Chapter 14: Lin Lao

When Yun Xi heard this, he quickly turned his head, and then he saw an old man of sixty or seventy years old standing behind him, and when the old man saw Yun Xi looking at him, he was also surprised and said, "Little friend, can you see me?" ”

At this moment, Yun Xi suddenly understood what he saw again, so he pointed out the door and walked out first, and the old man also walked out with him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yun Xi looked around, and said: "Old man, my name is Yun Xi, I am a lay disciple of Taoism, some time ago by a coincidence, I opened the eyes of heaven, so I can see you now." If you need my help, please tell me, and I will try my best to help you. ”

At this time, I saw the old man say excitedly: "God, you finally heard my grievances, so you sent this little friend to help me, Yunxi Xiaoyou, I thank you in advance." But before I tell you about the grievances, you should stop your friends from buying that antique, which is actually a modern artifact. ”

When Yun Xi returned to the store, he saw Fan Gang and Xue Bin bargaining with the boss Qin, and at this time I heard the boss Qin say: "Two gentlemen, this price can't be lower, although this antique is only a folk kiln in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but its value is definitely more than 30,000 yuan, I have asked an expert to evaluate, and I still have an appraisal issued by an expert here." Two gentlemen, I see that you are visiting the store for the first time, so I gave you a discount of 5,000 yuan, this price is already my bottom line, can not be lowered, otherwise I will also lose money, please two gentlemen more considerate of my feelings. ”

After Fan Gang and Xue Bin glanced at each other, Xue Bin said: "Boss, we are all students, and we don't have much money on us, 20,000 yuan is already all my savings, if you want to sell it, I can only pay this price, if you think you have suffered a loss, then we will change the store and take a look." With that, Xue Bin stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time, the boss hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, please stay, since you sincerely want to buy this antique, then I will sell it to you reluctantly, and I will make friends with you, and I hope you will come to patronize my small shop next time." ”

Just when the two sides were about to reach a deal, Yun Xi suddenly came over and said: "Boss, you said that your 'blue and white five horses picture skimming bottle' is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but no matter how I look at this bottle, it looks like a modern handicraft." As far as I know, the 'blue and white five horses picture skimming bottle', it is indeed made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty, but the real 'blue and white five horses picture skimming bottle' should be a small bottle type, skimming, neck, bulging abdomen, waist, high circle foot, bottle body through the scene to draw the willow five horses, five horses have their own form, but the eyes are all raised, a look of Huai Cai did not meet, quite Huayan's painting style, and the five horses painted on your bottle do not have such a demeanor. In the past, the ancients often regarded horses as talents, Gong Zizhen's "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" cloud: Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and ten thousand horses are sad to study, I advise the heavenly prince to be vigorous and eclectic to reduce talents. The image of porcelain on a horse also indicates the political atmosphere of the time. And even if the real thing is here, its price is only between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, not more than 30,000 yuan as you say. ”

As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say: "Good sentence, I advise Tiangong to be vigorous and eclectic to reduce talents, young man, your eyesight is really good, and the comments are also in place, it seems that you have worked the antique industry, you are much better than the other two silly boys, hahaha." ”

Yun Xi turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw two people standing not far behind him, an old man and a middle-aged man, and the person who spoke just now was the old man. The old man looked like he was about seventy or eighty years old, and just when Yun Xi was about to step forward to salute, Xue Bin's movements were faster than him, and then he saw Xue Bin walking quickly in front of the old man, and said respectfully: "Hello Grandpa Lin, I haven't seen you come to our house to play chess with my grandfather for a long time, but my grandfather has been talking about you at home." ”

"Hehe, just your grandfather's stinky chess basket, I let him have two sons, he can't win me, by the way, the Xue family boy, why did you come here, is it your grandfather who asked you to buy antiques for him? But your boy's eyesight is far from good, and he even treats the fake as an antique, if the young man hadn't stopped you just now, you would have waited to go back and be scolded by your grandfather. ”

"Grandpa Lin's lesson is that this time it was all thanks to the third child of our family that allowed me to save face, otherwise I would have really lost my face. Grandpa Lin, these two are my college classmates, and they are also from a dormitory, this is the eldest named Fan Gang, DB people, and this is the third child named Yun Xi, who is from CQ. ”

When Fan Gang and Yun Xi heard Xue Bin introducing them, they also hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old man, and after the old man nodded to them slightly, he said to Xue Bin: "Xue family boy, are you here to buy a birthday gift for your grandfather, I remember that it seems to be your grandfather's birthday in a few days, this old guy didn't come to inform me, see if I will go to play chess with him in the future, hum." ”

