Chapter 138: There Was a Set
Wu Duo just relied on the feeling of the Ming Dynasty inkstone, and then deduced the "Jiajing Imperial Inkstone" from the shape and inscription, which is quite cool, but there is no basic identification, and it is always empty.
What is the identification of the foundation? It is the stone, slurry, and craftsmanship of the inkstone, and it must be determined from these things that it is the inkstone of the late Ming Dynasty.
After that, it can be further inferred in combination with the shape and inscription.
Wu Duo immediately woke up to himself.
In terms of inkstones, Wu Duo is lacking in skill after all, and in the end, he still has to rely on the door to "listen".
Taohe inkstone?
It turned out to be Taohe inkstone!
I just felt like it before.
It's just that this Taohe stone is extremely special, the emerald color is rare and different.
Then again, if it weren't for that, the emperor probably wouldn't have used this stone and wouldn't have carved such an inscription!
Moreover, it was really made in the third year of Jiajing! It is still the craftsmanship of the palace craftsmen!
Didn't run away!
Isn't it all right? It doesn't seem to be all ······
Wu Duo's previous appraisal, although there is no basic basis, but this kind of thing, jumping to the feeling all of a sudden, is not completely out of thin air.
Good things often have their own charm.
If you see too many good things, in the face of a high imitation, although you can't find a clue from the thing itself, sometimes you will find that it doesn't feel right.
Similar to Pu Yi's allusion.
Pu Yi, who said that he had abdicated, was invited to the home of Wang Guowei, a master of Chinese culture, and Wang Guowei displayed some antique treasures during the period, but Pu Yi pointed out a few fakes. Wang Guowei was not convinced at the time, and later found many experts and masters to re-appraise, and Pu Yi was really right.
So Wang Guowei humbly asked Pu Yi again, Pu Yi was not very old at the time, in fact, he didn't have any research on antiques at all, he replied to Wang Guowei: It just looks different from my family.
Of course, this allusion is good to listen to, it can't be said to be fake, but it definitely can't be universal.
The capture and grasp of this feeling is different from person to person, and it also depends on the specific thing, the genuine product also has 369 and so on, and the imitation also has a masterpiece.
Wu stabilized his mind, "Old man, how much do you want to pay for this inkstone?"
"Originally, I asked for 20,000 yuan, but the shopkeeper started with 5,000 and finally gave me up to 8,000. The old man replied.
"Twenty Thousand ······" Wu Duo groaned. There is often this kind of habitual dragging in the antique shop, and the habit becomes natural. It's not a bad thing not to be in a hurry to make a statement.
"This price can't be lowered any longer, this thing is from the Ming Dynasty anyway, and I'm just waiting for 20,000 yuan now. The old man picked it up in a hurry.
Wu Duozi wouldn't ask him what he was doing urgently, "Old man, why are you so sure that it is from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Because I got it together at that time, there is also a piece of ink, which reads'Made in the year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty'!"
"Huh?" Wu Duo listened, "Where's the ink?"
"I sold it two years ago. The piece of ink sells well, oval, there are two coiled dragons on the front, painted with gold; the back up and down is the auspicious clouds painted with gold, and the middle is vertically engraved with 'made in the year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty'. ”
"How do you know that ink and inkstone are together?"
"There is an old box, hardwood, they say it is red sandalwood, and the outside is also carved with dragon patterns, and there is a space for ink and inkstone, which is very suitable, and it is matched at a glance!"
"Where's the box?"
"I sold it a year ago!"
Good guy, such a good set of things, why are they still being dismantled and sold?!
"Sir, why don't you sell them together?
"When I came, I didn't have all the stuff. In that box, there are not only inkstone and ink spaces, but also three other spaces!"
"So many things, this red sandalwood box is huge!"
"It's not big, because the inkstone and ink are the biggest things in it. As for the other three spaces, one can be seen to be a pen, and the other two spaces are not what to put in, one is round, and one is under the upper circle. You see, a set of five pieces of things, suddenly missing three pieces, I think that if I sell it as a set, it will not sell at a price, so it is better to dismantle it and sell it one by one. ”
Wu Duo thought to himself, the empty space of the circle is afraid that it is the place where the clay box is printed, and the empty space below the upper circle is afraid that it is the place where the seal is placed. However, this seal cannot be the seal of the emperor of heaven, most of it is the private seal of Emperor Jiajing, and it is not impossible to even release the Taoist law seal.
Wu Duodun regretted that such a set of good things was actually dispersed like this.
Even the last three pieces let the old gentleman sell them one by one······ I only caught up with the last one.
"And how did you set the price?"
"Well, don't you talk about this?" the old man seemed a little impatient, "young man, do you want it?"
"Can it be cheap?" Wu Duo smiled.
"I'm really short of money now, 20,000 yuan is because I think you are good, otherwise I really want to sell it for a higher mile, and that piece of ink will sell for 50,000!" the old man rubbed his hands.
Wu Duo nodded, but he didn't expose him. The old man was at the door of the study's room, facing the shopkeeper's eight thousand, and said that if he added a little more, it would definitely not be the price of twenty thousand, but now he changed his words, and he seemed to be a little resolute.
This may be that Wu Duo was too kind and polite, and said that he would invite him to dinner, and he also watched the inkstone for a long time.
Wu Duo understood almost everything, and picked up a big leak, so he stopped grinding and chirping, "Okay, then I'll ask for it." Is it a transfer to you or is it?"
"I have a collection code!" the old man took out his mobile phone, "I am in the dried meat business, and I also have a small store at home." ”
"Old man, have you signed an agreement on your previous deal?" Wu Duo asked again.
"Nope. The old man shook his head, "Doesn't it mean that the antique business is all about buying and selling, and no one is looking for anyone? ”
"Good. Wu Duoying said, "Such an old gentleman, I want something, let's pay for the goods twice, and no one will look for anyone." Still, at the end of the day, I want to take the liberty of asking, can you tell me how things came about?"
"Isn't it a rule not to ask where you come from?" the old man smiled awkwardly. It seems that he sold two things and learned some Taoism.
"So I said take the liberty of asking. ”
The old man thought for a while, "In this way, you pay first, and I'll tell you more about it when it's over." Because if I did, you would ······ Hehe, don't worry, the way is absolutely right! It's not stealing, it's not robbing!"
Wu Duoluo groaned slightly, "Okay! I just said that I want to invite you to dinner, let's talk while eating!"
"I made money selling things, so I'll please. ”
"No, I said it a long time ago!"
The old man gave in a few more words, and Wu Duo saw that the old man was a very polite person, but he had a lot of small calculations in his heart, so he insisted on inviting him, even if it was to let him talk about the way to do things.
Wu Duo scanned the code to pay, and the payment was cleared, and then he and the old man began to order noodles.
The old man ordered pork rib noodles, a choy sum with stinging skin, and a sauced beef; Wu Duo ordered an oily noodles, a tomato scrambled egg, and a white-cut chicken, making up four dishes.
The old man doesn't drink, he has a good appetite, and he eats noodles a lot. Wu Duoben was also patient, didn't ask in a hurry, and ate some first.
After eating almost, the old man took the initiative to open his mouth, "My hometown, it's a ······ from Maoling County."
"What, your hometown is also Maoling County?" Wu Duo couldn't help but interrupt.
