Among the two paintings, one is just a landscape painting. Although it is also a masterpiece, it is still not as good as the latter one. Because the remaining one is really remarkable. It is an authentic work by Qiu Ying, one of the four masters of the Ming Dynasty. It is 60 meters wide
The scroll, which is 155 centimeters long, mainly shows two middle-aged figures playing the piano and chatting and laughing next to the pine forest, pond and willows. There are maids waiting beside them. The figures are accurate and vivid, with similar appearance and spirit, and are quite interesting in life. The rocks are made of "small axe".
The "splitting" method is used to create a hard and rugged surface with rich texture. The artistic conception of the painting is clear and broad, and movement can be seen in the stillness.
The signature next to it also has Qiu Ying's seal and Jiang Keqian's promotion. The meaning of the text is, "In July of this year, Jiang Keqian and Qiu Ying hit it off. They talked about the past and the present, discussed the art of piano together, and became each other's confidants.
Finally, Qiu Ying painted this painting as a commemoration!'
"I didn't expect to be able to get Qiu Ying's original work here! It's really rare!" After Liu Dong read the painting, he carefully rolled it up again. He raised his head and noticed the skinny young man looking at him eagerly. Liu Dong smiled and said
: "Don't worry, you won't be short of money!" As he said that, Liu Dong took out 20,000 yuan from the bag next to him and handed it over.
"Brother, this is twenty thousand!" the skinny young man stammered, but the fiery look in his eyes never weakened.
"I know, don't tell others about 20,000 yuan!" Liu Dong said with a smile. The three items of the skinny young man only cost 15,000 yuan as agreed before, but Liu Dong was too lazy to count. Five thousand,
Ten thousand is no longer important to him now.
"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"
Seeing the skinny young man going out happily, Liu Dong smiled, reached out and put the three items into the mustard space. There was not much room to put these antiques in the car, and if they were bumped, the value of these antiques would be
Falling exponentially.
Next, in more than half an hour, six more people came up one after another. Basically, everyone had two or three things in their hands. Except for two pieces of porcelain, the rest had three paintings. Five pieces of calligraphy, the porcelain was still
The folk kilns, paintings and calligraphy are all written by Jiang Keqian, and there should be her wife's handwriting, because most of the scrolls have beautiful handwriting, and there are two works with the same handwriting in the calligraphy.
Of course, apart from porcelain, calligraphy and painting, the only thing left is the Qin. In addition to the two Tang Qins that Liu Dong got before, there is also a famous Song Qin, which was made by Wei Zhongzheng, a famous Qin player in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the late period, Ma Xiliang, a famous qin player, renovated the famous Qin Qiong Xiangqin according to the imperial decree during Huizong's reign!
A 'Gulong Qin' made by Yan Guqing, a famous qin player in the Yuan Dynasty! and two qins from the Four Kings of the Ming Dynasty, namely the Yiwang Qin and the Hengwang Qin.
Now Liu Dong is very sure that the tomb dug by these people is that of Jiang Keqian, the guqin master of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to these promotions and inscriptions in calligraphy, these six extremely precious guqins, and most of them have been repaired, have Jiang Keqian's inscriptions on them.
Intaglio seal.
"It's a pity that I don't know how to play the piano, otherwise I could have tried the sound of these guqins." When seeing such a precious guqin for the first time, Liu Dong himself felt a little itchy!
At this time, everything in everyone's hands had been taken away by Liu Dong.
When he got off the car, Li Donglai, who was the first to get off, quickly came up with the others.
"Boss, do you want a shabby book like this?" As he said that, Li Donglai took out a rolled-up, old and yellowed thread-like book with some moth-eaten pages on it.
"Broken book?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it and took a look. He saw "The Complete Collection of Qinshu" written in neat regular script on the cover of the book in his hand. After opening it, the title page of the book in his hand read the seventh volume. Then there is a vermilion seal of Jiang Keqian next to it.
"Do you still have these books?" Liu Dong asked quickly.
The "Qin Shu Encyclopedia" compiled by Jiang Keqian is large in scale and contains numerous documents. There are a total of twenty-two volumes, including "temperament", "Qin system", "fingering", "melody", "Qin playing sages", etc. There are also 2 The volume contains guqin music and contains 62 qin music. It is the largest collection of ancient qin studies documents in existence, and is also one of the important existing guqin documents in China!
The "Complete Collection of Musical Instruments" currently circulating is only a copy published in the Ming Dynasty. There are only three volumes in China, but the seventh volume in Liu Dong's hand is in Jiang Keqian's own handwriting! It is undoubtedly more precious!
"Yes, yes! I've asked Xiao Liuzi to get it!" At first, Li Donglai didn't expect that these broken books could be sold for money, so he didn't bring them.
After receiving the exact news, Liu Dong temporarily calmed down his anxiety. Then, after waiting for about five minutes, he saw the skinny young man who was the second to get on the bus holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, hunched over, and striding away. Came over.
"Have you brought the things?" Li Donglai hurriedly approached and asked.
"Bring it here, it's all inside!" As he said this, the skinny young man named Xiaoliuzi took out a huanghuali box with a pattern of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest from his snakeskin bag. The box was fifteen centimeters high and four feet long. Ten centimeters and thirty centimeters wide, it looks quite substantial.
