"Ah, two hundred thousand, I thought it was worth twenty thousand at most! Brother Yu, can such a small object be worth 200,000 yuan? Impossible!"
Shen Yu carefully put down the jewelry box, and then explained patiently: "The price of ordinary lacquerware in the market is not very high, ranging from a few hundred yuan to a few thousand yuan, and even tens of thousands of yuan.
"However, the market price of high-quality lacquerware has always been high. It can be said that the polarization is very serious. Especially the Kangxi Dynasty lacquerware, which can be said to be high-quality in appearance and technology, is even more difficult to find.
"If it is lacquerware used by the royal family, it is not unusual for it to fetch millions or even tens of millions at auction, so I gave this black lacquer and gold jewelry box an estimate of 200,000, which is not too high."
"That's great. If I can pick up an antique worth 200,000 yuan, then I can be considered an antique collector!" When Gu Qingqing was sure that he had picked up a big piece of antiques, he was so happy that his hands even trembled slightly with excitement.
Of course, with Gu Qingqing's financial resources, a mere 200,000 yuan is not affordable, but picking up this piece of Qing Dynasty lacquerware can prove her vision in every aspect.
It also directly proves that her hard work in learning antique appraisal over the past few months has not been in vain.
What's more, facing Shen Yu, she is no longer a newbie who doesn't know how to get started, but can help Shen Yu, a person who is helpful to Shen Yu's career.
Shen Yu pretended to glance at his sister Qin accidentally, and found that Pei Yuqin was also listening attentively, and there was nothing strange about her, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
There were four pieces left. Shen Yu looked back and forth a few times, then gently touched the jade sculpture of a Taoist immortal.
This is a rather large statue of an immortal, reaching a rare height of thirty centimeters.
From ancient times to the present, among the jade carvings of figures from the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, Buddhism is the most popular.
Except for the Eight Immortals, not many Taoist immortal jade carvings have been handed down.
This is a standing statue of a deity with white eyebrows and white hair, dressed as a Taoist priest, wearing a Hunyuan scarf on his head, a bagua robe, a long sword on his back, and a wine gourd on his waist.
Under the statue of the immortal, a rock base was carved out with exquisite knife skills. The old Taoist stepped on the rock with a solemn expression, looking into the distance as if he was thinking about something important.
It is worth mentioning that the jade used in this Taoist statue is not Hetian jade, but Lantian jade, which belongs to the same four famous jade.
Seeing this, Shen Yu deliberately asked Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, how did you buy this statue of an immortal?"
Gu Qingqing was very straightforward, "I also bought it at Qingniuguan Antique Market. This stall is not far from the stall selling lacquer jewelry boxes. What's more interesting is that they went to other provinces together to dig out an old house and got off the train to go home. After a short sleep, I hurried to the market to set up a stall. When I bought this fairy jade sculpture, it was in really average condition. I wiped it out bit by bit with a towel."
Shen Yu asked again, "What kind of jade is this made of? Qingqing, do you know?"
Gu Qingqing: "Lantian jade, it would be great if it were Hetian jade, the price might be much higher."
Shen Yu shook his head after hearing this, "In the Ming, Qing and modern times, Hetian jade was naturally more expensive than Lantian jade, but in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, Lantian jade was very popular, not inferior to Hetian jade at all. The so-called Canghai The moon's pearls shed tears, and the warm sun in Lantian produces smoke. The jade in this famous poem refers to Lantian jade."
Gu Qingqing and Pei Yuqin were both extremely smart. After hearing what Shen Yu said, the two beauties were slightly startled, and then they asked Shen Yu in unison:
"Qinan, are you saying that this immortal jade sculpture is from the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty?"
"Brother Yu, could it be said that this jade sculpture of mine is from the Tang and Song Dynasties?"
"Jade carvings from the Tang and Song Dynasties? Well, it's possible, of course, it may not be." Shen Yu pretended to be mysterious and said something ambiguous.
This sentence directly made Pei Yuqin and Gu Qingqing roll their eyes.
In fact, Shen Yu was not innocent. Under this immortal jade sculpture, he found several small seal-engraved characters, which may have been blurred due to too long time.
Shen Yu roughly saw four characters: Tang, Qiu Yizhi.
Who is this Qiu Yizhi? He is Qiu Yanhan, one of the great Feng Shui masters in the Tang Dynasty.
Qiu Yanhan is recognized as the fourth great Feng Shui master after Guo Pu, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng.
He is even revered as the Patriarch of Feng Shui by many Feng Shui masters.
This Feng Shui master is a truly long-lived man. He rose to fame during the Yonghui reign of Li Zhi, and was granted the official position of Ya Dafu during the Kaiyuan reign of Li Longji.
In total, he is at least a hundred years old.
His metaphysical books include "Five Schools of Tongtian Bureau", "Tianji Sushu", "Stealing Mysteries of Heaven", "Shading Sutra", "Bronze Letters", "Golden Mirror Diagram", "Haijiao Sutra", etc. .
However, most of them have been lost, and those that have been handed down are not authentic.
If this jade sculpture is really a statue of Qiu Zu from the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty, it would be a rare treasure.
Just when Shen Yu wanted to meditate on the treasure and take a look at the age of this immortal statue.
After two gentle knocks, the door of Gu Qingqing's office was pushed open from the outside, and then two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, slowly walked in.
The man is about fifty years old, wearing a casual jacket and black trousers. He has an elegant appearance. Even if he is standing casually at the door, he has the aura of a scholar.
The woman looks younger, in her early forties, wears rimless eyes, and an exquisite gray women's suit. She is noble and solemn, and her movements naturally reveal a pampered and elegant demeanor.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed towards the two of them happily.
Xu Huiping doted on Gu Qingqing and tied up some of Gu Qingqing's somewhat scattered hair, "I came to Donggu today to buy some seasonal clothes for your grandpa and your grandparents. I also cooked some chicken soup for you and brought it over. Drink it while it's hot. ."
She drank it while it was hot and said it, but Xu Huiping did not hand the thermos soup pot in her hand to Gu Qingqing. Instead, she turned to look at Shen Yu, "Long time no see, Xiao Shen. Auntie is really thinking about you!"
Then she looked at Pei Yuqin and said, "Yuqin, you are here too. Is Uncle Pei okay?"
"Hello, Auntie! Hello, Uncle Gu!"
"Hello Sister Huiping, hello Brother Gu, my father is in good health recently."
It was Shen Yu who called uncle. Because Gu Yongshan was several years older than Shen Sanyun, it was natural for Shen Yu to call him uncle.
The people who called Sister Xu and Brother Gu were Pei Yuqin. This was not because Pei Yuqin was older, but because Pei Shao had a son later, Pei Shao was much older than Gu Yongshan, and Pei Shao started business very early. Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Gu are considered equals, so Pei Yuqin, Gu Yongshan and Xu Huiping can only talk about being on the same level as each other.
Gu Yongshan and Xu Huiping arrived unexpectedly and left quickly. After saying a few words to Gu Qingqing, they were about to leave.
"Xiao Shen, go home for dinner when you have time."
Just when Xu Huiping was about to walk out of the office door, she suddenly turned around and extended an invitation to Shen Yu for dinner.
