In the days when I was forced to become a Feng Shui master

The Treasure Appraisal Conference was not held in the building that Yu Ning entered yesterday, but in another place in its backyard. This building is about three stories high, and the design inside is the same as that of the Bihaitianqing Building in front. , is also back-shaped, but there are only three sides with seats, and the north-facing side is a high platform, the rear is covered by a curtain, and attendants turn out from behind the curtain with things from time to time, busy in the hall.

The name of this building is also very interesting, called Haitian Yise.

Mr. Mei and Gu Guoshi got out of the car, and Yu Ning and his three senior brothers consciously went up to clear the way. At this time, Shaodong Lu's house was outside the door. Seeing Mr. Mei walking slowly, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Lu Bo of Lu Yun Commercial Company has seen Mr. Mei Bob."

Mr. Mei nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Young master is free of courtesy."

The third senior brother stood by the side and quickly gave Lu Shaodong's family a wink. Lu Shaodong's family understood and said: "Master's Shenzi box is always reserved, please."

"Thank you, Young Master." Mr. Mei's face was really not very good, and he didn't mean to greet Lu Shaodong's family. The Shaodong family led the way for him.

Yu Ning winked at Lu Shaodong's house from behind, and made a gesture of silence—his master is not in a good mood at the moment, and the string of silver hazel silk incense ball hanging on Mr. Mei's waist before leaving the house in the morning loosened for some reason. The incense ball fell to the ground and broke into two halves.He has only started using this thing for a few days, and it was when he loved it so much that he wore it close to his body. Now that the incense ball is broken, he naturally doesn't have a good face.

Along the way, even Gu Guoshi didn't dare to say anything, lest he offend Mr. Mei and get scolded again.

Lu Shaodong's family gave Yuning a thankful smile, and led them to the box.

The Shenzi box is located on the third floor, and there are only these twelve boxes on the entire third floor. The third senior brother explained to Yu Ning in a low voice: "This box is reserved for the master by Bihaitianqinglou for a long time...every room here Everyone has an owner, even if the owner of a certain treasure appraisal meeting does not come, he will not let others in."

Yuning blinked: "So the master is so powerful?"

"Of course." The third senior brother showed a hint of pride on his face: "Master is No. 1 in the industry."

"Master is awesome." Yu Ning nodded again and again, and whispered: "I used to feel embarrassed to praise Master as the best in the world, but now I can praise it openly."

The third brother had a smile in his eyes, but he patted his hand, signaling him not to talk nonsense in public.

There was a round table next to the window in the private box, and four stools were placed on it. I don't know if it was just like that, or if Bihaitianqinglou knew that there were four of them, so they put four stools.Mr. Mei took the main seat, Gu Guoshi sat beside him, and the third senior brother sat on the other side of Mr. Mei, so Yu Ning had to sit with Gu Guoshi.

Lu Shaodong's family solemnly handed over a beautiful and thick album: "Master Mei, all the auction items in today's treasure appraisal meeting are here."

album?Yu Ning knows that many auctions will prepare a picture book, but it is all printed from photos, and he has never seen a hand-painted one.Yu Ning was also curious about how this album could present the style of those auction items. He couldn't see clearly when he was sitting here, so he simply stood behind Mr. Mei and looked at the album together with him.

Mr. Mei turned a page, and sure enough, the first page was "Mountain Shadow Screen", the posthumous work of Master Jiang from the previous dynasty. Due to the size relationship, only part of the picture on the Shanying screen is drawn.On the left side of the painting, there is a separate blank page, which tells the past and present of Shanyingping.

Mr. Mei didn't move his eyebrows. He turned the page outwards and turned it over and over again a few times. Unexpectedly, a continuous page of drawing paper was found at the bottom of this page. up.

Lu Shaodong's family explained: "The Shanying Screen has appeared for the first time in decades, and only one page is too much for people to see. Therefore, the younger generation has the courage to ask the painter to draw all of it after reducing it according to a certain ratio. But it can also be counted as a person with both form and spirit.”

"Have you wasted a lot of effort?" Mr. Mei nodded, his face paled slightly: "It's still intentional."

Lu Shaodong's family showed a shy smile: "The younger generation is also somewhat selfish. When Shanying has a new owner, I am afraid that it will not be seen again for a hundred years. With such rubbings, the younger generation can also comfort the pain of lovesickness."

The third senior brother also nodded slightly. Obviously, what Lu Shaodong said was very suitable for him. Seeing that Mr. Mei was looking at the picture album intently, he joked in a low voice: "I knew you had such a good thing, I would have brought it back to the master yesterday." Appreciate it."

Lu Shaodong rubbed his nose and replied: "There is only this book in the whole Bihaitian brothel. If you take it, my father will beat me to death."

Mr. Mei looked at this page of Shanying Screen for a long time, and then carefully folded the album back to the original. The things behind it were just rough and rough. After finishing the album, he suddenly felt something. Ning Zheng was watching seriously behind him, and asked, "What do you like? Just say it straight."

Yuning answered honestly: "Shanyingping, nothing else."

Mr. Mei closed the album, handed it back to Shaodong Lu's family, and said casually: "I wanted to give you two things as a present, but since you didn't like it, that's all."

"..." Yu Ning: "Otherwise I'll take another look?"

"It is possible." Lu Shaodong's family handed the picture album to Yuning, and also recommended two pieces by the way: "The Ruyi ring with auspicious patterns of the Zhou Dynasty on the 25th of the B and the tide of the famous prostitute Murong Miaomiao of the Yong Dynasty on the 33rd." The pianos are all handed down from generation to generation, Junior Brother Yu can see if they are to his liking."

