Chapter 305: Qi Lao's Mobao

………… Seeing the two old men talking about their crane paintings, although Liu Dong had the answer in his heart, he couldn't open his mouth because of his own secrets, so he could only stand aside and listen respectfully like Mr. and Mrs. Li and Fu Kun.

"The two of us are really confused, we just care about looking at the flying crane in the painting, and we forgot about the promotion and seal next to it!" At this time, Qi Lao suddenly smiled.

"Well, that's what I said, the old mistake has been made again!" After Xu Lao finished speaking with a smile, the two of them went to look at the promotion and seal on the corner at the same time.

"'The painting has been exhausted for a long time, and the sky is still out of the dust' is too white to leave a pen!"

"'Ancient and modern crane painters, Xue Gong is the leader!' Huayuan Fan Zhongli!"

"Old Qi, it seems that our previous guess has been answered!" Xu Lao said with a little excitement.

"Hmm!" Qi Lao nodded heavily, "The only person who can get the praise of the poet Immortal Li Taibai and the famous Fan Kuan is Xue Ji, one of the four families of the early Tang Dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Lao turned around and walked to a desk that slowed down pen, ink, paper and inkstone at the window, opened the drawer, and took out a box.

Then, Qi Lao selected a few of them, and then walked back to the painting as if no one was around, and after carefully examining the painting, he began to disassemble it from the corners. Seeing his old friend's movements, Xu Lao naturally knew his plans, so he also took a few knives as thin as willow leaves, and began to cut off the needles and threads that connected the heart of the painting with the coarse cloth outside.

Seeing that the two old men were busy, everyone also wanted to go up and help. But I'm afraid that my level is not good. Annoying people. So I had to wait by the side.

"Elder Li, why don't you and Grandma Li go outside and sit outside and wait for a while?" Liu Dong walked up to the old man and whispered in his ear.

"I don't need it, but your Grandma Li is not in good health and can't stand for a long time, I'll help her and let her sit outside!"

After listening to what Li Lao said, Liu Dong nodded. But this matter naturally can't work the old man, Liu Dong and Mu Gang together. After the two carried the old lady to the living room, and then asked Mu Gang to chat with the old lady, Liu Dong turned around and walked back.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, I saw Xu Lao and Qi Lao remove a layer of yellowed coarse cloth on the outer layer of the crane painting, and then an old yellowed, 56 cm high, 186 cm long banner scroll appeared in front of several people, at this time Li Lao, Liu Dong, and Fu Kun, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, also came up.

I saw the whole painting group appear. The scroll is not just five white cranes, but a beautiful picture of pine trees, streams, and distant mountains. Moreover, on some of the hidden scrolls, there are not only Xue Ji's promotion and seals, but also Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's 'Zichen Palace Treasure'; Du Fu and Huang Quan's promotion and seals; 'Xuanhe Palace Treasures' seals; and Dong Qichang's seals of the Ming Dynasty.

And at this moment, the name of this painting is also there, "Xue Ji's "Ruihe Picture"!

"Sure enough, it is Xue Ji's hand-me-down masterpiece "Ruihe Picture", the inheritance is orderly, the inheritance is orderly!" After seeing the whole picture of this painting, Xu Lao's beard trembled with excitement.

And Qi Lao's expression was not much more stable than his, the old man's hands trembled, his cheeks flushed, his body shook twice, and he almost fell.

"Old Qi, are you okay?" Liu Dong stepped forward with an arrow step, and after holding Qi Lao's body, he hurriedly asked.

"Lao Qi, are you okay?" Old Xu was also a little nervous at the moment, he knew that his old friend was not in good health, and he also had heart disease and high blood pressure, and he was excited just now, he must have been sick again.

"Hey, I'm getting older, and this body is no longer good! Xiaodong, right? You help me to sit down on the chair next to me, there is medicine in the first drawer on the left side of the desk, help me get it!"

When Qi Lao's words fell, Liu Dong hurriedly helped the old man to the chair next to him, and then took out the medicine in the drawer according to the old man's instructions, and at this time, Fu Kun had already brought a cup of warm water from the water dispenser under the explanation of Xu Lao.

After Qi Lao finished taking the medicine, his spirit finally improved. However, looking at his pale face and tired expression, it was obvious that the act of appreciating the painting just now and dismantling the painting had consumed a lot of energy.

"I'm much better, Xiaodong, you help me over, Xue Ji's true handbook was born, how can the old man appreciate it, otherwise he will regret it for life." ”

"Old Qi, you better rest first, I'll leave the painting here first, and when you're ready, it's the same to appreciate it later!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

"Yes, Lao Qi, you are still obedient, the painting is here, and you haven't taken it away, you have time to appreciate it, don't rush at this time!"

"Yes, Brother Qi! Now that Xue Ji's painting is out and falls into the hands of Xiaodong, then this guy will never sell it, you can always stay and appreciate it, when you have seen enough, just let him come and take it away!"

