"There are countless things to say, so why not turn your back and go home!"
"I didn't expect that Lao Shen would have such a precious Ming Dynasty painted push-back picture here. It is a rare treasure. It is truly a rare treasure."
Lin Qingzhi, who is the president of the Dongjiang Collection Association, muttered in a standard Hong Kong language, with a look of unconcealable affection on his face.
Standing next to him were Mr. Wu and Mr. Yu. When they looked at each other, they both caught a hint of smile in each other's eyes.
"Ahem!"
Mr. Wu coughed lightly and said, "Old Lintou, I know you like to collect some ancient books on metaphysics, Feng Shui and numerology, but don't think about this Mingben painted push-back picture. How much does it cost Mr. Shen?" Not for sale.”
Lin Qingzhi frowned when he heard this, "Wu Sanniu, how do you know that Lao Shen won't sell it? Although this is a unique copy in a private collector, Lao Shen runs an antique shop. As long as he has enough money, why doesn't he sell it? "
Mr. Wu's name was Wu Ben, and he was called Wu Sanniu by Lin Qingzhi. Mr. Wu was not angry, but said with a smile: "This Ming Dynasty painted picture of push-back painting was not picked up by Lao Shen, it was made by him with real Gold and silver are exchanged for people.
“It can be said that I went through a lot of hardships in the middle.
"This picture is a family heirloom of an opera inheritor in Yuedong Province. It is said that his ancestor has collected this Tuibei Picture since the Jiajing period. It was not a fragment at that time, but later due to the war in the late Ming Dynasty, it was When the family went to live with relatives, they stayed at a Taoist temple, but a fire broke out. One-fifth of the Tuibei Tu was burned.
"However, even if one-fifth of it is lost, it is still an extremely precious rare ancient book. When Lao Shen found out, he immediately went to buy it. The price was as high as 9.5 million, but the other party would not sell it at all.
"After many inquiries, Lao Shen found out that the other party was an antique collector, so he decided to change his mind."
At this point, Mr. Wu suddenly stopped talking as if he was selling something off, and then slowly opened the thermos cup and drank some water.
While drinking water, he kept observing Shen Yu on the big screen in the back hall from the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Shen Yu was studying in detail the "Picture of Fishing in the Flower Stream" by Wang Meng, one of the four painters, his brows moved slightly involuntarily and he thought to himself, Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, you must not choose this painting.
Mr. Wu comes to Shen Xiyue's "Xuande Building" every now and then, so he knows a lot about the antiques in the store.
He had seen this "Picture of Fishing in Huaxi" more than once. It was a copy from the Ming Dynasty, and its value was completely inferior to that of porcelain.
You should know that in the porcelain section, there are unpriced Qianlong pastel bowls and Jiaqing official kiln blue and white gourd vases. Although they are remnants, each one is worth more than 7 million.
If Shen Yu had chosen this copy of "Picture of Fishing in the Huaxi River", he would definitely lose in this competition of eyesight.
However, this rather worrying thought only briefly appeared in my mind and then passed away.
Mr. Wu knew that Shen Yu would not be so reckless.
There is still a lot of time, and with Shen Yu's sharp eyesight, he dare not go through all the antiques in the store, but he should take a look at calligraphy, painting, porcelain, and ancient jade.
Moreover, whether it is a small Qianlong pastel bowl or a blue and white gourd vase from Jiaqing official kiln, they are placed in very hidden positions and cannot be easily discovered.
Others don't know the location of these two official kiln porcelains, but Mr. Wu knows that they are buried in a pile of junk.
The purpose of Xuande Furnace is not to let buyers pick up leaks, but to prevent buyers from saying that the store is full of junk.
If the other party deliberately makes things difficult, the store can immediately take it out to slap the other party in the face to ensure the reputation of the store.
Some people may have questions, what if someone with very good eyesight picks it out from the pile of porcelain?
The answer is that he still has to put it back.
Because there is no price tag!
If there is no price tag, the store can set the price at will.
Definitely can't buy it.
If you go to the jade area, there is also a mutton-fat white jade statue of Erlang Xuanzhenjun. Its value is over ten million, and there is still no price tag.
