"That's right. There are a few empty houses in our area. If you want to see them, I'll take you to see them now. As long as your eldest brother doesn't mind that we are outside the city."
After hearing this, the old man nodded and said enthusiastically.
"I don't mind, this is not outside the city. It's just separated from the old bj by a city wall. Maybe one day this wall will be demolished, and then your place will be no different from the city."
In fact, Laobj has been demolishing the city wall one after another since last year, but it has not yet reached the Deshengmen side.
"Then I'd like to thank you for your kindness. Let's leave now."
As the old man said this, he was about to get up and take Liu Guangqi out to find a house. Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi quickly stopped the resolute old man.
"Wait, don't worry, you'd better warm yourself up first. If it gets cold or hot, you'll have some problems."
"Okay, please sit down for a while. I just have something else I want you to show me. If you can accept it, just do me a favor and accept it."
"Okay, just take it. I will definitely accept the minimum price I can offer."
This was an unexpected surprise. I originally came here to find treasures, but I didn't expect to find two treasures. The two incense burners are just like the ones from the old man's house. Especially Liu Guangqi also noticed that this old man's house The chairs and tables are actually made of red sandalwood, which shows that the old man's family background is not simple.
"Please wait"
After saying that, the old man walked into the back room, and then there was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the old man to get things, Liu Guangqi stood up, and then looked at the furnishings in the room in the light outside. In addition to the table and chairs that Liu Guangqi had seen before, there was also a eucalyptus with a pair of hats on it. Bucket, one has a feather duster, the other has a dried plum blossom.
On the wall facing the door hangs a portrait of the most popular great man of this era, and on the wall next to it are several landscape paintings, but these paintings are somewhat different from traditional landscape paintings. The simplicity and emphasis on white space give people a sense of distant artistic conception, but these paintings are very reluctant to use ink, and they look dark from a distance.
With the light coming from the window, Liu Guangqi leaned in front of one of the paintings and looked at it carefully. It didn't matter, Liu Guangqi's jaw almost dropped. The painting in front of him turned out to be a painting by Huang Binhong.
Some people may be a little unfamiliar with Huang Binhong, but this does not affect his achievements. This man is as famous as Mr. Qi Baishi, and is known as Southern Huang and Northern Qi. It's useless to say all this. When the time comes, this man's paintings will be very valuable in future generations. The most expensive painting actually sold for 300 million. It was because of this news that Liu Guangqi knew how awesome this man was.
Thinking that the painting style of the paintings next to him seemed to be the same as this painting, Liu Guangqi quickly looked at the paintings one by one. As expected by Liu Guangqi, they are all works by Master Huang.
"It's mine, it's more than a billion."
Looking at the paintings in front of him, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but swallow. However, Liu Guangqi quickly recovered his mentality, although these paintings will be very valuable sixty years later. But now, this painting is the price of two pounds of meat, which is very cheap.
Moreover, Master Huang is still alive. If he wants, he can buy a few paintings from Master Huang later. As long as the money is enough, Master Huang can paint several paintings for Liu Guangqi. Now Master Huang is at his peak.
"That's it. I'll invite Master Huang for paintings when I get back. Invite a few large ones to hang in the study, and Master Qi will also invite a few."
While these traditional Chinese painting masters were still alive, Liu Guangqi decided to stock up on a batch of goods. It didn't matter if he ran out of money, he just asked Bai Mei for it. Liu Guangqi couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about other people's expressions decades later when they saw the famous paintings in his room.
"Dr. Liu, look at how much these things are worth."
Just as Liu Guangqi was thinking about it, the old man walked out of the back room with a few things in his arms.
"Old man, why did you take out this thing? This should be your favorite thing."
Among the pile of things, Liu Guangqi immediately spotted the purple clay pot in the old man's hand. This purple clay teapot has a square shape, smooth lines, fine workmanship, and an air of grandeur. And judging from the patina on it, it should be an object that you keep on hand all year round.
"Hey, it's just an object. Now I can't even eat. How can I afford to raise it? Instead of leaving it idle here, why not put it in a home that can afford to raise it."
