Sanzang took the calligraphy and painting box and didn't rush to open it, looked at it carefully, nodded, it's a little old,

It's a caring person, it's not badly preserved, put things on the coffee table, and hurriedly went out to wash his hands.

"Brother Ji! What is he? Ji Chengfo's friend looked at Sanzang puzzled.

"I've washed my hands, I don't even understand this rule, is this painting yours?"

"Hehe, the old man in the family left behind, and the things bought for a few dollars are still used as a treasure, and he said 'Qi Baishi in the north, Huang Binhong in the south', and told me to keep it well.

You say that the ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are still worth a little money, even if they are from the Qing Dynasty, you look at the famous painters of modern times, and the ones that should be famous are also famous.

More than 30 years have passed, and now Qi Lao's paintings are only sold for 30 yuan a square foot. ”

"This ...... I don't have much research on modern paintings, and I can't understand them.

There is still a little research on ancient paintings, and I think the old man should still have some sense! Ji Chengfo's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Hehe, Brother Ji, I'm afraid you won't believe it yourself! By the way, Brother Ji, I heard that you have a relationship with the third master, how much money is appropriate for me to draw? ”

"This ...... I can't say it, when the time comes, you will sell low, and you will be angry with me, can we two friends do it? Ji Chengfo shook his head,

He won't thank himself when the price is high, and he will blame himself when the price is low, so he won't be stupid enough to come up with such a thankless idea.

"I'm definitely not such a person, but your concerns are also reasonable, so can you help me analyze why the third master likes to buy Huang Lao's paintings?

This shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

"I think the third master didn't buy Huang Lao's paintings for any collection, but just to like it." Ji Chengfo didn't quite understand it.

"Why?"

"The third master is a great intellectual, the deputy director of the university library, a cultural person, I like this tune. There are too many such examples in history. ”

"Well, that makes sense! It seems that the price can't be too high, in case the third master thinks I take him for a fool, it's not good.

My old man always said that 'there is Qi Baishi in the north and Huang Binhong in the south', then I will come at the price of Qi Lao, and if it doesn't work, the price will be reduced. ”

"My dear, you're too dark! That's more than 4 times the market price. Okay, I'm just talking about it, you can make up your own mind. Ji Chengfo shook his head and said nothing.

"Hey, hey!"

Sanzang went to the tap and washed his hands with soap, thought about it, and went back to the bedroom to get Jingru's thin gloves and put them on.

"I've kept the two little brothers waiting, let's start now!" Sanzang returned to the living room and arched his hand.

"Hey, hey! No hurry, no hurry! "Ji Chengfo's friend feels very face-saving.

Sanzang carefully opened the calligraphy and painting box, slowly spread out the paintings, first look at the payment, there are the word "Binhong" and the seal, in the heart of the conversion of "Ji Chou" year, is 1925, the inscription has the words "Yun Gui Tang".

Looking at the painting carefully, the unity of fiction and reality, complexity and simplicity, and sparseness in the chapter; With the pen such as the seal, strong and powerful, in the line of the pen is strict, there is the interest of vertical and horizontal cliffs.

Sanzang nodded, this is a typical "Bai Binhong", deeply influenced by the sparse and elegant painting style of the Xin'an School.

"I want this painting, you can make a price, I don't bargain, but you can only make a price once." Sanzang said to Ji Chengbud's friend.

"This ......" he understood what Sanzang meant, he didn't bargain, if it was a lion who opened his mouth, he wouldn't buy it,

gritted his teeth, but still insisted on believing in his old man, "30 yuan a square foot, the same price as Qi Lao." ”

"Hmm...... Deal! Sanzang groaned slightly, agreed, and was happy in his heart, the two looked at each other, and the words "wronged" came to their minds.

"I'll take a ruler and measure it." Sanzang took out a tailor's tape measure from the draw on the table and measured it, "It's 113 centimeters long and 35 centimeters wide, no opinion, right?" ”

"Nope."

