Play treasure master

Chapter 648
Hearing Yu Yao ask what kind of painting it was, Xiao Gu showed a little embarrassment, "Ashamed!"

Xiaowen then said, "It's a picture of a lady drawn by me."

Yu Yao was puzzled, "What is there to be ashamed of?"

Xiaowen explained, "She said she was ashamed because this was the only one that was sold, but it didn't have the author's seal."

"Oh!" Yu Yao nodded, "What style?"

"It's a Tang Yin-style lady. Later, Mr. Tan also arranged for the whole to be made into the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, a collection seal was added." Xiaowen further explained.

"who?"

Yu Yao thought, this Tan Xinding is really good at "playing". Tang Bohu's "works" are almost all over the street. No matter how good the imitation is, it is easy to be suspected.It is a good idea to add the seal of the collector without signing the signature.

Moreover, this is equivalent to a "certificate of identification".

The premise is that this collector is also famous and discerning.

"The seal is also from the Ming Dynasty, Tianlai Pavilion; the inscription shows that it is identified as Tang Yin's work."

"Tianlai Pavilion? Xiang Yuanbian?" Yu Yao couldn't help but let out a low voice.

Speaking of Xiang Yuanbian, his reputation in the collection circle is actually no less than that of Tang Bohu.He was a very famous collector in the Ming Dynasty.

Xiang Yuanbian was nicknamed Molin, and some people called him Xiang Molin.

If you have a solid collection, money must be one aspect.Xiang Yuanbian's father was very rich, and after his death, the three brothers Xiang Yuanbian inherited the inheritance.And it was Xiang Yuanbian who inherited the big head, because the other two brothers, one obsessed with official career, and the other obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and fu, didn't care much about it.

Because of his family background, Xiang Yuanbian started to collect and manage antiques at the age of 16; at the age of 30, he collected a considerable part of the masterpieces of calligraphy and painting in the Yuan Dynasty; In Tianlai Pavilion.

Xiang Yuanbian's collection seal can be found on many famous calligraphy and painting works today.

Such as Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shizhen Tu", Wang Xizhi's "Zhan Jin Tie Juan", Huai Su's "Self-narrative Tie", Li Di's "Snow Trees and Cold Birds", Han Huang's "Five Cows", Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration". ·····

There are countless.

Today, some calligraphy and painting works are lying in overseas museums, but the seals of Tianlai Pavilion and Xiang Molin are still there.

Needless to say, Xiang Yuanbian's forensic eyesight is known as "distinguishing the true from the false" and "analyzing without a single hair", which is unmatched by his contemporaries.

Tianlai Pavilion was named because Xiang Yuanbian once got a guqin with the word "Tianlai" engraved on it. He loved it very much, so he called his collection place Tianlai Pavilion.

Tianlai Pavilion was originally located in Jiaxing.In addition to calligraphy and painting, there are other antique collections.

In the second year of Shunzhi, Qing soldiers broke through Jiaxing City, and the collection of Tianlai Pavilion was looted.

Some were finally returned to the palace, some were lost, and some were destroyed.

Qianlong was a "fan" of Xiang Yuanbian. Among the calligraphy and painting works in his collection, there are a large number of Xiang Yuanbian's old collections; print.

"It's indeed a good idea to use Xiang Yuanbian's collection stamps on Tang Yin's works." Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Xiang Yuanbian and Tang Bohu almost lived together. Xiang Yuanbian was born in the second year after Tang Bohu passed away.

At the same time, Xiang Yuanbian lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and had close contacts with calligraphers and painters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. For example, Wen Zhengming, who was a few dozen years older than him, had a good relationship with him.

Moreover, Xiang Yuanbian's seal is not difficult to imitate.

Hearing Yu Yao's comments, Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen both nodded.

"Who did you sell it to?" Yu Yao asked again.

"It's also a shop in the Seven Star Bridge Antique Market, called Yawan Pavilion."

"What?" Yu Yao frowned, "Big Head Liu...Boss Liu?"

"Yes!" Xiao Gu was slightly surprised, "You know him too?"

Yu Yao thought to himself, I know him too well!But there was only a faint smile on the surface, "In the antique circle, if you don't look up and look down, you must know this person."

"I went with another classmate at the time, and I will contact him later to take it back." Xiao Gu replied.

"How much did you sell him?" Yu Yao thought again, thinking that it would be very difficult to get it back from Liu Datou without blood.

"It's not expensive. After all, there is no seal of the original author, and we haven't sold a few of them. We also want to sell one of them quickly." Xiao Gu scratched his head, "And, this Boss Liu is very good at lowering the price. In the end it was only sold for 2 yuan.”

Yu Yao sighed.I'm afraid Liu Datou can see it too, but he accepts it, but no matter whether it is true or not, the key is to get a big price.

"You also know that he will lower the price—I heard that Boss Liu is very shrewd. If you take it back, [-] yuan may not be enough." Yu Yao looked at Xiaogu and Xiaowen, "If you want to take it back smoothly , and you have to think about it carefully."

"No, I'll add [-]." Xiao Gu gritted his teeth.

"That's enough."

Not to mention whether Liu Datou sold the painting or not, even if he didn't sell it, he still had an estimated price that he was prepared to sell.

Moreover, if Xiao Gu sells it and then collects it, Liu Datou will definitely raise the price, not to mention adding [-], it is not an exaggeration to say that adding [-] is enough.

Xiao Gu observed Yu Yao's expression, "Boss Yu, how much do you think he will let me take back?"

"It's hard to say, but I heard that Liu Datou is very difficult to deal with."

"Oh. That's right. I could see a thing or two when I was selling paintings." Xiao Gudao, "Boss Yu, I see. Thank you for reminding me again. Let's go back and add up."

"Well. Fortunately, there are roots and doors. Such things may not be easy to sell. It shouldn't be a big problem after a few days." Yu Yao nodded.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen left afterward, and Yu Yao sent them out of the door.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Wen walked several steps, Yu Yao patted his forehead lightly, shook his head slightly, and then suddenly called out, "Wait!"

The two stopped and turned around, then hurried back to the door, "What's the matter, Boss Yu?"

Yu Yao lowered his voice, "I'll help you figure out a solution for the sold painting, let's get in touch anytime!"

"Really?" Xiaogu and Xiaowen looked at each other with surprise.

Yu Yao nodded, "But I can't guarantee it, but I can help you think of a good way!"

"This is already very grateful to Boss Yu." Xiao Gu couldn't help thanking him repeatedly.

After the two left, Yu Yao went back to the store, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, "I haven't sorted out my affairs yet, why are you meddling in my own business?"

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the store door was pushed open again.This time it was Lao Zhou who came in.

"Are you free? Let's go, I treat you to a light meal." Lao Zhou said as he walked over.

"What's the matter today? Come to invite me to dinner?"

"I just reapplied for an ID card at the Binjiang Road Police Station. After finishing the work, you are so close to here, so I stopped by." Lao Zhou also lit a cigarette, "Just in time, I have something to chat with you."
