    Bai Duchun handed the auction brochure to Chen Yang to read, pointed to a picture on the brochure, and said: "For it."

    Looking in the direction he was pointing, he could see a picture in the auction brochure that was no bigger than a cigarette box. The picture had exquisite pixels and was probably made by a professional photographer. Both the angle and the lighting were impeccable.  It also displays the content in the picture vividly.

    Those are a pair of ancient jade and golden cicadas, although the workmanship is not as good as the craftsmanship of today's craftsmen.  However, the texture of the cicada wings on the back of the golden cicada is quite lifelike, and it is a pair of golden cicadas. The whole body is jasper, and the texture of the jade skin is clear, just like two pieces of stagnant blue waves.

    People often say that jade nourishes people. Although this piece of jade only appeared in the picture, when Chen Yang looked at it, he also felt that this piece of jade was very eye-catching.

    "It's indeed a good thing." Chen Yang touched his chin and smacked his mouth.

    Although the overall carving of this piece of jade is average, it is a serious Hetian jasper with a full texture and high-quality jade material. It is simple and elegant. It is a pair of things, and the complete set is on display, which is enough to show its preciousness.

    While Chen Yang was watching, Peng Kang's voice suddenly came from the side: "This thing has something to say."

    This was the first time Chen Yang heard Peng Kang's serious speech. This consultant hired by the Bai family usually had his eyes high above his head, but it seemed that after seeing the pair of jade cicadas, he couldn't help but feel emotional.  It seems that he is also fascinated by the delicacy and roundness of this jade.

    "Master Peng, what do you say? Tell me what you think." Bai Duchun said in a asking tone.

    Peng Kang was arranged by his father to be with him, but he did not come to Vancouver with him. Instead, he came here in Xi'an alone. On the one hand, he wanted to understand the situation, and on the other hand, it was said that he was visiting some old friends.

    I heard Bai Duchun introduce the background of Peng Kang. He only said that he was a national treasure connoisseur. Many famous people had good relations with him and had close contacts with him, but it was strange that he rarely spent a lot of money on collections.  She was playing, and she didn't wear any flashy clothes. She held a folding fan in her hand, and the words on it were written by Peng Kang herself.

    Strictly speaking, Peng Kang is not a collector. He is like a master in the literary and entertainment industry.  However, Peng Kang's status in the industry is quite high, so the products of Zhangyan are naturally incomparable with those ordinary Zhangyan who hangs out in Liulichang and antique markets.

    "This thing has its origins and its explanation. Privately we talk about calling it Yu Chan. Look at the name on the auction book. It says Double Jade Chan. Ha ha, how do foreign devils know the magnificence of Chinese civilization?" Peng Kang shook his head.  , smacking his lips, he seemed quite dissatisfied that the pair of jade cicadas had such a name.

    "Master Peng, how do you say this?" Bai Duchun felt anxious. This Peng Kang was so good at telling people, couldn't he just say his name?

    Peng Kang subconsciously touched the bones of the folding fan in his hand and said: "These two pieces of jade should be called Tang Dynasty openwork double cicadas and pendant jasper. Look at the eyes of the golden cicadas. Look carefully, are there any  special place."

    As soon as he said this, Chen Yang couldn't help but look at the eyes of the jasper golden cicada. As expected, the eyes of the jasper golden cicada were not relief carvings, but openwork carvings. Craftsmen with ancient techniques, far away  There is no cash available for today's carving technology and equipment, so most of the carvers are relief carvings. However, this openwork carving technology is definitely not something ordinary craftsmen can do, and it is a small-scale openwork carving, which tests the eyes and skills.

    "Just two openwork carvings. On the one hand, it has the effect of a pendant, and on the other hand, it demonstrates the craftsmanship of the craftsman. There are very few among the people. Only the royal family has craftsmen with such craftsmanship." Peng Kang put down the folding fan and said leisurely  He said calmly.

    "Sir, you are really amazing. You can tell the clues just by looking at it." Bai Duchun gave a thumbs up. It was definitely not a flattery, but the praise came from his own admiration.

    Because, among the people present at the auction, few people except myself knew the true background of this pair of jade cicadas.

