A legendary happy life

Here, Xu Nanyu packed her books, took a car and drove straight. Facing the vast villa area in front of her, she was speechless. The car drove straight forward and stopped at the innermost door.

The driver also sighed: "Little brother, who did you find? It's such a good place to live."

"I'm not so sure either."

"Yo, if you don't know, just look for it? The further inward this area is, the better, and the land price is also the most expensive, so don't make a mistake."

He paid the fare and smiled, holding his things and ringing the doorbell.

"Please come in." The old lady who answered the door was already waiting, and led Xu Nanyu to the living room.

Mr. Li was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and he was walking smoothly and smoothly with Kung Fu tea in his hand, which was extremely elegant.

"Sir."

"Here you come? Sit down and have a cup of tea first." Xu Nanyu got up quickly to express her flattery by personally ironing the cup and pouring the tea.

Tian Dahai's eyes flashed wildly behind him. You must know that Mr. Li's vanity in making tea is not even blessed by his exiled son.

Holding the teacup in both hands, sitting on half of the buttocks, with a straight waist, acting like a student.A small cup of tea was tasted in several mouthfuls, and the eloquence was fragrant, the ears were windy, and he smiled lightly: "You are lucky."

To say that the tea is good is vulgar, and to say that the tea is made well is a bit flattering, and simply saying "lucky" includes everything that is flattering.

"You boy." Seeing through his thoughts, Mr. Li stretched out his hand and poured him another cup, two cups of tea.

Xu Nanyu took the initiative to untie the cloth bag, took out the most valuable book, and pushed it in front of Mr. Li.

Seeing Xu Nanyu's uncontrollable complacency, Mr. Li cleaned his hands, put on his glasses and began to look through.Put it down after reading it, and asked: "Tell me."

"Boy, I don't know if what I said is right or not. Please comment, old man." Standing up, he bowed his hand humbly, sat down and said slowly: "This is a handwritten copy of a novel model popular in the capital in the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It is written on paper. They are all in the common type at that time, and they are quite well preserved.” Manuscripts are more valuable than printed copies, because they are sketched out by plagiarists.

"Ancient books are easy to destroy and difficult to preserve, resources are non-renewable, and the stock is scarce." Mr. Li nodded to confirm that this is indeed an ancient book from the Qing Dynasty, and then said: "Now that I have talked about it, tell me what you know about ancient books."

"That kid is ugly." Zhengshen said slowly: "Ancient books have: artistic value, scientific value, and historical value. They pay attention to authenticity, high-quality goods, and well-preserved, because many genuine high-quality goods have been carefully cared for and look like new. The age of ancient book collections is an important factor. It is normal for ancient books to be high-quality goods, and it is normal for booklets to be sold. The editions of the same period look at the content, and the classics and history subsets are classified into four categories. The rarer and rarer the stock, the more precious. Manuscripts are another special category among ancient books, because they can be mass-produced unlike printed copies, and every stroke and every stroke is carefully crafted by plagiarists."

"That's right. Manuscripts are also the mother body of printed books at certain times. It's the same concept as mother money and son money. It's not bad to be able to do this at your age. Then tell me about your book." Li The old man looked at him with a smile.

"The model novel is not included in classics, histories, zi, and collections. It belongs to miscellaneous theory. It stands to reason that such miscellaneous theory would never catch the eyes of the old man, but its plagiarists have definitely made up for this defect." Stretching out his hand to open the first page of the ancient book, Tap a stamp next to the author.

To ordinary people today, ancient seals are ghost-drawing symbols, but for people like Mr. Li who have been dealing with antiques for decades, it is not difficult. "Ji Xiaolan."

Xu Nanyu smiled lightly. "Ji Xiaolan is the name of Ji Yun, a scholar in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

Mr. Li nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"When Ji Xiaolan was still white, he made a living by copying books. This has been proven by history. His font Yanliu style has the style of calligraphy, which combines strength and elegance, and is easy to recognize."

Mr. Li smiled and continued to ask: "What else?"

Xu Nanyu took a deep breath, turned to the last page, and saw the seal there. "I have studied it carefully and found that although this seal and the previous print are the names of a person, there is a slight difference between the print and the print. Compared with the previous one, it is more powerful, clearer, and the print is more colorful, so I am very happy. It is a bold guess that the seal and the ink pad zhusha are no longer the same kind, but an official product that is much better than the previous one. That is to say, the former one is a private seal, while the latter one is an official seal. The same book is divided into two The works of the period are before and after Baishen." Baishen is just a literati "Ji Xiaolan", after Baishen, the meaning is quite different, "the first scholar of the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan", this identity can make the words written by the same person , sold at another price that is very different. "I read the font in the book and found that the difference between the front and the back is really huge."

Mr. Li took the ancient book and flipped through it. "There is not much difference between the font on the previous page and the next page, but there is a big difference between the tenth page and the tenth page, so you say that the period division is correct, but it is not two periods, but Ji Xiaolan's entire body. Period. There are three obvious differences in this ink. The first type." Pointing to the first ten pages for him to read. "The color of the ink is not bright, uneven or moist, it is ordinary charcoal ink." Pointing to the next ten pages. "The ink here is better than before. In ancient times, the family of literati was poor, and Ji Xiaolan, who copied books for a living, would never be willing to spend money to buy better ink, but Ji Xiaolan, who is an official, makes sense." Turn to the last dozen pages Let him compare with the previous two kinds of inks. If you don't compare, you will be surprised if you compare them, because the two are not the same at all. "This is Hui ink, and it is also the best ink. It is produced in ancient Huizhou. Pine is the basic raw material, plus more than 20 other raw materials, and there are complex processes such as smoking and kneading. The finished product is black in color, firm and shiny, and does not fade into paper. , licking hair without glue, durable, long-lasting fragrance and anti-corrosion and anti-moth, etc., can be used as a book or a painting. It is known as the reputation of "fragrance penetrates the flesh and bones, leaving no residue". The precious ones are often scarce and cannot be mass-produced. Because it was too complicated to make and took a long time, it was an Ouchi tribute at that time, and only the emperor could use it." There is only one case where Ouchi tribute can appear on Ji Xiaolan, and that is "imperial bestowal".It makes sense that the person who wrote the last dozen or so pages has the status of a 'Bachelor'.

