At eight o'clock in the evening on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Weimin, who was full of food and wine, first sent Fei Xiang and Zhang Qiang back one after another, and then took Matsumoto Keiko back to Ma's Garden from the Diplomatic Apartments.
Although he was excited about what he had gained today, he basically won Zunlong to join him.
Moreover, he also obtained the approval of Song Huagui and Zou Guodong to take the fast food chain industry originally designed for the company into his own pocket.
However, after this trip, a bigger problem was placed in front of him.
Although there is no problem for him in terms of funds, he is short of time and cannot stay in the capital for a long time.
Whether it is changes in corporate legal persons, partners, or qualified employees, these are all issues that he must solve as soon as possible.
Otherwise, six downtown shops plus a central kitchen would have to sit idle and would not be able to open for business. This would be like throwing money down the drain.
Although he can afford it, he is a child who comes from a poor background. He wastes money and things without letting money make money, and he feels uncomfortable when it is operated effectively.
Who says rich people can’t be blind to money?
As handsome and handsome as he is, isn't he just as greedy for beauty?
So after he returned to Ma's garden, he first chatted with Matsumoto Keiko for a while, and then got her bath water.
They hugged each other and made out for a while, becoming a lecher.
Then he didn't even bother to wash up and rest, so he wandered to the Jiang family's courtyard next door and continued to pawn strings for money.
He was anxious to find his cheap cousin, Shen Cun, to talk about the fast food chain.
A bungalow is no better than a building. One advantage is that there is no need to notify when visiting.
As long as you stand in the courtyard and cough twice loudly, you have said hello.
Sure enough, I heard the movement in the courtyard, and soon my eldest cousin's inquiry came from the north room where the lights were on.
Ning Weimin responded, and Shen Cun quickly opened the door himself and asked him to come in and warm himself up.
Walking into the north room of the Jiang family, Ning Weimin thought he would see that this originally empty room must have some Western-style furniture added to it, and it would look like that.
After all, Jiang Nianyun was still talking about it yesterday, saying that Shen Cun would move all the luggage stored in the Beijing Hotel today.
And I want to go out, buy some sofas, and decorate the living room.
Ning Weimin also entrusted Luo Guangliang with this matter, asking him to go to the Capital Hotel to help today, and then take the old lady and Shen Cun to a store where they could buy imported furniture.
He even asked Luo Guangliang to bring more money so that the old lady could buy whatever she liked.
The only thing is, don't let the old lady spend money, it will be regarded as our filial piety.
However, he did not expect that when he and Qingzi came back after a day of socializing, Kang Shude and Luo Guangliang were not at home.
Luo Guangliang left a note for him, saying that he was taking the old man to take a bath in the washing basin of Tsinghua Garden in Wangfujing.
Therefore, he didn't know how Jiang Nianyun was doing here.
At this time, when I came to Jiang Nianyun's courtyard, I was surprised to find that except for the heat and the fragrance in the north room, the whole house was still empty. There were no newly purchased sofas or Western-style furniture.
If there were any changes, it would be that a nave painting was hung in this room, there was an extra set of tables and chairs, a censer burning incense was placed on the Eight Immortals table, and there were several scrolls.
In addition, there is a flower table and a large pot of wintersweet bonsai in the corner of the room.
Jiang Nianyun was standing next to an old gramophone, wiping it with a piece of cloth. It seemed that he had been playing with this old object just now.
Ning Weimin was a little surprised, but he had already said hello to Jiang Nianyun.
I was also very sorry to say that I came over rashly at night and disturbed my fourth aunt's rest.
"You don't have to be so polite. We, my mother-in-law, are in high spirits. Speaking of which, we were just about to thank you. Your master took us to the row of houses near the gate today. There are really many good things there.
Where are the things? We, the two of us, were dazzled by the selection and became addicted to it. No, these were all chosen from the sundries by the two of us today. We simply didn’t go out today, and we planned to go pick them out tomorrow.
What to choose..."
Ning Weimin quickly understood what was going on.
It's amazing since Sun Wufu brought those juniors from his hometown.
He became more and more efficient in collecting used goods, and he got more and more things.
Although the old books have a place to go, other things are piling up.
He was also honest and strictly followed Ning Weimin's instructions.
Don't dare to sell food that you are not sure about, and wait until Ning Weimin and Kang Shude have seen it before they dare to sell it to the outside world.
If you run out of money, go to Luo Guangliang and ask for it.
Anyway, Ning Weimin gave me some advice, and Luo Guangliang often sent handicrafts to the Temple of Heaven. Since last year, he has been soliciting customers at the Temple of Heaven, which is very convenient.
As a result, the Zhai Palace's warehouse gradually became full, and there was almost no room to store so many things.
Later, Kang Shude simply gave him a message and asked Luo Guangliang to lend him the opportunity to deliver goods to the Temple of Heaven, and he also brought a few trucks of used goods to Majia Garden every time.
When the old man has free time, he will naturally go to Majia Garden to choose.
