"I said Lang Jie, you are either a Shatush shawl or a painting by Tang Bohu today, what are you doing, okay, let's change it to another lot. ”

Old man Xie didn't photograph the cash cow, obviously not in a good mood, and broke the silence in the tent with his words.

"Ahem...... cough, Boss Xie, if you want to see something, this Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture", although it is not Tang Bohu's authentic work, but the level of imitation is still very good, and it is worth collecting and playing. ”

Lang Jie coughed dryly twice, and explained, in fact, he also knew that this so-called Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture" was fake and could not be fake, not to mention how the painting work, from the shaft rod of this scroll, it can be seen from the paper that the age must not reach the Qing Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is an imitation of the Republic of China.

It's just that this painting was sent with the cash cow at that time, and the seller wanted to package and sell it, and the two items were added together, 20,000 yuan, and the discount of this painting was 5,000 yuan, but the origin of the painting was not clear to the seller, as if it was not from the tomb, but from whose house the man's subordinates came out of when they were stealing chickens and dogs.

In Lang Jie's eyes, this painting is worth a thousand or eight hundred, but since he has already taken out the money, he might as well put it out and shoot it, in case there is a big unjust price in it, then the money is also made in vain.

After hearing Lang Jie's words, the old man who came with him next to Old Man Xie walked forward suspiciously, put on a pair of white gloves, and unfolded the scroll with a young man at the table, just glanced at it with a magnifying glass, shook his head again and again, and walked back.

"Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu", the starting price is 3000 yuan RMB, you can come forward to take a look, the picture of a beautiful lady, hanging at home is still very good, you may not know, this Li Duanduan is a person, that is Tang Bohu points to Qiuxiang, the prototype of Qiuxiang, it can be said that it is well-founded, and the inheritance is orderly. ”

Seeing that no one was interested in this painting, Lang Jie was very entangled in his heart and lowered the purchase price by 2,000 yuan, shouted out the starting price, and explained the allusion of this painting, hoping that Boss Ma could be generous again and accept this painting.

However, the fat man seemed to have not heard Lang Jie's words, and he was laughing with the bewitching girl next to him, and he didn't answer Lang Jie's words at all.

"Li Duanduantu" is painted by Tang Bohu, and it is not wrong to inherit it in an orderly manner, but this painting has been treasured in the Forbidden City since before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and then I don't know whether it was brought to Manchuria by Puyi, or taken out of the country by those old and young, so many years, there has been no appearance, and it has become a mystery, there is one in the Nanjing Museum, but it is said that it is also a fake imitated by later generations, and it is very controversial. There was a conversation next to Zhuang Rui.

"Uncle Li, you haven't even seen it, how do you know it's fake, what if it's true?"

The young man brought by the middle-aged man surnamed Li asked, Zhuang Rui also had this question in his heart, and couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.

"The is really, if it can really be auctioned in the capital or Hong Kong, as for taking it out in the black market, besides, this kid Langjie is famous for being a thief, if it is true, he will sell it for 3,000 yuan? ”

That Boss Li said with disdain on his face, but he admired Lang Jie's eyesight in his words.

Although he said that, this Boss Li still stood up and walked to the table to take a look, but after reading it, he shook his head again and again, sat back in the chair and said nothing.

Lang Jie waited for a long time, and saw that no one was interested in this painting anymore, and he didn't care much about it, he originally took it out to fool the fat boss, but now the auction is unsuccessful, which is also expected, so he said: "Since everyone is not interested in this painting, let's move on to the next lot, and the next lot is ......."

"Wait a minute, Boss Langjie, let me take a look at this painting, if the imitation is not bad, let's also take it home and hang it in the house." ”

Before Lang Jie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui also stood up, holding the little white lion in his arms, and walked towards the square table in the middle of the tent.

After the people in the tent heard Zhuang Rui's words, some of them were mocking, and some were disdainful, and it was estimated that they all regarded Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan as good children in their hearts.

"It's all fake, what do you think this thing is doing, it's panicked to buy it back and wipe your butt. ”

Liu Chuan didn't hold Zhuang Rui, and muttered uncleanly, listening to the people in the tent, their disdain for these two people deepened a little.

Zhuang Rui had already walked to the square table with "Li Duanduantu" at this moment, and others looked at him as usual, as if he really wanted to see it, anyway, thousands of yuan were not put in the eyes of everyone, this person wanted to buy it back and hang it at home, so naturally he would follow him, but he just delayed the time for auctioning the next object, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

It's just that no one can see that under Zhuang Rui's calm appearance, his heart is like a turbulent sea, tumbling endlessly, if it weren't for Zhuang Rui's character has always been very calm, I'm afraid that he would inevitably lose his temper just now and be seen by others.

