"I said, grandpa, you have earned such a big fortune for our family, and you are all relying on one mouth to deceive you. Your ability to tell lies is too great, right?" Li Qing'er is a tough girl at first, and she doesn't know how to tell lies. I don’t know what euphemism is.
Li Hanlin was not dissatisfied at all, but rather complacent, "The object is still the same object. Put another way, buyers can accept it better, and sellers can better withdraw funds. Why not?
"I didn't say that this Tianzi jar was made in the Ming Dynasty, nor did I say it was made in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. I just told the truth. Who can prove that my words are false?"
Li Qing'er and Shen Yu looked at each other and read three words in each other's eyes: Good guy.
Shen Yu poured a cup of hot tea for Li Hanlin, "Uncle Li, based on your experience, what is the current market value of this Tianzi can?"
Li Hanlin picked up the tea cup and thought for a while, "I remember that last year I participated in a special auction of official kiln porcelain from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty organized by Gaogu Auction. Among them, a doucai dragon-patterned lid jar from Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty sold for 5.2 million. Price.
"This jar shouldn't be lower than that price, but it's impossible to put it up for auction. It can only be sold to a collector who likes it, so let's give it a 40% discount, 3 million."
"Well, Uncle Li, you also know that I am very short of money now. I still owe Uncle Baoyuxuan one million and the Gu family nearly three million, so I want you to help find out if any of your clients or old friends are If you don’t like this kind of lottery, let’s not use three million. If you discount it in half, one and a half million will be fine.” Shen Yu asked seriously.
Li Qing'er sat down next to Shen Yu in a very ladylike manner and smiled at him, "Qinan, you are so stupid. There is a ready-made buyer sitting next to you, why do you need to find someone else? Isn't it grandpa? You are all He said that this jar is good, why don’t you just buy it and it will save Shen Yu from traveling all over the place?"
Li Hanlin slapped his thigh and feigned anger: "Xiaoqing, you silly girl, Shen Yu is not your boyfriend yet, why are you turning your elbows outward? This is not a few hundred yuan, but several million!"
Li Qing'er glanced sideways at Shen Yu, her face flushed instantly, "Grandpa, didn't you just say that this porcelain jar could be sold for three million? Qinan said that one and a half million is enough, and you still make one hundred. Five hundred thousand, where can you find such a good thing?"
"Okay, then I'll buy it for three million." Li Hanlin said something that surprised both Shen Yu and Li Qing'er.
Shen Yu put away his smile and said solemnly: "Uncle Li, you don't have to be like this. What I mean is, if you have such a customer, introduce it to me. If you don't have one, it doesn't matter. How can I make you spend money?" What about buying it at a high price?
"You're so kind to me, but I'm here to earn your money. It's not fun to spend it!"
Li Hanlin waved his hand, "I have always liked the Doucai porcelain from the Yongzheng official kiln. To be honest, if you want to buy Doucai porcelain of this quality now, unless it is a special auction for top-level porcelain, it will be difficult to buy it at an ordinary auction. I came across a suitable jar with such a good preservation. How could I miss it since I came across it?"
Shen Yu wanted to speak again, but Li Hanlin was one step ahead of him, "You said the jar cost 150,000, so didn't this painting cost 500,000? Tell me which famous artist it was by?"
It was obvious that Li Hanlin believed in Shen Yu's vision. He directly asked which famous artist it was, rather than which painter it was from. Although there was only one word difference between the famous artist and the painter, the price of the works was vastly different.
"It's a landscape painting by Dong Bangda from the Qing Dynasty." Shen Yu tidied the coffee table, wiped it with a clean rag, and then slowly unfolded the painting.
Li Hanlin took his reading glasses from his spectacle case and put them on, and then calmly began to observe the paintings, "Dong Bangda is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially landscape painting, and he has learned the techniques of learning from the ancients.
"I not only learned from Dong Yuan Juran's master and apprentice in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also studied from the great idiot Taoist who was the leader of the four schools of Yuan Dynasty. I also have a deep study of Dong Qichang.
"So many people say that Dong Yuan, Dong Qichang, and Dong Bangda are all from the same origin.
