Chapter 279: Things in the Antique Circle!

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Old Man Wen hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, but! The old man is old, and he doesn't want you young people to have as much energy, so there may not be much to do in a year, and you can't force it then!"

"How can it, don't worry! Definitely not!" Liu Dong hurriedly promised.

Hearing this, Elder Wen nodded, looked at the Hongshan Jade Man that Liu Dong handed over to him and frowned slightly, and after a while, he shook his head and continued: "What you said just now belongs to the benefits of cooperation. If this is the case with this precious Red Mountain Jade Man, the old man will feel uneasy, so be it! The old man still has some collections here, so you can pick one of them and take it away!"

"Don't refuse, otherwise I don't want this Red Mountain Jade Man, and what I just said will be invalid!"

Looking at the old man's extremely strong face, Liu Dong nodded a little helplessly.

In the end, after Liu Dong selected a Warring States Double Dragon Jade Pendant worth about 100,000 yuan in Wen Lao's treasure room, the old man reluctantly approved the transaction.

After using the brocade box given by the old man for free, putting the two pieces of jade into the backpack behind him, Liu Dong was ready to stand up and say goodbye and continue his Taobao journey in Panjiayuan.

As for the company's affairs, he already has Mr. Wen's phone number, and when the time comes, he only needs to ask the lawyer of the company's legal department to negotiate the contract with Mr. Wen.

"Xiaodong, will you have time later?"

"Time, yes, what's the matter with you, old man?" Liu Dong said strangely.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal! An old man in the collecting circle has passed away. The children and grandchildren of the family divide the property. Each of them likes to collect antiques, so they discussed selling the collection that the old man had collected all his life and exchanging it for money. So I invited a lot of people from the collection circle to come over. I see that you are so interested in collecting antiques, and you have a lot of money in your pocket, I want to take you to see it, and if you have something you like, buy it!"

"It's a good feeling. When are we going!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, when I saw you just now, I was going to go, although it was delayed for more than half an hour, but I went out early just now, and it is not too late to go now. ”

"That's okay, old man! I'm fine, let's go now!" just picked up a big leak, and Liu Dong was in high spirits about antiques. So when I heard about it, I immediately decided to go.

See here. Elder Wen smiled and instructed his little apprentice to look at the store. took the two out of Pan's homeland.

Subsequently, the three of them stopped a taxi, and after Wen Lao said an address, Liu Dong and Wen Lao chatted in the car.

"Now we go to this house, the old man's name is Zhao Sanyou, he used to draw comic books in the Beijing People's Publishing House, he likes to collect all his life, and then he retired, and after the boss left, he spent all his money and energy on antique collection. Usually he treats those things as life, and his family doesn't let them touch them, but he didn't expect that as soon as this person left, Lao Zhao's life's work was sold by his own children! Alas, the world is really impermanent!"

Looking at the old man's emotional face, Liu Dong also felt a little emotional in his heart. At this time, he also began to understand a little why Li Lao would rather keep the things that his ancestors and grandchildren had inherited for three generations for himself than leave them to his family, what he was afraid of was that if he suddenly left one day. The children and grandchildren sold all his hard work.

"Will I encounter such a thing in the future?" Liu Dong asked himself.

After a light sigh in his heart, he shook his head slightly, he was only 20 years old, and it was too early to think about this.

But at this time, Liu Dong suddenly remembered in his mind that Li Lao had told him a few days ago about opening a private museum.

"Maybe this is the only way out, but opening a private museum is not a trivial matter, it is better to think in the long run, and as far as my collection is concerned, even if I add Li Lao's collection, it can't support a museum!" Liu Dong thought to himself.

Moreover, he thought that since he had the idea of opening a museum, it should not be too cramped, not to mention compared with the Forbidden City, but how could it be as large as the Capital Museum? Otherwise, he would not be able to collect enough tickets to maintain the museum's expenses, and how could he expand the collection.

A private museum that cannot be self-financed, if it loses money, will always close down one day, and this is too far from Liu Dong's original intention to establish the museum.

"In addition, no matter what, there must be one of Lao Tzu's descendants who likes to collect antiques! If one doesn't work, there will be two, if two can't do it, there will be three, and if three can't do it, there will be four......!"

Liu Dong kept wandering around with these chaotic thoughts in his mind, and at this time, the taxi also drove into a somewhat chaotic alley.

