Chapter 1: Antique Shop Taobao
"I hope I can pick up a small leak today, otherwise I won't be able to survive this day!" A handsome young man walked into an antique shop called "Gu Yuexuan" in a nervous mood.
This person's name is Dong Tianyue, a student of the Fine Arts Department of Wenhua University, and he is quite sunny and handsome. On sunny Saturdays, he always likes to come to the antique city to treasure treasures.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Dong, some people haven't come?" A half-aged shopkeeper stood up from the wicker chair and greeted her with a smile.
Dong Tianyue always comes to this antique shop several times a month, and everyone is familiar with it. I don't know much about Dong Tianyue's background, but I only know that he is a college student and loves antique collection, and the rest is not very clear.
"It rained last week and I didn't come. Boss, what's the latest thing? Dong Tianyue walked around the store leisurely, his eyes sweeping towards the Duobaoge on both sides.
The proprietress took out a paper cup with the surname of one time, poured a cup of hot tea for Dong Tianyue and handed it over: "It's hard to collect things now." My husband received a porcelain bowl from the Ming Dynasty a few days ago, and the quality is not very good, do you want to get started? ”
The husband of the proprietress is out to receive the goods, and she sells the goods in the store, mainly in the study room calligraphy and painting. Dong Tianyue bought several inkstones from her, the price was fair, and the people were kind, and they became friends after a long time. Chatting with her, Dong Tianyue also learned some experience, and he can also know the latest market in many antique markets.
"Okay!" Dong Tianyue took the teacup and said with a smile.
The proprietress took out a large plain white porcelain bowl from the Duobao grid on the west side and carefully placed it on the glass counter.
"The Ming Dynasty kiln was fired, and the utensils were quite complete, what price?" Dong Tianyue picked up the bowl and looked at it, this is a white porcelain bowl with a diameter of 14 cm and a height of 7 cm.
"Give 2,000 if you want." The proprietress gave Dong Tianyue a thumbs up and smiled, admiring his eyesight a little.
Dong Tianyue nodded, thinking that the proprietress did not shout a high price. Although this white porcelain bowl was fired in a Ming Dynasty kiln, the white glaze is shiny, and 2000 is not expensive. It's just that Dong Tianyue only brought 800 yuan today, and he still asked his classmates to borrow it.
Originally, Dong Tianyue's monthly pocket money was 2,000. On the first of every month, his family will put 2,000 yuan on his account, which is supposed to be enough, but he was unlucky the day before yesterday, and lost his mobile phone when he ate in the cafeteria, and it cost 1700 to reconfigure a Meizu mobile phone.
Dong Tianyue was born in a special family, although he is not as good as those top wealthy families, but he is not comparable to ordinary families.
The so-called family lineage used to refer to the noble family and the family that had been an official for generations, and later referred to the family of the noble family for generations. Later, some families that have been passed down from generation to generation with a certain profession are also called families. For example, the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen in the Republic of China period in the front, and the later ones such as the martial arts family, the family of traditional Chinese medicine, the family of collectors, the family of carving, the family of performing arts, the family of tomb robbers, and so on.
Since he is a child of a family, it stands to reason that Dong Tianyue's pocket money must have 18,000 a month, right? But the old man of their family only gave Dong Tianyue 2,000 yuan of pocket money every month. Not only Dong Tianyue is like this, but even his cousin is like this. It can be said that the treatment of the men of the Dong family when they were studying is like this, while the women are different, and they have to have one or two hundred thousand yuan of pocket money in January. It is in response to the saying of the world: "Boys are poor, girls are rich".
The men of the Dong family are more miserable, not only have less pocket money, but also have to accept the assessment of the old man at the end of each year. In Dong Tianyue's generation, only Dong Tianyue and his cousin are left. The two of them have to study while preparing for the year-end assessment. The old man's assessment is different every year. This year, Dong Tianyue and his cousin need to hand over a few antiques to the family at the end of the year. When the time comes, the whole family will taste together and compare who has handed in the total value of the antiques. There will be a reward then.
Dong Tianyue ran the antique shop so diligently to prepare for the year-end assessment.
"Why don't you exchange 800 yuan and a Qingtian seal with her?" Dong Tianyue touched a seal in his pocket and wondered whether to buy the bowl.
In the past, when there was not enough money, Dong Tianyue always liked to take a seal and mortgage part of the money. His seal is more delicately carved, so the proprietress generally does not refuse.
"Huh?"
After hesitating, Dong Tianyue's gaze swept over the glass counter, and he inadvertently saw a jasper-like seal. Seeing this seal, Dong Tianyue thought it was jasper at first sight.