"Well, I'll take a pen and do the math." Sanzang took out a pen and paper from the draw again, "Well, it's 3.566 square feet, rounded to 3.57 square feet, how about it?" ”

"The third master is angry!"

"It's a total of 107 yuan and 1 cent, no problem!"

"No, it's exactly the same as I do at home."

Sanzang nodded, "Yes!" You're a connoisseur, too! ”

"Hey, hey!" Of course, he won't tell Sanzang the real situation.

"Okay! I'm going to get you the money, and I'll take the things first, no problem! Sanzang was also afraid that he would leave, and the two of them would drop their bags, so there was nothing wrong with being careful.

"No problem, the third master, please."

Sanzang handed the counted money to Ji Chengfo's friend, "Do you know the rules of this industry?" ”

"Understood! After the transaction, it will not be refunded or exchanged. ”

"Okay, just understand." After Sanzang finished speaking, he handed Ji Chengfo 10 yuan.

"Third master, who are you?" Ji Chengfo looked confused.

"Take it, this is my own new rule, and I hope you will bring more friends in the future."

"Okay!" Ji Chengfo is not hypocritical, he took it, and it is an unspoken rule that the middleman charges a 10% commission, which is generally given by the seller, and now it is a new thing to turn around and give it.

"Then the third master, let's leave first." Ji Chengfo arched his hand.

"Okay, I'll come over for tea when I have time."

"Understood!"

Sanzang sent the two to the door of the room and watched them leave, when Jingru came over,

"Husband, what are the two of them doing?"

"Oh, the painter!"

"You've bought so many paintings, and you're still buying them?"

"Anyway, our family's money can't be spent for the time being, just buy some, in case there are any ups and downs in Tiance and Xuance in the future, we can also rely on it to tide over the difficulties."

"You think these paintings will really fetch a lot of money in the future?"

"When did my husband miscalculate."

"That's right, what do you want to eat at night? I told Xiaomei to prepare. ”

"I'm not going to eat at home tonight, I'm going to Fengze Garden to invite the Stick Terrier and his group of friends to dinner, and thank them for doing things for me."

"Oh!"

"Where's Xiaodang?"

"Reading in Xiaoxi's study!"

"Okay! I'm going to find her. You go and call the kids out to the yard to play badminton or something.

Athletic exercise, it's half of the afternoon now, and the sun isn't that big. Can't stay in the room all day blowing air conditioning. ”

"Huh! I'll go! ”

Sanzang walked into his eldest daughter's study, "It's half an afternoon, let's go out and exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest." ”

"Huh!"

"Small, wait a minute."

"Little uncle, what's the matter?"

"You prepare for the next two days, and in a few days I will send you to school in Hong Kong City, so that you can go over in advance to get used to it."

"Ah, isn't there more than ten days left until the start of school in September?"

"I'm reluctant to go, it's okay, then stay at home for a few more days. But you're definitely going to have to leave 3 or 5 days early, and I'll be busy by the end of August. ”

"That's not it, I understand, I'll go discuss it with my mother."

"Okay, let's play!"

At this time, Ji Chengfo and his friends left the courtyard of Sanzang,

"Brother Ji, the third master is so bold, he really agreed to this outrageous price, the world of rich people really can't understand.

I guess he's also looking at your face, so tonight, I'll sit in the east, and let's go to the gathering of friends in Shishahai for a meal. ”

"Okay! You've made a lot of money today, so I'm not going to be polite to you. Ji Chengfo is also happy to have his friends think so,

At the same time, I was thinking about the intention of Sanzang, is it just to satisfy my personal hobbies?

He's a very smart person, and if he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, but he can follow the trend, isn't there such a saying?

"Flies attach to their tails and lead thousands of miles", it's always right to follow the big guys, and I will collect two pairs when I go back.

Later, Ji Chengfo thanked Sanzang for a lifetime, which Sanzang did not expect.
