The collection of the old man of the Mu family is naturally extraordinary, and the precautions are also very strict, just the anti-theft door is three, not to mention the others. Moreover, looking at the posture, there are really a lot of things in it, because the room used for collection is very large, and it is also an independent small building.

After the last fingerprint verification, Xie Bin finally saw Old Man Mu's collection. To Xie Bin's surprise, this place was not full of jade and jade as Xie Bin imagined, but the first thing that caught his eye was a living room with a coffee table and a small stool, as well as a screen.

And there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, Xie Bin casually glanced at them, they are all genuine, and there is no shortage of works of the level of Huang Gongwang and Zhang Daqian.

There are also some porcelain, blue and white pastels, etc., in the corner, and there is also an armory rack with several swords hanging from it. It's just that Xie Bin hasn't studied these and doesn't know whether they're good or bad, but looking at the configuration around him, they shouldn't be ordinary.

In particular, the coffee table and small stool, as well as the screen, are all made of old sandalwood, but the style is the style of the Ming Dynasty. With Xie Bin's eyesight, he can naturally see whether this was imitated later. Especially the screen, which is also old sandalwood, but the payment on the screen is Wang Shimin's.

Wang Shimin is the first of the "Four Kings Wu Yun" in the early Qing Dynasty painting circle, although the composition of his painting style changes less, but the brush and ink are subtle, smooth and pine, rich and elegant, and studied under Dong Qichang, when he was a teenager, he also deliberately imitated Huang Gongwang's style, and had a great influence in the early Qing Dynasty.

However, there are not many works left behind, so the market price is not low now, although it is not as good as his master, but it is also a mid-to-high-grade work. It's just that Xie Bin didn't expect to see the screen he painted here, and looking at the final model, it was still made in the late period, and the painting style is quite mature, and the collection value is a few points higher.

Wang Shimin actually lived in the Ming Dynasty for most of his life, and Kangxi died in the nineteenth year at the age of eighty-nine. This screen style is in the style of the Ming Dynasty, but the inscription is the eleventh year of Kangxi, and the value has been greatly improved.

Of course, this is just something that Xie Bin can see, and there are still a lot of things that he doesn't understand, especially some calligraphy and paintings on the wall that Xie Bin didn't come to take a closer look. But this is the case, which has already surprised Xie Bin when he arrived.

What is a family, it does not mean that some people get together to be a family, but that this group of people together still has common interests, which can ensure the cohesion and survival of this family. And a patriarch or patriarch like Old Man Mu is responsible for managing these huge wealth and working for the benefit of the family.

This is the concept of the family, you can not consider things like the people's livelihood of the country, but you can't ignore your own family, no matter when, sitting in the position of the patriarch, you have to worry about the survival and continuation of the family.

The small interest group of the family began to form in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was particularly prosperous in the Han Dynasty, although Cao Cao had the intention to suppress it during the Three Kingdoms period, he died too early, and the family power was stronger in the Later Wei Dynasty, and it has become the mainstream of society in the Jin Dynasty.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were also several wise monarchs, and they also suppressed these family forces, but the family strength at that time was extremely strong and not easy to move. Just like Li Tang's family, they are actually related to Sui Yang's family, and they are also relatives to Wu Zetian's family.

For a hundred years before and after, the fighting back and forth was actually a family fighting. The main reason was the result of the marriages of the big families at that time. When those families were at their most prosperous, even Li Shimin did not dare to act rashly, and many decisions could only be compromised.

In this way, these families rose and fell with the wind and rain, continued until the Republic of China, and then reached their heyday, because of the current situation, those capable families even controlled the country's economic and military lifeline.

For example, the most typical Song family, the three sisters of the Song family, one married Lao Jiang and the other married Lao Sun, but they married Kong Xiangxi, the seventy-fifth generation side of Confucius.

Not to mention Lao Jiang and Lao Sun, they were the most famous and powerful figures in China at that time, and it was not unusual for the Song family to find them. This Kong Xiangxi is also not simple, he is the heir of Kong's money bank, which can be regarded as a strong alliance in business.

And such a huge family, Song Qingling sisters and brothers and sisters have a total of six people, although they parted ways due to differences in choice and political views in that era, but the relationship between several people is very good, even in those terrible years, the connection between several people is not close.

Moreover, although the brothers and sisters of the Song family and others had a slight regret in their lives, they all got a good death in the end, but the Song family continued under the leadership of Song Qingling until now.

I just want everyone to know that the so-called family is not just a family of people with a surname who can gather together, but an ancient and direct ideological concept, a family-oriented means of survival.

However, during the ten years of the catastrophe, many families were completely broken up, and everything was confiscated. But there are still some families that have survived, and the Song family is just one of them.

