Chapter 564: The Uncovered Galloping Horse
Until they returned, none of them mentioned the elephant ear vase again.
Although he knew that He Chong had something to ask, Li Yi never explained to him. Because once he provokes this topic, he will inevitably have to answer the questions of the other two guys, and he is not interested. Another reason was that he was still hesitating whether he should buy the pair of bottles.
At the end of the talk, the boss let the price to 59.8 million. Although this price is still five or six million away from his ideal price, if you think about it carefully, if you don't use it for collection, you just want to make a lot of money. Because with his current resources, there is still a great chance of auctioning this pair of bottles for more than 70 million.
And just like the boss said, such a precious, so similar, and so good pair of bottles, even if all porcelain categories are counted, there should not be more than 10 pairs in the world. Therefore, whether from the point of view of collecting or scalping, he should not miss it.
But......
But although he was not short of money at the moment, although he had also thought about spending a lot of money at the auction to buy a few rare items he liked, but now that the matter was approaching, he realized that this decision was really not so easy to make.
He had spent more money than this at once before, but it was all gambling stones, and he knew that he could make more money by changing hands. But this is different, this is what he is going to collect, even if he knows that it will definitely not be a loss to buy, but according to his consumption concept, he still feels a little difficult to accept.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to wait and see, just like when he was poor before, he would wait for two more days if he encountered anything he wanted to buy, in case there was no desire to buy at that time?
Li Yi estimated that he would have to stay in Chang'an for at least two or three days, because not only Ma Weizhong was waiting for him to go to the stele forest together, but he also wanted to take time to go to the construction site of the little fat man Zeng Xing, and he remembered very well that the parchment roll that the guy took out last time was dug up from his construction site!
Although it may be a little late now, don't forget that his current perspective distance is more than 60 meters, and if there is anything underground, he can see it clearly even if he builds a building!
"Coming back? If you have any gains, take them out. β
When they returned to Qinchuan Villa, several old people were studying an ancient painting in the living room. Seeing them come in, Mu Wanyang's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although the words were said to a few people, his eyes were staring at Li Yi, Mu Yuyu had already called him, saying that the jade plate that this kid bought for 200 yuan might be a real Zigang brand!
"Master, this is a Longquan kiln blue-glazed bird food jar I bought, and Xiao Mu also bought a piece of jade pig ...... with eight knives."
"Oh? What about Li Yi? What about He Chong? β
He Chong smiled and took out the folding fan and the silver dollar,
"This is what Li Yihe and I bought, but now it's all his."
"What do you mean?"
"It's he who paid for my share, hehe, I took a big advantage."
Talking here, Li Yi also put the things he bought on the coffee table, a piece of Zigang jade plate, a blue and white gourd-shaped bird food jar, Yang Yunkang's Magu Shangshou bamboo root carving, and Wu Zhifan's bamboo carving arm.
"Huh? This kid bought a lot of things! β
Liu Jiuchuan picked up Li Yi's bird food jar and put it together with Wang Meng's, while Mu Wanyang just glanced at the jade pig that his granddaughter bought, and then stared at Li Yi's Zigang jade plate.
"How much did you buy this fan?"
Wang Bochun picked up the folding fan and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Zhong Haoqing.
"Master, the fan is 60,000, the silver dollar is 140,000, Magu is 80,000, and the arm is 260,000, and Li Yi also bought three Yuan Datou, but they are all regular price."
Seeing Wang Bochun looking at the silver dollar, He Chong leaned into his ear and whispered the transaction with Li Yi, Wang Bochun raised his eyebrows, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, it seems that Li Yi, this kid, not only has vision, but also is very rich, and the most important thing is that he is a very good person.
"You did the right thing in this matter, although this silver dollar was seen by you first, but if Li Yi didn't take you there, he wouldn't miss it himself, but this fan ......"
Wang Bochun shook his head, in fact, like this, several people go to shovel the land together, and there is no certain rule for the leakage that they pick up, it all depends on how the agreement between several people is made in advance.
He Chong and Li Yi didn't say anything about this issue before, so He Chong was divided in love, and it was normal not to be divided, but the reason why Wang Bochun said that he was right was actually the same as He Chong's thoughts at that time.