Xue Bin could only touch the back of his head in embarrassment at this time, and then the old man said to Yun Xi again: "Your name is Yun Xi, your surname is really rare, since you are accompanying the Xue family boy to buy a birthday gift for his grandfather, then do you have any good things in this store?" ”

Yun Xi paused, then he looked to the side again, and then said: "Lin Lao, we are all students, of course we can't afford too expensive antiques, but I think the pair of 'Pastel Fu Lu Shou Flower and Bird Small Cup' is very good, the price is also very moderate, and this pair of small cups is not ostentatious but also very meaningful." ”

"Oh, is it really as good as you say? Tell the boss to show us. ”

At this time, the boss Qin looked sweating profusely, and his body was trembling slightly, since the old man entered his shop, he had not dared to say a word, obviously he knew the old man, and at the same time, he was still a little afraid of the old man.

However, when he heard the old man calling him, he quickly took out the pair of 'Pastel Fulu Shou Flower and Bird Small Cups' that Yun Xi said from the shop window, and respectfully put the small cups on the table.

At this time, I saw that the old man picked up this pair of pastel cups and looked at them, and after he looked at them for a while, he smiled and said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi boy, tell me why you fell in love with this pair of pastel cups?" Is there anything special about it? ”

Yun Xi knew that Lin Lao was deliberately testing him, but fortunately, there was still a knowledgeable expert standing beside him at this time, and when Yun Xi was commenting on the blue vase just now, he was actually repeating the old man's words, so Yun Xi had long regarded him as a real antique expert in his heart. At this time, when he heard Lin Lao let him comment again, he had to continue to repeat the old man's words, and said: "This pair of 'Pastel Fu Lu Shou Flower and Bird Cup' is made in the year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the porcelain is extremely thin, dense and solid, and the outer wall is pastel painted peach trees, sika deer, and red bats, these three are each 'Fu Lu Shou' ornamentation, the painting is meticulous, the pastel hair color is clear, and it is really a fine official kiln. And its price should be around 6,000 to 8,000 yuan, so this is also what I said The price is moderate, and it is very suitable for the second child to buy it and give it to his grandfather. ”

After listening to Yun Xi's explanation, everyone applauded, Lin Lao also nodded to Yun Xi with satisfaction, and Xue Bin said happily at this time: "Third child, I didn't expect you to be not only good, but now you are so good at appreciating antiques, I really don't know how your master taught you." It seems that I have to find a time to meet your master and ask him if the old man still accepts apprentices. Why don't I worship him, and we will be brothers in the future, hahaha. ”

"And me, I also want to worship your master as a teacher, he can not teach me kung fu, but this knowledge of appraising antiques, his old man must pass it on to me, otherwise I am embarrassed to say that I am studying history, how can I join the archaeological team in the future."

Yun Xi looked at these two guys as if they would not be human if they didn't apprentice, and immediately said with a headache: "My master is too old to accept apprentices, if you want to learn anything, go and ask my senior brother, my senior brother is my master's introductory disciple, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to learn a lot from him." ”

"Wouldn't it be a generation shorter than you to worship your senior brother as a teacher, and I have to call you uncle when I see you in the future, which is not good." Xue Bin immediately shook his head. However, Fan Gang said indifferently: "As long as you can learn the ability, you can do anything, is your senior brother really willing to accept me?" ”

Just as the three of them were laughing, Lin Lao asked curiously, "Yunxi, who is your master?" Is it really as powerful as they say? ”

Yun Xi hurriedly replied: "Old Lin, my master is a Taoist priest, his Taoist name is Qinglong, people call him Qinglong Daoist, and now he lives in the Laojun Temple of CQ, don't listen to their nonsense, my master is just an ordinary Taoist priest, not as powerful as they say." ”

"It turns out that you are the apprentice of Qinglong Daoist, no wonder you have such a deep understanding of antiques, I have seen your master, and I have also dealt with your master, your master is indeed a master of the Tao. Back then, your master was very interested in some antiquities, and they became friends with the old man Xue who also loved antiquities, so the Xue family, even if you don't worship his senior brother as a teacher, you still have to call him uncle, because your grandfather and his master are friends, do you understand? Hahaha. ”

After Xue Bin listened to Lin Lao's words, his face immediately turned red, he really didn't want to call Yun Xi uncle, and Yun Xi also said a little uncomfortably: "Second brother, let's make our own friends, my master and your grandfather are friends, we can be commensurate with each other, what happened before and what we will do in the future, you say yes." ”
