Chapter 710: Superb Imperial Green
This pair of wood carvings is about fifty centimeters high, the appearance is simple and dignified, the whole body is painted with vermilion paint, and the divine beasts under the door god seat are painted with gold, whether it is red paint or gold paint, they are a little mottled under the erosion of the years, revealing the primer inside.
When Xia Ruofei was inspecting, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui also stared at the pair of wood carvings, wanting to see what was so extraordinary about this inconspicuous-looking wood carving.
Song Rui doesn't know anything about antiques, and Zhao Yongjun is not good at woodware, and the mystery of this pair of wood carvings is not in the wood carving itself, so the two naturally can't see the reason at all.
Some hard substances, such as rocks, ceramics and the like, can not be completely penetrated by spiritual power, so the exploration of spiritual power is not omnipotent, for example, if you want to use spiritual power to find out whether there is jadeite in the original stone, it is basically impossible, and a little deeper resistance will become very large.
Of course, if Xia Ruofei wants to explore the jadeite content in the original stone, he only needs to use the spirit picture scroll, and he does not need to use spiritual power.
Although mental power is not omnipotent, it is still very useful to investigate this wooden weapon.
In particular, the mystery of this wood carving is actually very simple, but it is very well disguised, even if the eyesight is good, it is not easy to see.
But under the scanning of Xia Ruofei's spiritual power, everything naturally had nothing to hide.
The spiritual power was like a CT scan, sweeping over the wood carving minute by minute, and Xia Ruofei soon discovered that there was a mystery in the base of the wood carving.
He suddenly smiled.
Song Rui asked impatiently, "Ruofei, do you see what's going on?"
Xia Ruofei smiled at the two, took out a sharp military dagger from his body, and said, "I'll make a trick for you!"
Then, Xia Ruofei casually picked up one of the wood carvings and placed it sideways on the table.
Xia Ruofei used a military dagger to gently scrape the base of the wood carving, and a mottled piece of paint was suddenly peeled off.
"......" Song Rui shouted, wanting to stop Xia Ruofei.
Although this wood carving is not very valuable, it is worth thousands of dollars, and this knife has destroyed the mottled lacquer surface naturally formed under the erosion of time, and the wood carving is basically wasted.
However, Xia Ruofei's movements were very fast, and Song Rui didn't have time to stop them.
However, Zhao Yongjun did not make a fuss, but his eyes lit up slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.
Xia Ruofei quickly put down the knife, and in the blink of an eye, almost all the paint at the bottom of the wood carving was scraped off.
Then Xia Ruofei gently swiped the tip of the knife on the base, and soon a small gap was exposed.
Zhao Yongjun's face changed, and he shouted: "The wood carving is hollow?
Xia Ruofei has already found all the gaps in the base.
Then he inserted the tip of the knife into the gap and gently pryed it, and soon a round piece of wood on the base was pried out, revealing a hole.
"There really is a mechanism!" Song Rui shouted, "Ruofei, take a look at what's inside!"
Zhao Yongjun also looked at Xia Ruofei with an incredible look - the wooden plug at the bottom of this wood carving fits the base tightly, and the gap is also filled with gypsum, and then polished and smoothed, it is difficult to find the flaw with the naked eye, not to mention that a layer of primer and at least three layers of paint are added to the back, even if it has been worn out over the years, it is impossible to see that there are gaps at the bottom.
Xia Ruofei directly found the mystery in such a short period of time, which was beyond Zhao Yongjun's imagination.
Xia Ruofei smiled, put two fingers into the hole, and quickly took out the contents inside.
When Song Rui saw it, he immediately showed a disappointed look and said, "It turned out to be this! I thought there would be some treasure!"
What Xia Ruofei took out was a gold ingot.
Ordinary people will definitely be overjoyed when they see such a large piece of gold, at least it is worth more than 100,000 yuan! However, Song Rui's expectations were very high before, and now he naturally feels a big gap.
After all, Zhao Yongjun is an old player in the antique circle, and when he saw this gold ingot, he also showed a trace of disappointment at first, but he soon moved slightly in his heart, his brain turned quickly, and then shouted: "No! After spending so much effort and hiding so secretly, it definitely won't be just to hide a gold ingot!"