Originally, Zhuang Rui didn't have any interest in this painting, but after hearing the evaluation of Boss Li, he didn't even have the mind to check it with aura, but the first antique he identified with aura was calligraphy and painting, and he also had some good feelings about calligraphy and painting antiques in his heart.

It's just that after seeing this glance, Zhuang Rui almost fell off the chair, for no other reason, because this painting contains an extremely rich aura, more than any antique he has seen before, and Wang Shizhen's manuscript can't be compared.

Although Zhuang Rui didn't know the origin of the aura in these objects, after absorbing the aura before and understanding the origin of those objects, he found that the amount of aura was directly related to the age of these items, and the color of these aura was not the same.

The color of the aura in the cash cow just now is purple, the color of the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes is the same, the purple is a little red, and the color of the aura in Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu", which is considered by everyone to be a fake, is also purple, but the color is slightly lighter, presumably not as old as the bronze cash tree of the Han Dynasty.

Like the "Liansheng" couplet absorbed in Pengcheng, Zhuang Rui can still remember that it seems to be white, and Wang Shizhen's manuscript has some yellow, as for the red sandalwood root carving, it is yellow with purple, and the colors are not the same, but Zhuang Rui is still handling too few antiques, and there is no way to refine and classify them.

But this Tang Bohu's painting scroll, Zhuang Rui judged by the color of its aura, it should be genuine, although he didn't understand in his heart, why so many experts in the field were not optimistic about this painting scroll, but Zhuang Rui still chose to believe in his eyes, so he said that he wanted to come up and take a closer look.

Although he didn't care much about this scroll, Lang Jie's businessman nature still made him let his subordinates unfold the scroll and let Zhuang Rui take a closer look, but Zhuang Rui's performance was really a bit amateur, neither holding a magnifying glass nor wearing gloves in his hands, but his hands did not touch the scroll, and Lang Jie did not say anything.

"Young man, isn't it just a few thousand yuan, what do you see, don't ink here, buy it back and read it slowly if you like." ”

The old man Xie below shouted at Zhuang Rui impatiently, Zhuang Rui didn't say anything, but made Liu Chuan angry, and immediately stood up and said: "Old guy, don't rely on the old and sell the old there, the master doesn't eat your set, let's practice if you don't get angry, I'm not afraid of others saying that I don't respect the old and love the young." ”

Liu Chuan's temper was not much better than this old man, and he had endured this old man for a long time, and he was glanced at by him as soon as he entered the tent, and now he heard that he arranged Zhuang Rui again, but he couldn't help but explode.

As the saying goes, those who are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of dying, although the old man Xie is quite horizontal, but when he met Liu Chuan, he didn't dare to speak, and he "hummed" in his mouth and stopped talking.

"Dachuan, don't say a few words, this old man is also talking about it, something worth thousands of dollars is not worth inking, Boss Langjie, just thank the boss for this sentence, I want this painting, you put it away for me." ”

Zhuang Rui's appearance at this time, as if he was squeezed by the old man Xie and couldn't pull his face down, he didn't look carefully at all, he went up and glanced at it, and then decided to buy it, Lang Jie saw the situation just now, and didn't want to have more branches, so he quickly put away the painting, and also attached a fishing rod holster, put the painting shaft in, and handed it to Zhuang Rui.

Zhou Rui also ordered three thousand yuan below at this time, delivered the goods with one hand and paid the money with the other, and the two sides were clear, Zhuang Rui seemed very calm in this process, until he sat back on the chair, Zhuang Rui's face showed a trace of excitement, but at this time, the people in the tent paid attention to the things that were going to be auctioned below, but no one paid attention to Zhuang Rui.

"Wood, is this broken painting real?"

Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui have known each other for so many years, and the change in the expression on Zhuang Rui's face naturally can't escape his eyes.

"I can't say exactly, but I feel that this portrait is real, anyway, it's only 3,000 yuan, and I bought it. ”

Zhuang Rui's voice was very low, and only Liu Chuan and Zhou Rui, who were sitting beside him, heard it.

Although Zhou Rui didn't know much about antiques, but after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, his face showed a look of disapproval, he didn't believe Zhuang Rui's words very much, with Zhuang Rui's age and experience in the industry, his eyesight would be higher than those old foxes?

Just now, everyone thought that Zhuang Rui didn't look at this painting carefully, but they didn't know that Zhuang Rui had already seen the mystery in this painting, and also understood why so many people regarded this painting as a fake, but Zhuang Rui had no way to explain to Liu Chuan and Zhou Rui that if Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu" saw the light of day again, it was estimated that Song Jun would need Song Jun's help to do so.

"The following items to be auctioned are a set of gold artifacts used daily by the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty......"

The auction presided over by Lang Jie is still ongoing, but Zhuang Rui's mind at the moment has all been placed on the scroll in his hand, recalling what he saw just now, and he can't wait to end the auction now, go back to the hotel and take a closer look, now that the hanging scroll has not been opened, he can't really see it with aura.

Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture", on the surface, the picture depicts a total of five people.

In the center of the picture sits a scholar wearing a Wensheng scarf and a mustache, his facial expression and sitting posture all show his elegant bearing and demeanor. On both sides of the black desk on the left side are the master's maidservants, one wearing a red skirt and the other a white skirt, with bright colors and layers.

On the right is a visitor, a young lady holding a white peony, with an elegant posture and a touching attitude, and behind her is a retinue maid. The four women surround the master, like the stars holding the moon, highlighting the importance and status of the master. The background is a large screen of mountains and rivers, and the inscription above is a poem: "Li Duanduan in Shanhe Fang, the letter is able to walk white peony." Who believes in Yangzhou Jinman City, the price of rouge is poor and sour. ”

Strictly speaking, in Zhuang Rui's "Li Duanduan Picture", the demeanor of the characters in the painting looks very dull, the lines of the characters' clothes are not smooth enough, and the paper is very clumsy, and the paper is actually cooked paper.

Raw rice paper, also known as raw paper, is used directly after production, with water absorption and strong ink wetting, and is strongly used for splashing ink painting and freehand painting. The brushstrokes are clear, dry, wet, thick, light, changeable, from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China in the more than 500 years, calligraphers and painters use, most of them are raw paper, cooked rice paper is made of raw rice paper after adding alum, calendering, dragging, powdering, dark color, sprinkling gold, waxing, sizing and other processes, calligraphy and painting is not easy to go ink smudge, suitable for Kaili calligraphy, and this paper will leak and crack after a long time, plus cooked paper will cover up the style of ink painting, so in that era, calligraphers and painters are ashamed of using cooked paper, this alone is enough for everyone to judge the authenticity of this painting。

But as far as Zhuang Rui is concerned, he doesn't know what cooked paper is now, and he can't appreciate anything wrong with the figure form in this painting, what Zhuang Rui's eyes see is that behind this surface sprinkled with gold paper, there is a thin rice paper painting, and the aura he senses is completely contained in that painting.

This painting should be divided into three layers, the most superficial layer is the "Li Duanduantu" painted on cooked paper, and the second layer is the "Li Duanduantu" painted with raw rice paper after the first layer of painting, there are seven or eight bell seals on it, because the cooked paper is relatively thick, and the air permeability is also very poor, it is completely impossible to see that there is something else below from the surface.

If Zhuang Rui has a little understanding of the pasting technique, he can see that the pasting of this painting is definitely from the hands of a famous artist, the skill is very superb, and the framing technique used is also very famous.

Because this person not only hid the real painting behind the fake painting, but also used the "Li Duanduan Picture" on the fake painting to cover up the red bell marks that were easy to reveal on the real painting seamlessly, but he just made this painting so fake that people lost interest at a glance.

In the history of Chinese antiques, there have been four or five prosperous periods, and along with the prevalence of these antiques, there are a large number of fakes and imitations, and even some famous artists have made fake and old.

But there are also some people, in order to protect the treasures in their hands, and make real paintings into fake paintings, this Tang Bohu's painting is like this, and this person's framing skills are extremely skillful, I am afraid that the person who originally collected this painting does not know the clues, otherwise, it will definitely be properly preserved, and it will not end up in this black market auction house.

"Okay, here is the last lot of today, the Tang Dynasty Sancai Horse, the starting price is 50,000 RMB, if you are interested, you can come up and have a look. ”

Just when Zhuang Rui was in a trance, this black market auction was also carried out to the end, and three more objects were auctioned in the middle, most of which were unearthed from tombs, from which it can also be seen that Langjie's goods channels are probably mostly some "Tufuzi", but his black market auctions, there are relatively few fakes, which is also the reason why it can attract many people who are more famous in the collection world to participate.

The woman in sunglasses just now spent 650,000 yuan to photograph a set of daily gold utensils unearthed from the tomb of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.

And the middle-aged man sitting not far from Zhuang Rui used the price of 380,000 yuan to photograph a rap figurine of the Han Dynasty, although it was a little broken, but Boss Li was still holding it in his arms like a baby, Zhuang Rui glanced at it casually, there is indeed aura in it, but the quality of this rap figurine is too poor, many places are incomplete, and the aura is almost lost, such an object, Zhuang Rui is not eye-catching.

There is also a bronze ancient sword from the Warring States Period, the quality is okay, the wooden handle at the hilt of the sword has all decayed, but the sword body is still cold and shining, the lines are clear, the starting price is not expensive, only 20,000 yuan, Liu Chuan, this kid has taken a fancy to this sword, and he kept raising the price, and in the end, only he and Old Man Xie were left, and in the end, this sword was bought by Old Man Xie at a price of 310,000.

