The best golden pupil

Chapter 431 Landscape Painting

Ning Tao's expression also turned cold when he heard the words, squinted his eyes and glanced at the other party, and said coldly, "It's not your thing, why didn't you buy it just now if you have money?"

The implication is very simple, if you pretend, what price do you ask if you have money?
"you……"

The young man's face immediately turned red when he heard the words, and he spat out the word you, but he couldn't say anything else.

Seeing that the two of them were going to have a dispute, the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. He didn't intend to buy it from Ning Tao, but he just used it to stimulate the young man so that he could make up his mind as soon as possible. He didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant.

He couldn't let this good business be ruined, and when he was about to step forward to persuade him, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and an old man with fluffy hair walked in.

"Boss, do you accept calligraphy and paintings here?"

As soon as the old man came in, he looked around the shop, then he focused on the three of them, and said in a hurry.

"Accept, of course, let's take a look at the things first."

Seeing that the old man was anxious, the boss happily agreed as soon as he turned on him.

What the calligraphy and painting shop does is low-in and high-out business. Although the old man looks like this, it doesn't look like he has good things, but in line with the mentality of making a fortune, the boss agreed very readily.

"Okay, this is a treasure handed down from my ancestors, boss, you can't cheat people."

The old man hesitated a little, then took out a roll from his body, opened it, took out a painting from it, put it on the table, and spread it out carefully.

"Don't worry, old man, our store is a century-old store, and it is absolutely innocent."

The shop owner saw that there were many people of all kinds, and he didn't get angry when he heard the words. He assured him with a smile. It was just a pair of small eyes but he never left the painting.

There was a young man by his side, and Ning Tao lost interest in the calligraphy and paintings around him, so he immediately came over and became interested.

"It was drawn on Chengxintang paper?"

Seeing the material of the paper, the store owner's eyes lit up unconsciously, and he muttered, completely attracted his attention.

Ning Tao couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

He has some understanding of this Chengxintang paper, this paper is as thin as an egg membrane, as hard and clean as jade, thin and smooth, some fifty feet is a piece of paper, from the beginning to the end, it is as thin as a piece of paper.

As for the specific method, it has been passed down to the present and has long been lost, but I did not expect to see it here.

Just as Ning Tao's mind was turning, the old man had already opened the scroll.

This is a rectangular picture scroll, about one meter long and more than half a foot wide. Ning Tao glanced at it and took in the whole picture.

I saw that this sentence is a beautiful landscape picture, only black and white, but it gives people a sense of layering. There are mountains in the distance, and there are many mountains and mountains. Like today's work, it gives people a sense of vicissitudes.

In addition, in the lower right corner of the painting, there is another inscription, which is inscribed in Xiaozhuan, but it may be a little mottled due to the age.

"Huh? Could this be..."

After looking at the painting carefully, and then staring at the inscription for a while, the shop owner seemed to have discovered something, with an excited expression on his face, he hurriedly turned around and took out the magnifying glass, and began to lie on it to look at it a little bit.

But only 2 minutes later, the shop owner put away the magnifying glass, shook his head, looked at the old man with some disappointment, and said slowly, "Brother, if I guessed correctly, this painting of yours is Wu Daozi's." imitation."

"The boss has good eyesight, how much can the boss pay for this painting?"

The old man obviously had a certain understanding of it, and he was not discouraged when he heard the words, he just fixed his eyes on the boss and said eagerly.

"how to say?"

The boss stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, as if he was in a bit of a dilemma. After a while, he spread his hands and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, Wu Daozi is most famous for his landscape paintings, and he has imitated them a lot. A piece of paper can be worth a lot of money, but right now, hey..."

The boss shook his head and looked a little disappointed.

"I know, boss, I need money urgently, so you can just give the highest price."

The old man really looked anxious, didn't think too much about it, and went straight to the point.

"Okay, then I'll make an offer."

Seeing that the other party's appetite was almost whetted, the boss coughed dryly and said, "You must have visited a lot of houses, so I won't talk nonsense. If you buy it sincerely, I will offer you 6 yuan. How about it?" ?”

Businessmen have their own way of speaking. Although this painting is a copy, it is also of considerable value. The boss first explained all the disadvantages of this painting, just to prepare for the current asking price.

"Sixty thousand?"

When the old man heard the words, his eyes were full of disappointment, he shook his head and said, "This is too little, boss, if you give one hundred thousand, this painting is for you."

The shop owner smiled, raised his head and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, this painting sells well, and 10 yuan is not a problem, but you have to leave some profit for me, how about this, I will add another [-] yuan to you." , if you like, you can keep the painting, if not, you can take it home and store it for a few years, maybe it will be worth millions by then."

The calligraphy and painting business is very deep. It will not open for three years, and it will last for three years. According to the market, it is not a problem for this painting to sell 10,000+, but this business does not have a few generations of profits. No one is willing to do it. After all, it is very expensive sharp.

He was sure that the other party was in a hurry to spend money, and deliberately teased him with words, which was also a tactic of attacking the heart.

"No, my wife is [-] yuan short of seeing a doctor, and I can't do anything less."

Obviously, the old man was a little tempted, but then he thought of something, shook his head and refused.

"Then there's no other way, brother, you can go to another house and come back if you can't."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, the boss already knew it well, and immediately issued an order to evict the guest, but secretly said in his heart, I don't believe you won't turn back!

"Okay, excuse me then."

The old man sighed, rolled up the scroll carefully, and was about to leave.

"and many more……"

At this moment, Ning Tao suddenly spoke, making the old man's footsteps stagnate.Looking back at Ning Tao with some surprise.

"Mister, I'm interested in your painting, can you let me have a look."

When he was just now, Ning Tao subconsciously opened the perspective, looked into the painting, and found something strange.

"There are layers in this painting!"

Looking carefully, he could see the universe in the painting again. Thoughts swirled in his mind, his heart moved, and he said to himself.