Xia Ruofei, who already knew the answer, smiled and said nothing.
And Song Rui couldn't wait to ask, "Is there something in it?"
Zhao Yongjun glanced at Song Rui with disdain, and then said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, I think this gold ingot is just a counterweight!
"Counterweight?" Song Rui asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yongjun said: "Two pieces of wood carving are of the same material and size, if one of them hides something, the weight will change, and it is easy for people to find flaws, so I guess the person who hid the thing made the two wood carvings into the same structure, one of them hides something, and the other is stuffed into a gold ingot of the same weight! So, the real secret should be in the other wood carving!"
Xia Ruofei immediately applauded a few times and said, "Brother Zhao is really experienced, unlike some comrades who will be shocked......"
Song Rui rolled his eyes and said, "You two experts bullying a blood layman, are you powerful?"
"It's energetic, it's just a lot of fun!" Xia Ruofei laughed.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, open another wood carving and take a look!" Song Rui scolded with a smile.
Xia Ruofei actually knew that the real secret was in another wood carving, and he also guessed that the things inside should be made of jadeite, because the spirit picture scroll would have a very strong reaction when it was close, so this jadeite must be of very high quality.
He picked up another wood carving, and with great skill scraped off the paint at the bottom, and sure enough, he soon found a small gap.
Xia Ruofei skillfully pried open the wooden cork at the bottom.
"Ruofei, take a look at what's inside!" Zhao Yongjun said with anticipation in his eyes.
Even the counterweight uses a pure gold ingot, so what is really hidden here must be even more difficult.
Xia Ruofei nodded and put his hand in, at this time he could feel the strong vibration of the spiritual picture scroll in his palm, and soon he felt a smooth lump, he pinched it and took it out of the hole.
After revealing the true face of Lushan with this treasure hidden so secretly, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui invariably took a breath of cool air, and then slowly opened their mouths wide, their eyes full of shock.
Even Xia Ruofei himself couldn't help but show surprise.
What appears in front of everyone is a jade square card, about 6 cm in length, about 4 cm in width, and nearly two cm in thickness, with a gold base below, and a diamond inlaid with it.
This size of jadeite is not very large, but this jadeite has a touching beauty, and the vivid green ripples in front of the eyes of the three people like blue waves, which makes people intoxicated......
After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Yongjun shouted: "My God...... This...... This is a glass kind of imperial green......! Oh my God! Oh my God......"
Zhao Yongjun's shock at the moment was incomprehensible, and he used two days in a row, it seemed that apart from these two words, there was no language that could reflect the shock in his heart at the moment.
Xia Ruofei's knowledge of jadeite was only a scratch of the surface, but the violent vibration of the previous Lingtu picture scroll had already indicated that the jadeite in the wood carving was definitely not simple, so he had already made some mental preparations.
Song Rui grew up in a wealthy family, and he may not be good at appreciating antiques, but he still has the basic discernment of jadeite, and when he saw this imperial green square card, he couldn't help but murmur: "Ruofei, you guy...... This time, I really picked up a big leak and made a fortune...... Got rich......"
"Brother Zhao, tell me about it!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This jade jade plate is very valuable?"
Zhao Yongjun looked at Xia Ruofei with strange eyes, and said with emotion: "Ruofei, I don't know what to say...... You kid obviously doesn't know about antiques, but you can accurately point out the flaws in the gall wood incense cabinet; you just instinctively picked a pair of wood carvings, and there are big square cards hidden in the imperial green! Your luck is too against the sky!"
Xia Ruofei scratched his head with a smile and said, "My luck has always been good...... Tell me about this jade plaque!"
Zhao Yongjun said: "If this imperial green card is real, it will be worth a lot of money......! This imperial green square card, in exchange for the set of courtyard houses I told you at noon, there is no problem at all!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the jade jade card in his hand, and said, "Just such a small piece of jade, worth more than 100 million?"
