Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 191 Chapter 191
After hearing the old man's words, Li Pingan stopped in his tracks, looked up and down the short old man in front of him again, and asked in a slightly suspicious tone, "Uncle, what do you have in your hand?"

"There is only one word left, I don't know if the guy can read it"

"Where did it come from?"

The old man smiled without saying a word and stretched out a finger, pointing towards the sky.

After seeing the old man's actions, Li Pingan's interest was aroused.Regarding the old man's pointing at the sky, Li Pingan felt that there was little hope of bringing it out of the palace, and it was most likely that it was brought out of the prince's mansion in the former Qing Dynasty.

The former Qing dynasty occupied the Central Plains for more than [-] years. Even now, those old and young people still have a lot of good things hidden in their homes, not to mention the nobles of the royal palace during the Beiyang government.

When the Northeast Army entered Sijiu City during the Zhifeng War, it had not been a few years since the former Qing emperor abdicated. If the old man had real things in his hands, they must be valuable items.

Thinking of this, Li Pingan's heart warmed up. He looked around, pulled the old man away from the bustling street, found a remote corner, and said, "Uncle, where is the thing you said?"

After the old man saw Li Pingan took the bait, he turned his eyes to the table and covered his stomach with his hands, pretending to be hungry.

Seeing the old man's performance, Li Pingan immediately understood what he was planning, and cursed secretly: He is really a veteran.

"Since uncle's stomach is uncomfortable, let's forget it. When we meet again some other day, let's go and see the words in your hand together." Li Pingan could be manipulated by him. After saying this, he turned around and pretended to leave .

Seeing that Li Pingan was about to leave, the old man stopped pretending and quickly grabbed Li Pingan's hand: "Young man, don't go, I was just rubbing my stomach, the things are at my house, we can go and see them now"

"Are you all right? If you don't feel well, it's the same if you go to see him another day." Li Pingan looked at the old man jokingly, and said to the old man in a very hypocritical tone.

The old man was not embarrassed to be seen through. He patted his chest and said in a calm voice: "Old man, my body is in good shape. There is no discomfort at all. Let's go and have a look now."

After the old man finished speaking, he led Li Pingan forward.The two chatted while walking, and as for the names of the two, they tacitly did not inquire about each other.

The old man led Li Pingan around for a while, and came to an old house on the outskirts of the city. The old man invited Li Pingan to sit down and have a cup of tea.

When going out, you still need to be vigilant. You can do whatever you want on the street. Now that the sky is broad daylight, who would dare to block the road in broad daylight to rob?

Li Pingan stopped at the door, smiled and said to the old man: "Uncle, go in and take it out, I'll wait for you outside"

"Okay, I'll go in and get the things and I'll come out, you wait here for a while" The old man knew Li Pingan's worry, so he didn't force him, and after talking to Li Pingan, he quickly opened the door and went in.

After the old man entered, Li Pingan took out the unopened front door from the warehouse, took out a cigarette from inside, and looked at the surrounding streets while smoking.

The house was next to the main road, and the surrounding houses were obviously occupied by people. The house was next to the main road, so Li Pingan was relieved.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the old man hurried out of the house with a long wooden box in his arms.

"Boy, this is my word. This is a good treasure. Be careful when you look at it." The old man held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to Li Pingan.

After taking the wooden box and opening it, Li Pingan took out the scrolls inside, put the wooden box on the ground casually, and unfolded the scrolls carefully, revealing the contents inside slowly.

After reading the beginning, Li Pingan recognized the Lanting Preface written on this painting, but he didn't know who copied it.

Although Li Pingan doesn't understand cultural relics appreciation, he still has the most basic historical knowledge.

The original script of the Lanting Preface disappeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the existing ones are all copied versions. What we need to see now is who copied the script.

If it was copied by a celebrity, it would be okay, but if it was copied by an unknown prince in the Qing Dynasty, then this thing would be a piece of waste paper to Li Pingan, and it would be uncomfortable to use it to wipe his ass.

With the help of the old man, this copied version of the Lanting Preface was finally unfolded, and Li Pingan immediately looked for the copyer's signature at the bottom of the scroll.

At the bottom of the scroll, Li Pingan found the author's inscription, a handwritten single character shi, and the seal under the word shi is 'Meiyang Su Shi'.

"Su Shi even copied the Lanting Preface" Seeing that Li Pingan's face was calm after signing, he was determined in his heart that he must win the Lanting Preface copied by Su Shi.

After reading it, although he didn't know whether the calligraphy was real or not, Li Pingan still put the calligraphy work away.

