Chapter 68: So Powerful
Walking across the covered bridge, you can see the whole Mandarin Duck Lake, there are several small buildings of brick or wood standing in the center of the lake, the blue and gray bucket arches, the old eaves, the water droplets are like pearls, and the drops are rolling down.
Most of these have a history of more than 100 years, and are known as the "first teahouse on the sea" of the old Shanghai teahouse, also known as the "Huxin Pavilion teahouse".
Crossing the threshold, the orange light is slightly dimmed, and the song of "Night Fragrance" lingers in my ears, and a nostalgic smell comes to my face. A square table with red lacquer, a thermos made of bamboo skin, a vertical telephone, and a dresser with red plums painted on it......
There are two bookcases standing on the wall, which are full of dazzling displays: newspapers of the late Qing Dynasty, biscuit bags from the Beiyang period, cigarette boxes and advertising paintings from the Republic of China, as well as calligraphy, paintings, and novel manuscripts of many famous artists.
In a trance, it seems to have returned to the era of surging and talents.
Lan Huazhi looked around curiously: "You are here, the manuscript of Zhang Ailing that you found?" ”
"Yes!" Li Dingan pointed to the cabinet with newspapers with emotion: "At that time, it was placed there!" ”
At that time, he really just had the mentality of trying his luck and hitting a shot first with dates.
But after visiting the City God Temple, I found several places selling antiques and cultural toys, but there was no place where Boss Zhao said "specializing in collecting famous calligraphy, paintings, and manuscripts".
Later, I asked a local old man in Shanghai, and I learned that several teahouses in Yuanyang Lake collect and sell old objects, and every family calls it a cultural store, but only after the late Qing Dynasty, so it is not very famous.
I went to Wen Xinyuan first, then to Wan Zaixuan, and then to Bo Dui Zhai, and I came across a lot of famous works, such as Liu Jieyu's paintings, Zhu Ranchen's characters, and the manuscripts of novels by Shushisheng on the sea, etc.
But the asking price is not low.
It wasn't until I came to the proud building that I saw Zhang Ailing's "Lust, Caution".
It's just casually arranged...... It's not that it's poorly preserved, but it's almost no anti-theft measures, and it's displayed with a pile of biscuit bags, cigarette cases, and newspapers.
At that time, I asked the boss what it was, and the boss said that it was a letter in English, but as for whose it was, I don't know.
Ask how much again, it's not expensive, 1000.
The systematic estimate is 3.5 million yuan, but He Anbang said that although many of Zhang Ailing's manuscripts have been handed down, most of them are in Chinese characters, and very few are in English. So if it is auctioned, it will be at least more than five million.
It's a pity that a good auction has made myself dry......
Li Dingan sighed, opened his satchel, and took out two envelopes.
Fortunately, except for him, they are all laymen. If Wu Xiang or He Anbang were here, seeing him so casually, it is estimated that he would be able to scold him for being bloody.
Opening the envelope, Li Ding'an took out the stationery inside and spread it on the table: one was only two pages, and the other was more than a dozen, the former was in small letters, and the latter was in English.
These two are both extremely outstanding female writers in modern times, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come across one of them's autographed works, but Li Ding'an came across two more precious codexes on the same day?
The price is even more ridiculously low, Lin Huiyin's codex is equal to giving it away for free, and Zhang Ailing's manuscript only cost a thousand.
No matter how you think about it, it feels incredible.
Lan Huazhi and Yu Huiyin both studied literature and were both women, so they naturally couldn't put down these two manuscripts. Especially Yu Huiyin, not only has the name like, but also regards Lin Hui as an idol, so he likes it to the extreme.
She gently stroked the edge of the letter, not even daring to touch the words on it, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Like it?"
She nodded slightly: "Hmm! ”
"It's a pity that I have promised Professor Wu, but it doesn't matter, next time I meet it, I will definitely give it to you!" Li Ding'an's tone was very ordinary, "Don't worry, you will run into it!" ”
Yu Huiyin paused and grinned: "Okay!" ”
Lei Mingzhen has a tactical back:!
This is Lin Huiyin's codex, tens of millions of things, but in Li Ding'an's mouth, it is like Chinese cabbage?
The key thing is that this is clearly a blank check, Yu Huiyin seems to really believe it?
Li Qiangqiang can, why didn't you see it before?
Lan Huazhi glared at him: "What kind of nerves are you?" ”
Lei Mingzhen didn't speak, just pouted. Lan Huazhi kicked him, then turned and walked out.
Sister, it's always been someone else who takes care of me, and Lao Tzu also has a time when he is a light cannon?
He reluctantly followed.
……
The room was very quiet, Li Dingan sat silently on the side, Yu Huiyin read it word by word, and took dozens of photos after reading it.
It took almost half an hour for her to stop and wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Li Ding'an poured her a glass of water, and hesitated again, "Take the liberty of asking, uncle and aunt, what do you do?" ”
It really didn't mean anything else, Li Dingan was purely curious.
Jiang Xiuying mentioned it before, saying that she worked in the Oriental Pearl, but there were not thirty units in the Oriental Pearl, but there were twenty of them......
"Dad used to be in a state-owned enterprise, and then he was transferred to a central enterprise. Mom in Oriental Media ......"
Yu Huiyin raised his head and looked at Li Ding'an, "My grandfather used to be in business, my mother is an only daughter, and I am also a ......."
Li Dingan was stunned for a long time.
This family ...... Isn't it easy?
But if you want to say what's wrong, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.
Her parents are indeed in the system, and the family does have money, but this money is the inheritance of the previous generation......
He was sighing when the phone rang again.
It's He Anbang, I really can't stand the chatter!
"You prepare, tomorrow at the latest, send the two codexes to Su Fubi, or this weekend, on the auction!"
"Isn't it yellow?"
"Hehe, you underestimate the power of capital too much!"
I'm going, is it so powerful?
