We are low-educated and don’t know much about calligraphy and painting, but I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run away. Whether something is good or bad cannot escape my eyes.
Douyazai was a little excited and asked: "Fengzi, who drew this? Didn't you say it was a picture of a sparrow? Where is this sparrow?"
Huh.....
Dou Sprout asked me about it. I didn't see a sparrow either. I only saw a pine tree in the painting.
I immediately turned around and asked: "Grandma, the picture handed down from your family is not a picture of a sparrow, but a picture of a pine tree, right?"
The old lady said expressionlessly: "Look carefully."
I looked at the light again and looked at it carefully.
Damn, I saw a sparrow.
Just one!
It’s hidden on the trunk of the pine tree in the painting! It’s not big, so you won’t be able to find it unless you look carefully!
This little sparrow is painted very vividly, with some characteristics of meticulous painting. The key point is that the sparrow's head is looking to the right.
There is a calligraphy in the calligraphy and painting shop: a sparrow with its head turned to the left is worth a hundred, and a sparrow with its head turned to the right is worth a thousand.
This means that all sparrows in ancient paintings with their heads looking to the right are ten times more valuable than those looking to the left.
It turns out that although this painting has many stamps, it is signed by the deceased painter. After my identification, this scroll painting should be the "Anonymous Bird Picture" from the Southern Song Dynasty. It was re-framed in the Qing Dynasty.
The tree in the painting is bare and has no leaves, which means it is winter, so the sparrow is more appropriately called Hanque.
"Anonymous" means an unknown painter. There used to be many such paintings in the Qing Dynasty. There are only a handful of Southern Song Dynasty silk paintings in existence. It can be said that each piece is priceless, not to mention that it is stamped with the private seals of so many collectors from past dynasties.
The old lady asked: "How's it going? You guys have an eye on it."
"Well, take a look, the stuff is really good. Grandma, that jade cabbage and silver pension brand from your Bao family? If possible, I hope you can sell it to me together."
I heard the old lady say expressionlessly: "During the famine years, my father had sold the pension card for money. The jade cabbage is still there, but don't think about it. I agreed to sell this painting just for the sake of it."
Raise money to save my little granddaughter."
I immediately and respectfully said yes, I understand grandma. (I’ll talk about it after I get one.)
"Okay, since you have seen the things, when will you give me the money?"
I checked the time and said that I would be able to get the money together at noon tomorrow, and we would pay and deliver the goods at that time.
The old lady said nothing and nodded with a dark face.
...
An hour later, we left Guozhuang on the dirt road.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Douyazai said excitedly: "Brother Feng, you are so awesome! This time we are going to make a fortune again!"
I smiled and said, "Is the little girl okay?"
"It's okay, it's fine! You don't know, but that little girl likes Xiaoxuan!"
"It's okay. Just tell Xiaoxuan when you get back and take good care of her and don't let her run around in the mountains."
Dou Sprout nodded and said don't worry.
I sent the bean sprouts back first, and then returned to the county town. I called Wenwen and asked to meet downstairs.
"Ah? Brother Xiang, you want to withdraw money? But your financial management has only been purchased for two days!"
"Well, I need it urgently. I need 800,000 in cash. You can give it to me tomorrow morning."
Wenwen immediately wondered: "Brother Xiang, you need to make an appointment. We usually don't put that much cash in our bank. Besides, if you withdraw money now, you will lose your principal!"
"How much is the loss?"
"The loss was about 4%, about 100,000 yuan."
"So much! That's alright, I'll borrow someone else's first." (Since this time, I have never deposited my money on a regular basis, nor have I bought any financial products. They are all deceptive things.)
"Wenwen, please help me with the cash. I have to get it tomorrow morning."
Wenwen gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, and said okay Brother Xiang, I will find a way to help you solve it.
The things are in place and the money is about to be in place.
All it takes is the final touch and I can make a fortune.
