"Brother Song, you and Brother Ma can come here to give me face. Brother Ma's gift is too expensive, so you can give me a gift of 200 yuan..."
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly. Fatty Ma was selling antiques worth several million. The objects Song Jun took out must not be too shabby. He accepted them a little softly. This was all a favor.
"That's nonsense, slap me in the face, right? 200 yuan, you kid can't say it..."
Song Jun was dumbfounded by Zhuang Rui's words. If he really took out 200 yuan as a gift, he would be too embarrassed to go out. Nowadays, if a small family has a wedding banquet, it will cost more than 200 yuan.
Song Jun really couldn't afford to lose that person.
"That's not what I meant, Brother Song..."
"Come on, don't worry, this thing belongs to you, just take it..."
Song Jun waved his hand to interrupt Zhuang Rui's words, and thrust the light brocade box in his hand into Zhuang Rui's hand. Zhuang Rui could only accept it with a wry smile.
"Is it the "Handbook of Xiangzu's Notes"? Brother Song, this...why is this so embarrassing?"
When he opened the brocade box and took a look, Zhuang Rui was stunned. This object really once belonged to Zhuang Rui. It was also the first treasure Zhuang Rui picked up in his life. He sold it to Song Jun for 380 yuan.
Ten thousand RMB is also the first pot of gold Zhuang Rui has earned in his life.
"I know this is your kid's first leak detection, so I asked it back from the old man and kept it for you as a souvenir..."
Song Jun is a collector, so he naturally knows that everyone will have a deep memory of the first object they collected after entering this circle, so he specially selected it and sent it back to Zhuang Rui.
Seeing this manual, Zhuang Rui felt a little sad. Although it was more than a year ago, the scene at that time, the old woman standing in front of Liu Chuan's store in the snow, seemed to be right in front of him.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will make it up to that old woman..." Zhuang Rui thought silently in his heart. It was precisely because of this manual that Zhuang Rui knew that aura could distinguish antiques, and thus entered this industry.
.
"Brother Song, thank you. I'll accept this..."
For Zhuang Rui, the commemorative significance of this manual is far greater than the value of the object itself. Coupled with Song Jun's affection, this gift is no longer as important as the "Guiju Mountain Bird Picture" given by Fatty Ma.
》Lighter.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. I'm counting on you for my old man's birthday gift. Just don't be unable to get it out by then..."
Song Jun relied on Zhuang Rui for this matter. Who allowed you to get good things and show them off everywhere?
Zhuang Rui didn't answer Song Jun's words and said with a playful smile: "Hey, Brother Song, why don't you return Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture" to me..."
"Go away, I still stole this manual... No, I didn't let the old man know how to get it out. Don't even think about that painting. Okay, old horse, let's go in and have tea. Don't be with this kid."
This is nonsense..."
Song Jun glanced at Zhuang Rui angrily. Under the leadership of Liu Chuan, he entered the middle courtyard. Today, not only Liu Chuan, but also Wei Wei and other classmates have become waiters, going to and from the middle courtyard in front of the door.
guest.
"We have guests arriving!"
The third child who was standing outside the door suddenly shouted in a rough voice. Zhuang Rui stretched his head and looked out, saw three people walking from the alley, and quickly ran down the steps to greet them.
"Uncle De, Teacher Sun, Teacher Jin, why are you all here together..."
Zhuang Rui greeted a few people, turned to Qin Xuanbing and said: "Xuanbing, this is my teacher Uncle De, and these are Teacher Jin and Teacher Sun, both seniors in the antiques industry..."
"Hello Uncle De, Hello Teacher Jin, Hello Teacher Sun, thank you all for coming to my engagement ceremony with Zhuang Rui..."
Qin Xuanbing followed Zhuang Rui and said hello to several people gracefully.
"Okay, okay, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, a match made in heaven..."
When Uncle De heard Zhuang Rui's teacher's words, his old face couldn't help but light up with joy. He had not taught Zhuang Rui in vain, and he gained twice as much face in front of several old friends.
"Uncle De, you guys go and have a rest first and have a sip of hot tea..."
Zhuang Rui knew that Uncle De and Sun Dasheng had a very good relationship, but he did not expect that several people would come together. He quickly called the third son over and asked him to take people into the middle courtyard for tea.
Fatty Jin waved his hand and interrupted Zhuang Rui's words, and said: "No hurry, Brother Zhuang, you are getting engaged today, and I want to join in the fun and bring you two objects. Let's take a look first..."
Only then did Zhuang Rui realize that several people were holding something in their hands, and he quickly said: "Teacher Jin, it's a huge honor for you to come. We don't care about this..."
Zhuang Rui said what he said sincerely. The people in front of him are all his teachers in the antique shop. It doesn't really matter whether this gift is a gift or not.
