Chapter 28: Ancient Paintings

"Sell me your 'Fucha Sword', and I can give you a good price, how about it?" Lin Meiru said with a smile on her face.

Li Tianbao's heart was immediately extinguished for a while, and he thought, "I said that why is this girl so kind to care about whether I have money to spend, it turns out that she is still thinking about my sword." Then Li Tianbao said to Lin Meiru: "How many times have I told you, my sword will never be sold in my life, your careful thinking should save you." ”

"Cut, I don't have the ability to make money, not to mention, I have accompanied more than 400,000 yuan since it opened, I think you can hold on for a few days." Lin Meiru said with a disdainful face.

Li Tianbao was already angry, and let Lin Meiru be so sarcastic, her face was naturally a little unbearable, and she thought, "Zhang Xiaoqi is just going to trap himself, and now Lin Meiru, who is partnering with him to open a store, is also against himself because of the 'husband and sword'." ”

"This store has half of my 'shares', and if I run out of money, I will not sell my sword if I sell the store."

Li Tianbao's words made Lin Meiru blush, and then immediately said: "The store only has half of your shares, and you have no right to sell it, hum!" ”

"You don't have the right to sell it, right, okay, you give me 1.5 million, and I won't ask you for the money for decoration, this store is all yours alone."

"If you want to be beautiful, I won't let you get what you want, and if you run out of money, I'll see if you will sell the 'Fucha Sword'." After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the counter, ignoring Li Tianbao no more.

There is really nothing to do in the face of Lin Meiru and Li Tianbao, but now he is indeed in the extreme. said loudly to Lin Meiru: "Money, I can earn it myself, in short, you will no longer worry about my 'husband and sword' in the future, I will give you this shop." Master, I'll go out and make money by myself, damn, I'll take down the 'Fengyuantang' opposite for you to see. ”

"Just you, I really don't believe it." Lin Meiru was actually angry, obviously she had often sarcastically mocked Li Tianbao in the past, and she hadn't seen him react. But today it is clearly not.

"Within a month, I won't take down the 'Fengyuan Hall' on the other side, and I will crawl out of the 'Pan Jiayuan' on my knees."

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he strode out of the "Ru Bao Hall" without looking back.

Lin Meiru sat at the counter and pouted, "Cut, I don't believe you have the ability to open your own store." ”

Li Tianbao regretted a little when he walked out of "Ru Baotang", blaming himself for being too impulsive and not being angry with Lin Meiru, but if he thought about it, if he went back like this, he would feel a little unable to raise his head in the face of Lin Meiru.

Thinking about the first day of opening, because he wanted to help people, he was overwhelmed by Zhang Xiaoqi for 450,000, and Li Tianbao also felt aggrieved in his heart.

In a few days, Li Tianbao didn't come up with any way to make money, let alone how to collapse Zhang Xiaoqi's store and take it down. In addition to sleeping in his rental house, Li Tianbao just wandered around like no one else, during which he happened to take time to visit his master Gui Qiren, and also chatted with the master about antiques, but that knowledge is not something that can be understood in ten days or eight days, and it is probably a problem for one or two decades, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Tianbao to learn those things in a down-to-earth manner with such a quick temper.

After coming out of the master's place, Li Tianbao visited some shops in the antique market, including some stalls, hoping to pick up the leak again through the "Pixiu Eye", but it backfired, and the "Pixiu Eye" never appeared, and there was not even a little reaction.

Li Tianbao doesn't know when the unfortunate Pixiu will appear, and some really good things in the antique store will not be sold at all if they are not big, hundreds of thousands, and Li Tianbao only has a thousand yuan on him, not to mention picking up leaks, it is estimated that there will be problems in survival if he continues like this.

"Damn, sir, it's rare for me to start with a thousand yuan!" Then I thought about it, "How can there be so many remnants of antiques in this world, and they are antiques without major fragments." ”

While pondering, Li Tianbao suddenly remembered Wang Xiaoyu, "I don't know if that kid still has a stall?" Just go look for him! ”

This day is Saturday, Li Tianbao came to Panjiayuan Antique City by himself when he had nothing to do, and saw that the streets were densely packed with stalls, and the flow of people was surging and the sound of bargaining came from time to time.

Li Tianbao walked towards the place where Wang Xiaoyu had set up a stall before, and when he passed by an antique stall, Li Tianbao suddenly felt the blue light and blue mist in his two eyes, which surged slightly without any expectation, but then he didn't feel anything.

After a convulsion, Li Tianbao immediately became happy and thought, "What's the matter?" ”

Before Li Tianbao could figure out what was going on, he felt that something on the stall in the afterglow seemed to be very different, and he didn't quite know whether this feeling was his own judgment or a hint of "Pixiu Eye".

"Is there something good waiting for you?" Li Tianbao looked in the direction of the stall, and saw a stack of yellowish "rotten paper" randomly placed near the corner of the stall.

