Chapter 103: Taking Medicine or Picking Up Leaks (Part I)
"Yes, I promised to tell you what kind of person Elder Wang is......" Yu Xuan laughed and said, "Let's go, let's talk while eating, this auction has been going on for a few hours, and my stomach is already hungry." ”
Although I entered the venue from half past nine, the appraisal time took about two hours, plus the auction in the middle, it was already half past one in the afternoon, and most of the people in the hall went to the cafeteria after the transaction, except for a few people.
Fang Yi was eating a buffet for the first time, and he didn't know that the things in this restaurant didn't cost anything, at the beginning, he just picked up the cheapest fried rice with green vegetables and put it on a plate, and after hearing Manjun's explanation, he went to get some seafood, but it was only enough for him to eat.
"This young man is quite rustic......"
Seeing Fang Yi's actions, Yu Lao nodded secretly, wanting to see a person's quality clearly, it was not to see what earth-shattering things he had done, but from small things.
"Come, Fang Yi, let me tell you about Wang Lao...... "Modern people don't pay attention to ancient precepts such as food and silence, and after eating seventy percent full, they put down their chopsticks and chatted with Fang Yi.
However, Fang Yi was a person brought by the Manchu army, and Yu Lao just thought that he was doing business with the Manchu army, but he didn't ask Fang Yi's origin, but simply regarded him as a junior who could be promoted.
"You know the name of Wang Lao, his name is Wang Shixiang, he is a famous cultural relics expert, scholar, cultural relics connoisseur, collector in our country, and he is also an ancestor-level figure in the antique miscellaneous category, and the classification of miscellaneous items is considered to be established from his hands......"
When it comes to Wang Shixiang, Yu Xuan is face of admiration, although he has also made some achievements in domestic antiques and miscellaneous, but in front of Wang Shixiang, he can only be regarded as a grandchild, because one of his teachers has studied with Wang Shixiang.
Wang Shixiang is not only a scholar, but also a player, and he has made the "carving insect skills" in the well market on the "Hall of Elegance".
Wang Shixiang plays with a variety of things. There are crickets, pigeons, eagles, badger dogs, wrenching, cooking, fire painting, lacquerware, bamboo carving, Ming-style furniture, etc., and he plays these not for fun, but to really love them, in order to get what he likes. Wang Shixiang traveled long distances, and he also did not hesitate to eat and drink.
The most important thing is that Wang Shixiang can not only play, but also write, he plays with things and researches, he plays with culture, and he plays out a "century of learning". Therefore, Wang Shixiang also has the title of "the first player in the capital".
When he was young when he was studying at Yenching University, he also had a big eagle on his arm or a gnather in his arms to go to school.
Most people in the world will think that since the folk things have a vulgar word, it is not good, but the vulgar things have been played by Wang Shixiang here, and the most valuable thing is that the old man can pay attention to the knowledge of playing, which is different from ordinary players. Not only can he play, but he can also write.
In the past, in the eyes of ordinary people, the eagle lackey fighting cricket was done by idle market gangsters and former children of the Eight Banners, and he described and summarized these things, and these things immediately rose to the level and became a culture.
It can be said that although this thing has existed since ancient times, it has been understood and accepted by modern people. Wang Shixiang can be said to have played a decisive role that cannot be ignored, and anyone in China who has some understanding of literature and miscellaneous items regards Wang Shixiang as the master of the founding of the sect.
So like that cricket gourd, in the eyes of ordinary players, it is also an ordinary object. But it was regarded as a treasure by Yu Xuan, because it was once played with by Wang Lao, and it had a different meaning in Yu Xuan's heart.
"This is really a strange person......" Hearing Yu preach about some of Wang Lao's past, Fang Yi couldn't help but praise it, he has lived a lifetime and played a lifetime, but Wang Lao has lived a real chic.
"Mr. Wang is almost ninety years old this year. But that heart is still the same as a child......"
Referring to this old-timer, Yu Xuan said with a smile: "If there is a chance in the future, I can take you to visit Wang Lao, if you have anything interesting, Wang Lao will definitely treat you as a ...... who forgot about the New Year."
