Chengzi Town, in a small two-story building

I sipped tea and sat on a square stool, the room is only about seven or eight square meters, in addition to the bed and wardrobe, there is only a Ben Si computer that is being started, with a music "four old 0... Chan's desktop popped out before my eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe owner of this family is surnamed Hu, I am in Uncle Hu's son's room, when I left from Lao Tie's house, and asked Sister Hong's mother if there is a place near the Internet, Sister Hong's mother took me here, through the observation just downstairs, Sister Hong's mother and Lao Hu's relationship is very good, at least better than with Lao Tie's family.

Connecting to the Internet and clicking on the surname, I quickly searched for information about guqin identification.

I flipped through more than two dozen pictures, browsed seven or eight, and finally, I had a better understanding of the guqin.

Immediately, I took out my phone, hesitated to find a few numbers, and hesitated for a while. I still dialed Brother Du of the auction company, I have sold things with their company a few times, the cooperation is very pleasant, and the private friendship is also good, so when Yan Wanru ignored me, asking Brother Hao seemed to be the only choice, "Hey, Brother Hao, it's me, Gu Jing, well, are you busy?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm watching the news after dinner, hehe, is there something you want to shoot?"

"Well, not yet, by the way, I want to ask something, can you put me in touch with an expert who knows how to collect musical instruments? It is best to specialize in guqin. I just saw a piano, I don't know if it's true, and I don't know if it's broken, so I want to find someone to consult, you see? ”

"Guqin? We don't have a special deal in this at the auction house, but I know a little bit about it. ”

"Yo, that's a good feeling, tell me quickly, where is the point of identification?"

Wait a minute. "There's the sound of shoes moving on the other end. After a while, there was the sound of the paper brush flipping, "That's the case, the first thing to identify the guqin is to look at the appearance, there are too many things that can be seen from the appearance, such as the length, width, and height of the body, which are all measured by boundaries, and such as the Tang Qin, its broken lines, streamline" This call is really right. Under Brother Hao's eloquent talk. I found out that there were some things he said that were not recorded on the Internet.

Five minutes later, Brother Du on the other end of the phone said, "Well, that's probably it, do you see that your piano agrees with the conditions?" ”

"I want to think about it," I said, my eyelids drooping, and I fell into a memory.

Through the identification methods obtained from the Internet and Brother Hao, in addition to the size measurement I have used, there are also such a few key points, Tang Qin, especially the Tang Dynasty Qin, the shape is fat and round, and most of the existing Tang Qin often has two small paulownia wood pasted on the panel of Longchi and Fengnuma as a false Nayin. The broken lines of Tang Qin are mostly broken in the belly of the snake, and there are also ice lines and flowing water breaks. I asked Brother Hao about the definitions of ice pattern break and flowing water break. According to the texture of the piano surface that An Cai saw, I was surprised to find that the guqin of the old Tie family actually met the conditions of the Tang Qin!

Khan, could it be that the little thing I deduced was true?

That guqin was really broken by the son of the old Tie family in the period between now and half a year later?

I excitedly said into my phone: "Brother Hao, that qin is almost the same as what you said, can it be concluded that it is Tang Qin?" ”

"Really?" The voice paused, "But you are also playing antiques, you should know how sophisticated the current counterfeiting technology is, so I don't dare to judge if I don't see the real thing, uh, I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, even if I see the real thing, I'm afraid I can't do anything, I know a little bit about the guqin, but I only understand the theoretical knowledge and have no practical experience, and I believe that there are few people in the world who have practical experience." ”

I blinked, "Why?" ”

Brother Hao smiled dumbly and said: "The guqin you described is the Tang Qin, it is a thing from a thousand years ago, the thousand-year-old guqin that has been handed down in the world can be counted in a slap, each piece is a national first-class cultural relic, and each piece is priceless, you can talk about it, such a valuable and historically significant thing." Even if ordinary people can look at it from a distance, it is impossible for them to touch it easily, and if they don't get their hands on it, how can they have any practical experience? If the appearance of the guqin you say is so close to that of the Tang Qin, then it is estimated that you have to integrate a group of experts to discuss and study before you can come to the final conclusion. ”

I understand what Brother Hao meant, the appearance is right. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is a thousand-year-old guqin.

