Chapter 550: The Great Sage's Last Voice
It's mid-September, Chang'an, as a big city in the north, although the sun is still hanging high in the sky, but the heat is not as unbearable as midsummer, so although there are not many people in front of those stalls, there are still one or two hundred people looking at the goods.
Moreover, there are a few stalls that should have put out good things, so there are more people, one of them is surrounded by several floors, and nothing can be seen on the periphery, and they are anxious to jump up and down to inquire, so it seems to be very lively.
Ma Weizhong looked at the scene over there, revealing an inquiring look, while Li Yi shook his head, it's all lively like that, how can you pick up the leaks? Let's look all the way down.
There are a lot of stalls, and the things that are put out are even more mixed. However, after walking more than a dozen stalls, Li Yi found that almost all the antique categories were complete, but the quality of these things was really a little out of his hands, even if he occasionally found one or two pieces that looked good, but as soon as he got started, he knew that they were all fake.
In the blink of an eye, most of the more than 100 stalls were gone, and seeing that Li Yi not only didn't buy a single thing, but didn't even stop to look at it more than 10 times, Ma Weizhong finally couldn't help it.
"Just look at it, you can see it?"
Li Yi smiled and shook his head,
"It's definitely a little faster, there must be omissions, but this is related to my goal this time, such as philatelic products, play pieces, carvings, even if there are leaks, most of them are small leaks, we have limited time, we can't see everything......
After explaining, Ma Weizhong stopped talking, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, it's true that everyone wants to pick up the big leak, but is the big leak really that easy to pick up?
Walking and watching all the way, the two soon came to the stall that had just been surrounded by everyone, but at this moment, the people had almost dispersed, and Li Yi also saw at a glance what everyone had just paid attention to, which should be the guqin that was placed at the front of the stall by the boss, wide in front and narrow in the back, about one meter and two meters long.
Guqin is the earliest stringed instrument of the Han nation, is a treasure in Han culture, since the Tang and Song dynasties, there are guqin handed down in all dynasties, among which the fine value is very expensive.
Li Yi remembers that a guqin named "Songshi Jianyi" made by the "Guanqin Bureau" in Tokyo during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty once sold for a sky-high price of 130 million yuan of soft sister coins, which is currently the most expensive guqin, and also set an auction record for musical instruments in the world. Before it, this record belonged to the Confucian Mansion in the late Ming Dynasty, and was later included in the "Imperial Book Hall" and became the famous qin of the Qianlong Imperial Guqin, and the transaction price at the auction was 58 million soft sister coins.
As for the legendary four famous pianos in ancient China, they are even more priceless. It is a pity that these four guqins only exist in legends, and no one has been able to see them so far.
The shape of the guqin is different from dynasty to dynasty, there are about 14 common qin styles at present, and the broken dynasty of the guqin, in addition to the inscription, the broken lines on the lacquer is also a very important basis.
Due to the difference between the vibration of long-term performance and the wood and lacquer bottom, a variety of broken lines can be formed on the lacquer, and there are as many as seven or eight common ones.
Li Yi is not very familiar with the guqin, he has only seen the appearance of various qin styles in the data, and he has only studied the broken lines superficially, but since he took He Shou Wu water, his memory is superhuman, so although he has not studied it in depth, he can basically see a little bit about the qin style and the type of broken lines.
The guqin in front of him is a standard Fuxi-style seven-string guqin, although it is not possible to see the true and false age of the qin at a glance, but the strings are obvious, and they are all matched.
This guqin, the whole body is painted with chestnut shell paint, there is black between them, and there are dozens of obvious cow hair-like broken lines on the lacquer surface, but with Li Yi's current level, he can only recognize this shape as a broken cow hair, but he can't determine the authenticity, let alone break the dynasty according to the broken lines.
Since you can't see anything from the lacquer, you have to look at the inscription of the guqin.
Generally speaking, the guqin will have two places to leave a style, one is the back of the piano, both are engraved, and the other is the belly, there are two kinds of engraved and written, among which the knife carver is easy to preserve, and if the ink is written for a long time, it is more difficult to identify.
In contrast, the engraving in the belly of the guqin is more important, because if there are no traces of rebuilding at the adhesive parts of the upper and lower plates on both sides of the body, most of them are original, and they are not as easy to fake as the engraving on the back of the piano.
Turning the guqin over, Li Yi saw the four-character cursive inscription on the back of the qin above the dragon pond at a glance, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, what kind of guqin are you imitating, you actually want to imitate the most famous "Great Sage Voice" in the Tang Dynasty Guqin? That qin is a famous piano with an orderly inheritance, and the auction price is as high as 115 million, but who will not know if you have studied the guqin?
Just as he was about to put the qin down, his eyes suddenly moved, and he noticed the 16-character Lishu inscriptions on both sides of the dragon pool, and couldn't help frowning.
The piano can't tell the truth from the fake, but he can see the quality of the word, just now the cursive "Great Sage's Voice" he felt a little wrong, this will see the familiar Lishu, only to suddenly wake up, although the piano nine become fake, but this word is really good, very like from the hands of a famous artist.
