Chapter Eighty-Three: Grandpa Goes Out
"Did you really get five Song books?" When he arrived at home, his uncle couldn't wait to ask Yang Jing.
Although my uncle has not played antiques much in recent years, he has also been nurtured by his grandfather since he was a child. It's just that he's been taking care of his grandfather at home for the past few years, and he doesn't have the time or energy to do this thing anymore.
However, this does not mean that my uncle does not understand this.
What the Song version of the book means, my uncle couldn't be clearer. After all, he was a serious antique dealer back then......
Yang Jing said with a smile: "Uncle, I just suspect that it is Song Shu carving, isn't it still undecided? But even if it is not Song Shu carving, this Ming carving book is only 10,000 yuan to take, and I will not suffer a loss." With that, Yang Jing took out the book "Between the Flowers" from his backpack and handed it to his uncle.
The old man nodded and said, "I didn't let go of the mistake! Xiaojing, you did the right thing, as long as you feel suspicious, then take it directly!"
After speaking, the old man took out a pair of gloves from the drawer and began to look at the book "Between the Flowers" carefully.
Yang Jing gave his uncle pointers on the side, and then when the uncle finished reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't tell me, I really can't see the difference between those five pages and other pages." But when you say that, these five pages really have a bit of meaning. ”
As he spoke, the old man picked up the book and walked out, "Let your grandfather see, your grandfather is more proficient in this aspect, if he can't see it anymore, I'll find you an expert to palm." ”
After a morning of strolling outside, the old man was already tired, and he was lying on the bed at this time ready to squint for a while, but he was troubled by his uncle, and the old man was a little unhappy like a child.
However, when the old man took out the "Flower Collection" and put it in front of the old man, the old man's face suddenly turned cloudy.
Without waiting for the old man's orders, Yang Jing took the old man's reading glasses and put them on for the old man.
The old man glared at his uncle, "Come here with a pair of gloves, I don't mind ...... eyes"
The old man ran to his house very doggedly, took a pair of gloves and trotted over, waiting for the old man to put the gloves on, and the old man carefully picked up the book "Between the Flowers".
"Alas...... It's a good book, it's ......."
Obviously, my grandfather was very dissatisfied with the quality of this "Flower Collection".
"Xiaojing, where did this book come from?"
"Grandpa, I bought this book, it cost 10,000 yuan, and I bought it at the store where we watched Wang Shishen's "White Plum Picture" in the morning. ”
"Wang Shishen's "White Plum Picture"? Xiaolong, are we going out in the morning?" the old man asked his uncle with a puzzled expression.
Yang Jing and his uncle glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.
Yes, this is the case in the old man's memory, and it has not been ten minutes before he gets home, and the old man has forgotten that his son and grandson have taken him to the antique market in the morning.
"Grandpa, take a look at this book, give it a palm. Yang Jing's words diverted the old man's attention, otherwise with the old man's temper, he would definitely ask where he went in the morning, how he went, and what he went to do...... If you explain it to the old man, it is estimated that the lunch will be finished.
"What kind of eyes? You can't see the origin of this book yourself? Have you forgotten all the things I taught you?"
Yang Jing was very interested and immediately shut up, and the old man saw that no one was choking, so he lowered his head and opened the book "Between the Flowers".
"Well, this should be a family engraving, as you can see from the printing process. Hey, it's still a thin gold body of the Ming carving, which is very rare...... "Grandpa is grandpa, just look at the first page and see that this book is a family engraving."
What is a connoisseur?
A connoisseur in the antiques industry is not necessarily a college graduate, and a college graduate may not be able to become an expert in this industry.
Experience is the most important thing in this industry, you can learn these things without a major, but as long as you see enough and get started with enough things, then you can accumulate enough experience! Once you reach a certain level of experience, then you can become an expert!
In the world of antiques, that is what is called the real "master in the folk"! Many folk masters are no worse than those experts who often appear on television, and even more so than those experts!
My grandfather was such a true connoisseur of the hidden folk. My grandfather, who has been hanging around in the ghost market of Yanjing Laosijiu City since he was a child, although he stopped for a long time in middle age, but from the eighties to the new century, the old man has never let go of this business. If you really count the time that the old man has been in this industry, he definitely has more than most experts.
My grandfather looked at it while gesturing with his hand in the void, and it was in the void that he copied the words on it.
The old man's calligraphy is also good, but since he was sick, he has never touched the pen again, and now he suddenly saw this thin gold body of the Ming carved book, and the hobby that had been forgotten gradually woke up again.
The old man said while gesturing: "Although this book is a Ming engraving book, it is still a rare thin gold body Ming engraving book, but in this condition, 10,000 yuan is not worth it! This book is 4,000 yuan at most." ”
Yes, the old man put the price of seven or eight years ago on the set, seven or eight years ago a Ming carved book, the quality can reach eight grades is only two or three thousand yuan, this is a relatively rare thin gold body, but after all, the preservation is not good, four thousand yuan is a more suitable price.
However, Yang Jing didn't dare to refute the old man, the old man has his pride in this regard, if Yang Jing, a junior, dares to be blind, the old man will definitely teach people a lesson.
Grandpa read it very carefully and slowly, but even if he was an old man, when he saw the sixth page, he only looked at it for a short while, and then he naturally turned the page.
"Well, it seems that even grandpa didn't see the difference on that page. Yang Jing shook his head secretly.
But when the old man turned to the eleventh page, he suddenly let out a soft sound.
Then the old man stopped flipping, but looked down and thought about it, and then carefully turned the page back to the sixth page.
"That's right, I said how I looked at this page just now and felt a little different!" said the old man to himself, a smile on his face.
Yang Jing immediately handed the prepared magnifying glass to his grandfather, who showed a satisfied look of "teachable".
My grandfather took a magnifying glass and began to carefully observe the sixth page, and after looking at several places in a row, he said to my uncle with a solemn expression: "Xiaolong, you go to my bookshelf to get the book, well, it is the second layer of the bookshelf from top to bottom, on the right, the third volume of the set of books I made myself, all of them are brown paper covers, and on the spine there are seven words of 'Paper Annotation Volume III' written by me." Hurry up!"
Seeing that the old man's expression was wrong, the old man walked to the bookshelf that his grandfather said and began to look for it......