Turning to look at the old man who was secretly observing his facial expression, he said, "Uncle, do you know what is written on this painting?"

"Isn't it the Lanting Preface? Of course I know it. I've seen it before, and they told me that this calligraphy is worth thousands of gold and is a national treasure."

This old man knows what a fart, a bastard, has never been to school since he was a child, and doesn't even know his own name, so how could he know what is written on it.The words Lanting Preface above were told to me by my son who had been in school for two days.

As for what he said about finding someone to look at it, it is even more nonsense. The origin of this thing is not right, and it is too late for him to hide it. How could he take it out and find someone to identify it.

Li Pingan shook his head and smiled, and said, "Uncle, since you know that this is Lanting Xu, you should know that Lanting Xu has been buried with the emperor since the Tang Dynasty, and you are imitated by later generations."

"Impossible, I took this from a prince's house, how could it be a fake?" The old man jumped up anxiously when Li Pingan said that the thing was a fake.

"Uncle, imitation and fake are two different things. Judging from the inscription, your calligraphy was copied by Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, and it is equally valuable." Li Pingan paused, and then said again: "But this thing, I don't know if it's true or not, tell me, where did you get it from?"

"Boy, old man, I didn't lie to you. This is really something that came out of the prince's mansion. It is absolutely true." The old man was relieved when he heard that it was also valuable. As for who Su Shi was, he didn't care. As long as it's worth it.

Li Pingan carefully observed the old man's expression, and it didn't look like a fake, but just to be on the safe side, Li Pingan still said: "Uncle, since you said that, then tell the story. If what you said is reasonable, there is no If there is such a big loophole, then I will take this picture as true."

After the old man listened to Li Ping'an's words, the expression on his face was very tangled, and the wrinkles on his forehead were gathered together.

Li Pingan didn't rush, lit a cigarette, and slowly waited for the old man to speak.

After waiting for a while, the old man sighed deeply, and then began to talk about the origin of this painting.

This painting was indeed obtained from the prince's mansion, the old man really didn't lie to Li Pingan.

When the old man was still a young man, the old man participated in the second Zhifeng War, and then entered Sijiu City. When he first entered the city, their battalion commander was a bold master. A certain palace in the city.

The brothers in their battalion didn't have any military discipline at all, they were all bandits who had turned into bandits. They had just been recruited by a brigade commander under Zhang Zuolin and turned into a regular army.

After entering, everyone was fascinated by the magnificence of the palace, so they didn't listen to the officer's words, one by one, like wild horses that had let go of their restraints, robbed each other independently.

After robbing the things, they left the palace. These big soldiers took off their clothes and took the gold and silver treasures they robbed as deserters.

This is how the things in the old man's hand came from. At that time, he didn't intend to snatch this painting, but when he finished snatching gold, silver and jewelry and was about to run away, he happened to see this painting. He took it out from the armpit.

After running out of the palace, the old man imitated his friends and took off his clothes as a deserter.Fortunately, he was not caught by the law enforcement team, and he returned to his hometown with the stolen things.

After returning to his hometown, the old man sold off all the gold and silver he had robbed, and he didn't care much about this wording, so he threw it aside.

In the eyes of the old man, calligraphy and painting are just a piece of paper on which words have been written. What is the value of this thing? Gold, silver and jewelry are worth it.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I overheard a conversation between other people on the side of the road, and then I remembered the words I had put on the shelf.

However, my background is more complicated. There are still people in my hometown who know that I have been a bandit, but there is no evidence. The old man is worried that taking things out will cause trouble. In addition, the small county is not easy to sell, so he can only keep it at home. .

That is to say, this time I met Li Pingan, a [-]-[-] adult, otherwise, the old man would definitely not have brought this thing out.

After listening to the old man's narration, Li Pingan looked at the short, scrawny old man in front of him again for the third time.

He really complied with the saying 'a person should not be judged by his appearance', despite the ugly appearance of this old man, his life experience is really rich, he was a bandit, joined the army, robbed the palace and became a deserter.

Li Pingan didn't like this old man very much. The above content was definitely beautified, and the previous experience of falling grass was not mentioned.A group of bandits who had just been recruited into the regular army dared to take advantage of the chaos to loot the palace before they cleared it. Could it be that they just wanted to grab some property?
If you say this, no one with a brain will believe it.

"Uncle, there are no obvious loopholes in what you said. I just believe that this thing is true. Tell me a price. How much do you want to sell this thing?" point can still be clearly distinguished.
