Chapter 52: Selling Paintings
"Is this painting fake?" Han's mother, like the expert on TV, checked the paper and looked at the payment, and finally came to a conclusion and asked. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Nuo couldn't help laughing, even if this painting was not painted by Li Sixun, it was copied by the ancients, it was an ancient painting, but it was not a modern fake.
"No, this "Jiangfan Pavilion Map" is rigorously composed, with a corner of the mountain lining the vast river waves, with the verdant trees dripping, setting off the refreshing coolness, using scattered perspective, gathering thousands of scenes on a piece of paper. In the specific creation, the painter adopts the method of first outlining the line and then filling in the color. The outline of the mountains and rocks is outlined with ink lines of thickness and slightly square brushes, and the changes of hills and ravines are expressed in twists and turns...... The formation of the artistic conception of the eternal wonderful, with the pen vigorous, the wind and bones are steep, the color is uniform and elegant, with a decorative taste of the Jinbi landscape painting style. The style of painting is precise and rigorous, the artistic conception is superb, the pen is strong, and the colors are rich, which is unique. It is precisely the characteristics of Li Sixun's school that modern people cannot imitate. I think that even if this painting is not a work of Li Sixun, it is also a simulated painting by people in the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a thousand-year-old painting. β
Han's mother took a breath: "A thousand-year-old painting!" How much money does this cost? β
Hannuo: "I don't know. But it should be able to sell for tens of millions. Hehe, you know, I only bought it back for two hundred dollars. β
"Two hundred dollars! It's so cheap, even if it's not real, it's worth it for being so beautiful. When the time comes, you won't be able to sell it, so I'll frame it and hang it in our living room. "Han's mother still doesn't believe that the painting is real. As for tens of millions or something, Han Ma didn't count on it. They have food, clothing, and shelter, and they don't expect to make a windfall.
Han's father was entangled in the fact that he had never heard the name of the painter, and asked, "Who is Li Sixun?" β
"A more famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, he was respected by Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty as the ancestor of landscape painting 'Beizong'." Han Nuo explained his father's doubts, "This person can be said to be both civil and military. He is a member of the Li Tang clan, the grandson of Li Shuliang, the cousin of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the king of Changping, the son of Shi Li Xiaobin, the governor of Yuanzhou, and the uncle of the famous prime minister Li Linfu. Famous for his military exploits. He once served as the general of Wuwei and was known as 'General Li'. β
Dad Han smacked his lips after hearing this: "In the Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of people who were both civil and military, and Li Bai, a poet and immortal with a face, knew how to use fencing skills, and traveled the world with a sword." β
Han Nuo nodded: "The Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous and interesting dynasty. By the way, I'll go to the provincial capital tomorrow. β
Han's father and Han's mother understand her purpose, and their daughter must be selling paintings.
"How many days are you going?" Han's mother asked.
Han Nuo said: "Three days at most." β
Han's father: "Go and live at your third uncle's house." He had an empty room there, and it was close to the fairy bridge. β
Han Nuo shook his head: "Troublesome, it's not as convenient as my stay in a hotel." β
If Han's father and Han's mother went to the provincial capital together, she would follow them to live in her uncle's and aunt's house, but if Han Nuo was alone, she would prefer to live in a hotel, without the restraint of living in someone else's house.
"Whatever you want." Han's father and Han's mother understood that their daughter was alienated from her relatives because of her perennial relationship in other places, so she didn't force her.
The next day, Han Nuo went to the train station early in the morning and bought a ticket to the provincial capital. Maybe it's fast and cheap to take the train, there are a lot of people who take the train to the provincial capital, although it's not a weekend, the tickets have been sold out, and the aisles are all full of people, including the toilet door. Han Nuo stood at the door, swayed all the way with the train, and finally arrived at the provincial capital, only waiting for the conductor to open the door, and the first one rushed out. Emma, it smells terrible!
Out of the train station, Han Nuo took a taxi directly to the Xianqiao Antique Market. Songxianqiao Antique City is located in the famous Huanhua Cultural Scenic Area on the bank of the Modi River in the provincial urban area. It is rumored that Lu Dongbin went down to the Qingyang Palace temple fair to watch the lanterns, and went west through this bridge, so it was named "Send Immortal Bridge".
