Chapter 398 Mr. Li’s Appreciation
.........After listening to Li Yuncong's words, the lieutenant nodded, but his expression did not change at all. After returning the ID to Li Yuncong, he walked up to Liu Dong and said, "Comrade, your ID!"
"Just give them your ID card to check!"
After hearing what Li Yuncong said, Liu Dong quickly took out his ID card and handed it over.?
After the lieutenant officer took it, he looked at Liu Dong against the photo on the ID card and nodded, "Okay, you can go over!" He said and returned the ID card to Liu Dong.
"Let's go, Xiaodong!"
After getting in the car, Li Yuncong stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly drove forward. After passing the security inspection equipment on both sides that looked like "magnetic anti-theft buckles" in a supermarket, Li Yuncong slowly increased the speed of the car.
However, it was obvious that this kind of inspection was not just this one, but stopped after a full six times.
"Brother Li, you wouldn't have brought me to some secret military base, would you? The inspection is so strict!" Liu Dong joked.
"Secret military base? Even if you want to go, I don't have the ability. This is Yuquan Mountain!"
"Yuquan Mountain!" Liu Dong looked surprised, "No wonder the guards are so tight!"
Most people in the capital, and even Chinese people, know that there are two famous forbidden places in the capital. One is the "Zhong-Nanhai", the brain of the country, and the other is Yuquan Mountain. This once popular and beautiful royal garden has been closed since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
.It has always been the top nursing home in the country.
After the country's first, second and third generation leaders retire, they usually live in seclusion here.
Liu Dong, who had heard all kinds of legends here before, came here for the first time and was naturally extremely curious.
However, apart from the unique and beautiful scenery of Yuquan Mountain, it is not much different from other top villa communities. Set among the lush flowers and trees are rows of Soviet-style villas with red bricks and white walls.
Following the asphalt road inside the villa, Li Yuncong quickly stopped next to a three-story villa. The villa had no courtyard walls, and outside was a small fenced courtyard with some flowers, plants and trees planted in it.
The morning sun in early autumn blooms, exuding a delicate fragrance that fills the courtyard. It is intoxicating.
"It's really a good place to stay away from the world and cultivate your character!" Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the ancient trees and pines, mountain springs and streams he saw along the way, as well as the quiet and beautiful courtyard in front of him.
"Haha, the place is nice, but there are a lot of rules. Not to mention anything else, just checking the door six times every time you enter is unbearable. And here, even if you cough, you don't dare to make a loud noise! There are too many rules.
If it’s too much, let me live here. It’s like going to jail!”
After listening, Liu Dong smiled. There is no simple person who can live here. It is natural that the guards are tight and there are many rules. Young people like them naturally cannot stand this restraint, so it is more suitable to retire here.
.
"Let's go, the old man has come out to greet you in person!" Li Yuncong said quickly, looking at Mr. Li who came out after hearing the sound of the car.
Seeing this, Liu Dong naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly opened the car door and walked out. Then he carefully took down the suitcase full of antiques that he had specially brought with him from the trunk, and walked in with Li Yuncong.
"Mr. Li!"
"Xiaodong, here we come! Come in quickly!" Seeing the old man standing on the front steps waving, Liu Dong naturally did not dare to neglect.
Following Mr. Li into the villa, the first thing that caught his eye was a simple European-style living room. Obviously, this was not the decoration style that the old man liked.
"Hello, Grandma Li! This is a gift for you!" Liu Dong said and handed over the gift box in his hand.
"Hey, come on. What gifts do you bring! Come and sit down!" The old lady had a good impression of Liu Dong. Coupled with Liu Dong's relationship with the boss and his grandnephew, her face was naturally full of smiles.
.
"Sit down, Xiaodong!"
"Hey!" Liu Dong agreed, put the suitcase aside and sat down.
"Why are you sitting here? Why don't you go make a pot of tea!" Just when Li Yuncong was about to sit down, the old man said with a hint of scolding.
"I..., okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Li Yuncong stopped talking, nodded, turned and walked into the kitchen, and Grandma Li followed him with some worry.
"Mr. Li, don't go to too much trouble!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"It's okay. When you get here, it's like you're at your own home!"... "By the way, have you brought everything?" the old man asked quickly.
"I've brought them all, and they're all in this box!" Liu Dong smiled and pointed to the huge black box placed next to him, which looked like a suitcase.
"Okay, Xiaodong! You pick up the box and come with me!" After saying that, the old man stood up and walked towards the study on the left side of the living room. Seeing this, Liu Dong shook his head secretly. He didn't expect the old man to be so impatient. At that moment,
He quickly stood up, took the box and followed the old man in.
The old man's study is not small, with an area of forty or fifty square meters. There are many books and porcelain on the bookshelves at the back. On the large desk, there are the four treasures of the study that are common in Chinese study rooms. There is also a long and clean table near the window.
