Chapter 7 The road is narrow
The moment he walked into the door, Jiang Fan seemed to see a new world.
The flow of people and traffic is overwhelming, and the smell of money and the fragrance of antique calligraphy and painting are perfectly integrated.
In front of Jiang Fan's eyes was a lively antique market.
"Hehe, isn't it strange why this antique market is open here, not in the downtown area?" Gu Xuyang said with a smile, "We often go to the antique market almost can't find real goods, so it's not easy to find treasures, it's different here, although there are a lot of fakes, but if you have good eyesight and good luck, you can still make some money for wine." ”
Jiang Fan smiled faintly, he never drank flower wine, but he understood Gu Xuyang's intentions.
Jiang Fan and Gu Xuyang are the best buddies and have nothing to say, but since they are the best buddies, there are some things that they can't say.
This is not a contradiction, though.
The scene at school this morning made Gu Xuyang see the relationship between Jiang Fan and the eldest lady of the Su family, Gu Xuyang himself is a rich second generation, he knows very well that if Jiang Fan deals with such a top-level Bai Fumei, he must have money in hand, otherwise even if he breaks into the circle of others, he will not be recognized by the people in the circle.
But Gu Xuyang would not say this kind of thing, because it would hurt the feelings between the brothers.
Jiang Fan didn't care, he just patted Gu Xuyang's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother, I need money recently." ”
"Hahaha! If you say that, then I don't need to hide it!" After Gu Xuyang laughed loudly, he grabbed Jiang Fan's wrist and said, "Let's go, take you to meet a cowman, he is an expert in calligraphy and painting, let this kid help you get some money in a while!"
Jiang Fan didn't make a sound, but also smiled and walked to the calligraphy and painting area with his brother.
……
The scale of the underground store is very staggering, with thousands of square meters of calligraphy and painting area alone, and it is a mixed place for literati, collectors and swindlers.
Gu Xuyang sent WeChat as he walked, and it didn't take long for him to come to a relatively secluded corner.
At this time, Jiang Fan saw a tall and thin young man.
This person looks three or two years older than Jiang Fan, he is quite handsome, and he is wearing a robe that does not match this era, giving people a very abrupt feeling.
However, it goes well with the style of the store.
"What kind of shape, it's very chic! Brother Zigao!" Gu Xuyang teased each other as soon as they met.
Brother Zigao smiled slightly: "Haha Xuyang, isn't my brother's clothes angry? This is an old thing I just spent three thousand oceans to buy!"
Just when Brother Zi Gao and Gu Xuyang were chatting, Jiang Fan felt that Brother Zi Gao was a little strange, and others might not be able to see it, but Jiang Fan saw that the shadow behind Brother Zi Gao was a little hideous, but his face was pale, as if he had some disease.
However, Jiang Fan only thought about it for a moment, and then decided to hide his thoughts in his heart for the time being.
Now, it's not the time to say it, he and Brother Zi are not familiar with each other.
……
At this time, Gu Xuyang said: "Brother Yang, let's stop talking nonsense, let me introduce you, this is my most iron brother, Jiang Fan." ”
Brother Zigao suddenly smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand at Jiang Fan: "You are Jiang Fan, I always heard Xuyang mention you, you are very righteous." ”
"Yang Zigao, with my most iron brother, don't look at the two of us have only known each other for a year, he is interesting enough!" Gu Xuyang smiled, "When I didn't have money to drink flower wine, he invited me." ”
Jiang Fan smiled faintly, and immediately shook hands with Yang Zigao.
Jiang Fan suddenly felt Yang Zigao's hand feel cold, and it seemed that something was surging in his veins.
Jiang Fan said quietly: "Brother Yang, let's get together often in the future." ”
"This is a must!" Yang Zigao said, "I like to make friends the most, if you are free this weekend, come to my house, let's drink tea and paintings, and then go to drink flower wine......"
Jiang Fan's heart was slightly cold: Brother, you are like this, don't drink flower wine first.
"Okay, Lao Yang, let's be serious, don't always be a flower and wine, Jiang Fan is pure, don't take people badly!" Gu Xuyang said, "Make some skills in a while, pick out a real product, let's sit on the ground and share the spoils!"
Yang Zigao smiled heartily: "This is not a matter, when we get the money, we will go to drink flower wine." ”
“……”
……
The underground store is called the Providence Store, and it is a very magical place.
Here, after buying good things from the vendors, you can auction them on the spot, and 5% of the auction proceeds go to the store, and the remaining 95% goes to the seller.
Yang Zigao is the son of Yang Denghuai, a master of calligraphy and painting, although his painting skills are far inferior to his father, but his ability to appreciate antique calligraphy and painting is very strong.
Therefore, when he was in high school, he no longer looked for pocket money at home, and when he had no money, he went to the antique street to Taobao, and when he found the real thing, he sold it for money, and then went to Taobao when he ran out of money.
Today, Yang Zigao took his two brothers to walk around the calligraphy and painting area for a long time, and finally stopped in an inconspicuous corner.
This is a very ordinary-looking calligraphy and painting stall, and it is far from being as beautifully decorated as the surrounding stalls, and there are not many calligraphy and paintings on display inside, most of which are known to discerning people at a glance that they are fakes.
