The love of rebirth of a wealthy family Guan Fengyue

26.Moon cage yarn.

What attracted Hou Jia's attention was a jadeite carving called "Moon Cage Yarn". Charm.It stands to reason that if you want to highlight the leisurely leisurely play between the fish and lotus leaves, you will easily lose your aura, and bring out a bit of depression in the blade.But in this jade carving, the whole fish seems to be alive, as if it will jump out of the lotus leaves at any time.

But there were almost no bidders among those present.Because, the reason why this carving is called "moon cage yarn" is because it is not polished.The whole piece of jadeite material seems to be covered with a silver gauze, its seed water cannot be seen, only its color can be vaguely seen.

Oil green, blue water, clear water.There is only a thin line between these three kinds of jadeite materials, and it is really difficult to distinguish them without polishing.But their prices vary widely.Among them, Qingshui Jadeite is the best, followed by Blue Water.Because oil green is the most common, the price is relatively cheap among all jadeites.

This kind of unpolished jadeite is called wool, and the price of wool and finished jadeite is quite different.

In the beginning, Hou Jia was actually not optimistic about such a piece of jade.No matter what he did in his previous life, he had been immersed in the world of jade carving for many years, and he still knew many of the usual tricks.This kind of jadeite, which is deliberately not polished and would rather be sold as wool, is probably not favored for its kind of water.Therefore, the so-called selling woolen materials is, to put it bluntly, a kind of half-gambling stone.

However, when he stared carefully at the jadeite on the screen, he was stunned to find a faint green halo around the jadeite wool.Hou Jia just had a hazy premonition that this kind of green was very similar to the color of Qingshui.When gambling with stones before, the strange coolness between them reminded Hou Jia, and this halo that appeared out of thin air may also remind him of something.

The base price of this piece of moon gauze is not high, and the palm-sized flower piece is only 8000 yuan.And because no one bids, the price has not increased.After thinking for a moment, Hou Yan pressed the bidding button in front of him.

The people in each private room saw someone bidding, and the people in charge of the Hou family and the Li family were sitting in the bidding room. Although they didn't know who pressed the bidding button, they didn't want to argue with the two of them, so they also No one followed suit, and Hou Yan won the flower piece at an unsuspecting price.

Hou Qi watched him bid beside Hou Jia, and raised his eyebrows calmly.Picking up the coffee in hand, he took a sip, hiding the smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Jiu'er likes this?" Hou Qi put down the coffee cup, propped his chin with one hand, stretched out his white fingertips and gently poked the flower piece on the screen.

"The carving is very good." Hou Yan couldn't explain to his brother the light green halo he saw, not to mention that this matter is still unclear, and he still needs to do more verification.What's more, the carving of this flower piece is really excellent, even if Hou Jia asked himself, he might not be able to achieve this level.Therefore, Hou Yan could only use this as a reason to explain to Hou Qi why he took the picture of this flower piece.

Before waiting for a word of enlightenment, Li Siheng nodded at one side, turned over the computer screen on the other side with this flower piece of information written on it, pointed to the few words on it and said, "There are too few materials, there may be articles in it."

The price of every auction item in this auction house is not low. It is strange that something like this is less than ten thousand.And equipped with detailed information, including the origin of the original stone, the name of the person who interpreted the stone, the name of the sculptor, the time and date when the carving was completed, the quality of the material, whether there are cracks, etc., there should be a detailed introduction.

For this auction, the Hou family and the Li family were the main suppliers, and the heirs of the two families also followed up here day and night. Li Siheng didn't believe that any employee would dare to slack off because of the low price of the auction item.With such a strange result, it can only be said that someone did it on purpose.

Hou Qi glanced at Li Siheng, but did not speak.The box gradually fell silent.Qi Mo stroked his chin with his hand, stared at the screen quietly for a while, and suddenly let out a "poof".

Hou Qi gave him a hard gouged look, and then he said coolly, "I have something to say, and it's not just being puffy, baby, baby, it's okay, what are you talking about."

Qi Mo wanted to "poof" again, but he held back because of Hou Qi's words, causing his facial expression to be distorted into a strange shape.He raised his hand and rubbed his face.Qi Mo leaned on Hou Qi's shoulder unscrupulously, a man who was one meter tall, pretended to be a little bird, leaned on Hou Qi's shoulder with a shy face, and said to him, "Success, little lord!" If you think about it, there is nothing wrong with Qi Mo being your baby boy~"

Hou Qing pushed his head away from his shoulder with one finger, "Tell me, what were you laughing at?"

"Hey, young master is really ruthless..." Qi Mo still wanted to lean in, but when he met Shang Houqi's emotionless eyes, he could only sit back in his seat in embarrassment, pointing The flower piece on the screen said, "Although this piece of wool is half a gamble, but such a good Jieyang worker, would he carve a piece of brick material? Xiao Jiu'er will definitely make a solid profit this time."

It was probably because the main suppliers of this auction sat in the private room of Hou Yan, so the auction house did not go through the normal procedures, but just took the card machine, let Hou Yan swipe the card, and then paid the price with the last price. In a short time, the piece of moon cage gauze photographed by Hou Jia was sent over.

