Siheyuan: I am Liu Guangqi

When he has time, Liu Guangqi will go back to Liulichang and wander around, gain knowledge with Tong Fengquan, and learn how to appraise antiques. During the period, he naturally met Tong Fengquan's old enemy, shopkeeper Lan.

But the shopkeeper Lan now is no better than before. The shopkeeper Lan in the past was wearing silk and satin, with leather shoes on his feet, and his hair was so smooth that even flies couldn't land on it.The current shopkeeper Lan is as low-key as he wants, wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, stepping on a pair of authentic old BJ cloth shoes, and not even waxing his hair, looking like an original ecology.

What surprised Liu Guangqi was that the shopkeeper Lan actually knew him.After inquiring, he found out that the other party had actually seen the group photo of the newspaper, so his attitude towards Liu Guangqi was much better than that towards Tong Fengquan, and he even took the initiative to invite Liu Guangqi to sit in his shop.

To be honest, from this point, we can see why shopkeeper Lan can do a better business than Tong Fengquan. He is a well-rounded person, and no one can offend anyone. Anyone can become his friend, and if he becomes a friend, he will naturally be a potential customer.

In the blink of an eye, time came to December, and the vigorous anti-corruption movement was launched, but at the beginning, it was mainly the Three Antis, and the targets of the rectification were mainly the staff of the party and government organs.So ordinary people don't feel much about it, and it will probably have to wait until the Five Antis in February next year to affect the lives of ordinary people.

During this period, Liu Guangqi also received a package, which was sent to the school.Liu Guangqi opened the package and found a wad of money and a letter inside.It seems that there are 100 million yuan. After Liu Guangqi opened the letter, he discovered that it was actually sent to him by the XX Art Troupe.

The reason is that the other party used his song for performance.Liu Guangqi didn't know what the money meant, whether it was song royalties, or enough to buy copyrights.But Liu Guangqi doesn't care, as long as he has money, as far as the copyright awareness of Chinese people is concerned, by the time he realizes this problem, this song will have passed the 50-year copyright protection period.

With the arrival of the winter vacation, Liu Guangqi's time became more abundant again.

On the first day of the winter vacation, Liu Guangqi put on his thermal underwear under the quilt, and then glued some warm babies. These two things were made by Liu Guangqi from the space. There is no way for this old BJ to be too cold in winter. , Looking back now, Liu Guangqi doesn't even know how he persevered last year, he just wore a ragged padded jacket to endure the winter. It can only be said that young people are full of firepower.

He is not afraid of being discovered by others now. Anyway, this thing is worn next to the body. Whoever has nothing to do will take off other people's clothes to see what you are wearing. If he is found out, he will say that he got it from the Bai family. It's really a universal shield, as long as it involves any money and things, just push it on the Bai family, just like Liu Guangqi's family often eats white noodles, although the people in the courtyard are jealous, they can't say anything. The relationship between the Bai family.

Sitting in the medical center all morning and prescribing prescriptions all morning as usual, Liu Guangqi came to Tong Fengquan's shop in the afternoon, and the two agreed to teach him how to identify jade articles today.

"Treasurer Lan, why are you here?"

As soon as Liu Guangqi entered the door, he found that Tianhexuan's He Baobao was also sitting with Tong Fengquan.

"Didn't I hear that shopkeeper Tong is going to teach you how to identify gold, stone and jade? This is shopkeeper Tong's housekeeping skills. It is a must in our Liulichang. So I went to listen and learn, hahaha"

Shopkeeper Lan said with a bright smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, Liu Guangqi felt that this smile was a bit gloating, and it was obvious that the other party didn't come here because of this matter.

After taking a look at Tong Fengquan, he found that Tong Fengquan was frowning and frowning.However, because of Liu Guangqi's arrival, he still lifted his spirits, took out a few pieces of Ming and Qing ancient jade from the drawer, and then told Liu Guangqi in front of shopkeeper Lan.

"Our China has a long history, thousands of years up and down, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancients created countless things. These things may have been used objects at that time, but after hundreds of thousands of years Over the years, it has become a valuable antique.

Naturally, there are so many things that cannot be generalized, so the antique shop divides them into many categories according to their materials and uses, such as porcelain, furniture, bronzes, and calligraphy and painting. For example, Lan Treasurer is a master of calligraphy and painting. People give them the nickname Lan Banzhang, and they have never punched in."

Hearing Tong Fengquan praise himself, shopkeeper Lan's face, which was quite happy at first, suddenly turned dark.If you don't understand the filth of the two of them in the past, you definitely don't understand why Shopkeeper Lan changed his face.But Liu Guangqi knew it. Hearing Tong Fengquan's words, he immediately understood that Tong Fengquan was dissing Shopkeeper Lan.He almost couldn't hold back his laughter, so Liu Guangqi covered his mouth to prevent the two of them from noticing.