I have only come to the conclusion that the guqin is a Tang qin style. Millennial Tang Qin. Ming and Qing Dynasty antique Tang Qin, modern antique Tang Qin, these three kinds of guqin all have a pair of Tang Qin skin, all may be the final identification results of the old Tiejia guqin, but the gap is so big, it is simply a day and a place.

I smiled bitterly and said, "If you say that, I'm not sure about it now, well, do you think that piano is right?" ”

"I think it's imitation, and it's the most likely to be a modern imitation, well, I'll help you analyze it, let's put aside the appearance of the guqin, according to what you just described, this guqin is so well preserved, not only bumps, but even scratches are rare, hehe. If this is really a thousand-year-old guqin, wouldn't it be more valuable than the only remaining immortal Tang qin of Chunlei and Jiuxiao Huanpei? ”

I sweated: "It's not impossible that a mountain is still a mountain high." ”

"And you also said that the timbre of the piano is excellent, and it will be around the beam for three days or something, brother, if you are excluded this is a self-psychological suggestion that it is not "fruitful." To say that Zhang's thousand-year-old guqin can still maintain a good sound... I was the first to disbelieve those experts, so I didn't think it was right. After a pause for a few seconds, Brother Hao on the other end laughed and said: "If this qin is right, then a well-preserved thousand-year-old guqin with excellent timbre will not cause a sensation in the entire collection world?" Probabilistically speaking, it is also unrealistic. ”

But I touched my nose: "I always feel that this piano is not ordinary, from the first time I saw it, the first time I heard it, I felt that it was not ordinary." Well, I can't describe this feeling, I just remember that Mr. Yan once told me that it is very important to identify a collection, and I think I seem to have this feeling now. "That guqin came to my mind. I reminisced about its curvature, its timbre, and whispered, "I think it's true, um." ”

"Hehe, in fact, there is no point in arguing about this, I suggest you ask the price of the piano first, if the other party asks for hundreds of thousands, it doesn't matter if you gamble, I know brother, you are not short of money, hundreds of thousands are not in your eyes, but if the other party opens a few millions, you have to think clearly, this is not a small money."

"I understand, okay, then I'll ask for the price, thank you."

"Haha, what are we polite about, by the way, I forgot to remind you that although the qin is unlikely to be a thousand years old, if it is really identified as genuine" will inevitably be classified as a first-class cultural relic, which can be inferred from several other Tang Qin, but you also know that first-class cultural relics are prohibited from trading. Unless it is a family heirloom, and it can be proved that this piano is a thing left by your ancestors, there will be some "trouble, in short, you have more ideas, my opinion is, try not to get the relevant cultural relics department for identification, and don't let too many people know." ”

"Okay, I'll pay attention, thanks for the reminder." What Brother Hao said is a problem, but private transactions are not allowed, and it is a big deal that I will sell to the state in the future.

"Go ahead, my lover told me to wash the dishes, alas, life is miserable."

"That's okay, I'll be in touch another day.

"Well, good luck."

Hanging up the phone, I exhaled deeply into the ceiling, for some reason, Brother Hao's words did not discourage me from buying it, on the contrary. My desire to buy a piano became more and more determined. There are some things I didn't tell Brother Hao, I don't really believe in my own feelings, but I have no reason to doubt the memories of my past life. I have also figured it out now, the possibility of Lao Tie's son breaking the piano is really very high, if this is the case, since the experts of later generations have formed an appraisal team to investigate the piano, it must be sixty or seventy percent likely to be genuine, otherwise. How could an expert go to such great length?

You know, it's easy to tell if something is fake. A detail is enough, but it is not so easy to determine whether something is true, and it has to be verified through layers of verification, so the expert identification team will be established!

Well, the more I think about it, the more so.

