After the New Year, Li Xiaoqing's yard was much more lively, this Zhang Yanzi and Zhang Zhen also moved to Li Xiaoqing's compound, this New Year, this Zhang Zhen officially retired, this person has a lot of things to do when he is free, this big brother loves to raise birds, but there is no place outside the small second floor of his own house, and it is not as spacious as this Li Xiaoqing's courtyard.
And Li Xiaoqing also planted a lot of trees in this small courtyard, the environment is really good, plus there is a large array of vitality in this courtyard, so that the aura in the yard is very sufficient, so this Zhang Zhen simply moved to Li Xiaoqing's side to live.
As soon as the New Year passed, Li Xiaoqing was dragged to a private exhibition by his second senior brother Jiang Ming, which was not so much a private exhibition, but in fact, this was a small auction held privately in an antique circle. Li Xiaoqing was found out by Jiang Ming early in the morning, this Gu Anshan saw Li Xiaoqing, smiled slightly and gave Li Xiaoqing a junior salute, Li Xiaoqing saw this, hurriedly dodged away, and let a person who was about the same as his own cultivation, but much older than himself, give him a junior salute, he couldn't afford it.
"Brother Gu, let's not just meet like this, I can't stand it!"
"Xiaoqing, it's useless for you to say it, Ansan is such a rigid person, he can't change it!" Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"Second Senior Brother, where are we going later?" asked Li Xiaoqing.
The second senior brother sat in a wheelchair, stroked his beard and said, "Later, you will follow me, those people in that place are all above the top, if you are left out in the cold, don't lose your temper." ”
"Second Senior Brother, although I am a martial arts practitioner, my temper is very good. Li Xiaoqing pushed the second senior brother's wheelchair and pushed it to the car.
The car drove from Yanjing for about an hour, and came to the outskirts of the city, Li Xiaoqing only saw a huge resort when he got off the car, all the luxury cars parked outside the resort, vehicles in this era are not as popular as now, Li Xiaoqing knows not many license plates themselves, and these are rare cars on the market, he knows the Santana and Jiang Ming's Mercedes-Benz car bought by Dianpeng, and the red flag car that the state gave Zhang Zhen is in addition.
"Brother Jiang is here?, what good things did you bring this time? You took more than 300,000 yuan of the ancient painting last time, what treasure did you bring this time?" Jiang Ming was surrounded as soon as he got out of the car, and a large group of people came to talk to Jiang Ming, and from time to time they also asked about this Li Xiaoqing, and chatted with him about a few words.
However, this Li Xiaoqing is a little depressed, and there is a perfunctory look in the eyes of these people, if it weren't for Jiang Ming's face, I'm afraid that Li Xiaoqing wouldn't have time to deal with these guys. But this social reality is like this, those people also take care of Li Xiaoqing for the sake of Jiang Ming's face, he is such a young man who has just entered the industry, he wants qualifications, no qualifications, family background, no family background, although Li Xiaoqing looks to have a good relationship with this Jiang Ming, but even Jiang Ming is only the older generation knows him, plus this Jiang Ming is Taiwanese, and he is not welcomed in this world, so he has no connections.
This kind of thing is quite common in life and society, especially in a humane society like China, and some things can be done by anyone, maybe because you are young, people don't worry about handing things over to you, maybe because you have little social experience, people don't look down on you, maybe because your family background is not good, people look down on you. Li Xiaoqing had seen a lot of this kind of thing when he and Hui Laodao went to the rivers and lakes before, and at this time, when he saw these people talking hypocritically, he also chatted with them very freely and naturally.
But as soon as people spoke, the time passed quickly, and after a while, the people in the auction exchange hall gathered, and everyone found their own places to sit down, and Li Xiaoqing chatted casually next to Gu Anshan and Jiang Ming.