"In addition to these categories, there are miscellaneous items and jade jewelry. What I want to tell you today is jade wares. If you want to have both jade wares, you must first know how jade wares are made, how each mound is used, and how it is presented. What are the characteristics of the lines on the jade.

Just like these two jade wares, there is a hole on each of them. This hole is the drill and jade sand that is ground out bit by bit, because it is impossible for him to wear through such a thick jade all at once, he must need it. One or two days, then after the middle rest, the grinding position will deviate from the previous position, and this kind of non-concentric lines will be produced. "

To hollow out a large area like this, it is to drill the hollow first, then pass the string through it, put it on the jade sand to grind it bit by bit, and finally hollow out the whole jade, then this kind of staggered lines will be produced at the corners of this kind of jade.As for the small grains on the side, they are traces left by Jie Yusha.

As he said that, Tong Fengquan picked up a magnifying glass and pointed it at Gu Yu, then explained it to Liu Guangqi from the shallower to the deeper.It was the first time for Liu Guangqi to hear this kind of knowledge, which was much more interesting than seeing medical skills.

"In each era, its mounds and carving methods are different from before. These differences leave traces of that era when used on jade, such as Hanyu. The biggest feature of Hanyu is the carving with a hair knife. It’s like carving with a knife. It’s not necessary to use these traces; the age is popular to different patterns, and you can roughly judge the age of the jade. Of course, you need to pay more attention when encountering some antique jade. There is also patina... "

Tong Fengquan talked to Liu Guangqi for half an hour, afraid that Liu Guangqi would not be able to absorb so much at once, so he listened to it this time.

"Understand."

"I probably understand"

Liu Guangqi nodded, and understood the theory.But it still needs practice to verify the conjecture in my heart.

Chapter 76, Learning

As soon as Liu Guangqi had an idea, Tong Fengquan took out two identical jade pendants from the cabinet, put them in front of Liu Guangqi and said:

"Of these two pieces of jade, one is old and the other is new. You can point out which one is new and which one is old."

Liu Guangqi picked it up and looked left and right. They seemed to be the same, but there was something different, and they all had the characteristics they should have.Finally, relying on his vague feeling, Liu Guangqi picked out the part he thought was old.

"The same thing, why do you think this piece is old?"

Tong Fengquan looked at the jade pendant in Liu Guangqi's hand with a smile on his lips.

"I feel that this piece is too bright, and it looks a bit bright. This piece looks very comfortable, and the reflection is very restrained."

Liu Guangqi explained his reasons.

"Yes, you can already see the patina, then look at these two pieces"

Tong Fengquan nodded with a relieved smile, and then took out two pieces of jade from the drawer.

"This is new, this is old."

"Wrong, these two are old, but this one is a new imitation, you can't just look at it from the same, you have to judge it comprehensively, from the decoration, and the jade carving techniques of the craftsmen at that time."

"Look at these again.

As he spoke, Tong Fengquan took out a few more pieces of jade.

Judging from this, Liu Guangqi felt that his CPU was about to burn out, and it seemed that Jianbao was also a technical job.

Fortunately, Liu Guangqi has already learned how to look at patina. After learning this, at least he won't buy new things when he goes out. At most, he can't tell the age.

"Wait, Shopkeeper Tong, I'll take a break and change my mind."

After looking at a few more pieces of jade, Liu Guangqi told Tong Fengquan to stop, and his brain would explode after looking at it again.

"Okay, that's it for today. It's not easy to learn how to look at patina after half a day of hard work. This is the most difficult thing to learn. It's all based on feeling. I learned it after a long time. I didn't expect you to see the way after half a day of hard work. It seems that you are a natural material for learning antiques.

After you memorize the decoration, technique, shape, material characteristics and counterfeiting techniques of jade wares in each era, there is probably nothing to stop you on this jade. "

Tong Fengquan smiled and took the jade back, then poured Liu Guangqi a cup of tea.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Lan, why are you still here? No one is watching in the store."

Liu Guangqi turned his head to look, and found that our baby and our baby were still standing beside us.

"Hey, as far as the current market is concerned, people still need to look at it. The door is open and the mice don't go in. Don't sit there, don't you sit here and can talk with you. You say no."

Shopkeeper Lan laughed at himself.The words are miserable, but the reality is even worse. Since entering the city, this Liulichang has lost its former glory. Now the rich people still have the mind to buy antiques. They can either buy food with the money, or exchange the money for gold bars Hidden, the province will be public property one day.

