golden ear

Chapter 33
"Are you really okay?"

When the two left the art gallery, Sun Yuyao asked with concern, Wu Tianyuan has been absent-minded since just now, as if something happened suddenly?
"It's okay, I'm excited for a while, seeing so many national treasures lost overseas, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable." Wu Tianyuan calmed down and said with a smile: "It's still early, why don't you take me to the Antique Street?"

"Okay, let's go if you have nothing to do. I'll take you to the most famous antique street in Kyoto and see if you can pick up the missing ones?"

The two of them excitedly came to the commercial district in the north, where many ancient buildings in Kyoto were preserved, and many features from the Meiji Restoration period could be seen here.

"This is an antique street. It is said to be a street, but in fact there are hundreds of shops. They have been in the antique business for generations, and some have been passed down for more than three generations. There are good treasures in it. I used to come every week. Come with me! "

Sun Yuyao was excited, she hadn't been here for a long time, she was very kind, she came here to practice her eyesight when she was free in school, over time, many people got to know this little girl and became friends. "

"Uncle Tumu, long time no see!"

Sun Yuyao dragged Wu Tianyuan into a small shop, it was not big, but it had a wide variety of things.She chatted enthusiastically with the shop owner, Wu Tianyuan hurriedly secretly said to the fan: "If you feel other brothers, tell me!"

"Is this the Kangxi five-color bowl of the Qing Dynasty? And Yongzheng famille rose?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at many authentic products in shock, and absorbed energy as soon as he started to use them, there is no doubt that they are authentic!
"Amazing, isn't it? This is the oldest store in Antique Street. The owner, Uncle Tumu, has been running it for generations. His grandfather is a well-known antique merchant. There are many treasures here, basically Ming and Qing porcelains and jades, which are my favorites." shop."

Sun Yuyao introduced them like a few treasures, and the boss is also an acquaintance, and specially allowed them to get started. Wu Tianyuan excitedly absorbed the energy of Qing Dynasty porcelain, feeling refreshed in his heart!

"Come on, let's go to the next one, the uncle is gone!"

As expected, Sun Yuyao was an old regular customer. She brought Wu Tianyuan all the way down, and many shops knew her.Every time Wu Tianyuan was able to use the authentic Qing Dynasty product, he absorbed a lot of energy, and his hearing became better and better.

"There are a lot of authentic products here, but the prices are not low, and they are basically priced in US dollars." Wu Tianyuan chatted with a circle, knowing it in his heart.

"Yes, people are smart nowadays. Many people often shop around the world for treasures, especially in the famous Antique Street. The shopkeepers are all experts. They watch the auction market all day long. It's hard to find big leaks!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, if he bought a Qing Yongzheng official kiln here, the price would be lower than the auction house.But after deducting the commission and tax, it is basically the same. It is not considered a scam, and at most it is spending money to buy a real product.

"The antique shops are all experts. There are also antique stalls over there. The weekend is the busiest. Tomorrow is the weekend. You can come and take a look, maybe there is something missing!"

Sun Yuyao pointed to the public area next to it. There were no people there today, and there would be street stalls on the weekend tomorrow. Wu Tianyuan made a note to himself, so he must come and visit.

"What? You have a sense!"

Just as Wu Tianyuan continued to walk around with Sun Yuyao, the fan suddenly yelled, saying that he really felt it.

"there?"

Wu Tianyuan didn't care about explaining to Sun Yuyao, and dragged her to follow the instructions of the fan, and came to a shop with all kinds of twists and turns.

"Is this the Umbrella House?"

Sun Yuyao looked at the signboard and was a little surprised. She didn't know why Wu Tianyuan had to come here.

"Let's go in and see!"

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly opened the door and went in. Inside was a place where umbrellas were made by hand. RB's umbrellas are very delicate. The real works of art are all handmade. The price is very expensive, which is a rare gift.

"Where is it?" Wu Tianyuan asked the fans, it should be this one, is there really Wanliu fans?
"In a box upstairs, I can already hear them!"

