Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Chapter 782 A different kind of picking up the slack

Lu Guangming is still very confident. He stares at these items in the store every day. Let’s not talk about whether there are good items. If the little girl in front of him can tell which items are real and which items are fake in his store, , I consider her to be very good, let alone pick up the missing items in my own store.

"Hehe," Zhu Yuyan smiled at Lu Guangming, "Boss, you said this yourself, so I have to take it seriously!"

Lu Guangming smiled faintly, stood up and made an inviting gesture towards Zhu Yuyan, telling her to look at it as she pleased.

Zhu Yuyan bit the apple while looking back and forth in the store, and finally locked her eyes on a painting. Zhu Yuyan frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, then took a hard bite of the apple and chewed it in her mouth, signaling to the waiter. Take the painting over and take a good look at it yourself.

"Boss, how much does this painting cost?" Zhu Yuyan stared at the painting and asked the price.

Hearing Zhu Yuyan's question, Lu Guangming became slightly nervous. After all, he had made a bet. Even if he didn't have to kneel down and kowtow for her to call the master, if she went out and said she picked up a big leak from her shop, she would There’s no need to show off your old face.

If this happened two years ago, Lu Guangming wouldn't be so afraid. After all, there are only so many people in Jiangcheng Antique Shop, and everyone doesn't know who they are! But it happened that Chen Yang came out in the past two years, picking up big leaks in the east and leaky ones in the west, causing many people from outside the antique circle to come to Jiangcheng to pick up leaks. Although the little girl in front of me doesn’t look like someone from an antique shop, it’s still better to be careful!

Lu Guangming walked closer and couldn't help but smile when he saw the painting Zhu Yuyan asked. This is a picture of Zhao Mengfu's "Tingcao Mandarin Picture", but it's not the original, but an imitation. The content of the painting is a pair of mandarin ducks resting on the sand beside the water. The water plants next to them are very lush and the horizon is endless.

This is definitely not the genuine work of Zhao Mengfu's "Tingcao Wenyu Tu" because the genuine one is over the sea. Although it is said to be an imitation, it is also an old imitation. The water plants on the picture are swaying, and the ink between dark and light colors fully reflects the artistic conception. Although it looks good, the painting of this mandarin duck is... a bit fat!

First of all, what I can be sure of is that this is not a revealing painting, and I have also checked the scroll and found that there is no hidden treasure. This is just a painting copied by an unknown talent in the late Qing Dynasty!

Even though he had the answer in his mind, Lu Guangming was not rash. He could see this old painting among the objects. The little girl in front of him was not an ordinary girl. After Lu Guangming thought for a moment, he slowly said, "Two thousand yuan!"

"Two thousand yuan!" Zhu Yuyan shook her head after hearing this, "Boss, you are really a big talker. If you pay this price, I advise you to roll it up quickly and keep it as a family heirloom!"

"Perhaps when your son's son's son's time comes, this painting will be worth two thousand yuan!"

Lu Guangming heard Zhu Yuyan's sarcasm and couldn't help snorting, "Then tell me a price!"

Zhu Yuyan stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty yuan!"

"Twenty yuan?" Lu Guangming looked at Zhu Yuyan as if he were a fool, and then smiled, "Little girl, go and cool down somewhere, twenty yuan, are you kidding me!"

"Don't you even understand this painting?"

Zhu Yuyan smiled and nodded, "Isn't this just a painting of a mandarin duck? The key point is that your painting of a mandarin duck is not good-looking, just like a big goose. You shouldn't draw water plants next to you. It would be better to draw an iron pot!"

"Haha!" Lu Guangming raised his head and laughed loudly after hearing this. It turned out that she was a little girl who didn't know anything, and she even drew an iron pot. I would just draw you an iron pot to stew the goose!

"Little girl, let me tell you, this is an antique painting, imitating Zhao Mengfu's "Tingcao Mandarin Picture"!" Lu Guangming explained to Zhu Yuyan with a smile, "Zhao Mengfu was born in the late Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Mengfu was erudite and talented. Gongguwen poetry, pronunciation and rhythm, and fine appreciation. In calligraphy, he is good at regular script, running script and small regular script. His calligraphy is round and graceful, and he is called Zhao style. Together with Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, he is also known as the four masters of regular script. "

Zhu Yuyan nodded after hearing this and blinked her eyes, saying that if they are so powerful, why do they draw the mandarin ducks like the big geese?

"I said this is an antique painting," Lu Guang took a look at Zhu Yuyan. "Although it is said to be an imitation, it is not imitated by modern people. Judging from the color of the paper used in this painting, it should be from the Qing Dynasty. Imitation."

