Chapter 525: Painting (11/60)

The middle-aged man holding a Buddha statue in his hand listened to Meng Zitao's words and became happy: "Hey, it's reasonable for liars to deceive people, I want to see what kind of unkind method you have!"

"What do you have to say to him, let's do it together!"

After speaking, the man raised a wooden stick in his hand and hit Meng Zitao and them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Meng Zitao's eyes flashed, and with lightning speed, he snatched the wooden stick from the man's hand, and then used both hands to force it, and a wooden stick that was not much thinner than an adult's arm was broken by him.

This situation scared the middle-aged people and the gang, such a fierce man is not easy to provoke.

Meng Zitao sneered: "Do you want to try the taste that this wooden stick 'felt' just now?!"

The middle-aged man was stared at by Meng Zitao, and his heart trembled a little, and he said inwardly: "What's the matter, is it possible that you have cheated the money, and you have become victims." ”

Meng Zitao said lightly: "Didn't you let you explain things clearly?

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Hmph, he just sold a Buddha statue to me, and it turned out to be a fake......

Lu Dongchen interjected: "It's normal to be eye-catching in this market, is it possible to go to the seller to settle accounts after eye-opening, is there such a rule in the antique industry?"

"Can you listen to someone finish talking?"

The middle-aged man said with some dissatisfaction: "I also admit that I am responsible for this matter, but before he said that it was his family's ancestral, but this is obviously a souvenir of the game, what is he not lying?"

Saying that, the middle-aged man turned the Buddha statue over and showed everyone the base of the Buddha statue, only to see that in an inconspicuous place, the words "so-and-so online" were engraved, which was indeed a peripheral product of an online game.

Meng Zitao was a little speechless in his heart, if he wanted him to say, both the buyer and the seller should have problems, but in general, the seller's problem is bigger, after all, the seller in the antique market said that so-and-so thing is an ancestral heirloom, and so-and-so thing is used by the emperor.

Moreover, although this Buddha statue looks a little old, this old and antique are completely different things, and although the material is like copper, it is not copper at all, but some kind of cheap alloy, which can generally be seen by anyone with a little experience.

The buyer doesn't even understand this, and believes the story told by the seller, which is indeed "simple" enough, or too greedy.

At this time, of course, you can't listen to and believe partially, so Lu Dongchen asked the obscene middle-aged man: "Brother Quan, can you also tell me what's going on?"

This middle-aged man's name is Qin Liquan, he is the eldest nephew of Lu Dongchen's mother, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and the relationship between Lu Buchen and this cousin is also very good, so he hurriedly ran over when he saw Qin Liquan being beaten just now.

Qin Liquan took out a tissue to wipe the blood on his face, and then told what happened.

This thing is quite simple to say, Qin Liquan is working as an assistant to a project engineer at a construction site, and when he checked in the construction site two days ago, he accidentally saw this Buddha statue in the mound, and he felt that the Buddha statue was very textured, like a good thing.

In this part of the capital, there are many probabilities of some good things on the construction site, and relevant reports on newspapers and television are not uncommon, Qin Liquan couldn't help but feel a little moved at that time: "Could it be that this is an antique buried in the ground?"

Originally, Qin Liquan planned to come over tomorrow weekend to sell things, but it was not a coincidence, he had other things to be busy on the weekend, so in order to avoid a long night of dreams, he asked the manager for half a day off and came to Panjiayuan, wanting to find someone to sell this "antique".

In order to be afraid that people would despise this thing because of its unknown origin, and in order not to cause trouble, Qin Liquan lied that the Buddha statue was the ancestral heirloom of his family at that time, and opened a starting price of 180,000 yuan, and was finally bought by the middle-aged man in front of him for 20,000 yuan.

I don't want the middle-aged man to take the Buddha statue to a friend to observe, but he found the handwriting under the base of the Buddha statue, and checked it on the Internet with his mobile phone, which is the peripheral product of a certain game in China, which is definitely not an "antique", and Qin Liquan's so-called "ancestral" must be lying.

So, the angry middle-aged man immediately brought someone back to find Qin Liquan and beat him violently, and the scene just now happened.

Speaking of which, Qin Liquan was also unlucky, if he sold his things and left, he would not have appeared in these things, but he was very excited because he got 20,000 yuan for nothing, so he walked around the nearby shops to see if there was anything he liked, and he was found by a group of buyers.

Qin Liquan had no intention of deceiving people, and when he knew the truth, he was also stunned at the time, because he didn't dare to fight back because he lied. On second thought, there were several universities near the construction site, and young people often came and went, and it was likely that someone accidentally dropped it when passing by, and he found it as an antique buried in the earth.

