Chapter 338 The inkstone with eight layers of aperture
"Mr. Fang, thank you so much!"
Li Yang picked up the document, opened it and looked at it. The experts were not very optimistic about the technical appraisal, but it was indeed a very convincing method of appraisal. The technical appraisal was one-sided, but its authenticity was beyond doubt.
"It's just a little effort. I've also registered your ancient painting with the Cultural Relics Bureau for you. Such a national treasure must be passed down properly!"
Mr. Fang shook his head, looking at the ancient painting with some reluctance.
Calligraphy, calligraphy and painting are different from other antiques. It is not easy to preserve such things. They have strict requirements on environment, climate and other conditions. Therefore, the older the ancient paintings are, the less they are in existence.
This ancient painting has been preserved, and the jade pillow also played a big role. The jade pillow is very tightly sealed, and the characteristics of jade are warm and moist, which itself has the function of preserving things. If not for this, this painting would have been preserved for hundreds of years.
The ancient paintings may have turned into shreds of paper.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of it. Mr. Fang, I don't know the situation here or your repair costs. This is a check for two hundred thousand. Do you think it's enough?"
Li Yang nodded and took out a prepared cash check from his body. Mr. Fang helped him restore the ancient paintings. This work cannot be left to the old man in vain, but Li Yang didn't know how much he was paid. Feel free to ask when he came.
Now, for the restoration of valuable ancient paintings, 200,000 yuan is quite reliable.
Looking at the check handed over by Li Yang, Mr. Fang sighed, pushed Li Yang's hand back, shook his head and said: "I am satisfied to see this lost picture of Yonghui courtiers, don't mention the restoration cost anymore."
thing!"
"Mr. Fang, how can this be done? If it weren't for you, this ancient painting might have been destroyed in my hands. You must take the money!"
Li Yang shook his head vigorously and handed over the check. Money was a trivial matter to Li Yang, but his thoughts were more important. Mr. Fang could restore this ancient painting so well. In fact, Li Yang already owed him a huge debt.
of favor.
Hesitation flashed in Mr. Fang's eyes, and he shook his head: "Xiao Li, I won't ask for the money, but I have a request. I wonder if you are willing to agree to it?"
"You can tell me what you're doing, I'll be fine if I can do it!"
Li Yang nodded immediately, but there was doubt in his eyes. He didn't know what he could be asked for by Elder Fang. It seemed that he didn't have anything that Elder Fang needed. If he did, it was only this ancient painting.
"It's like this. I want to leave my seal of appreciation on this painting of yours. Can you think of it?" After hesitating again, Mr. Fang said slowly. When speaking, Mr. Fang seemed to be a little nervous.
nervous.
"Seal?" Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, you can keep it, not to mention one, it's no problem even ten!"
"Okay, okay, Xiao Li, thank you very much!"
Mr. Fang nodded excitedly, and a man next to him hurriedly entered the room and took out an ancient seal. Mr. Fang carefully printed it on the ancient painting, and then blew on the painting.
It is common for ancient paintings to be stamped with the seals of collectors or appreciators. Li Yang knows this. Many ancient paintings handed down from ancient times are densely stamped, especially the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who liked to do this kind of thing.
Already.
However, not everyone can add this kind of seal. Generally, only those who have had sex will leave their own seal to show that they have had such a treasure.
Mr. Fang is not a traitor. If he wants to leave a seal, he needs Li Yang's consent.
If this was just an ordinary ancient painting, Mr. Fang wouldn't be so nervous, but this 'Yonghui Courtiers Picture' is different. This is an ancient painting that can be called a top national treasure and has a history of nearly a thousand years. In the end
The important thing is that no one has left a seal on it. If Fang Laoruo seals it, it will be the first appreciation seal.
That's why Mr. Fang seemed so nervous, fearing that Li Yang would refuse this request in order to maintain the integrity of the ancient paintings.
"Haha, Xiao Li, thank you so much, old man. This is the best ancient painting I have left my seal on. Even a hundred years later, I can go underground and proudly tell my old friends!"
After stamping the seal, Mr. Fang seemed extremely happy. He was unwilling to accept any more money from Li Yang. In the end, Li Yang had no choice but to take it back first and think of ways to send the money over later.
Li Yang was also very excited. This ancient painting can be said to be completely different. Moreover, it has Mr. Fang’s seal and identification certificate, and it has been reported to the Cultural Relics Bureau. It can basically be recognized as authentic. The only difference is one time.
Opportunities for public appearances.
Speaking of which, this is the first real antique calligraphy and painting that Li Yang has kept. After all, the "Liao Zhai Happy Picture" at home has not been verified as authentic, so it doesn't count.
After chatting with Mr. Fang and the others for a while, I also got to know the two men Li Yang. One is Mr. Fang’s son Fang Zheng, and the other is Mr. Fang’s eldest disciple Yan Weiguo. Currently, this store is run by a partnership of two people.
.
