Chapter 29 Liu Yong's manuscript

Seeing these dozen words floating above the orb, Liu Dong couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Although he doesn't know the specific value of this painting now, the paintings of Tang Bohu, one of the four famous Wumen, and they are inherited in an orderly manner, should exceed one million in the future.

Of course, if you want to determine how much this painting is worth, it is best to take it to Li Lao of the Agarwood Pavilion for a specific appraisal. However, although Liu Dong had such thoughts in his heart, he wanted to talk about it for a while.

After all, if he frequently misses, although it can still be attributed to luck, it will always make people have some bad thoughts.

"When my appreciation level comes up, maybe it won't be abrupt!" Liu Dong thought secretly in his heart, and at this time, Liu Dong's desire to learn antique appreciation has become stronger.

With a decision in his heart, Liu Dong took this Tang Yin's authentic painting "Spring Mountain Companion Picture" into the mustard seed space, and then picked up a few books placed next to him again.

First took it in his hand, and after counting it, Liu Dong found that there were four of these books in total. They are four of the four books and five classics of the Confucian classics, namely the Analects, the University, the Mean, and Mencius.

Like Tang Yin's paintings, the four Confucian classics are very well preserved, and although the pages are beginning to turn yellow, there is no obvious damage or moth-eaten damage.

After picking up a copy of the Analects and putting down the other three first, Liu Dong reached out and carefully opened the title page of the book, and at a glance saw a huge seal that almost occupied the entire paper. And pressed under the seal is a line of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, large and small more than a dozen regular script fonts.

"'Haidai Gaomendi, Yingzhou Xinhanlin' in May of the year of Bingzi, 'Treasure of Qianlong's Imperial Pen'!"

Especially this huge seal, Liu Dong couldn't help but light up.

He had already seen it with the aura in his eyes just now, and the white light on the four books meant that they were indeed antiquities. And the seal of Emperor Qianlong on this has made the value of this Analect increase sharply.

In the Chinese antique industry, as long as it can be related to the royal family, the price will definitely roll up, and this Liu Dong still knows.

After looking at it carefully, Liu Dong continued to turn back, and then the neat carved italics appeared in his eyes, but between the fonts, there were also annotations in small letters. However, although the text is small, the handwriting is thick and solid, the body is full of bones, the pen is clear, and it reveals the style of a famous artist.

Moreover, almost every page at the back has a small annotation, but the content is a little different.

In addition, Liu Dong also found a few paper interlayers full of experiences in the book, and it was clear that the book must be the beloved thing of the original owner's study.

"Liu Yong!?" On the last page of the book, Liu Dong found the bell seals such as 'Liu Chongru', 'Shi'an', 'Riguan Peak Daoren' and 'Minghua', although he hadn't heard of the latter two, but Qianlong's famous minister Liu Yong, the word Chongru, and the number Shi'an, he still knew.

"It seems that this book should have been given to Liu Yong by Emperor Qianlong!" Liu Dong guessed in his heart thinking of the seal on the title page and the handwriting that was obviously very different from the back.

At this time, Liu Dong's heart also had more expectations for the next three books.

Therefore, after putting down the Analects in his hand, he quickly picked up the other three books one by one and looked through them. It was found that on the last three books, although there was no seal and promotion of Emperor Qianlong, several Liu Yong's bell seals appeared in the "Analects", and almost all appeared in the latter three books at the same time.

Moreover, unlike the italics printed in the Analects, the italics of the last three books are almost the same as the small block annotations on the Analects, which are obviously from the hands of one person, and it is obvious that the three books of "University", "The Mean" and "Mencius" are all written by Liu Yong.

"That's exactly what happened!" the font revealed on the orb in the mustard seed space confirmed his guess.

"Tang Yin's "Spring Mountain Companion Map" long scroll, promoted by Qianlong, one of the four books of Liu Yong's interpretation of "Analects", Liu Yong's handwritten Confucian classics "University", "The Mean" and "Mencius", although I don't know their specific value, but at least there should be millions!" Liu Dong secretly guessed in his heart.

In fact, he still greatly underestimated the value of Tang Yin's paintings, which were handed down in an orderly manner, and on June 1, 1989, Christie's auction house held in New York in the "Important Chinese Ancient Paintings Auction", the first in the list was Tang Yin's "Mountains and Quiet Days" album. The 12-page album, with Wang Yangming's book Tang Xizi, was estimated at $150 million, but sold for $500 million, more than three times its estimate.

On May 30, 1990, Christie's in New York auctioned Tang Yin's "Moon Spring", which was promoted by Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan and other three masters, with an estimate of 25 million to 30 million US dollars, and finally sold for 56 million yuan.

In November 1991, Christie's in New York released a work similar to the album "Mountain Quiet Sun", which also sold for $72 million.

Even Tang Yin's small fans, such as the fan of "Ancient Wood, Bamboo and Stone" and the fan of "Bamboo in the Rain", were sold for $10 million and $25 million respectively.

And Liu Dong got the long scroll of Tang Yin's authentic "Spring Mountain Companion Picture", if it is properly publicized and put at auction, it will at least fetch a high price of more than 60 million US dollars, and it is not impossible to even auction 100 million US dollars.

Although Liu Yong's calligraphy cannot be compared with Tang Yin's paintings in previous auction prices, Qianlong's "Analects" by the imperial pen and bell seal, plus the third of the four Confucian classics written by Liu Yong himself, "University", "The Mean", and "Mencius", these together should be worth two million. (Of course, this is for the antiques market in 2000)

"I didn't expect that I would be kind of for a while, and I could still have this kind of harvest, it is really a good person with a good reward!" After receiving the four precious books and ancient paintings into the mustard seed space, Liu Dong secretly sighed in his heart.

However, at this moment, he felt a little guilty about the lady who sold him antiques, after all, the value of these paintings and calligraphy far exceeded the money he gave. Of course, if it was an ordinary person, Liu Dong picked up a leak, and naturally he was happy. However, the old lady was obviously in trouble, and her family was also poor, so after he made such a big profit, he felt a little uneasy.

"Wait for a chance to compensate the old lady!" Liu Dong secretly decided in his heart.

Immediately, I cleaned up my mood and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, only to find that it was already half past eight in the evening. Liu Dong, who originally wanted to take a shower, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the sound coming from the living room.

immediately took off the clothes on her body, raised the pillow, lay on her back on the mat, and then took out the thick book of appreciation notes that Li Lao gave her from the mustard seed space.

After the experience of Tang Yin's paintings and Liu Yong's handwriting, as well as his current abilities, Liu Dong's interest in antique appreciation has become stronger.

However, the carving for more than ten consecutive days and nights has made Liu Dong's body and spirit very tired, plus a series of encounters this afternoon. Although he was excited, made a lot of money, and picked up a few big leaks before and after, it also exhausted Liu Dong's little mental strength, so he couldn't resist the strong drowsiness after watching it for half an hour, and fell asleep without even turning off the light.
