Chapter 0692 – Fish Dragon
“That …… that’s really two pieces of jade?”
“No wonder Mr. Zhuang just gave a hundred dollars and only took one piece, dare others have seen it long ago!”
“In the end is an expert, this eye is different.”
See Zhuang Rui will hands of jade in two moves, the crowd have discussed, this will be although there are still people have doubts, but most people think, Zhuang Rui must have picked up a leak.
“Buddy is not a little too out of the limelight?”
Zhuang Rui feel a little wrong, he just did not how to get on, if not with a pair of eyes, not to mention self, is the ancient master came, that can not see what is inside the dirt lump.
“All of you, all of you collectors and friends, can you listen to Mr. Zhuang say a few words first?”
This person is afraid of fame pig is afraid of strong, if Zhuang Rui ambition to help people identify objects, that fame is naturally the bigger the better, but Zhuang Rui is not eating that meal, this is if you go anywhere are recognized, and can not think of picking up leaks again.
After the sound of Zhuang Rui’s words, the crowd and the commotion for a while, slowly calmed down, for these are based on the hobby of wild collection of people, can hear the expert’s evaluation, they are also an opportunity to improve.
Now there are some in a collection category is very famous experts, often start some about the collection of knowledge lectures, not to mention, the organizer can always earn a pot full of money, see now people for this overall is relatively new line of knowledge needs.
“Dear friends, just listened to the story of the Li brother eye to pay tuition, Zhuang Mou is thinking of a problem, said peers are enemies, meet is the enemy, but I think, we play collection, want to improve, the most important thing is to communicate. This Li brother to the experience of their own fooled to everyone, but also to avoid other friends to repeat the same mistake, so I decided to buy a few stones, there is really no other meaning, these two pieces are just look at the eye, take the hand. Everyone will not really believe that I can see through these earth bumps, see whether it is jade or glass inside, right?”
Of course the objects in Zhuang Rui’s hands wouldn’t be glass, his intention in saying this was just to divert the attention of the crowd and not dwell on the things he bought.
“Mr. Zhuang is right, if anyone who suffers a loss stifles it in their heart and doesn’t say it out to communicate, then it’s not possible for someone to make the same mistake next time!”
For a while, the people who had been mocking Old Li consciously or unconsciously just now, had some heckling on their faces, while those tourists were talking about it.
To be honest, this play collection of people, not everyone is open-minded, see other people pick up leakage will be jealous, see other people will be happy to see eyeballing, Zhuang Rui’s words, indeed, let a lot of people reflect on it.
“Mr. Zhuang, your words are good, we should reflect on ah! However, Mr. Zhuang, I see that the object you picked, as if it is not glass, can you scrub it and give us all a look?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd, and the one who spoke was the jade-playing Old Qi.
“Yes! Show it to us!”
As soon as Old Qi said this, it immediately caused the crowd to chime in.
“Motherfucker, have to let buddies out of the limelight don’t you?”
Zhuang Rui’s heart was a little depressed, just now the words were all in vain, after all was said and done, it was still pulled to these two pieces of jade above.
For just spoke that called the old Qi’s mind, Zhuang Rui can also figure out one or two to, this old Qi, just want to make a fool of themselves!
And this old Qi, but in Zhengzhou antique circles, to identify jade famous, the difference between the two names can not be Li Xu.
If the old Qi’s encouragement, proved that Zhuang Rui today hit the eye, that will be able to cause a sensation in Zhengzhou antique circle, the old Qi is naturally rising, reputation.
What is this called? This is called stepping on the expert on the throne, although the reputation is not as big as Zhuang Rui, the old Qi is also playing the Yangtze River waves push the front waves, the front waves die on the beach of the mind.
“Okay! Borrowing this friend’s good advice, let’s take a look and see what kind of object these two pieces are.”
Zhuang Rui saw the crowd’s reaction, know that this day do not show off a little, is not out of this antique city, this is not forced to buddy flirty one?
This onlookers also have eyes through, early someone played a plate of water, took a small row of brush over to the counter in front of Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui also did not say much, directly into the two pieces of jade into the disk, rubbing the hands of the jade pieces, began to clean, in an instant, a plate of water became turbid up.
Zhuang Rui did not take out the jade piece, so the crowd of onlookers can not see what in the end is a thing.
“It’s jade, it’s really jade!”
“It should be jade, but it’s hard to say when.”
“Yes! An object carved out of new jade is just as worthless.”
“Right, if this can pick up a leak by casually touching two objects, then it’s too amazing, right?”
