"That's right. But forget about the gifts. I'm glad you can come to the master. A smile bloomed on Lin Lao's face again.

"That's not going to work." Liu Tao waved his hand and said, "How can you say that this is also your old 70th birthday, and you must give a gift." That's it, master, I want to go to Rong Bao Zhai in the afternoon. ”

"Rong Bao Zhai's things are a little more expensive. Are you really sure you want to go? Lin Lao frowned. Rong Bao Zhai's things are at least 30% more expensive than the outside, which is a fact that everyone knows. However, there is an advantage in Rong Bao Zhai, you don't have to worry about buying fakes. If you buy a fake, Rong Bao Zhai will have to compensate more than ten times the price!

Of course, it is impossible for Rong Bao Zhai to allow fakes! As a century-old brand in China, if there is really a fake, it will have a great impact on the reputation, and Rong Bao Zhai has gone downhill since then.

Therefore, fakes are absolutely not allowed to enter Rong Bao Zhai!

"The price is not a problem, as long as there is something." Liu Tao patted his chest and said with a smile: "Master, don't look at my age, I'm not bad for money!" ”

"I also know you're not bad for money. Alas, when I was your age, I was still working for others in the store, and you are good, you are already worth hundreds of millions. Lin Lao said with some emotion.

"I said master, don't say so sad, okay. As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. If we can't even compare to you, I'm afraid you will have to complain that we are incapable again. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"That's right. When are you going to go? Let Chen Fang accompany you, so that you can take care of it. Lin Lao said.

"Okay! But I'm going to take a taxi, not your car. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.

"Why?" Lin Lao was puzzled.

"Master, you think! You are the chief expert of the Beijing Museum, and the people of Rong Bao Zhai must know you. If I go in your car, they will think that you are old enough to patronize them Rong Bao Zhai. When the time comes, I'm really overwhelmed by the fact that I'm going to have a welcome ceremony. Besides, I'm here to pick up the leaks, if they know I'm your apprentice. How will you pick up the leaks when the time comes? Maybe they won't sell what I like when the time comes, so how wronged am I, right? Liu Tao said his reasons again.

"I didn't expect you to be a big person, but you have a lot of eyes. It's good. After lunch, you and Chen Fang can take a taxi together. If anything, call me. This is the capital, not the riverside, so you must be cautious in everything and don't conflict with others. Lin Lao said earnestly.

His words are not unreasonable. After all, the capital is the political center of the Huaxia Kingdom. There are so many officials, and naturally there are many family children, commonly known as the so-called second generation of officials. If there is really a conflict and you offend someone who can't be offended, it will really not end well.

He has worked hard in the capital for so many years, and his children are very promising, and he doesn't want this good situation to be buried.

"Master, don't worry! I'm just going to buy a gift, and I won't have a conflict with others. Liu Tao said with a smile.

When Lin Lao saw him say this, he didn't say anything at the moment.

Had lunch. Liu Tao and Chen Fang went out, stopped a taxi and went to Rong Bao Zhai.

Rong Bao Zhai is a century-old store and has a great reputation in the capital. Whether it's those who play antiques or don't understand, they've basically heard of the name of Rong Bao Zhai.

However, when he arrived at the door of Rong Bao Zhai, Liu Tao felt somewhat disappointed. It's not that the gate here isn't magnificent, it's that it's too grand for him to feel disappointed.

You know, Rong Bao Zhai is a century-old brand, in his imagination Rong Bao Zhai must be in an ancient building, green bricks and green tiles, giving people a sense of vicissitudes of the times.

It's good here! The gates are brand new! The building is brand new, too!

If it weren't for the plaque on the storefront, there were three big characters on it. He really thought he was in the wrong place.

"Ah Tao, I see that your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" Chen Fang had also noticed Liu Tao's reaction at this time, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Liu Tao shook his head. Say, "I'm fine." Let's go in and have a look. ”

Chen Fang nodded, and the two entered Rong Bao Zhai one after the other.

Rong Bao Zhai is a total of four floors. The first floor is placed with some relatively cheap antique calligraphy and paintings, the second floor is placed with some relatively precious antique calligraphy and paintings, most of which are between 50,000 and 500,000, and the third floor is placed with some more precious antique calligraphy and paintings, and the cheapest is also 500,000 to go up. As for the fourth floor, there are some items that are not for sale. Just for everyone to enjoy.

I have to say that Liu Tao's knowledge of antiques is still relatively lacking, and his biggest advantage is to use Tianyan to break these antiques!

This is his greatest strength!

There are really a lot of things in Rong Bao Zhai, and there are text descriptions next to each one. In this way, Liu Tao just took the opportunity to study.

I read seven or eight pieces in a row, and basically the things are consistent with the text description. From this point, it can also be seen that Rong Bao Zhai is indeed not in vain, and the level of identification experts is also quite high.

Liu Tao looked at the first floor for a while and felt that it was not interesting.

So he went to the second floor with Chen Fang.

There are a lot less things on the second floor than on the first floor. Liu Tao casually looked at a few pieces, and they were all very right.

Soon, however, he discovered something that was different from the description.

This is a calligraphy and painting.

But this calligraphy and painting look weird.

The painting depicts four beauties, but they are all painted crookedly. Even if you're just starting to learn how to draw, you're probably not going to do that.

It's really strange that such a picture is placed here.

Judging from the annual rings shown, this painting is from the early Song Dynasty.

Such a painting without any name, even if it is from the Song Dynasty, is estimated to be worth thousands of yuan. Liu Tao glanced at the price set by Rong Bao Zhai, which showed that it was 60,000 yuan.

"Sir, do you want to buy this painting?" At this time, the clerk also noticed that Liu Tao was admiring the painting and stepped forward to greet him.

"There is this idea. However, is this painting a little more expensive? Liu Tao smiled and asked.

"This painting is from the Song Dynasty, and 60,000 yuan is not expensive." The clerk explained.

"I'll take another look." Liu Tao glanced at the painting, shook his head, and said.

Seeing him say this, the clerk turned around and greeted the other customers.

Due to the hot weather now, the temperature in the capital is quite high, Liu Tao was sweating profusely when he entered the store just now, although there was air conditioning in Rong Bao Zhai, but the sweat still flowed down his cheeks.

There was just a drop of sweat dripping on the painting!

Liu Tao suddenly had a bad heart!

You know, you can't touch the water!

Just when he was about to wipe it with one foot, he suddenly found that this drop of sweat actually stayed on the surface of the picture quality! What was even more surprising was that this drop of sweat fell right on the right eye of one of the beauties, and he found that this eye suddenly seemed to be alive!

Could it be that this painting needs to be seen in water?! He put a question mark in his mind. (To be continued.) )
