Chapter 829: Antique Street Adventure
In the night, Li Qingqing stood alone by the lotus pond in a daze.
She didn't expect the Zhao family's affairs to be so complicated. But since she was married to Zhao Xu, Li Qingqing decided to secretly help Zhao Xu's father and son resolve this grudge.
Li Qingqing didn't expect that it was Zhao Xiaotian's idea to expel Zhao Xu from the Zhao family. And Zhao Xiaotian did this in order to let Zhao Xu break off the relationship with the five great families, so as to protect Zhao Xu.
A few days ago, Zhao Xu also asked her if she wanted to continue to help the five great families. Now it seems that this matter must be followed through.
The wind was blowing, and a hint of coolness hit. Li Qingqing's delicate body shuddered, she put away her phone, turned around and walked into the house.
In the next few days, Chen Xiaodao taught Shen Hai and Xiao Yezi five steps while waiting for Ma Erzhi to recuperate.
When he had nothing to do, Zhao Xu told his wife Li Qingqing that he would go to the cultural entertainment market by himself to see if he could pick up some good things. also said that last time, Mr. Kong, the first person on the heavenly list, found an authentic boxing book in the flea market and gave the boxing book to Nongquan.
"Well, go ahead! Be careful. Li Qingqing said to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu nodded and walked out of Zhao's house with Chen Xiaodao.
Sioux City has a long history and is a famous ancient city, which has been considered a tourist mecca in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times.
In ancient times, there were many literati and scholars, dignitaries and nobles who liked to visit Jiangnan. The "Temple of Literature" and the "Xiangwang Temple" in Sioux City are both famous antique places.
Zhao Xu took Chen Xiaodao and first turned around the "Temple of Literature".
In the area of the Confucian Temple, most of them are stalls and sell all kinds of antiques.
Of course, the antiques industry is very deep. As the saying goes, it is called a knife to be poor, a knife to be rich. Whether you can find good things in the antique market depends on your eyesight. Many people don't understand this, and if they venture into the antique market, they will be "blinded".
Most of the antiques that are set up in the stalls like this are fake things or things with bad texture. Of course, there are also some stall owners who collect them from the people and miss some treasures. It was obtained by some antique tycoons, which was picked up and leaked, commonly known as "picking up leaks!".
Chen Xiaodao is not interested in these antiques, he mainly accompanies Zhao Xu to hang out and is responsible for his personal safety.
When he walked to the stall of a middle-aged man in his thirties, Zhao Xu stopped.
Zhao Xu was attracted by a "wild grass" calligraphy work. After looking at the stall owner carefully, I saw that the stall owner looked depressed and seemed to be preoccupied.
"How much does this calligraphy cost?" Zhao Xu asked the stall owner.
The stall owner seemed to be immersed in thoughts, and Zhao Xu shouted three times in a row, but there was no response.
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao glanced at each other. Then, he reached out and shook it in front of the stall owner's eyes.
"Hey, are you going to do business?" Zhao Xu asked the stall owner with a frown.
He had never seen such an unreliable businessman.
The stall owner reacted, "Oh!" and asked Zhao Xu, "Do you want to buy something?"
Zhao Xu was really angry with this stall owner. Picking up the cursive script on the stall, he asked the stall owner, "How much does this calligraphy cost?"
"Two hundred thousand!"
When Chen Xiaodao heard about 200,000 yuan, he glared at the stall owner and said, "What, 200,000 yuan?
"If you like to buy or not, don't bother me with my business. The stall owner took back the calligraphy from the wild grass.
Zhao Xu looked at the stall owner carefully, he was in his thirties, his mouth was full of cyan scum, and he looked a little down. He is short in stature and looks like a roe deer.
"I can buy your calligraphy, but you have to pack it up and sell it to me. Zhao Xu pointed to a portrait of a beautiful woman on the stall.
"No, I want this painting, plus 200,000!" The stall owner directly rejected Zhao Xu.
Chen Xiaodao pulled Zhao Xu's sleeve and whispered, "Young Master, you are careful of being deceived by this person!"
"Don't worry, I know it. ”
Chen Xiaodao knew that Zhao Xu had a certain attainment in antique calligraphy and painting, and maybe he found that this calligraphy was different from this painting, so he didn't say anything more.
The stall owner said to Zhao Xu: "In this way, you give me 500,000 yuan, and you can take all the things in my stall, how about it?"
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I only need this wild cursive calligraphy and this painting!"
"Then how much can you give?" the stall owner asked Zhao Xu.
"Just count according to what you say, 400,000!" Zhao Xu said.
