The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 463 Fake Paintings

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Bai Meixi arrived at Granny Liang's house on time, preparing to pick her up and go to her sister's house. She was very pressed for time today and could not afford to delay.

"Grandma Liang, are you at home? I'm here!"

Bai Meixi shouted before she entered the door. Unexpectedly, she saw something in a large courtyard as soon as she entered. An old lady about the same age as Liang Po sat in the courtyard with Po Liang. When she saw Bai Meixi Just come over and say hello.

"Girl, this is Granny Zhang. These things all belong to her. I heard that you were leaving this afternoon, so I took the time to pack them out. If you like them, take them all."

Grandma Liang's sister heard that this was her last chance, so she took out all the things she had packed at the bottom of the box. Her family seemed to be poor in recent years, but they had a lot of hidden things. The old man in her family dug one in the woods. The cellar imitated the structure of an ancient tomb, and all these things were buried in it. It is still well preserved after being dug out.

It's just that Granny Liang's identity is sensitive after all, and the place at home is small. There has been something wrong with so many things in her yard. It can only be said that they are the things from Granny Liang's distant relatives. She felt fresh and came here to take a look.

Granny Liang had made it very clear to Bai Meixi that she had long been regarded as one of her own, and she had not concealed the relationship between the two of them as sisters. However, the things in the yard caused Bai Meixi to be in trouble. Granny Zhang sent her to her. There were eight big boxes of food. Bai Meixi was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat so much food.

She weighed the more than 1000 yuan in her hand and felt that it might not be enough.

"Girl, look, my old man has spent his whole life on these things, and even when he died, he would never forget these things. Now that someone is interested in them, it can be regarded as an explanation for him."

Granny Zhang asked Bai Meixi to choose at will. Today, besides Xiaojun, there were three children standing in the yard. The other two were Xiaojun's best friends. In order to make more money before Bai Meixi left, he asked himself Two of his buddies helped with the purchase, and the price they gave was between the price of the scrap and the price given by Bai Meixi, from which they earned another price difference.

Today's big business naturally involves the presence of the two of them. They made too much noise this time. The people in their yard are all friends of Granny Liang, but not necessarily others. Two people must be watching outside. Lest anyone be jealous of the money they made and go to the streets to report them.

Bai Meixi originally thought they were too cautious, but after these people removed the yellowed newspapers on the boxes, she found that it was really necessary to hire two more bodyguards. The eight boxes brought by Granny Zhang were all antique. The antique color is actually made of small leaf red sandalwood.

Grandpa Zhang’s family used these boxes as coffins and sealed them with yellow mud and yellow paper. This method and material can keep the contents of the boxes from getting wet and without any damage. In the past, when dignitaries were buried Often using coffins made of this material can ensure that your body and burial objects do not decay.

Bai Meixi couldn't help but feel excited. The wood from these boxes was extremely valuable for collection. If kept well, it could be made into bead chain bracelets in the future, and the value would be thousands of times higher than now.

Bai Meixi's hands touched these boxes. The wood felt very good, and she had decided to take them all down.Xiaojun opened these things one by one. Five of the boxes were imitations of famous calligraphy and paintings. Tang Bohu and Qi Baishi had everything. These paintings were large and small, including landscapes and figures. Each painting had a signature, seal, and scroll. It's either small-leaf red sandalwood or high-quality mahogany. Even if it has been placed underground for many years, the wood grain on it is not dry and cracked, and it is also rich in oil. Such a good preservation method is really rare in the world, and it is difficult even in modern society. It can be done.

"Girl, what do you think of these paintings? They are all very good." Granny Liang also felt that there were a lot of things today. It was normal for Bai Meixi not to accept them all. She just hoped that she could accept more. It would not be in vain. They brought things here from so far away.

"It's really good."

Bai Meixi gave a very fair evaluation. These paintings were copied so vividly and beautifully that Bai Meixi was completely stunned. She had seen the paintings of Tang Baihu and Qi Baishi many times in magazines, and they were the same as those placed in front of her. The scrolls are exactly the same.

If these things are true, this old man will definitely be as rich as the country. Even if it is a high imitation, it still has a lot of artistic value.

"Grandma Liang, I want all these paintings. Let's measure them together."

Bai Meixi carefully put away these paintings. She and Granny Liang measured the size of these paintings together. The five large boxes totaled 5 square feet, which is 615 yuan.

Among the remaining three wooden boxes, one contained more than 3 fake seals and ink pads for imitation. Bai Meixi priced them according to the price at which the seals were purchased before, a total of 700 yuan.

Another large box contained various brushes and inkstones. Bai Meixi took a closer look and saw that some of those inkstones were of good quality, much like the legendary Duan Inkstone. This kind of inkstone would be very valuable in the future, and the other brushes were also good. , most of them are fine Yanghao pens, with patterns engraved on the pen barrels, and some of the pen boxes have the words "Hu Bi" written on them.

The best pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the world are Hu pens, Hui ink, rice paper and Duan inkstones. Now this box contains Hu pens, Duan inkstones and Hui ink. It will definitely increase in value in the future. Bai Meixi valued this box at 200 yuan.
The last box contained different types of rice paper and a dozen clay pots filled with various colors of paint. Most of these pottery pots were white with cyan patterns on them. Bai Meixi couldn't tell their age, so she could only This box of things is tentatively priced at 100 yuan, plus 8 boxes of 85 yuan, for a total of 1300 yuan. This amount of money can already buy two houses in Puhai City in this era, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

"Give these really to me." When Bai Meixi counted out a stack of banknotes, Granny Zhang was shocked. She had enough money to spend the rest of her life. She looked at Bai Meixi and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

"Of course they are all for you. These are things your family has accumulated over the years and are worth so much money." Bai Meixi put all the money into Granny Zhang's hands and told her to put it in the bank as soon as possible. To avoid being taken away at home.

"Girl, don't worry, I will definitely collect the money. We have many ways to hide money, which are more effective than leaving it in the bank." Granny Zhang collected the money. The old man in her family had been a bit of a digger and robber in the past. It was easy to hide something, so she put all the money in a secret pocket, took the two children at the door, and went home happily.