The antique market in Xiangxian Bridge is quite prosperous, the antique shops and open-air stalls in the market are one after another, like a "labyrinth" in general, there is a feeling of "not knowing the true face of Lushan, only native to this mountain". Han Nuo was not in a hurry to sell paintings, but first walked around the antique city. She first walked around various small stalls, Qin bricks and Han tiles, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, ivory carvings, Buddhist decorations, Yixing purple sand, Henan Sancai, all kinds of jade, snuff bottles, pipes, pottery, portrait seals, pictures, comic books, stamps and the Red Guard chest badge of the **** period, rebel sleeves, battlefield tabloids and other gadgets, which are dizzying. Unfortunately, many are fake. As for the real thing, the prices are relatively expensive, and there is not much collection value after buying.
Han Nuo flattened his mouth, originally thinking about picking up some small leaks, but it seemed that it would not work, so he turned around and entered those regular stores. Walking over one by one, although there was a shop dealing in calligraphy and paintings, Han Nuo did not take out the two paintings and ask for the price. She felt that with the scale of these shops, she couldn't eat these two paintings.
After wandering around the entire antique market, Han Nuo finally settled on an auction house called "Denglin Pavilion". It's not because the faΓ§ade of this house is big, but Han Nuo checked the Internet and found that this family's reputation is quite good, so he walked into the gate through the middle of the two stone lions standing upright.
"Hello, ma'am. Are you buying or selling? The welcoming lady in a cheongsam walked over and greeted Han Nuo with a low smile.
"Sell something, two ancient paintings." Hanno replied.
"Okay, please come with me." The welcome lady took Han Nuo up to the second floor. In the reception room in a row here, the welcome lady brought Han Nuo into a relatively small reception room and served her a cup of hot tea, "Please wait a while, our appraiser will come later." β
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the reception room, introduced himself as Zhang, and asked Han Nuosuo for an ancient painting that needed to be identified.
Han Nuo still only took out "Jiang Fan Pavilion Map" first.
The man's casual attitude had already been put away when he saw the "Jiang Fan Pavilion Map", and his eyes were wide and full of disbelief staring at the picture on the scroll: "This, this is the "Jiang Fan Pavilion Map"? β
Han Nuo smiled slightly: "Yes." I can't be sure if this is Li Sixun's own handwriting, but I can be sure that this painting is also from the Tang Dynasty, and even if it is copied, the level of copying is very high. β
The man didn't listen to Han Nuo's words at all, and devoted all his attention to appraising the ancient paintings. White gloves, magnifying glass...... In order not to let his breath spray on the painting, the man even put on a mask. This move made Han Nuo have a good impression of him.
After more than half an hour, the man finally raised his head and took off his mask. Han Nuo thought that he had completed the appraisal and asked, "How?" β
The man said, "I'm not sure, I need to find a few more people to identify with me." You wait a little longer here, Natsu-chan, you greet this lady. β
With that, the man quickly turned around and went out.
Xiao Xia, that is, Miss Yingbin, smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Zhang is responsible for your ancient paintings, so he won't jump to conclusions so easily." β
Han Nuo smiled, "Don't worry, I understand." β
After a few more minutes, there was a jumble of footsteps outside the door. When the door opened, several people walked in. In addition to the previous Mr. Zhang, there are several middle-aged people who are about the same age as him and a white-haired old man.
Mr. Zhang introduced Han Nuo: "This is the original master, who is very good at antique calligraphy and painting, and is an authority in our circle. β
"Hello, Master Yuan." Han Nuo greeted Master Yuan politely.
Master Hara just nodded and walked to the table. Han Nuo rubbed his nose and smiled, not caring about Master Yuan's faux pas. The attention of these people was all drawn to the ancient paintings, and she could understand it.
There are a total of five people, including Master Yuan and Mr. Zhang, and it seems that Mr. Zhang has brought in all the appraisers from the Landing Pavilion. Several people studied and discussed, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Ms. Han, your "Jiang Fan Loft Map" is real." Master Yuan smiled, and when he talked to Han Nuo, his attitude was so good that he didn't see the coldness before at all.
Han Nuo smiled and said, "That's good." I also need more identification from the original master. β
Master Yuan laughed and asked, "Ms. Han, are you going to entrust our auction house with this painting?" Or sell directly to our auction house? β
This business must be done, the original master said in his heart, so thank you for the time to study this "Jiangfan Pavilion Map".
Naturally, the auction house will get more money from the auction, but Han Nuo urgently needs money, so he directly sold this "Jiangfan Pavilion Picture" to the auction house for 8 million yuan - it was definitely sold cheaply.
The transaction was completed, and Master Yuan was about to leave with a group of appraisers, but was stopped by Han Nuo.
"Master Yuan, I still have an ancient painting, I want you to help identify it."
The original masters and appraisers immediately stopped, their eyes shining at Han Nuo. There was a "Jiangfan Pavilion Map" before, and the next one shouldn't be bad, right?