Yang Zigao looked at the booth for a long time, and hesitated for a while.
"He's got a good thing. Gu Xuyang said to Jiang Fan in a low voice.
Jiang Fan nodded slightly, in fact, he also fell in love with a painting, but he just didn't know if this painting was Yang Zigao's favorite.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and took off the largest pair of Ten Thousand Buddha pictures in the store.
In this painting, there are at least dozens of Buddhist monks, all with vivid and delicate expressions, showing the artist's extraordinary painting work, and the few lines at the end of the scroll are strong and powerful, and the pen is like a god.
"Hey, it's a pity!" Yang Zigao was so anxious that he was speechless, there was no doubt that he had fallen in love with this painting, but he was the first to get it.
And the person holding the painting glanced at Yang Zigao, and couldn't help sneering: "Yo, isn't this Brother Zigao?"
When Yang Zigao looked at the man, he was so angry that his face turned red.
Because Jiang Fan was on the side, Yang Zigao was embarrassed to attack, so he could only clench his fists.
Jiang Fan glanced at the man.
The man was very short, a little obscene, and about the same age as Yang Zigao.
Seeing him, Jiang Fan felt a little familiar...... He couldn't help asking, "Brother Yang, who is this person?"
"Brother, do you know Liu Fengkai?" Yang Zigao said coldly, "He is Liu Fengkai's son Liu Yuming." ”
Jiang Fan suddenly understood that Liu Fengkai was the master of Zhang Zixiu, who had previously compared painting with him at Su Aoxue's coming-of-age ceremony.
Dad is a bear bastard, Liu Fengkai is not a good thing, and his son looks ugly and evil.
"Brother Yang, what's the matter with you and him?" Jiang Fan asked.
"The relationship between our fathers is very poor, my dad and his dad are competitors, this generation, hehe, is not much better. Yang Zigao said, "Jiang Fan, Xuyang, let's ignore him, let's go." ”
Just when Yang Zigao was about to leave, a handsome little white face came across from him, stopped him at once, and said with a malicious smile: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, Brother Zigao, your appreciation ability is not ordinary, come and see if this painting is real or fake!"
This person, Jiang Fan is more familiar with, it is Zhang Zixiu.
When Zhang Zixiu saw Jiang Fan, he was stunned.
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, and Zhang Zixiu was suddenly angry.
More than half a month ago, he bullied Jiang Fan in front of hundreds of celebrities in Tianzhou, but was slapped in the face by Jiang Fan in public, and he had lost face, and after returning home, he was scolded by his father, he had the heart to kill Jiang Fan, and when he saw Jiang Fan here today, of course he would not let Jiang Fan go.
What's more, Jiang Fan was with another enemy of his own.
This enemy is Yang Zigao.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and the enemy of the friend is, of course, the enemy.
Zhang Zixiu used to like to bully Yang Zigao with Liu Yuming, and today he can't let go of this opportunity.
At this time, Gu Xuyang couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Jiang Fan, I'm good at fighting, I definitely can't do it now, it's too low, but seriously, these two bastards have higher attainments in calligraphy and painting than me and Lao Yang." ”
Jiang Fan remained silent, just smiled slightly, but his eyes focused on the corner of this very inconspicuous calligraphy and painting stall.
Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't speak, Gu Xuyang became even more anxious: "Brother, the soft knife kills people the most disgusting, these two bastards like to bully people like this the most, we can't let him bully, ignore them, withdraw!"
At this time, Jiang Fan finally spoke: "You don't need to withdraw, just slap them in the face." ”
"This ...... It's impossible!" Gu Xuyang suddenly felt a little helpless, he admitted that when he saw his good brother again after the start of school, he already felt that he had changed a lot, but it was impossible to ascend to the sky so quickly and become an all-rounder.
And Yang Zigao was also a little uneasy, and suddenly grabbed the corner of Jiang Fan's clothes, and said: "They are faster than me today, and they have found a treasure, they will definitely come over to show off with me, let's just ignore him, brother!"
Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "The treasure they found is a fake, but the craftsmanship is not bad, and a thousand yuan is still okay." ”
Jiang Fan didn't take Liu and Zhang in his eyes, and he spoke unscrupulously, and his words happened to be heard by the two people and many people around him.
At this time, Zhang Zixiu and Liu Yuming looked at each other, and suddenly sneered: "Brother Jiang Fan, I gave you a slight advantage that day, because I didn't want you to be embarrassed for the first time you participated in such a high-level banquet, why did you speak so unceremoniously today? Did I give you face?"
Obviously, Zhang Zixiu was already planning to tear his face with Luo Fei.
"I'm sorry, I was a big win that day. Jiang Fan said lightly, "It's best not to show off here with our brothers today, after all, it's boring to buy a fake and show off." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper also came over, he looked Jiang Fan up and down, and suddenly said angrily: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you don't look at what kind of place this is, and you don't take a closer look at this painter!"
Liu Yuming took the painting and looked complacent: "Boy, if you don't understand, get out of the way, don't follow Lao Yang to make a fool of yourself, Lao Yang is my defeated general, you ask him, as long as I am here, which time is he faster than me?"
