Hearing Yu Yao ask what the painting was, Xiao Gu's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm ashamed!"

Xiaowen said, "It's the picture of a lady I painted." ”

Yu Yao was puzzled, "What's so shameful about this?"

Xiaowen explained, "She said she was ashamed because this one was the only one that was sold, but there was no author's seal." ”

"Oh!" Yu Yao nodded, "What style?"

"It was a lady in the style of Tang Yin, and later Mr. Tan also arranged for the whole to be old into the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, a collector's stamp has been added. Xiaowen further explained.

"Who's?"

Yu Yaoxin said, this Tan Xinding is indeed very good at "playing", Tang Bohu's "works" are almost all over the street, even if they are imitated well, they are easy to be suspected. It's a good idea to add a collector's stamp instead of a money.

Moreover, it is equivalent to a "certificate of authentication".

The premise is that this collector is also famous and discerning.

"The seal is also from the Ming Dynasty, Tianlai Pavilion, and the inscription indicates that it is identified as a work of Tang Yin. ”

"Tian Lai Pavilion, Xiang Yuanbian?" Yu Yao couldn't help but snort.

Speaking of Xiang Yuanbian, his name in the collection circle is actually no smaller than Tang Bohu. He was a well-known collector in the Ming Dynasty.

Xiang Yuanbian is nicknamed Mo Lin, and some people call him Xiang Mo Lin.

The collection has to have a foundation, and money is definitely an aspect. Xiang Yuanbian's father was very rich, and after his death, Xiang Yuanbian's brother inherited the inheritance. And it was Xiang Yuanbian who inherited the big head, because the other two brothers, one was obsessed with career and the other was obsessed with poetry and calligraphy, and they didn't care much about this.

Because of his family history, Xiang Yuanbian began to collect at the age of 16 and also ran an antique business; at the age of 30, he received a considerable part of the fine works of calligraphy and painting of the Yuan Dynasty; and by the age of 50, a large number of fine works of the Jin, Tang and Song dynasties had been collected in the Tianlai Pavilion.

Today, on many famous paintings and calligraphy works, you can find Xiang Yuanbian's collection seal.

For example, Gu Kaizhi's "Female History", Wang Xizhi's "Looking Forward to the Scroll", Huaisu's "Self-Narrative Post", Li Di's "Snow Tree and Cold Birds", Han Rong's "Five Oxen Picture", Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration Map", ······

Numerous.

Nowadays, some calligraphy and painting works are lying in overseas museums, but the seals of Tianlai Pavilion and Xiang Molin are still there.

Needless to say, Xiang Yuanbian's identification eyesight is known as "distinguishing the truth" and "analyzing the hair", which is unmatched by his contemporaries.

The name of the Tianlai Pavilion is because Xiang Yuanbian once got a guqin, engraved with the word "Tianlai", he loved it very much, so he called his collection Tianlai Pavilion.

Tianlai Pavilion was originally in Jiaxing. In addition to paintings and calligraphy, there are other antique collections.

In the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing soldiers broke through the city of Jiaxing, and the collection of Tianlai Pavilion was looted.

Some of them ended up in the palace, some were scattered, and some were destroyed.

Qianlong was a "fan" of Xiang Yuanbian, and among his collection of paintings and calligraphy, there were a large number of Xiang Yuanbian's old collections; for example, his favorite famous "Orchid Pavilion Preface" (Feng Chengsu's facsimile), which had Xiang Yuanbian's stamp at the end.

"On Tang Yin's works, it is indeed a good idea to use Xiang Yuanbian's collection seal. Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Xiang Yuanbian and Tang Bohu were almost able to be people in the same world, and in the second year after Tang Bohu's death, Xiang Yuanbian was born.

At the same time, Xiang Yuanbian is in the south of the Yangtze River, and has close contacts with calligraphers and painters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, such as Wen Zhengming, who is dozens of years older than him, and has a good relationship with him.

Moreover, Xiang Yuanbian's seal is not difficult to imitate.

Hearing Yu Yao's comments, Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen both nodded.

"Who did you sell it to?" Yu Yao chased again.

"It's also a shop in the Qixingqiao antique market, called Yayuge. ”

"What?" Yu Yao frowned, "Liu Datou······ Boss Liu?"

"Yes!" Xiao Gu was surprised, "You know each other too?"

Yu Yao said in his heart, I know him too well, but he just smiled faintly on the surface, "In the antique circle, if you don't look up and look down, you must know this person." ”

"I went with another classmate at the time, and I'll contact him later to get it back. Xiao Gu Ying said.

"How much did you sell him?" Yu Yao said in his heart, if he wants to take it back from Liu Datou's hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult without a little blood.

"It's not expensive, after all, there is no original author's print, and a few have not been sold, and we want to sell one as soon as possible. Xiao Gu scratched his head, "Moreover, this Boss Liu is quite good at lowering prices······ In the end, it was only sold for 20,000 yuan. ”

Yu Yao sighed. Liu Datou is afraid that he can also see it, but he accepts it, but no matter whether it is true or not, it is the key to be able to get out of the big price.

"You also know that he will lower the price - this Boss Liu, I heard that he is very shrewd, and if he takes it back, I am afraid that 20,000 yuan will not work. Yu Yao looked at Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen, "If you want to take it back smoothly, you have to think about it." ”

"No, I'll add 10,000. Gu gritted his teeth.

"Enough. ”

This Liu Datou is not selling this painting now, not to mention, even if it is not sold, he is ready to sell the estimated price.

Moreover, if he sells and collects like Xiao Gu, Liu Datou will definitely sit on the ground and start the price, not to mention adding 10,000, it is not an exaggeration to say that adding 100,000 is enough.

Xiao Gu observed Yu Yao's expression, "Boss Yu, then how much do you think he will let me take back?"

"It's hard to say, but Liu Datou is a difficult person. ”

"Alas. Yes, when I was selling paintings at that time, I could also see one or two. Xiao Gudao, "Boss Yu, I know, thank you for mentioning it again, let's go back and add it up again." ”

"Hmm. Fortunately, there are roots and doors, and such things may not be easy to sell, so it shouldn't be a big problem to delay for a few days. Yu Yao nodded.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen then took their leave, and Yu Yao sent them out of the door.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen took a few steps, Yu Yao patted his head, shook his head slightly, and then suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

The two stopped and turned around, and then hurried back to the door a few steps, "What's wrong, Boss Yu?"

Yu Yao lowered his voice, "The painting that was sold, I'll help you think of a way, let's contact at any time!"

"Really?" Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen glanced at each other, with surprise on their faces.

Yu Yao nodded, "But I can't guarantee the ticket, but I can help you figure out what a good way to do it!"

"This is already very grateful to Boss Yu. Xiao Gu couldn't help but thank him.

After the two left, Yu Yao returned to the store, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I haven't sorted out my own affairs yet, why are you nosy?"

Before he could finish a cigarette, the door was pushed open again. It was Lao Zhou who came in this time.

"Let's go, let's have a light meal. Lao Zhou said as he walked over.

"What's going on today?

"I just reissued an ID card at the Binjiang Road Police Station, and you are so close to here, so I stopped by. Lao Zhou also lit a cigarette, "It just so happens that there is something to nag you about." ”
