Chapter 433 On-site bidding

...... "Zhang Menglong Stele" full name "Lu County Taishou Zhang Fu Jun Qing Song Stele", chiseled in the Northern Wei Dynasty Zhengguang three years, there is no name of the writer on the inscription, the stele is engraved with 24 lines, 46 words. The stele is engraved with the names of the officials in ten columns. The book "Weilu County Taishou Zhangfu Jun Qing Song Monument" three lines and twelve characters. The ancients commented that his book "has opened the door of Ouyu", and was praised by the world as "the first Wei monument".

In addition, the style of Weibei is diverse, simple and precipitous, comfortable and beautiful. It is the most outstanding and splendid part of the inscriptions, epitaphs, statue inscriptions, and cliff carvings of all dynasties! From ancient times to the present, it has been deeply appreciated by the gold and stone scholars of all dynasties, and the remarks that 'all Wei monuments are perfect' have been widely spread! And "Zhang Menglong Tablet" can be called the first Wei monument, which shows the exquisite skill of its inscriptions.

What's even more rare is that in this huge rubbing, which is three meters long, 90 centimeters wide, with a mounting length of nearly four meters and a width of nearly one meter two, the words "winter temperature and summer clear" are clearly visible, which is particularly rare.

People who are familiar with the inscription of gold and stone steles know that the ancients rubbed the stele and often removed a certain word on the original stele or left some kind of mark after each extension, so that the extension of the descendants can never be comparable to the extension of the predecessors, let alone forgery, which shows the good intentions of the ancients.

And the rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument" also has such characteristics.

Therefore, whether there are four characters in the inscription "winter temperature and summer clear" is considered to be an important basis for identifying the ancient extension, present extension, original extension and translation of Zhang Menglong stele. If there is one, it is an old engraved copy with exquisite workmanship, and if it is not, it is a re-engraved copy. Compared with. The value of the latter is naturally much lower.

Obviously. Dong Lao's collection of this "Zhang Menglong Tablet" is a real old rubbing. And there is a line next to the "calligraphy is chic and ancient, strange and symbiotic, six generations so higher than the Tang people in this way!' of the regular script, next to the thumb-sized seal is two small seals 'Shoujing'!

As long as you study calligraphy and painting, or the study of gold and stone, there is no one who does not know this famous master in the history of modern Chinese painting. And Liu Dong learned about this person's life from his father since he was a child.

Yang Shoujing was an outstanding historical geographer in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, a philologist of gold and stone, a catalogue editionist, a calligraphy artist, a numismatist, and a bibliophile. He has been diligent in his studies all his life, and he has a strong memory. He is known for his expertise in research, and is a scholar who combines the study of land, gold and stone, calligraphy, spring coins, book collections, and tablet bibliography. He wrote as many as 83 kinds of books in his life, and was known as "the first beginner in the late Qing Dynasty", and his masterpiece "Commentary on the Water Classic" is known as a monument in the history of Lixue.

The promotion of such a big man undoubtedly adds a lot of color to this Wei tablet rubbing, and there is also the promotion and seal of Dong Lao on it, which further enhances its value.

Therefore, after admiring this precious rubbing, many people present were ready to move.

And Liu Dong himself is one of them.

Because he also loves calligraphy, but when he was young, his family was poor and couldn't afford it. There are very few rubbings of inscriptions that can be copied for him. And after leaving your hometown to make a living, the first thing to solve is survival. There's no time for all this stuff. But now, I have time and energy, but with the protection of precious inscriptions by the state, the rubbings of high-quality inscriptions are not something that can be collected in a short time.

Therefore, after seeing this rare old rubbings of "Zhang Menglong Monument", Liu Dong naturally had no intention of letting it go.

"Okay, it's still the old rule! There is no reserve price, whoever likes it, just bid!" Ji Yun said loudly after putting the painting away.

As soon as his words fell, he saw an old man with gray hair and about fifty years old, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Dong Lao is willing to take out this rubbing, and I will pay 20,000!"

"Old Ji, you want to snatch things away for 20,000 yuan, we don't want to! I'll give you 25,000!" Soon an old man in a gray coat with a long beard on his chin laughed.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, you two! Everyone knows that I like calligraphy, so I won't let you this time!" An old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and thin cheeks immediately raised the price to 28,000!

However, the price of 28,000 was not the end of this precious "Zhang Menglong Monument", and under the competitive bidding of everyone, it soon climbed to 35,000 Huaxia coins.

After reaching this number, although there are still many people bidding, the increase is undoubtedly not as exaggerated as before.

Moreover, 35,000 Huaxia coins have reached the actual price of this "Zhang Menglong Tablet", and those who are still bidding not only really like this Wei Tablet rubbing, but also have the meaning of taking care of Dong Lao's face.

