Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"The reason you see the phoenix on the surface is so lifelike is because it is not painted on, but is made through the unique process of paper-cut decals, pasted on the tire, and then glazed."

"After the glaze is applied, the paper-cut is torn off to reveal the bottom of the tire. Finally, the craftsmen modify the patterns, feathers and other parts. After firing, this layered feeling with obvious black and white contrast is formed, which has a special texture. decorative effect.”

After saying that, Lin Ran turned the plum vase over.

"The two birds above are phoenix and phoenix. They are courting normally."

"This is a particularly meaningful plum vase, which should have been produced in Jizhoujiao during the Southern Song Dynasty."

After Lin Ran explained, Ke Liang was stunned for a moment.

Then, the boss suddenly applauded: "As expected of Mr. Lin! What he said is so detailed, I learned a lesson!"

Ke Liang was also a little confused, but he still clapped his hands.

Then he asked: "Master Lin, do you think this plum vase is valuable?"

Lin Ran's expression was very calm and indifferent, as if he didn't hear the applause or questions.

He recalled in his mind that around 07, a domestic auction house auctioned an engraved plum vase produced by Jizhoujiao.

Converted to the current exchange rate, it can be sold for at least 2000 yuan.

It can only be said that there are very few official kiln porcelains from the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is normal for the premium to be high.

He gave his estimate.

Ke Liang was overjoyed, and his boss was also dumbfounded.

But this batch of goods was only placed in his store by the Ke family. It would be great if it was his goods.

"Boss, help me load the goods." Ke Liang immediately ordered the boss.

Of course, Lin Ran didn't think this cultural relic was very special, at least it didn't meet his own collection standards.

He turned his attention to a file bag next to him.

Is this also an antique?

Lin Ran rarely saw antiques placed in yellow document bags, usually just relatively small objects.

Such as copper coins and the like.

He picked up the document bag and some worn printing paper fell out of it.

scattered all over the place.

Ke Liang suddenly became unhappy and asked, "Boss, what's going on?"

The boss hurriedly explained: "I don't know. I haven't touched your goods since they were delivered."

He quickly shied away the responsibility and put all the blame on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran frowned, squatted down, and picked up all the worn printing papers.

It's not common printing paper, but yellowed paper.

The pages are filled with incomprehensible words and drawing lines.

Ke Liang frowned and said, "My father probably made a mistake. Don't worry about this cultural relic. Let's look at the next one."

Lin Ran ignored him and placed the yellow paper on the table.

After adjusting the order several times, his eyes were touched.

Seeing Lin Ran's curious look, Ke Liang was also a little confused and leaned over.

But he looked at it for a long time and saw no clues. He just felt strange that his father was also an experienced antique seller. How could he buy such a crappy thing?

Can this thing really be called an antique?

Worthless except that it is older.

He was a little unhappy. After all, he was a businessman who valued efficiency. He was not willing to spend time on something of unknown origin.

With a disdainful expression, he patted Lin Ran on the shoulder: "Master Lin, I know you are capable, but I hope you can spend your time identifying valuable cultural relics."

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Value, this is a valuable cultural relic."

Ke Liang still had a disdainful expression.

However, Jiang Li stood up suddenly.

He came to Lin Ran and glanced at the pieces of paper he had laid out.

In an instant, her face turned pale, and her face showed an expression of extreme astonishment.

"Lin Ran...could this be it?"

The boss and Ke Liang looked at each other, but they didn't see anything special at all.

But Ke Liang was embarrassed to ask, so the boss asked tremblingly: "Miss Jiang, is there anything special about these pieces of paper?"

Lin Ran finally spoke.

As if by magic, he changed the order of the pieces of paper and rejoined them, just like a puzzle.

"Is there still a table?" There is simply no room for so many drawings on one table.

Without thinking, the boss pulled another table over.

Lin Ran put the puzzle pieces together.

Two tables were not enough, so Jiang Li and Guan Yun brought in two more tables.

Putting four tables together is just enough to complete this complete painting.

After finishing the puzzle, they realized that the picture was so big that it completely filled four tables.

Moreover, the previously unclear drawing lines have now become a complete painting.

Lin Ran spread out the complete painting and smiled.

"This painting may be the most valuable collection!" He was sweating profusely as he put together the puzzle. In order to prevent sweat from dripping onto the painting, he took a few steps back.

Finally, a complete picture was pieced together.

This is a calligraphy and painting.

It looked extremely simple, but they still didn't see the mystery inside.

Lin Ran was about to start explaining.

Jiang Li had already spoken: "I didn't expect that this painting would appear in the capital."

"Ms. Jiang, what is this?" The boss also knew that Ke Liang would definitely not ask, so he took the initiative to ask for advice humbly.

Lin Ran replied: "Yes, Wang Wei's "Wangchuan Picture", and it is an extremely rare rubbing! Judging from the paper, it should be the most original rubbing."

Although Ke Liang didn't understand, he was engaged in the antique business after all.

Hearing the word Wang Wei, he already knew its value.

I was stunned for a moment.

"If it is really the original rubbing, it would be a national treasure."

Jiang Li also looked a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that I would actually come at the right time today.

The boss was confused: "Wangchuan Picture?"

Wangchuan painting is actually a traditional landscape painting.

In the painting, surrounded by mountains, undulating rivers and rocks, and the image of a peaceful cabin in the forest emerges vividly on the page.

Outside the hut, a boatman was punting his boat and it looked extremely quiet.

It is a pity that the original work has been lost, and the ones that have been handed down to the world are all rubbings from various periods.

The earliest among them is the rubbings from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although they are only rubbings, the leisurely atmosphere of the scrolls still gives them a high visual impact.

Ke Liang sighed slightly.

"Wang Wei's works are indeed valuable, but rubbings are not favored by the collection market. Ordinary collectors are usually not interested in rubbings."

"If you don't mind, you can sell it to me." Jiang Li said.

Are you worried that no one will take over such a precious rubbing?

Even if you collect it yourself and pass it on to your descendants, it is still a rare treasure.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Yes, if Mr. Ke doesn't want it, Lin is willing to buy it at a high price."

Seeing how he didn't want it, Lin Ran couldn't get it.

If Jiang Li hadn't been so talkative, he wouldn't have even wanted Ke Liang to know the value of this painting.