Compared with the clean and tidy alley outside the small courtyard of Li Lao, and the quiet division, this place is more like the legendary old Beijing hutong, shuttling bicycles, tricycles, hawkers hawking along the street in Beijing dialect, the old man sitting at the door with a chair basking in the sun, the garbage piled up at the door of each house, and the occasional child running around, this ancient and modern way of life is the most attractive feature of the old Beijing hutong.

According to the address given by Mr. Wen, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was ajar, and the noise of talking could be faintly heard from inside. Pushing open the old wooden door, which only half of the door god remained, and the head of the door was long gone, only a circle of rusty iron bars as handles, and the three of them walked in one after another. Stepping into the gatehouse, there was a gray-yellow dark paper pasted on the shadow wall that greeted the door. It symbolizes that someone in this family has passed away.

By this time, a corner of the paper had fallen, and the remaining triangle had long been stubbornly clinging to the wall, resisting the summer heat and the occasional majesty.

Walking through the shadow wall, it is a traditional courtyard house, the main house, the wing room, the left and right side houses are all available. The black ash in the center of the courtyard, and the white filial piety clothes that are still in the corner casually, show that this family should have just finished the funeral.

When the three of them walked in, an old man in a white shirt was sitting on the blue brick steps on both sides of the door smoking.

"Old Wen, you're here!

"Oh, I'll introduce you, this is Liu Dong, this is Mu Gang, my old man's friend, come to see things!"

"Xiaodong, Mu Gang, this is Lao Liang, like me, I opened a 'Ruiyun Xuan' in Panjiayuan, mainly engaged in the four treasures of the study, and usually likes to fiddle with antiques. ”

"Hello Liang Lao!" Liu Dong said politely.

"Hello, old man!" Mu Gang said angrily, but his voice was definitely not low, but it shocked Old Man Liang.

"Hello! Since you are friends of this guy Wu, then naturally you are also my friends of Lao Liang, let's get together when we have time!" Old Man Liang's words were full of the unique goodness of northerners.

"Hehe, let's talk about making friends later! Now we're here to see things, by the way, why don't you go in? Wasn't you an old fellow very positive at the beginning?"

"Alas, seeing Lao Zhao's children quarreling over this bit of family property, I was upset to see it, so I came out! Lao Liu, they are inside! But don't have any hope this time, the blue and white brocade Wenzhuang jar of the Qianlong official kiln that Lao Zhao collected in the past had already been sent to Guardian for auction. The rest of the war drum bronze beans, the agarwood entwined lotus pattern bowl of Jiang Chunbo, the master of the agarwood ware in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the white jade shanzi you fancied, were all bought by a boss just now. The rest of the things are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of items, and the family thinks that the handling fee for the auction is too expensive, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been sold without leaving any of them. ”

Hearing this, Wen Lao's face couldn't help but show a strong look of disappointment, today he came for this Ming Dynasty white jade dragon mountain, but he didn't expect to be a step late and was bought by someone else first.

"Well, forget it, since the things are gone, I won't go in. I don't look at anything other than jade. Xiaodong, if you are interested, go in and take a look, although the most precious in Lao Zhao's collection is gone, but there are still dozens of pieces left that should be good, if you like it, buy it, the antiques have been bullish in recent years, whether as a collection or an investment, it is good!"

"Okay, old man, then I'll go in first. ”

"Well, let's go!" Wen Lao waved his hand.

However, before Liu Dong could push the door, some dilapidated doors were opened from the inside. As soon as the door opened, the sound of a low quarrel outside, suddenly became violent.

Then, a half-hundred-year-old man wearing a gray shirt and eyes walked out of it, and when he saw Liu Dong head-on, the old man was stunned for a moment, but after nodding with a smile, he walked past the two. But looking at his empty-handed appearance, I don't think I have much to gain.

"Who are you? Who let you in?" Seeing Liu Dong enter the door, a middle-aged woman about forty years old wearing a red leather jacket, black cotton pantyhose, hanging eyebrows, collapsed nose, and a slightly chubby face, asked unceremoniously.

However, Mu Gang, who came in later, made a trace of fear flash in this woman's eyes, and the pungency on her body also subsided a lot.

Liu Dong swept around, and the situation in the room was roughly understood.

Standing in the living room, the three men and two women are the children of the old man, or the daughter-in-law, son-in-law and other relatives, the wing room on the left should have been the bedroom, but now there are porcelain, calligraphy and painting and other objects, and there are two or three people in it to pick and practice, I think it should be the old man's previous collection. The wing room on the right has some miscellaneous items such as tables and chairs, as well as some boxes. (To be continued......)