I slowly clenched my fists, no matter what, this guqin must be bought!

Turning off the computer, I went downstairs to find Sister Hong's mother who was chatting with the family. After thanking everyone, I got into the car alone and returned to Lao Tie's house.

It was getting dark, and the courtyard of Lao Tie's house was lit up.

Knock knock, I raised my hand and knocked on the door, trying to make a calm expression.

Squeak, the door was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door for me was a middle-aged woman, looking at her age, a little younger than Sister Hong's mother, combing her hemp braids, and her eyes had a shrewd taste, and she was looking at me without saying a word. I just knew. The "stupid daughter-in-law of the old Tie family" that Sister Hong and her mother talked about turned out to be not stupid at all. It's just a casual name.

I said, "Hello, you are Uncle Tie's lover, right?" I'm Gu Jing, and I've been here just now. ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law smiled: "I know you, I heard Lao Tie say on the Internet, come in." ”

In the room, Lao Tie was smoking a cigarette. See me come in. smiled and said hello, "Coming?" After that, I didn't mention the guqin again, but chatted casually about other things, such as what I do with Beijing, how I met Fei Xiaohong, and so on. Come to think of it, he and his daughter-in-law should have communicated and reached some kind of agreement, otherwise they would not be so "stable"

After talking for a while, I gradually cut to the chase: "What do you two think of what I said?" ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law brought me a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and said: "This piano is an heirloom that has been passed down by our ancestors for several generations, and it is very significant, and I also like the tone of this piano very much. On the surface, it seems to be a refusal, but there is no saying that it will not be sold.

I understood what she meant, "You can make a price, as long as it's not too high." ”

The old iron daughter-in-law blinked her eyes and asked rhetorically, "What do you think of this piano?" I said, "To tell you the truth, my level is very limited, I really can't see anything, but judging from the feeling, I think this piano is good, at least I like it myself." After a pause, I continued: "I know that your family has a lot of affection for this piano and loves it very much, but what Sister Hong's mother said on the net I think makes sense. No matter how good things are, they can't compare to real money in your hands, you say? ”

Lao Tiedao: "This is the truth. ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law glared at him, and when she saw this, Lao Tie pursed her lips, took the water glass and dropped her eyes on the TV, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, I "worry that my daughter-in-law is the one who can be rich." Gan turned his head to look at her. "You open a price valve, and Zhu also listens?"

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law thought for a while and said: "I discussed with Lao Tie, it was impossible to sell this kind of heirloom, but we have a good relationship with the Xiaohong family, this face has to be given, well, you still bid, if it is suitable, you will take the things." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Lao Tie. Then he looked at me silently, with a look of impatience in his eyes.

I observed their expressions, thinking about the psychological price and bottom line of the two of them. Chengzi Town is not a wealthy township in Longchuan County, and judging from their furniture layout and electrical facilities, the economic situation of the Lao Tie family is also average. Shen said: 200,000, is this price okay? . Two hundred thousand, for Beijing and Shanghai, may not be nothing. Even the down payment for a house is not enough, but for the town. That's a lot of money.

Lao Tie was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth in surprise, but looked at his daughter-in-law, and the words on his lips were taken back.

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law also paused for a second, looked at me, and pretended to be calm: "200,000 will definitely not work, this qin must be at least one or two hundred years old."

I shrugged with a wry smile: "Then how much do you say?" ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law's eyes rolled: "How can you play 500,000."

When Lao Tie heard this, he was immediately startled, turned his head, lit a cigarette with a match, and smoked it in a big gulp, as if his mood was fluctuating.

I had the score, and I was completely relieved, "500,000 is too much, right?" I can only give 300,000. ”

"That's not good, 500,000 is already our bottom line, seriously, if you are not Xiaohong's target. We don't sell it if someone else gives 800,000

I'm dizzy, which eye did you see that I was Sister Hong's object?