Hearing the reason for the incident, Lu Dongchen also muttered in his heart, feeling that Qin Liquan's brain was not good, and he could obviously ask him to help identify it, which led to the fact that he was beaten by himself now.

As for why Qin Liquan didn't do this, in fact, the reason is very simple, everything is because Qin Liquan picked the door, and knew that he would definitely want to go to Lu Dongchen for identification, bring some gifts or invite him to dinner, but he was reluctant to spend this money, which shows the degree of his picking.

Lu Dongchen was a little unhappy in his heart, so he simply asked, "You say, how to solve this matter?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course, you gave me back my 20,000 yuan." ”

"Huh. Lu Dongchen sneered: "People were beaten by you, and you still want to get all the money back, do you think it's appropriate?"

The middle-aged friend's friend shouted: "What's not suitable, who called him a liar!"

Meng Zitao said: "If you see something wrong, you don't have any responsibility?"

"He said it was ancestral, and I believed it. The middle-aged man didn't care about anything else, he bit himself to believe Qin Liquan's words, and he was wrong, that is, Qin Liquan deliberately deceived people and was wrong, and he deserved to be beaten.

Since this is the case, the two sides will definitely not be able to get along, and the situation will be frozen there.

At this time, the police rushed over when they heard the news and called everyone to the station to solve the problem, and finally under the adjustment of the police, the middle-aged man asked for 15,000 back, and the remaining 5,000 compensated Qin Liquan for the loss of being beaten.

After signing his name on the mediation letter, Qin Liquan returned the 15,000 yuan to the buyer very reluctantly, but he didn't feel that he had suffered much loss, and felt that it was still good to be able to exchange it for 5,000 yuan after being beaten and suffering some flesh wounds.

Coming out of the room, Lu Dongchen said: "Brother Quan, I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up, don't have a problem with your body, it's not good if you delay." ”

Qin Liquan immediately said: "No, no! I think I'm in good health now, why waste that money, and if something goes wrong, it's not like I can't find someone." ”

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, this was clearly a posture of asking for money and not dying, and at this time he also somewhat understood why this kind of thing would happen as Lu Dongchen's relative.

Lu Dongchen knew Qin Liquan's character, and persuaded him a few times to see that he didn't listen, so he stopped being verbose and said goodbye to Qin Liquan.

Seeing that Qin Liquan was still a little elated when he left, Lu Dongchen shook his head: "My cousin's character of dying for money has nothing to say, I hope he won't have anything to do with money in the future." ”

Meng Zitao just smiled slightly, he didn't know what he was talking about.

Nothing happened along the way, and Meng Zitao followed Lu Dongchen's leadership into an antique shop.

This antique shop is not big, and there are not a few things in the store, but Meng Zitao can see that everything here has a glance, and it is still rare to see such a situation.

When the two of them walked into the antique shop, they saw a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking at him with a porcelain pillow.

Teacher Tang raised his head, and since Lu Dongchen had already said it in advance, he greeted with a smile: "Here, this should be your friend Mr. Meng you mentioned earlier, right?"

"Yes. Lu Dongchen smiled and nodded, and Meng Zitao also politely greeted the other party.

After a few words of greeting, Lu Dongchen put his eyes on the porcelain pillow that Mr. Tang had just taken: "This porcelain pillow is a little special." ”

Teacher Tang smiled: "Yes, it's from Luwu Kiln, why don't you take a look at it first?"

Luwu kiln may not be known by too many people, but its other name "Dangyangyu kiln" I believe many porcelain lovers should know, it is also one of the famous folk porcelain kilns in the north.

The utensils burned by this kiln are the most famous for the variety of deception, the ornamentation is fluent and free, and the color with strong contrast between black and white, brown and white is unique, and its artistic appeal is far above the similar decoration of the porcelain kiln of the Cizhou kiln;

Lu Dongchen nodded, and let Meng Zitao appreciate it first.

This porcelain pillow is waist-shaped, with green glaze on the surface, and the glaze texture is soft, lively and transparent. The pillow is in the middle of the window interior, and the words of Zhu Yi of the Song Dynasty are "Dianjiang Lips and Plum".

During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, porcelain pillows were popular to be decorated with poems and songs, reflecting the culture, art and secular customs of a specific era, and the content was very rich. Historical records and archaeological excavations have proved that the porcelain pillows of this period were basically daily utensils, and many of them were unearthed in the residential ruins of ancient cities in the northern Central Plains. This porcelain pillow is one of them.

Judging from Meng Zitao's experience, judging from the performance of porcelain pillows in all aspects, it should be a masterpiece of Dangyangyu kiln, which is relatively rare.