The stall owner didn't expect Zhao Xu to agree so happily, and said regretfully: "No, I won't sell it!" You add another 100,000 yuan, and sell it to you for 500,000 yuan." ”
Zhao Xu said to Chen Xiaodao beside him: "Xiaodao, let's go!"
When the stall owner saw that Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao were leaving, he shouted to the two: "Hey, why don't you leave without a bargain?"
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "How can you ask for such a price." Obviously, after talking about 400,000 yuan, he sat on the ground and raised the price, and temporarily added 100,000 yuan. ”
"Okay, the 400,000 was sold to you. ”
Zhao Xu asked the other party for the bank card number and transferred 400,000 yuan.
Chen Xiaodao really doesn't understand these rich people, 400,000 yuan can buy a house of seventy or eighty square meters in a small county, and Zhao Xu actually bought a calligraphy and a painting with 400,000 yuan.
What shocked Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao was that the stall owner sold things to Zhao Xu, and after getting 400,000 yuan, he immediately began to close the stall.
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao felt a little strange and secretly followed.
On the way, Chen Xiaodao asked Zhao Xu, "Young Master, why did you spend 400,000 yuan to buy a calligraphy and a painting?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Little knife, you don't know. I've found a treasure!"
"What do you mean by picking up a treasure?" asked Chen Xiaodao puzzled.
Zhao Xu explained: "Have you heard of the four great talents of Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty?"
Chen Xiaodao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Zhao Xu explained to Chen Xiaodao: "The four great talents in Jiangnan are Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing. They are also known as the four talents of Wuzhong, and they are from Sioux City. Have you ever watched a TV show called Tang Bohu and Autumn Fragrance?"
Chen Xiaodao shook his head again, indicating that he hadn't seen it.
Zhao Xu really had to take Chen Xiaodao, I don't know if he had a childhood, and he hasn't even seen such a classic film.
Zhao Xu explained: "In fact, this movie has weakened Zhu Zhishan. Zhu Zhishan can be listed as one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and he naturally has his advantages. Zhu Zhishan grass writing is a must, and he is good at calligraphy. And Tang Bohu and the other two talents are not only good at poetry but also good at painting. Tang Bohu has been romantic all his life, and what he is best at is painting ladies and landscapes. And this painting is Tang Bohu's painting. It's just that few people know about it!"
"Young Master, how did you know?" asked Chen Xiaodao curiously.
Zhao Xu explained: "This is due to the strict supervision of my father and my mother since I was a child. My favorite thing at the time was writing cursive, and I was very familiar with the cursive writing of various celebrity systems. This calligraphy is Zhu Zhishan's masterpiece, and the market valuation is at least 20 million. And this painting by Tang Bohu is at least worth this amount. At that time, I specialized in Tang Bohu's paintings of ladies. So, recognize his painting style. ”
"Isn't this a high-level imitation?" asked Chen Xiaodao worriedly.
"No!" Zhao Xu said confidently.
The two followed, and finally saw the stall owner riding an electric tricycle to an alley corner.
There was an inconspicuous house in the corner of the alley, which looked like an illegal building, but I didn't expect this stall owner's life to be really miserable.
After the stall owner put the things in his home, he left the house in a hurry.
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao felt that this person was a little strange, so they quietly followed again.
The man ended up in a villa in a wealthy area.
Because Zhao Xu didn't know internal strength, he couldn't use light power, so he couldn't eavesdrop. Let Chen Xiaodao secretly find out what this person wants to do.
Zhao Xu sat in the car, admiring the calligraphy and paintings, while waiting for Chen Xiaodao.
In the villa, a man with a big belly and a fat head and big ears said to the stall owner who came in: "Wu Yong, what are you doing again?"

"Boss Xia, I'm here to redeem my sister. ”
"Ransom your sister?" Xia Tongfu stared at Wu Yong with a disdainful expression and said, "Are you rich?"
"There are more than 400,000!"
"More than 400,000 yuan, you want to ransom your sister? Lao Tzu spent two million on you, and you personally mortgaged your sister to me. Xia Tongfu had an impatient expression.
Wu Yong said: "That Boss Xia, I'll give you 400,000 yuan first, and you let my sister go back with me first! I'll find a way to find the remaining 1.6 million." ”
Xia Tongfu sneered a few times and said, "Wu Yong, in fact, you don't have no way. You are a tomb robber, as long as you rob a few more large tombs, it is not easy to get money. ”
"But I swore to my ancestors that I would never rob tombs again!"
Xia Tongfu waved his hand and said, "When will you make up enough two million, and when will you redeem people." Get out of here, don't stain the floor of my house. ”