"Okay, Elder Yu, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely take me to visit Elder Wang......"
Fang Yi nodded very seriously, a master of Chinese studies like Wang Lao, at his current age, every sentence contains the truth of life, and he can learn a lot from contact with such an old man.
"Oh, Lao Man, you can still eat after buying so many things today......"
Just when Fang Yi and Yu Lao were chatting, a not very harmonious voice suddenly sounded in their ears, and they followed the reputation, but found that Xie Qingyang didn't know when he came to their table.
"Hmm, Old Yu, are you here too?" Xie Qingyang spoke with his back to Yu Xuan, but when he said this, Yu Xuan turned his face, and he recognized him at a glance.
Seeing Yu Xuan, Xie Qingyang couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, he knew that Yu Xuan was a square person who valued etiquette, and he couldn't look down on those things that his peers were pouring into, but what he just said was a bit too much.
"Well, it's Xiao Xie? You look like a fighting, do you want to talk to Xiao Man?"
Yu Xuan is different from Sun Lianda, he is not considered an academic, and occasionally he will sell a little bit of the collection he bought back, so he is not exclusive to antique dealers, and he also helped Xie Qingyang to see the objects once a few years ago.
But after contact, Yu Xuan felt that Xie Qingyang was too utilitarian, and he was too desperate to do things, and he was a little unforgiving, so after helping Xie Qingyang see things once, he didn't have much contact with this person again.
"Where, where, where can my vision compare to Yu Laoyou, I'm afraid that your gourd has picked up another leak, right?"
Seeing that Yu Lao was sitting at the table of the Manchu Army, Xie Qingyang didn't dare to make a mistake, he knew that Yu Lao liked others to mention the things he picked up the omission, and immediately led the topic to the gourd that Yu Lao was playing with.
"A small leak, it's nothing, it's mainly an elder's thing, I want to keep it......" Xie Qingyang's words really tickled Yu Xuan's itch, and he was a little kinder when he spoke to him.
"Yu Lao's eyes, that is naturally very powerful, Lao Man, I said that you have taken medicine today......" Xie Qingyang's heart is really not very big, and he has not forgotten to sweep the face of the Manchu army again, and he also moved a chair and sat down, seeing that the posture is to sprinkle another salt on the wounds of the Manchu army.
Taking medicine is the jargon in the antique shop, which often means that you have bought a fake or spent a lot of money to buy something worthless.
"Lao Xie, how can you be sure that I am taking medicine?"
Hearing Xie Qingyang talk about himself again in front of Yu Lao, Manjun's face became a little ugly, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose them when you scold people, but Xie Qingyang's small knife and knife were all stabbed at the vital point of Manchu Army.
"You're going to that Yongle Canon, right?" Xie Qingyang showed a sneer on his face and said, "Lao Man, there are at least hundreds of versions of Yongle Canon in our Jinling, right?
The seven or eight rare books on the booth were in good condition, and Xie Qingyang naturally saw it, but like everyone else, he would not think that it was a version left by the Ming Dynasty.
"Isn't it just for Yu Lao to help take a look......" Hearing Xie Qingyang's words, Fang Yi suddenly interjected beside him.
"What's the matter, what are you all looking at me for?" Fang Yi found that after he finished saying this, the side suddenly became deserted, and he couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Fang Yi, how can Elder Yu casually identify objects for others? Don't mention this......
After Man Jun said Fang Yi's words with a flushed face, he turned his face to look at Yu Xuan and said, "Old Yu, don't be surprised, Fang Yi has just entered the industry and doesn't understand the rules......"
A master of Yu Xuan's level, in addition to volunteering to do something for the country, basically rarely accepts private employment, even if it is due to some affection to help people identify something, the appearance fee for that time is also very considerable.
Just like Yu Xuan came to Jinling this time, Su Shilun spent a full 500,000 yuan to invite him, and this price has exceeded Su Shilun's current expenses by ten times, of course, Boss Su's wealth does not care about this star-
