Chapter 456 & 457 The Magical Ancient Painting (1) (2)
More than half an hour later, Wang Jiajia came back.
When she came back, Wang Jiajia's eyes were still a little red, and this trip gave her a deeper understanding of Ergen's affairs. is worthy of being a professional reporter, and after only a few words of chat with Ergen's mother, she asked her to tell her about her situation.
"Li Yang, I want to write a short story with Ergen's story, you have to help me read it first after I finish writing, okay?"
Ergen's story also gave Wang Jiajia a great shock, and it can be said that she was more surprised than the story of Ma Fatzi. Ma Fatzi's house is broken, but at least everyone is still there, as long as Ma Fatzi changes his mind and starts again, his family can still be restored.
Ergen's father never came back, leaving them orphaned and widowed, and a lot of debts. If Ergen hadn't met Li Yang, maybe he would have continued to live with Boss Niu now, unable to live with his mother, and his mother would not dare to come back to see the son he was concerned about because of avoiding debts.
"Okay, let's go first!"
Li Yang nodded, he didn't have any objection to Wang Jiajia's idea, and it was good to have such a story to let more people understand the cruelty of gambling stones. Because of the appreciation of jadeite, there are now a lot of new gambling stone players across the country, and people with big gambling properties can go bankrupt if they are not careful.
After the incident of Boss Niu and Ergen, most of the time of this morning has passed, but it is still early to eat at this time, and Li Yang and a few people happen to take a turn in this Pan homeland.
He Jie didn't have any opinion on this, he still thought about whether he could take advantage of Li Yang's good luck to pick up the leak, although the old man said that he didn't let him prepare a birthday gift, but on the day of his birthday, he couldn't be empty-handed, if he could get something that the old man liked, wouldn't it make the old man even happier.
When leaving, Li Yang glanced at Ergen again, Ergen's face was showing a bright smile, and the current life should be the happiest for Ergen.
At the end of October, the weather is still very cool, and the antique market has been unusually hot recently, and there are a lot of people at the door of each antique shop.
The lively popularity has also driven a lot of business, and some people say that it has now entered the era of national ***, which is not unreasonable.
Tao Yaju is a very ordinary antique shop in Panjiayuan, the store has more than 50 square meters, mainly engaged in ceramics and calligraphy and painting, and some miscellaneous items for sale, there are many such antique shops in Panjiayuan.
After leaving Ergen, Li Yang and a few people slowly browsed these antique shops, Wang Jiajia was also very interested in these antique things, and sometimes asked Li Yang which things were good and which things were not good.
After walking a few houses, Wang Jiajia has an extra piece of inherited ancient jade in his hand, the jade is the shape of a phoenix, it is a hosta of the Qing Dynasty, Li Yang spent 80,000 yuan to buy it and give it to Wang Jiajia, Wang Jiajia did not refuse, and happily accepted it.
Seeing the sweet appearance of Li Yang and Wang Jiajia, He Jie couldn't help but be a little jealous of Li Yang's good luck.
Wang Jiajia is a famous little beauty in the yard, and several sons and daughters are staring at it, it turns out that Wang Jiajia has not graduated yet, and the people of the Wang family have no intention of this. After Wang Jiajia graduated, he suddenly went to Zhengzhou again, and before some sons and brothers had time to act, they had already been picked up by Li Yang.
"What good things do you have here, bring me the first ones!"
As soon as they entered this Tao Yaju, Li Yang and the others heard a very arrogant person shouting there, He Jie's brows furrowed slightly, and Li Yang turned his head to take a look.
There were a dozen or so customers in the store, but the most conspicuous was the young man standing in front of the counter in the middle, and the young man had a follower standing next to him.
"Yes, yes, what do you want?"
Zheng, the owner of the shop, was busy introducing things to others, and when he saw this young man, he immediately ran over with a smile on his face.
"Didn't I say, I want you to be the best and most valuable thing, I can tell you, don't fool me, I'm a knowledgeable person!"
The young man frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, while Li Yang shook his head gently.
"Li Yang, how about you come and see this?"
He Jie suddenly beckoned to Li Yang, He Jie was looking at a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and a salesman was introducing He Jie, He Jie's clothes and temperament were different from others, as soon as he entered the store, he was stared at by the salesman here, He Jie behaved like this Everywhere is a high-quality customer.
Li Yang took Wang Jiajia's hand and walked over, he didn't know much about calligraphy and painting Li Yang, but he was much better than He Jie, a person who didn't know anything.
