Chapter 262          Real and false ivory carvings (I)

The next day, Equn received a call from Mr. Wen early in the morning, saying that Lin Bozheng had already made the jewelry he wanted and asked him to take it over! Just before the New Year, Equn could give things to his family during the New Year!

When Fang Cheng heard that Mr. Wen asked him to go over to get jewelry, he thought of what happened between Wenzhai and Wen Jing that day. He asked Mr. Wen weakly.

"Old Wen, that...I want to ask, is Wenjing here?"

That girl Wenjing is so devilish that she can’t do anything about her, but she can’t afford to mess with her, so she can’t afford to hide.

"Hahaha......"

Mr. Wen's laughter came from the phone.

"Equation, are you afraid of that girl Wenjing? Equation, I think you promise, that girl is a little crazy, but she is both kind and decent!"

Mr. Wen also took the opportunity to promote his granddaughter, which made Fang Cheng even more embarrassed.

"That... Mr. Wen, Wen is very quiet, beautiful, and has a good family background. I can't deserve her at all! The most important thing is... I have a girlfriend, and I love her very much!"

The return journey clearly stated his attitude.

"Well......"

Mr. Wen obviously didn't expect Fang Cheng to reject him so directly, but then he felt relieved. It would be better to tell him frankly that he had a girlfriend than to have a girlfriend and then have an ambiguous relationship with his granddaughter without hiding the fact that he had a girlfriend! Mr. Wen understood that everyone wanted good resources, and he was no exception. However, whoever fell in the end still had to wait and see the final result!

"Okay, I won't worry about your young people anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How you do the most depends on fate!"

Mr. Wen sighed slightly,

"Wenjing and her friends went shopping. If you are not at home, come here with confidence!"

"Oh, then okay, then I'll go there right away!"

After hearing Mr. Wen's words, Fang Cheng felt relieved, cleaned up and drove out!

After getting the jewelry at Wen’s hometown, Fang Cheng went directly to Fang Zhengtang! In tomorrow’s Doukou Competition, he always had a few things to control. As for the authenticity... he just watched it casually. There were playboys on both sides and disciples from aristocratic families. He didn’t think about what to do. He just won a few things and put them back to Fang Zhengtang!

“Welcome to…”

As soon as I entered the door of Fangzhengtang, I heard a buzzing sound from Dahan. I saw him lowering his head and writing something. After writing, I looked up and realized that his boss was here.

"Brother Fang! Are you back?"

He walked over with a smile,

"Yeah, I'm back! Where is the shopkeeper Xiao?"

Fang Cheng glanced at the front hall and found no sign of Manager Xiao.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Xiao went to the next door to help. A sharp product came next door. It is said that it is very valuable, but the Shopkeeper was a little confused. This is not... I've been asking our Shopkeeper Xiao for advice! I've been there for a long time and haven't come back yet! I don't know if it's true!"

Dahan's arrival is coming in a singular way,

"Oh? What's the matter? Even Manager Xiao has to watch it for so long?"

I've got some interest in the equation.

"Uncle Fang!"

The little man heard the sound of Equation and ran out of the inner hall, and suddenly threw himself into Equation's arms.

"Little man!"

Fang Cheng picked her up and weighed her gently.

"It seems like I've gained a little weight. It seems that I've had a good meal recently!"

"I have always had a good meal, but the doctor doesn't let me eat too much! Uncle Fang, I won the third place in the class in the final exam. Do you have any rewards?"

The little man said to Equn with a tender voice, causing Equn to scrape her little nose.

“Yes, must be!”

"Little man, don't be rude!"

Tian Meiwen walked out of the inner hall while wiping her hands on her apron.

"Brother Xiao Fang, you are back!"

She greeted Equation,

"Well, Sister Tian!"

"Little man, come here, how can I ask Uncle Fang for something?"

Tian Meiwen educated the young man in a stern tone. Before Fang Cheng could speak, Da Han spoke on the side.

"It's still a child. If you have good exam results, you want Brother Fang to praise her! Brother Fang doesn't care, so don't talk about the child!"

Dahan picked up the little man and said to Tian Meiwen in a gentle voice. Fang Cheng looked at the feeling between the two people and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, let's talk to you two. I'll take Xiaonan out for a walk and buy her a big gift! Let's go, Xiaonan, go out with Uncle Fang!"

