Chapter 990 Han Yusong's Antiques

Chu Chen said: "Old Qiao, what do you want me to do? Even if it is beyond my ability, I will try my best to help you coordinate."

"If there were more people like Xiao Chu in our society, the loss of cultural relics in our country would be much better!"

Seeing Chu Chen's statement, Qiao Qingtai said with emotion, and then he said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, it's actually easy for me to ask you for help. I got the news in advance that that national treasure will appear on the black market tomorrow. The finale lot. My task is to take pictures of the national treasure first."

"Originally, I wanted Xiao Han to arrange someone to take me there. The other party is also a boss, but his wealth is a bit thin compared to that national treasure. If it is photographed, I am worried that it will arouse the suspicion of those people. I did not expect to meet today. When it comes to you, then it’s all right.”

"Okay, it's simple, we'll go together then."

Chu Chen nodded and agreed directly. As for why Qiao Qingtai and the others knew about the national treasure, why they didn't directly arrest this group of people, he didn't even ask.

The reason is obvious. Since the other party dared to spread such news, they must have already had the means to deal with it. If there is any trouble, these people will probably run away without a trace.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to buy the national treasure first, so that even if those people escape in the end, the national treasure will not be smuggled abroad.Otherwise, if the national treasure is really smuggled abroad, everyone should be able to imagine the difficulty of recovering it.

Qiao Qingtai briefly talked about the things to pay attention to then said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, do you have anything to do today?"

Chu Chen shook his head, expressing that he originally planned to go out for fun.

Han Yusong next to him heard the words and said quickly: "Mr. Chu, I wonder if you have time to go to my small shop and give me some guidance?"

Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Xiao Han, your brain is fast enough."

Han Yusong chuckled and said, "Isn't this a rare trip to Xiazhou by Mr. Chu?"

"It's strange to believe you!" Qiao Qingtai cursed with a smile, and said, "In order to increase the reputation of his antique shop, this kid never misses a chance. Every time I come here, he asks me to write an inscription for him, but after so many years, What hangs in his store is still the one I inscribed the first time, and I don’t know if the others were sold by him or what.”

Han Yusong repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Uncle Qiao, you will bury me if you say that. I will carefully preserve those words and pass them on as family heirlooms. No matter what, I won't sell your words." Money! And if I do that, my dad won't break my leg!"

"As for the picture of you hanging in the store, isn't it because rare things are more expensive? If there are too many words, it will also reduce your value."

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I'm not a calligrapher, what's not worth it."

"Uncle Qiao, that's because you are too modest. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Chu how your calligraphy is."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If I ask Xiao Chu face to face, he will say that my calligraphy is poor?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old Qiao, you are indeed too modest. My master has praised your calligraphy a lot."

Han Yusong laughed and said, "Look, I'm not wrong..."

After joking for a while, everyone took a car to one of the many antique markets in Xiazhou.This antique market is located in a north-south alley. There are about 40 stores on both sides of the alley, half of which are mainly porcelain and jade. One or two jade articles.

Han Yusong's antique shop is one of the miscellaneous shops. The store is not big or small. When Chu Chen and the others walked into the shop with Han Yusong, they saw a young man in his 30s and [-]s talking to a middle-aged man. Introducing the antiques on the shelf.

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen and the others, and then pointed to a blue vase for the young man to introduce.Judging from what he asked, this person is probably a novice, and he probably hasn't been here a few times, and if he doesn't come, he won't even know the boss.

Han Yusong just nodded to the young man, and led the three of them to the reception room inside.

At this time, the middle-aged man asked: "Excuse me, do you have any calligraphy works by He Shaoji?"

The young man was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Han Yusong. There was indeed a calligraphy work by He Shaoji in the store, but the price was not cheap, and it was not up to him as a part-time worker to decide.

Han Yusong also heard what the middle-aged man said, so he apologized to the others, then walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Sir, do you want He Shaoji's calligraphy?"

The middle-aged man looked at Han Yusong for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, you are the owner of this store?"

Han Yusong nodded: "He Shaoji's calligraphy work does exist in our store, but there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, the price of this work is not low."

The middle-aged man waved his hand when he heard the words, and said grandly: "As long as I can see something, the price is completely negotiable."

"Okay! Then please go inside!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man was also invited into the reception room by Han Yusong. After the young clerk prepared tea for everyone, Han Yusong came back with a calligraphy and painting brocade box. He put the brocade box in the On a long table next to it, everyone is invited to watch it together.

He Shaoji was a poet, painter and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty.He is very diligent. He himself said: "I have studied calligraphy for more than [-] years, and traced the origin of seal script. The rules of regular script were divided into true regular script from the northern dynasty."