This is a landscape ink painting, the signature is Su Tong, Su Tong is a female painter in Taiwan in the sixties and seventies, with a certain reputation, but due to the relationship with Taiwan, Su Tong's words did not circulate in the mainland in the early years, and now only a small number of people have begun to *** her works.
Because of this, her paintings are good, but the value is not high, and each one is only tens of thousands of yuan.
Li Yang took a closer look, the aperture of things within sixty years is the same, and it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the aperture alone, Su Tong's words Li Yang has never seen it, and he can't use a three-dimensional picture to analyze the characteristics of it, this time Li Yang can only judge by relying on the little calligraphy and painting knowledge he has learned.
For the sake of safety, after looking at it for a while, Li Yang still stretched out his special ability to incorporate this painting into a three-dimensional picture for observation.
The forgery technology of modern calligraphy and painting is also very superb, and soy sauce paintings are endless, Li Yang's ability in calligraphy and painting is the weakest, in case it is not good, it will affect his description in Wang Jiajia's mind.
With his girlfriend by his side, Li Yang didn't want to make any mistakes.
"This painting has a certain artistic conception, Su Tong's painting will appreciate a lot in the future, but at this time, there are not many people who paint her, I think this should be a genuine product!"
After a while, Li Yang nodded slowly, this painting is not a soy sauce painting, and the paper used is also good, and the brushwork is very old-fashioned.
Li Yang doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but the simple artistic conception can still be seen a little, even if this painting is not painted by Su Tong, the value will not be less than 30,000. Su Tong's genuine product is only worth about 50,000 yuan, so there is no need to imitate her, it is better to imitate some calligraphy and paintings with higher value at this level.
Because of this, Li Yang gave such a review, but he didn't dare to be sure that it must be genuine.
"It's true, how much does your painting cost?"
He Jie's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately turned around and asked the salesman, this salesman is a woman in her thirties, she looks a little older, but she still has a little charm.
"Hello boss, your eyesight is really good, this is a painting of Su Tong that we just recently received, and it is also a masterpiece in Su Tong's works, and now Su Tong's paintings are not very popular in the mainland, but with everyone's understanding of her in the future, I believe that her words will have a great appreciation......"
"Okay, just tell me how much this painting costs!"
He Jie impatiently interrupted the salesman's introduction, he didn't understand the painting at all, and he didn't want to appreciate it when he bought it, listening to these introductions was a pure waste of time.
The salesman's face showed a little embarrassment, and then he smiled again, and said softly: "Boss, this painting of Su Tong is 78,000 yuan!" ”
The lord in front of him doesn't like to listen to the introduction, so don't talk about this, as long as he is willing to buy, the business is closed, she will also have a good commission, at this time the salesman has already regarded He Jie in front of him as a lump of money, and no one will get along with money.
"Seventy-eight thousand, a bit expensive!"
Li Yang shook his head slightly, Su Tong's paintings have the potential to appreciate in the future, but that is in the future, no one knows when it will be, if no one hypes it, it may take five or ten years. No one wants to wait for such a long time, and it is only normal that the works of such painters are not hot in the market.
After all, there are many painters like Su Tong.
"Boss, Su Tong's painting of 78,000 is not expensive, Su Tong's general painting costs 60,000, this splashed Huangshan pine seems to be one of Su Tong's few fine products, 70,000 is definitely a great value!"
The salesman said anxiously again, she can at least have a commission of more than 2,000 yuan for selling this painting, and the antique shop in Panjiayuan does not sell things worth tens of thousands of yuan every day, but more often sells those small things worth tens of hundreds of yuan.
"Okay, don't talk about it, wrap this painting for me, you can swipe the card, right?"
He Jie waved his hand, he didn't want to bargain with these salesmen for these tens of thousands of yuan, for him, things within 100,000 yuan were small amounts, and it was not worth wasting this time and energy.
Besides, he didn't want Li Yang to look down on himself, he still had to worry about tens of thousands of yuan, Li Yang's worth was very clear to him, and Li Yang had earned more than 60 million just now.
Li Yang shook his head slightly, he didn't agree with the salesman's words, this painting is good, but at least it can be said to be 10,000 yuan, if Li Yang buys it, he will definitely bargain with them, but this is He Jie buying, He Jie himself doesn't care about him and it's hard to say anything.
Li Yang's worth is very high, but he has always lived in poverty before, and he has also experienced the difficulty of making money, and he still wants to save where he can save.
"You can swipe your card, you wait!"
A bright smile immediately appeared on the face of the salesperson, and the salesperson next to him who introduced things to other customers glanced at him with envy, there are three salespeople in this store, and there is usually various competition.