"Boss, here it is!" Li Donglai took it and quickly handed it to Liu Dong's hand.
Liu Dong, who was slightly excited at this moment, was not polite. He reached out and opened the box. The contents inside were indeed as Liu Dong expected. The remaining twenty-one "Qinshu Encyclopedia" were all inside, and they were all by Jiang Keqian. Handwriting.
But in addition to this set of books, there is also an inkstone, two squares of ink, a writing brush with a white jade tube, some poetry scrolls, and a gold hairpin.
The inkstone is the famous Duan inkstone among the four famous inkstones. Of the two inkstones, less than half of one has been used. They are all ink products from Cheng Junfang, a master of ink making in the Ming Dynasty. The brushes are also considered expensive. As for the poetry scrolls, there are forty or fifty pieces, but Liu Dong had never heard of it before. Judging from the handwriting, it should be the work of Jiang Keqian and his wife. As for this golden hairpin, it should be his wife's personal belongings.
The items in these boxes were also commonly used by Jiang Keqin, so after his death, they were all buried with him.
"Boss, I have something else here!" Just as Liu Dong put back the seventh volume of the Qinshu Encyclopedia in his hand and closed the box, Xiao Liuzi, who had just brought the wooden box over, said quickly.
"What else?" After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Okay, take it out and show it to me!"
"Hey!" Xiao Liuzi agreed, and then took out a covered jar with a height of more than fifty centimeters from the snakeskin bag at his feet.
Seeing this lidded jar, Liu Dong's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly reminded: "Slow down, don't drop it!"
"Come on, give it to me!"
The moment Liu Dong touched this covered jar with his hands, the identification result of 'Ming Jiajing Coral Red Ground Yellow Cai Yun Dragon Pattern Covered Jar' appeared on the mustard space relic in his mind. Needless to say, just look at the words on this covered jar
The dragon pattern and the rich and dazzling white aura on it indicate that this must be an imperial kiln of the Ming Dynasty royal family and is priceless.
Liu Dong was still confused at first. Logically speaking, Jiang Keqian was a royal relative of the Ming Dynasty, and his grandfather was the father of Empress Zhengde. How come all the burial objects were from private kilns, and there was not even a single official kiln utensil. Now he sees
Liu Dong was completely satisfied with this almost perfect "Ming Jiajing coral jar with red ground, yellow, clouds and dragon pattern lid".
But the value of this piece of porcelain is no less than any imperial kiln wares from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
"Okay, I've accepted this piece of porcelain and everything in this box!" With that, Liu Dong opened the car door and put them all in the car, then took out 90,000 yuan from the schoolbag in front of him.
, except Dong Fugui, everyone else gave him 10,000 yuan. Only Xiaoliuzi still had a piece of porcelain, so Liu Dong gave him 20,000 yuan.
"Now think about it and see if there is anything left behind that has not been brought over!" Liu Dong asked again.
"Gone!"
"there is none left!"……
After thinking hard for a while, the nine people shook their heads. Seeing this, Liu Dong could only sigh with regret, but it disappeared in an instant. He had gained enough from this trip.
However, for the sake of his own safety in the future, Liu Dong also wanted to give these people a warning.
"Now that the transaction is over, you have got the money! And each of you should have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in your hands! This money is enough for five or six years of your labor. It's a lot, and it's very exciting. But I want
I’m warning you that you have all broken the law today!”
Liu Dong's harsh words immediately stunned the nine people who were originally in high spirits.
"Broken the law? Boss, what law have we broken?" Li Donglai asked in a low voice, lacking confidence.
"Yes, we didn't steal or rob, we just sold some things dug out of graves. This was what everyone in the village did when I was in my hometown, and the police didn't come to the door. How can this be considered a crime?"...
Seeing the way everyone shook their heads, Liu Dong knew that the countryside was poorly informed and had little legal awareness. He used to dig out some porcelain, gold and silver from the fields and take them home, and no one ever said anything. Of course, this was also the case.
Because they got too few things and the value of the cultural relics was too low. This was also the case in the mountain village where Liu Dong lived before.
But this time is different, but each of the six guqins dug out from Jiang Keqian's tomb is a rare item, worth tens of millions, and can be called a first-class cultural relic. Moreover, Qiu Ying's "Pine Forest Discussing the Qin" and "Ming Dynasty"
The Jiajing Coral Jar with Red Ground, Yellow Colorful Cloud and Dragon Pattern Cover also belongs to this level. The remaining paintings and calligraphy of Jiang Keqian are also rare. Although they are not as good as those of Qiu Ying, their level is very high. It has been recorded in history books.
He is very good at calligraphy and painting.
In addition, the 22 volumes of the "Encyclopedia of Guqin" with higher historical value include Jiang Keqian's handwriting, as well as Duan inkstone and Cheng Junfang's ink products, etc., which are also rare items. Even the lowest value gold hairpin is worth more than ten thousand or twenty thousand.
.
The combined value of these things, if sentenced, would probably be enough to cover the jail term. (To be continued)
