Chapter 151 The True Origin
Tong Rentang said with a smile, "Good eyesight is good eyesight, and more importantly, good character!"

Yu Yao smiled wryly in his heart, if according to what he said, it must be a mistake.

"Young man, you can see that the dragon robe is a costume, and you really have good eyesight. My grandfather can't judge this. I have learned a lot from you. But, does my grandfather know the value of this pen and inkstone?" Yes, it has been passed down for three generations, I know the same thing, and it is more detailed than you! Since you don’t want to leave the country, you have to be careful!”

Well!Pu Jie couldn't help but touched his heart, it turned out that the old man had set up a trap!This level of performance is much better than "Haiwa is dead" and "Ten Years".

Fortunately, Yu Yao didn't lie, otherwise he might not be able to buy one.

"Are you in a hurry? If not, listen to me first?"

"Okay!" Yu Yao nodded.

Tong Rentang put the things aside first, then carefully brewed tea and put it on the coffee table, "I admire you, drink tea first."

Yu Yao took a sip of tea and got straight to the point, "Old man, do you really know the origin of this pen and inkstone?"

Tong Rentang lit a cigarette, as if he had something on his mind, and took a puff happily, "That's natural! If I can't find a suitable candidate, I can only send it to the cultural and museum institution. I don't want to send it to the cultural and museum institution, or I want the ancestral things to be privately collected, and I am a true collector who knows how to do it!"

"This pen, can't it really be Zhuge's pen?"

"No. This is a Xuan pen from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The Xuan pen in the Ming Dynasty was already weak, but by chance, a master of the Xuan pen collected all the purple hairs used to make a pen. He imitated the Zhuge brush and made it out of purple bamboo. Got one."

Yu Yao heard it, "Things from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty? Old man, how could you know such details?"

"You don't know something. This pen is unique when it is made; so I made a pen case separately to protect Zihao, and the pen case is engraved with words!"

"Understood, the original pen case is also from Zizhu! But your grandfather lost it accidentally, and made another bamboo case."

"It's not my grandfather, it's my father. When the Four Olds were broken, this old wooden box was relatively large. I wanted to hide the brush and inkstone alone, but I accidentally lost it." Tong Rentang explained, "On the original pen cover, engraved : Occasionally got Zihao, and Mu Zhuge carefully made it, in the ninth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty."

Yu Yao nodded, even so, the value was about the same as he estimated, and then asked: "This She inkstone belongs to Tang Xianzu, right?"

"Actually, it can't be counted. It's not a problem with your eyesight, because the year is right, and the inscription is indeed talking about Tang Xianzu."

When Yu Yao heard this, he did not make a mistake in his judgment on this brush, but if the inkstone was not used by Tang Xianzu, it would be a bit of a mistake; however, it is always right that it is an inkstone from the Ming Dynasty.

"This inkstone used to have a cupronickel box! When the Japanese invaded, my grandfather took his family from Yanjing to Jiangzhou. There was a section of the journey in a carriage, and the suitcase accidentally fell out, and the things were scattered. The inkstone came from The box fell out, but fortunately there was no damage. I hurriedly picked up the scattered things and was afraid of encountering bandits, so the box just disappeared.”

"Well, there must be words engraved on this inkstone box."

"Yes, the original inkstone box. According to the engraving on it, although this inkstone is not Tang Xianzu's, it was made by his son! At that time, Tang Xianzu was exiled to Xuwen in Leizhou Peninsula. There was one such inkstone, but it was lost later. After his son got a good Longwei She stone, he made a new one to commemorate his father."

"That's it!" Yu Yao's heart moved, "Old man, it seems that your grandfather is a collector. Did this dragon robe really come from a bank warehouse?"

"Dragon Robe, because the foreign-funded bank withdrew urgently and owed employees wages. There were some unprocessed items in the warehouse, and the employees went in to distribute them. My grandfather took this dragon robe."

Tong Rentang took a sip of tea, "As for collectors, I can't talk about it. But my grandfather likes things in the study, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and he did collect some. He said that there are a few wax-printed story papers from the Ming Dynasty. A piece of orchid ink from the Ming Dynasty, but then it was lost in the chaos of the war. The only thing that has been handed down is this brushstroke inkstone."

"It must not be easy to get this pen and inkstone." Yu Yao sighed.

"I don't know the origin of this pen. He just said it was a coincidence. I might as well tell you about this inkstone. It was bought from a tomb robber!"

"Ah?" Pu Jie couldn't help calling out.

"I heard that it should be a Qing Dynasty tomb. The owner of the tomb must have cherished this inkstone and brought it into the coffin." Tong Rentang continued.

Yu Yao said, "It's better to fall into the hands of your grandfather than to be caught by someone who messed up."

"It's inconvenient to comment on what happened so many years ago. Well, I've said everything I need to say. I'm relieved to let you take these two things away."

Yu Yao also lit a cigarette, "Grandpa, then you can make an offer!"

Anyway, first ask the price.And these two things, Yu Yao started the idea of ​​collecting them.

It's just that there are two problems now. One is that the price is high and money has to be raised, and the money for the autumn auction will take several months to settle.The second is that it was brought by Pu Jie. If he collects it by himself, Pu Jie will lose it.

Tong Rentang fell into deep thought.

"Master, let's talk about something." Pu Jie said something to Tong Rentang, and Tong Rentang nodded.

Pu Jie pulled Yu Yao to the door, and said in a low voice, "You don't want to get in or out, do you?"

"I have this idea, but I can't let you go in vain."

"Who we are with who. I don't care, but it's not easy to make money."

"Well, I thought about it just now, the Xuande dice bowl is injured, I have been hesitant to come up with it, and that transaction is also your way, you take it out! It's a profit, we two one Add five elements, right?"

That sale was an old house bought by the owner that Pu Jie found, and Yu Yao shared half of it, which is a bit much according to the rules.But if there was no Yu Yao, Pu Jie would not be able to see Dao Dao, and would not have won the Xuande dice bowl, and it was Yu Yao who won it in the end; from this point of view, Yu Yao should not only share half.It's not easy to calculate carefully, Yu Yao guessed that if Pu Jie was divided, he should also think so.

"Well, this thing is also easy to sell! It is estimated that 200 million is no problem. You are polite, and it is also neat to split. You take my share first, collect these two things, and talk about it later when the money from the autumn auction comes down."

The two agreed to turn around and walk back together. Tong Rentang smiled, "What? You don't want money?"

Yu Yao smiled, "As long as the old man can give it a few days, it's fine."

"Sit down!" Tong Rentang stretched out his hand, "It seems, Xiao Yu, are you really planning to keep it as a treasure?"
