Antiques with golden eyes

Chapter 333 Bao Fu Zhai

"Xiao Shen, remember to come to Brother Wang's place often to drink tea from now on. I'll keep the best Mingqian Longjing and the newly roasted local wild tea for you..."

Shen Yu and Pei Yu'an had walked more than 20 meters out of the store. The owner of Jiangulou, Fatty Wang, was still standing at the door of the store and kept waving to Shen Yu.

"Okay, Brother Wang, please go back."

Shen Yu never expected that the second of the three antique shops would be Fatty Wang's "Jiangulou".

The first antique store sells porcelain, so the second store probably sells calligraphy and paintings. Shen Yu is mentally prepared for this and can roughly guess it.

But Shen Yu really didn't guess that it would be Jiangu Lou, and trying to pick up the missing pieces in Fatty Wang's "Jiangu Lou" was really three points harder than winning the lottery.

It's true that Fatty Wang's ancestors were palace painters, but there is another prerequisite, and that is after being cleared.

Going back to the early Ming Dynasty, he was not a painter, but a person who made fake calligraphy and paintings from his ancestors. He was an expert among experts in the calligraphy and painting counterfeiting circle.

If I had to make a comparison, only a few elusive families who specialize in forgery could compare. For example, the "hiding from the sky" family who had a deep study of the ancient paintings of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and whose forgeries were flawless.

But this so-called Zhidian family is not necessarily better than Fatty Wang’s ancestors, because Fatty Wang’s ancestors studied Tang paintings, so there is a difference in level!

So this time, it only took Shen Yu twenty minutes to bring Pei Yuan out, because "Jiangulou" is indeed full of mistakes.

There are a lot of good things, but none of them are missing!

"Brother-in-law, why are you dragging me out in such a hurry? I feel that the "Visiting Friends in Yunshan" on the wall is probably an authentic work by an ancient person." Pei Yu'an said with some regret.

Shen Yu sighed, "Yu'an, the last time I found something in "Jiangu Tower" was a very famous collector in Dongjiang who could be said to be a master, and that was twelve years ago.

"Some of the rumors in the market, such as someone making a fortune after picking up an authentic work of the Four Ming Dynasties in "Jiangulou", were all caused by Fatty Wang himself."

After saying that, Shen Yu looked at the time. It was now 4:20 pm, and there was still plenty of time. "By the way, Yu'an, what's the name of the last antique store? The leak should be in this last store."

Pei Yu'an thought for a moment, "It's called "Wanbao Tower", but the name of his store is "Dong Ji Antiques"."

"Hey, brother-in-law, are you okay? Why are you so stunned?"

At this moment, Shen Yu was indeed in a daze, and the expression on his face was very strange. You could say he was laughing. There was a slight smile on Shen Yu's face, but it was more bitter.

Shen Yu feels the same way now.

The truth is that you can’t talk nonsense casually. The ancients did not deceive me!

You must be careful what you say in the future.

As we all know, "Wanbaolou" does not sell fakes.

They don't sell any high imitations, and all the calligraphy, paintings and miscellaneous items sold in the store are antiques, which means that the most inferior antiques in the store are also objects from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

As the vice president of the Chuzhou Collection Association, Mr. Dong has made Wanbaolou one of the three famous antique stores in Chuzhou. There is no need to question his vision.

Not to mention Mr. Dong, even the palm-eye masters in the store who have decades of experience in identifying antiques cannot let the treasure leak happen in Wanbao Building, so even if there is a leak, it must be extremely difficult. of.

"The younger member of my Shen family didn't deceive you, did he?" Shen Yu asked again with some uncertainty.

Pei Yu'an shook his head, "No, I wish he had deceived me! Brother-in-law, I'm not stupid. It's not difficult to verify his lies. Just ask him to take me to find this antique on the shelf. If I find it If he fails to do so, or he deliberately hides the antiques to cheat, then he loses."

Shen Yu also felt that what Pei Yu'an said made sense, "Since it's Wanbao Tower, there's no need to worry. There's no point in being anxious. Let's go and find a teahouse to have a cup of tea first."

The two documents for joining the collection association, the mutton-fat white jade Zigang plate given by Mr. Xu, and the three pieces of porcelain purchased in Celadon Square were all brought back to the store by Lan Ya and Chen Xiaoyu. .