Zhuang Rui hands thumb and forefinger each pinch a piece of jade, from the water basin raised up, the crowd’s eyes have gathered to Zhuang Rui’s hands, the two pieces of white, slightly green jade, presented in front of the crowd.
The crowd could clearly see that these were two curved pieces of jade about five or six centimeters long and about two centimeters wide, which appeared to be very thick from afar, but exactly what the object was, one would have to know after getting their hands on it.
“Mr. Zhuang, can you show me.”
Old Qi in the crowd froze for a moment, he didn’t think that the two objects Zhuang Rui picked out casually were actually jade, but at this moment, Old Qi still thought that even if they were jade, I’m afraid that they were still some scraps of jade material.
“No problem, please take a look.”
Zhuang Rui glanced at Lao Qi, but did not hand over the jade in his hand, but gently placed on the glass cabinet in front of him, this action, and let the onlookers of some connoisseurs, the heart moved.
This antique on the hand, there are instructions, like jade porcelain such antiques, if the owner thinks that these things are more valuable, in letting others appreciate the time, are generally placed on the table, so that others take their own, and will not hand over, because if there is a lapse, it is difficult to identify the responsibility.
Zhuang Rui put the jade piece on the table action, that is to say, these two things in Zhuang Rui heart should be very valuable. If they were really three to five dollar floor goods, he would never be so cautious.
“This …… this thing?”
Old Qi saw Zhuang Rui so cautious, his face also became grave with it, carefully picked up a jade piece from the counter and carefully observed it, the crowd could clearly see a trace of astonishment from his face.
“Old Qi, is it an ancient jade?”
“It looks like two pieces of jade fish.”
“Not necessarily, it could be a jade dragon pendant.”
“Old Qi, quickly tell us!”
Zhuang Rui was holding one jade piece in his hand, the other was in Lao Qi’s hand, the crowd of onlookers were gradually getting a little impatient, shouting for Lao Qi to tell his insights.
“This thing I can’t say, the jade is real jade, and it should be a fairly good quality Hetian jade, but this thing is a new imitation or ancient jade, I dare not say, let’s let Mr. Zhuang give an answer!”
Although Lao Qi said on his lips that he couldn’t see it well, but his eyes had already betrayed his heart, because when he handed the jade piece back to Zhuang Rui, that kind of reluctant look, a blind man could see that this jade piece was not simple.
As everyone thought, although Lao Qi did not have any research on this kind of jade piece, but from the jade quality and the color of the jade piece at the edge, this is definitely an ancient jade.
And the slightly yellowish color and the slightly raw feel of the jade all indicated that this thing had not been unearthed for a long time, or at least had not been collected and played with.
“Mr. Qi is modest, this thing is very common in ancient jade and is called a jade dragon. From the styling, it is an object from the late Yin Dynasty, the jade quality is also very good, although it doesn’t reach the standard of lamb’s fat jade, it is still on the upper side of Hetian jade.”
Zhuang Rui’s words have not yet fallen, the field has already sent out a huge inhalation sound, the top-grade Hetian jade made in the Yin Dynasty ancient jade, the market price at least to be more than three hundred thousand, this is a shocking big leak ah!
“Mr. Zhuang …… Zhuang, you …… you didn’t see it wrong?”
The one who asked this was Old Li, who at the moment had mixed feelings in his heart! Zhuang Rui’s words were like a flavoring agent, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy all surged to the heart.
Zhuang Rui looked at the old Li, heart is also a little embarrassed, other people spent 20,000 yuan, inside the two valuable things, but also by their own to pick out.
“Lao Li brother, should not be wrong, these two pieces of jade dragon carving, although very concise, but the shape is extremely beautiful, fish and dragon, and some of our ancient legends or allusions are very closely linked.
“According to historical records, as early as in the primitive society Yangshao culture period, there is a jade dragon swap such a legend, but from the physical objects that have been unearthed, the jade dragon transformed objects, temporarily just appeared in the Tang Dynasty, that kind of fish is called the Capricorn fish. This kind of Capricorn fish body shape like fish, but the head long horns, we all know, the horn is always considered to be the characteristics of the dragon, so people also call Capricorn fish for fish dragon, carp jump dragon gate allusion, also from this. These two fish dragon jade, the period is far earlier than the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, in the Yin Shang period, there has been this kind of fish dragon conversion of the physical object, it can also be said that the emergence of this pair of fish dragon jade, can fill the blank of the Chinese jade culture for a period of time.”
When Zhuang Rui said this, everyone was in an uproar, the cultural relics that can fill the blanks of certain history, the cultural value it represents is already much higher than its own value.
