Chapter 0709 – Pavilion Collection (II)
In addition to the doorway of the huge painting, in the middle of the hall, there is a length of seven or eight meters, about two meters wide a glass display cabinet, which puts Zhuang Rui from the Jimei Museum in exchange for the Buddhist scriptures.
In addition in this cabinet, there is Zhuang Rui first Taobao pick up to the volume of Wang Shizhen handwritten “incense ancestor notes”.
This volume of manuscripts, although relative to those Buddhist scriptures, the market price is not so high, but as Zhuang Rui first pick up the leakage, and also carries Zhuang Rui for the snowflake afternoon memories, so it is still placed in the display cabinet in the most obvious place.
Sitting in a wheelchair to the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall in the middle of the exhibition cabinet, the master pointed to those paper yellowing sutra, said to Zhuang Rui: “small Zhuang, these sutras to be collected, when lost out of the things, can be recovered again, is not easy.”
These sutras just arrived in Beijing, is the master condescending to Zhuang Rui’s courtyard, personally do the appraisal, in each volume of the title page of the sutras, there is the master a small appreciation seal.
After hearing the master’s words, Zhuang Rui hastily nodded and said, “Sir, you can rest assured that these scrolls will not suffer any damage while they are here with me.”
“Well, Xiao Zhuang, I still have two paintings of Xu Wei and Qiu Ying there, when there is time, I will have someone send them to you.”
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment and quickly waved his hand, “Sir, that can’t be allowed, this is your collection!”
Xu Wei and Qiu Ying are both famous painters in the Ming Dynasty, especially Xu Wei, who started to learn painting after middle age, specializing in painting flowers and birds, and also capable of landscapes, figures, and ink and watercolor writing, painting like a man, with a long and unrestrained momentum, and many people have been copying his works in later generations.
According to the price on the market now, Xu Wei and Qiu Ying’s paintings, at least in the million or more, this is to be replaced by an entrepreneur to donate, Zhuang Rui surely a mouthful of promise, but for not rich masters, Zhuang Rui is not want to accept.
“Xiao Zhuang, uncle gave, you accept it! I’ll bring it over in a few days.”
The old man’s nephew interrupted Zhuang Rui’s words, without a trace of reluctance on his face, following the master for decades, seeing the master donate out objects, I’m afraid that there are no less than hundreds, the old man’s nephew has long been used to it.
“Thank you sir, thank you uncle Zhang.”
Zhuang Rui was touched by the sentiment of the uncle and nephew, he knows, the old man’s nephew has retired, now is just a month with a meager pension in the life, but on this millions of things to say donate to donate, can be seen in its character, to know, the master if the west, these things can be attributed to him.
“Wait, stop for a moment.”
At the time of walking to a Lang Shining’s oil painting “Qianlong Hunting Picture”, the old man again told Zhuang Rui to stop, in this picture, Emperor Qianlong is in his youth, spirited, beside him, there are many princes and ministers, one of them is similar to Qianlong’s appearance, and the old man’s eyes, it is precisely this person who is looking at the old man’s eyes.
Zhuang Rui knew that this person was none other than the old man’s ancestor, although the master never proclaimed that surname of his, but when he saw the portrait of his ancestor, he still couldn’t help but stop and look at it for a while longer.
“Let’s go! I don’t know what these people are fighting over.”
The old man smiled to himself, looking a little lost, but a little while later, after seeing Tang Pak Fu’s Li Duan Duan Drawing, he was again excited to argue with Zhuang Rui and a few disciples, about the topic of who was honored by the Ming painters.
After 20 minutes, the old man’s spirit was a little tired, refused Zhuang Rui’s invitation to dinner, and let Fatty Jin send him back to his residence, but the old man repeatedly said that he must come to visit Zhuang Rui’s museum when there were fewer people.
When sending the old man to the car, Zhuang Rui injected another aura into his body, like this kind of noble sentiments, willing to carry forward the younger generation of everyone, Zhuang Rui is sincerely hope that the old man will live a long life.
Zhuang Rui again back to the museum, in that fixed light sword display cabinet, is still crowded, but at this time the crowd dispersed a lot, some people have gone to the side of the various pavilions, here to stay, most of them are bronze experts and collectors.
Zhuang Rui smiled at some people greetings, wandering to Huangfu Yun’s sword pavilion, here also attracted a large number of collectors and experts, although the era of cold weapons has passed, but people for killing weapons, born with an unusual hobby.
Huangfu Yun’s sword pavilion, from the stone axe stone knife in the stone age, to the bronze sword and halberd in the Shang and Zhou period, to the Qin, Han, Sheng and Tang dynasties of all kinds of cold weapons, even if it is the jianghu rumors of those a battle-axe, hooks, forks, whips, mace, long spears, crutches, meteor hammers, and other objects, is also all there.
“This Qianlong Emperor Pei Jian, is my auction back from England, when ……”
“Mr. Huangfu, do you have any collections here that are of the same grade as the doorway stereo sword?”
“Ahem, that thing …… really do not have, the whole country is also afraid of that one.”
Just walked into the pavilion, Zhuang Rui saw a group of people clustered Huangfu Yun, is there to listen to his white talk, but obviously, Huangfu Yun students were struck by someone.