Even if you have something good, there is no need to move it anywhere, just keep it in the garden.
The ones that are not suitable for use also exist in a row of empty houses at the entrance of Ma's Garden. Anyway, there is plenty of land.
Later, the old man even asked Luo Guangliang to bring over the furniture returned by the country that he had stored in the air-raid shelter of the pastry factory.
So now, in the row of houses near the front of the Majia Garden, at least three rooms are filled with these things. It is simply a huge treasure house filled with second-hand goods.
Once inside, you will find the treasure house of the Forty Thieves. There is a dazzling array of things inside, including everything.
No need to ask, Kang Shude must have taken Jiang Nianyun over for a look today because he was afraid that Jiang Nianyun would waste his money.
Let her see if there is anything suitable for her, and if she does, she can take it out and use it, so she doesn't have to buy anything.
That's why Jiang Nianyun said this after seeing him.
"Fourth Aunt, you're so polite. You said 'thank you' to me? Use whatever you think is good. As long as you like it, it's a blessing. You should use it well."
, then my master will be happy, and if you and I are happy, then Brother Shen and I will also be happy too."
Ning Weimin is a fun-loving person, and of course he knows how to say things to be the most likable.
Jiang Nianyun immediately laughed when he heard the sound, "You are good at talking, and you are even more generous in your actions. But there is one thing you have to think about clearly. Your master is not embarrassed to make decisions for you about the things I picked out today. You just open your mouth
It seems a little hasty to give it to me. If I really want it from you, you will regret it..."
These words made Ning Weimin perk up and couldn't help but look at everything in the room seriously.
Who is Jiang Nianyun?
Of course it is impossible to say such things in vain.
As a lady from a famous family, she was the most elegant person Ning Weimin had ever seen.
Take now, for example, even if she is using this space in a small courtyard that belongs entirely to her and is already very private.
She is also wearing a black satin cheongsam with dark flowers, and the collar and cuffs are inlaid with extremely beautiful two strips of tape.
The ribbon is embroidered with patterns of flowers, birds, bees, and butterflies. The delicate embroidery work depicts the dancing butterflies among the flowers, letting the exuberance of life and the liveliness of spring flow out from the cuffs and collar.
The pair of embroidered shoes on her feet are also colorful.
He also put on light makeup and perfume on his face.
For an old lady like her to say that there is something rare in it, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.
It's a pity that Ning Weimin's eyesight is limited. He almost didn't dare to blink. His eyes went back and forth over these things several times, but he never found a breakthrough, or even a clue that made people suspicious.
Because the furniture was either made of elm or walnut, and could only be regarded as daily necessities for well-off families in the capital.
This type of woodware is too common and has nothing to do with the hardwood furniture used by high-end households. It is definitely not of high quality.
Copper incense burners are a miscellaneous item that he is particularly good at.
He looked at objects that were from the late Qing Dynasty at most, and had no origin.
That wintersweet is a bonsai, not a gem bonsai. It is impossible to get it from the warehouse. You can pass it away directly.
Although he didn't understand the market for old-fashioned gramophones, he still believed that they couldn't be more valuable than a piece of porcelain from an official kiln, and it was not worth what Jiang Nianyun said.
So in the end, Ning Weimin couldn't rely on his eyesight and could only make inferences by elimination.
After thinking about it, he thought that if there was something wrong with these things, it must be in the nave painting or the scrolls on the table.
So I couldn't help but walked over and stopped in front of the table.
First, let’s take a closer look at the painting in the nave, which is “Lotus, Butterflies and Magpies” signed by Chen Laolian. Although the painting is exquisite, light colors and heavy colors are used in combination, it is quaint and simple.
But the paper obviously has a big flaw that anyone can see.
It's too new, and it can't be older than Tongzhi. It can't be the handwriting of Chen Hongshou in the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, Ning Weimin couldn't help but shook his head, and went to open a few scrolls on the table to read.
Unexpectedly, the inside was still a fake of the same type as the nave.
He opened two scrolls in succession, and found that they were both "Pictures of Ladies" signed by Tang Yin.
Although his knowledge in calligraphy and painting is limited, he also knows that no matter how good a painter is, how can this be true?
Even if he is lucky and is lucky enough to pick up something missing, judging from the probability, it cannot appear in his warehouse in the same batch in large quantities?
There is no such truth, even children know it.
In this way, Ning Weimin truly admitted defeat, and he couldn't help but sincerely ask for advice.
"Fourth Aunt, forgive me for my poor eyesight and lack of knowledge. I really can't tell which of the objects you chose is a treasure. Just these few paintings, they are all from Xibei. So...I...please...
You are willing to teach me and let me understand..."
"It's easy to figure it out. But let's talk about it first. I'll tell you what's going on. This thing belongs to me. You can't take it back if you want. What do you think? Do you want to do it?"
"Look at what you said, there's nothing wrong with this. Whatever I have, just ask for it. Don't talk about these things that don't seem worth a few, it's the real Tang Yin, Chen Laolian, you want it,
I don't feel bad at all. I'm not the one who pretends to recruit you. My filial piety towards you is something that can't be exchanged for real money. If not, what's the point of you recognizing me as a cheap nephew? As a human being, you have to be sincere in exchange.