"Hey, the ancients said that the time of inscription on the gold medal list, the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, these are the great joys of life. It is right for us to bring something..."
Fatty Jin said with a smile. He held two long cardboard boxes in his hands. He first handed one box to Uncle De, then opened one of the scrolls and said, "Brother, this painting is
You once gave it to me for appraisal, and now the results are out. This portrait of Guan Gong was copied by Zhang Daqian in the 1920s and 1930s..."
"A painting written by Zhang Daqian?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. This small painting was one he took in the black market in Beijing last time. At that time, he saw that the aura inside was yellowing, and he thought it was copied by someone from the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it was actually painted by Zhang Daqian.
It's a handiwork, but think about it, some objects in modern collections also have yellow aura.
Zhang Daqian plays an important role in the history of modern Chinese painting, so Zhuang Rui also knows him very well.
It can be said that Zhang Daqian is a talented painter. His creations "embrace the strengths of all styles and the magnificence of both northern and southern styles."
Insects, animals, fine brushwork, everything is omnipotent, and everything is perfect.
Zhang Daqian's painting style in his early and middle age was mainly based on imitation of ancient times. He spent most of his life and effort, dating back from the Qing Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, studying their works one by one, from copying to imitation, and then to forgery.
.
Zhang Daqian's painting style before the age of 30 can be described as "fresh and elegant". At the age of 50, it progresses to "magnificent and majestic". After the age of 60, it reaches the realm of "blue, abyss and mu". After the age of 80, his temperament becomes pure, his brushwork is simple and his ink is light, and his originality
The splash-ink landscape is majestic and magnificent, integrating with the heaven and earth. It enhances the appeal of the artistic conception and the overall effect of the painting.
In the 1920s, Zhang Daqian and his brother Zhang Shanzi were known as the "two heroes in Sichuan" in the Chinese painting circle. In the 1930s, he was as famous as the great northern painter Pu Ru (Xin She) and was known as the leader of the Chinese painting circle.
"Nan Zhang Beipu" was appointed as an art professor at the National Central University. Xu Beihong once praised Zhang Daqian as "the first person in five hundred years".
Daqian Layman is also the person who has produced the most forged works among modern painters. The ancient paintings he forged can almost be fake. Sometimes, after their forgeries are identified, the price of his forged paintings is even higher than the paintings signed by him. This can be said to be...
A good story in the painting world.
"Yes, this painting was identified by the teacher. It is definitely the work of Daqian layman. He rarely imitated ancient figure paintings. His portraits are very expensive. Although this painting is not large in size, it is sold at auction.
If so, it will cost at least 1.5 million RMB, so you have made a huge mistake..."
Fatty Jin knew that Zhuang Rui bought this painting for 5,000 yuan, so he said this. Moreover, the market value of a painting that has been authenticated and stamped by a master will be higher.
"Thank you so much, sir. After I finish this work, I still have to listen to your teachings..."
Zhuang Rui really respected Fatty Jin's teacher from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that the painting he found would be authenticated by the master himself.
"Okay, this painting is yours. You can keep it and look at it later. I brought you a piece of calligraphy. It just so happened that it was also written by Daqian Layman. It fits the scene..."
Fatty Jin took out the painting "The Astronomer's Garden Guest" that he gave to Zhuang Rui.
"Teacher Jin, thank you. I'm really sorry for costing you money..."
Zhang Daqian's paintings are much more expensive than calligraphy. The current calligraphy works are about 30,000 yuan per square foot. This painting is less than two square feet, which is about 50,000 yuan. With the friendship between Jin Fatty and Zhuang Rui, this gift has already
It's quite heavy.
"This is nothing to me. Let's see what your teacher gave you. We asked him for a long time, but Mr. De just refused to tell me. It must be something good..."
Fatty Jin waved his hand and handed the thing to Viagra behind Zhuang Rui. Yang Wei knew that the thing was valuable, so he quickly sent it to the room in the middle courtyard. There was a table in the middle room of the middle courtyard, which was specially used to place gifts.
of.
"Well, you golden fat man, why don't you use Zhang Daqian's paintings to conquer my army?"
Uncle De smiled and pointed at Fatty Jin, and opened the box in his hand. There were two jade pendants inside, one in the shape of a dragon, and the other in the shape of a phoenix. The sword technique was exquisite, the jade texture was round, and the jade color was colorful. At a glance,
You can distinguish five or six colors at a glance, so there is no doubt that it is ancient jade.
"Uncle De, you can't do this. You have kept these two items for decades..."
When Zhuang Rui saw the object that Uncle De took out, he was immediately frightened. He waved his hands and refused. The value of this thing was secondary, but the key was that it was something that Uncle De had carried with him for decades. It was deeply loved by Uncle De.
Not to mention Zhuang Rui, even Fatty Jin and Sun Dasheng next to him took a deep breath when they saw these two jade pendants.
