"Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with Teacher Shen's appraisal results?"
"I'm satisfied. What's wrong with this? It's impossible to buy authentic works of celebrities for six thousand yuan, so I came here with the idea of giving it a try.
"If it's really an authentic painting by a certain famous artist, then it's like winning the lottery. It's nothing to collect, right? It's just for fun." The middle-aged man surnamed Chen still looked like he was smiling, not bothered by the fact that his painting was worthless. Annoyed.
Shen Yu had already skillfully rolled up the painting and was about to help Chen Chixia's cousin put the painting into the wooden box.
He glanced at the wooden box habitually, and after just one glance, Shen Yu felt a shiver in his heart.
I saw a ball of precious light suddenly condensed three inches above the wooden box, about six inches in length, and finally turned into a dark blue light group the size of a walnut.
"This???" Shen Yu didn't know how to describe the scene that happened in front of him.
This wooden box containing paintings is still a treasure?
Shen Yu put down the painting and picked up the wooden box.
The wooden box is thickly patinated and has warm tentacles. It is about one meter long and about twenty centimeters wide. As long as it is not a huge painting, generally speaking, there is no problem in containing any scroll painting.
Carved on the front is a picture of wonderland.
I saw countless fairy birds and beasts soaring in the sky in the vast sea of clouds.
There are also thousands of waterfalls pouring down from several fairy mountains, as if they will never stop.
There is a huge lake with rich spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain.
There are several pavilions with cornices, carved beams and painted beams built on the shore of the lake.
Outside the fairy mountain pavilion, several immortals in gorgeous costumes were playing the piano, playing chess, or sitting cross-legged.
Not far away, several boys in Taoist robes were talking to each other around a huge alchemy furnace, as if they were studying how to refine the elixir.
The surrounding fairy grass and spiritual fruits are in full bloom, and spiritual springs are surging. Immortal music is floating in the air, and the spiritual mist is permeating the air.
Shen Yu already knew what this wooden box was and nodded gently.
Over there, Song Jiajia comforted the middle-aged man named Chen with a few words not to be upset, as he might come across better collections in the future, and then turned his attention to Shen Yu.
Song Jiajia was a little surprised to see Shen Yu holding the wooden box with an unusually focused expression.
But she was very smart and quickly realized that the wooden box might be unusual.
"Could this wooden box be an antique or a very precious antique?"
"Teacher Shen, do you think there is anything wrong with this wooden box?" Song Jiajia took two steps forward and asked.
Shen Yu smiled: "There is nothing wrong with this wooden box, but it is a very cherished antique."
"Antique?"
Shen Yu nodded, "Yes, if I read it correctly, this should be an ancient painting box."
"Painting box? Teacher Shen, can you explain it to the audience in detail?"
"Of course. Friends who often watch TV series or movies should know that ancient knights had sword boxes, and collectors naturally also had painting boxes.
"The painting box, to put it bluntly, is a box used by ancient people to store scrolls and paintings.
"In ancient times, people did not always hang calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
"It's very difficult to keep the paintings after they are hung on the wall. They may be damaged by moisture, smoke, dust, or insects and rats, and they may lose their appearance in a few years.
"You can avoid the above trouble by rolling up the ancient paintings and putting them in the painting box. If you want to read them, take them out and copy them. This will not only prevent moisture, but also avoid the harm of insects and ants.
"So, if a painting is very precious, many people will carefully put the painting in a box for safekeeping."
Song Jiajia listened with great concentration. After Shen Yu finished speaking, she asked: "I wonder what kind of wood is used to make painting boxes?"
Shen Yu spoke directly without any thought, "Generally speaking, the wood for painting boxes is usually camphor or nanmu, because these two types of wood contain unique fragrance, and this fragrance has a natural effect of driving away insects and ants, which can be said to be insect-proof. Very strong."
"What material is Mr. Chen's painting box made of?"
"Host, please look at this box. The gold threads inside this box are shining, and the luster is like satin. It gives people a brilliant and brocade feeling. It should be considered the king of nanmu, the golden nanmu with the title of the king of trees." Shen Yu said. explained.
As soon as Shen Yu said "golden nanmu", the audience immediately became energetic.
At the same time, barrages were flying in the live broadcast room of "Shengshi Collection".
