antique masters in modern times

"Liang Zi, come here quickly, and I will introduce you."

The dormitory is very small, only a dozen square meters, and the furniture is all old things left over from the past, most of which lack arms and legs.Zhu Daosheng was afraid that he would break the rickety triangular chair of the Yan family, so he just stood and greeted: "This is Grandma Luo, and this is the Yan You that I often mentioned to you. Thanks to him, I didn't— Well, anyway, you understand."

Almost leaking, Zhu Dao paused for a moment, and then said to Yanyou: "This is Liangzi, my best friend since I was a child. He used to be called Liang Zhongguo. Last year, to celebrate the establishment of the Huaxia football team, I hoped that the national football team would dominate Asia and go to the world. , renamed Liang Guozu."

"Hi Yanzi, I've heard the second senior brother talk about you all the time, today I can be regarded as seeing a real person." Liang Zi originally wanted to shake hands with Yanyou, but just as he stretched out his palm, he saw streaks of black motor oil in his palm, so he had to smile embarrassedly Laughing: "I got my hands dirty when tossing that broken car just now. I saw a ditch outside and wanted to wash it, but it was delayed and I couldn't wash it."

Yan You saw him arguing with a little old man just now, so he naturally knew what his so-called delay was.He didn't notice the hostile look in the old liar's eyes, and it was too inconvenient for him to ask more questions because of his acquaintance, so he just smiled: "If you want to wash your hands, the bathroom is at the end of the corridor, and I'll get you the soap."

He didn't ask, and Liang Zi, who was worried about his illness, would not take the initiative to bring up what happened just now.After saying thanks, he picked up the soap and left the room.

Zhu Dao put the rice noodles he had brought into the cabinet, and walked around the dormitory, feeling really cramped, and a certain thought in his heart couldn't help becoming more determined.

"Grandma Luo, I heard that you have only moved here for a few days, are you used to living here?"

"Fortunately, I have lived in a bungalow for decades, and now I am a little uncomfortable climbing up and down every day."

Zhu Dao immediately continued: "Grandma, please hold on for a few more days. Yan You paid me a salary in advance, and asked me to help him contact the workers. When the manpower here is full, the house will be built immediately. It won't take long, you guys We can move back."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Grandma Luo was stunned on the spot, but Yan You was also stunned.

But he quickly realized, and immediately pulled Zhu Dao aside: "What do you mean by that?"

"Brother Yan, I didn't discuss it with you first, because I was afraid that you would disagree. In fact, I have long wanted to help you settle the house, but I have too many things to pay homage to the Yue family, and I am nervous, so I am not ashamed to speak. Now that you have earned Once I have reached a sum, I will add a little more to ensure that the house can be built. Even if it is built one day earlier, Grandma Luo will not suffer the crime of climbing up and down for a day." Zhu Dao persuaded him, he really wanted to do it for Yanyou Something.

Yan You originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't say anything.He has to watch the grandma carefully holding the wall up and down several times a day, and he looks forward to building the house as soon as possible more than anyone else.

Before, he wanted to wait a month or so to talk about it, because he was afraid that the sudden revelation of his wealth would attract people's suspicion.But Zhu Dao's words reminded him today: It is said that the money is borrowed, so can someone go to inquire about it?Now that Zhu Dao, a well-dressed and generous man, showed his face, is he afraid that he won't be able to stop others from talking?

After making up his mind, Yan You patted him on the shoulder: "Just do it like this. I'll tell the outside world that you borrowed the money. But there is one thing: you are not allowed to pay any money."

"...Ah?" Zhu Dao opened his mouth wide: "Then I am not like what was said in the recent TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

"It's a waste of reputation. You are not just a reputation. You have to help me find people to buy materials. I thank you in advance." Yan You said it seems to be an understatement, but he has already decided in his heart that he will repay this rare thing in the future. friendship.

Zhu Dao looks smooth on the outside, but actually he is quite old-fashioned and warm-hearted on the inside. Yan You appreciates this character very much.

In addition, Mo Lao's funding was also related to Zhu Dao. In the thinking of the old-school Yan You, he had long regarded Zhu Dao as his "lucky star" and decided to make a deep friendship with this friend.When my own affairs are on the right track, as soon as I have spare energy, I will help Zhu Dao realize his wish to do business.

At that moment, Yan You stopped Zhu Dao, who still wanted to talk, and "explained" the matter of "borrowing money" to grandma.I also asked Zhu Dao and Liang Zi to help contact masons and purchase bricks and cement, etc., and agreed to meet next week.

