Chapter 375: Selling Calligraphy and Paintings

readx;

Lin Dong's heart moved, his eyes swept over the brocade box in the hand of the guard behind Wang Zaixing, and finally understood Wang Zaixing's intention. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The owner of this Wang Ji pawnshop is likely to come to the door to sell.

Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's all worthless things." ”

"Coral trees, amber cups, gemstone candlesticks, ......" Wang Zaixing smiled and told the unique treasures of the Tianzi Room of Lin Ji Inn one by one, and the familiarity was no worse than Lin Dong.

"The Tianzi room of Lin Ji Inn, looking at the Han Kingdom, I am afraid that only the bedrooms of princes and nobles can be compared. Shopkeeper Lin felt that it was not worth much, but it was a little too much. ”

Lin Dong smiled and said nothing, wanting to force Wang Zaixing out to get to the point. These things were all obtained from Xinglizong last time, and all the things that should be sold were sold, and some of them were left to decorate the Tianzi room according to the method of Yang Shun, the chief eunuch.

Lin Dong did not boast about the decoration of the chat room, which surprised Wang Zaixing slightly, this should be the first time that he did not grasp Lin Dong's words and deeds.

The brief surprise soon disappeared, this kind of small loss of control, Wang Zaixing was completely able to accept it, and immediately smiled: "Shopkeeper Lin, I don't know who arranged the Tianzi room of Lin Ji Inn?" ”

"A friend." Lin Dong's tone was quite polite, but the meaning of his words had an obvious taste of reluctance to talk deeply.

Wang Zaixing suddenly found that he had overlooked a problem, according to common sense, no matter who talked about his proudness, he would be very interested in talking. Unless, the Tianzi room of Lin Ji Inn is not a place where this Lin shopkeeper is proud. Or, the treasures inside are not coming from the right way, no matter how interested the shopkeeper Lin is, he doesn't dare to talk more.

With a quick turn of thought, Wang Zaixing said: "This friend of the shopkeeper Lin must be a genius, according to me, all kinds of rare treasures in the Tianzi room of Lin Ji Inn are reasonably matched and arranged to complement each other, volatilizing the dazzling places of various rare treasures to the fullest, and at the same time using the dazzling places of other rare treasures to cover up the shortcomings. Rich and elegant, elegant and noble, not hidden from the shopkeeper, I actually lived in the Tianzi room for one night, and all night, I was lingering in the layout and collocation of the Tianzi room. ”

Lin Dong was a little energetic, he did not hesitate to take the risk of exposure to subdue Yang Shun, being able to put an eyeliner and nails next to Emperor Qianwei was one of the reasons, and the biggest reason was Yang Shun's talent in decoration. It's a pity that Yang Shun was in a hurry at the beginning, and he didn't have too in-depth layout of the layout of the inn, plus Lin Ji Inn is also nested in Autumn Wind City, and the area and floors can't be compared with the current one.

What Lin Dong didn't expect was that Wang Zaixing, the owner of the pawnshop, was actually so good at decoration. The collocation and pattern of the Tianzi room, ordinary people just think it is good, but they definitely can't say what is good, but this Boss Wang can explain it.

Wang Zaixing was afraid that the rare treasures of the Tianzi Room of the Lin Ji Inn would really come from the wrong way, and if he said too much, Lin Dong would resist, so he omitted the detailed perceptions and advantages and disadvantages of various collocations, and said directly: "Shopkeeper Lin, I look at the wall of your Tianzi room, and the calligraphy and painting seem to be a little worse in the two paintings and one word." The east side is a sea of clouds map, and the west side is a pair of mountains and rivers, all of which are written by famous teachers, and the artistic conception is extraordinary. However, the calligraphy and painting in the north, although it is also the handwriting of famous teachers, is more than domineering, but it lacks the elegant wealth that complements the sea of clouds and thousands of mountains and rivers. ”

"What good advice does President Wang have?" Lin Dong was slightly happy in his heart, Wang Zaixing's explanation may not be as detailed as the explanation of the calligraphy and paintings on the three walls in the decoration drawings that Yang Shun handed over to him, but it said the most important point.

According to the introduction in Yang Shun's decoration map, the left and right walls of the door, but whenever there are guests coming in for the first time, they are just swept by, and at first glance, what they see is the wall opposite. Therefore, the left and right walls must be dominated by a relatively large pattern and a delicate and elegant painting style, and the wall directly opposite the first sight should be hung with a calligraphy and painting that can complement the afterglow and be relatively clear. In this way, the calligraphy and painting that can attract people's attention to the past in one fell swoop, and then the picture scrolls on the left and right sides have a complementary effect, which will make people can't help but look at the past to study.

When you meet someone who has studied calligraphy and painting, just these two paintings are enough to make people forget to leave. Even for people who have no research on calligraphy and painting, the first impression must have a sense of nobility, elegance and elegance. Then, the eyes will be attracted by the most dazzling coral trees in the room, and then all kinds of rare treasures, if Yang Shun's explanation is correct, all the furnishings in the room have a special meaning, almost with which to control the eyes of the guests, people can't help but look at the past one by one in order, and from bad to good, step by step, and finally the colorful bed that covers the light with a gauze tent.

