Chapter 793 Crane Top Red
"Walking by the river often, there is no way to get your shoes wet."
At this time, Gao Dequan smiled and said, "It was this handsome personality that made him heartbroken for a long time. One of his brothers didn't know the preciousness of tea sets at all. He accidentally broke a cup, which naturally made him unable to say anything. From then on, he would never dare to take tea sets to treat guests..."
This matter is also an interesting story in the collection world, but Gao Dequan is also kind-hearted. He did not point out the man's name, just to make everyone happy, there is no need to go into it.
Of course, as the main object of comparison, Yu Feibai must be unhappy and said, "Uncle De, what does it mean to show off like me? I am not as happy as everyone. If you have good things, you will naturally let everyone share..."
"One meaning, it's all about showing off anyway." Wang Guan chuckled and changed the topic directly before Yu Feibai refuted: "Uncle De, when are you planning to go to the capital?"
"Tomorrow." Gao Dequan smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw Qian Lao, and I plan to stay there for a few days... As for you, it's time to go back to the capital. Why don't you go together?"
"I don't care, the key is Wang Guan." Yu Feibai said casually: "He seems to have something to do."
"Um?"
Gao Dequan was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"A small matter." Wang Guan smiled and said, "I promised Mr. Feng... to give me the pieces of Mao porcelain. If the porcelain is ready, I will send him some."
"It should be." Gao Dequan nodded immediately and praised: "If it weren't for that Mr. Feng, we probably wouldn't have this batch of porcelain. We really have to thank them."
"Well, so I plan to send it to me in person, it will probably take one or two days." Wang Guan explained, and then smiled and said, "But you can't let Mr. Qian wait in a hurry. You can send the things to me first."
"It's OK." Gao Dequan nodded slightly.
"And you."
At the right time, Wang Guan asked: "Do you follow me to Shuchuan or go to the capital with Uncle De?"
"Of course I'm going back to the capital." Yu Feibai said without hesitation, with some expectations: "I also want to hear how Mr. Qian evaluates Mr. Zhu's early works."
After all, the evaluation process is an opportunity to learn, and Yu Feibai will definitely not miss it.
"It's okay." Wang Guan didn't care. After delivering the goods, he flew directly to the capital. Then he would ask Mr. Qian for advice.
The next day, everyone came to the airport together, but the flights were different. Wang Guan's flight was early, so he boarded the plane with everyone and arrived at Shudu Airport soon after.
However, Mr. Feng’s home is not in Shudu, but in Meishan. So Wang Guan still had to transfer the car and after some twists and turns, he came to his destination. Of course, the so-called destination only refers to the city, not Mr. Feng’s home.
It has been more than half a year since Wang Guan has a good memory, but he only remembers the approximate direction of Feng’s hometown. As for the specific location, he is a little confused.
However, after some search, Wang Guan finally found the place and then went up and rang the doorbell easily.
"Who?"
Not long after, a nanny came out and saw Wang Guan through the iron fence. She felt very unfamiliar, so she was alert and did not open the door. She just asked in the partition: "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Mr. Feng at home?" Wang Guan asked with a smile. He didn't call in advance, just to give Mr. Feng a surprise.
"Old Feng is not at home."
The nanny frowned slightly, but she still explained clearly: "He has something to do and will not come back until the evening."
"Well!"
In an instant, Wang Guan really felt like shooting himself in the foot. If he had greeted him in advance, Mr. Feng would probably have been waiting for him to come at home. Now that the person is not here, he is a little stunned.
"It's really bad luck." Wang Guan blinked and simply asked, "Where has Mr. Feng gone? Can you call him back?"
The nanny did not casually reveal Mr. Feng’s whereabouts, but just asked: “What are you in urgent need? What are you doing with Mr. Feng?”
"I'm here to visit Mr. Feng."
Understanding the nanny's concerns, Wang Guan smiled directly and said, "Do you still remember me? I came last year..."
"Last year?" The nanny was stunned and looked at Wang Guan carefully. She had a vague impression. After a while, she suddenly remembered it and said in surprise: "By the way, it was you... who helped Mr. Feng recover the picture."
"I'm right."
Wang Guan nodded and admitted, completely dispelling the nanny's doubts.
“Come in quickly.”
At the right time, the nanny opened the door and explained: "There is a snuff bottle exhibition in the city. Mr. Feng went to visit it early in the morning and didn't come back to have lunch. Come in and sit down first, I'll call him to come back."