Mr. Wu's sudden silence made Lin Qingzhi extremely unhappy, "I say Wu Sanniu, you are about to reach the age of seventy, why are you still acting like a naughty boy and deliberately trying to tease people? Tell me, what is going on? What is going on, Mr. Shen?
What solution have you come up with?"
Mr. Wu was still drinking water, but the smile on his face showed that he did it on purpose.
However, Mr. Yu next to him suddenly said, "Is it possible that you are preparing to barter?"
Lin Qingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What Brother Yu said is absolutely true. Old Shen must have bartered for this thing. Three niu, what antique did Old Shen use in exchange for this Mingben push-back picture?"
Mr. Wu put down the water glass and said slowly: "It's a coincidence that the opera artist likes Xuande Lu very much.
"That's not right. He likes sandalwood very much, and is even a little obsessed with it. He burns incense when drinking tea, playing the piano, and practicing calligraphy.
"Even after waking up in the morning, you have to light a burner of sandalwood.
"The opera artist has collected a lot of precious sandalwood, but there is no incense burner that he is satisfied with!
"He really wanted a Xuande incense burner from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it was impossible to get one from the Xuande Dynasty, as long as it was a royal incense burner from before the mid-Ming Dynasty.
"As the so-called sleepy pillows come to us, Lao Shen may not have more collections than me, but he has no shortage of Xuanlu.
"He directly invited the opera artist to his home treasure room and asked him to choose among more than a hundred Ming Dynasty xuanlu.
"The ending is naturally a happy ending, because the fact that this push-back picture is hanging here means that the transaction was successful.
"As for whether Lao Shen exchanged one Xuanlu for this picture or several, it is unknown. Anyway, judging from the pain in his body, the price must not be small."
Lin Qingzhi's stern face suddenly smiled, "The greater the price, the greater my chances. Old Shen has been thinking about my "Water Margin Heroes" by Chen Laolian for a long time. If I barter with him,
If you don’t believe it, he won’t change it!
"Hey, I want to order this Mingben push-back picture."
Naturally, Shen Yu didn't know what was happening outside. His eyes were fixed directly on a piece of paper on the ground above the pole.
There is a line of small words on it. If there is no redundant words, there are only twelve words:
This painting is a forgery "hiding it from heaven".
Identification: Chongzhonglou.
"It was actually authenticated by my grandfather." Seeing the familiar handwriting, Shen Yu was surprised at first, and then felt some bitterness in his heart.
This was the first time Shen Yu saw the old man's handwriting in a place other than his home after his death.
Even though there were mixed feelings in his heart, Shen Yu knew that this was not the time to miss his grandfather, so he immediately calmed down and continued to look at the paintings.
"No wonder this painting is so difficult to tell whether it is genuine or not. It is actually a forgery of the Zangtian family."
"Zhidian" is a famous family in ancient times who forged ancient calligraphy and paintings.
It probably began to appear in the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and was passed down from generation to generation until it gradually disappeared from the scene until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
This family has very thorough research on the ancient paintings of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of their copied works.
They are not looking for money, they only take action when there is no money, and they will leave marks on trees, forests, springs, palaces and pavilions, and even flowers, birds, fish and insects.
This mark represents the branch of the family. For example, the Tianzihao that hides the sky will have the word "天" written on it.
The character Xuan will be written with the character Xuan.
For the word "hong", just write the character "hong".
The fonts are also different, some are regular script, some are official script, some are seal script, and some are thin gold script.
"Since this painting was appraised by someone else, Grandpa, it all makes sense. If Master Zhangyan in Xuande Tower had such a discerning eye, it would be difficult to pick it up today."
I scanned more than a dozen paintings and calligraphy, and without exception they were all unknown paintings from the Qing Dynasty. Most of their styles imitated the Four Monks and Four Kings of the Qing Dynasty, so it was impossible to find out what they were missing.
"Hey, why is there only half of this painting?"
After seeing a silk painting hanging in the corner, Shen Yu showed a hint of surprise on his face.
