Play treasure master

Chapter 615 The Defeated Pu Jie

"I'm really tired, I have to go back and rest."

Xu Jun still wanted to insist, but Yu Yao later refused more simply, so he had no choice but to give up.

Yu Yao thought about it for a while before going to bed at night, and always felt that there was something wrong with the few people he met in Chang'an, from the old master Tao, to the fat and thin couple, and even that old Xu.I don't know what's wrong, it just feels wrong.

This Xu Jun feels relatively simple, just a walnut merchant and antique player.

But since he couldn't figure it out clearly, Yu Yao didn't think about it any more. In Chang'an, he was just a passerby, and he just passed by.

After returning to Jiangzhou, Yu Yao first called Cai Pengxi. Firstly, Cai Pengxi was the elder among the successors. Secondly, the communication between Yu Yao and Cai Pengxi had been relatively harmonious and smooth.

Yu Yao talked about Wuliang Mountain's progress and Wang Mang's treasure. After Cai Pengxi heard it, he felt that there was no need for the heirs to meet for the time being. He could talk about it one by one and think about it individually.Because the matter of Wang Mang's treasure is really troublesome, meeting directly may not be fruitful.

Yu Yao didn't treat any successor as an outsider, and felt that this was feasible.After hanging up the phone, he called Xiao Ying again, and Xiao Ying also felt that he could talk about it in advance.Yu Yao then informed them one by one.

Everyone's reaction to this matter is different, Cai Pengxi and Teng Kunwu's reaction is relatively stable, after all, they are already old people.

Lin Fengcao was quite surprised, but he was not very interested. The difficulty of reality was partly the reason, and his personal characteristics were also partly the reason.

Zhong Yu's reaction was not very violent, but he said that he must do his best, and as for the method, he can think about it slowly.

Shangguan Yu was the one who reacted the most, which was beyond Yu Yao's expectation.Shangguan Yu shouted directly, "There really is Wang Mang's treasure!"

However, his intense reaction was mainly due to his surprise and excitement, rather than his desire to dig it out in the first place.

Yu Yao told everyone to think of their own way and meet again at the right time.

Yu Yao didn't go out that day, so he took a good rest at home.

The next day Yu Yao got up early and went for a stroll to Geguzhai.At first he thought it was early enough, but he saw that Pu Jie was already inside, smoking a cigarette early in the morning.

"Why are you here so early?"

"Aren't you back? Waiting for you."

"Are you letting someone make a game? Or is it eye-catching?"

"It's almost the same." Pu Jie really looked depressed.

Yu Yao sat down and lit a cigarette, "That must be exhausting! Tell me."

"I'll go, you look like a big boss now!" Pu Jie pouted, "It's about a calligraphy and painting."

Yu Yao was taken aback for a moment, "Do you dare to mess around with calligraphy and painting? You are a little bit courageous!"

"Who says it's not." Pu Jie then talked about the process.

Pu Jie often picks up goods around Jiangzhou, so some of the errands to pick up the goods are quite familiar with him, and they will call him if there is anything or news.

A while ago, someone with a burden told Pu Jie that there was a person in a suburban county who wanted to sell a painting, which was the painting of Zhong Kui and Shenwei by Ren Bonian, a painter in the late Qing Dynasty.

Pu Jie became energetic when he heard it, what's the matter?Because there happened to be a boss of Hot Pot City who asked him to buy a painting of Zhong Kui!
And this bearer said that the reason why he confiscated it himself was because money was tight recently, and he could earn a commission by informing Pu Jie.

When Pu Jie came to this man's house, he was an old man. The old man was very considerate in hospitality, and he also let Pu Jie see the painting, but he hesitated for a while when negotiating the price. It costs money, and the final asking price is 20.

The scale of this painting is neither big nor small, one meter long and half a meter wide.To say that Ren Bonian is also a famous artist, the price is not expensive.

But Pu Jie didn't know calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't make up his mind after reading it, so he agreed to come back to see it the next day.

After returning home, Pu Jie made an appointment with Huang Yongyi, the boss of Yimozhai, Lao Huang.Lao Huang has no problem reading paintings, so he agreed to help him take a look together.

Pu Jie and Lao Huang went together, Lao Huang took a look, and first gave Pu Jie a positive look, which meant that he had a look.

Just waiting for a closer look, Lao Huang answered the phone, saying that his son had a fight with someone at school and lost a tooth. As soon as Lao Huang heard this, he became anxious and left in a hurry.

Although Pu Jie didn't know calligraphy and painting, but after hanging around with Yu Yao for so long, he could see the old and new in the mounting, paper and ink.

In the end, Pu Jie pressed 2 yuan with great difficulty, and 18 yuan took the painting.

That night, Pu Jie made an appointment with the owner of Hot Pot City to look at the painting, and he invited Pu Jie to have a hot pot meal in his shop.

The owner of the hot pot restaurant fell in love with this picture of Zhong Kui's sheen after seeing it, especially Zhong Kui's posture with one hand holding a sword and one foot raised.

Pu Jie earned 12 yuan from this painting, and sold 30 yuan to the owner of the hot pot restaurant, feeling very happy.But within two days, people found it and said that it was not the real work of Ren Bonian, it was drawn by a graduate student of Dongjiang Academy of Fine Arts!

This graduate student specializes in drawing figures, Zhong Kui and Guan Gong are the best.Moreover, there is a small imitation painting team in the Academy of Fine Arts, which divides labor and cooperates. Some people paint figures, some paint landscapes, some paint flowers and birds, etc.;

This small team only imitates the works of famous masters from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and does not imitate top masters such as Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, and they are quite good at playing tricks.

It is said that in this industry, you can't find out the back account, but the owner of the hot pot restaurant is not in the industry, and he directly moved the bottom out, so I don't know how to find out.

In the end, they also said, brother, I know you didn't do it on purpose, maybe you also drilled the eye, so you can refund me a few thousand at least, and it will be your hard work.

Pu Jie blushed, and returned the original 30 yuan to others, and took the painting and went to Yimozhai, an antique market in Qixingqiao.

Lao Huang took a closer look in the store, and then slapped his thigh and said that some subtleties were not in place. He just looked at it as a whole that day, and he didn't have time to take a closer look.However, the framed silk and paper and ink are all old materials from the late Qing Dynasty.

Lao Huang was quite embarrassed, but that day was really a rush, and Pu Jie couldn't blame him.But Lao Huang's second careful identification shows that it should be a high imitation.

Hearing this, Yu Yao frowned, "I said, what's the name of that old householder carrying the burden?"

"It's not his game." Pu Jie waved his hand, "He's got his way too."

"you sure?"

"Well, I checked the old household later."

"Is that what the old cargo owner did?"

"Probably so." Pu Jie lit another cigarette, "But there's no way to find an account for this matter. They said at the time that they bought it by themselves in the antique market, and the price is the same. .”

"Emphasize this in advance, then it must be a game." Yu Yao sneered, "Is the new game popular now? Sitting at home to set up a game?"

"Why don't I know about this small imitation painting team of the Academy of Fine Arts?" Pu Jie hummed twice.

"Is the painting there? I'll take a look first." Yu Yao raised his hand.