Xu Nanyu stood up and saluted. "Be taught." He could only see the problem from the font and seal, but Mr. Li pointed out the clearest difference from the most basic ink, and Hui ink is so easy to use, it is knowledge rather than instinct when playing with antiques.

Dafang accepted his gift, and Mr. Li smiled and said: "You can see that it is not easy to see two points." He blinked jokingly. "I offer a price of 100 million for this book."

Blinking, wry smile.Not up or down, just stuck at that point again.Although Ji Xiaolan is a historical celebrity, compared with others, it is still traceable. There are also similar hand-copied ancient books on the market. to go.Sigh, who let him touch a perfect one? "Just do as the old man said." Compared with 60 yuan, 40 million yuan is a difference of 100 yuan, so he should be content.

Money and goods paid off, as for the remaining five books, he never thought of recommending them to Mr. Li, because even he didn't like them.

Only after finishing the business can I have the heart to look at other things.Although there are a lot of modern furniture in the whole hall, the eight mahogany chairs and wooden tea tables in the hall forcefully pull the style to the ancient Chinese style, and the Persian-style carpet is stepped on, and the patterns should be of some age.The grand master's chair is separated from the small tea table, Xu Nanyu's eyes paused, and she saw that it was the same as the grand master's chair.It may not be difficult to get a whole set of mahogany furniture as long as you spend enough money, but if you want to get a set of mahogany furniture that can be opened to the next generation, you can't do it even if you have money.

Seeing that Xu Nanyu's eyes were glued to the Grand Master's chair, Mr. Li smiled. "You can look at it as you like, and there is no charge."

Slightly embarrassed, but the interest in the Taishi chair overwhelmed the embarrassment. "Then I'm sorry."

Mr. Li smiled and nodded to drink tea, watching him touch the grand master's chair up and down like a beauty, and asked, "Can you tell the age?"

"It can only be seen that it is Qing, but in the early Qing, middle and late Qing, I can't figure it out." She smiled embarrassedly, her eyes still glued to the chair.

"This was produced during the Yongzheng period. Because the Yongzheng government was extremely strict, and the political factors affected the products produced at that time, the first condition was to be strict. Look at the chair as a whole. It was due to the creativity of the Qing Dynasty." Yongzheng's strictest laws and regulations were the most stringent in the entire Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately the political situation in his later years was unstable and the law rebounded, making Qianlong, who took over from him, a lot of effort.

"Teached."

There is a cushion in the Taishi chair, and on it is Shu embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries.Xu Nanyu secretly admired, authentic, high-quality goods, vulgar and elegant, this is what he plays with.

After looking at the Taishi chair, the eyes moved to the underglaze multicolored porcelain on the mahogany coffee table. The porcelain shape is tightened upwards, which is extremely classical and elegant.Porcelain is thin and tight, and the colors are bright and vivid, unlike those washed by the long river of history.

Mr. Li came over and asked, "What do you see? I bought this bottle at a huge price."

"I can see it."

"Then what year did you say it was?"

"The exact time is uncertain, but it will not exceed 20 years."

Old Li's face darkened. "You mean my bottle is fake?"

"It's not fake. On the contrary, it's real. It's a fine piece of porcelain unearthed in modern times." Xu Nanyu bit the bullet and said, unexpectedly, the old man's temper would change as soon as he got older.

"Evidence." The two words were uttered softly, and a lot of pressure fell on Xu Nanyu, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"The shape of the vessel has the shadow of the Song Dynasty, but the body is the bottom of the official kiln in the late Qing Dynasty. The five-color picture on the bottle is quite novel, without patina. It should not have the bottom of the Qing Dynasty if it is Song Dynasty, and it should not have modern techniques if it is Qing Dynasty. , so I made a bold guess. The words of the old man also confirmed my idea, this underglaze multicolored bottle is indeed a modern product."

Mr. Li took the bottle without saying a word, and turned the bottom of the bottle towards him.

Xu Nanyu heaved a sigh of relief for the six characters of "Geng Shennian Jingdezhen".

"You reminded you of what I said, how did you remind me?" Mr. Li asked with a smile, how could he have the slightest anger just now?

"The problem that the boy can see, the old man must be able to see it, but he still misleads me with 'big price' and 'age', just to test whether the boy can stick to his mind. Playing ancient is to have this kind of Perseverance and determination to stand up for the truth!"

Mr. Li took a deep look at him, and when he returned to the table, Xu Nanyu immediately offered to pour tea for Mr. Li before pouring his own.

"This bottle was entrusted by the central government in Jingdezhen in 1980 to make a fine piece of modern porcelain art. Its complicated craftsmanship requires constant improvement, and it took half a year to make it successfully. This bottle is the first one to come out of the kiln."

The entrustment by the central government must be as a valuable diplomatic gift, and it is the first one. You can imagine the weight of Mr. Li.

Xu Nanyu straightened her waist even more, and put on an appearance of listening carefully.