"Wow, today is really not in vain. I actually saw the golden nanmu, the king of famous trees."
"Jinsi Nan, it is said that one tael of nanmu is worth one tael of gold. This painting box must weigh more than ten kilograms, right? How much does it cost?"
"Who knows how much it costs, anyway, nothing used by the royal family is cheap."
"It is said that the golden nanmu is immune to insects, does not rot for thousands of years, is not cold to the touch in winter, is not hot to the touch in summer, and is as hard as iron and stone. I don't know if it is true?"
"I also want to know, who will give me a piece of golden nanmu? I know carpentry, I will make two ornaments, one for each of us (silly laugh)"
……
Shen Yu gently put down the painting box, "Although the golden nanmu is not completely extinct, most of the golden nanmu we see now are from ancient times, especially from the Ming and Qing dynasties."
"What's the reason?" Song Jiajia continued to ask.
"Because too much golden nanmu was cut down in ancient times, even if it grows now, it is useless.
"And the plants are protected and no further cutting is allowed, so this painting box can be said to be very precious." Shen Yu made his own conclusion.
The expression on the face of the middle-aged man surnamed Chen changed. He was a little disbelieving, but more of a surprise, "Expert Shen, I wonder how much this painting box of mine is worth?"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "To be honest, I have only dabbled in miscellaneous items. I am not proficient in it. I don't know the specific value of this painting box. Why don't we ask Mr. Xing to appraise it."
Mr. Is it something from the early Ming Dynasty?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Chen was a little confused, "I know it was passed down from my ancestors. I really don't know which dynasty or generation it is from.

"To be honest with you, expert, this box was not used to hold this painting, but coins. But when I came here today, my wife said it didn't look good carrying the painting, so she found me this wooden box."
When Mr.
Shen Yu sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, there are many good people with great reputations. The old gentleman can clearly identify the generation after just a few glances. I still have a lot to learn."
"Mr. >
Mr. Xing smiled, "Although golden nanmu is more famous than rosewood and rosewood, there is not much to refer to in terms of price.
"First of all, because of its corrosion resistance and color, golden nan was mostly used as wood in the construction of imperial tombs and royal coffins in ancient times.
"Because this kind of tree matures slowly, there is not enough golden nanmu. In many cases, even if the emperor dies, there may not be enough golden nanmu coffins.
"This painting box is beautifully carved and well-coated. In my opinion, it can be sold for 14 to 50 million yuan.
"Of course, you can ask Xiao Pei for the specific market price. If I remember correctly, Gao Gu has taken pictures of Ming Dynasty furniture made of golden nanmu several times."
Song Jiajia turned around and smiled at Pei Yuqin: "Mr. Pei, I wonder what your valuation is for this painting box?"
With a smile in her beautiful eyes, Pei Yuqin gently picked up the microphone at hand and said: "There is no need for valuation. Since Mr. Xing and Mr. Shen have seen it, our Gaogu Auction House is willing to purchase this property for 1.7 million. Painting box."
Song Jiajia immediately asked the middle-aged man surnamed Chen: "Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with the price offered by Mr. Gaogu Pei?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Chen nodded quickly, "Satisfied, very satisfied."
"Okay, then please go to the VIP seats and sit down first. After the show is over, Ancient Auction will contact you."
The middle-aged man surnamed Chen picked up his golden nanmu painting box and walked quickly to the VIP seat opposite the expert seat and sat down.
To this day, he still finds it a bit incredible, how could such a small wooden box be sold for 1.7 million?
This is not 1.70 yuan, it is a real 1.7 million!!!
Is this wood or gold?
The atmosphere in the Shengshi Collection live broadcast room reached its peak.
"Wait a minute, am I right? The painting box is actually more valuable than the painting?"
"How much? 1.7 million for a wooden box?"
"Yes, I got a single-family villa. This uncle is really smoking from his ancestral grave."
"Brother, people's ancestral graves don't need to emit green smoke. They are originally objects passed down by their ancestors."
"Tsk, tsk, I also have a lot of old furniture at home, I don't know if it's worth anything."
"Brother, that's golden nanmu, and it's an old item passed down from the Ming Dynasty. Do you think it's old plywood furniture on the second-hand market?"
……
"Okay, please invite the second treasure holder to appear."