    "Royal craftsmanship, what is the origin of this jade carving that makes you say such an exaggeration?" Chen Yang narrowed his eyes. He was a real layman when it came to auctions, antiques, and even jade carvings. As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you should  Ask, there is a big expert sitting in front of him, Chen Yang naturally wants to ask questions.

    Peng Kang held a folding fan, pointed at the jade carving and said, "Get up early. This pair of jade cicadas were excavated in Xingping City, Shaanxi Province. Do you know any historical events in that area?"

    Hearing this, Chen Yang and Bai Duchun looked at each other.

     Xiaobai has been studying abroad since high school, and his knowledge of Chinese history is limited to some very superficial basic knowledge. Chen Yang is slightly better. He still knows some historical allusions and historical events.

    "But considering this kind of reverse thinking of historical knowledge, Chen Yang has no idea. Chen Yang even doesn't remember the year of some major historical events.

    Peng Kang shook his head: "At such a young age, I don't know the history of Dahua. It's really sad."

    Chen Yang scratched his head. From the beginning, he felt that Peng Kang, the old man, liked to show off, was arrogant, and had his eyes above his head.  Until now, I had a vague feeling that this old man really had a problem. No wonder Bai Duchun was respectful and obedient to him at the auction.  He is a real master of appreciation and has countless eyes. It is considered a great honor for the Bai family to invite him.

    It is said that this Peng Kang's latest move was to help a certain technology industry boss to obtain a posthumous work by Zhang Daqian abroad, which is enough to show his status in the appreciation world.

    "In the suburbs of Xingping City, Shaanxi Province, more than 30 kilometers away from Xianyang Airport, there is a wasteland. To say that Shaanxi is really a treasure land. The civilization of the Han and Tang Dynasties was developed. In the early years, well in the 1960s and 1970s and before liberation, that area  You can dig out treasures with a shovel under the soil, so tomb robbing is very popular.¡±

    Listening to this tone, Chen Yang felt more and more doubtful that this old man had been in the tomb robbing business back then. He said this smoothly.

    "We push the time forward. When the boundary of Xingping County was in the Tang Dynasty, there was a place name that is still famous today - Maweiyi."

    Hearing this, Chen Yang looked shocked: "Maweiyi mutiny! Could this thing be related to Yang"

    Before Chen Yang could finish speaking, Peng Kang nodded and turned to look at Bai Duchun.

    The look of surprise on the latter's face was even stronger. At first, his old man said that this piece of ancient jade came from a famous person in the Tang Dynasty, but what he never thought was that it was actually related to Maweiyi.

    "However, don't be too happy. Whether this thing has something to do with Concubine Yang, or whether it has something to do with the Maweiyi mutiny, it's still two questions! In other words, it remains to be verified whether this thing is really an item belonging to Concubine Yang.  ." Peng Kang shook his head and sighed: "It has been more than a thousand years, the vastness is vast, and there are no fragments or half-word descriptions in history. Many things are passed by in a muddle."

    "When was this thing unearthed?" Chen Yang asked.

    "You really got the point when you asked. This thing was unearthed in Weinan, Shaanxi in 1938. The person who was excavated was a Shaanxi man named Ma Siyou. In that year, Xuzhou and Hefei fell one after another, and Chang Kai  Shen opened the entrance to the garden to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, but the west of the Yellow River was by no means so peaceful."

    After finishing speaking, Peng Kang glanced at Masaki Yamagata not far away and said: "In that year, Masaki Yamagata's grandfather, Hidetoshi Yamagata, was nominally the president of Tokyo Chemical E-commerce Co., Ltd., but in fact  As the head of the cabinet secret service, he has already penetrated into Xianyang, Luoyang, Xi'an, Taiyuan and other places ahead of the army."

    As Peng Kang spoke, maybe it was due to the hatred of the country and the family, or maybe it was due to his profession, his mood became less indifferent, and his tone was full of anger as he said: "Wandering around in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places  After wandering around for two years, the president of Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. brought back nearly 20 treasures from China, ranging from porcelain, to letters, to jades. Any one of them would be considered a masterpiece if placed in a local museum.  Treasure!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