Just now when Qi Mo was playing cheap, Hou Jia had already gone out to swipe his card. As soon as Qi Mo finished speaking, the flower piece was delivered to him.The box in his hand was heavy, not as heavy as a palm-sized emerald could have.Hou Yan still hesitated a bit, the waiter at the side bent down and said to Hou Yan, "Sir, this is a small lockbox, and the password is on the card on the tray."

Hou Yan rummaged for a while, and sure enough, he found the card with the password written on it under the tray.

Really unusual.In the auction house, if the transaction price is too high, it is true that a lockbox will be attached.But this piece of flower, no matter how you look at it, is not "very valuable". If the people in the auction house intend to please Hou Jia, it would be too much.

When Hou Jia was surprised, the waiter looked at Hou Qi questioningly, seeing that Hou Qi just asked him to go out and didn't want him to explain, so he didn't stay any longer and bowed out of their private room.

Li Siheng and Qi Mo's expressions became serious.Their guess was really good, and the flower and fur goods that Hou Yan photographed were really not simple.

Hou Qi had an expected expression, took the card in Hou Jia's hand and glanced at it, touched the box with his fingertips a few times, and pressed hard again, the small box popped open.Hou Qi pushed the opened box in front of Hou Jia, and signaled to him, "The left and right things are already in hand, if you take a closer look, you will know."

Hou Yan carefully took the box that Hou Qi pushed over.Inside the box is a white interlining, and the jadeite flower piece is placed on top of it.Hou Yan carefully looked at the semi-finished carving, tracing every turning and extension of the blade with his fingers.The more you describe it, the more familiar it becomes.

Li Siheng frowned slightly behind Hou Yan.Ever since he saw this carving for the first time, he felt an inexplicable familiarity. Now that he looked at it carefully, he realized that this familiarity was clearly because he had seen the same carving technique before.Although because of the different sculptors, the carved products always have various differences.But the blade supporting the main body of a carving will not change.

The blade of this carving is clearly similar to the work that Hou Jia gave him before.

Hou Yan also noticed this, so he couldn't help picking up the jade carving and examining it carefully through the light.Sure enough, as he expected, under the lotus leaf of this jade carving, a few strokes were sketched lightly, connecting them into a character "zheng".Just as each of Hou Jia's works outlines an inconspicuous "鬏" character with lines, all those who belong to his master will outline their own names in their works.

Obviously, this work came from the hands of their teachers.However, Hou Yan's joyful expression had not bloomed on his face, it gradually froze.

According to the rules of the master's school, all the works of the deceased jade carvers must be lined with white cloth.The background of this flower piece is white, which means that this person has passed away.

What's more, when the old man was alive, he never told Hou Jia that there were other people in their school besides their master and apprentice.Now, he himself is completely unrecognizable, and he is even more powerless to pursue the past of his teacher.Hou Yan didn't know, even if he wanted to explore, what identity should he use to investigate?

He is Hou Yan, but he is no longer Master Xiao Hou.

Solemnly put this jade carving back into the password box, Hou Yan said softly, "Let's leave this flower piece as it is, and don't polish it." This sentence seemed to be said to the three people in the box, and As if, he was talking to himself.

Hou Qi rubbed Hou Jia's head, and said with a smile, "Our little Jiu'er really has a good eye. This flower piece is much more valuable than polishing it without polishing."

"Famous posthumous work?" Li Siheng was the first to react.Sure enough, the auction will not sell ordinary items.If it is the posthumous work of a famous artist, then this flower piece is not not polished, but cannot be polished.Once polished, it can only be priced according to ordinary flower pieces, but if it is not polished, its commemorative value far exceeds its commercial value.

Hou Qi nodded.He spit out a name lightly. "Shen Zhengrong."

"It's him?" Qi Mo took a few steps forward, "If I remember correctly, Shen Zhengrong is a master of mosaic? How do you put flowers on it?"

Hou Qi spread his hands and said, "It is said that he made it on his senior brother's [-]th birthday, but before he finished it, the old man had a heart attack and went away." Feeling regretful, he brushed over the flower box, and Hou Qi continued Said, "The descendants of Mr. Shen entrusted me to auction this. I deliberately did not allow too much information to be disclosed, just to find someone with real eyesight."

After listening, Hou Jia was taken aback.His master went there on the day of his [-]th birthday, and Mr. Shen also died of myocardial infarction shortly after his master left. His master was obviously excellent in craftsmanship, which is rare in the world, but he just hid in a small place for decades.His master clearly attached great importance to the inheritance of his master, but he didn't mention a word to his younger brother...

Hou Yan patted himself on the head hard, feeling that he had read too many *novels recently.

Ignoring Hou Jia's own entanglement, Hou Qi suddenly said, "By the way, Xiao Jiu'er, since you have photographed this thing, according to the previous agreement, the descendants of Mr. Shen want to meet you. Are you okay?"

Old Master Shen's descendants can be regarded as his senior brothers, out of love and reason, even Hou Jia should see him.Carefully putting away the box in his hand, Hou Yan nodded solemnly.

The author has something to say: Do you want to make a side story about Hou Jia's master and Mr. Shen when they were young?
