The strongest door-to-door son-in-law

Chapter 23 Blood Jade Dagger

Bi Wenbin shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had forgotten his identity. He was an expert in jade appraisal. His participation in the auction was a disguised proof of the value of this antique, so it actually added a lot of added value to the jade carving Pixiu.

"180 million fifty thousand!"

"190 million!"

"..."

Finally, this jade carving Pixiu from the late Eastern Han Dynasty was bought by a middle-aged man for 220 million yuan.

"Oh, people are stupid and have a lot of money, but they are really good at it. This jade carving of Pixiu is worth about 180 million at most, but now it has a premium of 40." Bi Wenbin sighed, this was all the rhythm he brought up.

"Old man Bi, you don't pay attention to your identity. You are messing around with something. It is purely to contribute to the organizer." He Qingyang said sarcastically when he saw Bi Wenbin's frustrated expression.

As the first auction item was sold, the auctioneer became even more excited. You must know that the total amount of this auction is related to his remuneration.

The higher the total auction amount, the higher his commission, which makes me a little excited just thinking about it.

"Let us once again congratulate the gentleman who just bought the jade carving Pixiu. The upcoming auction item is from the hand of a master. It is an absolute treasure. I would like to invite the beautiful hostess below!"

The auctioneer pointed at the hostess pushing the cart.

The etiquette lady still stood beside the auction table, then stretched out her white and tender little hands and slowly uncovered the red cloth covering the antiques.

On the big screen, a tiger-shaped jade sculpture appeared.

The tiger-shaped jade carving is crystal clear and about the size of an adult's palm. It looks as if it is carved from a piece of ice.

"This treasure is called the ice-carved jade tiger, and it is the famous work of the national treasure-level jade carving master Meng Xingdong. The jade used for the ice-carved jade tiger is water colorless jade. As we all know, Meng Xingdong's carving technique is extremely simple, and the shape of this jade tiger is majestic. The ice-carved jade tiger only took one hundred and eight cuts to carve it into shape."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, most of the people present exclaimed.Such a lifelike and powerful ice-carved jade tiger only required [-] swords, which is definitely second to none in China. This shows Meng Xingdong's profound swordsmanship.

The etiquette lady pushing the cart began to push the ice-carved jade tiger back and forth along the aisle in the guest area, so that the guests could see this jade carving treasure up close.

Ye Feng's eyes naturally fell on the ice-carved jade tiger. Different from the other people's observation direction, he mainly looked at whether there was spiritual energy inside.

The jade tiger does contain spiritual energy, which also proves Ye Feng's previous guess that there is indeed spiritual energy in jade and jade.

After walking around the guest area, the hostess once again pushed the ice jade tiger back to the auction table.

"After the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the changes of historical dynasties, tiger totem culture gradually evolved into a familiar and favorite cultural symbol that symbolizes warding off evil, might, and strength. It is widely used in various artistic and cultural categories, and is closely related to people's culture and life. Inseparable.”

"Only in terms of jades, the tomb beasts of the Wei and Jin Dynasties also have the imprint of tiger totem culture. The Arhat riding a tiger in the Tang Dynasty showed the spirituality and wisdom of the tiger. The spring water and autumn mountains of the Liao and Jin Dynasties depict the tiger's wildness and kingly demeanor. In the painting, there must be intention and intention. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when tiger culture entered the homes of ordinary people, it became a popular and enduring common artistic creation theme in jade pendants, pendants, and ornaments."

"Master Meng Xingdong carved this ice jade tiger based on these 'tiger culture'. If there is a Mr. or Ms. Tiger here, don't miss this treasure."

I have to say that this auctioneer is very eloquent.

In Ye Feng's opinion, even a worthless thing could become a priceless treasure through the auctioneer's mouth.

"This ice jade tiger carved by Master Meng Xingdong has a base price of 90, and each increase in price must not be less than [-]. Now I announce that the bidding has begun!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately raised a sign: "95!" "100 million!"

"110 million!"

"Ms. No. 78 bids 110 million. Is there anything higher?"

"120 million!"

The auctioneer quickly pointed in the direction of the bidding: "Mr. No. 79 bids 120 million, is there anything higher?"

"130 million!"

"140 million!"

"..."

Under the guidance of the auctioneer, the emotions of most people in the venue were aroused. Bidding calls came and went, and some even raised prices out of sheer competitiveness.

Finally, this ice jade tiger sculpture was bought by a middle-aged fat man for 280 million.

Bi Wenbin commented in a low voice: "If this ice-carved jade tiger is carved from colorless ice jade, the price will definitely exceed tens of millions. It's a pity that it is only made of water-type material."

"Old man Bi, what you said is a little inappropriate. Didn't the auctioneer just say that this is Meng Xingdong's famous work? In other words, before carving the ice jade tiger, Meng Xingdong was not famous. Who would dare to do that at that time? Give him a solid color ice material to carve?" He Qingyang said.

"That's true." Bi Wenbin rarely agreed with He Qingyang's statement.

The auction continues in full swing. After the ice-carved jade tiger, the next auction items are all exquisite ancient jades, ranging from the early Qin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.

However, most of the ancient jades came from ancient tombs, so the aura inside them had completely disappeared, so Ye Feng was a little less interested.

Ye Feng drank coffee and admired the beautiful etiquette lady. He just waited for the jade auction items to end and then offered dry goods for gambling.

When the time reached 11:30, the hostess introduced another auction item.

The moment the etiquette lady lifted the red cloth, Ye Feng's originally lazy eyes suddenly focused, and then he stared at the auction item on the trolley.

That kind of look is like a beggar seeing a million.

"This auction item is very old. According to the research of relevant experts, it should be from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. A dagger made of blood jade is really rare among jade antiques, especially a dagger that is so well preserved."

"Everyone, please look at the big screen." The auctioneer said, and saw that the dagger on the big screen was magnified about three times. "This blood jade dagger is about five inches long. The whole body is made of red jade that looks like blood. The blade is extremely It's sharp, and there are some characters-like symbols engraved on the blade. No one can figure out what these symbols mean."

"Here, I want to tell you the legend about this blood jade dagger. Everyone knows the story of Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin. According to the legend, Jing Ke used this blood jade dagger to stab Qin." The auctioneer threw out another heavy pound bomb.

"Old He, do you think the legend told by the auctioneer is true?" Bi Wenbin asked He Qingyang.

He Qingyang replied: "I don't know if it's true. Blood jade is unlucky. Anyway, I'm not very interested in it."
