Chapter 855 "Picture of Leisurely Living in Lakes and Mountains"
…
Liu Dong was eager to see with his own eyes what he had just unexpectedly gained, so after finding a large trash can with these rusty swords, he threw them all in together with the newspapers wrapping the swords. As for what he wanted, naturally
It has also been transferred to the mustard space long ago!
But just when Liu Dong finished all this and turned around to leave, he was suddenly stopped by a voice from behind.
"Liu Dong?"
"Lao Fu?"
Liu Dong turned around and looked at the middle-aged man wearing a dark gray jacket with a slightly thin cheek four meters away, Liu Dong looked surprised.
"I looked like you from afar just now, but I didn't expect that it was really you!" Fu Kun strode up with a joyful expression and patted Liu Dong's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet you here either!"
Fu Kun is the direct disciple of Mr. Chen Bangda. After the two met at Mr. Qi Gong's place, they became friends as soon as they went back and forth. Later, Liu Dong joined the China Collection Association, and the two met several more times. Because they had similar temperaments, the relationship naturally became
Getting closer!
After chatting for a while, Fu Kun said with confusion: "Xiaodong, why are you here in Hong Kong? I didn't see your name on the list of exchanges organized at this meeting?"
"I came to Hong Kong alone this time, mainly to deal with some personal matters. I did not come to participate in an exchange meeting!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
As for the collection exchange meeting organized by the Mainland Collection Association and the Hong Kong Collection Association, Liu Dong, as a member, had naturally received the news a long time ago, but he was in Colombia at that time. He didn’t know when he would be available, so in the face of the invitation, he naturally
It was a flat refusal!
"I said so!"
A look of surprise appeared on Fu Kun's face.
"Is the exchange meeting over? Why do you have the time to go shopping here?" Liu Dong said.
"The collection exchange meeting starts tomorrow. Besides, I'm not going shopping here, I'm picking up treasures!"
"Taobao missing items?" Liu Dong smiled.
Liu Dong was not surprised by Fu Kun's answer, because anyone who likes collecting antiques has the heart to pick up missing items on Taobao!
"Of course. It's hard to come to Hong Kong, and I have to take a tour of Hollywood Road!" Fu Kun paused and stared at Liu Dong with fiery eyes and continued, "How about it, Xiaodong. Let's go
Let’s get together!”
He knew Liu Dong's ability in antique collection and appraisal. Didn't he get the famous Zhang Sengyao's "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture" from Panjiayuan!
Although Hollywood Road is not as good as Panjiayuan, its scale is no worse than Liulichang!
"Let's go. It just so happens that I still have a few familiar friends here. I promise I won't let you down when the time comes!" With that said, Fu Kun had already come up and took Liu Dong's arm and walked deeper into the street.
Seeing him like this, Liu Dong couldn't save his face, so he had to agree!
Anyway, the two ancient swords are already in the Mustard Seed Space and cannot escape. It won't be too late to look at them after we go back.
“Perhaps we can also pick up a few more good antiques!”
But Liu Dong soon realized that he had made the wrong note!
Fu Kun took him to visit more than 20 shops, but neither Fu Kun himself nor Liu Dong, who was driving the relic Yuanguang, found basically nothing.
Gadgets were not a big deal. The stuff in the store was ridiculously expensive, so after two hours, the two of them were still empty-handed.
"Lao Fu, why don't we go back? I just want to pay a visit to Mr. Chen!"
Liu Dong really didn't want to waste time anymore.
Moreover, his interest in shopping has been completely eliminated in the past two hours!
"If we visit one more store, if we don't gain much from the next one, we'll go back!" Fu Kun said after hesitating.
The success rate of picking up missing items on Taobao is not high to begin with. In addition to good eyesight, it is more about luck.
Moreover, after a long period of little gain, Fu Kun's enthusiasm for digging out treasures also dropped rapidly, but he always felt a little unwilling to go out and come back empty-handed!
Liu Dong naturally had no objection to Fu Kun's words.
It won't take long anyway.
Soon, under Fu Kun's familiar guidance, the two walked into the antique shop called "Jinbao Pavilion".
The store is not small. It has two floors. The upper floor is not visible for the time being, but the first floor is nearly 150 square meters. The antiques on the shelves inside are full of real things. Not to mention how many are real, but they can be sold in the center of Hong Kong.
It is impossible to open such a large store without tens of millions of funds.
Therefore, it also made Liu Dong pay more attention to the tall middle-aged man who strode up to greet them with a smile on his face after seeing them come in!
"Brother Fu, you are a rare visitor. Why do you have time to come to my place today?...Oh, I understand, look at my pig brain!" After patting his head, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Collection exchange meeting!"
"That's right! If it weren't for this collection exchange meeting between the Mainland and Hong Kong, I wouldn't have time to visit you!" After nodding, Fu Kun smiled and took the middle-aged man's right hand.
"Who is this?"
After smiling and nodding, the tall, middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong next to him, with a look of inquiry on his face.
