From the luster to the enamel to the pattern, it was really amazing. In the end, the young man was so dizzy that he bought this piece of porcelain that looked like a modern imitation at a "cheap" price of 5,000 yuan. Look.
With such a happy look on his face, he thought he was getting a big advantage.?
Therefore, if you don’t have that kind of vision, it’s better not to join the great cause of antique collecting, otherwise you will be deceived and will have to ask for trouble.
In front of a stall, Han Kongque stopped. There were a lot of things on this stall. Several calligraphy and paintings among them attracted Han Kongque's attention. Han Kongque, who likes to study history very much, has a literati elegance in his heart.
, I have always had an inexplicable interest in the traditional art of calligraphy and painting.
It turned out that he was not educated enough and did not dare to get involved in the collection of calligraphy and paintings. But now, Han Kongque thought that he knew enough, so he also wanted to collect some calligraphy and paintings. You know, the least of his collections were ancient paintings.
calligraphy and painting.
Among these paintings and calligraphy, there is a picture of lotus dyed with ink and wash, which is very simple and unique, exuding a long-lasting ancient charm.
It’s not that Han Kongque thinks this is an ancient painting. These vendors are very smart. If it were an ancient relic, they wouldn’t sell it here long ago. Besides, people come and go every day, so it’s not Han Kongque’s turn to pick up the missing pieces here.
no.
What caught Han Kongque's attention was just the artistic characteristics of this painting. With just a few simple strokes, he outlined the grace and artistic conception of the lotus emerging from the mud but not stained. This shows that the person who painted the painting must be a master of painting, otherwise it would not be possible.
would have such power.
"Why, this young man is very interested in this ancient painting?" The shrewd vendor turned his slightly yellow eyes and looked at Han Peacock to see how much purchasing power he had.
In the recent period, although Han Kongque's clothes are still so unscrupulous, his clothes now are all finely crafted and high-end goods, so even if he is dressed casually, anyone with a bit of discernment can tell that they are expensive.
.
So before Han Kongque could answer, the vendor spoke again: "This painting is the work of the famous Xu Wei. Do you know who Xu Wei is? He was an influential calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty, and his works are very collectible.
.
Little brother, if you are really interested, I will give you five thousand yuan for a cheaper price. It turns out that brother is a man who knows how to paint. He gave the sword to the hero. If this painting fell into the hands of brother, it would not be considered an insult.
.”
The vendor looked at Liu Xu standing next to Han Kongque. He felt that Han Kongque would not lose face and be reluctant to spend five thousand yuan. However, he was obviously wrong. Han Kongque was noncommittal, while Liu Xu stood aside and watched.
not talking.
Although this painting is good, it is definitely not a work by a famous artist. Such an unsigned painting is only worth a few hundred yuan at most. Han Peacock is not willing to spend 5,000 yuan to buy a painting that he does not know is authentic, so the stall
The Lord thought they were the ones who were taken advantage of, but he really found the wrong person.
At this time, Liu Xu smiled slightly: "Since it is such a precious painting, I think you should keep it at home and keep it as a family heirloom. This is a priceless ancient painting, and it can be sold to anyone casually.
Those who know how to do it will be enough for you to have food and drink for a lifetime."
Han Kongque laughed when he heard it, and he also smiled and said: "At first glance, this painting is the work of a modern master. If it has been left for three to five hundred years, it must be a real antique."
"Little brother, look at what you said. Isn't this just a casual meal? There is no justice in business. What are you looking for? Brother, I will give you a 20% discount." Well, this guy is really a familiar person.
, even when Han Kongque said he was cheating, he didn't blush at all, but became brothers with Han Kongque.
Han Peacock feels very interesting, which is also the fun of Taobao. The vendors in the Antique Street Ghost Market are very mobile, so even though Han Peacock is very famous here, those who have really seen him are those who set up stalls here during the day.
Old street vendors, and few people like these who hang out in ghost markets know Han Peacock.
If he knew Han Kongque and knew that Han Kongque was interested in his things, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so unsure of himself.
Han Kongque felt that this person was a wonderful person and was very interesting. He stopped talking and picked up the painting and looked at it carefully. After all, it was rare to see a lotus painting with such a superb painter.
Liuxu, who was bored on the side, took a bronze dagger and looked at it. If it were the original, Liuxu would definitely not show his love for this kind of weapon in front of Han Peacock, but now, it doesn't matter.
She is a soldier and naturally has a special interest in weapons such as swords.
Although it was a bit strange for a beautiful woman to like daggers, when he saw the catkins looking at them seriously, the stall owner quickly said: "This is a great thing. I've heard of "Tu Qiong Dagger Jian'", that's what I'm talking about...
..”
Liuxu couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud. This stall owner's ability to deceive people was a bit too unreliable. Just now it was Xu Wei's painting, and now it's Jing Ke's dagger to stab Qin. This is even for a layman,
You can also tell it's fake.