"Since you are here, I happen to have a question about calligraphy and painting that I would like to ask you about. You are an expert in this field. I wonder if Shopkeeper Lan would like to teach you."

If there is wool and nothing to lose, the level of calligraphy and painting in front of him is beautiful. If he hadn't been too proud to be caught by Fan Wuye, he would never have lost his eye at the beginning.

"You said, you said, someone Lan must know everything and say everything."

Anyway, beating children on rainy days is also idle, and Lan Yigui doesn't mind being a teacher again.

"I often hear people say that the most important thing to distinguish calligraphy and painting is to see whether the charm of the painting is connected or not, and what the charm is."

Liu Guangqi raised a question, other things can be learned from books, but this thing is not mentioned in the book.

"Actually, the thing you mentioned is just like the patina on the jade. The appraisal of calligraphy and painting is mainly based on these aspects. With the advancement of papermaking technology, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, paper was mostly used. The second is to look at the skills. Every painter has his own habits and skills, which has something to do with the master or genre he came from. The style, Different painters like different things, so the painting styles are also different. Some like to be realistic, some like to be freehand, some like to paint landscapes, and some like to paint figures. There is also ink, ink of different eras It’s also different, like…”

Not to mention that shopkeeper Lan really has the talent to be a teacher, and he can teach one thing after another.

"The last is the Qiyun you mentioned. In fact, this is easy to understand. Let me give you an example and you will understand. Shopkeeper Tong, can I borrow a few pieces of paper."

Speaking of the key point, shopkeeper Lan suddenly made a request to Tong Fengquan.

"of course can."

Tong Fengquan agreed wholeheartedly, and took out a few pieces of letter paper from the cabinet.

"Okay, here is the paper, Liu Guangqi, please write a few of your names on it, don't use a pen, use a brush. A few more. Horizontal or vertical will do."

Although he didn't understand what Lan Yigui meant, Liu Guangqi still followed what the other party said, and filled several sheets of paper with his name, no more, no less, dozens of them. Fortunately, he had practiced brush calligraphy in his previous life. Otherwise, I really missed the timidity. .

"I'm done."

"Okay, I'll come. Just wait"

Lan Yigui took the paper from Liu Guangqi's hand, then picked up the scissors and cut it.After cutting, put four of them in front of Liu Guangqi, and then started his teaching.

"Here are four sheets of your name. Take a look at the first sheet you wrote. The pen is unrestrained, unrestrained and comfortable. It is written in one go. It is quite like the style of two kings."

As expected of a master in business, shopkeeper Lan just praised those three words, and Liu Guangqi felt a little embarrassed when he praised them. Although he wrote well, he definitely didn't reach the level that Lan Yigui said today.

"After talking about the first one, let's take a look at the next three and these two. You wrote the first Liu character well, but the last two characters are not as imposing. These three Liu characters are written in a small size. It’s just that the light characters are good, and so is the fourth one, and the last one is the most beautiful. Now let’s cut out these three and put them together, and you can take a look.”

Speaking of which, Lan Yigui cut out those few, and then put them together, Liu Guangqi immediately understood what Qiyun is.

"Can you see that even though they are all written by you, the first one is particularly pleasing to the eye, and although the latter one is the best part of the other three, it doesn't look too good. This is Qiyun.

Everyone who paints must be confident and free.What to paint here, what to paint there, how much ink to use here, how much space to leave there, where to start the pen, and where to finish it.

So everyone's paintings look very natural, smooth, and coordinated. On the other hand, those who imitate have seen the paintings of famous masters and then imitated them. They can't be as comfortable as famous masters.have you understood"

"Teach me, Shopkeeper Lan"

Liu Guangqi really didn't expect that he could get such a vivid teaching from the other party, from the simple to the deep, just by asking casually.In an instant, the doubts lingering in Liu Guangqi's mind were resolved as if the clouds were clearing the sun.

"Come on, I've finished talking, I should go too, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I wish you two good luck"

After speaking, Shopkeeper Lan cupped his hands and was about to leave.

"and many more."

Since he called him so earnestly, Liu Guangqi would feel a little embarrassed if he didn't return something in return, so Liu Guangqi decided to reveal some news to Lan Yigui in advance.

"Could it be that student Liu has any questions? If so, you can come to my Tianhexuan to sit down. I will explain it to you in detail."

Lan Yigui turned his head to look at Liu Guangqi and smiled.

"No need, I will come to the door when I have doubts some other day. I stopped shopkeeper Lan to remind shopkeeper Lan that the wind of the Three Rebellions is blowing more and more, and it might burn down this Liulichang one day.

