Chapter 221 Dongzhoulu Dongpo

Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao waited for the car on the side of the road, and Yu Yao insisted on letting Lin Fengcao get in the first car, since the hotel he was staying in was indeed closer.Of course, he didn't go to the hotel, instead he took a taxi to the address of the chess and card room that Bai Yonghai sent him.

Yu Yao came early, unexpectedly Bai Yonghai came earlier.When Yu Yao entered the private room, Bai Yonghai was already sitting at the mahjong table drinking a cup of tea.

Yu Yao said hello, first looked around, but didn't see anything.

"Mr. Bai, it's so late, why don't you just look at something?" Yu Yao sat down and thought to himself, could it be a small thing that he just put on his body?

Bai Yonghai opened a folding fan in his hand and fanned it, "Mr. Yu is still in a hurry, let's have a cup of tea first."

"It's very cold, take a..." Yu Yao was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stared at the folding fan in Bai Yonghai's hand, "You mean this folding fan?"

Bai Yonghai smiled triumphantly, put away the folding fan, and put it on the mahjong table, "I wanted to wait until you had a cup of tea, but you saw it right away."

Yu Yao was also polite and picked it up directly.

The fan bone of this folding fan is made of brown bamboo, and the outermost keel is pasted with bamboo yellow and decorated with Ruyi patterns, which is a typical Qing Dynasty style.

Slowly opened, the palm bamboo fan bones are divided into eighteen levels, the fan surface is made of jade, and the upper and lower ends are sealed with yellow edges.

One side is bluegrass, supplemented by rocks.There are not many pens and inks, but the orchids are graceful and graceful. Several orchids are looming among the leaves, and one is floating under a long leaf.The blank space is just right, and the whole picture is meaningful and lively, with a long aftertaste.

"Isn't it a good painting?" Bai Yonghai lit a cigarette, "Your eyesight must not be weak in calligraphy and painting!"

"How can I know calligraphy and painting?" Yu Yao laughed, "However, the expensive fan bones are all made of red sandalwood and ivory, palm bamboo and moso bamboo are more common."

"You don't understand!" Bai Yonghai shook his head, "Red sandalwood and ivory are all custom made, but palm bamboo and moso bamboo are the only ones that can hold elegant things!"

This shocked Yu Yao a little, he didn't expect that Bai Yonghai could say something!

The fan ribs of folding fans only started to be valued in the Ming Dynasty. Various precious materials such as red sandalwood and ivory appeared, but literati still prefer bamboo.

Besides, the most valuable part of this folding fan is actually the calligraphy and painting on the fan.

The bluegrass that Yu Yao looked at did not have a signature or a red seal.While flipping through the other side, Yu Yao asked, "Mr. Bai is still a literati! Give me a little bit, whose handwriting is this?"

On the other side, there is a cursive five-character poem:
Chunlan is like a beauty, she offers herself without shame.When I heard the fragrance of the wind and dew, I couldn't see Pengai deeply.Danqing's true color is to make up for Lisao's biography.Treat it like Lingjun, but don't dare to swallow the crown.

The inscription is very special, and it is also in the form of two lines of five-character poems: Dongzhou Lu Dongpo, named as a layman.

Although Yu Yao asked him, he actually understood it.Bai Yonghai laughed dryly, "This is the handwriting of famous Qing Dynasty masters!"

When Yu Yao heard it, since he said that, he couldn't understand it.

One side of this folding fan is bluegrass, without inscription or red seal; the other side is five-character poems in cursive script, without red seals, only inscriptions, but the inscriptions are relatively obscure, not directly on the name, but at the end of the five-syllable poems. said a few words.

Moreover, cursive script is difficult to decipher, so it's normal for Bai Yonghai not to understand it.

"Mr. Bai, you only talk about famous artists, but neither side of the fan has signature stamps, how can you be sure?" Yu Yao asked again.

"With your eyesight, why don't you understand painting and calligraphy?" Bai Yonghai asked back, "Do people who know the art still need to look at seals?"

Yu Yao closed the folding fan and put it on the mahjong table, "There is a specialization in art, Mr. Bai! Calligraphy and painting are the most difficult items in antiques, and I am really weak in this area."

Bai Yonghai thought for a while, "This character, this painting, looks like a famous artist's handwriting. This bone fan should be from the Qing Dynasty, right?"

"This year, I think, is also from the late Qing Dynasty. The fan's bone craftsmanship is fine, but if the fan is just an ordinary literati calligraphy and painting, it won't be very interesting."

Bai Yonghai leaned forward, looked at Yu Yao and said, "It's impossible for our old man to have something bad. This bluegrass and calligraphy are written in the same hand."

He is now struggling to remember.I often heard the old man chanting some literati sentences, but I remembered some of them, but who made the fan, I really didn’t care at the time, I couldn’t remember it when I found the folding fan, and I still can’t remember it now. I only remember that orchid grass and calligraphy are one. human handwriting.

Even if there is no cryptic inscription, Yu Yao certainly knew that it was written by one person, but he frowned and said, "The orchid looks pretty good, but the cursive script looks a bit unbearable, it could be that his painting is okay and calligraphy is not good enough, right?" ? So I’m sorry to sign it.”

How could Yu Yao talk nonsense in front of experts, but Bai Yonghai probably couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Bai Yonghai really couldn't find the fault of Yu Yao's Huatou, but he could catch others, "Mr. Yu, as the saying goes, applause is idlers, compliments are buyers, let's not talk about it, want it?"

"It's okay if you want it, anyway, it's a literati and elegant object of the Qing Dynasty, but it's just the price?"

"Look, isn't it just a bargain after all?" Bai Yonghai said with a smile, "You can see it!"

"I don't know how to give more and less. Mr. Bai, you should call me!"

Bai Yonghai smiled, "I said at the time that there were things first, but then you took the longevity pill for 30 yuan, which made me earn an extra [-] yuan. This matter will come later. It is said that if it is a small thing that comes and goes , I’ll just give it to you. But this thing, as you said, is a literati and elegant thing, and it’s a sought-after item in the market!”

This antique business, when talking about it, is different from other businesses. It seems to be nonsense on the surface, but in fact there is a contest in every sentence.Bai Yonghai sells a lot of things, and his level in this aspect has really improved a lot.

"If you don't take care of me in this matter, I will have to drink the northwest wind!" Yu Yao laughed.

"Mr. Yu, let's keep the door open and tell the truth. You are willing to win the bunch of longevity pills for 30 yuan. If I guess correctly, there must be a big buyer who asked you before, right? The price of this kind of thing is one time. It's a matter, it's another thing to really meet someone you like! So we are a win-win situation, and you don't have to complain."

Yu Yaoxin said, yes, you are quite good at thinking, even though you have been thinking for a long time, you still haven't figured it out right.But even Yang Rui and Lin Fengcao can't understand it, and it's normal that you can't jump out of this circle.

"Mr. Bai, I can't answer your words. Let's make a price directly and take care of me."

Bai Yonghai didn't speak any more, pondered for a while, and finally stretched out three fingers.

"Three thousand? Then I won't talk about it!"

"Don't be so joking, [-]! It's for you! Just this pair of old fan bones with brown bamboo keel and yellow paste is worth [-]!"

Yu Yao's heart is determined, what he did before was really helpful!The two of them are the only ones in the private room of the chess and card room, and they are picking up this leak.