"I'll give 50,000!"

After a few old men raised the price to 40,000 for 500 and 1,000, Liu Dong directly doubled the price by a quarter.

Of course, this is not because Liu Dongren is stupid and has a lot of money, he also has his own considerations.

Gain, he has joined the Spring City Collection Association for too short, he is a newcomer, and he is young, if he is like the others, he will slowly bid and will inevitably compete with the one with the highest price in the end. At that time, even if you get this rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument" in your hands, it will undoubtedly lose the other party's face. And he also has a bad reputation for not respecting his predecessors!

Of course, maybe the other party doesn't mind this, but Liu Dong can't bet on the other party's temper, he doesn't want to offend people again as soon as he enters the collection association!

And it's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's a way of dealing with people that you must learn to survive in this society. Also, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Therefore, Liu Dong decisively chose to spend more money, which not only showed his determination to win this inscription, but also showed that he just liked this inscription, not who he was aiming for!

After hearing Liu Dong's offer, the original hot atmosphere of everyone bidding suddenly disappeared, for Liu Dong, the recently famous junior, they have not had much contact, and they are not too familiar, so after hearing his bid, no one spoke out for a while.

But soon, some quiet atmosphere in the living room was interrupted, "Old, old, not as bold as a young person." Forget it, since Liu Dong likes it, then I'll give up!"

After listening to the bald old man, Liu Dong hurriedly said: "Thank you Ji Laochengquan, I have loved calligraphy since I was a child, and when I saw this precious rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Tablet", I wanted to buy it and copy ......!"

"Hehe, forget it! It's a good thing for young people to be studious!" Liu Dong's obedience undoubtedly gave the old man surnamed Ji a step down, and he easily resolved the slightly embarrassing atmosphere before.

And with the old man surnamed Ji taking the lead, the three or four old men who were still bidding just now also nodded in unison, the atmosphere eased a lot, and as they had more contact with Liu Dong, they became more familiar with each other. At that time, Liu Dong will also slowly integrate into this collective, and if he participates in this kind of collection exchange meeting in the future, he will not be as forward-looking and thoughtful as he is now.

Seeing Liu Dong smiling and respectfully talking to the seniors in the meeting, after looking at Old Dong and Old Man Wu sitting next to him, he looked at Liu Dong and nodded approvingly. Obviously, he secretly applauded his optimistic junior for his mature skills in dealing with people.

However, compared to their happiness, Wen Li, who was sitting next to her, secretly gritted her teeth when she saw Liu Dong, who was good at dancing with long sleeves, no one hated this bastard who had a grudge against her whole family more than her!

Therefore, even if she didn't think about buying this rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", it would not make it easy for Liu Dong to get her wish. At the very least, it will make him pay a much higher price than it is now.

Thinking of this, Wen Li, who had made up her mind, suddenly said: "I'll give 60,000!"

Her voice immediately made the atmosphere around her, which was still relatively relaxed, tense again.

Most of the people here today are internal members of the Real Collectors Association, like those bosses who want to be vassals and elegant, although they need them to identify antiques for themselves, but they don't want to come here to see the stinky faces of these intellectuals, it is purely to make themselves uncomfortable.

Therefore, most of the people here today also participated in Liu Dong's entrance assessment not long ago, and they can be said to have seen the grievances between him and Wen's father and daughter.

Moreover, due to the status of the vice president of the Wenzheng Quancheng Collection Association, they have no intention of persuading both sides to make peace. After all, they don't have too deep a friendship with Liu Dong, who has been in the club for a short time, but has a certain good impression of the Wen father and daughter who are extraordinary and very good at being people.

Noticing the secretive look of the people around him, as well as the cold look on Wen Li's face, Liu Dong knew that it would be a little difficult to win this Wei tablet rubbing today. However, this is not the time to back down. Wen Li is not the predecessor in other industries just now, the seniors can still be wooed, but Wen Li is destined to be Liu Dong's enemy, and it is the kind that cannot be resolved.

"I'll give 70,000!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Eighty thousand!" Wen Li followed as expected.

"I'll give 90,000!" Liu Dong said again.

Neither side said much, just a simple offer, and the more so, the more people around them understood how big the grudge between the two sides was.

At this time, Dong Lao and Wu Lao's brows also wrinkled, and Wen Li's nonsense made them feel a little disgusted in their hearts. But for the sake of her father Wenzheng's face, the two didn't say anything. Moreover, the other party did not break the rules, and in principle, as long as you are a member of the collection association, you can bid.

In addition, the price of 90,000 yuan is far beyond the market price of this "Zhang Menglong Tablet", and Dong Lao has no excuse to take back this precious Wei tablet rubbing.