Sincerely, eight taels for half a catty, right?"
Ning Weimin poured down this sweet soup, not to mention Jiang Nianyun's beauty, Shen Cun was also amused by him.
Originally, Shen Cun was a person with a calm personality, and he lived in a non-Chinatown environment in the United States.
To be honest, he has never seen a person as eloquent and eloquent as Ning Weimin in his life.
Seeing that Ning Weimin could easily make his mother so happy with just a few words.
It was really an eye-opener for Shen Cun, and he couldn't help but look at Ning Weimin with admiration and admiration.
And sure enough, people with sweet mouths are blessed.
People like Jiang Nianyun have always set their sights on others and have a true aristocratic temperament.
He takes money lightly but values human kindness. He never takes anything for free, and he never loses his dignity for the sake of money.
The reason why I can say such things is just joking with my juniors.
Even if she encounters the best things, she can't really be delusional and greedy.
"Okay, I won't joke with you. Don't worry, what's yours is yours. Your fourth aunt can't steal your things. I can only hang up these paintings of yours to play with.
It’s only a few days, I won’t leave anything behind, you take everything.”
"What? The problem really lies in these paintings."
Ning Weimin showed a bewildered expression, "Fourth Aunt, I would like to hear the details."
It's not surprising that he was so strange. Not to mention anything else, Kang Shude had also mastered the central hall.
Even the old man insisted that the painting was not real. Ning Weimin really couldn't believe that there was something fishy hidden there.
"Hey, that's what it's all about. You can probably tell that these paintings are fakes. Yes, they are Xibei products, but Xibei products are also divided into grades. I chose this one
There are several paintings, but they are all painted by famous artists."
Jiang Nianyun didn't take it for granted and quickly revealed the inside story, "This Chen Laolian painting was actually copied by Xie Zhiliu. These Tang Yin paintings were all painted by Zhang Daqian. Do you think they are good things?"
"What?" Ning Weimin was really surprised by this answer and was stunned on the spot.
For Jiang Nianyun, his reaction seemed to have been expected. The old lady smiled and continued to educate him.
"As for you, you really deserve to be your master's disciple. You are of the same origin. You have the same way of looking at things and picking things. When looking at calligraphy and painting, it is nothing more than looking at the paper first, then the ink, then the mounting, and finally the painting.
Chapter, as long as one thing is wrong, you don't need to read the rest. This method can really guarantee that you will not buy Xibei products. But the problem is that you don't know how to draw. It is inevitable that some 'delicates' will come from
It slipped through your fingers. In fact, in the Republic of China, it was not a shameful thing for a famous artist to amuse his predecessors. If there are no high-quality forgeries in calligraphy and painting collection, how can we reflect the level of connoisseurs? What about Xie Zhiliu's early years?
His calligraphy and painting art was deeply influenced by Chen Hongshou. The flowers and birds he copied most in his life were Chen Laolian's flowers and birds. If you understand the painting characteristics of Chen Laolian and Xie Zhiliu, you can recognize the source of this painting based on your ability to read paper and ink mountings.
It's not difficult at all. Zhang Daqian had a good relationship with my father. I am dissatisfied with you for saying that I have seen these "Pictures of Ladies" when I was a child. Before Zhang Daqian came out with this picture, he even showed it off to a group of friends, including my father, saying that it was just because of his painting skills.
It's hard to tell the authenticity from the fake. In fact, these "Pictures of Ladies" are from Liufu in total. There are only four pictures here, and two are missing. Otherwise, they would be a complete set..."
Jiang Nianyun's words shocked Ning Weimin.
Originally, he only admired his teacher Kang Shude for his erudition and talent, but now he realizes that among the strong, there is a strong master.
No wonder even Kang Shude said that the real master of antiques must be the one who comes from a wealthy family.
Because just having money is not enough, you also need to have time, culture, and leisure.
Almost no play at all.
Think about it, what kind of luck is this today?
I came here originally to talk about serious things, but I ended up picking up millions of paintings and calligraphy for nothing.
This is just the current price, and there is a high probability that it will reach hundreds of millions in the future.
What's more, Ning Weimin has never had an ancient painting copied by a famous artist.
These paintings were so rare to him that he was determined to show them off to Rongbaozhai.
So Ning Weimin sincerely admired him, "Okay, fourth aunt, I won't go to all the trouble of asking my master to take care of calligraphy and painting in the future. I'd better ask you for advice if you have any questions. They say that if there is an old man in the family, if there is an old man,
Bao, look at my luck. I can have an aunt like you this Spring Festival. God is so lucky to me. Why do I have to catch up with all the good things? I already have a master, and now you are added to it.
Now that I have two treasures! I guess this means stupid people will be blessed."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Nianyun smiled so proudly that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
"Are you still stupid? You always pretend to be stupid in front of me..." ()