At that time, I will definitely investigate everyone's past. After all, there are not a few national treasures who have gone out of Liulichang here, but I believe that shopkeeper Lan is definitely not such a person. If shopkeeper Lan buried something in front of and behind the house at home, you should dig it out early and hand it over to the government. "

That's all for now. Liu Guangqi has said everything that should be said, and what should not be said. Whether to hand it in, or to keep it by chance, it depends on what Lan Yigui himself does.

"Thank you, thank you for reminding me."

After listening to Liu Guangqi's words, Lan Yigui, who was originally calm and calm, broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead in the cold winter months.

He bowed to Liu Guangqi again, and then trotted all the way towards his home.

"This old boy must have done something unscrupulous. He was so scared that he was sweating."

Tong Fengquan looked at Lan Yigui's embarrassed back, and the resentment in his heart suddenly subsided a lot.

"What did he come for? Aren't you two rivals? Could it be New Year's greetings for you?"

Liu Guangqi took a sip of hot tea and asked.

"If he can give me New Year's greetings, the solar energy will come out from the west. He came to see me laughing. My store can't continue. The landlord said that if I can't pay the rent, I will be kicked out."

"Oh"

Liu Guangqi suddenly realized after hearing this, no wonder Lan Yigui looked gloating at first.But then Liu Guangqi had a doubt.

"Aren't you a whole house, why can't you even pay the rent?"

"It's a house full of stuff, but who bought it? To tell you the truth, it's been more than half a year, and you're the first customer to come into my house, and you haven't bought anything yet. I want to pay the rent for something, but the landlord doesn't want it. They want money, and they're waiting to ask for money to buy food. What do you think I should do. You can't just stay here, the landlord and his family are not easy."

Tong Fengquan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Okay, make up your own mind, I can't help you with this trouble, I'm leaving."

With such a big appearance, the estimated one-year rent is quite a lot, which is obviously beyond Liu Guangqi's ability. Even if he can help him, he won't help him. Opening an antique shop these days is obviously a loss-making business.

"By the way, what I said just now was not just for shopkeeper Lan. You should also think about it carefully and see if you have hidden something. Don't wait until you remember it. The building is built and digging it will be troublesome."

Chapter 77, time flies

"By the way, what I said just now was not just for shopkeeper Lan. You should also think about it carefully and see if you have hidden something. Don't wait until you remember it. The building is built and digging it will be troublesome."

Walking to the door, Liu Guangqi's sudden outburst made Tong Fengquan stare wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost.

After Liu Guangqi left, Tong Fengquan closed the door without saying a word, and came to the place where he buried the Siyang Fangzun. Seeing the fire brigade building whose foundation had already been laid, Tong Fengquan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly searched for a fire brigade from his home. With a shovel, I didn't care about the cold wind in the cold winter night, and dug things out overnight.

Neither Tong Fengquan nor Lan Yigui fell asleep that night, one was looking at Siyang Fangzun on the table, and the other was looking at the open space in the courtyard.

However, neither of them made any special moves the next day, and everything was as usual, the door should be opened, and the book should be read.In the final analysis, the two are still businessmen, and they are lucky, and they will not die until the end.But this is also human nature.Not only the two of them, but also how many people in future generations can calmly donate such a treasure to the country.

The winter vacation goes by day by day, and it is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month in the blink of an eye. There are only three days left before the Chinese New Year. One day later, the rolling mill will be on holiday. This year, Liu Guangqi’s family does not plan to celebrate the New Year in the city.

This year is different, Liu Guangqi took the finished bacon home early, and Liu's mother didn't ask where it came from, anyway, she knew that her son was very capable now.In addition to bacon, Liu Guangqi also got a few fish from the space, and two catties of pork were given out in the old Liu factory. This year, he will definitely have a good year at the old Liu's house.

"Ah, ah, dad stop beating"

Today is the last day of operation of the medical center before the end of the day, and the medical center will be closed after this day. Liu Guangqi, who has been busy all day in the medical center, heard Yan Xiecheng's screams like killing a pig as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Oh, it turns out that this is something outrageous. The third master is so angry, and even the third mother is also angry."

As soon as Liu Guangqi stepped into the Chuihua Gate, he saw a circle around the door of the third master's house to watch the excitement.Liu Guangqi squeezed in and took a look, good guy, Yan Jiecheng didn't know what he did, but he was pushed to the ground by the third master and beat him violently.

And it doesn't look like a fake beating, even the trousers were ripped off, and the two buttocks were red and shiny when the third master took the soles of his shoes, and what's even more strange is that there was no one to persuade the fight around , Even the third mother was standing aside and let the third master beat him hard.

"Don't mention it, this guy asked for it. He deserves to be beaten. The third master's beating like this is considered light. If this is a fucking thing, my dad can break my leg."