"The chapter, Jasper's?" Dong Tianyue asked, pointing to the seal on the counter.
"Oh! Stone's. The proprietress replied with a smile.
Dong Tianyue picked up this seal and looked at it, no, it was stone, but this feeling was the same as jasper, it was really rare. So he casually asked the shopkeeper, "What kind of stone is this?" ”
"I don't know, miscellaneous stones, the stones are not good, they are not transparent, they need hibiscus stones, frozen stones, those are good, this is not good." The proprietress said with a bit of Wenzhou accent.
Before Dong Tianyue could speak, she picked up a lion button seal and said: "This is good, hibiscus stone, there is a piece of red on the head, this is good luck, the material is good, and it is still a famous craft, no worse than your carving." ”
Dong Tianyue looked at it, it was indeed beautiful, and it was Lao Zhang, but because he knew more about the price of the store, Dong Tianyue thought that he couldn't afford this, so he didn't even ask the price.
For regular customers, it is uncertain whether the antique dealer advises to buy something good or not, but the one that is advised not to buy is often really bad. Thinking of this, Dong Tianyue put down the two seals and continued to chat with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper talks a lot, from how difficult it is for her husband to receive the goods, how ordinary people watch the TV treasure appreciation show and ask for the price, it is nothing more than crying poor or something, so that Dong Tianyue will not be too ruthless next time.
On the way back, Dong Tianyue pondered, is this seal good or bad? Look at the head, a big piece, look at the shape, it is also a complete lying cow, the printed side is still like that, but I forgot who the payment is, I can't help but have some regrets, I want to go and see it again, come back to check.
In the afternoon, Dong Tianyue went to the flower and bird market to buy goldfish food, remembered this matter, came to Gu Yuexuan again, and saw that this seal was still there, so he picked it up and looked at the side money.
The proprietress of the shopkeeper was a little happy, and when she came up, she said, "If you like it, take it, it's very cheap." As he spoke, he offered a low price.
Dong Tianyue thought to himself, why did I sell it to me before I opened my mouth? Could it be that you are tired? No, I have to go back and check it, and then I excuse myself.
After returning to school, Dong Tianyue dialed his grandfather's phone.
"Grandpa, I'll ask you someone." Dong Tianyue asked in awe.
"Say!" The old man said lightly.
"There's a seal with Koike's money engraved on it, who is Koike?" Dong Tianyue asked.
"What? Can you see clearly, is it really Koike? The old man asked with a little surprise.
"I've been learning seal carving from you since I was a child, how can I look away, it's Xiaochi!" Dong Tianyue replied in the affirmative.
"It's supposed to be a seal, right? Did you buy something? The old man asked anxiously.
"Not yet, and I'm not sure what it's made of." Dong Tianyue replied truthfully, so he briefly described the seal he saw today.
"Oh, that's not true. But I can tell you who Xiao Chi is, Xiao Chi is Dong Xun! He was a famous seal carver and medical historian in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Dong Xun is a spring, a small pond, and a nest. A native of Shanyin, Zhejiang. As for whether that thing is right or not, it's up to your eyesight. But I have to warn you that, according to what you described, the material may be mugwort green. You go back and double the "Yin Shi Lu" and "Yin Yan Appreciation" I sent you, and there are some records and pictures about Shoushan Shi Ai Ye Green. This kid doesn't read books carefully! ”
After speaking, the old man hung up the phone.
"I didn't expect that this person with the name 'Xiaochi' was actually Dong Xun, a famous seal carver in the middle of the Qing Dynasty?" Dong Tianyue hated himself a little bitterly, and he didn't learn from his grandfather well.
I didn't expect that the green jade-like stone is likely to be the legendary artemisia leaf green with a higher price than Tian Huang? Thinking of this, Dong Tianyue regretted it a little, thinking to himself, it is so cheap, even if it is not enough to buy a decent stone!
In the Shoushan stone, the ancients highly respected the artemisia leaf green, and even respected it as the head of the Shoushan stone in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, the Huangchao mine was extinct, so it was difficult to see the rumored artemisia chlorophyll. Now there is still Huangshi in Tian, and the artemisia leaf green mine has been extinct, so it is a pity to be squeezed out and succumbed to the second Shoushan stone.
Therefore, Dong Tianyue is more focused on Tian Huang, and he doesn't know much about Ai Yelu.
After watching the "Seal Stone Record" and "Seal Yan Appreciation" for a night, early the next morning, Dong Tianyue aimed at the seal, asked his classmates to borrow some money, and went straight to Gu Yuexuan.