Yu Ning also carefully flipped through the picture album, flipping through the pages according to the code of Lu Shaodong's family. Mr. Mei wanted to make Yu Ning be careful about the picture album, but he didn't expect to see him so cautious.It's also Yu Ning's fault, she is always very coquettish in front of Mr. Mei, but Mr. Mei was surprised when he was so calm today. He asked, "What's wrong today?"

Yu Ning said without raising his head: "This thing is very expensive, master!"

"..." Mr. Mei was about to reprimand him when he heard Yu Ning continue: "Master, think about it, if this picture album is lucky to be preserved after thousands of years, and the collection on it is damaged or destroyed What's more, even the dynasty may be annihilated in the torrent of time. At that time, posterity can only rely on this picture album to know that there is still a Qing Dynasty, and there are so many treasures in Qing, so Explore the owners of these things and their stories."

"At that time, there may be storytellers and popular actors who will sing these stories to the world...maybe they will be written in books and put in textbooks...student books. At that time, as long as someone mentions that thing , it can tell the life of its owner, isn’t this the so-called famous history? Isn’t this album precious enough?”

The people present were startled, none of them expected Yu Ning to say such words, Mr. Mei's eyes became more thoughtful, as if he was immersed in the world after a thousand years.

When Yu Ning said this, he turned to No. A 33 recommended by Lu Shaodong's family. While looking at the vermilion jade piano, he said: "It's like the master has repaired so many antiques over the years. If a few pieces can survive, they will be able to find the seal of the master, and they will know that there was a master named Mei Ruo in the Qing Dynasty... It is like mentioning Shanyingping, and we know that it is the posthumous work of Master Jiang, a master of Jiangnan jade carving in the Yong Dynasty Similarly, can’t we memorize Master Jiang’s life by heart?”

When Yu Ning and his three senior brothers heard this, they gave Yu Ning a hard look, and couldn't help reminding: "Master Jiang is from Shangjing."

As soon as these words came out, the fascination in everyone's eyes was completely shattered.

Mr. Mei had a cold face, even Master Jiang could be wrong about who he was, so what Yuning answered yesterday was obviously a random guess, right?Mr. Mei was so angry that he bent his fingers and tapped the table with his knuckles: "Yu Ning."

Yu Ning was called out, and abruptly said, "Master, I like this, you buy it for me!" Swallowing the words, he quickly closed the album and handed it back to Shaodong Lu's family. He didn't dare to change his mouth and said: "Master, I was wrong. I will recite it carefully when I go back, and I will embarrass you if I don't come out!"

Mr. Mei still didn't speak, Yu Ning was so seen by Mr. Mei that he almost knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"Okay." Gu Guoshi stretched out his hand on the table and pulled down Mr. Lamei's sleeve: "Ah Yu is still young, don't be too harsh."

Mr. Mei took another deep look at Yu Ning, and then he stopped staring at him condensedly.

Yu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and dog-leggedly snatched the servant's work to pour tea for the master. Shaodong Lu's family saw that he was so attentive, so they couldn't help coughing twice, and smoothed things over: "Junior brother Yu is worthy of being an uncle." The closed-door disciples have such insightful insights, just as Junior Brother Yu said, after the Treasure Appreciation Conference is over, the younger generation will ask people to perfect this picture album again, so as to leave it to future generations."

Only then did Mr. Mei look better, and Young Master Lu's family hurriedly said, "The treasure appraising meeting is about to begin, and this junior will take his leave first."

"Go." Mr. Mei nodded and let him go.

"I'll send Senior Brother Lu off." Yu Ning found an excuse and went out with Lu Shaodong's family. When they reached the door, Lu Shaodong's family couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Yu, don't send it off, Mr. Mei looks at it." Very angry."

"It's okay, I would like to thank Senior Brother Lu for complimenting me." Yu Ning closed the door with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Since the Young Master intends to perfect this picture book, why don't you print a few more copies, don't let it become a lonely copy. "

"Why is this?"

"Or just sell it on a large scale, so that it can be kept in the world." Yu Ning also knew that with such precision, there should be no way to print it on a large scale-even if Lu Yun Commercial Company dared to invest a huge amount of money to print it, it would be worth buying it. There are not many people who start it, and these days, everything from paper to paint can only be enjoyed by the rich. "If only one copy is kept, it is certainly precious... Brother Lu, it is also a thing from the previous dynasty. Is it easier to get the copper coins from the time of the last Emperor Xiandi, or is it easier to get Master Jiang's posthumous work?"

"The wide spread of Emperor Xian's money is naturally incomparable with Master Jiang's posthumous works." After the change of dynasty, it is natural to replace the mother's money and re-sell it. Emperor Xian of the Yong Dynasty reigned for more than [-] years, and the number of copper coins cast was inestimable. Now, more than a hundred years later, if you look for an antique dealer on the road, you can find a few pieces of money dedicated to the emperor from the bag.

"It's the same reason." Yu Ning saw the understanding expression on the face of Lu Shaodong's family, he said: "Then I will go in first, Senior Brother Lu will meet again."

"Goodbye."

Yu Ning turned around and went into the treasure chest, just as someone in the venue blew a gong, an old man dressed in calm and luxurious clothes was supported by others and went up to the high platform, and a rich and handsome steward dressed in geese raised his voice: "The cultural relics of the Six Dynasties are in the sky. , the sky is light and the clouds are idle, the present and the past are the same. [①]”

The old man took a piece of red cloth from his attendant, dusted it three times on the red sandalwood table in front of him, and the manager at the side raised his voice, "Appreciation meeting, the market is open—!"