“Snuff Bottle Exhibition…”
Wang Guan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. No wonder Mr. Feng was no longer at home. After all, for Mr. Feng, snuff bottles are his favorite. If such an exhibition is held, you will definitely not miss it.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan stopped the nanny from making a phone call, and at the same time found out the location of the exhibition, and then went straight to that place.
The snuff bottle exhibition is located on the first floor of a spacious commercial building in the center of the city, and there are no restrictions. Anyone can go in and visit. After Wang Guan walked in, he looked at the introduction hanging on the wall and found out that the exhibition was jointly organized by craftsmen of a certain province's snuff bottle genre, aiming to promote the expansion of the influence of the genre.
There are many exhibits in the venue, with at least tens of thousands of snuff bottles. There is no need to mention the materials, anyway, there are all kinds of gold, silver, copper, iron and jade, teeth, bamboo, wood and porcelain, glass, crystal, etc. As for the shapes, there are even more varied, round, square, and there are no shortage of edges and corners, which are diverse, which makes people dazzling.
Speaking of which, being able to be placed in the display cabinet for people to visit shows that these snuff bottles must have a certain level. The compositions on each snuff bottle are also different, including characters, landscapes, poems, flowers and birds, etc., which can be said to be in a small space and a huge atmosphere.
In short, for ordinary people, these snuff bottles can be regarded as meticulously made and very exquisite and beautiful works of art, which also amazed them during the visit.
However, for those who have some appreciation ability, although there are a large number of snuff bottles here, if you carefully calculate it, it is probably not a lot of things that really have weight and can be called high-quality ones.
Wang Guan looked at it briefly and found out that the snuff bottles here can be divided into several levels.
First, the works of ordinary craftsmen have relatively neat shapes, which means they are a bit dull. The drawings are clear, but they are full of craftsmanship and have no characteristics of their own. This type of work occupies an absolute majority of the exhibits.
The second is the works of craftsmen with profound skills and rich experience. The shape of this type of snuff bottle is more vivid, especially in the details, with very smooth lines. The drawings are even more vivid and charming.
Of course, the last category must be the works of masters. Although the shape is still the same, compared with the works of ordinary craftsmen, it gives people a different feeling.
Ordinary people can't say what's the difference, but the difference is very obvious.
It is also an ornamental snuff bottle. If you are watching ordinary works, you just think it is good. However, if you are watching master's works, you will feel good and pleasing to the eye. This is mainly because master's works are often full of so-called artistic appeal, which gives people a completely different feeling.
However, there are definitely not many masters' works, and it is good to have one percent of them. And there is no need to find Wang Guan. Just walk directly to the center of the exhibition hall and you can see the master's works.
At the same time, Wang Guan saw Mr. Feng. At this time, he was watching a master's snuff bottle next to a glass counter. He was focused on his mind and naturally did not notice Wang Guan's arrival.
“As expected…”
Wang Guan smiled and walked over lightly. He deliberately did not remind him, but stood beside Mr. Feng and looked at the snuff bottle in the cabinet. The body of the pot was light yellow, but the lid and sides of the pot were slightly red. It looked a little ordinary, but the whole body was warm and shiny, which looked very delicate and beautiful.
However, compared with other snuff bottles that depict patterns, this snuff bottle is very simple, smooth all over, but without any patterns. This situation is equivalent to the most primitive state of the snuff bottle. Apart from the shape, there is no modification at all. It is not only simple, but also a way to express the simplicity and return to the truth.
The shapes and patterns of snuff bottles are diverse. Due to their different personal aesthetics, some people like cumbersome and lively magnificent patterns, some people like the elegant scenery of mountains and flowing waters, some people prefer flowers and birds, and naturally some people like the original snuff bottles. Simple, plain, not that complicated, so good.
Of course, a master is a master, and he can often turn decay into magic. It is such a very simple snuff bottle without any modification, but everyone can see a different charm. It is not deny that the snuff bottle has good materials, anyway, the light yellow and warm luster makes people feel very pleasant when they see it.
"Crane Ding Hong?" Mr. Feng watched for a while, looked at the label on the counter, and was stunned and said to himself: "Isn't the Crane Ding Pill poison? How can it be made into a snuff bottle?"
"Crane Head Red is not a poison, but a skull of a bird animal..."
"Oh." Old Feng suddenly realized, turned his head instinctively and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Wang Guan, why is it you..."
"Old Feng, long time no see?" Wang Guan greeted with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Mr. Feng asked happily: "Is there anything wrong with coming to Shuchuan?"
"It's true." Wang Guan chuckled, "But this matter is here to visit you, Mr. Feng... I just arrived at your house and found out that you were here, so I rushed over."
