Chapter 35: Visiting Lin Kun
The next time, Hong Tianbao met with Uncle Gu and others. They made an appointment last night and went to Uncle Gu's other friend's house together today.
That person's name is Lin Kun, he is well-known in the capital, and when he goes to TV in the capital, CCTV's "Treasure Appreciation World" often invites him to be a guest. Actually, this person Hong Tianbao has seen it, it is the old man he met at the door of the Panjiayuan flower shop that day, but Hong Tianbao doesn't know it!
"If you kid dare to say one more word today, see if I come back and don't concoct you!" Uncle Gu gave Xia Xiaofeng a vaccination before going out, I was really afraid that this kid would make a big joke when the time came.
Xia Xiaofeng immediately shrank his neck and nodded again and again, he was afraid of Uncle Jigu. Last night, he just knew how terrifying it was, that is, countless flies were screaming in your ear, and they couldn't get rid of it, which was maddening.
The four of them got into Hong Tianbao's car, which was just right, and Uncle Gu showed the way. Together, they drove to Xicheng District, which is also an ancient city. Some places have been remodeled, alternating between the old and the new, and the heights are mixed. There are no major roads here, and the trails are criss-crossed, and it is very chaotic. If it weren't for Uncle Gu's guidance, Hong Tianbao would definitely not be able to get in or get out.
Uncle Gu asked Hong Tianbao to stop in front of a supermarket and then walk together.
The road surface here is not small, but the road surface is not a cement road, but a stone paving. The road surface is slightly uneven, but there is a different taste, and the group came to the door of a large courtyard.
There are two stone lions squatting at this doorway, but they are still powerful. The gate is very large, the two doors add up to about three meters, the gate is painted with crimson paint, and there is a plaque on it, which reads: Lin Mansion! This reminded Hong Tianbao of the mansion where officials lived in ancient times.
"Good fellows! What a posture! Xia Xiaofeng couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Don't be surprised! The ancestors of this friend of mine were officials in the Qing Dynasty for generations, and when they were at their strongest, they became members of the Military Aircraft Department. Uncle Gu explained.
Uncle Gu stepped forward, held one of the large copper rings in his hand, and knocked on the door three times.
After a while, an old woman opened the door, obviously she knew Uncle Gu.
"It turned out to be an ancient brother! Who else will it be? Come on in! The old man was still in the house. ”
"How is my sister-in-law doing? Xiao Gu came to disturb today, these are my three untalented disciples, Hong Tianbao, Xu Haocai and Xia Xiaofeng. You've come here to see Aunt Shi! Uncle Gu turned around and instructed Hong Tianbao and the others.
Hong Tianbao and the others didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Xia Xiaofeng kept calling his aunt and uncle, which made the old woman happy. The old man's favorite is this scene, so he enthusiastically took Xia Xiaofeng and others in, poured tea, and took out a lot of snacks and fruits! It was so kind that even Uncle Gu was a little appreciative.
"Brother Gu is here? Dude, I've been waiting for a long time! Ha ha! At this moment, a loud voice came from inside.
Uncle Gu stood up suddenly, his eyes were busy signaling to the three disciples, and Hong Tianbao and the others didn't care about eating and drinking, so they stood up immediately.
"Huh! This is the sin of the younger brother, and he will punish himself for a cup! ”
"Hmmm! Why stand up? Don't be inhibited, sit down, sit down! An old man walked out with a spring breeze on his face, and this person was Lin Kun.
Lin Kun knew about the arrival of a supreme meeting yesterday, so he didn't go out today. Otherwise, he would definitely go out for a walk in other times, especially these days when a lot of treasures have poured into the capital, and he can't sit still. The day before yesterday, he fished out a Qing Dynasty lotus vase, which can be regarded as a big leak.
He looked at everyone happily and knew that these three young men were Uncle Gu's disciples. When he saw Hong Tianbao, he was slightly stunned, and said secretly in his heart: This person has a little impression, it seems that he has seen it somewhere.
Uncle Gu introduced the disciple again, especially emphasizing that Hong Tianbao was his closed disciple.
"Tempo, huh? How do I think you have a good face! Lin Kun couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Gu was slightly surprised! Hong Tianbao smiled lightly, and as soon as they met, he recognized this person.
"Uncle Lin, do you remember the white porcelain of the Song Dynasty at the door of the Panjiayuan flower shop?"
"Oops! It turned out to be you lad! I said how familiar it is! Lin Kun suddenly woke up and beckoned everyone to drink tea again and again!
"What's going on?" Uncle Gu was confused, looking at the situation, they had really met, and it seemed that they had communicated.
Lin Kun smiled and told the story of that day, which had already spread in Panjiayuan, and it was a big deal. Now who doesn't know that the vampire of Panjiayuan vomits blood? Sell a few million Song Dynasty white porcelain cheaply. Cai Buqi was depressed for a whole week, and finally closed for two days.
Uncle Gu was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that one of the boiling Panjiayuan incidents some time ago was caused by Hong Tianbao. Hong Tianbao is his closed disciple, and he also has a light on his face in this matter, right? Looking at Hong Tianbao's eyes, he was even more satisfied.
This disciple is really lucky, in just one month, he has frequently picked up leaks. First the red sandalwood box, then the obscure jade cicada. In the end, he still picked up cheap in a place like Panjiayuan, where dragons and snakes were mixed, or the rumored vampires took food from their mouths.
He didn't know that Hong Tianbao also had two zodiac jade carvings, and neither Hong Tianbao nor Xia Xiaofeng had mentioned them to him. Hong Tianbao has never had a chance to talk about it, Xia Xiaofeng was shocked when he saw Uncle Gu, he still remembered this. Otherwise, he might be red-eyed.