After the two of them looked at it one after another, Mr. Tang asked with a smile, "What do you think of this porcelain pillow?"

"It's good, but I'm not interested in it. Lu Dongchen shrugged his shoulders.

Teacher Tang smiled: "Xiao Lu, it's not me preaching, I think your collection can be opened a little more, there is no need to only collect the artifacts of the official kiln, and you can start when you encounter good folk kiln works." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Dongchen has a habit of collecting porcelain, he only accepts the works of the five famous kilns and the official kilns of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and no matter how good the other things are, he has no idea of starting.

In fact, Lu Dongchen's collection concept is also very common in society, and the collection of folk kiln porcelain has never been valued by collectors. There are many books on the market about porcelain collection, basically teaching people how to collect official kiln porcelain and famous kiln porcelain, few collection books to guide people to collect folk kiln porcelain, and even some books openly advocate that folk kiln porcelain can not be collected.

I heard Mr. Tang continue: "Indeed, the official kiln porcelain concentrates the best potters, the best ingredient masters, the best embryo drawing masters, the best glazing masters, the best kiln masters, and the best painting masters, and they do not hesitate to work and strive for perfection, so they have fired the official kiln porcelain with exquisite craftsmanship." ”

However, the official kiln also has the shortcomings of the official kiln, for example, in terms of artistry, it is stipulated that only that kind of pattern can be used, and there can be no variation, which undoubtedly stifles the creativity of the painter. On the porcelain of the folk kiln, we can often see many large opening and closing, swaying freely, vivid and energetic paintings. ”

"So when we encounter good folk kiln works, we can at least collect them from the perspective of appreciation, besides, there are a number of works from famous kilns and official kilns after all, and the current market price is also outrageous, and the average person can't afford the official kiln alone. Of course, if you're big, then I'm not going to say it. ”

Lu Dongchen said with a smile: "Teacher Tang, I know your good intentions, but well, I won't be able to change this concept for a while, let's talk about it in the future." ”

Teacher Tang smiled slightly and didn't say anything, and then looked at Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, what do you think?" Of course, I don't mean to force you to buy, if you are interested, you can buy it, and if you are not interested, forget it." ”

Meng Zitao can see that this porcelain pillow is at least not unearthed recently, and he is not like Lu Dongchen, as long as the things are good, he likes both the private kiln and the official kiln.

"Mr. Tang, please ask for a price. ”

"You are Xiao Lu's friend, I'll give you a real price, how about this number?" Mr. Tang gestured with his hand, meaning 20,000 yuan.

With the current market situation, 20,000 yuan is still relatively cheap, and Meng Zitao agreed without much bargaining.

After completing the transaction, Mr. Tang drove the two of them to an urban village in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, and when Meng Zitao got out of the car, he saw that there were some houses around with demolition written on them, and it was estimated that it would not be long before this place would be demolished.

The houses here are basically bungalows, and the residents here are very messy, and the people who pick up the rags are basically people at the bottom of the society.

They didn't get out of the car for a few steps, and someone surrounded them and sold them all kinds of things, such as mobile phones, watches, bicycles, etc., just like the plot of a movie.

Teacher Tang drank these people away loudly, and then told the two of them that the things these people sold were basically dirty goods or problematic things, which did not surprise the two of them.

Under the leadership of Mr. Tang, everyone followed a nine-bend and eighteen-bend alley, came to a low bungalow, he went up three times, knocked on the door five times, and after a while, a dark-skinned, bald man estimated to be less than one meter six came and opened the door.

When the bald man saw Meng Zitao and Lu Dongchen, his eyes were full of suspicion.

Teacher Tang said lightly: "Don't worry, when have I ever cheated you, these two are my friends and collectors." ”

The bald man had a somewhat flattering smile on his face: "What you said, even if I don't believe my parents, I will definitely believe you." How many of you are in it, please ......"

The bald man led everyone into the hall, the environment was very poor, there was basically no light in the room, and there was no ventilation, as soon as he came in, he smelled a strange smell, and the lights were not very bright, not much better than fireflies.

The bald man asked everyone to sit down first, and he didn't pour tea for everyone, so he went into the house to get something, but even if he poured tea, everyone probably wouldn't be able to drink it.

After a while, the bald man came out of the back room with a black package, and he opened the package, revealing three things, a porcelain, a shabby-looking scroll of calligraphy and painting, and a piece of jade.

Teacher Tang glanced at these three things and asked, "Just these three things?"

The bald man smiled and said, "There were still a few things, but they were taken away last night, but don't worry, these three things are the best of them." (To be continued.) )