Although Liu Chuan didn't buy it, he still looked proud, and the old man Xie was pale, staring at Liu Chuan vigorously, Zhuang Rui looked funny, these two cows had their tempers bumped together, and it was strange not to make a spark.

Seeing that Lang Jie was working hard to introduce Tang Sancai on the stage, Zhuang Rui also searched for knowledge about Tang Sancai in his mind.

Tang Sancai was produced in the period of Gaozong, when the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, the extravagance of the ruling class also intensified, the dignitaries and dignitaries expected to enjoy the glory and wealth after death, so they always had to bury a large number of treasures and three-color vessels in their own tombs, so that the wind of thick burials became more and more prosperous.

Due to the surge in social demand, the production of three-color ware appeared to be over-developed, the Tang Dynasty had to set up a special agency responsible for management and control, and promulgated regulations to restrict the burial of three-color ware, such as stipulating that the number of funeral goods of officials at all levels is: "more than 90 things (pieces, sets) of more than three grades, more than 60 things of five grades, and more than 40 things of nine grades", and stipulated that the height of various utensils should be within one foot. However, according to archaeological excavations, the number and height of burial artifacts at that time mostly exceeded the regulations. Some of the three-color horses have reached a height of more than 1 meter.

Zhuang Rui read some time ago about the appreciation of the category of books, most of them are calligraphy and painting, but there are also a few antiques that talk about ceramics, including the introduction of Tang Sancai, what he lacks most now is the experience of antiques, there is this opportunity, naturally I want to go up and touch it, and hand over the treasure painting in my hand to Liu Chuan, Zhuang Rui also walked to the table with a group of people.

The Tang Sancai horse on the square table is a Tang Sancai horse, about fifty centimeters high, the front two feet are forked in a figure-eight shape, standing straight, the back two feet are slightly bent, stretching the neck and bowing the head, the decoration craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, the horsehair, the apricot leaf-shaped ornament and the green trim on the saddle are lifelike, and there is also a rectangular base plate of moderate size below, the bottom plate is not very flat, slightly bent and stilted.

Old man Xie and the Jiang general manager in Sichuan looked at it most carefully, if it wasn't for not being touched, they all wanted to put their heads into the horse's mouth, and the fat man of the horse also came up and walked around, it was too huge, and no one gave him a vacant place, so he went back after a circle around the square table.

Zhuang Rui is a layman, he stepped forward to see the excitement, this thing is to study for him for ten days and a half months, if he doesn't rely on the aura in his eyes, he can't tell the ugly and ugly, but looking at the charm of this three-color horse, it doesn't look like it's fake.

After everyone sat back, Lang Jie said loudly: "How do you see it?" This three-color horse, although there are more unearthed, but the charm color and quality craftsmanship of this horse can be called a high-quality work, especially in black, no need for me to say more, everyone also knows its price, the reserve price is 50,000 yuan, and interested friends can shout the price. ”

Tang Sancai's works, quite a bit of the meaning of the wall blossoming outside the wall, in the international auction market, Tang Sancai horse is very sought after, the international Sotheby's auction house once auctioned a Tang Sancai black horse, in London, England for 4.955 million pounds, which created the highest record of Chinese porcelain in the world auction at that time.

In 2004, at the 79th weekend auction held by China Guardian Auction Company, a Tang San Caima returned from overseas was auctioned for 100,000 yuan. Although this is a yellow, brown three-color horse, the price is slightly lower, but compared with foreign auctions, the market is still far behind, so these people should also consider the economic value of their collection.

"Fifty-five thousand dollars. ”

Old man Xie seemed to be a little hesitant, as if he couldn't see it very accurately, but when he saw that no one was bidding, he still shouted out a price.

"60,000 ......"

Someone took the lead in shouting the price, and someone immediately followed the price, and it was the boss Jiang who shouted, he shot several times today, but he returned in vain, and his face was a little unsightly.

"80,000 ......"

It was the woman in sunglasses who shouted the price, when she took the gold just now, it was the man next to her who made the bid, Zhuang Rui heard her voice for the first time, and it seemed that her age was not very old.

"100,000 ......"

Boss Jiang shouted very firmly this time, and seemed to recognize that this was a genuine Tang Sancai, you know, the black and white three-color horse is extremely sought after in the world, and the auction house with a big point goes to auction, and the transaction price is at least more than one million, which refers to the US dollar.

When the price shouted to 200,000, Old Man Xie withdrew a little unwillingly, it was not that he couldn't afford the money, but he couldn't see through this object, it was only worth taking the risk of 200,000, although he was short-tempered, but the gambling was not big.

"I'll give 300,000 ......"

To the surprise of everyone in the tent, Zhuang Rui directly raised the price by 100,000, causing everyone to look at him.
