"This gourd painting of yours shows winter plum blossoms and simple landscapes. This gourd is also very particular." Luo Tian pointed at the body of the gourd and said, "The gourd is in an upright position, with the upper and lower belly proportions coordinated, and the curved surface is rounded.
, without too many ridges. The surface of the gourd should be smooth and clean, and a section of branches and vines connecting the gourd should be retained. It is best to have bifurcations, so that the gourd will be complete and beautiful."
Luo Tian took a closer look at the gourd: "This gourd is full and smooth. It is a mature gourd. In addition to being convenient for painting, it is also beneficial to preservation. If you paint on an immature gourd, wrinkles will appear on the surface. On such a gourd,
When painting, no matter how good the painting is, it will affect the effect."
Inoue Mei didn't understand, but Luo Tian's words were easy to understand, and she could vaguely hear some of the article: "So, how much is this gourd painting worth?"
"This one is not worth much. I can only offer 10,000 yuan." Luo Tian explained: "First, it is of recent age, and second, gourd paintings are difficult to preserve."
"I have no choice but to believe you." Inoue Mei let out a long sigh: "Does this mean I am being bullied by a dog?"
Dizzy, Luo Tian was speechless. It seemed that Inoue Mi’s Chinese knowledge was not thorough enough. She was calling herself a dog by saying this! He broke into a sweat and said, "Ms. Inoue, this is not how this saying is used. It is tantamount to scolding me."
"I'm sorry." Inoue Mei actually has a shy side: "My Chinese was taught by Suzuki-kun..." When she mentioned Suzuki, her face darkened again: "Then let's take a look at the last thing."
The last thing was the smallest, so fierce that at first glance I thought it was an ancient coin, but there were strange patterns on it, which didn't look like ordinary ancient coins. "This is money," Luo Zai said.
"What does money mean?" Inoue Mi only knows money.
"To be precise, spending money is not money. It should be said that it is just its name, but it cannot be used as money." Luo Tian said that he even panicked. It is called spending money, but it is not money. It is so difficult to pronounce!
"Spending money first appeared in the Han Dynasty. In the early days, it was mainly used as a kind of money for people to entertain themselves. Since this kind of money is not circulating money, its material is mostly rough. Folks call this kind of money commonly known as spending money."
Money. Although "spending money" has the form of coins, it is not used for circulation and is a non-standard item in coins. There are many types of folk money, such as making furnaces, town treasuries, gifts, blessings, appreciations, plays, accessories, etc.
Money must be minted for zodiac signs, etc. This kind of money is actually used to ward off evil spirits, auspicious items, and souvenirs for certain needs."
"Like Chinese dice?"
"Well, it really looks like it." Luo Tian looked at the front and back of the coin: "The coin you have is an auspicious coin. As the name suggests, it is money with auspicious words engraved on it. For example, some coins have auspicious words engraved on it.
It will be engraved with words such as peace in the world, longevity and wealth, which are very auspicious to the Chinese people, expressing the people's blessing and pursuit of a happy life, and reflecting ancient folk customs and customs."
"I don't quite understand. Is spending money called spending money?" Inoue Mei was completely stunned.
"No, some of the money was processed on the coins used in the Han Dynasty. For example, the earliest money that appeared was the half-liang coin, the common currency of the Western Han Dynasty, with auspicious words and character patterns added, and some were specially cast.
, both categories can be called spending money. Except for a few government mints, most of the auspicious money is privately minted by the private sector. The design and production are more exquisite. The casting volume is the largest, the format is the most, the content is the richest, and it is widely circulated in the world.
The money is made of brass. It is written in regular script and is relatively neat and standard." Luo Tian said while looking at Inoue Mei's expression and the way her brows relaxed, Luo Tian guessed that she understood.
Inoue Mei pointed to her own one and asked: "What dynasty does my one belong to?"
There has been progress, at least he knows the value from the dynasty. Luo Tian spread his hands regretfully: "Unfortunately, yours is a Jiaqing Tongbao from the Qing Dynasty. There are more of them. Generally, if there are more quantities on the market, the value will be greatly reduced. Jiaqing Tongbao
Cast in the Jiaqing period of Renzong in the Qing Dynasty, the diameter of the coin is 2.2-2.6 cm, and the weight is 2-4 grams. The auspicious words on the back are such as: Long live the emperor, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, wealth is made every day, long live Jiaqing, only harmony, such as
Sold three times, congratulations from all over, five generations living under one roof, etc., there are as many as 20 kinds. The auspicious text on yours is - Guotai Minan."
Luo Tian turned over the money and showed it to Inoue Mei. Inoue Mei nodded: "Yes, the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
This one is only worth a thousand yuan at most. Thinking that the painting just now was a big advantage, Luo Zai said: "This one, I still pay 10,000 yuan, how about it?"
"Then it's 2.02 million together?" Inoue Mei said, "Okay, let's seal the deal quickly." She was very anxious.
Luo Tian nodded: "Wait a moment." He took out the cash check and wrote the amount: "You can cash it at the designated bank."
Inoue Mei did not stay long. She stood up immediately. Luo Tian was still concerned about her: "Miss Inoue, what are your plans next?" She would definitely not go back. Going back would be a dead end. Walking on the street, pointing
Maybe she would be hacked to death. Inoue Mei suddenly gained confidence. Perhaps it was the cash check in her hand that gave her the power: "I will not let my life fail easily. The next time we meet, it should be my comeback."
At that time, Luo Tian, thank you!"
Luo Tian was speechless. He never thought that he would meet Inoue Mei again in this way. This woman was comparable to a legend. Watching her go, Luo Tian sighed and sat back down.
After studying the painting, he realized that the painting really had to be sent for auction. If it was placed in an antique shop, no one would recognize the goods. He was about to make a call when his cell phone rang. It was Xie Ming. Could this be a telepathic connection?
"Hey, Brother Xie, are you looking for me? I was just looking for you? Okay, you say it first." Luo Tian looked at the silk painting in his hand and thought about Xie Ming's expression for a while. "Dividends? Are you getting points so quickly?"
Luo Tian was a little surprised: "Well, of course you can take it if you have the money. I'll come over right away and let you see a painting. What painting? Don't worry, you'll know after you see it."
Luo Tian put the painting away, then went downstairs with the money and the gourd painting, and subconsciously called out: "Ding Cheng!" There was no response. Luo Tiantian thought that Ding Cheng had asked for leave, and then suddenly thought that he had not had time.
I went to see Mr. Ding, secretly cursing myself for being careless, but this Inoue Mei suddenly came to visit, making me almost forget about such an important matter.
Lao Zhang came closer and said, "Boss, Ding Cheng is not here. His grandfather is ill."
"I understand, Lao Zhang, come here, let me show you two things, and tell A Yi later." Luo Tian explained to Lao Zhang the relationship between gourd paintings and spending money, and asked him to wait in the store.
When he met someone, he took the painting out and decided to go to the auction company first and then to the hospital.