Shen Yu couldn't help but lament the convenience of having a car. He called Lan Ya and within a quarter of an hour, two people had already arrived with a portable safe.

Shen Yu was very reassured by Lan Ya's work. In fact, he didn't mention the safe at all on the phone, but Lan Ya brought two directly. The store manager's job can be said to be perfect.

……

The two of them walked a few hundred meters talking and laughing. At the corner from the porcelain area to the miscellaneous area, a group of people were surrounding a stall selling baggage. It looked like there was something there. Good items are for sale.

Pei Yuan's curiosity was suddenly aroused, "Brother-in-law, how about we go and have a look too?"

Shen Yu nodded, "Since you want to see it, let's take a look."

Walking closer, the stall owner of Baofengzhai is a skinny old man in his sixties who looks very honest and honest. He wears a pair of coarse cloth clothes and a pair of rag shoes on his feet, with his thumbs exposed. Dressed like an old country farmer.

Behind the old man stood a young man of about twenty years old. This young man had a dull expression and stood motionless in the sun, just like a clay puppet.

Judging from their appearance, these should be grandfather and grandson.

There are not many items for sale in this Baofengzhai, only three antiques: a bronze mirror, a seal, and a scroll.

Baofengzhai has two meanings.

One type is second-tier dealers with fixed sales. They don't have a store and don't want to set up a stall. They pay attention to what they can sell immediately without breaking the cost. They just bring a baggage box, collect the items, and sell them immediately.

The second type is when something suddenly happens at home and you need to sell antiques for emergency cash, but you don’t want to suffer a loss by selling them to a shady antique store, so you just lay out a bag of furoshiki on the floor, put the antiques on it and start selling them, and then the one with the highest price gets it.

If you don’t understand it yet, you can also think of it as a one-time street stall, a one-time deal.

By the time Shen Yu squeezed in, the deal on the bronze mirror and seal had already been completed.

The bronze mirror is from the Song Dynasty and sold for 75,000.

Judging from the material of the seal, it is carved from Shoushan stone, one of the three treasures of seal stone. Since Shen Yu couldn't get it, he didn't know the specific grade of the material. This seal was much more expensive, selling for a full 160,000 yuan.

The two buyers were counting the red bills, and the old man held more than 200,000 in cash in his arms, which really made the onlookers very envious.

Shen Yu was also secretly surprised. He had not seen Baofengzhai shipping so fast for a long time. Two antiques were sold for a high price of 235,000. It seemed like an instant sale. You must know that Chuzhou people are not easy to fool, so this must be Real antiques and fakes are unlikely to be so popular.

Chuzhou is the second largest city in Jiangnan Province and the cultural center of Jiangnan Province. The current average housing price is only 7,010 square meters. How can two antiques from a small Baofengzhai be sold for a small one-bedroom apartment?

Could it be that the remaining scroll is an authentic work by the ancients?

Not only Shen Yu, but also the painting left on the old man’s stall immediately aroused the interest of passersby.

At this time, there were nearly thirty people watching, and everyone was looking forward to finding out which ancient famous artist this ancient painting was.

"Old man, please stop hiding it and open the painting quickly."

"Yeah, if it's really an authentic work from ancient times, I'll buy it with cash."

Someone opened his handbag and revealed a bunch of red banknotes, which looked like five or six hundred thousand.

"I say, old man, if your waist and legs are not good, I can do it for you. Don't worry, I will never cause even the slightest harm to your painting."

A few impatient passers-by were impatient.

I feel like if the old man doesn't agree, they might have to roll up their sleeves and start painting on their own.

The old man knew what was going on, so he first spread a piece of satin cloth on the ground, flattened the four corners of the satin one by one, and then slowly untied the painting rope.

"Everyone, please take a look!"

After the old man finished reading the words, the ancient paintings slowly unfolded...

? ?Pangzi Wang’s ancient antiquity building actually has a large leak in the outline, a Tang Dynasty painting, and an authentic work by Wu Daozi.

? But for some reason, I felt that the writing was not good, and nearly 4,000 words were deleted, so I have to wait for the original painting of the saint.
