Play treasure master

Chapter 488 Detoured to an acquaintance

"It should be, and besides the painting by Lang Shining, it seems that they are all from the calligraphers and painters of the Republic of China. The painting of Lang Shining should be hidden by my grandfather alone, so I haven't found it all the time. We two brothers wanted to clean it up last night. Found on a beam!"

When Yu Yao heard it, what a guy!It can really hide!
Zhao Mingxing thought about it again, "Except for Castiglione's painting, my dad sold it one after another after my grandfather passed away in 1995. As for this calligraphy, it may be because the content is about the Qingming Festival, so it is not easy to sell, so I just threw it in the cabinet. Yes. After my father passed away the year before last, I had forgotten about it, but you accidentally found it again when you came last time."

"Is this the only one left?"

"Lang Shining, you don't want it, but this is the only one left! That box is gone..." Zhao Mingxing scratched his head suddenly when he said this, "I seem to remember it, In that box, there is another seal, packed in a very delicate red box!"

"What about this seal?"

"It must have been sold too. The seal is yellow, so it should be jade, right? There is also a seal button carved on it, which is... the sunrise of the sea of ​​clouds, yes, the sunrise of the sea of ​​clouds!" He was very satisfied with the word, and made gestures as he spoke.

"Who did you sell it to? Do you still have any memory?" Shangguan Yu asked urgently.

"My dad sold it in the late 90s, when I was in high school..." Zhao Mingxing rubbed his chin with one hand, "That's right! Mr. Du next door to my house seems to know something, because he also wanted to buy it back then. Yes, but it’s too expensive and I can’t afford it, how about I ask you?”

"Okay!" Shangguan Yu nodded, "You said the red box, is it a mahogany box?"

"No, it's like painted, bright red, and engraved."

"Okay. Thank you. Then you should hurry up and ask. You have to take care of your sister-in-law when you're done. You should wake up later."

"You said you two, come and see, and bring so many things!" Zhao Mingxing interrupted a few polite words before picking up his mobile phone and calling out.

Yu Yao thought to himself, it seems that the seal box is made of red lacquerware, and the yellow seal, Zhao Mingxing can't tell, Tian Huang is very likely.

This seems to be the seal of that party's "Zhenpin Xuanhe", but I didn't expect it to be still among the people at this moment.It seems that the Special Investigation Bureau does not have this seal, but after so many years, it may not be easy to find this seal.

At this time, Zhao Mingxing looked at the phone and said, "I didn't answer it. If so, let's contact you again anytime!" Go and ask directly?"

"Okay, let's keep one!" Shangguan Yu nodded, "But it's a bit rash for us to go directly, we'd better wait for him to call you back, and you can talk to him before contacting."

"it is good."

That being the case, Yu Yao and Shangguan Yu didn't want to continue to bother, so they left Uncle Du's phone number and left first.

The two left the ward building and sat on a bench beside the small garden of the hospital for a while without leaving the hospital.

Shangguan Yu said, "Looking at it now, this seal is almost in the hands of Jin Bosheng, but the circumstances back then were too accidental. Even if we found this seal, I don't know why it is in his hands. His experience is too special , the ages are so far apart, I'm afraid it won't work to start with his relatives and friends' offspring."

Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "If you can find the seal, it will be considered a harvest! But, even if you can't find the seal."

"If it is a set of ticking red seal box and Tianhuang seal, it should be more sought-after in the market, but if someone collects it and keeps it as a treasure, it will not show up in the market at all."

The two chatted for a while, and when they were about to leave, Zhao Mingxing called Shangguanyu, saying that Uncle Du was playing chess in the alley, and he didn't bring his mobile phone just now, so he can go to find him now.

After thanking Shangguan Yu, he hung up the phone, and returned to the alley where the Zhao family was located with Yu Yao.

Turning a corner not far from the gate of Zhao’s house, under an old locust tree by the wall, there were really two old men playing chess, and three old men watching.

Shangguan Yu stepped forward and asked, "Which one is Uncle Du?"

An old man with a big face and thinning hair raised his head, "You are the buyer that Mr. Zhao said, right? Wait for me, 2 minutes, I will checkmate him first!"

As a result, within a minute, the old man opposite Uncle Du yelled, "Checkmate me? Heh heh, the iron door bolt is gone!"

Uncle Du scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time, and there was really nothing to do, so he put the chess pieces in his hand heavily on the chessboard, "Even if you win! I have something to do, you know? Otherwise, you will lose if I let you go!"

Several old men laughed together, and another old man took Uncle Du's place.

The three of them turned to the other side of the old locust tree, Yu Yao handed him a cigarette, and Uncle Du took a look, "Hey, giant pandas with long mouths, those who play antiques are rich!"

Yu Yao lit a cigarette for Uncle Du, and took out another box, "Uncle was joking, here is one for you! Don't you also play antiques?"

Uncle Du pushed it twice, then put it in his pocket, "Are you asking about the Tianhuang seal?"

"So it's Tian Huang. Brother Zhao only said it's yellow, but didn't say anything specific." Yu Yao agreed smoothly.

"Yes, it's Tian Huang, an old material, a top craftsman in the Republic of China. The upper half of it can be regarded as a seal button carved according to the shape, and half of the wall can see the sun. The print box is also good, and the red carving is like a full moon. However, Lao Zhao's asking price is too high. , or I'll take it."

This Uncle Du's appearance and clothes are very ordinary, but when it comes to things, it really looks like that.Zhao Mingxing said "the sun rises from the sea of ​​clouds", and he said "the sun rises from the sea halfway through the wall".

"Who was so rich to buy it back then?" Yu Yao hurriedly asked.

"Yin Xitian who runs an antique shop in Liulichang! But he has already traveled westward on a crane! And I don't know if he changed hands later!"

"Ah?" Yu Yao and Shangguan Yu looked at each other helplessly.

Uncle Du added another sentence: "His son is still opening a shop in Liulichang now! And the scale is much larger than his father! Baorong Gallery, you know?"

"You mean Yin Baorong?" When Shangguan Yu heard this, he co-authored with an acquaintance?

"Yes, this is his eldest son!" Uncle Du couldn't help but looked at the two of them again, "You two are not very old, you seem to be doing well!"

"An old player like you can't do it." Seeing that he finished his cigarette, Yu Yao handed him another one, "Think about it, do you remember anything?"

Uncle Du took the cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, "There is nothing about the seal. However, I also bought a painting by Lao Zhao, and later sold it to Yin Xitian. Yin Xitian is a thief, so I don't know much about it. I love dealing with him, even if I was short of money at the time, I couldn’t help it.”

Shangguan Yu couldn't help asking, "What painting?"

"Zhong Kui married his sister! The ink painting of the Republic of China, the signature is very strange. What is it? "The best is like water", but the brush and ink are fine, and I can buy them cheap..."

　Sorry for the lateness again.
