The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 460 Tang Bohu

"Grandma Liang, who painted these two paintings!" Bai Meixi unfolded the scroll and her eyes widened in shock at the content inside. The words "Tang Bohu" were actually written on the signature of this painting!

Moreover, the brushwork of these two paintings is elegant and natural, and the outline of the character lines is completed in one stroke without any breaks or repairs. This one-stop painting method is indeed unique to Tang Bohu.

Bai Meixi naturally knows how valuable Tang Bohu's paintings are. Very few of his paintings have been passed down to the world, and most of them have been collected in museums. In the auction market of modern society, they are regarded as national treasures of the first level, pandas, which can be seen in the world. His paintings are worth at least tens of millions.

Even ordinary people have heard of such a famous painter. Granny Liang and her sister both come from wealthy families, so they must know the value of Tang Bohu's paintings.I'm afraid these two paintings have been their family heirlooms for many years. Now that they are in bad luck and they are short of money, they want to pawn them.

Bai Meixi calculated the money in her hand and felt that she could not afford these two paintings, not to mention that she did not know much about the paintings. If they were fakes, she would suffer huge losses.

"These two paintings were also painted by the old man from my sister's family. They were imitated from Tang Bohu's beauty paintings. Both of them are fakes, but they are very similar. Many collectors can't tell, so they bought them as originals."

Granny Liang did not want to deceive Bai Meixi, so she directly stated that these two paintings were not Tang Bohu's authentic works. Her relatives made many fake calligraphy and paintings of famous people to make a living before liberation. At that time, many rich people wanted to show off their taste. They didn't even know how to spend a lot of money on calligraphy and paintings in an antique shop. Those people became lambs to be slaughtered, allowing the owner of the antique shop and her relatives to make a huge profit.

But since the liberation, no one has bought the real paintings, let alone fake calligraphy and paintings. She collected all the unsold ones at home, waiting for one day to make a comeback, but after waiting for decades, these paintings were not sold. Go, now everyone is waiting for Bai Meixi to turn over.

"How much do these calligraphy and paintings cost?" Bai Meixi felt that these calligraphy and paintings were copied well. The old man not only imitated Tang Bohu's painting method, but also carved a seal and forged a signature. Since he could deceive many people in the past, he will follow the high imitation in the future. If you sell it, you won't lose money.

"Of course it's 1 yuan per square foot. You've taken such good care of us during this period, how can we charge you too much?" Granny Liang is very realistic. If these paintings are sold as fake, they will cost at least dozens of yuan each, but The person she is facing is Bai Meixi, and she cannot do anything against her conscience.

Bai Meixi thought about it and felt that these paintings were very good imitations, and it would be good to put them in the house to look at in the future. She nodded and decided to accept all the paintings.

"Do you want them all? My relative has more than 200 paintings!" Granny Liang's eyes instantly shone brightly. According to the area of ​​more than 200 paintings, she will get at least 60 yuan in commission. This money is very valuable to her. But it was a huge sum of money. If this business was successful, plus the money Bai Meixi had given before, she and Xiaojun would not have to worry about food expenses next year.

"So many?" Bai Meixi underestimated the amount of these paintings. She originally thought that Granny Liang only had thirty or forty paintings in her hands. There were more than 200 paintings plus Xiaojun's money for collecting waste paper and the commission given to Granny Liang. , which costs at least seven or eight hundred yuan. If she buys them all, her personal money will be almost exhausted.

"It's a bit more, but don't worry, none of these paintings are the same. You should take a look at the paintings first before making a decision." Seeing Bai Meixi's hesitation, Granny Liang quickly added, the same goes for imitation paintings. There is a market, and according to the rules of her relatives' house, no more than three copies of any painting can be made, and these paintings must be sold in different places to avoid interfering with each other.After liberation, her relatives collected these paintings and secretly painted some more in their spare time. Since there were no sales channels, he only copied one of each painting, and it took time and effort to build the current scale.But because there are so few copies, it is easier to mistake the fake for the real one. As long as the collection market opens again, Bai Meixi will definitely make a lot of money.

Bai Meixi looked at the two paintings again and found that the paper of the two paintings was very authentic. They were at least hundreds of years old. They were slightly corroded and aged, forming a layer of light yellow age on them. .

The scrolls of these two paintings were even more exquisite. The dark purple color exuded a sense of nobility. Bai Meixi held it hard and felt that the scrolls of the two paintings were very hard. They were probably small-leaf rosewood. If they were real , with this scroll alone, the cost of this painting can be earned back hundreds of times in the future.

"These papers look very special. They are different from the previous paintings. Have they been processed in any way?"

Bai Meixi told Granny Liang her doubts. She had carefully looked at her grandfather's paintings before. Although those paintings were good, the paper was very ordinary, which was rice paper that could be bought in ordinary stores.Mounted on a scroll.The texture of that scroll was also very average and could not be compared with what we saw today.

"Imitation paintings are different from ordinary paintings. Not only the painting method must be imitated, but the paper scrolls must also look like those of that era. I heard from my relative that they spent a lot of money to buy these things, otherwise they would My family’s wealth will not be wiped out so quickly.”

Grandma Liang kept sighing when she talked about this matter. At that time, imitation paintings could not be sold. Everyone asked the old man to stop and take a look at the situation, but he just said that now was a good time to stock up on goods. Behind his sister's back, he spent all the family money to buy wood and paper. He thought he would be able to sell the imitation paintings to make money after a while. Unexpectedly, they did not transfer the money for decades, leaving only a lot of money that could not be converted into cash. thing.

Po Liang's words made Bai Meixi secretly happy. Although Tang Bohu's paintings were imitations, the drawing papers and scrolls were real. Even if they were not from Tang Bohu's period, they were at least from the Ming Dynasty and would be equally valuable in the future.

"In that case, you can bring the painting over tomorrow. If there is no problem, I will accept it." After thinking for a moment, Bai Meixi agreed to the matter, preparing to add to her collection business. An important one.

"Let's do this. You and I will go to my relatives' place tomorrow. It's not convenient for me to pick up so many paintings by myself. If she's here, she can help you talk about it." Granny Liang asked Bai Meixi to go directly to the place where the paintings are stored to pick up the goods. It would be much more convenient. .

Bai Meixi also agreed with this. She and Granny Liang agreed on a time, so she packed up her things and pushed the car to an uninhabited corner outside. When she saw no one around, she instantly flashed her body into the space. Today She was really exhausted all day long.
