After receiving a call from Lin Haitao, He Qing and Gu Qing rushed to Antique Street. After arriving at "Yi Gu Xuan", He Qing said to Gu Qing: "Gu Qing, I'm going to Jian Bao Zhai. Look.
Let’s go to the store.”
"Well, you go ahead." Gu Qing smiled sweetly, nodded and said...Yi Guxuan, it's fine for me to watch over you alone. You still have to go to work at "Jianbaozhai, so come over and take care of me when you have time."
, you can be busy with your business the rest of the time, it doesn’t matter. Don’t worry, I will take good care of our store.”
"Well, I know." He Qing smiled happily and said, "Don't you feel relieved to have you in charge? You basically ran this store by yourself. Oh, by the way, Gu Qing, let me tell you something.
You should pay more attention in the future."
"What is it?" Gu Qing asked.
He Qing replied: "In the future, when someone comes to our store to sell something, don't buy it easily. You have to see it clearly before buying it. If it's something with a high price, it's best to tell us and we can discuss it together."
Gu Qing nodded quickly and agreed, "I won't do that again in the future. The thing about the "flesh urn" last time made me feel really guilty. I took the risk to buy it that day because the price was very low. Congratulations.
Qing, if someone comes to sell something again and you are not around, I will tell you and let you make the decision. Your eyesight is much better than mine. In fact, I can’t even recognize a lot of things.
.”
He Qing nodded slightly and responded: "Okay, it's best to discuss it together."
Although compared to Gu Qing, He Qing's basic appraisal knowledge is not better than Gu Qing's, he has a pair of magical eyes, through which he can see the ins and outs of antiques. Even experts cannot make accurate judgments on many things, but he can accurately judge them.
Provide dating and related understanding.
Therefore, He Qing has an advantage in appraising antiques. If others want to deceive Gu Qing, they may not be able to deceive him.
Now that he has punished Liu Heng severely, Liu Heng will definitely not give up. He just doesn't know how he will retaliate, so he has to "defend strictly" to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the loophole.
After Zao Haosheng gave Gu Qing a few words, He Qing said goodbye and left "Yi Gu Xuan" and soon happily arrived at "Jian Bao Zhai."
Lin Haitao made it very clear on the phone just now that Master Zubei came to "Jianbaozhai" and was looking for He Qing.
No need to think about He Qing to guess that the Patriarch was looking for him only about that piece of ancient ink. Although that magical piece of ancient ink is almost certain to be "the best in the world" Li Mo, there is still a little uncertainty.
Because of the collection, if the ancestor took the ink and compared it with Li Mo's works, and the results were very consistent, then there would definitely be no problem.
He Qing is looking forward to the result that his ancestor is about to tell him. He is naturally full of confidence in this. No matter what, he already knows the origin of the thing. The age is very consistent with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the quality of the thing is so good.
, it would be strange if something went wrong.
"Brother Qing, are you here?!,"
When He Qing hurriedly walked into the "Jianbao Zhai", he saw at a glance that in addition to Lin Haitao and Uncle Long, there were several other people in the store, including his ancestor and Mr. Deng.
The first thing He Qing noticed was the look on his ancestor's face. Seeing him smiling and happy, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "The ancestor must have come to tell me the good news, right? Otherwise,
Why are you so happy?,"
"Yes." He Qing immediately composed himself and nodded to Lin Haitao, who was running towards him.
Lin Haitao, who ran up to He Qing in a few steps, said with a smile: "Master Patriarch and Mr. Deng have been here for a long time, and they all want to see you."
"Oh, what's the matter?" He Qing asked solemnly.
Lin Haitao said: "It should have something to do with your Hua Kuai Li Mo. Didn't my ancestor take some of the ink you grinded out and compare it with the calligraphy and painting written by Li Mo? You knew it in the past. Go quickly, don't let it happen."
Grandmaster and the others have waited too long."
"Okay, okay." He Qing nodded quickly and quickly walked up to Master Patriarch and Mr. Deng.
"Grandpa Grandpa, Mr. Deng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." When he walked up to Grandpa Grandpa and the others, He Qing said hello politely.
The Patriarch said with a smile: "It's okay. Xiao He, please sit down. It's a good thing to tell you something."
"Thank you." He Qing followed the words and sat on a chair next to him.
I heard the Patriarch say with some excitement: "Now I can be sure that your piece of ink is definitely a piece of Li ink that is more valuable than gold. It's so rare!"
"Oh, really?" He Qing was excited for a while. Although he had expected this before, he was still greatly surprised when the news was told to him by the Grandmaster himself.
The Patriarch nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! After careful comparison, the ink on your piece of ink and the calligraphy written on the painting with Li Mo were exactly the same. I was not convinced, so I later contacted several people in the calligraphy circle.
Experts made an identification and the results unanimously agreed that your piece of ink is undoubtedly Li Mo! Xiao
Congratulations, congratulations, you took the magic medicine and picked up such a big leak! Li Mo is unique. There are only a few pieces that are relatively complete in the world. Now one piece is in your hands. You have got a big treasure.
Got it!"
"That's great!" He Qing said with great joy. "Grandpa, thank you so much. I also have to thank the experts who helped me with the appraisal!"
At this point, he was completely relieved. The matter that the piece of ancient ink was Li Mo had been settled, and there was no longer any need for doubt.
"Don't be polite, we are all our own people." Master Patriarch shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am happy for you that you can find such a good thing. Xiaohe, but I have a feeling, I hope you can help me."
.”