I was depressed, and I kept bargaining with her, from 500,000 to 480,000, from 480,000 to 450,000, as usual, I am not afraid to spend money on things that can pick up big leaks, and the difference of 100,000 yuan is nothing, but I understand the seller's mentality, everyone wants to sell things at a good price, if I happily agree to the price of 500,000. Maybe it will backfire and lead to some unnecessary surprises.

In order to reassure Lao Tie and his family, and in order to make them feel that the things are worth selling, I took the trouble to repay the price.

After ten minutes, I nodded helplessly: "Okay." I'm afraid of you, okay, 430,000 is 430,000. "This price is much higher than I expected, alas, I hope this guqin is genuine, if it is a modern imitation, I will lose more than 400,000 yuan.

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Okay, the little brother is happy at first glance, then I'll go get the piano, this money?" ”

I didn't have that much cash with me, so I took out my checkbook and said, "Shall I write you a check?" ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law looked at the book suspiciously: "Check?."

I said, "Well, the cash check, I'll get it tomorrow when the bank opens."

"No, we're going to ask for cash." Lao Tie's daughter-in-law said: "I don't mean anything else, the main trick is that our family has confiscated the check." It won't work. ”

I hesitated and took the check back: "Okay." Then tomorrow you can go to the bank with me to transfer money, it's eight o'clock now, and it's too late to make an appointment."

That night, I stayed with a guest house in Chengzi Town.

When I got up early the next day, I drove to the bank with Lao Tie's family, completed the counter transfer procedures, and after confirming the receipt of 430,000 yuan, Lao Tie's daughter-in-law took me home with a smile on her face and handed me a long soft box to open the box. When I lifted the yellow silk cloth, I saw that it was the guqin. After saying goodbye to them, and going back to say goodbye to Sister Hong's mother, I drove out of the town in a BMW and headed for Ruili.

On the way, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If this piano really has a history of thousands of years, with its integrity and timbre, it is definitely a first-class cultural relic at the national treasure level.

It can even be said that among the surviving Tang Dynasty guqins in the world today, none of them is better than it!

How much is it worth?

Priceless treasure for sure!!

However, when I think of all the troubles of the first-class cultural relics, I think about a question, how to deal with this qin?

If you sell, there are only two options, one is the black market, one is Chengzi Town, and one is in a small two-story building

I sipped tea and sat on a square stool, the room is only about seven or eight square meters, in addition to the bed and wardrobe, there is only a Ben Si computer that is being started, with a music "four old 0... Chan's desktop popped out before my eyes. The owner of this family is surnamed Hu, I am in Uncle Hu's son's room, when I left from Lao Tie's house, and asked Sister Hong's mother if there is a place nearby that can access the Internet, Sister Hong's mother took me here, through the observation just downstairs, Sister Hong's mother and Lao Hu's relationship is very good, at least better than with Lao Tie's family.

Connecting to the Internet and clicking on the surname, I quickly searched for information about guqin identification.

I flipped through more than two dozen pictures, browsed seven or eight, and finally, I had a better understanding of the guqin.

Immediately, I took out my phone, hesitated to find a few numbers, and hesitated for a while. I still dialed Brother Du of the auction company, I have sold things with their company a few times, the cooperation is very pleasant, and the private friendship is also good, so when Yan Wanru ignored me, asking Brother Hao seemed to be the only choice, "Hey, Brother Hao, it's me, Gu Jing, well, are you busy?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm watching the news after dinner, hehe, is there something you want to shoot?"

"Well, not yet, by the way, I want to ask something, can you put me in touch with an expert who knows how to collect musical instruments? It is best to specialize in guqin. I just saw a piano, I don't know if it's true, and I don't know if it's broken, so I want to find someone to consult, you see? ”

"Guqin? We don't have a special deal in this at the auction house, but I know a little bit about it. ”

"Yo, that's a good feeling, tell me quickly, where is the point of identification?"

Wait a minute. "There's the sound of shoes moving on the other end.

