Chapter 112: Mystery
Looking at these three somewhat strange paintings, Li Mobai carefully recalled various allusions related to the place, and remembered that the old man at home once said that during the ten years of turmoil, someone once framed a fake on a famous painting to preserve the authenticity.
Although I have heard from the old man, I have never seen it with my own eyes, "Old man, can you tell me the story of your paintings?" ”
"Hmph, didn't you say just now that you can't look at it, and now I want to know the origin of the painting, why am I telling you, if you want it, it's the price I just said." The old man was up now, and said angrily.
"Hehe, old man, the price you said, I regret that Gu Zhai doesn't have such a big appetite, so please go to another house to have a look!" Li Mobai couldn't help but refuse directly, what kind of thing is this, even if it is a picture-in-picture, who knows whose work it is, even if it is the work of Wu Zhen, one of the four masters of the Yuan Dynasty, what about Dai Jin and Jin Nong? Can you compare to Mr. Doxuan?
When the old man heard this, he said, "Doesn't the little brother think that these paintings are worth 5 million?" ”
When Li Mobai heard it, his feeling was that I looked at those paintings more and was discovered by this old man? No, why did he refer to these paintings? Could it be that the old man himself knew the value or the details of these paintings, and he came to his shop on purpose?
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's not up to me to decide, but it depends on your old man, but I can decide whether to accept it or not!" Li Mobai felt that this old man was quite unhappy, and he did not rule out deliberately making a picture-in-picture appearance to make a game set to make people take the bait, thinking of this, he remembered Yue Mingchuan's blue and white jar, and it was also an old man who wanted to make a move, so he couldn't help but say, "Your old man not only has calligraphy and painting, but also has a lot of porcelain, such as Yuan Qinghua Sanying and Lu Bu!" ”
The old man's expression moved slightly when he heard this, "I have these calligraphy and paintings in my house, I don't have porcelain, since your family doesn't want it, let's go to another house to see." After speaking, the old man and the people next to him put away these calligraphy and painting works and prepared to go out.
"Wait, old man, your surname, maybe he can meet again, and then I may be able to get other good things from your old man!" Li Mobai looked at the old man when he said the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu again, his brows furrowed, and he was about to leave, and said another tentative word.
"There is nothing else, and the ancestors left these paintings." The old man replied, "I'm a mountain villager, there is no possibility of goodbye, if we see each other again, let's talk about it when the time comes." ”
Seeing that the old man left in a bit of a panic, Li Mobai said in his heart, could it be that this old man set up a game to let Yue Mingchuan enter the game, but how could he show his face on the antique street openly?
After thinking about it, there was really no old man's handle in this matter, and it was a young man who gave Yue Mingchuan eye drops, and it really had nothing to do with this old man, but Li Mobai felt that the old man had a lot to do with that young man, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't frame people with empty mouths and white teeth.
When Li Mobai thought of this, he was wondering if he would sing a double reed with Yue Mingchuan at night. After the old man left, he stuffed a middle-aged man surnamed Cai with a stack of red tickets, and then left the antique street in a car.
"Dad, it seems that Xigu Zhai is really famous now!" Li Mobai took a sip of tea and said to Li Mingcheng.
"Stinky boy, are you praising your dad or hurting your dad and me? I don't even look at those fake things, you're good, if you look at it, people will ask for 5 million. Li Mingcheng couldn't help but quip.
"Hey, Dad, don't underestimate the painting just now, there is really an article in it, either it's a big leak, or it's a big picture." Li Mobai said hehehe, and said a little pretendedly.
"Boy, I've seen it, it's all very common goods, how can it have anything to do with the leakage and the bureau?" Li Mingcheng didn't understand a little, he really understood that those things were fake.
Li Mobai knew that his father didn't see it, so he wouldn't believe it, "'Wu Clothes', you should have heard of it, Dad, right?" ”
Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, "Boy, this is common sense, you still want to rely on me?" "Hehe, that's easy, didn't you find Wu outfit just now?"
"Wu costume? Are you saying that the paintings were framed using the technique of Wu costumes? Li Mingcheng naturally reacted, and he understood why Li Mobai looked at it quite carefully.
"It's not all, three or four, what's the matter, Dad, do you regret it? That's 5 million! Li Mobai looked at his father's eyes, knowing that his father was regretting that he didn't find out just now.
"5 million? That's the old man's angry words, how can it be 5 million. Li Mingcheng said with some regret.
"Dad, but just a Wu costume doesn't mean anything? I think you know the secret, but are you sure that one inside is the real thing? Li Mobai had no choice but to remind his father.
When Li Mingcheng heard this, his heart suddenly sobered up, "Well, you're right, this may really be a big picture." ”
"Dad, the time is almost off, why don't we go to the exchange meeting now and see what is good?" Li Mobai didn't dwell on the question just now, but shifted the topic to the evening exchange meeting.