"It's something from the Qing Dynasty. You said it was sold to you for more than 2,000 yuan. Besides, where can you find an honest boss like me? If it were someone else, I would tell you that it is from Zhao Mengfu. Can you tell?"

"So that's it!" Zhu Yuyan blinked and glanced at Lu Guangming with a smile, "That two thousand yuan is too expensive. Even if it is an object from the Qing Dynasty, it is not imitated by a celebrity!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuyan frowned and thought for a moment, "Okay, how about two hundred yuan?"

Lu Guangming waved his hand and said that Zhu Yuyan should go to the mall for a walk. If nothing happens, don't make trouble here. "Two hundred yuan, I won't sell it to you even if you kill me!"

Zhu Yuyan bit her lip and looked at the painting again, "Boss, tell me how much you can sell it for at the lowest price!"

Lu Guangming sat on the chair again, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Needless to say, at least two thousand yuan, we won't sell it for a penny less!"

"Five hundred yuan!" Zhu Yuyan obviously had no intention of leaving. After speaking, she took out five banknotes from her bag. She borrowed them from Chen Yang. Chen Yang got one thousand yuan for herself and took out half of the banknotes. It’s definitely worth borrowing money to get this painting!

"Boss, I really like this painting. Look at how cute the mandarin ducks are. Just sell it to me!" Zhu Yuyan put the five hundred yuan on the table with a pleading look on her face. , said in a cooing voice.

Zhu Yuyan's voice was already sweet. After acting coquettishly like this, Lu Guangming's whole body was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand. He hurriedly put the teacup on the table, and then made an embarrassed expression, " No, little girl. It’s not that I won’t sell you, your money is too little!”

"For this painting, although it is said to be a fake, five hundred yuan is too little. This... you are really embarrassing me!"

"Boss," Zhu Yuyan came to Lu Guangming's side, lowered her head, held five hundred yuan tightly in her hand, and whispered with an aggrieved face, "I came to Jiangcheng to play, and I wasn't very happy this time. , I was thinking of buying myself a gift before I left, just as a souvenir. But I looked around and found nothing that caught my fancy, so I thought the mandarin ducks in your painting were quite cute."

"I only have so much money on me, and I still have to buy a ticket to go back! Please, just sell it to me, okay?"

Lu Guangming looked at Zhu Yuyan's pouty little mouth, with a cute look on her face. This was the first time he had encountered such a customer, and he was speechless. He sighed slightly. This painting was not expensive. I took it from someone else for fifteen yuan three years ago. Five hundred yuan is probably five hundred yuan. It has been there for three years anyway. I guess. If it is kept for another three years, it will not sell for more than 2,000 yuan. Two thousand yuan, that's a shilling price. For this kind of imitation painting, if it sells for one thousand yuan, it's considered a high price. Now the little girl offers five hundred, which is already a lot.

"Okay, okay," Lu Guangming waved his hand, "Looking at you, a little girl, and a foreigner, I will give you an advantage today, just five hundred!"

"Xiao Shunzi, wrap the painting on this little girl!"

Zhu Yuyan held the scroll tightly in her hands and ran out of the store excitedly. After going out, she looked around, looking for Chen Yang. After searching around the opposite side, I saw Chen Yang in front of a stall. At this time, Chen Yang was squatting on the ground looking at something.

Zhu Yuyan hugged the painting tightly and came close to Chen Yang. At this time, Chen Yang was squatting on the ground, holding a jar in his hand and looking at it. The jar has a straight mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, bulging belly and round feet.

The outer wall of the jar is decorated with green ground and yellow color, the shoulders are decorated with deformed lotus petal patterns, and the four diamond-shaped consecrations on the abdomen are all decorated with cloud and dragon patterns. The upper and lower consecrations are decorated with Dharma wheel, Dharma conch, precious umbrella, white cover, lotus, treasure jar, goldfish, pan intestines, etc. Eight auspicious signs separate each other. The center of the cover is decorated with a cloud and dragon pattern, surrounded by 4 deformed lotus petal patterns on the outside, and white glaze is applied inside the circle foot.

The outsole is decorated with the Ming Dynasty Wanli year system in double rows and six characters in blue and white regular script, with blue and white double coils on the outside.

Zhu Yuyan leaned her head over, and Chen Yang turned to look at Zhu Yuyan. When he saw her holding a painting tightly with both hands, he knew in his heart that she had succeeded in picking up the missing piece. Chen Yang shook the jar in his hand towards Zhu Yuyan. Zhu Yuyan raised the corner of her mouth and muttered silently in her heart, "Good boy, my junior brother has picked up another good item. This is the green land, yellow color, seawater river cliff during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty." Dragon pattern jar!

"Boss, how do you sell this jar?"

The boss glanced at Chen Yang, then looked at the jar in Chen Yang's hand, "Five thousand!"

