Chapter 6: Picking up the Leaked Bamboo Carving Pen Holder (Part 2)

Zhang Yan turned her head and glanced at the pen holder he pointed at, and said coldly: "I'm new this morning."

Pei Miao said: "Take it out, I want to take it and take a look."

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yan said angrily, "This is something from the Ming Dynasty. Can you afford it? Do you still need to buy it?"

Pei Miao frowned and glared at him, saying, "I said I want to get started and take it out!"

Seeing that Pei Miao seemed to be angry, Zhang Yan couldn't argue with Pei Miao. After all, Pei Miao is now a customer, and if he quarreled, he would be very bad for the store's reputation.

She could only reluctantly open the glass counter, take out the bamboo pen holder, and put it on the counter.

Pei Miao held the bamboo pen holder with his right hand and activated the ability of his right hand. The three-dimensional picture of the bamboo pen holder immediately appeared in his mind, and every detail was extremely clear.

This bamboo carved pen holder carved the seven sages of the bamboo forest. It is indeed a good idea to carve the seven sages of the bamboo forest on the bamboo. Moreover, this is not an ornament, but a study product. In addition, bamboo has been loved by literati since ancient times, so the carved content looks particularly consistent with the pen holder.

Looking at the carvings again, it seems to be the Su-style carvings from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but they look a little different from the Su-style, which is a bit confusing. Pei Miao thinks that his level is not enough, so he cannot see the carvings. Even so, he can still see the level of carving skills. The carving skills of this pen holder are extremely excellent, exquisite and delicate, and the characters are carved lifelike, with different expressions and vivid eyebrows and eyes. Not only that, even the details of the bamboo forest are carved very well, and the stems in the middle of the bamboo leaves can be seen on the bamboo leaves.

Such exquisite carving proves that this bamboo pen holder is definitely not from an unknown person. Unfortunately, there is no model left on the pen holder, so I don’t know which engraver it was written by any sculptor.

Pei Miao felt something was wrong, so he pulled the picture in his mind closer and entered the inside of the bamboo sculpture. He was stunned and saw something familiar - cotton wool.

"Is it the universe hidden in it again?" Pei Miao was excited. He noticed that this was a dark layer. There was a fake bottom on the inside of the bamboo tube. The difference between the fake bottom and the real bottom was about two centimeters away, which formed a dark layer.

The most important thing is that inside the true bottom of the pen holder, three characters are engraved - Zhu Songlin.

Seeing the three words Zhu Songlin, Pei Miao suddenly realized and finally knew why he could not see the faction of bamboo carving craftsmanship.

Zhu Songlin's surname is Zhu, his name is He, his name is Ziming, and his pseudonym Songlin. He was a famous bamboo carving master during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and was also the pioneer of the Jiading (Demon City) school bamboo carving technology. The concept of Jiading School bamboo carving is to carve bamboo by painting, greatly improving the level and charm of bamboo carving. From then on, traditional bamboo carving began to enter the palace of literati art. It can be said that the emergence of the Jiading School had a very profound impact on bamboo carving art.

But this bamboo carving pen holder of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest is not a Jiading School bamboo carving, but it is a bit like a Su school bamboo carving, but it is not all, which also shows that this is a work by Zhu He before his own school.

Zhu He was born in Jiading (the Magic City) and studied art in Suzhou. Therefore, his early works were all Su school carving styles. Later, he studied them slowly and formed his own school. This pen holder was a work by Master Zhu during the transformation from Su school to Jiading school. Therefore, it looks like Su school, but not like Su school, which is unpredictable.

If you are not sure who the sculptor is, you can sell for almost 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, but if you are sure that it is a work by Master Zhu Songlin, the value can be at least ten times higher.

Pei Miao now guessed that Boss Shen probably did not see who the author of this pen holder was, otherwise it would not have been placed in the glass counter, but should have been placed on the antique shelf.

Just as Pei Miao was about to draw the picture in his mind closer to see what was wrapped in the cotton wool.

A cold drink came: "What are you doing!"

Pei Miao came back to his senses and turned to look at him. He saw that Shen Ming had already walked into the store and walked towards him angrily.

Shen Ming walked up to Pei Miao, pointed at the store door, stared at him and said angrily: "You go out, I won't welcome you here!"