It can be said that no matter whether it is tacky or tasteful, guests will be led by the decoration of the room when they enter the door. Lin Dong tried to find someone to enter the door, and then wrote down his feelings, although some of the furnishings were a little different from Yang Shun's decoration drawings, such as the calligraphy and paintings directly opposite, the pale golden candlelight in the room, and the thousand-year-old sandalwood tables and chairs...... But the effect is not much worse, and the eyes almost all move according to the introduction of the decoration drawing. Therefore, Lin Dong didn't care too much about the slight deviation, after all, many things, not to mention in Lingnan City, even if the entire Great Han Kingdom, could not necessarily be bought with money. Yang Shun was in a hurry, and did not take into account the financial resources and ability of Lin Ji Inn, Tianzifang can have this effect, in Lin Dong's opinion, it is good enough. If you really want to follow Yang Shun's decoration plan, I am afraid that only Emperor Qianwei will feel dissatisfied when he comes to the door.

"Shopkeeper Lin, I have a pair of calligraphy and paintings, from the handwriting of Emperor Hongyun, I wonder if Shopkeeper Lin is interested in taking a look?" Wang Zaixing asked.

"Emperor Hongyun?" Lin Dong was slightly surprised, this Emperor Hongyun was also a well-known figure in the history of the Great Han Kingdom. Its fame is no worse than those Ming monarchs and tyrants in the history of the Han Kingdom. The reason has nothing to do with his political achievements, mainly because this Emperor Hongyun has a good hand, even among the calligraphers who have appeared in the Great Han Kingdom for thousands of years, he can steadily enter the top ten. In addition, Emperor Hongyun's imperial status and inheritance are very rare, and his calligraphy is rarely imitated by people to imitate the charm, so there is no calligraphy and painting worth less than 100,000 taels. high, even to the millions that make any rare treasure look up to the mountains.

"It was Emperor Hongyun, and it was my luck to say that 500,000 taels of silver were received from a down-and-out prince. I wanted to keep it as an heirloom, but after seeing the Tianzi room of Lin Ji Inn some time ago, I hesitated again and again, and still felt that this calligraphy and painting should be placed in the Tianzi room so that it would not bury its value, and it would be left in my hands, just a tyrannical thing. Wang Zaixing looked at Lin Dong's surprised expression, smiled indifferently, and everything was back in his hands.

"500,000 taels ......" Lin Dong was speechless, because of the value of this calligraphy and painting, and Wang Zaixing's boldness. 500,000 taels of silver calligraphy and paintings dare to be sold around you, not to mention that if you accidentally bump into the core of the painting and damage it, you have to drop the price of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"I wonder if Shopkeeper Lin is interested in taking a look?" Wang Zaixing smiled and said: "I believe that once this calligraphy and painting is hung in the Tianzi room, the accommodation fee can immediately rise to 100 taels of silver a night." Moreover, the value of calligraphy and painting itself will only be higher and will not decrease. ”

"Look...... That's good! Lin Dong couldn't help but nodded, if it was really a genuine work, anyway, there was a lot of spare money on hand, and it didn't hurt to buy it, even if there were few people in Lingnan City who could afford to live in a room for a hundred taels of silver a night, it would be worth it just to increase the popularity of Lin Ji Inn. Not to mention that he can show his strength when he arrives in the capital, and he can also make friends with Wang Zaixing by the way.

Wang Zaixing's reputation is not very good, but as long as it is helpful to Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong does not mind getting involved with him. After all, it is not a short time for Lin Ji Inn to enter the capital, and when it arrives in the capital, it may not be possible to contact Yang Shun. At the very least, the decoration of the branches in the prefectures and counties in Lingnan City can ask Wang Zaixing for help. Although Wang Zaixing can only see the collocation and overall effect of the decorations in the Tianzi Room, and can't see Yang Shun's more profound intentions, it is not bad, at least, his design is definitely better than Lin Ji Inn after adding more floors and using the decoration map that Yang Shun hastily made.

Hearing this, Wang Zaixing's eyes flashed with a gleam. Although there are some deviations in Lin Dong's words and deeds, it is only halfway, and there is no problem in the first half of the ending.

The right arm was raised, and Wang Zaixing's index finger stretched out and hooked slightly.

Behind him, the guard holding the long brocade box took a few steps forward and carefully placed the brocade box in front of Wang Zaixing.

Wang Zaixing gently opened the brocade box and took out a small circle of brocade box.

Then he opened the small brocade box, revealing a scroll about one meter long in Lin Dong's sight.

"Shopkeeper Lin, this is a pair of words written by Emperor Hongyun himself, the name of the word is Wan Xue Piao, and the artistic conception and the paintings on the east and west sides of the Tianzi room complement each other." Wang Zaixing carefully took out the scroll and held it in front of Lin Dong: "The scroll has been painted with the branches of the cherished leafy tree, which can protect it from insects, ants, moisture, miscellaneous smells and other hazards within a hundred years. If it takes too long, it is easy to melt the sap and damage the core. ”

Lin Dong nodded and carefully took the scroll sent by Wang Zaixing.

Untying the string on the scroll, Lin Dong grabbed the bottom with one hand and the roll with the other, and slowly rubbed it to make it slowly unfold.

On the other side, Wang Zaixing's face showed a confident sneer.

The newly rising wealthy merchants in Lingnan City are still a little too tender.

Lin Dong, who was covered by the picture scroll, was already a fat sheep who didn't understand the sinister hearts of people in his eyes at this moment.