Ancient jade first looks at the quality of the jade, and then the color. The more colors, the more valuable it is. Most of the ancient jade at auctions now have three or four colors, and the auction prices are always high. Generally speaking, jade
The ones with slightly inferior quality are all over one million.
The two pieces of jade pendants that Uncle De took out were both carved from high-quality Hetian jade. They have a natural and round color. After being held in Uncle De's hands for decades, they have become extremely smooth and the patterns of dragons and phoenixes are lifelike.
In the palm of my hand, a dragon and a phoenix seemed to be about to leap out.
Although Zhuang Rui didn't know much about the market conditions of ancient jade, he also knew that the price of these two jade pendants would probably add up to more than ten million.
"Take it..."
Uncle De first took out the phoenix-shaped jade pendant from the box, handed it to Qin Xuanbing, and said: "Uncle De doesn't have anything to give you, so this thing is just right for the occasion. I wish you and your wife will sing together and fall in love with each other in the future. Well, soon."
Give birth to a big fat boy..."
"Uncle De, you should leave this to the younger generations..."
Zhuang Rui signaled Qin Xuanbing not to reach out to take it. He had seen Uncle De's collection in Zhonghai. These two jade pendants could be said to be the most precious. If Uncle De gave them to him, his descendants would inevitably be unhappy.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Uncle De immediately opened his eyes and said: "Where did you come from with all the nonsense? Are you not my junior? I can give my things to whomever I want. Don't be pretentious, kid."
Yes, just say that to you, "Teacher," and I will pay you for this..."
"Uncle De, don't be angry, why don't I accept it..."
Zhuang Rui was really angry when he saw Uncle De. He quickly nodded to Qin Xuanbing and motioned for her to take the jade pendant. However, Zhuang Rui still thought in his heart that he would find a chance to make up for Uncle De. It seems that this year Uncle De will
It's his sixty-sixth birthday, so he must find a good thing to send as a gift.
"Thank you Uncle De..."
After Qin Xuanbing took the jade pendant, she smiled sweetly at Uncle De.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Is there any way to take back the things Uncle De sent out..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing accept these two jade pendants, Uncle De's face showed a smile.
The reason why Fatty Jin gave Zhang Daqian's calligraphy was because Zhuang Rui had previously given his "girlfriend" a nice pearl chain. This was also a form of courtesy, and the relationship between Uncle De and Zhuang Rui was needless to say.
As for Sun Dasheng, he has a normal relationship with Zhuang Rui. This time he just brought an ordinary gift. After seeing the gifts from the other two, he didn't show it to show his shame and handed the gift to the man standing by the door.
Yang Wei.
"Uncle De, let me send you guys in..."
"No, no, just let someone else deliver it. You can work here..." Uncle De waved his hand repeatedly.
"It's okay, Uncle De, Teacher Jin, Teacher Sun, please..."
Zhuang Rui didn't let Viagra and others give it away this time. For an elder like Uncle De, he had to give it away by himself.
After entering the middle courtyard, Zhuang Rui found his mother and asked her to accompany Uncle De to drink tea and talk, and then returned to the entrance of the courtyard to work as a receptionist.
"Zhuang Rui, how much is that jade pendant worth? Is it expensive?"
After Zhuang Rui came back, Qin Xuanbing asked Zhuang Rui. Although she saw that the two jade pendants were of good quality, she was a little dissatisfied. Based on the quality of the two jade pendants, which should be around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, were they worthy of Zhuang Rui?
Why is Rui making such a fuss?
As Zhuang Rui spoke, he raised his finger at Qin Xuanbing and said, "They are very valuable. These are the two best objects in Uncle De's collection. Alas, this sentiment is too heavy..."
"100,000?" Qin Xuanbing asked. The price was similar to what she thought.
"100,000? 10 million, okay..."
Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes. He must have underestimated your man's vision. How can a 100,000 yuan item make him so nervous?
"It's really valuable..."
Qin Xuanbing stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. Although she came from a wealthy family, she rarely saw such expensive gifts. You know, those young people in Hong Kong only spend millions to support a star.
"We have guests..."
While Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing were talking, the third person standing outside the door shouted, but stopped before he could finish the sentence, because the person who came this time did not have a gift in his hand, and the third person was afraid that he was a resident in the alley.
, don’t call it wrong and it will look ugly.
"Hey, Nobita, monkey, you are here, over here..."
When Zhuang Rui saw the two people who were peeping in the alley, as well as the girl following them, he couldn't help but laugh and waved hello. The people who came were Nobita, Monkey and Xiaojing. Yesterday Zhuang Rui gave them
I called and told her the address, but I didn't say anything about my engagement.
Zhuang Rui was originally an out-and-out grassroots person. Although he later recognized his grandfather, it was only for more than half a year that he still had no idea of class distinction in his mind. Nobita and Monkey were both his friends.