"Bye!" Chen Yang put the jar down directly, stood up and prepared to leave.

Are you kidding me? You are covering your head here! The items on your stall, except for this jar, all cost less than five hundred yuan. If you had such a discerning eye, you could get a bunch of fakes to sell here!

"Young man, don't leave in a hurry!" The stall owner stood up and stopped Chen Yang directly. He hadn't opened for a week. If he didn't open today, he wouldn't even be able to pay the rent. While talking, the stall owner came closer to Chen Yang and said, "This is a real old thing. Look, it says Ming Dynasty Wanli Year System below. It's definitely worth buying it back!"

Chen Yang sneered and sneered at the corner of his mouth, saying that it said the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty on it, so it was made in the Wanli Year? Then if I burn a pot and write "Made in Da Qin" on it, it will be porcelain from the time of Qin Shihuang!

"Brother, I can't even accept what you're saying." The stall owner chuckled and pointed at the yellow dragon pattern on the jar. "Look, this dragon is so beautiful. Isn't it like this in ancient times?" Can only the emperor use dragons? You won’t lose if you fight against this dragon!"

"This dragon of yours is fake at first glance!" Chen Yang pointed and curled his lips and said to the boss, "People say that a golden dragon with five claws is a golden dragon with five claws. Your dragon only has four claws, so it is definitely fake!"

"Aren't these five? How could they be four?" The boss pointed to the five-fingered golden dragon on the jar and said to Chen Yang.

"Who are you fooling? These are fingers, not paws!" Chen Yang glanced at the boss dissatisfied, "Who are you fooling? The paws are paws, the toes are toes, I can't tell the difference between fingers and paws! "

After hearing what Chen Yang said, the boss was confused and scratched his head. Yes, the claws are claws and the toes are toes. Is it from the five-clawed golden dragon or the five-toed golden dragon?

Zhu Yuyan was suppressing a smile beside her. This Chen Yang was too bad. According to the description of strange beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas, it is customary to use the words, head, feet, and claws. The head represents the head, the feet represent the legs, and the claws represent the fingers. So the five-clawed golden dragon is a golden dragon with five fingers. Now Chen Yang has separated the claws and toes. This boss is also stupid. For example, if he buys chicken feet, there are toes on them!

Before the boss could react, Chen Yang shook his head and said it was too expensive. If the boss wanted to sell it, he could pay 50 yuan.

Fifty yuan is not enough to sell because it is not enough to pay for the rent. If you live in a hotel, you will have to pay ten yuan a day!

"Well, if you want to buy it, how about five hundred yuan?"

Chen Yang shook his head like a rattle, "I'll give you sixty yuan!"

"Brother," the boss pursed his lips slightly, "just say you want it sincerely or not, right?"

Chen Yang nodded, "Of course I want it sincerely. This item looks pretty when I take it home, but the price is too high."

"How about you give me three hundred?"

"It's too expensive," Chen Yang glanced at the boss. From the boss's eager eyes, he could see that he could go on further, "Sixty is the most, but I don't want it if I'm a senior."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, the boss stopped talking. He also didn't expect that Chen Yang would insist on this price, even if he didn't break through 100, he saw Chen Yang turning around and walking away without saying anything. Sixty was too little!

"You are stupid," Zhu Yuyan whispered, "Five hundred yuan is not expensive anymore!"

"Shh!" Chen Yang made a low-pitched gesture, "Believe it or not, he will call me within three steps?"

"Brother, wait a minute!" Before Zhu Yuyan could react, the boss caught up with Chen Yang carrying a jar and grabbed Chen Yang's arm. "Looking at your sincerity, we have been talking about it for a long time. Let's get together for one hundred yuan." How about round numbers?”

"Ouch," Chen Yang smiled bitterly, "Boss, you are doing this small business... Okay, since you have come after me, I want the hundred yuan!"

Chen Yang carried the jar and Zhu Yuyan held the painting. They ran back to the car excitedly. Chen Yang placed the jars and looked at them carefully.

"The Ming Dynasty Wanli Seawater River Cliff Dragon Pattern Jar," Zhu Yuyan pouted, "Junior brother, yes, it can be resold for at least hundreds of thousands. You have made a lot of money!"

Chen Yang smiled and looked up at Zhu Yuyan. This little girl really deserves to be Master Bian's apprentice. Her eyesight is so accurate!

"Your designation is not bad," Chen Yang said to Zhu Yuyan with a smile, "Let me see what treasure you missed from that old guy Lu Guangming?"

"Hehe," Zhu Yuyan signaled Chen Yang to put the jar away, then opened the painting, spread it on the back seat, clapped her hands, and pinched her waist, "How are you, little junior brother?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly, why does this painting look so familiar?