Li Tianbao frowned and looked carefully, and found that it seemed to be a whole piece of rice paper folded together, and some ink could be seen on the surface, but because it had been oxidized and yellowed for too long, it was not clear what it was, and it was estimated that no one would use it to wipe his buttocks.

Li Tianbao couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking, "What kind of good thing can this pile of rotten paper be, is it some couplets or something?" "At this moment, maybe a couplet worth a few thousand yuan can also temporarily relieve the economic pressure for Li Tianbao, yesterday the landlord has begun to urge the rent, the small broken basement actually costs a thousand yuan, if you don't hurry up to get some money, it's really not possible.

"Aren't you the apprentice of 'Fengyuan Hall' Gui Qiren - Old Man Gui?"

Li Tianbao heard that the stall owner actually knew him, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I forgive me for not recognizing you, may I ask your surname?" ”

Li Tianbao knew that the master had been on this street long enough, so some stall owners must have known him as well, so in order to negotiate the price with him for a while, of course they had to be polite to him.

"What is your surname or not, my surname is You, and people who are familiar with me call me 'Lao You'. I've dealt with your master a few times, and I used to give some good things to your store. ”

Li Tianbao remembered when he heard that there was indeed an old man who entered Fengyuan Hall once last month, that was when he was still a junior apprentice in Fengyuan Hall, but that time he had been wiping the counter and had not paid special attention to it, but when he heard that the master received him at that time, he did call him 'old oil'.

"It's you, I remembered, by the way, I'm no longer an apprentice in Fengyuan Hall now, and my master has retired to retire, I ......" Li Tianbao wanted to say that he had partnered with someone to open a shop, but the words were swallowed by him again, the reason is very simple, he already plans to set up his own door, and he wants to take down the "Fengyuan Hall".

Lao You didn't care about Li Tianbao's words, he only thought about doing business, if it wasn't for Li Tianbao staying in front of the stall and keeping an eye on his stall, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet a junior apprentice in his eyes.

"Oh, it turns out that your master has enjoyed Qingfu, how about it, do you have a fancy for my thing, we all know each other, I will definitely give you a cheaper."

Li Tianbao seemed to have felt that Lao You took the initiative to greet him because he wanted to sell his own things, and also remembered that the master said that this guy was as oily as the nickname that others gave him.

"Don't buy anything, I'm just looking at it, I can't afford to play with such a valuable thing." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lao You's disappointment to appear, and said, "What is your pile of broken paper?" ”

Lao You glanced in the direction pointed by Li Tianbao, and then grabbed the stack of rotten paper from the corner of the far back of the stall, and then threw it in front of Li Tianbao and said: "This is an ancient painting, but because the damage is too serious, it can't be repaired at all. ”

Although Lao You is very slippery, this is probably not a lie, after all, these calligraphy and paintings that have rotted to such an extent, except for Li Tianbao, who knows that there is a way to repair them, everyone else has already treated them as waste paper, and they can't be said to be white.

Li Tianbao was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you sell me this thing?" ”

Lao You was stunned at first, he really didn't expect a young man to buy this thing with him, as soon as he saw someone to sell something, Lao You's slippery side was immediately revealed, and first regretted Li Tianbao: "Oh, I seem to have given this thing to a person who is engaged in calligraphy and painting appraisal work in the research institute yesterday, and they have already given me a deposit of 1,000 yuan." Lao You said as he looked at Li Tianbao's color.

Li Tianbao naturally understood what Lao You meant, and deliberately got up and said: "Then forget it, this thing is actually useless to me, I thought it would be very cheap so I wanted to buy it back and study it, then I won't disturb your business." ”

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he turned around and left, and he did not show the slightest reluctance, and his steps were big and urgent.

Lao You was in a hurry when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Brother, you come back, we are all old acquaintances, we have something to discuss, I won't sell things to others, just sell them to you, let's make friends!" ”

Li Tianbao was happy after hearing this, and thought, "You old fritter, you want me to pay more, but there is no door." ”

After Li Tianbao returned to the stall and squatted down, he said to Lao You: "How much money, you can tell me, if I can accept it, I will take it, if it is too expensive, I can't do anything." ”

Lao You said with a smile: "Of course it won't be expensive, everyone is an acquaintance, how can it be expensive for you, so let's do it, you give me two thousand yuan, and I will sell this thing to you." ”

If it were in normal times, Li Tianbao would definitely agree happily, but let alone let him take out two thousand yuan, even if one thousand is a problem, Li Tianbao only has more than nine hundred yuan in his pocket. And Li Tianbao is not sure whether this painting will have a large area of defects at this time, if there is, it is estimated that it is difficult to repair it with blue light, and he can't be as lucky as last time, he can find the fragments of Yuan Qinghua, paper is not like porcelain, if there is damage, it is likely to be oxidized naturally.

Li Tianbao shook his head when he thought of this and said, "This thing is too expensive, I don't think I will buy it." ”

Lao You didn't wait for Li Tianbao to get up this time, but immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay, if you want to be too expensive, let's discuss it, so brother, you give me a price, if it's suitable, you can take it." ”;