Those who were called to Beijing by me, of course I had to call them when I was engaged.
"Brother Zhuang, we have been looking for a long time. It turns out you live here..."
Monkey and Nobita heard Zhuang Rui's voice and ran over quickly, but when they saw the door with lights and colorful decorations and the word "happy" hanging on it, they were dumbfounded.
"Brother Zhuang, are you... are you getting married? This... this..."
When the monkey saw the slightly exaggerated door of Zhuang Rui's house, and then saw the tall and beautiful Qin Xuanbing behind Zhuang Rui, his mouth that was originally open turned into a stutter, and he was actually speechless.
"What is this? It's not a marriage, it's an engagement. I asked you to come for the engagement drink. By the way, you two brothers took Xiao Jing in, and Dachuan was inside. Let Xiao Jing and Dachuan's wife stay together for a while. You two
Come out and help..."
Seeing the look of these two people, Zhuang Rui knew that Nobita and Monkey would probably be uncomfortable even if they were allowed to stay inside, so he might as well let them help together.
"Brother Zhuang, look... you didn't say anything, we didn't even bring a red envelope..."
While Nobita was talking, he was hurriedly trying to pay for the gift.
"Come on, we are all friends. Stop doing such nonsense. Send Xiaojing in quickly and come back to help..."
Zhuang Rui pulled Nobita and sent the three people through the door without telling them that he was getting engaged today, even if he didn't want them to pay.
"My dear, is this a place where people live?"
After entering the courtyard, the monkey looked at the blue bricks, red tiles, large bluestone floor, and the exquisite and elegant hanging flower door. It really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"What are you talking about? If you don't know how to speak, keep your mouth shut..."
Nobita patted the monkey's head from behind, and then said: "This is really not a place where people live, bah bah, no, this is not a place where ordinary people live..."
"Okay, you two, stop talking nonsense..."
Xiaojing, who was following behind, looked at her boyfriend and the monkey dumbfounded. Although she was also shocked by what she saw, the girl was relatively calm. From the grandeur of Zhuang Rui's house, it can be seen that Zhuang Rui
Given the level of people Rui was dating, she didn't want her boyfriend to be embarrassed if he got in.
After entering the middle courtyard, several people were dazzled by the rockery pavilion. It was just like in a Qing palace drama. Nobita and Monkey were secretly happy. It seemed that they had followed Zhuang Rui to Beijing.
The most right thing I have ever done in my life.
"Hey, Nobita, Monkey, you guys are here too, come over here..."
Liu Chuan, who was talking with Song Jun, saw Nobita and the others and said hello quickly. Liu Chuan himself was an acquaintance of all religions, but he did not look down on Monkey and the others. It was always a pleasure to meet fellow countrymen in Beijing.
matter.
"Brother Liu, I'm looking for you. By the way, this is my wife. Brother Zhuang said to let her stay here for a while, and we brothers will go out to help..."
After Nobita walked over, he discovered that the person sitting next to Liu Chuan was actually Song Jun. Although Song Jun didn't know the two of them, they knew Song Jun. They knew that this was a man with hands and eyes that covered the sky, and they felt a little bit worried.
He was cautious and prepared to go out after introducing Xiaojing to Liu Chuan.
"Okay, let's go to my wife's place..."
Because there were so many people here today, all the six main rooms in the middle courtyard were set aside to greet the guests. Elders like Uncle De were personally accompanied by Ouyang Wan. As for Song Jun and others, they were ordinary people like Ouyang Jun.
Someone came to accompany me, and the other women stayed in the side room chatting.
Liu Chuan had been lazy here for a long time, and then he stood up, took Xiaojing to the side room, introduced him to Lei Lei, and then followed Nobita and the two back to the entrance of the courtyard.
It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and more and more guests were coming. Some people Zhuang Rui knew, like Bai Feng, host Liu Da, and Li Jia, who had collaborated on the CCTV treasure appraisal program, were also here.
But the host of Zhuang Rui's engagement ceremony this time.
Speaking of Li Jia being the host, Li Jia recommended himself when Zhuang Rui called him that day. He knew that Zhuang Rui had a profound background, and it would definitely be good for him to have a good relationship with such a person.
Zheng Hua and the Bai brothers and sisters from Hong Kong also rushed over. Along with them, there were several young people Zhuang Rui had met in Hong Kong, all of whom gave them valuable gifts. As for Hu Rong, that was
As the woman's family, we have come to the courtyard a long time ago.
In addition, Yang Bo, a famous young man in the capital, didn't know where he got the news. He also found it on the door. As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest. Zhuang Rui also invited him in. There are many people in their group.
Spend at Qin Ruilin.
"Miao...Feifei...Officer, you are here too..."
When Zhuang Ruizheng and Qin Xuanbing lowered their heads and whispered at the door, suddenly a beautiful figure appeared in front of them.