Because it was still early, the two left without leaving a meal.Yanyouji hung on Panjiayuan, and followed him out of the door.

He had only asked the general direction before, but now he was walking and asking, stopping and going, and it took nearly an hour to find the right place.

When he arrived at the gate, Yan You didn't care to take a breath, stared at the big characters "Panjiayuan Flea Market" on the top for a moment, and walked into the garden excitedly.

Looking around, I saw that there were facades converted from old buildings in the late Qing Dynasty, and there were also newly built cement bungalows.There are street stalls and stores, ranging from small inkstones and porcelain cups to large screen furniture, displaying things from various dynasties.The popularity of the park is not low. In front of almost every store, there are tourists looking around or looking at objects.

After a rough walk around, Yanyou found that the place was bigger than he imagined, but the heritage was not as profound as Liulichang.In several well-decorated stores, the precious and precious antiques locked in glass cabinets, which are obviously the treasures of the store, are not necessarily very precious.Compared with any century-old store in Liulichang, which had treasures that were not inferior to the collection of Kufu, it was obviously far behind.

But it's no wonder that Liulichang has accumulated two dynasties and has hundreds of years of heritage.Panjiayuan is just a newcomer, and it is inevitable that it will not be ready for a while.According to the current popularity, if it manages well, it is not impossible to catch up with or even surpass Liulichang in the future.

Yan You is very happy to find that antiques have not faded in modern life and are more sought after than before.If he is popular, his craftsmen can earn a living.

As soon as he was happy, his interest became higher, and he planned to look around to see how many treasures were hidden in this garden, and whether he could find any leaks.

At this time, the sound of conversation in front of a certain booth floated into his ears.

"What do you think of this Tang Sancai?"

"I think it's been a few years. You can see that the color and shape are similar to those mentioned in the book. But, do you think about it again?"

"I don't think it's bad either. That's the price... It's 180 yuan, which is equivalent to my salary for two or three months. I really can't bear it."

"If you buy it right, you will find a big leak, and you can earn several times if you resell it!"

"This is also..."

Hearing the two men's murmurs, Yanyou couldn't help becoming interested: During the period of the Republic of China, because the construction of the railway in Longhai destroyed the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty on Beiman Mountain in Luoyang, a group of pottery figurines were unearthed, and Tang Sancai began to be popular in the antique world. It became popular, and many foreign customers bought it by name, and it was hard to find a figurine in the market.Could it be that these two people were so lucky that they were able to pick up treasures on the street stall?

He looked back curiously, and just turned his eyes around the terracotta figurine in his hand, then he was stunned immediately, and then shook his head and laughed.

The Tang Sancai is in the shape of a Tang Dynasty lady, wearing a green dress and a yellow tube top, holding a white cloak in her hand.Green, yellow and white are the three main colors of Tang Sancai.The overall lines of the lady are beautiful and smooth, which is not bad, but the face that should have been as round as a silver basin has turned into a face with a pointed chin.

It should be known that in the Tang Dynasty, plump women were regarded as the beauty. In the paintings handed down to later generations, women's faces are full and round, and there is no oval face that is fashionable in later generations.Fortunately, those two people judged that it was genuine, and they were still worrying about whether to buy it or not.

Looking at the stall owner again, Yan You noticed that his expression seemed to be casual, but his eyes were full of light. It seemed that he had already spotted these two buyers who thought they were picking on the wrong things.

However, even though he saw through that it was a fake, Yan You didn't intend to remind him.There has always been an unwritten rule in the antique world: you can't make irresponsible remarks in person, it's bad business.

This is also to maintain order, otherwise, if you meet a villain who is jealous of the prosperous business of another family, muttering and making trouble when the customers are looking at the goods, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the innocent in vain?

And the truth is not light, rushing up is not a business.If Yanyou reminded those two people that this was a fake, instead of being grateful for his kindness, the other party would probably think that he also took a fancy to the Tang Sancai and wanted to snatch this treasure so he jumped out and pretended to be a good person.

For everything that will happen next, Yan You can guess everything that will happen with his eyes closed, and even imagine the tone of "reluctance" used by the stall owner to sell Tang Sancai to the smart customers.

He didn't want to read any more, but when he turned around and wanted to leave, something happened suddenly!

A hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd and pushed him hard.Caught off guard, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, right on the booth of the fake Tang Sancai!

There was a chaotic sound of ping, ping, pong, pong, and there were nearly a hundred pieces of porcelain in the booth, almost all of which were smashed to pieces by Yan You!