Moreover, because of Zhong Haoqing's relationship, he knows Li Yi better, and he knows that such a person will never take advantage of others in vain.
Since you won't suffer, you can still make friends, not to mention, you haven't brought enough money yourself!
"Forget it, I won't talk about the fan, but you'd better call your eldest brother and talk about it well, so that he can try to find a better place, but don't really let the family run for nothing at that time."
The two had a small meeting here, and over there, Mu Wanyang had already finished reading Li Yi's jade card, and like his granddaughter, he felt that more than ninety percent of this piece would be a real Zigang card!
"Lao Qin, do you have any ...... at home?"
Mu Wanyang said several things in a row, he wanted to configure a solution to remove the glue sticking to this Zigang card, as for the kind of meaning faintly mentioned on his granddaughter's phone, he still disdained it, not to mention, do you really think Zhong Haoqing is just a decoration?
Because Zhong Haoqing had already talked about Li Yi before, plus two guqins and six Song version guqin scores were placed there, so although the harvest was not bad this time, a few old people just sighed that it was really unusual, and they didn't do anything.
But Wang Meng and Mu Yuyu are different, a piece of Zigang jade card, a piece of Xuande blue and white made the two of them jealous to death, but they didn't expect that those two were just an appetizer, and the big head was still behind, how could they be embarrassed?
Seeing that Wang Meng and Mu Yuyu were like frosted eggplants, Mu Wanyang shook his head slightly, originally he wanted to show off to a few old friends that his granddaughter was a genius, but he didn't expect that he would be given a blow to the head before it started.
"Okay, everyone's harvest is good this time, it's worth commendating, let's put everything away. Li Yi, Yu Yu, you all come and see this painting. β
Wang Bochun greeted a few people and led them to the painting that they had just admired.
This is a painting of Xu Beihong's "Galloping Horse", which is not large, almost 30 centimeters long and less than 20 centimeters wide.
However, although the size is small, the galloping horse on the picture is soaring into the air, and the galloping horse with its head held high looks very powerful. With only a few brushstrokes, the author not only draws the strong and powerful body of the horse, but also draws the temperament and vitality of the horse, which makes people feel high-spirited and enthusiastic at a glance!
"Master, this should be the true handiwork of Xu Lao, you ......"
He Chong didn't quite understand what Master wanted him to see.
Wang Bochun nodded, and took out a mirror heart of about the same size from the painting folder on the side.
"Then look at this again."
"Huh?"
A few people leaned over to take a look, and immediately frowned, although Xu Beihong has painted countless horses in his life, but it is rare to see such a close size and appearance, is this one an imitation?
Several people knew that Wang Bochun's arrangement must have other intentions, so they couldn't help but look more carefully. After a while, Li Yi discovered something abnormal, these two paintings are not a question of truth and falsehood, nor is it a question of who imitates whom, but they are exactly the same!
That's right, these two paintings are almost useless, they are exactly the same, whether it is a flying ponytail or a hunting mane, they are exactly the same!
"These two paintings, as if they are exactly the same, you see, here, and here......"
He Chong soon noticed the difference, pointed to a few places in a row, and then stared at the picture and pondered.
Mu Yuyu and Wang Meng's calligraphy and painting are not strong points, so it wasn't until He Chong pointed out that they saw the abnormality of these two paintings, and couldn't help but look at each other, what does this mean?
"Master, you mean to say that this could be ...... Unveiling? β
He Chong studied both paintings successively, but because the paintings were framed, he didn't see anything.
Wang Bochun didn't speak, but Liu Jiuchuan smiled bitterly,
"I bought this one a few months ago, and it was quite cheap at the time, so I thought it might be a bit fake, so I wanted to bring it over and ask your master and Lao Zhong to help me see it. Unexpectedly, Lao Qin looked at it and said that Xi Wuyu had just received a similar one, and after taking it, he compared it, oh, that's it......"
"It's supposed to be a painting, but I don't know how many are revealed. Lao Liu, the ink in your painting should be a little lighter, it shouldn't be the first one, but Wuyu's one doesn't look like the first one...... It would be nice to find someone who sells paintings. β
Zhong Haoqing frowned and explained a few words to them, these two paintings, they have been studying them for a long time, and they have come to the conclusion that these two paintings should not be the first, that is to say, this painting has been unveiled at least twice!
