The old man who looked like a high-level intellectual walked to the stall and shouted a few times, but the old man who set up the stall seemed to have bad ears, and the people around him felt deafening, but he was still comparing the price with the person opposite, which made the old man very embarrassed, so he had to step forward and pat the old man on the shoulder.

Only then did the old man react, and when he looked back at the old man, he greeted him: "Oh, it's Professor Niu!" ”

After the professor said hello, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Did you bring anything?" ”

"Well, brought it!"

The old man nodded, and then took out something wrapped in sackcloth from the package, and at this time the people around him were attracted by the conversation between the two, and they all looked at the scroll of sackcloth with curiosity.

When he opened it, the middle-aged man who was like an outburst realized that there was a picture box inside. The interpolated picture box, the box body is rectangular, it looks like amber golden color, the pulp is crystal clear, although the style is very simple, but it is very simple and natural, and it looks very extraordinary.

And what makes the middle-aged man's heart stir is that if he is not mistaken, this painting box is likely to be made of Huanghuali zuò, the box is made of such a good material, what the painting inside looks like, he feels a little unimaginable!

Professor Niu took out the lid of the box very cautiously and took out a calligraphy work inside, why did the middle-aged man think it was a calligraphy work, because the scroll was too narrow, his rough estimate should be less than thirty centimeters, he really didn't believe that there would be such a narrow painting.

However, the reality was much more than he expected, and this work was really a painting.

The paintings are narrow and not long. The length seemed to be only fifty or sixty centimeters, and Professor Niu opened the scroll little by little. After looking at it very carefully, he took out the magnifying glass he had with him.

A small line of calligraphy inscribed on the top of this painting. Underneath is a pine and cypress, and there are multiple seals on it.

As if he was looking at some rare treasure, Professor Niu read the whole scroll again and again without letting go of the words written on the painting, the pen and ink used in the pine and cypress, the seal of the stamp, the paper of the painting, the mounting of the painting scroll, and so on.

Professor Niu watched this for half an hour, and the middle-aged man also looked at it motionlessly. But he didn't feel tired, because he was already fascinated by the painting.

To say that the middle-aged man actually doesn't understand the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, but he learned from the book that many famous paintings have been collected by dignitaries and dignitaries in the past......

When the middle-aged man saw this seal, he was shocked in his heart. Because he knew from the book that this seal inscription was specially made by Emperor Qianlong in 1790 to commemorate his 55th reign and celebrate his 80th birthday.

The content of Qianlong's "Eight Expeditions and Treasures of the Elderly" was repeatedly engraved for 37 squares, and almost every square was printed by Qianlong himself. The giant "Treasure of the Eight Signs" seal is usually only displayed in the palace, while the small "Treasure of the Eight Signs" seal is often used in calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, the middle-aged man felt. The work in front of him must be Qianlong's favorite thing back then.

Professor Niu finally finished reading the painting. He carefully put the scroll away and put it back behind the box. Then he asked, "How much does this painting cost?" ”

The old man didn't answer immediately, but first looked around, looked at everyone's expressions, and then stretched out a finger and said, "We are also old acquaintances, and I don't offer any outrageous prices, just 10,000!" ”

Hearing the price offered by the old man, Professor Niu was shocked and said, "Ten thousand?!" Too expensive! It's too expensive! It's just five thousand, okay? ”

Not only Professor Niu, but others were also quite surprised when they heard the offer of 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, although there are a lot of 10,000 households in these years, but it is still quite a face-saving word, and a painting actually costs 10,000 yuan, no wonder these people around them are surprised.

However, the middle-aged man was very sneering at everyone's expressions, what a group of old people, 10,000 yuan, actually made a fuss like this! You must know that this is Qianlong's favorite Mobao, and it can be sold for at least one or two million when you change hands, where can you find such a good thing?

"You're boring, I said that I don't play false, I'll give you a real price, why are you still such an outrageous counteroffer?" The old man shook his head again and again, and his attitude was very resolute.

"It's cheaper, I also earn two dead wages, 10,000 yuan is really a bit unbearable!"

As he spoke, Professor Niu looked down at the picture box in his hand again, gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I only brought a total of 7,000 yuan today, and I will give you all the 7,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

The old man shook his head unmoved.

"Eight thousand!" Professor Niu was a little anxious.

The old man saw Professor Niu's anxious appearance, so he relieved himself and said, "For the sake of you being an old customer, I will count you less than 100%, 9,000 yuan, you can either take it!" ”

"Don't mind, it's just eight thousand, it's not too little!" Professor Niu said in a hurry when he heard this.