The salesman took He Jie's golden bank card and walked a few steps forward, found the poss machine and swiped out the amount of 78,000, as long as He Jie signed, the business was completed, and she got the bonus.
Li Yang shook his head again, and spread his special abilities outward, because he was thinking about preparing gifts for the old man, and now when he entered an antique shop, Li Yang would display his special abilities to observe everything and see if he could meet anything suitable.
Immediately, Li Yang's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous place in the counter.
In the shops just now, Li Yang also found some small leaks, but the value was not high, except for the hosta in Wang Jiajia's hand, nothing else aroused Li Yang's interest.
The hosta is also a small leak, the shopkeeper did not recognize that it was the work of a famous carver in Suzhou, and sold it to Li Yang as an ordinary work.
There weren't many things that were obviously missing in this store, but there was one thing that caught Li Yang's attention.
Under the wooden frame in front of Li Yang, there is an ancient painting with mutilation, this painting is very mutilated, and looking at the position, you can know that the shopkeeper did not pay attention to it.
Under the three-dimensional picture, the things on this painting still look a little strange, not like ordinary ink, and the paper of this painting is very unusual, neither paper nor silk, Li Yang has never seen such a strange thing.
The most important point is that this ancient painting actually has four layers of orange-yellow aperture, according to Li Yang's experience, the orange-yellow aperture is something that is more than a thousand years old, which means that this strange ancient painting is at least 1,200 years old.
It is a miracle that a painting, or an ancient painting that has not been well preserved, can be preserved for more than 1,200 years.
"This is the best thing for you, boss, you have to figure it out, I, Yan Shao, am not someone who can be fooled casually?"
The young man at the counter in the middle suddenly shouted again, Li Yang glanced back, and there was a good Yongzheng pastel plate in front of him, this plate was also observed under Li Yang's three-dimensional picture, it was a genuine product, and it was also a fine product of the folk kiln, and the market value was definitely more than 100,000 yuan.
Li Yang glanced back at the shopkeeper, he filtered all the people when he observed things just now, and he didn't know that this was what the shopkeeper showed to the young man.
"I know, I know, Yan Shao, this is really my best thing, you can take it to an expert for identification, it's absolutely true!"
Li Yang showed a slightly surprised look, the owner of the antique shop rarely made such a guarantee, the water in the antique industry is very deep, and the powerful experts dare not guarantee that he can see every thing.
It is not easy to get the boss to say such a thing, Li Yang looked at the young man with his head up again, and seemed to understand what was going on.
This shopkeeper should know this young man, and the identity of this young man must be very important, at least to the shopkeeper, so he doesn't dare to use fakes to deceive such a guy who obviously looks like Kaizi.
After understanding, Li Yang didn't care about them, he directly pointed to the inside, and asked the salesman, "Can you take out that thing and let me take a look!" ”
Li Yang was most interested in that strange ancient painting, which gave him a very unusual feeling, which Li Yang had not appeared for a long time.
"This? Good! ”
The salesman glared, asked suspiciously, and then looked at He Jie beside Li Yang, and then turned around to take the ancient painting that Li Yang was referring to.
This ancient painting has been in their store for a long time, and when the owner first received it, it felt a little doorway, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything and put it in the store for sale.
At first, the shopkeeper set a price of 1,000 yuan for this ancient painting, but everyone who saw this painting shook their heads, and they didn't even mean to bargain.
Later, the boss dropped to five hundred, and then to the current three hundred, but he still couldn't sell it, and the owner of the store didn't pay special attention to the things that cost a few hundred yuan, so he rolled them up and put them there casually.
This salesman is an old man in the store, and she is very familiar with this ancient painting, not that no one has seen it before, but no one wants to ask for three hundred, in her own opinion, such a thing can be sold for a hundred yuan is considered lucky.
So she didn't expect Li Yang to ask to see such an inconspicuous thing, in her impression, Li Yang and He Jie should be rich, not to mention that He Jie just bought one of their seventy or eighty thousand things without blinking an eye.
The old painting was quickly brought up, and there was still some dust on it, and the salesman cleaned the dust on it before bringing it to the table.
Wang Jiajia and He Jie looked at this ancient painting curiously, and anything Li Yang cared about would arouse their curiosity.
The salesman slowly unfolded this ancient painting on the wooden counter, the ancient painting is not big, only half a meter long, and it is an ancient painting that has not been framed, the owner of the store once had the idea of framing, but unfortunately the value is too low, and finally he is too lazy to waste time and energy.
"Li Yang, what is this?"