"Grandpa Grandpa, if you have any questions, just ask me. As long as you can do it, you will do your best!" He Qing replied decisively.
When the Patriarch said those words, he was surprised. He never expected that such a highly respected master would plead with him like that. This was inevitably flattering.
Just listen to the ancestor say: "The thing is like this, didn't you give me some Li Mo that day? After I took it back, I wanted to draw a picture, but the pen and ink were not enough, and the ink ran out about halfway through the painting. At that time
I was so excited that I didn’t expect this, but when I realized that I didn’t have enough pen and ink, it was already too late. Now there is only half of the painting, and half of it is unfinished, but I can’t switch to ordinary ink, so I’m very confused.”
After much deliberation, I can only come over and ask you for a favor. Can you ink a little more ink and give it to me? "That's all I need for that day."
"This?!" He Qing nodded without hesitation, "Of course! There's a lot of ink anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's so little!"
He agreed very readily." After hearing this, the Patriarch was excited and said gratefully: "Thank you then! Li Mo is very precious, and I can't ask for it now. If you weren't willing to help me, I might not be able to fulfill this wish in my life.
Got it!"
Li Mo is the calligrapher's dream calligraphy treasure." Who doesn't want to use Li Mo to draw a picture or write handwriting, but that is just a distant dream. After all, Li Mo is almost an orphan and extremely difficult to obtain.
"Grandpa Grandpa, then I will take out the things right away and grind the ink for you." He Qing said immediately, he was resolute and unambiguous at all.
Then he called Lin Haitao, and the two of them walked to the vault of Jianbaozhai and carefully took out the piece of Li Mo. When the things were placed on the table, "Mr. Deng, whom he met for the first time, and the ancestor brought it
Several experts exclaimed and praised one after another.
"Xiao He, you are amazing!" Mr. Deng praised loudly. "I never thought you could find Li Mo! You can tell at a glance that this piece of ink is of very good quality, and it wins with quality! Ordinary ornamental ink is just
The shape is just more attractive. There are no flowers, no lines on the surface of your piece of ink, and no forbidden ornaments. However, it is deep and simple, and has that charm. Now it is identified as Li Mo. "This is actually not surprising!"
He Qing said with a smile: "When I found it, I thought it was just an ordinary piece of ink, but at first I thought it was very old." Now that I have the appraisal from Grandpa Grandpa and the others, I don't have to worry!"
"Well, you can rest assured." Mr. Deng nodded and replied solemnly, "Li Mo is extremely precious. Now it is priceless in the antique market! Xiao He, what are you going to do with this piece of ink?"
?Do you want to keep it, or do you want to sell it? If you are willing to transfer it, don't sell it to others, we are also willing to accept it, and as for the price, naturally you will not suffer a loss."
He Qing shook his head without thinking and said: "I don't plan to transfer it, I want to keep it for myself."
Of course he could hear what Mr. Deng said. The other party wanted to buy it, but he really didn't think about it. It was not that he was afraid that Mr. Deng and the others would not offer a higher price than others, but that he would be useful.
Li Mo is a masterpiece. It is so rare that He Qing is not willing to give it up. He still wants to keep it for himself. Although he does not know calligraphy now, and he knows nothing about soft-brush calligraphy and painting, he can learn it, and he can even learn it very easily from the ancients.
Li Mo's superb calligraphy skills will naturally come in handy by then.
Good things must be treasured well!
After talking to Mr. Deng again, He Qing began to grind ink for his ancestor. This time he gave him about a small bottle of ink. Inoue asked for a lot more, but after grinding, the piece of ink was also missing.
So one and a half points can't tell anything at all. Li Mo is very durable. It took more than ten years for the ancients to use up one piece. Now it's no big deal if the ancestor borrows a little.
After getting the bottle of Li Mo that He Qingmo gave him, the Patriarch was very satisfied and grateful, and said emphatically: "Xiao He, you help me like this, I can't let your work go in vain, I have to give you something
Things represent reward. I wonder what you like? What kind of things do you usually like to collect? Is it porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or other gold, silver, and bronze wares?"
He Qing said: "Grandpa, please don't be so polite. It's just a trivial matter. I don't want your reward. If you give me something, wouldn't it be a deal between us? How can I want your things?
?But I want to ask a question."
"What's the problem? Just tell me." Grandmaster said hurriedly.
He Qing said: "Mr. Zheng will be celebrating his seventieth birthday soon. I want to prepare a gift for him, but I don't know much about his situation. I want to prepare an antique, but I don't know what he likes to collect most.
What, you are his master, you must know his preferences better than anyone else, can you tell me?"
"So that's what happened?" Master Patriarch smiled and said, "You are such a caring person! Your master likes to collect Zhang Daqian's works."
"Zhang Daqian's paintings?!" He Qing was shocked when he heard Zhang Daqian's name. His first reaction was that Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and paintings are very expensive. Zhang Daqian is so famous that even people who are not in the antique shop know that he is a big man.
A painter, his works are very popular in the international market, and their transaction prices are often tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
It is basically impossible for him to prepare Zhang Daqian's paintings for Zheng Lou as a birthday gift. He doesn't have so much money now. Even if he can raise the money, he may not have time to find a suitable painting now.
.
After getting the Li Mo that He Qingmo produced, Grandmaster and the others said goodbye and left the "Jianbaozhai". But not long after, someone walked in. The man looked familiar and claimed to be entrusted by Grandmaster to deliver something.
When he put the things he brought on the table and unfolded them, He Qing and Lin Haitao were both very surprised. It was actually a painting with Zhang Daqian's seal.