"Oh, let me introduce you! This is Liu Dong. Although he is young, his antique appraisal skills are much better than mine!"
"Really?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
He had known Fu Kun for a short time, and he also knew how proud he was, especially since he was taught by a top appraiser in the country, and his appraisal skills, especially those of calligraphy and painting appraisals, were among the best among his peers, so his pride was natural.
It goes without saying.
But now Fu Kun actually admitted that his level was not as good as that of a young man who was nearly a round younger than him. This surprised the tall middle-aged man and made him even more curious about Liu Dong!
"Brother Fu praises me too much. When it comes to appraising antiques, I can't compare to you!" Liu Dong said sincerely. Without the relic Yuanguang, his current appraisal level would indeed not be as good as Fu Kun's.
"Okay, we two don't know each other, so don't be humble! In my teacher's place, you were even praised by him!"
After finishing speaking, Fu Kun introduced the tall, middle-aged man to Liu Dong.
At this time, Liu Dong learned that this tall, middle-aged man was named Ren Quan, and he was also the number one figure in the Xiangjiang antiques industry. Because of his early experiences, he had accumulated a lot of good things, coupled with his own abilities
That's right. The route is also relatively wide, so the Jinbao Pavilion's signature brand has a certain reputation in Hong Kong and even the mainland.
Because Fu Kun had participated in Hong Kong and the Mainland Collection Exchange Conference many times, he came here several times and actually spent money to buy a few good things. So he and Ren Quan became friends after going back and forth, although the relationship was not considered a relationship.
We are much closer to each other, but we are much better than strangers.
"Okay, now that we're done with the polite words, Lao Ren, it's time to show us the good stuff you've hidden!" Fu Kun said with a smile.
The three of them had just sat down at the round table nearby. Before they finished drinking a cup of tea, Fu Kun was already impatient!
"Haha. Don't be in a hurry when reading. You should finish this cup of tea!" Ren Quan said with a smile, picking up the teacup in his hand.
"There is plenty of time for tea, but things are more important. Let's go!"
With that said, Fu Kun stood up and pulled Ren Quan towards the second floor without any explanation.
Fu Kun, who has been here several times, naturally knows where the antiques in Jinbao Pavilion are placed.
"You guy, you're still as impatient as before!" Ren Quan said with a bitter smile.
"Xiaodong, hurry up!"
"Got it!" After agreeing, Liu Dong followed behind the two of them.
Seeing Fu Kun's hurried appearance, Liu Dong smiled. He had already learned about his friend's familiar temperament. Therefore, Liu Dong was not surprised by Fu Kun's actions at this moment.
The second floor of Jinbao Pavilion is not very big. The area of more than 100 square meters is divided into three spaces. In addition to the reception room in the middle, there are two rooms on each side. The one on the left should be the staff duty room or lounge.
In a space like this, beds arranged in rows can be seen from the half-open door.
The wall on the right is very thick, and the space with the steel door is a storage room!
To Liu Dong's expectation, Ren Quan did not let them wait in the reception room, but directly took out the key to open the storage room and took them in.
"All the things I have collected are here. Take a look first and let me know what you like!"
"knew!"
After agreeing, Fu Kun's eyes had already focused on the many artworks placed on the iron shelves in the storage space of about 40 square meters!
Naturally, Liu Dong was no exception. He did not expect to see so many antiques at Ren Quan at once, although many of them were not very valuable.
"Wang Yuanqi's "Leisurely Living in Lakes and Mountains"?"
Fu Kun's voice full of surprise and joy attracted Liu Dong. When his eyes focused on the painting in Fu Kun's hand, his eyes showed appreciation.
Wang Yuanqi is the grandson of Wang Shimin, Maojing, Lutai, Shishi Taoist No. 1. He was from Taicang, Jiangsu Province, and together with Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, and Wang Hui, he was known as the "Four Kings" in the early Qing Dynasty, also known as the "Four Kings of Jiangzuo"
”.
Due to his family background and smooth official career, Wang Yuanqi made his debut early. Because he concentrated on painting, he was called to serve in the inner court and served as the president of the calligraphy and painting library. He was responsible for compiling the "Peiwenzhai Calligraphy and Painting Library" and appraising ancient and modern calligraphy and painting. Later, he was promoted to household
Minister, so he was also called "Wang Sinong".
In terms of painting, he was taught by his grandfathers Wang Shimin and Wang Jian, and he also followed the ancient path. He especially liked to copy the painting styles of Huang Gongwang and Wang Meng. This painting "Residence in Lakes and Mountains" is a work by Wang Yuanqi who learned Wang Meng's brushwork and was created for his students.
Completed in two steps.
Because he was setting an example for students to learn the right way to learn painting, Wang Yuanqi painted more precisely and without any mistakes. All the elements of landscape painting are present in this painting. The smoke, mountains, clouds and trees are clear and the layout of the painting is also clear.
Comparing it as a whole, there are no common trivial disadvantages, so it is even more valuable.
