Chapter 102: A Thousand Dollars
Tang Yi had already raised the collection of poems to Mao Zhu's eyes at this time, "I told you that it was the first engraved version, and you also found a re-engraved version." I dare not say whether it is good or not, but this version is thirty or forty years earlier than the version of the National Library of China. This is the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty Qiandao Shen Gongya carved the book, when Shen Gongya was Wu Junshou, edited and engraved this book. ”
"This Lu Benzhong's poems are not very famous, and there are still people who have engraved his poetry collections one after another?" Mao asked, his eyes widening.
"There are too many famous poets, so it seems that he is not so famous. However, his family has been famous for generations, Gaozu and great-ancestor were both prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this person was also an official, and he also wrote a book to recover the lost land and restore the great plan. Later, he offended Qin Hui and was demoted, but in general, his reputation is not small. This collection of poems is a preface made by several more famous poets, and on the whole, it is not surprising that it is re-engraved. Tang Yi analyzed.
"I'll be obedient, I'll have to count how many pages these two volumes of poetry there are, so I can calculate the price!" Mao picked up a book of poems and began to count it carefully.
"You haven't said where you came from! These two volumes of poetry are beautifully engraved, the paper and ink are excellent, and they are so well preserved that they are obviously heirlooms, and they are definitely not something that ordinary people can take out! Tang Yi patted Mao Zhu's shoulder lightly, "Don't count!" ”
Mao counted half of it, and found that he was indeed very tired, so he stopped, "Count one volume of one hundred pages, two volumes of two hundred pages, one page of twenty thousand, a total of four million!" ”
If people who don't know how to do it hear this, I'm afraid they're going crazy, 20,000 yuan a page, what kind of paper is this?
This is not any paper, this is an engraved copy of the Song Dynasty.
In the antiques market, rare books are a very important category. Subdivided into the rare book market, to use a very vulgar analogy, the Song carved book is like the crown jewel. As early as the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Song carvings were widely valued by scholars and collectors.
20,000 a page, naturally it is not an exaggeration, and the Song Dynasty carved the book in the Ming Dynasty with the saying of "every inch of paper and every inch of gold". In today's auction market, the auction price of each page of Song carving is usually more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of 20,000 pages is normal, and even a little low.
"I say, you're much luckier than your ancestors!" Tang Yi couldn't help but joke when he saw that Mao couldn't count, "Hurry up, where did these two volumes of poetry come from?" ”
The ancestor of Mao Zhu, who Tang Yi joked, was a famous bibliophile in the late Ming Dynasty named Mao Jin. This person is amazing, there are **10,000 books in his family, and his library is called "Jigu Pavilion". This Mao Jin, in order to search for the Song carving, hung out a notice in front of the Jigu Pavilion.
"Swap it for the imperial gourd made by that eunuch!" Mao said with a smile.
"Who is so blind to change with you? Let me tell you, these two volumes can't be calculated with how much money is a page, the actual value is much higher, think about it, the Chinese National Library has not collected the edition, although it is only two of the volumes, but it is a complete two volumes, if you really want to be auctioned, it is definitely not a matter of millions! "Tang Yi is now like an expert, and Mao Zhu doesn't feel that this is pretending to be forced as before.
"The man said it was a fragment!" Mao chased and habitually pouted.
"What a big breath!" Tang Yi's eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Is there a better baby?" ”
Mao Chai looked at Tang Yi, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, I've got you a good time, let's be honest, I just keep this thing on my behalf, and it's still someone else's!" ”
"! It's white happy again. Tang Yi took the opportunity to give Mao a punch.
"Be content, it's nice to be able to hold it and appreciate it! This Song Dynasty engraving, the whole of China is probably only a thousand, those libraries have to take away **100, the people can see it, that is, it burned high
It's fragrant! Mao Zhu put the two books back into the brocade box, "Before I tell you how you came here, you can tell me first, how do you know so much about this Song carved book?" ”
I'll go! Tang Yi thought to himself, how do you say this? Can I say that it is because the brain has nine palaces and the eyes see the precious light?
"I've just looked at the auction records, there are five volumes of Southern Song Dynasty engravings that have been auctioned for 30 million, although these two volumes are small, but they are definitely more than you said. The reason why the Song engraving is precious, the most important thing is that the engraved font is basically from the hands of people who are good at calligraphy, such as the European style of these two volumes, and the other ・・・・・・ of Yan and Liu"
"Stop, stop! What did you say? I'm asking you for your identification tips! Mao shouted.
"Look at you, I said that I bury my head in reading hard every night before going to bed, and you don't believe it." Tang Yi smiled and diverted the topic, "Let's talk about how these two volumes of poetry came about, right?" ”
"Okay, don't talk about that. Then you take a look at this box first! Mao Zhu said, pushing the iron wood box in front of Tang Yi.
Tang Yi looked at it and recognized it as Tie Limu. This box is well-crafted, tightly fitted, natural and decent. It's just that the small squares on the lid are a little messy.
Picking up the box, Tang Yi suddenly shouted, "! ”
"What's wrong?" Mao Zhu hurriedly asked.
"There's something in this box!" Tang Yi blurted out.
"How do you know? I shook and didn't move! Mao was surprised, thinking that the box hadn't been opened, "How can you know?" ”
Actually, Tang Yi was in a hurry just now. The reason why he said that there was something in the box was because he found a double treasure light, a layer of relatively light cyan treasure light, obviously because of this Qing Dynasty iron power wood box, and at the same time, he also saw a layer of treasure light that was not cyan, so needless to say, it must be because of the things in the box.
"Well, this box is a trap box, I don't think it's an ordinary object, it's a bit like an object from the early Qing Dynasty. Such a box is generally not in the palace or in the home of dignitaries, and the maker must be a rare master, so there should be something inside. Tang Yi looked at Mao Zhu and had to analyze it like this.
"I know, but the question is how do you know if something hasn't been taken?" Mao Chai continued to ask.
"The weight is wrong, the things in here are heavier than Tieli wood!" Tang Yi flipped the box and suddenly had this feeling.
"Huh?" Mao Zhu also took the box and patiently checked it a few times, "Well, a little, I was in too much of a hurry at that time, and I really didn't pay much attention to it." ”
"You have a lot of questions today!" Tang Yi smiled, "These two things can't be abducted by you, right?" ”
"As soon as you leave today, the matter will come. I'm really going to have to give you a good talk. Mao clicked the lid of the box one by one, "Do you know this puzzle piece?" “
Tang Yi stared at the puzzle, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, blinked and said, "It's really not good, just chop it with a knife!" ”
