Chapter 55: Qi Baishi's Mirror Heart
Got something good?
Xu Qing likes good things.
Good things are expensive, but there is a reason for being expensive, and the probability of a spiritual treasure coming out of a good thing is relatively high.
There is a spiritual treasure, and this trip is not in vain.
Originally, he was also worried that the Hurricane's chassis would be too low to pass some sections.
However, after checking the information, it was found that the chassis of this car can be lifted, up to 13 centimeters, which is infinitely close to the chassis height of most ordinary cars, which means that this car can adapt to most road conditions in cities and even towns.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Northern suburbs.
In a two-story farmhouse with high walls and several surveillances.
Xu Qing took Liu Lin's hand and followed Shi Dahai into the house.
While walking, he whispered to Liu Lin: "This yard is really good, the area is not large, but there is a lot of Qiankun inside, this grass and tree show the elegance of the owner, but it seems that it has not been cleaned up for a while, and the flowers are dry." β
Liu Lin nodded: "The grapes are growing very well, and they are almost ready to eat." β
ββ¦β¦β
The yard is very exquisite, there are flowers, grass, vegetable furrows in the small yard, there are pomegranates, grapes and stone tables and stools, in summer, about three or five friends sit around the stone tables and stools under the grape trellis to drink tea and chat and exchange antique markets, it must be quite comfortable.
However, it is obvious that after the owner of the yard left, these flowers and plants were neglected, and even a few small birds had poop on the stone table.
There were more than a dozen people in the living room, including the main family and buyers, two of whom were acquaintances, and they greeted Shi Dahai one after another: "The shopkeeper Shi is also here." β
"This is the newly acquired genius apprentice of the stone shopkeeper, right? Congratulations. β
"Lao Shi, are you taking your apprentice out to see the world?"
"It's good for apprentices."
Shi Dahai smiled and bowed his hand to greet.
Xu Qing also greeted him.
Eat in a circle, look up and don't look down, and say hello a few more times is a friend.
Then, focus on the dΓ©cor of your living room.
There are words, paintings, and some fragmentary pendants on the wall, all of which can be seen to the naked eye are old, but most of the quality is average, except for a two-meter-long landscape painting on the sofa.
The painting is quite good, he liked it at a glance, magnificent, far-reaching artistic conception, standing at the door you can feel the oncoming landscape atmosphere.
It's just that the author's fame is not very big, and his name is Li Yuanchang.
Xu Qing is sure that the vast majority of ordinary people and most so-called collectors have never heard of this name.
But Liu Changan knew.
This Li Yuanchang's sense of existence is very low, and there are very few hand-me-down works, so most people have never heard of this name, except for a very few erudite people and experts who specialize in Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting.
Of course, it's different now than before, even if you don't know each other, you can find a little information by searching on the spot.
But it's a pity that Li Yuanchang has quite little information on the Internet, and there are only about 100 words on the encyclopedia.
However, in fact, Li Yuanchang, who was also a generation of landscape masters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was one of the founding fathers of the Tiandu School, although the influence of the Tiandu School was not so great, it could only be regarded as a local small school, and it could become the founder of the school, which in itself is a proof of strength.
I just don't know if this painting is a spiritual treasure.
Xu Qing quietly observed, listened, and searched for any information that might be used later.
There are three groups of people in the main family, two men and one woman, all of whom are middle-aged, their faces are not very good, but their spirits are quite excited, and the eldest eldest son arched his hand decently: "Thank you for appreciating the light, ah, I won't say much about this nonsense, let's start now, there are no rules, the one with the highest price wins, and everyone don't run around, in case there is a bump, it will be unclear." β
Speaking of this, he waved his hand: "Let's start in the living room, the pair of blue and white flowers at the door, the starting price is 50,000, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 each time." β
Flower goose is an antique vessel, the prototype is the bronze flower goose of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the shape is relatively ancient, the most suitable for decorations, there are many imitations in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the imitation is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many fine products.
But here this pair ......
Xu Qing was not interested.
However, his master Shi Dahai symbolically quoted a price.
The starting price of 50,000 yuan itself is close to the market price, and it is a big injustice to increase the price, they are doing business, not charity, and they don't do unprofitable business if they are killed.
Other buyers are similarly minded.
Therefore, the final transaction price was 56,000, which was a proper start.
The eldest son's face was ugly, and the second son and second daughter were equally unhappy.
However, the auction has to go on.
The second is the furnishings in the living room, a pair of Daoguang's pastel plates, the starting price is also 50,000, the transaction price is 60,000, the buyer is Shi Dahai, it is a small leak, Daoguang's plate is not very valuable, but there are not many pairs, not to mention the original match, there is a chance to sell it at a price of more than 100,000 yuan in the antique store.
After all, pairs have good meanings.
The auction is quite fast, there are not many people, and the competition is not fierce.
Moreover, the starting price is set too high, which greatly reduces the enthusiasm of everyone to bid.
Xu Qing didn't bid once.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that he spent 160,000 yuan to take down a green concubine bracelet of ice seeds, and then put it on Liu Lin's wrist on the spot, and kissed Liu Lin generously.
Liu Lin blushed.
Others let out a good-natured laugh.
Only Shi Dahai's face was slightly dark.
The auction continues.
Xu Qing didn't make a move again, there were two bids, but they were just a temptation, and he gave up as soon as others increased the price, for only one reason, not to make money.
Until the eldest son took out a small mirror heart of Qi Baishi.
Although it is only a small mirror heart, this is Qi Baishi's work, who is not rare?
So there was a small climax at the scene, and they rushed to see it.
But Xu Qing frowned.
Because this thing is a fake.
It's just that the imitation is more clever, and the imitation author himself and Mr. Qi Baishi are almost the same age of people, the paper, ink, mounting, shaft rod, shaft and other materials used are all of that era, very old, at a glance, it is almost exactly the same as the real one.
Even Shi Dahai's eyes widened excitedly, and he said to Xu Qing excitedly: "It's been a long time since Qi Baishi's paintings have appeared on the market, it's too rare." β
Xu Qing thought for a while, leaned into Shi Dahai's ear and whispered, "Master, you haven't thought about it, is this painting a high imitation?" β
"Huh?" Shi Dahai was stunned: "Impossible, not only the painting is good, even the paper and mounting are old, especially the mounting, which is 100% original and old-mounted, and the sense of age can't be faked." β
"Isn't it only now?"
Shi Dahai's brows locked up little by little, staring at Xu Qing: "Are you sure?" β
Xu Qing nodded: "100% is a high imitation of the same period." β
Shi Dahai asked closely: "Is there any evidence?" β
