved. Why don't we try soaking it in water? "
The fat man shook his head like a wave, "That's no good. Wood is most likely to crack when soaked in water. Can you afford to pay for hurting my baby?"
The more he protected Xue Wu, the more unwilling he became. If he really wanted Fatty Wang to take away the emperor's handicraft worth 200 million, he would regret it in the future.
You have to be trustworthy in this business, but you don’t have to be so trustworthy.
If the value is several times different and someone misses it, he will naturally be ridiculed by his colleagues if he goes back on his word.
But if someone like this pays a huge price before leaving home, don’t pretend to be generous. Only if someone takes it away will you be called a fool.
Thinking of this, Xue Wu waved, and several guys immediately gathered around him.
The fat man immediately showed a fierce look in his eyes, "Xue Wuye, what are you doing?
This is a bit unethical. "
Xue Wu chuckled, "Fat Master misunderstood, no matter what, it's all things that came out of me. If you don't let me see clearly, I won't be able to sleep in the future.
Could you please trouble me and check it out? "
The fat man also knew that he couldn't be tough on this matter, so he reluctantly threw the smallest mouse into the basin.
The wooden sculpture sank directly to the bottom of the basin when it encountered water. The fat man fished it back out with quick hands and eyes, and wiped it quickly on his clothes a few times.
"Okay, okay, look at it.
I'll ask Fifth Master's people to help me take the remaining things to the shop.
Our uncle and nephew will no longer accompany us. "
Those people saw the wood carving sinking to the bottom and were snatched back by the fat man before they could react. But everyone also understood that this wood carving was indeed not an ordinary boxwood.
Not only Xue Wu was jealous, but no one present was jealous.
Xue Wu could no longer afford to be reserved. When the fat man walked to the door, he immediately called for a group of people to surround him. "
