Chapter 122 As long as it is used in the right place, there will be no waste
At this time, there are quite a few families in rural areas who have precious antiques.
Especially the suburbs near Forty-Nine City or the surrounding countryside have experienced the precipitation of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
When dynasties change and war breaks out, valuables can easily flow into the homes of people near the imperial city.
Therefore, one or two antiques can be found in almost every village.
And now it is the autumn of 1962, and there are still a few years to collect.
Originally, Lin Zhen had no plans in this regard. After all, he had collected too many old things and was worried about being reported.
Xu Damao actually brought a surprise tonight.
Lin Zhen's heart suddenly moved.
Xu Damao seems to be the best person to collect antiques for himself. When it comes to reporting, he can only report to others.
Moreover, it can be said that it is a piece of cake for him to go to the countryside to show movies frequently.
Just keep a low profile.
Lin Zhen called Xu Damao into the room.
He took out a dollar and said, "Da Mao, I like this thing very much. If you encounter it again in the future, whether it's porcelain or anything else, as long as it's not too big, take it if you can. Remember, it must be old."
Xu Damao took the money and said with a smile: "What a big deal, if you told me you like antiques earlier, I would bring you some every time I go to the countryside to play movies."
Lin Zhen said: "But you can't insist on asking."
"Don't worry, I'll give you the money!"
"Don't give too much, just do it naturally and treat it as if it's for your own enjoyment. Don't let anyone notice that you are specifically collecting this."
Xu Damao asked in surprise: "Why is this?"
Lin Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Your job is to show movies. If you specialize in collecting antiques, that's not doing your job properly. Do you understand?"
Xu Damao suddenly realized: "It is true that if Chief Sun of the Propaganda Department finds out, my job will not be saved."
Lin Zhen nodded, "In short, if you don't meet someone, just get him. You are not allowed to inquire specifically, you are not allowed to purchase at a high price, and you are not allowed to let the seller know that you are specialized in doing this."
Xu Damao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Understood, I am good at this. I promise to bring you the things as if it were just a walk and chat."
"Well, don't accept whatever you see. Only pick up what you think looks good. Remember, you can only accept two items at most every month. It won't work if you take more. If there are too many, I'll panic. Let's just say this first. Okay.
Damn, I value you very much!"
The words "I value you very much" made Xu Damao feel happy.
He didn't know Lin Zhen's layout.
I don’t know what will happen in a few years. I think Lin Zhen is just afraid of being said that he loves to have fun and not work.
Lin Zhen's explanation to him was naturally hidden deep in his heart, and he didn't even tell Qin Jingru.
After Xu Damao left, Lin Zhen placed the brush washer from the Song Dynasty Ru kiln on the table and looked at it carefully.
Lou Xiao'e came over to take a look.
He suddenly took a breath of cold air, "Lin Zhen, is this the brush washer from Ru Kiln?"
Lin Zhen smiled and asked: "Do you know me?"
Lou Xiao'e nodded and whispered: "You forgot, when our parents left, they took away a small Ru kiln wine glass. They loved it like a treasure. Our dad often said that even if we have a huge family fortune, it is not worth it to you."
A piece of porcelain."
Lin Zhen laughed softly and said: "Xu Damao bought this from the countryside for two cents. He said it was given to me for writing calligraphy."
Lou Xiao'e was a little worried and said: "If you ask him to help you collect antiques, will there be any bad effects? What if when the time comes as you said, he will betray you and report you again?"
Lin Zhen said with a smile: "The day his mental illness is not good, the day he will not rebel. Even if he recovers, he will not report it, because I gave him money and I have dragged him into the water. This matter can only
He is suitable for the job, there is no other way, just try to collect as much as possible."
"What about this pen washer?"
"Of course, put it away. Nothing Xu Damao takes back can be exposed."
"Well, I know, the children have to be taken care of as well."
Lin Zhen sighed: "Yes, you have to keep a low profile."
I was thinking that I would have to wait until the 1980s to show off my skills.
No matter whether it is the tycoon in the business world or the sensational scientists, now is not the time. At most, it is just a small matter to propose some small product research and development.
It's no use trying to persuade anyone.
Now is the time for my wife and children to enjoy life together.
…………
A few nights later.
Xu Damao came to the door with a smile again.
"Lin Gong, you must like this thing. Although I don't understand it, I know the calligraphy. Look, the calligraphy of this man named Wang Shouren is similar to the couplet you wrote last year. It is very beautiful."
Lin Zhen is drinking water.
When I heard the words Wang Shouren, I almost choked on my water.
"Cough~cough...who, who?"
"Wang Shouren, look, what is written here is about the unity of knowledge and action... and what is known but not done? Conscience, uh... nothing... nothing can be done..."
Lin Zhen quickly took it.
Upon closer inspection, it was a piece of yellowed paper half a foot wide and more than two feet long.
There are also several seals stamped on it.
Judging from the color of the paper and pen and ink, it is definitely an old item.
Lin Zhen used his calligraphy skills to carefully copy each character.
I discovered that every word contains a free and easy power that travels between heaven and earth.
It is certain that this scroll was written by a person who understood the laws of the movement of heaven and earth and in a calm and leisurely state.
It is definitely not a copy by ordinary people.
This kind of calligraphy is different from the calligraphy that you rely on the system to reach the top level.
This kind of calligraphy has incomplete beauty, is more natural and casual.
Lin Zhen nodded repeatedly in admiration.
It is certain that this is Wang Yangming's authentic work.
Although the length is not as large as "Ruoye River Farewell to a Friend's Poems", it is still precious enough.
"Da Mao, where did you get this?"
Xu Damao said proudly: "I went to Southwest Township to play a movie this afternoon. I chatted with the village chief and talked about writing calligraphy. I thought I could get a penholder and pen wash or something, but the village chief said that there was a person living in the east end.
I am an old man. I have a piece of calligraphy stamped with many stamps at home. Let me see if I recognize it."
"Then what?"
"Then I couldn't understand whether it was true or false, but I thought the writing was beautiful, so I will come back."
"how much did you spend?"
"I didn't spend a penny. During the movie, I chose a good seat for the old man, oh no, for the old man."
"Next time you go to Southwest Township, remember to take care of that old man. In the future, when you encounter widowers and widowers living alone, you can't take them so directly, you know?"
Xu Damao laughed and said: "Hey! You don't know, this old man is interesting. I was going to give him money, but he said that as long as he takes it home without tearing it up or burning it and putting it away, he will be happier than giving him money. He has no children.
I have no daughter, no wife, no brothers and sisters. Even if I don't give it to me, if I die in a few years, I won't be able to keep my wife. If I say that my wife has gone to the city, he will feel more at ease."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly, thinking that this old man was a man of great enlightenment.
It's a pity that it's not convenient for me to go there to meet him, so I can only feel grateful in my heart.
"Okay Damao, that's it for this month. Don't accept it. We'll accept it when we meet next month."
After saying this, she asked Lou Xiao'e to give Xu Damao a dollar.
And told him some basic methods of identifying antiques.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
It's late autumn season.
Xu Damao collected two more things for Lin Zhen.
A wine pot from Ge kiln in the Song Dynasty, with gold and iron wires, is a treasure.
A blue and white dragon-pattern plate from an official kiln in the Ming Dynasty is tentatively speculated to be from the Yongle period.