"Heyβis there really anyone so powerful now?"
He Chong gasped, he had long known that there was such a thing as revealing paintings, but not to mention him, even his master Wang Bochun had never encountered it!
"I saw it once 20 years ago, and what was uncovered at that time was a "Little Chicken Picture" by Qi Baishi and Qi Lao, which was smaller than this one, and was discovered when Lao Hu reframed it. Because the uncovered painting is very thin, they will glue another layer of rice paper behind the original painting, and of course we can't see it when it is framed, but once it is reframed, most of the framers will be able to find this problem. β
Zhong Haoqing is right, because that's how Ren Xiaoyao's painting was handled. However, Li Yi shook his head slightly, this time the matter didn't seem to be so simple, because he had just carefully seen through it, and there was no more glued rice paper behind these two paintings!
Moreover, although these two paintings are also powerful through the back of the paper, they give him a feeling that is completely different from Gong Xian's two, that is to say, this is not painted on one sheet on the other!
"Wait a little longer, Lao Yao should be almost there, let him try it."
Qin Chuan said that Lao Yao was a framer, and they had confirmed that this "Running Horse" should have been uncovered, so they called him to come and have a look, but Lao Yao still had a job in his hand at that time, but he should be almost busy at this time.
Li Yi opened his mouth, he really wanted to say that if there was not much rice paper glued to the back of the painting, it was likely that he would not be able to remove the painting when he unveiled the heart of the painting later, and it was likely that the painting would be directly discarded!
However, after glancing at the solemn faces of several people, he still rationally chose to shut up, this kind of thing can't be explained at all!
After waiting for a while, Qin Chuan saw that the sky was getting dark, and couldn't help but call Lao Yao again, and said with a smile after hanging up:
"Let's eat first, this guy won't be able to come over until more than 8 o'clock, let's not worry about this matter, just take advantage of this time to listen to how the little ones picked up the leaks."
He Chong, who ate a meal, was dancing with his eyebrows, Wang Meng and Mu Yuyu were very depressed, who let Li Yi pick up this big leak?
"Hmph, it's vivid, I don't know it, I think he picked it up!"
Wang Meng muttered in a low voice, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked Li Yi:
"By the way, Li Yi, I haven't had time to ask you, why didn't you buy that elephant ear bottle in the end?"
"Oh, it's too expensive. I will buy 55 million, but the boss bit 60 million to death, and after talking for a long time, he let 200,000 yuan die. β
"60 million? Didn't you say that it was only more than 20 million? β
Wang Meng was taken aback, and several old guys at the same table also pricked up their ears, there are still such expensive things in the market? If it's a real guy, why don't you take it for auction?
As soon as Li Yi talked about the matter, Zhong Haoqing, Liu Jiuchuan and Mu Wanyang were all interested, but Zhong Haoqing was thinking about collecting lots, while Liu Jiuchuan and Mu Wanyang wanted to see porcelain, after all, if Li Yi hadn't looked away, there were not many opportunities to get his hands on such precious porcelain.
The three of them made an appointment to go together tomorrow morning to have a look, and there was no room for Li Yi to interject in the middle, which couldn't help but make him depressed, in case, which old guy took a fancy to buy it, wouldn't he lose a lot of money?
People are like this sometimes, from this point of view, there is not much difference between Li Yi and Wang Meng.
After eating, just cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Lao Yao came, he first looked at the two paintings, and after asking how many people understood the intentions of several people, he took out the guy and prepared to start working.
Because he just wanted to determine whether these two paintings had been revealed, Lao Yao's method was the same as Li Yi's time at Ren Xiaoyao, and he also planned to uncover the paintings first. It's just that a mysterious solution was added to the warm water prepared by Lao Yao, but this is a secret that people don't pass on, and Li Yi doesn't want to ask much.
After a while, the first painting was picked open a thin slit, Lao Yao leaned up and observed it carefully for a long time, shook his head, and suddenly said amazingly,
"This painting has no traces of being uncovered!" (To be continued.) )