Although Yan Weiguo is Mr. Fang's apprentice, he is no different from his son. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and was adopted and raised by Mr. Fang. He has been learning skills from Mr. Fang, and he is equivalent to a son.
Li Yang originally planned to chat for a while and then leave, but he didn't expect that the more he talked about Yan Weiguo, the more enthusiastic he became. Yan Weiguo studied ancient calligraphy and painting, but was very obsessed with ancient jade, and even invited Li Yang to visit his *** ancient jade.
.
Yan Weiguo has really bought a lot of ancient jade over the years, dozens of pieces in total. It is a pity that many of them paid tuition fees, and there are a few good pieces left.
Li Yang didn't point this out to him. Yan Weiguo was just a hobby, and he wasn't selling it to make money. As long as he liked it, he could just play with it. At least those things for which he paid tuition were made of real jade and had a certain degree of safety.
**value.
Li Yang waited until lunch before leaving Mr. Fang's place. The request for lunch was made by Mr. Fang. He had just done such a big favor for him, and Li Yang was really embarrassed to leave now.
By the time he left Fang Lao's shop, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Li Yang spent this morning at Fang Lao's place and learned a lot of new things.
Walking on Liulichang Cultural Street, Li Yang was very elegant at first. After just a few steps, Li Yang slipped into an antique shop.
Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon. It would be nice to go shopping in Liulichang. Maybe I can find some good treasures there.
After entering two antique shops in a row, Li Yang couldn't help but shook his head. There were genuine items in these two antique shops, but the prices were too high. There was only one thing that Li Yang liked, but the other party asked for a very high price.
The price was five times the original value, obviously he didn't want to sell it and keep it for fishing.
After visiting a few houses, Li Yang lost interest. He happened to walk to the door of Rongbaozhai and went directly into Rongbaozhai.
Li Yang didn't know that after he left, the owners of the antique shops were also very surprised. Li Yang looked so young and had such good eyesight. All the things he looked at were genuine.
The first floor of Rongbaozhai is very lively. Today is Saturday. There is another good activity here in Rongbaozhai today. There are many people picking things in various compartments on the first floor. Basically, there are more than a dozen people in each compartment.
There are many customers here. No wonder the antique shops outside seem so deserted. It is estimated that the most popular part of visiting Liulichang at this time is here.
Li Yang originally wanted to go to the second or third floor, but when he saw how lively the first floor was, he immediately changed his mind and followed the flow of people and started shopping on this floor.
Anyway, he had no destination in the first place. The first and second floors looked the same.
When he walked into Rongbaozhai, Li Yang remembered the moon shadow lamp that he had picked up here last time. The moon shadow lamp had been determined to be non-replicable. Li Yang also knew that the remnant piece from the Forbidden City no longer had its original effect.
It can also be said that Li Yang's piece is the only one left.
At least that's the case for now. I don't know if it will be possible to discover other moon shadow lanterns hidden among the people in the future, but this hope is slim.
The cubicle on the first floor is a little smaller than the one on the second floor, but not too small. It is more than enough for a dozen people to stand in it. The first cubicle that Li Yang entered was filled with all kinds of porcelain, and the things on the first floor
It seems that they are also divided according to various categories.
Most of these porcelains are from private kilns, mostly from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Li Yang seemed surprised at first, but he immediately understood when he thought of the things on the second floor. The prices of the items on the first floor are all less than 30,000, and he wants to see them here.
It is impossible to find exquisite products from official kilns. If you really see them, you will miss them.
Li Yang didn't show much interest in these porcelains and moved to another compartment.
While walking around on the first floor, Li Yang counted. There were a total of sixteen compartments on the first floor, and there were six of them selling porcelain. This shows how important porcelain is in the world of business.
Not long after, Li Yang entered a place specializing in selling the Four Treasures of the Study antiques.
Compared with porcelain, Li Yang is more interested in the Four Treasures of the Study at this time. Among Li Yang's various types of high-quality products, whether high-value or ordinary, the Four Treasures of the Study are the least. If there are similar ones, buy a few pieces.
You can just go back and put it up.
This thing doesn't need to be valuable, it just has to be meaningful.
After looking at a few Duan inkstones from the Republic of China, Li Yang shook his head slightly. It was not that these Duan inkstones were not good, but that Li Yang could not tell whether they were good or bad at all. In his eyes, these inkstones were very good.
He quietly activated his special ability, and the entire room was under Li Yang's special ability, shielding all the figures and counter buildings, leaving only the four treasures of the study floating under the three-dimensional screen.
Li Yang nodded silently. Under the three-dimensional screen, most things have multi-layer apertures, and there are several four- and five-layer apertures. There are also some single-layer apertures, but their internal structures are similar to these apertures.
The things are similar. These single-layer aperture things should be modern works of art. Some good things in modern times are of high value.
Everything was a light yellow aperture. Soon, a black and simple old-fashioned inkstone attracted Li Yang's attention. This inkstone had many apertures, eight in total. Such things are rare on the first floor.