Naturally, Han Kongque saw the hawker's performance, so he put down the painting and wanted to see what Liuxu found. After all, Liuxu was no longer a rookie, so what she was interested in was certainly of some value.
However, Han Kongque knew that he wanted to hide as soon as he saw the catkin's appearance. When he saw the catkin's behavior from the vendor, he felt funny in his heart. Without paying attention, the dagger in his hand touched his little finger.
Although the dagger seemed to be old and stained with rust, it was sharpened and blood immediately flowed out from the wound.
Although it didn't hurt, the catkins still trembled involuntarily. This was really joyful and sad. She didn't notice that a drop of blood rolled down her fingers with that tremor, and happened to drip on the painting that the stall owner called Xu Wei's painting.
On the painting "Ink Lotus Picture".
Liuxu suddenly fell into a trance, and a clear pool of water appeared in front of her eyes. In the center of the water stood a white lotus. The flower was as big as a plate, and there were lotus leaves in fields. Some were floating on the water, and some stood on the blue waves, as if they were props.
A handful of small green umbrellas were opened, and a few golden scales were swimming leisurely in the water...
This scene is very similar to the so-called Xu Wei's work. When Mo Fei was in a daze, a call came from his ears: "Honey, are you okay?"
Seeing Han Kongque's anxious look, Liu Xu felt warm in her heart: "It's okay, I didn't expect a bronze dagger to be so sharp even now."
"Little girl, little girl, are you okay?" The vendor's cry made Liu Xu's eyes shift from Han Peacock to the side.
When Liuxu came back to her senses, she found that she was still squatting in front of the stall. The stall owner looked at her with concern, but the pond, lotus and fish in front of her had disappeared without a trace.
What's going on? Was it just my imagination?
Looking at the "Molian Lotus Picture", Liu Xu felt suspicious. Seeing that Han Kongque was about to speak, she immediately gave him a subtle hint. Han Kongque immediately stood beside him and stopped talking.
When you have doubts, you have to find ways to solve them. Liuxu, who is well versed in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, made a temporary decision to buy this painting.
"Boss, isn't this antique too sharp? Don't tell me that this is the Longquan Sword. It can still be as sharp as ever after being stored for thousands of years. Judging from the rust on it, it shouldn't be so sharp." Liuxu waved his hand, not even a hint of sharpness.
Ignoring the injury, the vendor felt relieved.
Nowadays, whenever something happens to people, they just want to use money to solve it. The hawker is really afraid that Liuxu will be injured and ask him to make compensation.
Now that Liuxu didn't care, the hawker's mind became active: "This is really a treasure. If it wasn't like this, how could it still be so sharp now? So even if the dagger is rusty, it is still so sharp. This is enough to show that
This is a treasure."
Liu Xu smiled and said: "The things you have here are all treasures? Well, you can keep this dagger!"
"Little girl, this is a bit unreasonable of you. Look, you have ruined my painting." At this time, the vendor pointed at the blood stains scattered on the lotus painting.
Liu Xu glanced at it, her expression was dazed again, she thought for a moment and said: "Then I will buy this painting, but the price is not what you said, you know, your dagger even hurt me!"
Liuxu didn't want people to know how special this painting was, so she couldn't just give it to the vendor as much as he asked for it.
After some intense bargaining, the "ancient painting" that the boss thought could be sold for NT$5,000 was bought by LiuXu for NT$80.
Looking at the figures of Liu Xu and Han Peacock walking away from each other and about to merge into the crowd, the vendor murmured: "How cruel, I thought he was just a fool..."
A small vendor next to him witnessed the whole process and said with a sneer: "How about it, Xu Laosi, you have kicked the iron plate, let's see if you still call yourself a 'fooling expert' in the future."
"Why do I feel that those young people look familiar?" another vendor asked.
"Looks familiar? Could it be a stick? It doesn't look like it!" Xu Laosi said.
"It's not a rookie, it should be a celebrity. I don't remember unknown people."
"How is it possible? If he were really famous, he would spend 80 yuan to buy that new painting?" Xu Laosi didn't believe it.
Therefore, the stall owner known as Xu Laosi curled his lips, ignored him, and continued to deceive passers-by.
And all this is just a small episode on Antique Street, similar plots are being played out every day...
"What's wrong? This painting looks like a modern work no matter how you look at it, why are you interested?" Although Liuxu had just shown his love for collecting, Han Peacock knew that Liuxu was not an ordinary novice, and naturally he would not be ignored by the stall owner.
It's a lie, so Han Peacock feels strange.
Liu Xu smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was injured. If I hadn't been injured, I really wouldn't have seen this as a treasure. Of course, it's just my guess now. This may be a real treasure, but I can't confirm it yet.
We will study it carefully after we get home." (To be continued...)