As soon as the ancient painting was opened, Wang Jiajia immediately asked, his eyes were still round, and the unfolded ancient painting revealed its true face, this strange painting paper that is not like paper or silk also looks very strange to the naked eye, and there seem to be some uneven places on the painting paper.
"I don't know!"
Li Yang's expression was a little serious, and he looked at the things on the painting closely, this painting is not only a strange paper, but also a strange thing, I can't see what it looks like, a bit like a mountain, but there are no trees, and it is overlapping, there are pieces of ink paintings that resemble human shapes on the painting, but there are no facial features, and the whole painting is full of strangeness.
However, one thing is certain, this painting must be an old thing, and Li Yang felt the unique aura of the old thing when he opened it.
If it weren't for this reason, the shopkeeper probably wouldn't have taken such a strange thing.
"Is this a painting?"
He Jie frowned, and also asked Li Yang, Liu Gang actually had the same questions as He Jie in his heart, but he didn't ask them.
"It's a painting, but I've never seen a painting like this!"
Li Yang shook his head, he was also a little helpless in his heart, he had never even heard of such a strange ancient painting, let alone understood it.
"How much do you paint here?"
Li Yang suddenly raised his head and asked the salesman, the salesman was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied: "This painting, three hundred yuan!" ”
Three hundred is their boss's price, and it can be adjusted appropriately, no less than two hundred can be sold, two hundred is the purchase price of the shop owner, this painting is an old thing after all, and he is not willing to do a business that loses money.
"Three hundred, I want it!"
This time, Li Yang had no intention of counteroffering, three hundred yuan was not much, and there was no point in paying it back.
took out his wallet, took out three red tickets and handed them to the salesman, and the business was completed. The salesman put the money in, and when he came back, he gave Li Yang a bag. The value of the things Li Yang bought is not high, but she still has to do the service that she should do.
After buying the ancient painting, Li Yang shook his head again, he thought that he would have time to take it to Fang Lao to show it, Fang Lao was an expert in this area.
Li Yang also has a lot of doubts about this painting.
Others don't know the real historical time of this painting, but Li Yang is very clear. It's hard to imagine that an ancient painting has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and it has not been properly kept, and it can still be handed down, and there is no damage.
Maybe it has something to do with the difference in paper, which itself is a very strange thing.
"Let's go!"
After buying something, there was nothing else noteworthy about this store, so Li Yang had no interest in continuing to stay, picked up the ancient painting that was still unfolding, and walked out while looking at it, this painting didn't cost much money, and Li Yang's heart didn't pay much attention to it.
"Walk slowly, welcome to come back next time!"
The salesman hurriedly walked out to send Li Yang to them, and the most important thing is to send He Jie, He Jie has become a good customer in her mind, and he is the best kind.
Walking to the door, Li Yang was about to put away this ancient painting, now that it is almost noon, Li Yang's heart to visit the antique shop is not so high, thinking about finding a place to prepare for lunch, Li Yang was in a hurry to come out this morning and eat very little for breakfast, this will be hungry for a long time.
"Be careful!"
Liu Gang suddenly walked in front of Li Yang in two steps, and stopped a little girl who hurriedly ran in from the outside with his hand, the little girl looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was still holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and she screamed after being stopped by Liu Gang.
Several people were stunned for a moment, this little girl ran very fast, if she hadn't been stopped by Liu Gang, it was estimated that she would have crashed into Li Yang's body. But now it's not much better, after Liu Gang stopped her, the little girl almost didn't fall to the ground because of inertia, and the water in the bottle in her hand spilled out.
"Are you alright?"
Wang Jiajia hurriedly walked over, Wang Jiajia also breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Gang came, it was one of his tasks to protect Li Yang, although the little girl didn't seem to be harmful, Liu Gang didn't allow her to collide with Li Yang, Liu Gang completely treated Li Yang as a leader to protect.
It's just that this little girl is a girl after all, and it's not appropriate for him to keep pulling others, if it weren't for the fear that this little girl would fall, Liu Gang would have let go a long time ago.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry!"
The little girl's face was slightly red, and she slowly raised her head, and there was only a little water left in the mineral water bottle in her hand, and everything else was spilled.
After raising her head, the little girl was immediately stunned, looking at the things in front of her in disbelief, Wang Jiajia looked at her very strangely, and then turned her head, and the next moment, Wang Jiajia stayed there as a whole.
He Jie, Liu Gang's expression was the same as theirs, He Jie's mouth was already wide, his eyes were bulging, and he even seemed to be a little protruding outward, staring at him to the extent that he couldn't take a step wider, and he looked like he had seen a ghost