"Let's go, but I can't believe that thing if you kid says that." Li Mingcheng said a little unconfidently.
"Ha, I'll know after a while, I'm here, Dad, don't worry about your eyes." After speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand and put it on Li Mingcheng's shoulder, the two of them walked out together.
The exchange meeting that Li Mingcheng mentioned is, to put it bluntly, just a thing for insiders and some players to exchange with each other for what they want to do. The things you don't like may happen to be liked by others, so let's get a message together, take what you need, and take some things you don't like by the way.
"Third grandfather, how is the situation, will you meet Li Mobai's kid?" Or yesterday's hotel suite, the old and young were talking together, the old man was the old man who was about to make a calligraphy and painting in Xigu Zhai just now, "That kid is said to rarely go to Xi Gu Zhai, you should have run away in vain!" ”
"Hmph, I'm really going to get to that kid!" The old man said with some anger.
"What, you really saw it, how about it, did he buy your paintings?" The young man asked, somewhat surprised.
"Hmph, do you think that kid is a chick who can shoot so easily?" The old man was obviously not in a very good mood.
"That can only mean that he doesn't have the courage, and that "Three Visits to the Thatched House" is like a fake!" The young man said with some disapproval.
"It's easy to say, you know it's like a fake, that's because you know the details, that kid is cautious." The old man paused, "Forget it, let's not compete for that pavilion master, originally one Shang Shan was already very powerful, and now another Li Mobai is even more powerful." ”
"Third grandfather, why don't you fight, being the pavilion master doesn't just rely on eyesight." The young man was a little unconvinced, "Besides, my eyesight may not be much worse than theirs!" ”
"Since you want to fight, you better hurry up and settle the matter of that jar for me, that kid has already tested in his words just now." The old man thought for a while and said, "When I met that kid this afternoon, it is estimated that the kid is going to the exchange meeting, since the kid is going, the exchange meeting will definitely be more lively, you look at it." ”
When he arrived at the destination, Li Mobai found that it was the teahouse that the old man had brought him to, and when he arrived at the hall on the second floor, he found that there were already many people here, and all kinds of things were placed in front of everyone.
This time the scale is obviously larger, and several private rooms are occupied. As soon as the father and son went upstairs, the familiar people in the circle greeted them, although Li Mingcheng's eyesight was a little worse, but no one dared to ignore Li Mingcheng, after all, there was an old man behind him, not to mention that everyone knew that Li Mingcheng also had a powerful son.
While greeting and looking at the various gadgets that everyone took out, although the value was not very high, Li Mobai was very happy to see it, and quickly got a few gadgets in his hands, including knife coins, ancient jade, bronze and the like.
Antiques are like this, many gadgets are not of high value, but they have witnessed a piece of history, and to feel the passing history through a gadget is the true meaning of playing antiquity.
Li Mingcheng didn't rush to see what he fancied, but he didn't rush to chat with his acquaintances, and let Li Mobai wander around.
"Yo, Uncle Yue, you're here too!" Li Mobai saw Yue Mingchuan and pretended to be surprised and said.
"Mo Bai, I didn't expect you to come too, come here, come over and help Uncle Yue." Yue Mingchuan also said with a surprised expression.
"Uncle Yue, where can you use my eyes for the things you are optimistic about." Li Mobai said modestly, but the people next to him who were familiar with Li Mobai couldn't help laughing.
"Mo Bai, come and see, your Uncle Yue and I have a Yuan Qinghua, you can take a look." Yue Mingchuan said with a smug face, obviously telling everyone that he had missed something.
"It's so beautiful and colorful, well, this picture is actually three heroes fighting Lu Bu, a good thing!" After Li Mobai sat down, he pretended to look at it, and then praised loudly.
At this moment, after a middle-aged man not far away answered the phone, he also stood up and walked over pretending to be interested when he heard that Sanying was fighting Lu Bu's blue and white jar.
"Uncle Yue, good eyesight! Although I always think that blue and white porcelain with character stories should be Ming blue and white, I can't deny the value of blue and white porcelain! Everyone originally expected Li Mobai to continue to evaluate the authenticity of this jar, but they didn't expect Li Mobai's sudden shocking remarks to overturn the judgment recognized by many experts.
Before Li Mobai could continue to release his arguments, the middle-aged man who came over just now said, "Hehe, whether it is Yuan Qinghua or Ming Qinghua, they are all rare and good things, can you let me pass by?" ”
When Li Mobai was talking, he had been paying attention to the movements around him, and the middle-aged man's actions naturally attracted Li Mobai's attention, and when he saw that the middle-aged man might make further evaluations, he abruptly interrupted his words, and couldn't help but think of the old man he had just seen and the young man who was doing the game for Yue Mingchuan, and whether there was some kind of connection between this middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the jar for a while, and praised, "It's really a good thing, I wonder if Boss Yue is willing to transfer it?" ”
