Happy Tycoon

The most conspicuous thing in the room is a kang, which is very rare in the south in later generations, which occupies half of the room.

In fact, heated kangs are not unique to the north. As early as the Little Ice Age in the Ming Dynasty, heated kangs were very popular in the Jiangnan area, but then the heated kangs gradually became less and less.

It is not surprising that this kind of heated kang can be seen in old houses of this era.

Zhao Zheng cleaned up the things on the kang, cleared out a long space, and then put the scroll on the kang.

This painting scroll is not wide, Yang Jing is only 30 centimeters at most, but the painting scroll is a bit scary thick, obviously, the length of this painting should be astonishing.

This is an ink landscape painting drawn by the ancestors of our old Zhao family. It is more than six meters long. Zhao Zheng said, and opened the scroll very carefully, revealing the painting inside.

When the painting was just unfolded, Yang Jing only felt that Shengjie's desire was stronger. Obviously, Shengjie couldn't wait to absorb the humanistic treasure in this painting.

This painting is not drawn on paper, but on silk, but the color of this painting has turned yellow, and many places are even a little damaged.

The picture in the picture is a big river, with boats and boats passing on the river, a bustling appearance of thousands of sails racing across hundreds of boats. As the picture scroll gradually unfolded, mountains appeared on both sides of the river, and in the distance there was a tall and majestic city wall with flags flying on the city wall.

The painting is very ordinary. Yang Jing secretly thought that although he is not very proficient in calligraphy and painting, he can still tell whether a painting is good or bad.

Although the ink marks on the scroll are a little faded, and some places are even blurred, but this painting can only be said to be average, without the atmosphere and delicacy of the calligraphy and painting masters, it can only be said to be ordinary Just pass.

Big rivers, piers, boats, mountains, city walls, and crowds together constitute this six-meter-long scroll. In order for Yang Jing to see the entire scroll clearly, Zhao Zheng had to unfold it while slowly retracting it.

Looking at it, Yang Jing felt that the painting in front of him was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but gasped.

Brother Zhao, is it Jinling City that is painted in this painting? This big river is the Yangtze River? Yang Jing asked in disbelief.

Zhao Zheng carefully put away the picture scroll, nodded with a smile and said, Yes, Brother Yang, your eyesight is quite good, and you can see what is painted in this picture scroll at a glance. That's right, this painting is exactly It is Jinling City painted by my ancestors.

Hiss... Yang Jing gasped again, he really didn't expect that Jinling City was drawn in this ordinary-looking scroll.

Hehe. Zhao Zheng smiled wryly, I guess you can see it, this painting is just average! But brother Yang, to tell you the truth, this painting is an old painting preserved by our old Zhao family for more than 800 years. It has been painted, and it has always been a family heirloom of our old Zhao family. If my father hadn’t been seriously ill this time, he really had no money for medical treatment, and my mother would not have allowed me to take out this painting to sell. During the turmoil, I hid this painting on the beam of the house so that it was not searched by those guys, and it turned out to be hidden forever, and it was inevitable that it would be sold in the end.

More than eight hundred years? Yang Jing was shocked, Doesn't that mean that this painting is from the Song Dynasty?

Well, if my father didn't lie to me, this painting was indeed painted by an ancestor of our Zhao family at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been passed down for dozens of generations. Although the words are ordinary, it is displayed here these days , is it considered a cultural relic anyway? If it weren't for my father's illness, I wouldn't be willing to sell this painting.

After a pause, Zhao Zheng said again: I have placed this painting on the stall for several days. There are many people asking, but none of them really want to buy it. It may be that my asking price is too high, and there is no one now. People can afford it.

Brother Zhao, how much do you plan to sell this painting? If the price is right, I want to buy it. To tell you the truth, my grandfather grew up by the Yangtze River since he was a child, and he especially likes landscape paintings. If you can see this painting, you will definitely like it very much.”

Zhao Zheng looked at Yang Jing and found that Yang Jing seemed to be quite serious, so he hesitated and said: This painting is definitely an old painting that our old Zhao family has preserved for dozens of generations, and such a long scroll, even if it is It should be rare now, so.

Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and said, I'm going to sell this painting for 10,000 yuan! If it's less than this amount, I'd rather not sell it.

As soon as the number was exported, Yang Jing secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, in this era when households with ten thousand yuan are still extremely rare, ten thousand yuan is definitely an astronomical price. No wonder Zhao Zheng put this painting on display for several days, but no one bought it. This price is not good to say, and it is far from enough to describe it as a lion with a big mouth. This price is simply unknown for this painting in this era!

Another thing is that this painting can only be regarded as ordinary, and there is no inscription or seal, so I don't know who painted it at all. To make ordinary people believe that this is a silk copy handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that even the masters of calligraphy and painting in the Palace Museum or Nanbo will not believe it.

Calligraphy and painting are different from most antiques. Forgery of calligraphy and painting has long existed. Even some masters in the early years copied ancient paintings.

Among them, Mr. Daqian is one of the leaders.