Han Nuo took out the "Lady of the Kingdom of Yu Chun" and spread it out.
"Boom ~~~~~~~" continuous pumping sounds.
"This is "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu"?!" Master Yuan went up in spite of his image, and the reaction of the other appraisers was not much better than his.
Han Nuo stepped aside and said to the welcoming Xiao Xia with a smile: "Trouble, pour me another cup of hot tea." β
Konatsu (βwβ): "Okay. β
In the end, "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" was also identified as genuine. Han Nuo did not sell it directly this time, but chose to auction it. The auction will be held in Hong Kong next month, and Master Yuan gave Han Nuo an invitation to come in person. Han Nuo thought about it, he didn't have anything to do, so he agreed. Master Yuan cordially shook hands with Han Nuo and said goodbye, welcoming her to come back next time.
Hanno~( Μβ½ Μ~)(~ Μβ½ Μ)~:"Yes." β
Don't bring too little goodies to the trash can. There is definitely a chance to work with Denglin Pavilion again.
Welcome Xiao Xia with a smile on her face, don't be too courteous to send away the "God of Wealth" Han Nuo. The bonus she received for receiving Han Nuo today was equivalent to one month's salary.
The money had already arrived, Han Nuo was not in the mood to go any further, and hurriedly found a nearby bank and transferred the money according to the bank account number sent by Zhang Mingqiao. Inevitably, 300,000 was not enough, so Han Nuo called another 100,000 more.
Two minutes later, Han Nuo received a call from Zhang Mingqiao.
"Sister-in-law, there's a lot of money."
Han Nuo said: "If you have more money, you can take it." I'm not short of money, when the money runs out, you call me again, and I'll send it to you. β
Zhang Mingqiao's voice was choked, with a hint of crying: "Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you." β
Hanging up the phone, Han Nuo sighed. She had already learned the reason for Zhang Mingqiao's borrowing from another comrade-in-arms of Wei Feng: Zhang Mingqiao's eldest brother and sister-in-law had a car accident, and the sister-in-law died on the spot, and the eldest brother broke two legs. Zhang Mingqiao's mother collapsed when she heard the bad news, leaving only his elderly father and two-year-old nephew. It takes a lot of money to save Brother Zhang and Zhang's mother, and the Zhang family is not rich and can't come up with so much money at once. Although the salary of the special forces is high, Zhang Mingqiao's savings are not much, and all of them are taken out to co-author Zhang's father and brother Zhang's savings, which are only more than 600,000 yuan, and the treatment of two is more than 1 million, Zhang Mingqiao has no choice but to borrow debts. But his comrades-in-arms are not rich either, and Zhang Mingqiao can only find Han Nuo. He was thinking about the pension that Wei Feng left to Han Nuo, he wasn't sure if Han Nuo had used up the money, and he wasn't sure if Han Nuo would help him in Wei Feng's affection, but he really had no choice but to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor. Unexpectedly, Han Nuo was really the best woman in the world as Wei Feng said, not only did she lend him money at a low cost without asking the reason, but she was also afraid that he would not have enough money, so she borrowed him an extra 100,000 yuan. The money arrived in time, and Zhang Mingqiao's mother and eldest brother were properly treated and out of danger.
In addition to Zhang Mingqiao, many of Wei Feng's comrades-in-arms have encountered various family difficulties that cannot be solved, and now they have money in hand and channels to make money quickly. Han Nuo wanted to set up a fund to help the soldiers solve their family's difficulties. This idea was still thought of by Wei Feng, but unfortunately the others were no longer there, so Han Nuo decided to help him realize it. However, this matter is not urgent. To run a foundation, the procedures and management are too troublesome, Han Nuo is a lazy person, but she doesn't want to be entangled in these things, she wants to find a collaborator first, and only pay for herself, and push all the trivial matters to another person.
After staying in the pavilion for two hours, and staying at the bank for half an hour, it was already past noon, Han Nuo touched his empty belly, found a small shop, solved lunch, and opened a room in a nearby four-star hotel. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she sold the painting in half a day and got the money and remitted the money to Zhang Mingqiao, and then she didn't know what to do. But since you have come to the provincial capital, let's play for two more days and go back. Han Nuo did not go to the surrounding scenic spots Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Qingyang Palace and other places to play, but ran to Chunxi Road, the most famous pedestrian street in the provincial capital, and the lotus pond of the wholesale market, and spent money with big feet, bought a lot of food, clothing, and use, and almost drowned it. There were too many things, Han Nuo couldn't take them at all, and in the end she didn't make a train, so she rented a small car, filled half of the carriage, and let the car send her home.