"If I read this painting correctly, it should be a real mountain scene. There are mountains and cliffs, fishing and hunting on streams and bridges, the water color of Maocun, the clouds and mists are dark, the rocks are covered with hemp and chapped, and the colors are rich and ancient, which is quite worthy of Dong Yuan's method.
"If you look closely, you can see the mountain waterfall falling from the sky into the stream. The trees in the mountain are extremely lush and lush. The style of writing is a bit delicate and peaceful in the quaint rhyme. It is obvious that there is the shadow of Dong Qichang.
"This painting seems to have not reached the peak of Dong Bangda's painting career. It must have been done by him in his middle age. There is naturally still some gap between the thick and sparse brushwork used in his old age."
"Uncle Li, this painting has been passed down in an orderly manner and has a clear identification. If you come to appraise it, how much can you offer?" Shen Yu continued to ask for the price. Li Hanlin has the pricing information of high-end antiques. Now that he has encountered it, how can Shen Yu do it? Don’t ask.
Li Hanlin thought for a while: "This painting is a rare gift from Dong Bangda to a friend. Overall, the value should be around three million.
"In this case, it is impossible for your shop to have customers who can buy such precious calligraphy and paintings. Well, didn't I call you five million this morning? You just took another five hundred thousand in cash. This Tianzi jar is the same as I’ll keep the Mu Gui Tu, and you don’t have to pay me back the money.”
Shen Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this be done? This painting of Returning at Dusk may be sold for three million. Even if it cannot be sold now, it will take a few years, but it will definitely be sold in more than ten years.
"But I don't have any confidence in this colorful Tianzi jar. If you spend three million to buy this jar, wouldn't I be like a wolf with nothing? I made nearly five million in one day even with porcelain tapes and paintings. No, no. Of!"
Li Hanlin glared, "I'm so tired at such a young age. I say it's done. It's not worth the price. How can I say it's worth it? Let's go, let's go try on clothes on the third floor. Don't affect my appreciation of these two pieces." Antiques."
"Qinan, let's go upstairs with me!" Li Qing'er stretched out her slender hand to pick up Shen Yu and walked towards the wooden stairs.
"Wait a minute, I have to say a few words to Uncle Li." Shen Yu wanted to pull his hand away, but was pulled hard by Li Qing'er.

"Let's go. If grandpa says it's worth it, it's definitely worth it. I've spent my whole life squandering antiques and don't know more than you do? Let's go, let's go."
Li Hanlin looked at the two of them with a cold face as they went upstairs, and immediately changed his expression. He rolled up the painting happily, then picked up the hot tea on the coffee table and took a sip of it, looking very happy.< /p>
"Okay, Old Tang, don't make any fuss over there, bring me chess, let us two brothers kill each other."
"What will you do if you lose?" Old Tang asked without raising his head.
"Winning or losing, let Zuixianlou bring you four cold, four hot and eight specialty dishes, and then open the bottle of Chuzhou Daqu that I have treasured for 20 years, and let us have a few drinks at noon."
"Brother Lin, are you so anxious to marry off Xiao Qing? Most granddaughters are reluctant to get married early when they reach the age of marriage. Now that you are here, you wish your granddaughter would marry Xiao Shen tomorrow." Old Tang He took off his reading glasses, arranged the account books, abacus, writing brush, inkstone, etc. one by one, then took the chess pieces and chessboard on the counter and walked slowly towards the sofa.
"The more I watch Shen Yu, the more I like him. Originally, Mr. Shen and I had a master-disciple relationship. Mr. Shen also had this consideration when he didn't agree to their baby relatives when he was a child. If he accepts me as his apprentice, Shen Yu and Qing will The difference is only in seniority.
"But Mr. Shen was heartbroken about accepting a disciple because of something, and in the end he didn't let me perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Although I felt a lot of regret in my heart, for Qing'er and Shen Yu, they were no longer in the middle. chain lock.
"Let's put it this way, if Shen Yu really marries Qing'er, I can give him the shop in Hanlin Pavilion as a dowry! Of course, it depends on the fate of the two of them!"