Facing the persuasion of Old Man Xu and Old Man Li, Old Qi finally nodded.

"Young man, you are so blessed! A picture of Mr. Huang Binhong's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", a picture of Xue Ji's "Ruihe Picture", the Forbidden City does not have such a masterpiece, especially this authentic painting of Xue Ji, the whole world is afraid that this is his authentic handiwork, which can be regarded as making up for a gap in the modern painting and calligraphy world!"

In the face of Xu Lao's admiration, Liu Dong showed a rare trace of shame on his face. However, looking at the look of approval on the faces of several people around him, Liu Dong didn't say anything more.

However, at this time, he didn't dare to take out the only authentic work of Zhang Seng Miao in his bag, "Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Residences", otherwise this huge painting of the world's earliest surviving calligraphy and painting, and it is also a famous masterpiece, will not induce Xu Lao's high blood pressure!

For the sake of the safety of the two old men, Liu Dong decided to talk about it later.

In the morning, after admiring the two hand-me-downs, the old man Qi was in a good mood, and at noon, he left Mr. and Mrs. Li, as well as Liu Dong and Mu Gang, as well as Mr. Xu and his apprentices to eat together. The two old men in the middle exchanged contact information with Liu Dong and allowed him to visit at any time.

And after lunch, when Li Lao and Liu Dong were about to say goodbye, Qi Lao gave Li Lao a painting, and what he gave to Liu Dong was Xunzi's "Persuasion of Learning", a scroll that had been framed and was five meters long! Look at the promotion and seal on it, it is the work of Qi Lao Lao in the late eighties, but seeing that the old man can keep him to this day, it is also Qi Lao's favorite thing.

And to receive this gift, Liu Dong was also very excited in his heart. Of course, it inevitably made Old Man Li jealous for a long time.

Back in Li Lao's courtyard, Liu Dong also told him that he was going to leave the capital in the afternoon.

"I originally wanted you to go home and sit down, since your company has something, then I won't keep you, and when you come to the capital again, we will meet again!"

After listening to Elder Li's words, Liu Dong nodded. He will definitely come back to the capital. Not to mention Xue Ji's authentic "Ruihe Tu" that is still left in Qi Lao's place, but the country's largest antique market, Pan Jiayuan, is Liu Dong's inseparable storage zài, and after coming for so many days, the three major antique markets in Beijing, Liulichang and Baoguo Temple, he has not been there, it is a pity!

"That's right, Xiaodong! After you go back, don't forget to take care of my treasures, and take care of the Agarwood Pavilion!"

"Old Li, don't worry, I also like antique collections, those heirlooms of yours, and the Agarwood Pavilion, I will definitely look at them!" Liu Dong assured.

"Hehe, you kid is steady and moderate, I don't worry! Okay, you and Mu Gang take a break and leave, I'll go back with your Grandma Li first!"

"Hmm!" Liu Dong nodded, and then watched the old man walk into the car, and then disappeared around the corner of the alley.

After Li Lao left, Liu Dong and Mu Gang simply cleaned up, and then said goodbye to Zhang's mother, then stopped a taxi and went straight to the airport, and by the evening, the two were already sitting on the flight from the capital to Quancheng.

"By the way, Xiaodong! The antiques you bought are still in Li Lao's courtyard!" Sitting on the plane, Mu Gang suddenly remembered the dozens of antiques that Liu Dong bought in the Zhao family's courtyard.

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Mu! I've already let those antiques be consigned back to Quancheng!" Of course, these words are to deceive Mu Gang, and these antiques are just staying in his mustard seed space at the moment.

"Oh, then I'm relieved!But when did you ship it, how do I not know?"

Faced with Mu Gang's doubts, Liu Dong found an excuse and fulfilled his lies.

After appeasing Mu Gang, Liu Dong leaned back on a comfortable chair, and the scenes of the five days in the capital slowly flowed through his mind like flowing water.

After all the things came to his mind, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a complicated sense of right and wrong in his heart.

In these more than five days, nearly six days, his collection has skyrocketed several times, from seventeen or eighteen collections before coming to the capital, to nearly eighty now, if you count dozens of antiques in the Zhao family's compound, and those jade artifacts that are likely to come from the tomb of King Chuzhuang, this number will be doubled, if you count the two large boxes of comic books, and the original manuscripts, the number of collections alone, Liu Dong has surpassed the treasure trove accumulated by the three generations of Li Lao.

Moreover, there are many real national treasure-level collections, such as the two great tripods of the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, the 'Chao Guo Ding' and the 'Zong Guo Ding', the Red Mountain Jade Pig Dragon, Zhang Sengqiu's "Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Suzhou True Form Map", Dong Qichang's original handwriting "The Red Cliff Fu Book before and after", Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's "Tui Bei Tu", Liu Ji's "Nine Dragon Sutra", and the three paintings and calligraphy and three pieces of porcelain hidden in the safe by the middle-aged man surnamed Wang, as well as Cixi's Tian Huangyu seal.
