Chapter 2651 2653【Picking up leaks】
?Jin Minzhi and Jin Runzhi both wanted to buy antiques in the store, because they did not have much research on antiques and it was difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake. The antiques in the store are relatively authentic, so you won''t end up buying fakes.
Xiang Nan wanted to hunt for treasures at the stall. Although there are many genuine antiques in the store, they are also quite expensive. A piece of Ming and Qing porcelain can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
"Yanxi, come with us to the store to buy. If you buy at a stall, be careful of being cheated." Jin Minzhi and Jin Runzhi advised.
?The goods on the street stalls praise them for ninety-nine lies and one truth, but they are not considered praise or criticism for ninety-nine lies or one truth. If you spend a lot of money but buy a fake product as a birthday gift, wouldn''t you lose your wife and lose your army?
“Let’s take a stroll first.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
?With his ability, it is really not easy for him to get an eye shot.
??He inherited all of Ji Xiaolan''s talents and knowledge, inherited Cheng Jianjun''s experience in imitating porcelain, and also hoarded a large number of antiques in the world of "Little Shede".
?Especially in the worlds of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and "Sword Rain", he personally visited the Song and Ming dynasties and knew the customs and aesthetic trends of the time very well, so it was not easy to deceive him.
Jin Minzhi and Jin Runzhi had no choice but to nod when they saw this.
…
Wandering around, Xiang Nan''s eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped in front of a street stall.
“Show me that stone.” He then pointed to a jade carving.
??I saw that it was a jade sculpture of a human figure, with huge eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, sitting in a kneeling position, wearing a crown on his head, with a serious face and no anger or authority.
"Uncle, you have such good taste. This is an ancient jade, at least it can be traced back to the Han Dynasty." Seeing Xiang Nan''s well-dressed and domineering appearance, the stall owner knew that Xiang Nan must come from a wealthy family, and immediately said with a smile on his face.
"Bah, you really think I don''t know what I''m selling. The jade carvings of the Han Dynasty are simple, straight and powerful, the style is powerful and broad, and natural and bold. The carving of your jade is rough, the shape is weird, and the color is not correct. I can''t even see it clearly. Come on. Could it be that you carved it yourself two days ago?" Xiang Nan curled his lips.
“You are joking, I don’t have that kind of craftsmanship. This is really an ancient jade, and I would never dare to lie,” the stall owner said immediately.
“How much does it cost?” Xiang Nan asked again.
When the stall owner heard this, he quickly stretched out his sleeves and wanted to hold hands with Xiang Nan. He also called "gold swallowing in sleeves" to prevent the third party from knowing.
"Just tell me, whoever has the patience to fight with you will do it." Xiang Nan said with a look of disgust.
“Yes.” The stall owner then pointed out three fingers.
“Thirty oceans?” Xiang Nan curled his lips.
“No, three hundred oceans.” The vendor said quickly.
“Well, keep it for yourself and play with it slowly.” Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan threw it back to him and said.
“Hey, uncle, uncle, don’t leave. How much money are you willing to pay?” Seeing this, the stall owner shouted quickly.
"Thirty oceans at most, and I won''t buy even a penny more." Xiang Nan turned around and said.
"Well, you are my first customer today. I just want to get a good start." The stall owner nodded, "Thirty oceans, I''ll sell it to you."
Xiang Nan nodded, took out thirty oceans, and bought the jade carving.
…
“Lao Qi, this jade sculpture looks weird. Why did you spend thirty yuan to buy it?” Jin Minzhi looked at the jade sculpture and asked doubtfully.
“It’s okay, I just think it’s fun.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
?This jade, if he read it correctly, should have been unearthed from Sanxingdui. The shape is unique and unparalleled in the world.
Sanxingdui was officially discovered in 1929 and officially excavated in 1934. At this time, it was only 1922, so the Sanxingdui civilization was not well known, and naturally no one would come here to fake it.
