Chapter 58: The swan song of the green vine

"I just asked you to give me a down-to-earth word, I didn't think you would dare to say that. Yao Zhiyuan gave Wu a thumbs up.

"It's better to buy expensive than fake. My things, Uncle Yao, you can rest assured. It's not the first time we've done business. ”

"Good, good. Yao Zhiyuan smiled, "Then Xiao Wu, you can quote a price!"

"Uncle Yao, look at it!"

This "look at giving" is a routine in the antique industry, that is, the mouth is good, the face is happy, in fact, in the end, how much or how much, less to follow your urgency.

However, Wu Duo is not a routine Yao Zhiyuan, nor is he polite to him. Because of this price, Wu Duo is not easy to decide, and wants to hear Yao Zhiyuan first, although Yao Zhiyuan doesn't know how things come from.

This porcelain panel painting with a mahogany frame was originally sold for almost 600,000 yuan, but Wu Duo sold it for 700,000 yuan at the auction, at least 100,000 yuan more.

Wu Duo didn't plan to ask for a price of 700,000, or even 600,000, and Yao Zhiyuan shouldn't be able to pay it.

But Wu Duo can't be too much lower than the market price.

Although there is an extra piece of ink glasses in the Ming Dynasty here, one yard is one yard, which is secretly leaking, and if the porcelain plate painting is too much lower than the market price, it is a clear loss.

"After the customer said about porcelain panel paintings, I really studied the market situation of porcelain panel paintings. What kind of snow scene picture of yours, even the porcelain plate and the old mahogany frame, 600,000 yuan is almost at the top. Yao Zhiyuan groaned.

Wu Duo didn't speak, waiting for "but".

"But, that customer is more knowledgeable, I can't work in vain, right?"

Wu Duo smiled, "I understand Uncle Yao." 600,000 is too much, but I can't go too low. So, let's find a number from 500,000 and 600,000, and you can report this number, okay?"

"Xiao Wu, you are really happy! I can't be stingy if you are happy, 560,000 yuan, I have given you five with six, and the manual cost of disassembling and assembling the porcelain plate is also mine, how about it?" Yao Zhiyuan is also a veteran, how can he not understand? Find a number in the middle, how can you find it casually? That must pass the middle.

"Okay. Wu Duo didn't twist it, and responded in one bite.

It's an acceptable price. And after all, there is a Ming Dynasty ink glasses heart, and after taking it out, it is also quite smooth to sell the original object.

As for Yao Zhiyuan, it may not be just to make money from this single business, he and that customer should be a long stream.

Yao Zhiyuan transferred the account to Wu Duo on the spot.

Wu Duo and Yao Zhiyuan went to the master's shop again, took out the receipt, and the three of them handed it over in person.

Yao Zhiyuan also wanted Wu Duo to stay, chat for a while, and have a meal at noon; Wu Duo had good goods one after another, which made him quite interested.

But Wu Duo must be in a hurry to leave, he was in a hurry to go back to see what was going on with the heart of the Ming Dynasty's sunglasses, so he could only refuse.

Leave the market and take a taxi home.

Back at home, Wu Duo immediately took out this sunglasses heart and spread it on the table.

Now, it is equivalent to 140,000 orders to buy this mirror heart, to see if it is a leak.

This is a sketch of an orchid.

Large blank spaces.

Although there are only a few brushstrokes of the painted orchid grass, at first glance, it looks like a messy grass, but when you look at it again, you feel a sense of awakening.

And take a closer look, the ink is unbridled, and the wind and bones are fully revealed. There are a few orchids flickering among the leaves, and another is floating in mid-air, with a unique look, but not far from the overall situation.

In the blank space on the left, a poem is inscribed.

But it's hard to recognize because it's cursive.

There are no names.

However, fortunately, there is a seal.

Four-character white text: Qingteng Taoist.

This Wu Duo can recognize it.

Xu wei!

This is actually Xu Wei's ink orchid sketch!

Although Wu Duo's knowledge reserve in calligraphy and painting is insufficient, it is impossible not to know Xu Wei's "Qingteng", which is the most famous "green vine".

In his excitement, Wu Duo stretched out the middle finger of his left hand and listened again.

That's right! It's Xu Wei's ink orchid sketch!

Moreover, the cursive script on this, Yonglan's seven-character poem, is also Xu Wei's poems and Xu Wei's calligraphy!

Mo Xiao Chunguang does not belong to Nong, and a fragrance is enough to suppress a thousand reds. The general order is to take off Han Niang's sleeves, not to be a human brain.

It's a gimmick!

Xu Wei, the character is long, the number is Qingteng Taoist, Tianchi Sheng, Shanyin Buyi······ There are too many of his numbers, at least a dozen.

Xu Wei is a very legendary figure, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty. The other two, one is Xie Jin, who presided over the compilation and revision of the "Yongle Canon", and the other is Yang Shen, who wrote "The Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes".

Xu Wei has been famous since he was a child, and the story of the prodigy Xu Wenchang is still widely circulated today.

Genius is not called in vain, poetry, calligraphy and painting, four uniques, there is no bad.

However, although he said that "calligraphy is the first, poetry is second, writing is third, and painting is fourth", he is most famous in later generations for his own "painting", which was ranked last by himself.

Xu Wei is a character who splashes ink and opens a sect. Although Xu Wei was not the first to paint ink freehand painting, he was the most accomplished, and he led the way in splashing ink freehand.

Xu Wei's painting style influenced many painters in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as Bada Shanren and Shi Tao.

Xu Wei also has many fans in later generations.

There is a fan of the Qing Dynasty, and he even specially engraved a seal: the lackey under the Qingteng Gate.

This fan's name is Zheng Banqiao.

There is also a fan who said: Hate is not born 300 years ago, grinding ink and paper for Qingteng.

This fan's name is Qi Baishi.

In addition to poetry, calligraphy and painting, Xu Wei also has a title that is not easy to list with poetry, calligraphy and painting: military strategist.

It's not blowing either. Xu Wei is proficient in the art of war, proficient in strategy, and once gave advice to Hu Zongxian, a famous minister who resisted the Japanese, and fought against the Japanese invaders, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

In 1937, more than 300 years after Xu Wei's death, the Japanese invaded China again, and this sketch of Xu Wei's ink orchid was preserved by someone who hid it in a porcelain plate and wooden frame.

On a picture, it fully embodies the three uniques of Xu Wei's poetry and calligraphy, which can be called the swan song of Qingteng!

Wu Duo looked at this ink orchid sketch, and suddenly felt that this rented house was indeed a little unsafe······

Don't look at the center of this mirror is less than half a meter wide and less than a foot vertical, but if it is auctioned, it should be something that can easily exceed 10 million!

While appreciating, Wu Duo couldn't help but think of the ending of Xu Wei's life.

Not good.

Mentally ill, repeatedly attempted suicide, killed his wife and was imprisoned, after being released from prison, he was tossed and turned, and finally he was poor and sick, and when he died, there was no one around, no seat in bed, and he died in desolation.

With a sigh, Wu Duo carefully put the mirror heart into his handbag.

After thinking about it, I simply put it on the top of the wardrobe. Even if there is a thief in the house, it is not easy to be noticed, and it can also be ventilated and moisture-proof.

After putting it away, Wu Duo couldn't help but think to himself, the next step is to hurry up and arrange the move.