There are three sofas and a wooden coffee table placed against the wall as a place to rest and drink tea. In addition, there are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.
The whole study exudes a hint of ancient style.
"Okay, let's put it on this table!" After walking to the clean table near the window sill, the old man turned around and motioned to Liu Dong to open the box.
Liu Dong did as he was told, opened the combination lock on the box, then opened the zipper and opened the lid. Inside were all large and small wooden boxes. In order to protect these precious antiques, Liu Dong spent a lot of money.
effort.
He took out a long box at the end and handed it over, "Mr. Li, here it is for you!"
Seeing this, the old man looked earnest and carefully but quickly took the box from Liu Dong's hand, then put it on the table, opened it, carefully took out the scroll wrapped in yellow silk cloth, and then wiped the table with a rag first.
After reading it once, he put the scroll in his hand up and unfolded it little by little.
"This is Zhao Mengfu's "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan"!!" Looking at the scroll, I saw my disciples Yin Xi, Geng Sangchu, Nan Rongzhu, Yin Wen, Xin Zhao, Cui Zhai, Bai Ju, Lie Yukou, Shi
Cheng Qi and Zhuang Zhou's ten people, in the paintings of Zhao Mengfu, a great master of the Yuan Dynasty, some have a solemn appearance, some are frowning in thought, or some are looking up, with different expressions. The old man's face showed excitement. In the eyes of the old man, this
Paintings are true national treasures.
Seeing that the old man liked it, Liu Dong stood beside him without disturbing him.
After a while, Grandma Li and Li Yuncong, who had not found anyone outside, also opened the door and walked in. Looking at Mr. Li's appearance, they naturally understood what was going on, especially Li Yuncong, who also had some concerns about Liu Dong's experience some time ago. I know what I know, and I also have some preferences for collecting antiques, so I am very interested at the moment.
As for Grandma Li, after that special era in the past, she no longer resents the boss playing with these things. On the contrary, under the influence of Mr. Li, the old lady also has a little curiosity about these things that belong to traditional Chinese culture.
"Zhao Mengfu is truly worthy of being a great link between the past and the future in the history of Chinese painting. The ink used in this painting is of suitable shades, the characters have smooth lines, and the expressions are natural. The whole painting is not as cumbersome as the flower-and-bird paintings of the Song Dynasty literati, and it looks more simple and natural. It is really a rare national treasure. "Xiaodong, you got a big deal!" Having said this, the old man was really jealous. There are probably less than a hundred of Zhao Mengfu's exquisite paintings and calligraphy from the Yuan Dynasty that have been handed down to the present.
"Haha, old man, I just have some luck and it's not worth bragging about. Take a look at this again!" As he said that, Liu Dong quickly handed over the box in his hand.
"You have a lot of good stuff, let me take a look first!" As he said that, the old man couldn't wait to take the box from Liu Dong's hand, then opened it carefully, and after taking away the sponge cushion and yellow silk inside the box, a A purple-red pen wash with a wide mouth and bulging belly appeared in front of several people.
Seeing this brush wash, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is this the Jun kiln brush wash?"
Although he was asking Liu Dong, Mr. Li's eyes never left the Jun kiln porcelain inside the box, which was rich in color and worth tens of thousands of gold.
"Yes, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong nodded.
"It turns out that Jun kiln porcelain, one of the five famous kilns, looks like this. Although it looks good, it's not as exaggerated as the book says!"
Hearing Li Yuncong's words, Mr. Li glared and said, "What do you know? If a bottle is less than half a bottle, how can you tell the level of appraisal? If you have time, learn more from Xiaodong. You can just idle around all day, like What a look!"
Facing the old man's scolding, Li Yuncong couldn't help but shrink his head and blinked at Liu Dong, with a bitter look on his face. Li Yuncong was really afraid of this hot-tempered second grandfather.
"Okay, forget about the school motto Yun Cong, let's keep reading. This is the first time I have seen Jun kiln porcelain!" Grandma Li said. Although it was not easy to collect before, but after spending time with Mr. Li for a long time, I was influenced by what I heard and saw. Naturally, we know how valuable the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are. So at this moment, we are naturally a little curious.
After hearing his wife's words, Mr. Li, who had long wanted to do it himself, naturally did not dare to neglect. He quickly picked up the Jun kiln brush washer in the box, then put it in his hand and examined it carefully. This was the second Jun that the old man had acquired. Kiln porcelain.
After waiting for half an hour, Mr. Li finally reluctantly put down the Jun kiln brush washer in his hand. Liu Dong took out a big box again. Inside the box was the famous yuan ink he took out. Although the blue and white plum vase with dragon pattern is not as valuable as the large blue and white vase with figures from the Yuan Dynasty, this blue and white porcelain with five claws and dragon pattern is also used by the royal family and belongs to the official kiln, so it is valuable.