Pei Miao raised his eyebrows and said, "I am a customer now. It is not something a shop owner should do when you drive the customer away like this. It is not a good reputation for your store. Believe it or not, I will go out and shout for everyone to watch the fun?"

"Hmph! What kind of guest are you?" Shen Ming snorted angrily, but his attitude was obviously not as tough as before.

"Why am I not a guest?" Pei Miao shook the pen holder in his hand and said, "How much does this bamboo forest seven sage bamboo carving pen holder cost? I bought it."

Shen Ming glanced at the pen holder and raised his eyebrows and said, "If someone else wants to buy it, you have to buy it for 180,000 yuan, and you have to buy it for 250,000 yuan, not a cent less."

Pei Miao smiled indifferently when he heard this and said, "It's only twenty-five, Zhang Yan, please open the order, I bought it."

Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this. In her opinion, Pei Miao was just a poor man. How could he afford something worth 250,000? He felt that Pei Miao must be tricking him, so he turned to look at Shen Ming and sought Shen Ming's opinion.

Shen Ming said coldly: "Open the order for him!"

Shen Ming seemed to have no expression on his face, but in fact he was ecstatic. Although this bamboo tube was exquisitely carved and looked like a master's work, it did not leave any motifs. Moreover, he couldn't even understand the carving faction. It is very likely that it was a work of a sculptor imitating a master in the Ming Dynasty. The market price was only between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan. Now it was sold to Pei Miao for 250,000 yuan. It was a small revenge for Pei Miao to cheat Pei Miao.

Zhang Yan quickly issued an order for Pei Miao. After Pei Miao swiped the card to pay, he took the pen holder and the issued documents and said to Shen Ming: "How is it, am I a guest?"

"Haha." Shen Ming sneered and sarcastic, "I saw the face of the nouveau riche today. Yesterday you were lucky and got a fortune, and started to squander today. The market price of this plug is at most 150,000. You have to spend 250,000 yuan to buy it. You are stupid and have a lot of money. You are talking about this. Do you really think you were able to pick up big holes yesterday? You rely entirely on luck, 250,000 yuan... I think you are like 250,000 yuan."

"I think you are only 25 years old." Pei Miao smiled, picked up a pen on the counter and put it in the pen holder. The tip of the pen was one centimeter above the edge of the pen holder. He took out the pen again and leaned against the pen holder. The end of the pen was aligned with the bottom of the pen holder, but the tip of the pen was 15 centimeters shorter than the pen holder.

When Shen Ming saw this scene, his eyelids twitched for no reason and he felt a very bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Pei Miaoyouyou said: "The bottom of the pen holder made of bamboo should not be that thick. There seems to be something wrong with the bottom of this pen holder, so there will be no good things hidden."

After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Ming and said, "Boss Shen, what do you think?"

Although Shen Ming had the same idea as Pei Miao, how could he be embarrassed in front of Pei Miao and said stubbornly: "What can you have any problem? Do you think you can encounter good things like yesterday every day? You always think about good things that pie falls from the sky!"

Pei Miao grinned and picked up the pen and put it in the pen holder. However, the action was a little heavy. The pen hit the bottom of the pen holder, making a crisp sound, and it also flashed. Then, he picked up the pen and put it into the pen holder again, and the pen flicked it again.

Pei Miao took out the pen repeatedly, put it in heavily, and tapped the bottom of the pen holder with the end of the pen holder. Ten minutes later, Pei Miao looked inward at the mouth of the pen holder and couldn't help but grin: "It's really a fake bottom."

Shen Ming felt a sudden heart when he heard this.

Pei Miao deliberately angered Shen Ming, pointed the mouth of the pen holder at Shen Ming, and said, "Look."

Shen Ming looked closely and saw a circle of neat cracks around the inner bottom of the pen holder. He suddenly felt at the bottom of the valley. He couldn't believe that the inner bottom of the pen holder was actually fake, with a dark layer inside, but he didn't notice it.

But if he thinks about it carefully, he will know who will care about the difference between the inner depth and the outer depth (the length of the pen holder), and it is only a little more than two centimeters. If you don’t use a ruler to measure and compare it, you will not be able to find it at all. It’s like a stainless steel thermos placed in front of you. Do you know how far there is between the inner sole and the outer sole?

Even if antique experts see this bamboo pen holder, it is difficult to find this dark layer, because the more proficient people are, the more they pay attention to the carving patterns on the pen holder, and then praise their exquisite carving techniques, study which school of carving skills is from which master, and will never be bored to measure the depth of the inner and outer length.