He Shaoji started with Yan Zhenqing and Ouyang Tong in his early years, and pursued Qin and Han Zhuanli.He is very specialized in writing Han monuments. He wrote "Zhangqian Stele" and "Ritual Vessel Stele" more than 100 times.Furthermore, "grass, seal, fen, and line are fused into one furnace, and the changes of dragons and dragons are unpredictable." There are still many copies so far.

In his middle age, he devoted himself to Beibei, and wrote characters with strong personality in a way that is different from ordinary people.

He Shaoji said: "It's like writing with a middle peak, a stroke to the bottom, and four sides. Is it thick? Is it rhyme? Is it majestic? Is it not distant? This must be mentioned when holding the pen. The dantian worker, with high vision, twists and turns vertically, can only get this energy by himself. If it is really round, it will be difficult, and it will be difficult!"

This shows that he attaches great importance to and deeply understands Zhongfeng.And this also created his calligraphic style of casting various styles of calligraphy into the ancients to form a family of his own, which is praised by the world.

The calligraphy work in front of me is a seven-character couplet in ink and wash running script on a vertical scroll, and the paper is made of sprinkled gold paper.

Sprinkling gold paper is actually when making rice paper in ancient times, for reasons such as beauty, rubber powder was added to the paper with gold and silver powder or gold and silver foil. Formed in pieces of gold and silver foil, it is called "sprinkling gold and silver five-color wax paper", that is, "sprinkling gold paper".

In addition to the special paper, this piece of running script can be described as frank and straightforward, proficient but not slippery and frivolous, which perfectly interprets the characteristics of He Shaoji's running script.

The calligraphy seems to have not only absorbed the ups and downs and mellowness of the inscriptions in gold and stone, but also integrated the majestic and majestic momentum of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, forming his calligraphy charm that is both ups and downs and full of strength and plumpness.

Just like a literati in the Qing Dynasty commented, "Because of the unrestrained spirit, often in a line, it suddenly looks like a strong man fighting, with muscles and bones emerging, and suddenly it is like holding a cup and reining in a horse, with a detached attitude and a non-exhaustive study of the four bodies." If you are familiar with the eight dharmas, you will not be able to comprehend their subtleties.”

From it, we can see the courage contained in He Shaoji's running script.

"it is good!"

Although there is only a seven-character couplet in front of me, judging from the old-fashioned brushwork and the artistic conception contained in it, it should be a masterpiece of He Shaoji's running script works in his later years. Qiao Qingtai, who loves calligraphy, couldn't help admiring it when he saw it at the end out.

To be honest, Qiao Qingtai is also very eager to get this couplet in his pocket at this time, but first come, first served is the rule that everyone in the antique industry attaches great importance to. No matter how good his relationship with He Shaoji is, he can't break this convention.

Seeing Qiao Qingtai's hot eyes, Han Yusong felt somewhat regretful, and didn't think much about what he said just now.However, he did so subconsciously, and the reason was that the price he got for this couplet was a bit more expensive. Based on the current market conditions, it may take another three or four years to appreciate in value before he can keep his capital.

In this case, only a newcomer who is not very knowledgeable can let him sell as soon as possible at a price with guaranteed capital.

But things have come to this, Han Yusong can only talk about the business first for the sake of his own reputation, but he still has some conflicts in his heart. On the one hand, he doesn't want to disappoint Qiao Qingtai, on the other hand, he wants to save capital as soon as possible. The price of the shot made him feel very entangled.

However, no matter how entangled Han Yusong was, the business still had to be discussed, so he took the middle-aged man aside, and the two began to bargain, but the process was not smooth. Although the middle-aged man liked the work, he But the price is kept very low, not to mention being able to protect capital, even the normal market price can't reach it.

This made Han Yusong very annoyed. Seeing the middle-aged man's reticence, he became a little impatient, and said, "Mr. Qian, the price just now cannot be lowered anyway."

"That must not work!" The middle-aged man repeatedly shook his head to express his disapproval.

The price Han Yusong just said is already slightly lower than his purchase price. If it is lower, he might as well transfer this couplet to Qiao Qingtai to earn a favor. Since the middle-aged man disagrees, he also expresses This deal can't go on.

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and left without saying anything.

After the middle-aged man left, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Han, what's the matter with this man?"

"Maybe the price I gave was too high?" Han Yusong chuckled. Even though the price he gave was already a bit of a loss, it was indeed higher than the current market price. It's normal for the other party to feel dissatisfied. .
