"I think it's about the same, but this Chen Yinsheng's Lanting preface ······" Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao, "That's why I didn't dare to accept it directly." ”

Chen Yinsheng's representative works of engraved copper calligraphy are the Orchid Pavilion Preface and the Teacher's Table.

Of course, he must have engraved more than one of these two articles. But Chen Yinsheng was very famous in the late Qing Dynasty, and his engraved copper cartridge was even as famous as Chen Mansheng's purple clay pot back then, known as the double beauty of the Beijing play world. Therefore, Chen Yinsheng's copper ink cartridge should not be imitated too much, especially the calligraphy engraved copper of these two articles.

"What is the price you negotiated?" asked Yu Yao.

"Twenty thousand. I told the next family about 150,000, but that kid suddenly said that he could only give 50,000!"

"What you say, I think it's not very likely to be genuine? But don't go and see it, I'm not reconciled!"

Chen Yinsheng's copper ink cartridge, if it is engraved with a genuine article full of Lan Pavilion preface, how can it be worth about 200,000 yuan. And Chen Yinsheng is so famous, it is unlikely that the seller will not know, even if he is not a person in the antique circle, he must check the payment, right?

"That's why I rode a donkey to minimize the risk. "Pu Jie, hehe.

"You calculated it, and others are not stupid, so he repented. Yu Yao then asked, "Who is the owner of the goods?"

"It's an old lady who lives alone. ”

"In this way, it seems that there is another leak. ”

"I'll tell you, I didn't even bargain! She quoted 20,000 yuan, so I said that I would think about it and give a reply today at the latest, and I would go directly to this price. ”

"You're still embarrassed to bargain?"

"This old lady's business was introduced to me by a friend of my father. She has two sons and a daughter, but the three rabbit cubs don't do anything else except loot the old lady's pension, and the old lady is very good, saving her own food, but she also sponsors an out-of-school child. ”

"Your uncle, you're full of twists and turns, and you're about to catch up with that birthday poem!" Yu Yao exclaimed, "Isn't it a little embarrassing to pick up a little bit of a leak now?"

"What birthday poem? Tang Bohu, 'This mother-in-law is not a person'?"

"Well, it's this one, but there are also people who say Ji Xiaolan, and the folklore is not easy to study. But in that sense, you've brought me several waves too!"

This birthday poem is indeed a typical wave-like elegiac poem. It is said that Ji Xiaolan celebrated the birthday of his friend's mother, and was asked to congratulate him on the spot, and he came up with a sentence: This mother-in-law is not a person.

The audience was shocked. As a result, the second sentence is: The Nine Heavens Fairy descends to the earth. The reversal is huge, but it is reasonable, and everyone is applauding.

The third sentence is reversed again: All children and grandchildren are thieves! The hearts of everyone at this scene are estimated to be unbearable, but in the end, it ended perfectly: stealing a peach and offering it to its mother!

"Whew, I'm answering this purely based on what you asked. Pu Jie took out his mobile phone, "Don't say it, I'll call the old lady!"

Hanging up the phone, Pu Jie beckoned, "Let's go!"

The place is not far away, it is the family home of Dongjiang Normal University, this old lady's surname is Li, she was a logistics worker of Normal University before retirement, and her wife has passed away for several years.

When I got to the door, I rang the doorbell and opened the door, and Mrs. Li looked about seventy years old, with a clean head and a clean face, and she was dressed plainly but decently.

"Xiao Pu come in and come on!" Mrs. Li said softly and smiled.

Entering the door, Mrs. Li poured water while asking, "Who is this young man?"

"This is my boss, Boss Yu. Pu Jie said with a big grin, "In the end, he has to palm his eyes!"

"Teacher Li, call me Xiaoyu. Don't listen to his nonsense, we are small. Yu Yao was called so because she had worked at the Normal University, although she was not a teacher, "You are busy, we are not thirsty." ”

"If you're not thirsty, sit down and drink a glass of water. ”

Mrs. Li put two glasses of water on the coffee table, and beckoned Yu Yao and Pu Jie to sit down on the sofa, "You guys wait, I'll go get something." ”

Because Pu Jie had called in advance, Mrs. Li quickly brought it over and put it on the coffee table.

This is a square copper cartridge, which is well preserved, with a white copper shell, which is very moist, and the black traces in the lettering are also relatively natural.

On the lid of the box is a full pavilion body small Kailan Pavilion preface, and the inscription is: Gengchen year twilight spring Yin was engraved. The time of the inscription coincides with the "twilight spring" in the preface of the Orchid Pavilion.

After Yu Yao looked at the appearance, he opened it again and looked at it. The copper liner is mostly jet black, with only a few mottles revealing the copper.

This white copper cartridge is not big, with a side length of about ten centimeters, and Yu Yao holds it in his hand, which feels very comfortable.

After reading it, Yu Yao couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Li, and then Mrs. Li smiled, "This white copper cartridge was left by my wife, and it is not an ancestral heirloom, it was bought by him when he visited the market in the eighties." I don't understand either, but my wife said it was a good thing, and if I wanted to sell it in the future, it couldn't be cheap. ”

"Does the old gentleman like antiques?" asked Yu Yao.

"No, he used to be a teacher, a propaganda post, and he likes to dance and write, so he is more concerned about the things in the study. ”

"Then how did you set this price, didn't you find someone to look at it?" Yu Yao asked again.

"I've looked for it, I've found an old colleague from before, he knows a little bit about antiques, and he said that he can't miss 20,000. ”

The old lady spoke very truthfully, and Yu Yao thought for a while, "Mr. Li, although I am young, I have been studying antiques for a long time, so I will tell you the truth, do you think?"

"Xiaoyu, you say, I think you are also a kind person. ”

"Chen Yinsheng is a master of copper engraving in the late Qing Dynasty, and the price of this cartridge, if it is Chen Yinsheng's own work, can be increased tenfold. ”

Mrs. Li's face changed, "Two hundred thousand?"

"Yes. Yu Yao paused, "However, this is not the real thing. Don't worry, listen to me. ”

Although Yu Yao reminded her at the end, Mrs. Li still couldn't help but say "Huh?"

Yu Yao immediately explained, "But, this white copper cartridge, the material and craftsmanship are very good, and although it is an imitation, it is also an old imitation, roughly from the Tongguang period in the late Qing Dynasty, oh, it is the Tongzhi Guangxu period, because Chen Yinsheng mainly began to engrave copper from this period, and died in the early days of the Republic of China." ”

"What's the value?" said Mrs. Li looked at Yu Yao.

"The value is roughly what you quoted, but I'll have to explain it to you. Because you said that you have found someone to read it, it seems that he is a knowledgeable person, and he can see that it is an old imitation, and if it is a new imitation, two thousand is not worth it. ”

"Then can you still take it?"

"Yes. And since Pu Jie has agreed with you, then this price, words count. Yu Yao nodded.

Mrs. Li said, "But you are in the antique business, are you not profitable at this price?"

Most of the business in the antique shop is full of cunning and deceit, like Mrs. Li's pure kindness, Yu Yao is really a little uncomfortable for a while.