And although the Mu family can't be compared with a behemoth like the Song family, especially the political influence is even more insignificant. But in terms of wealth, it is not necessarily inferior, not to mention anything else, just Xie Bin saw this, which is enough to make the average rich person dumbfounded.

To put it bluntly, the things in this room are not something that can be bought with money. Money will depreciate one day, especially now that the economic bubble is so severe. And these things in the house will only become more and more valuable, as long as the Mu family has these things, even if they decline, there will be a comeback one day.

The ancients often said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", which is actually to say, which capable person does not arrange the life of his descendants properly before he dies? No matter how it is arranged and how effective the arrangement is, the purpose is to make this family continue better.

Old Man Mu didn't know that Xie Bin had thought about so many things in an instant, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" There's still one inside," he said, leading Xie Bin into another room.

This is a pure collection room, and a coffee table and stool placed outside are also collectibles, but they are just placed outside. If you want to say that the outside is just a large grocery room with everything, then the inside is very pure, all porcelain, all kinds of porcelain, large and small plates, plates and bowls are bottled.

There are blue and white, pastel, enamel color, entwined branches, paper patterns, dragon patterns, cloud patterns, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China.

The preservation of porcelain is simple and simple, but it is difficult to say that it is difficult, and it can be preserved very well if there are conditions. Old man Mu is like this here, and some of them look like new. Of course, it's just what it looks like, because someone cleans it up and wipes it down a lot.

However, Xie Bin is not very interested in this kind of porcelain, he doesn't play this, and he doesn't understand it very well, at most he can look at the patterns and handwriting on it, and he doesn't know anything about other aspects, at most he can recognize the shape, as for the most important thing to distinguish the authenticity of the dynasty, he really doesn't have that ability.

Seeing that Xie Bin was not interested in porcelain, Old Man Mu smiled slightly, beckoned to Xie Bin and said, "Here," he said and turned into a small room next door, which was quite suitable for Xie Bin's appetite, and there were jade ornaments, pendants, toys, and so on.

However, there are mostly nephrite jade, that is, Hetian jade, and occasionally some bloodstone and Tianhuang stone carved objects, which are also high-quality products. Especially Tian Huangshi, Xie Bin saw it for the first time, and he was very curious.

Tian Huangshi is the boss of the seal stone, a grade higher than the bloodstone, because of the color, deeply loved by the royal family, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has a lot of Tian Huangshi's seal in his hand, of course, there are more people.

Old Man Mu's only Tianhuang stone here is also a seal, but it is not a royal seal, but an incomprehensible font, it is a hieroglyph, but it is not a common one. Xie Bin picked it up and looked at it carefully, and felt that it should be something from the Ming Dynasty, and it was most likely that the emperor at that time rewarded some ethnic minorities with objects, and then I don't know how it fell into the hands of the Mu family.

Old Man Mu didn't stop Xie Bin's behavior, but just smiled and watched. Wait for Xie Bin to take a general look, and then drag out a large box. The box is made of camphor wood, which is very well sealed, and the outside is also carved with the pattern of the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Seeing this big box, Xie Bin's eyes lit up, this is a good thing. You don't need to look at Xie Bin to know that the objects preserved in camphor wood boxes are only calligraphy and paintings. Xie Bin himself has such a box, but it is not as big as this, and there are no collectibles in it.

And Old Man Mu is naturally not as empty as Xie Bin, but almost a box full of calligraphy and paintings, all of which have not been framed, and are stacked in boxes. Regardless of the quality, just looking at such a pile of calligraphy and paintings is enough to make many people feel incredible.

Xie Bin was a little excited, and asked Old Man Mu, "Old Mu, can I take a look?" "Porcelain doesn't matter, he can't read it anyway. But calligraphy and painting will not be let go no matter what, especially these calligraphy and paintings that may be genuine.

Old Man Mu nodded, took out a pair of white gloves from the side and handed them to Xie Bin.

Xie Bin naturally knew the rules, put on his gloves carefully, and then inhaled gently, trying to slow down his breathing rate, and not exhaling directly into the rice paper in the box, so as not to get damp.

The first is a painting of flowers and birds, the style of painting is chic and elegant, the image on the painting has both god and shape, unique, with the unique mood and charm of the literati, the style is relatively high, but the seal is Yun Shouping's. Yun Shouping is the Yun in the "Four Kings Wu Yun".

The market price of Yun Shouping's calligraphy and paintings is also not low, as long as it is genuine, in good condition, with a complete seal and inscription, such a painting can be sold for more than two million. Although Xie Bin is not an all-powerful and omniscient character, he himself plays this, and he is naturally familiar with this line of work.