"Tempo had good luck that day." Lin Kun smiled.
"Not good! It was a bad day. Hong Tianbao had a headache when he thought of Tang Xin's matter, and he didn't even want the white porcelain.
"How?" Uncle Gu was puzzled, was he unlucky like this? So what else do you want? Do you have to win a prize of 100 million to be lucky?
Hong Tianbao saw that everyone was looking at him, especially Xu Haocai and Xia Xiaofeng, and their eyes were no longer good. Xu Haocai thought that he had rejected some face some time ago, but who knew that Hong Tianbao was even more fierce, and now he still talks about cold words without a toothache!
Hong Tianbao told the story of provoking the witch that day.
Uncle Gu and Lin Kun, the two old men, were stunned, looking at Hong Tianbao fixedly, speechless. Xu Haocai and Xia Xiaofeng didn't know the three uniques of the capital, so they didn't react much.
"It turns out that you have a part in the two major events of Panjiayuan, and now Tianbao will be famous. Let's not talk about the vampires of Panjiayuan, the three capitals are definitely not easy to mess with. Lin Kun is also a member of the Antique Association, so he naturally knows the difficulty of the Tang Xin Witch, and as soon as he thinks of the witch and smiles, he shudders.
Uncle Gu also smiled bitterly, if he didn't know Hong Tianbao's family background, he would have wanted to take Hong Tianbao out of the capital.
Xu Haocai and Xia Xiaofeng were surprised, and felt that this matter was not simple, so they hurriedly asked Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu even talked about the situation of the three unique things in the capital more clearly, and he was even more worried about these two troublemakers, and even Hong Tianbao was shocked. If these two guys don't wake them up, I really don't know if they will poke the sky open.
Xu Haocai and Xia Xiaofeng were stunned, it can be seen that they were also frightened. Even Xia Xiaofeng, who is usually clever-tongued, is stammering at this time.
"Tianbao, try to hide from your grandfather these days!" Uncle Gu knew that he couldn't hide for a while, and he couldn't hide from the monk in the temple. But at least there is a layer of security, and he can be relieved.
"Is his grandfather safe?" Lin Kun asked curiously, he didn't know that place could escape the witch's entanglement.
Uncle Gu secretly told Lin Kun about Hong Tianbao's life experience, and Lin Kun was pleasantly surprised, no wonder Hong Tianbao didn't pay much attention to it. I am also happy that my brother can find such a disciple, maybe he will also benefit in the future.
"Since Tianbao still has this relationship, then we don't have to worry too much, at most, we will be teased, and it is useless to worry, Tang Xin is also in this business, and it is inevitable that Tianbao will meet her." Lin Kun hurriedly comforted Hong Tianbao and Uncle Gu.
"Come, drink tea first. Later, I will let you see the collection of the master, and then you can pick one in the utility area with your eyesight, where there are real and fake, it depends on your luck and strength. Lin Kun also intends to marry Hong Tianbao.
These words lit up everyone's eyes, and everyone had different motives. Ancient and purely for the sake of seeing treasures, Hong Tianbao is interested in other people's treasures, Xia Xiaofeng is worried about Lin Kun's treasures, and Xu Haocai is trying his best to persuade Lin Kun to auction a few treasures.
In fact, he also had a task when he came over this time, and the auction house gave him business indicators, which can be regarded as running business this time. If Lin Kun knew that this kid had bad motives, he would definitely not take everyone to his treasure room, it was completely to lure the wolf into the room.
Lin Kun's study and treasure room are connected, and the space is very large, the size of a classroom.
His collection is extensive, and he is also famous in the capital. His ancestors have been officials for many generations, and there are a lot of imperial gifts, and with the accumulation of several generations, it is even more surprising. There are many people who covet his baby, including major museums.
There are at least a thousand antiques here! This is very scary in a personal collection. Many people who think that they have collected everyone only have three or five hundred pieces, and even museums estimate that there are only 1,000 pieces. Of course, the Palace Museum also said that as the largest museum in the country, it has a collection of more than one million pieces, which cannot be compared.
Lin Kun first showed everyone a jade carving, which was a white jade Guanyin. Guanyin has a peaceful expression, sitting cross-legged on the jade lotus, standing with his left hand horizontally on his chest, and holding a willow leaf Guanshi bottle in his right hand.
"How much is this White Jade Guanyin worth?"
Don't think about it, this must have been asked by Xia Xiaofeng, Uncle Gu glared at him, and finally continued to watch helplessly.
"Huh! My nephew seems to be very interested in valuation! This white jade Guanyin has a history of 500 years, it is carved from Hetian jade in Xinjiang Province, and the handiwork is excellent, but unfortunately there is no background, but it is also worth between one million and one million three million. Lin Kun also has a good impression of this Xia Xiaofeng, who has no taboos in speaking.
"It seems to be a lot worse than my cousin's zodiac jade carving." Xia Xiaofeng muttered a few times.
"Zodiac jade carving? What zodiac jade carving? Lin Kun asked suspiciously, even Uncle Gu was confused, when did Hong Tianbao come up with a zodiac jade carving again?
"Haven't you heard of it?" Xia Xiaofeng stared at Uncle Gu and Lin Kun strangely, and listened to Hong Tianbao and Ye Jianzhong say that the zodiac jade carving is unparalleled in the world, and it should be very famous!
"There are many zodiac jade carvings in history, and the most famous is the Ming Dynasty's zodiac god jade carving. However, it is a rumor, and it has not been confirmed whether it is true or not. How do we know which one you say? Seeing this guy's expression, it's not clear what he thinks?
"It's the Ming Dynasty's zodiac god jade carving!" Xia Xiaofeng's words were not shocking, and he was endless.