I heard a very soft music on the stage, and a man dressed very formally walked up to the auction table and said, "Dear friends, hello everyone, welcome to this auction, I am the auctioneer of this field, Duan Hong, my registration certificate number is XXXX, I am very happy to serve you today, I hope you can buy the treasures you like today, and return with pleasure." After this macro finished speaking, someone below began to shout, "Xiao Duan, you hurry up and get on things, we are all acquaintances, I heard that there is a seal of Lord Qianlong today?"
"Brother Liu, what this thing is used for the finale today is indeed the seal of this Qianlong Ye, but this seal is not an ordinary treasure, I will not talk about it for the time being, hang everyone's appetite, and I will know it when I meet everyone. After saying that, this Hong took the microphone and asked for the first treasure, this is a Qing Dynasty inkstone, the texture is good, because the people present today are insiders, Duan Hong doesn't need to be introduced, he finished talking about the starting price, this person who likes this thing, directly began to quote, this first treasure bought 10,000 yuan, which is quite good.
The next things are also treasures that can be seen on the market, but the starting price is far lower than the price on the market, and Jiang Ming can't bear to make a few shots, and spent 10,000 yuan to buy a set of rice paper at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which is only about half a knife, that is, only fifty pieces of paper. As the saying goes, "If you have money, don't buy gold, buy more Jiangdong paper", which many people like to keep the former rice paper. This Jiang Ming bought paper made by the Korean Koreans, the old man usually likes to write and paint, he is going to keep this paper for himself, but he doesn't know that in the future, a few pieces of rice paper from the Republic of China will be more than 10,000. Needless to say, the Republic of China is the eighties and nineties with better texture, and the rice paper can be bought for 18,000 with one knife.
Next is some porcelain and jade, the price is naturally more expensive than the previous few things, Li Xiaoqing is not going to buy anything, because he buys some magic weapons in the store, and ordinary jade materials are fine, he doesn't need to buy those expensive jade materials, but this old man Jiang Ming bought a lot of jade materials for this Li Xiaoqing out of his own pocket.
"Second Senior Brother, what are you doing here?" Li Xiaoqing took the thirty-six pieces of jade in this box.
"Although you buy magic weapons in your store, how can that ordinary jade material compare to this ancient jade? The people who buy your things don't pay attention to the texture of your jade material when they see you, and you change it to a better jade material, which will naturally make people pay more attention to it." Jiang Ming said meaningfully, but Li Xiaoqing understood what Jiang Ming meant, it was nothing more than that the price offered by the customer for Gu Yu could be higher.
When the next item was brought up, this Li Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, in front of this macro was a yellow satin robe from the late Qing Dynasty, this macro introduced while talking about the texture of this robe, Li Xiaoqing looked at this robe but made up his mind to take this robe. For nothing else, he felt an inexplicable energy from this robe, and this energy he felt like he had seen before.
"This robe was collected by an old flag man whose family was declining, and the price started at 10,000 yuan. ”
"I look at this yellow satin robe for no more than a hundred years, and he is embarrassed to say that it is from the late Qing Dynasty?, Brother Duan, are you being deceived?"
"I don't think it's been 50 years. Another man took the yellow satin in his hand and watched.
"This texture is really good, the material is good, the craftsmanship is good, I like it a lot, fifteen thousand. A big chubby man said.
"Fifteen thousand, Huang Lao Er, although you believe in Tibetan Buddhism, it's not worth spending so much money to buy this thing!" The person who spoke, Li Xiaoqing, knew Feng Liankui, the old shopkeeper of the North Shop.
"What's not worth it? This robe is pleasing to the eye, and when I see him, I think it's spiritual. "This Boss Huang said that he was going to pay for this thing.
"I'll give 30,000. Li Xiaoqing also nodded apologetically to Boss Huang.
"Little brother also likes this thing? This thing is naturally the one with the highest price, it's nothing, I'll pay 50,000 yuan." "This Huang Boss is a native of Liaoxi, and there are many Tibetan Buddhist temples in Liaoning, so this Huang Boss has believed in this Tibetan Buddhism since he was a child, and the personality of people who believe in Tibetan Buddhism is generally very free and easy, and everything can be seen, Li Xiaoqing said 30,000, and this boss directly added 50,000.