After speaking, he couldn't help but check the imperial green square card in his hand, and the spirit picture scroll reacted so violently, he had a hunch that the jade here was of high quality, but he didn't expect it to be worth more than 100 million.
Xia Ruofei's actions almost scared Zhao Yongjun out of a heart attack, and he hurriedly said: "Ouch, hey! You can hold it firmly! If this imperial green square card falls to the ground and is broken, it will be one or two hundred million dollars!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Zhao, it's not that exaggerated...... Besides, you haven't taken a closer look, what if it's a fake?"
Zhao Yongjun shook his head and said: "If it's a fake, who would go to such a great deal of trouble to hide it in the wood carving? Isn't this sick? And this wood carving was from the late Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China, and the level of jade fraud in that period could not reach such a chaotic level, so even if you don't look at it, you can roughly confirm that this should be the real Imperial Green Dafang card!"
Then Zhao Yongjun smiled and said: "But it's the first time I've seen such a mellow glass imperial green, this kind of good opportunity can't be missed, I still have to take a good look!"
Xia Ruofei stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "Here, look at it!"
Zhao Yongjun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, let's go to the sofa! The sofa is soft, if my hand shakes off, it won't be broken......
In fact, there are rules in the antique shop, if you want to appreciate a certain object, you must not take it directly from someone else's hand, it must be put down by the previous person, and the other person will pick it up carefully - otherwise if you miss it and fall to the ground and be damaged, it is impossible to say whose responsibility it is.
However, Xia Ruofei is not a person in this industry, so he naturally doesn't understand this rule, so Zhao Yongjun didn't bother to remind Xia Ruofei.
The three of them came to the sofa, Zhao Yongjun took out a pair of gloves and put them on, and then carefully took the imperial green jade plate from Xia Ruofei's hand, and took out a small strong flashlight and a magnifying glass from his body, and observed it carefully.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile at Song Rui and said, "How can Brother Zhao be the same as Tinker Bell!
Zhao Yongjun said without raising his head: "I just eat this bowl of rice, these are standard tools!"
Song Rui said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is a big deal in the antique shop in the capital, today that Xu Qiang doesn't look at the store is so big, compared with Brother Zhao, it's just a small fight!"
Zhao Yongjun said with a smile: "The key is that I am interested in this......"
Zhao Yongjun spoke, but did not delay him to identify this imperial green big square card, he looked at it for a long time, and even took the big square card off the gold bottom support, and shone it with a flashlight for a long time, and finally reluctantly put it down.
Zhao Yongjun's two eyes were shining, and he said: "Ruofei, this is indeed a large square plate of glass imperial green, regardless of its cultural relics value, this piece of jade alone is the best in jade, and the value is immeasurable!"
Xia Ruofei was also very happy after hearing this, and said, "Brother Zhao, you tell us about it!"
"yes! At best, we'll just have to watch the fun. Song Rui also said, "What's so good about this jadeite!"
Zhao Yongjun immediately came to the spirit when he talked about jadeite, he pointed to this imperial green square card and said: "You see, this jade brand is full of generous and round state, from the jade itself, it can be said that the color, species, and water are good, and it is the top glass imperial green, with high density, delicate crystallization, and quite good transparency." ”
Zhao Yongjun paused, and said with some unfinished thoughts: "Generally speaking, too heavy jadeite will inevitably be biased and scattered, and lose that spiritual aura. But this generous card is an exception, and it is precisely the thick and mellow that wins. Its shape is simple, thick but not clumsy, deep and rich and luxurious, the color is bright and yang, mellow but not sluggish, and there is still a trace of charm in the atmosphere. ”
Zhao Yongjun was almost as if he had seen a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, and then he carefully took the imperial green square card that had not yet been put back into the gold bottom in his hand, and then turned on the bright flashlight.
He put the flashlight close to the big square card and said: "You see, such a thick jadeite, but the light transmittance is so good! The green inside is simply rich to the extreme, and it is not rigid at all, this is a kind of fresh and dense jade! It is definitely the best in jade!"
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and asked, "Brother Zhao, you have also carefully evaluated it just now, I want to know, if this imperial green card is sold, how much will it cost?"
