"Put things away and talk about things. Xu Beiwu sat down and took a sip of tea, "The Central Plains is not an outsider, you don't have to have the slightest concern." ”

Lao Hong Yiyan put away his things and sat at the table with Xu Beiwu and Sun Zhongyuan.

After taking a sip of tea, Lao Hong slowly spoke, "Someone asked me to sell this thing, and I made a profit." ”

Sun Zhongyuan listened, how can such a good thing be sold? Profit of 28 cents? Don't say that Lao Hong is divided into three, even if it is divided into one or even less, it is also a business without capital! After all, it is not his thing.

So, there's definitely something going on here.

Xu Beiwu was unfazed, "Who is the main family?"

"I asked an intermediary to find me, and I only saw it once, it was a woman, very beautiful, looking at her face, that is, she was less than thirty years old, but when I looked at it, I was afraid that I had to be forty miles away. Lao Hong pondered as he spoke, "The middleman is an acquaintance of mine who has been doing business for the past few years, and he doesn't want to say much, and he may not know much." ”

"Hmm. Xu Beiwu nodded, "This Yongzheng official kiln string pattern bottle, for nothing, give you thirty percent of the market, don't ask the reserve price, it is estimated to be a lot." Is this trying to make you work?"

"It's not just a good old job. Lao Hong smiled bitterly, "It's for me to uncover one and change two." However, the painting was not given to me, but the porcelain vase was given to me first. ”

Only then did Sun Zhongyuan understand, no wonder Lao Hong didn't know anything about porcelain! He was good at calligraphy and painting! Also, Xuanwu Pavilion couldn't all be porcelain masters, and there had to be someone in this aspect of calligraphy and painting. Moreover, it is normal for people who are proficient in calligraphy and painting to not understand porcelain.

"It's not a small amount of courage, tens of millions of things, dare to put it here for you!" Xu Beiwu said.

"I wrote the receipt of this porcelain vase. At that time, I had a look, but I also had doubts. Lao Hong said, "Twelve o'clock tomorrow is the deadline for Xin'er. Either sell the porcelain vase and uncover it to dry together, or return the porcelain vase to others. ”

Xu Beiwu looked at Sun Zhongyuan at this time.

Sun Zhongyuan said, "This master is very interesting, let you uncover the frame, don't give money, let you sell things." This is a bondage, and you can't get rid of it if something happens. ”

Lao Hong patted the table, "Who said it wasn't, they all came out to mix, and they all had a lot of hearts! However, since it is the Yongzheng official kiln, this remuneration is too good." Moreover, I still have a bit of the initiative, and if I am lucky, I can make a yin-yang contract, and I can still make more money. ”

"It seems that the unframed painting is not simple. Sun Zhongyuan said again.

The so-called unmounting, one into two, is actually to turn one painting into two paintings. This method can only be used on ancient paintings on paper, and it is definitely not possible on silk. Moreover, the paper has to be thicker, so you can peel off one more layer, and then repair, frame, and worn, and turn one painting into two.

The things made in this way are very difficult to identify, especially the first layer, which does not need to be repaired at all, the original pen and ink are on it, and it can be re-framed. The next layer, there may be a place where the pen and ink are not transparent, so you have to make up for it, but for calligraphy and painting masters, the probability of making mistakes is almost zero if you draw a gourd in the same way.

Generally speaking, calligraphy and painting are unveiled and changed into two, the first layer is definitely unrecognizable, this one is the main force, and it is not afraid to sell it to anyone, or it may be possible to keep it yourself. The second layer, that is purely to make money, there is one more life, needless to say.

Lao Hong opened the drawer and took out a photo. He doesn't have an electronic version either, and the electronic version of this thing won't be given to people easily, so it's troublesome to save it casually. And on this photo, some smudging has been done, and the subject can see clearly, but several places on the surface are not clear.

Xu Beiwu glanced at it a few times, and then gave the photo to Sun Zhongyuan. In this regard, Lao Hong is an expert, and he doesn't need their help, but also to understand the situation more.

Sun Zhongyuan looked at it, although it was a photo, but it was also obvious that he didn't know what the reason for this painting was, and there were layers in the corners, which may have been damp for a long time and experienced an extremely dry environment.

It can be seen from the situation at the beginning that this rice paper is indeed relatively thick and has the basis for unmounting.

This is a green landscape painting, the size is not small, and the general house is more than enough to hang in the middle hall. In the picture, the distant mountains are close to the water, the mountains are extended, and the autumn mood seems to be undulating. The trees are swaying, the water is bleak, and there are small villages lying on the shore, which are dotted with a few chic.

What a picture of Autumn Mountain and Xiaoshui!

In the photo, most of the inscriptions and seals have been smeared, but one side of the seal has been left. Of course, you can't leave nothing behind, and I don't know whose work it is.

Yangwen small seal, the right is a Tang character, and the left is the upper white and lower tiger.

Tang Baihu!

Tang Baihu is naturally Tang Yin and Tang Bohu. This Tang Baihu is not joking, he changed his name, and this seal has appeared in his works more than once.

The reason for this is this: Tang Bohu was 25 and 26 years old, and his family experienced major changes, and within two years, his parents, wife, son, and sister all left. There is only one younger brother left, Tang Shen. As a result, the family was ruined and destitute.

Twenty-six-year-old Tang Bohu was born early with gray hair, and the biggest problem was that he had doubts about himself, thinking that he was the reincarnation of a broom star and a "white tiger"! Tang Bohu became Tang Baihu.

Therefore, looking at Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings, some of them have the signature or seal of "Bohu" at a glance for the year, which must be fake!

"Although, just looking at the photos can't be conclusive, but this charm, plus such a large price for you to unveil the frame, it seems that it must be Tang Yin's "Autumn Mountain Xiaoshui Map". Sun Zhongyuan said.

Lao Hong nodded, "I don't think there should be any problem with this painting." That's not what worries me right now, though. ”

"What worries you the most is not knowing who this woman will sell to?" Sun Zhongyuan said.

Lao Hong glanced at Sun Zhongyuan, obviously, his attitude towards Sun Zhongyuan has changed greatly. This point does not rely on Xu Beiwu's apprentice, but Sun Zhongyuan's own strength.

"That's right, now I'm doing it on my own, and if I sell it to someone I can't afford to mess with, and if I find out that it's uncovered, then I'll be in trouble. Lao Hong looked at Xu Beiwu, "Brother Xu, it just so happened that you told me that you came to Yanjing, so I had to talk to you." ”

Lao Hong asked Xu Beiwu for help, and it was divided into two layers, just like unmasking. On the first level, look at the weight of this string pattern bottle, if it is not valuable, then there is no need to think about unmasking. On the second level, if the amount is sufficient and the price is sufficient, the work of uncovering and framing can be accepted from the perspective of trading. However, the specifics must also be analyzed clearly, otherwise the painting will be revealed, the money will be made, but something will happen, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Xu Beiwu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and the smoke rose, "This matter, originally, from the point of view of the rules, you can't ask people how they plan to do it." ”