Zhuang Rui also did not go over to join in the fun, starting from the doorway, observing Huangfu Yun’s collection.
To be honest, from Huangfu Yun set up this pavilion, Zhuang Rui is also the first time to seriously watch, from the doorway of the stone axe, has been walking to the end of the pavilion of the Qing dynasty sword, in Zhuang Rui’s heart, there is a strange feeling, as if experiencing hundreds of battles of the medieval era in general.
“Hey, I say old brother, brother I’m busy like this, you’re good, you’ve wandered around by yourself.”
When he was about to walk out of the Sword and Blade Pavilion, Zhuang Rui was spotted by Huangfu Yun, the dude was handily introducing his collection to the guests, and after seeing Zhuang Rui, he hastily pulled him back.
“Hehehe, brother Huangfu, those who can do more should do more, don’t we all agree?” Zhuang Rui smiled and coaxed, and the acquaintances who had behind Huangfu Yun, also laughed.
“Don’t bother, Lord Curator or take some people to visit the ceramic pavilion! It’s been almost half an hour, hurry up and finish watching, then go to the hotel for dinner.”
These guests who came were curious about this museum of Zhuang Rui, but for Huangfu Yun, it was not attractive at all anymore, all the layout and decoration of this pavilion was almost single-handedly done by him.
“Okay, for those who are interested in ceramics and jade, follow me!”
This does not pay attention yet do not know, three or four hundred guests, at least more than two hundred people are listening to Huangfu Yun to explain the Sword and Sword Pavilion, Zhuang Rui a greeting, immediately shunted out a large part of the people, followed Zhuang Rui behind.
After taking the crowd out of the Sword Museum, directly across the street is the ceramic pavilion door, this is in addition to the bronze pavilion, the most tourists can attract the eyeballs of the place, because only survived eight pieces of that Yuan blue and white figure porcelain, displayed in this pavilion, but due to the location of the reason, there are not a few people in there now.
“Mr. Zhuang, this …… this won’t be carved out of jade, right?”
At the entrance of the Ceramics Pavilion, there were two extremely exquisitely crafted crystal display cabinets, one was about a meter and a half tall, but inside was placed an object as if it was a bonsai.
It was a bonsai tree, with a height of thirty centimeters or so, and on the turquoise trunk, it was divided into a number of branches, and on these pinky-thick branches, red and yellow flowers the size of fingernails were blooming.
Under the illumination of the special light, the entire small tree was like a fairy tree, with the mist rising, interpreting the words “Red Fei and Green Cui” to the fullest, emitting an eye-catching luster.
“Hehe, Sister Qi Zhu, don’t be so polite, it’s better to call me Xiao Zhuang, I can’t afford to have you call me teacher!”
The person who opened the mouth to ask Zhuang Rui is Qi Zhu, in the time of Changhua, Zhuang Rui still owes each other a favor it, at that moment smiled and waved his hand in succession, said: “That’s right, this is a jadeite tree, it is my participation in the beginning of the year when the Myanmar jadeite public market solved out of the international emerald design celebrities, Mr. Hu Rong personally designed the carving.”
“Oh my god! It’s really a jadeite tree, how much does it cost?”
“I haven’t heard that Mr. Zhuang has ever solved such a superb jadeite ah?”
“Hey, don’t you know that money doesn’t come out, who would yell all over the world if he solved something good?”
“Yes! Mr. Zhuang is already the king of jadeite in the Northland, and he doesn’t need this thing to hold up the facade.”
After hearing the words of Zhuang Rui, followed by the crowd, hula on the display cabinet to the surrounded, do not look at this jade tree is not an antique, but on its market value, I am afraid than the fixed light sword is not much lower.
“Zhuang Rui, I’m afraid this is soft jade carving, right?”
Qi Zhu has always been very fond of jade and has a good eye, after seeing the jade fruit plate that was returned by Master Ouyang, she could immediately see the quality of the jade.
The color variety of this jade fruit plate, to be more than that jade tree, almost every color, and after the ancient master’s wonderful hand carving, will each fruit are manifested lifelike, if not up close and careful inspection, it is difficult to find out that this is a fake.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said, “Yes, this is a Hetian jade carving object, it is an extremely rare multi-colored Hetian jade, and it was carved by old master Gu Tianfeng’s hand with a knife.”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, the people who were originally standing next to that jade fruit plate, only then did they realize that another priceless treasure had appeared in front of them.
The most ridiculous thing is, just now many people did not pay attention to this thing, also thought it was a museum furnishings, just they do not think, ordinary fruit plate, as for with such a cost of tens of thousands of dollars of display cabinets it?
Perhaps many people in the field have not heard of Hu Rong’s name, but whether or not to play with jade people, the name of the ancient Tianfeng is not strange, not to mention this precious jade, is the ordinary a little bit of material, after the ancient master’s hand, that is also doubled in value.
“Zhuang Rui, every object you take out here is so extraordinary!”
Qi Zhu was a little emotional, my dad’s house of collectibles added up, I’m afraid it’s not as big as one of Zhuang Rui’s objects here.
