Seeing Zhao Lichen's face slightly stunned, Mr. Xie couldn't help laughing.
Doctor Zhao thought this piece of uncensored jade was real?In fact, this piece of jade was just made, but it was just a copy of the ancients' techniques and deliberately made it old.I have been deceived by Dr. Zhao, a smart person like me.
Mr. Xie is like an old naughty boy, just to make fun of him.
Zhao Lichen smiled awkwardly and couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.
The knife work of this piece of jade is very simple and clear, but the hollow part reveals the meticulousness and boldness of the craftsman.The sharpness of it is something that makes people admire. Only Mr. Xie can do such a knife skill in Binjiang City!
Zhao Lichen praised without realizing the traces, which made Mr. Xie nodded repeatedly.
The skill I used was a long-lost carving of a hair knife.This knife technique began in the Qin Dynasty and was developed in the Han Dynasty. Because this method is rough and pleasing to the eye, it will be passed down.However, modern young people rarely calm down and learn ancient carving methods.Gradually, it is difficult to see the carving of a hair knife.Several of my apprentices have sorted out a lot of information and just want to learn how to carve a hair knife with me.My health is getting worse and worse, especially my eyes are so blurry that this skill has been lost!
Mr. Xie shook his head helplessly.
Is there no successor to the Mao Knife Carving?Zhao Lichen always feels a little regretful.
As far as I know, there are not many descendants.Most of them live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and are disconnected from modern society.The ancestral craftsmanship has never been passed on to other surnames, which has caused the inheritance of Maodao to fall into a difficult situation.However, the style of this piece of uncensored jade is very, very similar to the uncensored jade we are looking for.
Mr. Xie handed the uncensored jade to Zhao Lichen again.
What background information do you know about this piece of uncensored jade?Zhao Lichen finally brought the topic back to the uncensored jade itself.
This piece of uncensored jade is extraordinary, and I have seen it at several auctions.Somehow, as long as the buyer who got this piece of uncensored jade would have troubles at home one after another. A British man bought this piece of uncensored jade at a high price, but the whole family died.From then on, this piece of uncensored jade became synonymous with bad luck.However, what we really care about is not the value of the uncensored jade itself, but the treasure behind it.
Mr. Xie finally confirmed the secret of the uncensored jade.
Do you think this legend is true?Zhao Lichen was a little wild.
Don't you believe it?Mr. Xie asked softly.
Mr. Xie, don’t blame the younger generation for being careless. I have also read many ancient books and records, and there is almost no explanation for this uncensored jade.In the history of the Qing Dynasty, only Emperor Qianlong liked jade tools the most.Since Emperor Kangxi took office, he has been busy with national affairs and has acted very frugal.This is even more true when Emperor Yongzheng was about to do so.Emperor Yongzheng was diligent in his work and loved the people, and he continued to write.His harem also pursues frugality. I don’t understand that the emperors of these two dynasties did not record an ordinary piece of uncensored jade. Why did the legend of treasure behind the uncensored jade suddenly come out?
Zhao Lichen dared to question Mr. Xie's speculation.
Indeed, modern people's carving craftsmanship is constantly improving.Many objects have very fast circulation speeds. The porcelain that was just released yesterday may have arrived abroad in a blink of an eye and may have been sold at a sky-high price.Some things are hyped and have no ornamental value.Just like this piece of uncensored jade, such dowry gifts from Emperor Kangxi to his beloved daughter, and the things from Emperor Kangxi to Concubine Nian... These rumors are just to add cultural value to this piece of uncensored jade.In my eyes, there is no difference between genuine products and fake products.
Mr. Xie's words surprised Zhao Lichen.
Then you ask the military for help... Zhao Lichen really can't understand what Mr. Xie said implicitly.
It's very simple, I need military protection.Mr. Xie told a shocking fact.
What?You don't want to find any uncensored jade?There is no treasure behind the uncensored jade?Qian Zhimei stood up suddenly and looked at Mr. Xie with disbelief.
Yes, there has never been any priceless jade.This is just the wind I released. My real intention is to ask you to help me investigate the inside story of the city museum selling cultural relics.
Mr. Xie had a hint of disappointment in his turbid eyes.
Oh my God!We were all cheated!Qian Zhimei was still too young. After hearing the news of the explosion, she paced back and forth in the yard.
Zhao Lichen whispered: Don’t be rude, sit down quickly!
Qian Zhimei lowered her voice and said: Our military is not an institution that can be funny when you are idle!If there is no treasure, why should we protect Mr. Xie?Protect his courtyard house?The matter of selling cultural relics is under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau.
Qian Zhimei turned her back faster than flirting with books. She just now promised that this case was under the jurisdiction of the military.But in the blink of an eye, she kicked the matter to the Public Security Bureau without hesitation.
Let’s discuss this matter with the leader when we go back. Let’s hear what Mr. Xie said first!Zhao Lichen had anger on his face, and Qian Zhimei was a little shocked, so he reluctantly sat back opposite Mr. Xie.
I know you young people are very busy and I shouldn't bother you.But in recent years, I have spent all the treasures I bought from exile and donated them to the Binjiang Museum.I heard that the management of museums is full of insights.Several peerless treasures were sold and re-circulated in the market.There are more and more criticisms about me, one is to protect my reputation, and the other is to get cultural relics home, so I found the military to help.
Mr. Xie shook his head helplessly.
Last month, the teacher's home was stolen.Several Yuchans from the Han Dynasty were stolen and priceless.It is precisely because of the city museum's approach that the teachers are afraid.If we donate things, we won’t lose the treasure.The collections of each museum are recorded. Teacher Xie hopes that you will investigate one by one to find out whether the museum has sold all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings donated by Mr. Xie, and used fakes as a good one!
Wei Mingming, who was standing aside, finally spoke.
Indeed, the antique industry is really a mixture of things.Antique novices like us cannot detect the practices of the city museum.Maybe, we need Mr. Xie’s help!
Zhao Lichen did not dare to take on such a big deal, so he asked Mr. Xie to come forward to help.
I donated things, and I don't know how to check the authenticity of the things I donated.I feel much more at ease with you by my side!Mr. Xie finally smiled satisfied.
When we go back, we will report this to the military leaders.If Mr. Xie has a need, the military will come forward to coordinate the matter.As for the unpolished jade... Zhao Lichen was obsessed with what Mr. Xie had in his hands.
If you like, I can make one for you!Mr. Xie said with a smile.
good!Thank you for your kindness!Since it's okay, let's say goodbye first!Zhao Lichen pulled Qian Zhimei away from Siheyuan.
Mr. Xie came to deliver it in person, but saw Qian Zhimei's face was angry.
Doctor Zhao thought this piece of uncensored jade was real?In fact, this piece of jade was just made, but it was just a copy of the ancients' techniques and deliberately made it old.I have been deceived by Dr. Zhao, a smart person like me.