This painting does not have any inscriptions and seals that can be studied. In addition, the painting is indeed very ordinary, unlike everyone's works. It is really hard to believe that it is so close just because of the years. A silk copy that has been preserved since the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in this day and age, if his painting can be sold, it will be called a ghost!

But to Yang Jing, this number is nothing. Now in Yang Jing's storage space, there is still the third set of 200,000 national currency. This is the last time when Yang Jing went to Yanjing in 1982, not only did he see the set that Mike Aller bought. In Haisiheyuan, I also admired the old objects purchased by Pete Wu. Before leaving, he asked Pete Wu to exchange 200,000 yuan from the bank for the third set of national currency, a total of 20 stacks of 10 yuan. Unity is lying quietly in the space.

The most important thing is, put the authenticity of this painting aside first, and Chong Shengjie has such a strong reaction to this painting, let alone 10,000, even if Zhao Zheng wants 1 million, Yang Jing will On the second day, I brought him one million to buy the painting.

The big deal is to use the restricted time travel skill overnight, travel to Yanjing in 1982, find Pete Wu, and ask him to exchange another one million third set of national currency from the bank.

In this time and space, Yang Jing is very rich!

Now, Zhao Zheng only needs 10,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly good news for Yang Jing.

Brother Zhao, to tell you the truth, I can afford your price, but I need time to get the money. I just came to the black market today, so it's impossible to bring so much money with me.

Ah?! Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment. In fact, when he said the number just now, he had been worried about being rejected.

In the past four or five days, Zhao Zheng has been rejected and has no confidence. As a result, Yang Jing suddenly said acceptable, which immediately made Zhao Zheng feel a little bit like fire and ice.

Zhao Zheng grabbed Yang Jing's hands excitedly, and asked a little tremblingly, Brother? You, can you really use it? Buy this painting from my family for 10,000 yuan?

Yang Jing nodded with certainty.

Zhao Zheng immediately let go of Yang Jing's hand, and ran to another room in a hurry, and then Yang Jing heard a burst of excited cheers coming from that room.

Not long after, Zhao Zheng's mother walked in with Zhao Zheng. When the old woman saw Yang Jing, she was about to kneel down to Yang Jing. She was so frightened that Yang Jing hurriedly supported the old lady.

Mother, please don't do this, if you do, I will leave! Yang Jing threatened.

Okay, okay! It's my old lady who is being rude. Eldest nephew, can you really buy this painting? For this money.

Well! Ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely buy this painting. My family has some connections with Taiwan Island. After the central government issued the Message to Compatriots on Taiwan Island two years ago, the mainland and Taiwan Island After the three links were restored, the family got in touch with relatives on Taiwan Island, so now the family still has some money. Yang Jing had to find such a reason.

Although the three links between the two sides of the strait were resumed in October 1981, at this time, many Taiwan compatriots had already contacted their relatives in China, and some Taiwan compatriots even came to the mainland via Hong Kong Island. Looking for long lost relatives.

Yang Jing said that he has relatives on Taiwan Island, which means a lot of money in this day and age.

Hearing what Yang Jing said, the old lady was completely relieved, took Yang Jing's hand and said, Nephew, it's really a loss to you! My old man found out some time ago that hepatic ascites was in the early stage. If you don't If you hurry up and get treatment, this person won't be able to stare at him for long. But with the current situation at home, how can there be money for treatment! Although this painting is a family heirloom handed down by my old man, how can I care about it at this time? Go to that one? Do you think so?

Yang Jing smiled and said: Mother, what you said is very correct. Human life is at stake. It is the original story to treat the disease and save the talents first. Only then did Yang Jing know that Zhao Zheng's father had liver ascites.

This disease is not a joke. It is called terminal disease that is not terminally ill. Even in the 21st century, it is basically a disease that cannot be cured. Once this disease reaches the advanced stage, you should eat what you should eat and play what you should have. Don't treat it, it's a waste of money. But Zhao Zheng's father is currently in the early stage of liver ascites, if he can be treated properly, it will not be a problem to live another ten or eight years. But this money is indispensable, no wonder Zhao Zheng paid 10,000 yuan when he opened his mouth.

There were tears in Zhao Zheng's mother's eyes, Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, my family would guard this heirloom empty-handedly, what's the use if it can't save my old man's life?

Zhao Zheng also said on the side: Brother Yang, I won't say thank you. In the future, as long as you can use my Zhao Zheng, you can just speak.

Yang Jing nodded and said, Brother Zhao, it's still early, I'll go home and get the money after a while.

Isn't your grandfather's house in Jiangning? It's still far from here. Zhao Zheng said. This era is no worse than later generations with private cars flying all over the sky. In this era, more than thirty miles is considered a long distance.

Yang Jing smiled and said, No problem, it takes half an hour to take a long-distance bus. I'll leave in a while, and I'll be back at noon.

Saying so, Yang Jing walked up to the picture scroll, and gently stroked the picture scroll with his left hand, but the answer given by the holy ring made Yang Jing's brain almost crash.