The broken lines of Tang Qin are mostly broken in the belly of the snake, and there are also ice lines and flowing water breaks. I asked Brother Hao about the definitions of ice pattern break and flowing water break. According to the texture of the piano surface that An Cai saw, I was surprised to find that the guqin of the old Tie family actually met the conditions of the Tang Qin!

Khan, could it be that the little thing I deduced was true?

If this is really a thousand-year-old guqin, wouldn't it be more valuable than the only remaining immortal Tang qin of Chunlei and Jiuxiao Huanpei? ”

I sweated: "It's not impossible that a mountain is still a mountain high." ”

I had the score, and I was completely relieved, "500,000 is too much, right?" I can only give 300,000. ”

"That's not good, 500,000 is already our bottom line, seriously, if you are not Xiaohong's target. We don't sell it if someone else gives 800,000

I'm dizzy, which eye did you see that I was Sister Hong's object?

I was depressed, and I kept bargaining with her, from 500,000 to 480,000, from 480,000 to 450,000, as usual, I am not afraid to spend money on things that can pick up big leaks, and the difference of 100,000 yuan is nothing, but I understand the seller's mentality, everyone wants to sell things at a good price, if I happily agree to the price of 500,000. Maybe it will backfire and lead to some unnecessary surprises.

In order to reassure Lao Tie and his family, and in order to make them feel that the things are worth selling, I took the trouble to repay the price.

After ten minutes, I nodded helplessly: "Okay." I'm afraid of you, okay, 430,000 is 430,000. "This price is much higher than I expected, alas, I hope this guqin is genuine, if it is a modern imitation, I will lose more than 400,000 yuan.

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Okay, the little brother is happy at first glance, then I'll go get the piano, this money?" ”

I didn't have that much cash with me, so I took out my checkbook and said, "Shall I write you a check?" ”

Lao Tie's daughter-in-law looked at the book suspiciously: "Check?."

I said, "Well, the cash check, I'll get it tomorrow when the bank opens."

"No, we're going to ask for cash." Lao Tie's daughter-in-law said: "I don't mean anything else, the main trick is that our family has confiscated the check." It won't work. ”

I hesitated and took the check back: "Okay." Then tomorrow you can go to the bank with me to transfer money, it's eight o'clock now, and it's too late to make an appointment."

That night, I stayed with a guest house in Chengzi Town.

When I got up early the next day, I drove to the bank with Lao Tie's family, completed the counter transfer procedures, and after confirming the receipt of 430,000 yuan, Lao Tie's daughter-in-law took me home with a smile on her face and handed me a long soft box to open the box. When I lifted the yellow silk cloth, I saw that it was the guqin. After saying goodbye to them, and going back to say goodbye to Sister Hong's mother, I drove out of the town in a BMW and headed for Ruili.

On the way, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If this piano really has a history of thousands of years, with its integrity and timbre, it is definitely a first-class cultural relic at the national treasure level.

It can even be said that among the surviving Tang Dynasty guqins in the world today, none of them is better than it!

How much is it worth?

Priceless treasure for sure!!

However, when I think of all the troubles of the first-class cultural relics, I think about a question, how to deal with this qin?

If you sell it, there are only two options, one is the black market, the other is the country, I will definitely not go to the black market, as for selling to the country, it seems that the price is too far from the auction, a bit not cost-effective!

After thinking about it, I had an idea in my heart.

Didn't Yan Wanru say that the biggest regret in this life was that she didn't collect a Song Dynasty guqin? And the value of the Tang Qin is obviously far better than the Song Dynasty guqin, if I can be sure that this qin is a thing from the Tang Dynasty, then I will simply give it to Sister Yan! She's 100% going to love it!

Yes, that's it!

Anyway, my purpose of making money is to pursue them. Then there is obviously no need to sell this hard-to-find guqin!

By the way, the Tang Dynasty guqin that has been handed down today all has its own name, Chunlei, Bingqing, Jiaowei, and the Great Sage's Legacy, should I also give it one?

What's it called?

Thinking of the chill in the sound of the piano, my eyes moved,,

Hades!

Let's call it Guqin Hades!!