Along the way, Dong Tianyue was in a nervous mood, really worried that it had been bought by others. In case that seal is really mugwort leaf green, it is a pity to miss it like this!
Fortunately, it was still there, with several broken seals in a small box, and a box next to it contained a few more delicate seals.
When the shopkeeper's eldest sister saw Dong Tianyue coming again, she greeted him warmly and asked him to help take a look at an inkstone that her husband had just bought. Dong Tianyue pretended to look at the inkstone, but his eyes secretly looked at the seal in the cabinet from time to time. He was afraid that someone would come to buy it, but he didn't act too urgent, so he had to chat with the proprietress for a few minutes, and then casually asked, "That green stone seal hasn't been sold yet?" ”
The proprietress smiled and said: "No one wants it, it's not good-looking, but it's quite big, you can take it, with your craftsmanship, it's good to carve a chapter after grinding!" ”
"Hehe, or that price?" Dong Tianyue started again, and the hanging heart finally settled, and he picked it up with a smile and continued to look at it. He didn't plan to let it go again.
"If you get another 100, it'll be 900!" The proprietress pretended to be in pain and said, "I won't tell you, my husband will earn you 400 if he receives 500." ”
Dong Tianyue didn't rush to agree, but said with an unfathomable smile: "Don't worry, I'll feel its warmth carefully." ”
He held the jasper seal tightly in the palm of his right hand, the palm of his hand conveyed warmth and coolness, the thoughts in his heart condensed, and he felt its material carefully, and said in his heart: I hope that I can successfully open the perspective eye through the sense of touch!
It has been almost a year since Dong Tianyue's clairvoyance awakened. Legend has it that there have been many strange people in Chinese history, such as Liu Bang and Liu Bei's arms are longer than their knees, Bian Que has perspective eyes, Xiang Yu has two pupils in one eye, Zhu Yuanzhang's face is like a dragon's face, Sun Quan's eyes are blue, and so on.
There are two people who have clairvoyant eyes, Bian Que and Xiang Yu! The first girl in the world to openly have a clairvoyant eye was from Russia named Natasha Giomkina, followed by Heizer in California in 2009.
Although Dong Tianyue has perspective eyes, he is a half-product. His perspective is conditional. At present, he has found that there are two conditions that stimulate his visual clairvoyance, one is smell and the other is touch. The sense of smell is like high-grade agarwood, its aroma can stimulate the optic nerve and stimulate the opening of the clairway eye. Touch is touch, once Dong Tianyue got his hands on a famous Song painting, and the palm of his hand had the feeling of electric shock, which immediately stimulated the opening of the perspective eye.
I don't know if this seal can stimulate Dong Tianyue's perspective eyes to open?
Dong Tianyue first closed his eyes, concentrated his thoughts, and let his spirit, heart, palms, and eyes slowly merge, which he called "the first line of the spiritual rhino".
Time passed minute by minute, and the proprietress didn't dare to disturb, thinking that Dong Tianyue was communicating with the seal in a "heart" exchange, and she couldn't be disturbed.
Dong Tianyue felt that his spiritual power had suddenly been hollowed out, and he couldn't help but open his eyes automatically, the green seal gradually became foggy and blurred, its "coat" was peeled off one by one, and the "meat" inside was as green as a pool of green water, and the stone texture meridians were as clear and recognizable as the green tendons on a baby's head.
"Perspective worked!" Dong Tianyue sighed. Because perspective is extremely energy-consuming, the sequelae of perspective make Dong Tianyue headache and tired. His face was pale, the soles of his feet were weak, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Xiao Dong, what's wrong with you?" The proprietress was taken aback and hurried over to help.
"Oh, it's okay, I suddenly feel a little dizzy and my eyes are glazed, and I'll be fine when I rest." Dong Tianyue replied with a weakened look. The proprietress nervously put Dong Tianyue on a chair and sat down: "It's okay, do you want to send you to the hospital?" ”
"It's okay, just take a sip of tea and take a break." Dong Tianyue took a sip of tea and felt that his headache was lighter.
The proprietress was a little frightened, this Xiao Dong was a little like a sign of sudden death just now, if he died in his own store, then I couldn't get abandoned.
It was the first time for Dong Tianyue to use the perspective eye in Gu Yuexuan, and the proprietress was very worried.
After a while, the proprietress saw that Dong Tianyue's face was slowly rosy, and the palm of her hand was still tightly holding the green seal, so she asked carefully, "Are you better?" ”
"Well, it's much better." Dong Tianyue nodded lightly.
"Oh, and do you want this seal?" The hostess asked.;
