A treasure-appraisal maniac

When I came to the courtyard again, I ignored everything else and went directly to the bedroom.

Last night, Lu Fei felt that the layout of this bedroom was a bit awkward.

The problem lies in the east closet.

The closet is a solid wood structure, 50 centimeters high and 1.2 meters wide. It has double doors and is suspended at a height of about 1.5 meters with angle iron brackets underneath.

There is no connection point between the solid wood outer ring and the wall. It is obvious that the closet is designed to sit inside the wall and protrude about forty centimeters outside.

This design is both strong and beautiful, and can maximize storage space. It is very common in small houses.

However, when Lu Fei opened the closet last night, he discovered something unusual.

The house in the family courtyard has 37 red brick walls, plus cement walls and wall plaster, the thickness is almost 40 centimeters.

A closet of this design should be installed by cutting half of the wall, which means advancing about twenty centimeters.

But when you open the closet in this house, the inner wall is almost the same as the indoor wall. So where did the twenty centimeters of space that went into the wall go?

Lu Fei brought a chair and stood on it.

He reached out and tapped on the inside wall of the closet.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Boom!"

After knocking for more than ten times in succession, a distinctive sound suddenly came out.

This sound is subtly different from other locations, and most people would never notice it unless they hit it deliberately.

It seems that my guess is correct, there is indeed a mezzanine!

The mezzanine of such an awesome home design must contain important things.

Lu Fei felt a little excited and continued tapping with his hands.

A few minutes later, Lu Fei found the exact location of the mezzanine.

The mezzanine is not big, about fifty centimeters long and about thirty centimeters high.

After careful inspection, there were no traces of bonding on the inner wall planks, but instead were embedded in the outer wall.

It's obvious that this is a one-off mezzanine.

The closet is a whole, hide the things in it first, and then install the closet.

The only way to open the mezzanine is to open the closet

Remove the whole thing.

However, Lu Fei didn't have that patience.

Take the ax out of the bag and dismantle it violently.

"Bang, bang"

"Crack!"

Under Lu Fei's violent beating, the closet was in pieces in less than ten minutes.

Then I smashed some of the surrounding red bricks, took out the crowbar, reached in and pried a few times, and then all the solid wood closets were removed.

It's exactly what Lu Fei guessed.

The part of the closet that goes deep into the wall is a frame. To put it bluntly, it is a blindfold.

Inside is post-fill red brick.

In the middle, a piece of plywood covered with mold was nailed to a place 50 centimeters high and 30 centimeters high.

Behind this plywood is the mezzanine.

The sound of the knock just now has not changed much, the key lies in this piece of plywood.

There is a gap between the plywood and the closet, which creates a double effect.

When tapped, the sound is not much different from the sound of a solid wall.

Using plywood for sound insulation, this guy is really well-intentioned!

The screwdriver was inserted into the gap and the plywood was easily removed. The mezzanine space was completely exposed to Lu Fei's eyes.

Lu Fei grinned when he saw what was inside.

There is a silver-lacquered iron box placed vertically inside, twenty-five centimeters high and about thirty-five centimeters long.

All the neatly placed gold bars around him were gold bars weighing two ounces each.

There are twenty-two gold bars in total, which are quite valuable.

But in Lu Fei's eyes, this is useless garbage.

Seeing this thing, Lu Fei's head hurt.

Regardless of the gold bars, Lu Fei took out the iron box.

The weight is extremely light, which makes Lu Fei even more disappointed.

When I came downstairs, I threw the iron box on the bed and opened it.

The surface is thick newspaper wrapped in plastic film.

Open the film and take away the newspaper. The top layer is actually rice paper, and the ink marks can be clearly seen through the paper.

Lu Fei has a paranoid love for porcelain, calligraphy and painting.

However, Lu Fei couldn't get excited when he saw these ink marks.

First, paper is from modern times, at most it dates back to the Republic of China.

Second, it doesn’t even have a damn frame, so it’s not a good thing to think about.

It's probably some kind of invisible evidence.

However, now that we have reached this point, we must open it and see what it is. .??.

I didn't have any hope at first, but when Lu Fei unfolded the rice paper, his eyes lit up.

This is a seven-character couplet in regular script.

The first couplet is: Full of peace and harmony, like the sea.

The second line is: The moon is in the sky.

On the left side there is the title "Qi Gong".

There are two bell seals below.

The first one is "Gong is under Yu" and the other one is "Yuan Bai."

Hiss——

This is actually Master Qi Gong’s seven-character couplet?

It's not even framed, so why is it so miserable?

Can this be true?

This time, Lu Fei really hesitated.

Lu Fei in his previous life didn't know Qi Gong at all.

Fortunately, when Lu Fei was in school, he had a deep understanding of this representative figure of modern Chinese calligraphy.

After reading each word one by one, and then taking a closer look at the seal and calligraphy, I finally determined that this was the original work of Master Qi Gong.

Master Qi Gong is amazing.

Qigong is a Manchu, his surname is Aixinjueluo, his original name is Chagdorzabu, he is the ninth generation descendant of Emperor Yongzheng.

Yuanbai is his given name, also known as Yuan Bo, and his nickname is Yuanbei Jushi.

He is a famous contemporary Chinese calligrapher, painter, educator, classical philologist, connoisseur, red scholar, poet, and master of Chinese studies.

There are dozens of titles later, so I won’t go into details here. All in all, this is quite an amazing person.

In the modern Chinese calligraphy world, it is the undisputed Taishan Beidou.

Even though he is a modern calligrapher, his works are no less valuable than those of ancient famous calligraphers.

At auctions in various places, almost all Qi Gong's authentic works start at a million dollars.

This seven-character couplet is a masterpiece of master Qi Gong's late work, with vigorous brushwork and profound skills.

Lu Fei estimated that this seven-syllable couplet would be worth at least tens of millions.

Even though it only cost tens of millions, Lu Fei liked it very much.

There is no shortage of calligraphy and painting works by ancient famous masters, but there are really no works by modern calligraphers.

Also, Master Qi Gong was Lu Fei’s idol when he was in school!

Lu Fei was excited enough to get the authentic work of his idol.

After admiring it for a while, Lu Fei took out a brocade box and carefully packed the calligraphy.

While pretending, he cursed that stupid high-ranking leader.

Damn it!

If you don't like it, don't accept it. Once you accept it, you should cherish it.

At the very least, frame it!

Look, the paper is full of creases and damaged in several places on the edges. It’s simply a sin!

Thank you for dying early, otherwise I would have given you two mouthfuls.

Venting in his heart, Lu Fei focused his attention on the iron box again, because the Seven-Character Couplet was only the first layer, and there were things underneath.

It's still an object wrapped in a newspaper. The newspaper package is about the same size as the seven-character couplet.

The newspaper package was opened, and there was still rice paper inside. It was also printed with ink, but it was still not framed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Fei's nose almost became angry.

In my heart, I greeted the prodigal leader Gao's ancestors for more than a dozen generations.

Breathing calmly, Lu Fei carefully unfolded the rice paper.

The picture appeared before his eyes, and Lu Fei took a breath of air.

"It's actually it?"