"The Great Sage's Last Words. The giant gully welcomes autumn, and the cold river prints the moon. Ten thousand sounds are long, and the lonely tung is cracked. Li Yi, this word is good, this piano, it shouldn't be fake, right? ”
At this time, Ma Weizhong also noticed the inscription on the back of the piano, although he didn't understand the guqin, he didn't know the preciousness of the "Great Sage's Relic Qin", but like Li Yi, he could see the extraordinaryness of these 20 words at a glance.
Li Yi shook his head, turned the piano sideways, and looked at the remaining money on both sides of the inner pool of the piano belly, and sure enough, it was also the four words "Zhide Bingshen" in Zhu Qili's book, and he couldn't help but open the spirit card suspiciously.
A meager cool air flowed in, and the Jianling card quickly came to the conclusion that this was actually a "Great Sage Relic Sound Piano" imitated by a famous court teacher during the Yongzheng period!
"Boss, how do you sell this piano?"
"5 million, no bargaining."
"5 million, so expensive?!"
Before Li Yi could speak, Ma Weizhong had already exclaimed. In his opinion, even if this piano is really an old object, it is only a few hundred thousand at most, but he didn't expect that the boss's shouting price was nearly ten times higher than his expectations!
"Really not bargaining? 3.5 million sold or not? ”
The boss shook his head.
"It's really not a bargain! Friend, I'll give you the truth, this piano is a friend of mine asked me to sell on behalf of me, although he can't say the specific age, but since his grandfather's grandfather, this piano is in his house, so, this is definitely a genuine guqin. ”
Li Yi nodded, the guqin is a real guqin, but he is a little uncertain about this price, he thinks that 3.5 million to 4 million should be the real value of this guqin, 5 million, most of it is high.
Seeing that Li Yi was a little hesitant, the boss took out a stack of blue silk thread-bound ancient books from the package behind the stall and put them in front of him.
"These are six guqin scores, and they are also my friend's, if you want to buy a piano, these can be given to you!"
Li Yi was slightly stunned, glanced at the blue silk surface of the guqin score, suddenly raised his eyebrows, picked up the top one, briefly flipped through a few pages, and then touched the cover of the remaining books, nodded, this qin, he bought it!
"5 million?"
"5 million! I'll transfer you now! ”
Seeing that Li Yi took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer money, Ma Weizhong hurriedly grabbed him,
"You don't look anymore? That's 5 million! ”
"Don't look at it, the piano is true, although the price is a little more expensive than the market price, but this kind of quality is hard to find, so sooner or later it will definitely rise."
Ma Weizhong opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Li Yi's transfer with bulging eyes. After a while, the boss received a text message prompt, but he was a little uneasy, so he asked the people next to him to help him watch the stall, and he took Li Yi to find an ATM, inserted the card into it to inquire, and found that there was indeed more than 5 million in the account, and then let the two leave.
"5 million...... Just such a thing, I have more than 100 calligraphy and paintings...... Li Yi, I'll just follow you in the future! ”
Ma Weizhong held the guqin and stroked the soft surface of the black velvet piano bag, with a look full of emotion.
"What are you messing with me? This piano is not profitable! ”
"Come on, I didn't know what to say to the boss just now, and now you are still playing tricks on me, I'm afraid of a treat, aren't you? Well, I'm not going to kill you, I'll just have a whole bowl of noodles later, but you have to tell me how much this piano is worth! ”
Li Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this,
"This piano should be an imitation piano in the early Qing Dynasty, although I am not sure about the specific price, but more than 3 million should be more reliable."
"Only more than 3 million? No way! Hurry up and explain honestly, otherwise I will go back to Mr. Zhong to complain, saying that the works in your competition are purely coping, and you don't care to paint at all! ”
"Oh, I haven't finished saying this yet, you rushed to say it, and threatened me like this, I won't say it!"
"Don't mind, hurry, or I'll invite you at noon?"
Li Yi smiled and shook his head, this Ma Weizhong looked serious when he first came into contact, but he didn't expect that after a long time of contact, he was also a mischievous character.
"This guqin may have been bought at a loss, but the six piano scores given by the boss ......"
The scene of just looking through the sheet music flashed through Li Yi's mind like lightning, and he couldn't help but shake his head again,
"That boss, this business seems to be taking advantage, but it is actually a big loss! Those six guqin scores, but they are all genuine Song carved books, worth 10,000 gold! ”
"Song Keben?"
Ma Weizhong was taken aback, he didn't know anything else about calligraphy and painting, but he still knew a little bit about ancient books, not to mention Song carvings, as long as anyone had heard of its value, he would definitely not forget it.
"That's right, I've read all six guqin scores, they should all be Shu books in the Northern Song Dynasty. Shu is relatively rare in the Song carvings, so it is particularly precious. This piano, let alone six copies, if you really want to exchange it, most of them won't even be able to exchange half of it! ”
"Why can't you even get half a book?"
As soon as Li Yi's words fell, he heard an unfamiliar voice, and when he turned his head, he saw a chubby little old man, standing on the side, looking at him with a smile, no, looking at the flannel bag containing the guqin in his hand!