Li Xiaoqing smiled helplessly and said: Sixty thousand.
"I'll pay 70,000, young man, we can't be rash in this business. This Boss Huang was a little annoyed at this time, after all, he looked at this thing and liked it inexplicably, and he didn't think that others felt the same way as him.
"Boss Huang, I just feel that this thing is good, I guess there are many people who know what my store sells, and this robe has some mana, so I am willing to pay a high price. I'm sorry Boss Huang, ninety thousand!" After Li Xiaoqing finished speaking, everyone was stunned, this Boss Huang snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Well, then this treasure belongs to this young man, little brother is bold, this robe has an owner. But the next is our last baby, some people heard that this is the jade seal of the Qianlong Lord, and everyone knows that among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Lord's seal is the least valuable, but this jade seal is used by the Qianlong Lord when he was eighty years old, and everyone must guess what it is. This macro said that it is actually one-sided, but in history, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was good at books, paintings, seals, and seals, and he reigned for more than 60 years, so that the Inner Court Office made more than 1,800 square seals. The number is more than the other emperors combined, so there is naturally a small gap in this price.
As soon as this Honghong lifted the red cloth, a cyan jade seal appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim. On this table is Qianlong's "Eight Signs of Remembrance Treasure" Hetian Qingyu Seal, which was made to celebrate Qianlong's 80th birthday during his reign of 55 years. It belongs to the larger side of the same printed jade seal, which is quite rare in any way. Everyone also knows that the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty was the heyday of jade production, and the selection of materials for the royal jade production was extremely particular.
And this "treasure of the eight signs", the seal inscription of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the "eight signs" is the ancient Chinese thinker Liezi said "therefore, for, gain, mourning, mourning, happiness, life, death", covering everything in life, the meaning is extraordinary.
Li Xiaoqing looked at this jade seal, he knew the origin of this thing, but he didn't know the experience of this thing, this Jiang Ming said to him close to his ear, "The descendants of the Qing Emperor are not angry, I don't know what year and month this thing went to other places, but I know that in 1970, this jade seal was sold once in Paris, and now I don't know if this piece is true or false." ”
At this time, everyone took a magnifying glass to look around the jade seal, and Li Xiaoqing left after a glance, and Jiang Ming also went over to take a look at the jade seal, and also frowned slightly, and also left with Gu Anshan.
"Second Senior Brother, this person who opened the auction is so calculating, the first few put real things, and in the end, they fooled us with a fake one. Li Xiaoqing said helplessly.
"Didn't you see it, junior brother, you haven't been in the industry for long before you can distinguish the authenticity of this jade?"
"Second senior brother, don't laugh at me, I stayed in the Forbidden City, the things used by the emperor are somewhat imperial, Qianlong is the emperor, he has been in power for a long time, and this jade seal is used personally, how can it not be imperial?" Li Xiaoqing squinted his eyes and said.
"That's how you kid saw it?"
"Oh, how did you see that, senior brother?"
The old man pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, the jade used to make the emperor's jade seal, needless to say, is the best jade, and the finished product is regular, almost glutenless, willowless, and flawless." In order to ensure the good workmanship of jade and the pursuit of exquisiteness, the ratio of cutting materials and jade seals is very low, resulting in a great waste of raw materials, in order to select pure materials. And this piece of green jade seal jade is dull and unnatural dull, I walked over and found that the jade seal seems to be soaked in stains of oil, and I see a turbid breath in my eyes. Moreover, the color is too tender, the dryness is pressing, and there is no color and pulp that has gone through more than 200 years, which is obviously old. ”
This Jiang Ming's very disgusted expression made Li Xiaoqing laugh, and gave a thumbs up to the second senior brother.