The old man shook his head and smiled to himself.
"How can you say it's idle? Even if you can't make good tea, you can just drink water from it."
Liu Guangqi took the pile of things from the old man and put them on the table. If he were in Liulichang, Liu Guangqi would never do this. This is a taboo. Damaging something can make Liu Guangqi bankrupt.
"You don't understand. This purple clay pot is designed to make tea, just like a wine pot is used to drink wine. If you keep drinking water, this pot will be as if you haven't eaten enough."
"This is the first time I've heard of your theory. It's really enlightening."
"No, this is all my own thinking, and it doesn't make sense. Look at what these things of mine are worth, and how much they are worth, and you can give me an estimate."
After saying that, the old man put his hands into his sleeves and sat on the chair.
"Then I won't be polite."
Liu Guangqi could see that this old man was really short of money now, so he bought all his favorite gadgets for money. Although he said it nicely, Liu Guangqi could clearly see the reluctance in his eyes.
Although he can see it, Liu Guangqi is not a living Bodhisattva. He can help for a while, but he cannot help forever. All he can do now is to buy as many things as possible to help the grandfather and grandson tide over the difficulties.
Liu Guangqi was the first to pick up the purple clay pot that the old man valued most. Liu Guangqi looked at it and according to the book Tong Fengquan gave him, this pot should be Chen Mingyuan's purple clay incense pot.
The pot is in the shape of a square bucket, with a simple shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, handsome and straight. It has a square handle, square flow, and supports four legs. On the bottom are the running script inscriptions and inscriptions of "Let the book in my chest spread the fragrance" and "Ming Yuan", as well as the seal script seals of "Chen Mingyuan" and "Hu Yin". Purple clay contains the fragrance of calligraphy and calligraphy, and the elegance of literati is all here.
The four corners of the pot body, lid, flow, handle and feet are all made with concave tendons, while the body, lid, feet, flow and tendons are formed on the inside. The arc curve of the short meander is clever and smooth, just right, and forms a dialogue between the round and square shapes of the square pot handle;
The craftsmen are meticulous and the workmanship is extremely fine, which can be seen in every detail. Proportion balance, comprehensive observation, the shape is close to perfect, simple yet changing geometric shape, full of simple and elegant beauty.
In particular, the ridges and ribs protruding from the tendons are sharp and powerful, showing a steep and steep spirit. The craftsman concentrated on it, making this pot more distinctive and powerful.
"Beautiful, really beautiful. You should know the origin of this pot, old man. It's a top-quality thing. It's a pity that you bought it after playing with it for so many years."
Liu Guang persuaded again, if the old man still wants to sell after persuading him, then he will not be polite.
"You know there's nothing you can do about it. Dr. Liu, go take a look at my rice vat. If I can't get any more money, I'm afraid our grandparents will starve to death this winter.
To tell you the truth, you are not the first one I am looking for. Two days ago, a rag collector also wanted this pot from me. I thought about it for a long time and was reluctant to buy it, but I can’t sell it now. If I don’t buy it, my grandson will Time to starve.
I have already felt sorry for my son and daughter-in-law. If I starve my grandson to death again, I will really be embarrassed to see them, wuwu."
As he spoke, the old man wiped away his tears.
"Old man, don't feel bad. Life will be good, and life will get better day by day. I'll take this thing, one million, do you think it's okay? I know the price may be a bit low, but you have to understand that now is not the time. During the Republic of China, antiques were no longer valuable.”
Seeing the old man like this, Liu Guangqi, who had no intention of softening his heart, softened his heart. Obviously his life was not too good, but he couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world.
"It's quite a lot, that's enough. Only the rag collector was willing to pay 300,000 yuan. You have already taken good care of my old man by offering this million."
Just when Liu Guangqi was happy that he had become a living Bodhisattva, the old man's words instantly made Liu Guangqi feel cold. Old man, can you stop being so serious? Just keep some things in your heart, don't do it in front of me. Speaking in person, I feel so uncomfortable when you say that.