Wu Tianyuan looked up and saw that there was indeed a second floor, but it was not easy to go up directly, ask Sun Yuyao to translate, and asked the owner if he had collected the fans.

"How do you know?" After Sun Yuyao asked, she was very curious, and even the shop owner was surprised. She really had a box of fan noodles, which her ancestors left behind and said they came from China. She looked very beautiful, so she kept it as a sample and painted umbrella surfaces.

"Ask her if she can take a look!"

After negotiating for a while, Sun Yuyao finally agreed, went upstairs and took out a small box, which was full of fans, at least more than 20 pieces.

"Is this Chen Jieqi's mirror heart? Bao Dong's calligraphy? And? Wu Changshuo!"

Wu Tianyuan identified one by one, they were all celebrities and scholars in the late Qing Dynasty, at least Wu Tianyuan had heard of them.The last three photos are all Wu Changshuo's landscapes, flowers and birds.

"Brothers, I finally found you!"

The fans wept with joy, crying about decades of experience, and sure enough, these batches were part of the treasures left behind by the willows lost in the war.

"This is Wanliutang!" Sun Yuyao was so excited that she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yes, they are all collected by Wanliu! Each one has the collection chapter of Xiaowanliutang, each of Wu Changshuo's has the "Taizhou Gongshi Collection Seal", and this one also has "Gongzi Xingyufu Appreciation". The standard inheritance is orderly, and the authentic products handed over by famous masters."

Wu Tianyuan said in a low voice, thinking how to buy them in his mind, the owner must know that these are good things.However, it should not be known that it is the overall collection of Wanliutang, which is very important.

"Ask her to make a move?" Wu Tianyuan whispered: "We must get these, Wan Liutang, you know what it means!"

Sun Yuyao's expression was startled, now is not the time to be curious, so she quickly suppressed her excitement and started talking to the proprietress.

"Do you have any brothers around?"

"No, it's just us, and at the bottom there is a fan from the early Qing Dynasty, it's Big Brother!"

Wu Tianyuan quickly took out the bottom one, and said in surprise, "Wu Li's picture of spring trees in Jianggan?"

"Written in the year of Yimao in Wuli, set on golden paper, with bells printed in Wuli, and the inscription is more important than that in Chrysanthemum Garden. It was written in April in Yimao, Wuli in Yushan."

His heart beat even harder, no wonder he didn't listen to the sermon, the six kings of the early Qing Dynasty, Wu Li's landscape fan!
"No, the proprietress said she doesn't want to sell it!" Sun Yuyao was a little anxious, and she didn't want to sell it after talking for a long time.

"If you tell her like this, just say that I am a descendant of the owner of the fan, here is one of the fans!" Wu Tianyuan had an idea, and took out the fan he was carrying to show the proprietress, and then asked Sun Yuyao to translate.

"My grandfather has been thinking about this batch of fans. He searched for them all his life, but he didn't fulfill his wish until he passed away. This time, he heard the news and came all the way from China. As expected, he was lucky enough to see other fans. Please transfer them to me. , can also be regarded as the fulfillment of the old man's last wish!"

When the proprietress heard this, she hesitated, and she also understood Wu Tianyuan's painstaking efforts, but the fans were also handed down from the ancestors, so they were very emotional, so?

"100 million! How much is 100 million yuan in Japanese yen?"

Sun Yuyao rolled her eyes and started negotiating again. When the proprietress heard the price, her eyes lit up, and she breathed a lot of relief.

"She wants 120 million RMB in the end, what should I do?"

As soon as Wu Tianyuan gritted his teeth, he figured out that he must have made a profit. He had already prepared before coming here this time, and he exchanged enough dollars to do this!
"I'll notify the bank to see how to transfer the money to her!"

Wu Tianyuan immediately contacted the bank, asked for the proprietress' account, and after paying a high international handling fee, it was finally done!
"It's amazing! How did you know that there is Wanliutang and Wu Li here!"

Sun Yuyao and Wu Tianyuan hurried back to the hotel with the fans, looking at the treasures left behind by the willows one by one, extremely excited.