??The stall owner didn’t know that it was produced in Sanxingdui. He saw that it had a weird shape, rough carving, and not very good material, so he didn’t pay much attention to it and sold it for 30 yuan.
After the Sanxingdui Civilization became famous all over the world, this jade statue became a top national treasure, worth more than 30,000 yuan. It can be said to be a big bargain.
“Don’t spend money indiscriminately, you should buy some good things.” Jin Runzhi advised. Xiang Nan nodded and continued shopping.
“Boss, I have collected these books.” He said after rummaging through an old bookstall, he selected a few old books.
“Young master, just give me thirty yuan.” The stall owner glanced at the stall and said.
“Five yuan at most.” Xiang Nan shook his head and said.
?The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Please add a little more."
“Six yuan, no more,” Xiang Nan said upon seeing this.
“Okay, six yuan, just six yuan.” The stall owner could only say.
Xiang Nan immediately paid for the book, then selected one and gave it to Jin Minzhi.
"Lao Qi, is there anything strange about this book?" Jin Minzhi saw that the book was really worn out and couldn''t help but asked in confusion.
“Sister, this is the Song Dynasty version of the Nanhua Sutra.” Xiang Nan explained.
??Although the boss didn''t pay attention because the inscription and postscript were eaten away by insects, Xiang Nan still identified it.
“Really?!” Jin Minzhi also has a background in Chinese studies, so he naturally knows how precious Song edition books are. Not to mention six ocean dollars, even six thousand ocean dollars may not be possible.
"Really! The font, the binding, the paper and ink are all written by the Song Dynasty." Xiang Nan explained, "The most important thing is its name - Songxitang, which was a bookstore in Lin''an in the Southern Song Dynasty."
“Seventh brother, how do you know this?” Jin Minzhi asked in surprise.
Jin Runzhi was also a little surprised.
??Jin Yanxi has never liked reading. She only knows about eating, drinking, having fun, and having **** with men and women. Now she can even recognize the Song Dynasty version of the book, which really impresses them.
“I also heard from my teacher a few years ago that he had an out-of-print book from the Song Dynasty, which was printed by Songxitang.” Xiang Nan explained.
“It seems like you are really making a difference.” Jin Minzhi and Jin Runzhi both laughed.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan helped buy a large landscape axis from the Ming Dynasty.
Because there is no signature on the painting, although the painting is good, the price is not high.
Xiang Nan recognized that this painting was the work of Wen Zhengming, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty.
?At that time, in the world of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he was regarded as a mage who protects the country. He hung a pot to help the world, and there were countless living people, so he was loved by the people.
??The gentry class was also happy to associate with him, singing poems and poems to each other, and discussing calligraphy and painting arts. Among them was Wen Zhengming.
?Hence Xiang Nan was very familiar with his paintings, so he naturally recognized that this large landscape scroll was the work of Wen Zhengming.
“Seventh brother, what’s so special about this painting?” Jin Runzhi asked curiously.
Xiang Nan smiled and pointed to a landscape on the axis, "Sixth sister, please look carefully and see what those two characters are?"
?Jin Runzhi took a closer look and then said in surprise, "Zheng Ming?!"
"That''s right. This is a painting that Wen Zhengming made for Emperor Jiajing, so he is not allowed to leave a name or inscription. But he also wanted to let the world know that he made this painting, so he hid the inscription in a hidden place." Xiang Nan explained .
?Jin Minzhi and Jin Runzhi were suddenly enlightened and then greatly shocked.
Wen Zhengming’s calligraphy and paintings were already very popular in the Ming Dynasty. Now in the Republic of China, his calligraphy and paintings have reached sky-high prices. If this painting is truly an authentic work by Wen Zhengming, even 10,000 yuan would not be able to withstand it.
When Xiang Nan bought it just now, it only cost one hundred yuan because it had no signature or signature. It can be said that it was really cheap.