"It's just nine thousand, if you say eight thousand, I won't sell you nine thousand!" The old man's tone had begun to be a little annoyed.

Professor Niu was speechless when he heard this, so he had to say: "Okay, nine thousand is nine thousand, but I only brought eight thousand this time, we are also old acquaintances, I will give you eight thousand first, you give me the painting first, and I will take the money to make it up to you later, do you think it's okay?" ”

"No! Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, this matter is not negotiable! The old man's attitude was unusually firm, and one hand reached over and dragged the painting over.

Seeing this, Professor Niu looked helpless, so he had to say: "Then you must keep the painting for me, and I will be back soon!" With that, he hurried into the distance.

The people around saw that there was nothing lively to see, and after a while, they walked away, leaving only the middle-aged man who was like an explosive household.

"Uncle, will I sell that painting?" The middle-aged man saw that there was no one left and right, so he spoke.

The old man shook his head again and again and said, "No, although I am poor, I can't do that kind of treacherous thing if I talk about it." ”

The middle-aged man persuaded: "Uncle, who should this talk be used for, you see just now, that person obviously brought eight thousand, but he also said that he only brought seven thousand, what kind of credibility is there for this kind of person, in case he just talked, didn't you wait in vain?" ”

"This ......" The old man seemed to be moved by the middle-aged man's words, and hesitated for a while.

"I'll add two hundred!" The middle-aged man stretched out two fingers and shook them.

The old man still looked pensive.

"Five hundred! ……”

"Eight hundred! Uncle, you see that in the factory now, it takes several months to earn 800 yuan, and if you buy rice, this money is enough for a family of five to eat for a year. ”

Hearing this, the old man finally moved his heart and asked, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"That's it!" The middle-aged man patted the bag he was carrying and said, "Let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

"Okay! The painting is yours! ”

Hearing the old man's agreement, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, and hurriedly counted nine thousand eight hundred yuan from his bag, handed it over, and waited until the old man confirmed that it was correct, and hurriedly took the picture box and left in a hurry, and at this time the old man's face was also flooded with a strange smile......

Seeing this qiē in his eyes, Du Hou shook his head again and again, but this kind of thing is not common in the antique industry, but it is not uncommon, although he looks down on this kind of crooked and evil way, but he can't control this kind of thing that he is willing to fight and suffer, at most he can only expect the middle-aged man to eat a trench and grow wise.

Originally, this incident was just a small episode, but what made Du Hou a little depressed was that in the few months he was in the capital, he actually met this group of people one after another, of course, the place where he met this group of people must not be in the same place, but seeing others being deceived in front of him really made him very angry.

So when Du Hou met that group for the fourth and last time, he couldn't help but walk over and try to stir up this scam......

Hearing this, Chu Chen suddenly said with a calm expression: "Old Du, I think you got this purple clay pot here!" But you're so bold, they have a bunch of people, and you're the only one, and you're not afraid they're going to turn it against you? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Du Hou said with a smile: "I thought of this as soon as I walked to the stall, and I retreated at that time, but just as I was about to turn around and leave, I accidentally saw this tree gall pot, and I thought this pot was a fake, but after a closer look, I found that it was not what I thought at all, and this pot is likely to be a real thing." ”

Chu Chen nodded clearly, but he was very concerned about what happened to that group, so he asked, "What happened to that group?" ”

Du Hou shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and then it seems that the gang disappeared somehow." ”

"I know that!" Uncle Wu said with a smile: "That group of people has been doing things in the major antique markets in the capital, and the result has caused public outrage, and finally everyone launched a relationship to arrest this group of people, and it was during the crackdown, and the two masterminds are likely to have not come out yet!" ”

"No wonder!" Du Hou said suddenly: "Don't talk about this, Xiao Chu, you also know that I have no interest in the tea ceremony, and this tree gall pot is considered a tyrannical thing to put here, and I will transfer this pot to you for one million!" ”

Chu Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "How can this be! ”

You must know that this is a spring pot, and Chu Chen can be sure that it is genuine, if you want to talk about its value, let alone a million, even if it is 10 million, it is not much, therefore, how can Chu Chen accept it?

"That's it!" Du Hou waved his hand and said: "I'm an old man, why do I need so much money, even if you help me find the reward for Yuan Qinghua, we will settle this matter!" ......" (To be continued......)