Fang Cheng said as he took the young man from Dahan's hand and walked out of Fangzhengtang's door!

Fang Cheng hugged Xiao Nan and went to the antique shop next door that Dahan mentioned. As soon as he entered the door, he saw four or five people surrounded the store. In the middle was the shopkeeper Xiao from his store. He was holding a magnifying glass and wearing reading glasses. He looked carefully at the object in front of him that seemed to be a stone sculpture. Even Fang Cheng walked in and he didn't notice it!

After Fang Cheng held the young man and stood aside for more than ten minutes, Manager Xiao raised his head and held his waist with one hand, which was sore due to standing for too long. He put down the magnifying glass in his hand with the other hand and gently rubbed his eyes.

"Old Chen, I think this should be a top-notch product, but... this is a million items. You can only use my opinion as a reference. You can do it yourself whether you want to buy it or not!"

Manager Xiao said something slick enough, and he was afraid that if he had a blow, Manager Chen would blame himself.

"Grandpa Xiao..."

Seeing that the shopkeeper Xiao finished his work, the sensible little man shouted,

"Little man? Hey, Equation, why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Xiao saw clearly that the Equation was holding the little man.

"Shopkeeper Xiao!"

Fang Cheng smiled at Manager Xiao, and then his eyes were on the stone sculpture that Manager Xiao had just passed by!

Only then did Equation realize that this was not an ordinary stone carving, but a ivory carving, a picture of the Five Blessings Carved by an ivory! This "Five Blessings Carving" is about 80 cm tall, and the whole body is made of ivory material, and the whole body is made of several ivory bone pieces. Its shape is very exquisite, consisting of a disc and a base!

The base of this "Five Blessings Come to the Gate" is a hollow carved pavilion with two dragons playing with a pearl on it, which means "two dragons play with the pearl, good luck and good luck!" The center of the disc at the top is carved with a "Fu" character in relief, and then surrounded by four happy and peaceful bats, dancing around the word "Fu" character, symbolizing "Five Blessings Come to the Gate"!

The so-called ivory carving naturally carves various patterns on ivory. This is an ancient traditional art! Ivory is the most solid part of the elephant. It is as smooth as jade, and its durability and preciousness are comparable to gems. Therefore, there are many people who pursue ivory carvings!

Of course, today's society is different from ancient times, and it is prohibited to hunt elephants, so there are only two types of ivory artworks today. One is the artwork made from ivory left by the natural dead elephants, and the other is the handicraft made from hunting elephants to obtain ivory. Of course, this is illegal! So in the circle of antiques, ivory carvings have always been called - the beauty of embarrassing taboos!

Fang Cheng put the little man on the ground and came to the next to the ivory carving. He turned to look at the two men standing beside him. They were about fifty years old, wearing a simple black canvas jacket, with a vicissitudes of life. The young man looked young, and seemed to be only twenty years old. He was not tall but very strong. It seemed that they were the sellers of this ivory carving!

"The lines are smooth and vivid, huh... the engraving technique is indeed good!"

Fang Cheng looked at the ivory carving in front of him and sighed. After hearing his words, the old seller hurriedly stood up and nodded,

"That's natural. Such exquisite ivory carvings made of ivory all over the body must be the masterpiece of an ancient carving master! In ancient times, ivory was an expensive and rare object, and it was impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with such decorations. I think... this is definitely an artifact used by the palace or royal nobles!"

"Ancient?"

The equation repeats the way,

"There were so many dynasties in ancient times, and ivory carvings have been around for thousands of years. Which dynasty are you talking about in ancient times?"

"I think...it was probably from the Qing Dynasty!"

The old seller looked at the somewhat aggressive tone of Fang Cheng and frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy.

"I am not a professional collector, but the objects passed down from my ancestors happened to be in my hands. It is normal for me not to understand! If you want to buy it, then buy it. If you don't want to buy it, I don't need to say these extra words to you!"

Seeing that the seller was angry, Fang Cheng smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Don't be angry, such expensive objects, don't talk about them here, you have to ask clearly when you go to other places. Do you think this is the reason!"

When the man heard Everb say this, the anger on his face faded a lot. Everb saw that he had returned to normal and continued to say,

"The Qing Dynasty was indeed the heyday of ivory carving craftsmanship. Many ivory carvings that were passed down from the Qing Dynasty! And this ivory carving looks...it does look like an object respecting the Qing Dynasty!"