Pei Miao put his hand into the pen holder, gently pressed it against the inner bottom with his fingers to completely separate it from the cylinder wall, and then covered the mouth with his hand, with the mouth facing down, and a piece of round bamboo joints and a lump of cotton fell on Pei Miao's palm.

Seeing the cotton wool, Shen Ming's eyebrows were pounding wildly, so familiar. Yesterday, he saw Pei Miao peeling out a piece of Tianhuangshi worth millions from almost the same cotton wool. What is in the cotton wool today?

Shen Ming was too excited, his blood pressure rose, feeling dizzy and a slight pain in his heart. He quickly reached into his arms, took out the bottle of the Heart-saving Pill, and held it tightly in his hand.

Prepare in advance so that you don't have time.

Seeing Shen Ming take out the heart-saving pill, Pei Miao couldn't help laughing, but he held it back. He gently peeled off the cotton wool, and an orchid-patterned blue and white porcelain snuff bottle was exposed in front of him.

"Snuff bottle?" Shen Ming was stunned when he saw the snuff bottle. He had guessed all kinds of things, but he never thought about the snuff bottle. Although the snuff bottle is a common thing in the antique market, most of them are not valuable. One is because the shape is small, and the other is because there are too few fine products. Moreover, this is still a blue and white porcelain snuff bottle.

He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he found something was wrong. The blue and white color of the snuff bottle was very eye-catching, bright and shiny, and the glaze color was as white as snow, bright and charming, and the craftsmanship seemed very good.

Pei Miao looked through the snuff bottle and couldn't help but smile: "It's actually a fine snuff bottle from Qianlong's official kiln. This is a rare thing."

As he said that, he specially printed the bottom of the snuff bottle for Shen Ming to see, and indeed saw a row of vertical styles at the bottom - made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

When Shen Ming saw these six words, he immediately felt a pain in his heart. He quickly opened the lid of the heart-saving pill bottle, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

The blue and white porcelain craftsmanship during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty reached the peak of the blue and white porcelain craftsmanship in the Qing Dynasty, and the official kilns are of course mentioned here.

Therefore, most of the blue and white porcelains in the Qianlong period are valuable, and this snuff bottle is delicate and thin in body. In the sun, you can actually see the orchid patterns on the wall of the pot on the other side. The blue and white color is also extremely bright, and the glaze color is bright and clean. The craftsmanship level has definitely reached the limit. It is simply a fine product among the fine products. If you have to say that this snuff bottle has any disadvantages, it is that the shape is too small.

In order to anger Shen Ming, Pei Miao deliberately asked Shen Ming: "Boss Shen, this snuff bottle is obviously something that opens the door. The fine official kilns from the Qianlong period should be sold for 600,000 yuan in the market price."

After taking the Heart-Saving Pill, Shen Ming sighed a few times, tried to calm down, and angrily said, "It's only six hundred thousand, it's up to you to be proud of you."

"Boss Shen's family has a great career and his words are indeed generous!" Pei Miao smiled, and seemed to take a look at the pen holder unintentionally, and then said in surprise, "Hey, there are words at the bottom of this pen holder. I don't know this word very well. Boss Shen, please help me see what word is?"

He said as he pointed the pen holder at Shen Ming. Shen Ming knew that he had bad intentions and didn't want to see it, but his strong curiosity drove him to see it, so he looked.

When he saw the three words Zhu Songlin, he suddenly pointed at Pei Miao: "You..."

Then he stopped talking and quickly poured the bottle of the Heart-Saving Pill to his mouth...

When Pei Miao left the ancient porcelain workshop, Boss Shen seemed to be in a bad state, his eyes were dull, he sat on the chair without moving, and he didn't speak. Zhang Yan was afraid that he would have any problems, so he called the emergency center.

Pei Miao was too lazy to worry about him, he took all this. Even though Shen Ming was kind to him two years ago, Shen Ming was just trying to find a cheap clerk at the beginning. He worked hard for him in the past two years, and his salary was often deducted, which was considered a kindness, so he had no burden in his heart.

After Pei Miao left the ancient porcelain workshop, he visited the antique market for half an hour. Xueyang called and said she was about to arrive. Pei Miao immediately ran all the way to the parking lot outside the park.
