Chapter 136: Three Hundred Thousand
Song Qingling's signet ring also left a touching story. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
During those days of the Anti-Japanese War, Song Qingling used his connections to introduce groups of international friends to Yan'an. She also used her own influence to raise a lot of urgently needed medical supplies and cash for the anti-Japanese war troops.
It is also for this reason that Song Qingling often has to sign and seal donations, so she simply made a signet ring that can be carried with her and can be used anywhere at any time.
Because the signet ring was used too frequently, gradually, Song Qingling's fingers wearing the ring even became calloused.
And this precious seal gold ring, now, is preserved in the former residence of Song Qingling, telling this unforgettable history for the visitors again and again.
Chu Ning judged that the words "Heaven rewards diligence" in front of him, and the round seal of "Qingling" stamped on it, should be from this seal ring.
In other words, she thinks that this painting is Song Qingling's authentic handwriting!
She told Xi Yutong all her guesses.
Xi Yutong didn't expect that although Chu Ning didn't know how to appreciate words, he could find another way to identify this character from the paper and ink of calligraphy and painting.
The most important thing is that Chu Ning's judgments are all correct, and this character is indeed from Song Qingling's hand!
This girl really has some real skills!
No wonder Lao Han values her so much!
Xi Yutong couldn't help but look at Chu Ning with admiration.
However, even though she was very satisfied with Chu Ning in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face.
"It seems that your professional class is not in vain. Xi Yutong said without being salty, "You are right, this painting is indeed written by Mr. Song Qingling." However, in addition to the points you notice, it is more important to look at the connotation and meaning of the words themselves. Otherwise, if someone imitates it, with your three-legged cat skills, it is still easy to be fooled!"
Chu Ning smiled and responded sincerely: "Thank you Teacher Xi for your advice, I wrote it down." I will pay more attention to this aspect of learning in the future. ”
She is now exposed to more and more types of antiques, and her knowledge base, which was originally quite rich, is indeed a little insufficient.
Today's painting not only gave her experience again, but also gave her a blow to the head.
The school library seems to be her next permanent residence.
Sure that the painting in front of him was Song Qingling's authentic handwriting, Xi Yutong drank the tea presented by the shopkeeper Zhong himself, and said slowly: "Old Zhong, I want this calligraphy, you can make a price!"
Shopkeeper Zhong smiled, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Teacher Xi, I have spent a lot of effort in order to find such a word that meets your heart. This trustee invites guests to dinner, sells favors, or whatever, all of which have expenses. None of us are outsiders, so I'll give you a real price, 300,000!"
Chu Ning's eyelids trembled when she heard this. Although Song Qingling is a celebrity, she is a modern figure, and she has been in politics, so there are not many calligraphy works left behind.
It's just that the atmospheric character in front of him can definitely rank among the best among all Song Qingling's calligraphy works.
But even so, the price of this painting is limited, and it is definitely not more than 300,000 yuan.
Based on Chu Ning's own experience, she thinks that this painting can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan, which is already very good.
Part of this price depends on the round seal.
Xi Yutong was very calm.
Obviously, the price didn't scare her.
"300,000?" Xi Yutong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shopkeeper Zhong, "I said Old Zhong, did you think I was old and confused when I didn't go out for a walk during this time? How much is this character worth, everyone is in the industry, and no one can fool anyone. You told me to ask for 300,000 yuan, are you using me as a little kid?!"
Shopkeeper Zhong had a bitter face: "Teacher Xi, you and I have known so much, who is my old Zhong, others don't know, don't you know? I just pit the sky and the earth, then it is impossible to pit you! The price of this character, if it is really true, is indeed less than 300,000 yuan." But this painting is not collected by conventional means, there are a lot of people in the middle, and it is very difficult to find things, I have to ask those brothers for some hard-earned money, right? Otherwise, if there is such work in the future, who would want to come to my old clock to take over the business?"
And that makes sense.
It's just that Xi Yutong knows very well in his heart that even if Shopkeeper Zhong wants to give those so-called brothers hard money, he will definitely not want this amount.
Speaking of which, he still wants to earn two more.
The price of 300,000 is a bit high, but it is not unacceptable.
Xi Yutong sneered: "Since you say so, that's good, 300,000 is 300,000!"
Shopkeeper Zhong suddenly looked happy: "Thank you Teacher Xi for your understanding! If there is such a thing in the future, you can look for me! If I can't find it, it is estimated that others will not be able to find it......"
Chu Ning looked indifferent.
Teacher Xi is really a local tyrant, 300,000 yuan will be given...... When will she be able to do this?!
"Wait!" Xi Yutong said again, "I can pay the price of 300,000 yuan." However, you are really embarrassed to let me buy such a painting for 300,000 yuan?"
"......" Shopkeeper Zhong, who was still immersed in joy, couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and said cautiously, "Teacher Xi, what do you mean......?"
Anyway, as long as it's not bargaining, everything is easy to say!
Xi Yutong's eyes glanced at the counter: "I gave 300,000 yuan, but take half of your tea with me!"
The expression on Shopkeeper Zhong's face froze suddenly.
Chu Ning snickered in her heart.
She just felt that Mr. Xi, a local tyrant, was going to be easily pitted, who knew that Mr. Xi was so shrewd, and turned his head to ask for a gift from Shopkeeper Zhong.
And this giveaway is really not ordinary.
After all, the giveaways that can make Mr. Xi take the initiative to look at them will not be ordinary goods.
Just now, when Chu Ning was helping to make tea, he found out that the tea leaves placed on the counter by the shopkeeper Zhong were very rare top-level Pu'er, the kind that cost tens of thousands of dollars for one or two!
And the Pu'er in the tea jar of the Zhong shopkeeper adds up, I'm afraid it doesn't exceed three taels.
Teacher Xi has to go halfway, which is worth at least 20,000 yuan.
What's more, in the market, a lot of people have 20,000 yuan, and they can't see a little bit of tea in this top Pu'er.
With the repair of this tea, Mr. Xi bought this painting, and it was not a loss.
For those who love tea, it can even be said to be earned!
Shopkeeper Zhong's painful expression became more and more obvious.
He himself is a tea lover, in order to be able to drink good tea, he is looking for help at any cost, and finally found such a top tea by his side.
