Chapter 583: Countless Treasures(1/2)
Back at Yanyuan, Li Yi sorted out what Zhong Haoqing said again, and then he keenly discovered a problem, that is, what the master said was actually not very correct!
Because when he thought about it carefully, although he had a chaotic year, he actually had very clear motivations for every move. Moreover, these motivations not only did not deviate from the main line, but also had a deep connection with each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were the same.
But this motivation is really impossible to tell others, so in the eyes of Master and others, his actions seem to be more chaotic.
First of all, when it comes to gambling wood, it is mainly to find the magical plant containing cool air. It is also to bet on crystals because of the special green ghost, and to pick jade, it is to try to find the magical white mutton fat jade. As for other gambling stones, picking up bargains, raising fish, it is also because of the existence of the Spirit Card and Polygonum multiflorum that he deliberately does it.
Of course, there are some other things mixed in this. For example, at the beginning, I went to find a job because I was worried that the spirit card would disappear, so I opened a jewelry store to help Guangming, and bought a vineyard for investment, and bought a vineyard for pleasure. I also found a furniture factory for no reason because of the attack on gambling trees. In addition, learning calligraphy and painting, carving a lot of time-consuming things that fell into the eyes of people who didn’t know the truth, of course, became even more chaotic.
But even these things actually did not deviate from the two main lines of Jiling Card and Polygonum multiflorum.
Therefore, the master should listen to his advice, but the most important thing is that he must first figure out what he needs.
From the moment, the spirit card should not disappear at will, so the preparations made are not so urgent because of worrying that it will disappear. Moreover, the distance he can see through is enough, and he no longer needs to deliberately identify a large number of cultural relics in order to absorb the cool air.
As for calligraphy, painting and carving, before contacting him, he did not expect that he would have such outstanding talents, so he practiced for a while, but now he looked back and didn't seem so anxious.
Because although the level of achievements of such arts has a lot to do with their own level, this is definitely not all.
The subjectivity of this kind of thing is really too strong, so when your level reaches a certain level, if you want to go further, for most artists, they mainly rely on operations. Among them, age is actually a very important factor.
What this means is that even if he can draw now as good as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, his works will never receive too high praise. Because in addition to reputation, there is also a problem of time accumulation.
After this analysis, it is actually not so urgent to learn calligraphy, painting and carving, because his age will bring him an expected ceiling, and this ceiling will definitely not be too high, maybe it will be above his head now.
So, what does he need most now?
To be honest, after analyzing this, there is really nothing he needs in particular. If you have to say that there is one, it will probably be only money left.
He needs money, a lot of money! Even if it is not for the purpose of investing in the house with Wang Haoqing, he needs to prepare a lot of cash at all times.
This problem should be solved after the batch of gold is processed, but it is hard to say, because over the past year, he thought his money was enough to spend, but in the end, there were still several famines.
Therefore, no matter how you make a plan and make money, you must consider it.
If he wants to make money, in the short term, he will just continue to bet on stones, woods, crystals, and add another bargain. In the long term, he may also add furniture factories, vineyards, or even hotels that have not even started digging.
After this analysis, he actually went back again. Among so many options, he could not lose any one!
However, not being able to lose it does not mean there is no solution.
The reason why Zhong and Hu talked to him was mainly because they didn’t know the existence of the Spiritual Gaming Card and Polygonum multiflorum, and they couldn’t understand some of his actions. Therefore, it was actually very simple to solve this problem, that is, to change the name of the things that Polygonum multiflorum would do because of the Spiritual Gaming Card, so that they could see it clearly, and it would be OK!
After solving this problem, all these projects have reasons to be retained, so it is time to plan.
Although he currently puts money first, planning certainly cannot do this. In any case, he should regard appraisal, calligraphy, painting, and carving as the main direction in the next major direction.
But in fact, whether it is to put identification or calligraphy and painting carving first, it has not had a big impact on him, because he has figured it out that these things cannot be impatient. Since they cannot be impatient, they will not delay other things.
Therefore, he was going to give this to the two masters to decide. After all, they cared about him because they were sincere. They couldn't say it for a long time. In the end, he would still do his own thing, right?
After thinking it through, Li Yi felt that he should contact Wang Haoqing as soon as possible. On the one hand, it was because he had to deal with some Hetian jade and rubies, and more importantly, it was to determine whether he could help him transport gold from Taiwan.
After the phone communication, Li Yi rushed directly to Wang Haoqing's office.
"Is this wine? Where did you get it? There is no packaging..."
"The celadon bottle contains the daughter Hong, who has been more than 50 years old, and the white porcelain bottle contains the old white wine that has been more than 100 years old. How about it? Is it fun?"
Wang Haoqing was stunned and then gave him a thumbs up.
"It's great! But two bottles are a bit too small. No matter what, you should prepare two bottles for my old man."
Li Yi slapped his forehead and forgot about this matter. Fortunately, although there is not much wine, it should be fine if one or two bottles are evenly produced.
The two chatted for a few more times, and Wang Haoqing leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly and said:
"Okay, let me tell you something important. Our old man asked you to have a meal at home when you have time. When will you have time?"
"Ah? This... you don't need to be so polite, right?"
Li Yi scratched his scalp, but he was not familiar with it. The most important thing is that their old man is still so big that he is so scary that he should be so restrained at that time.
"cut!"
Wang Haoqing curled his mouth, picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it out.
"You guy is lucky, the old man will have time tonight! I think that's what you'll arrange. You'll treat these two bottles of wine as a gift for him. If you look back, you'll give me a few bottles."
Li Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You drove me to the shelf, and you still want wine?" There is no window!
Wang Haoqing ignored him, gently buckled his fingers on the table twice, and said in contemplation:
"I can ship your batch of gold for you and deal with it. However, I need 30% of the cost, you can consider it yourself."
"Oh? How to luck?"
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me if the conditions are right. Well, there is another thing, that is, the batch of jade you sent from Hotan. Are you going to sell it to the company as a whole gambling material or untie it?"
"Of course it was untied, otherwise I would have lost a lot? By the way, I still have some good things here, but I just don't know if you can eat it..."
Li Yi took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, which contained a total of 15 ruby rough stones, all of which were standard pigeon blood red. Among them, there were 5 rough stones that could cut out more than 5 carats of top pigeon blood rubies, and the largest one. The cut ruby may even exceed 15 carats!
"Damn, where did you get it? So many? Still so big?"
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me that you don't have that much money. Oh, by the way, you can call someone to untie all the Hetian jades, and then both sides will be counted."
"Boy, learn from me to speak..."
Wang Haoqing pointed at him with his finger, then called a jewelry designer and handed him all the ruby rough stones on the table.
"Take it back and study it, and call me after estimating the price. Let's go and see what Hetian jade is like when you bet back."
Li Yi nodded, asked a few more questions about Hongchen and the others' learning, and then followed Wang Haoqing to the Stone Workshop.
Because there were too many materials brought back this time, even without the process of rubbing stones, I struggled for a whole afternoon before I cut them all.
After taking a look at the time, Wang Haoqing handed over the material to the jewelry designer who had been waiting aside for a long time to estimate the price, and he took Li Yi to the Xishan villa area.
The old man of the Wang family looked a little old from the outside, but the interior was well decorated. When the two arrived, the old man had not come back yet, and a middle-aged woman was received.
"This is Sister Pang. My mother passed away early. Over the years, Sister Pang has been taking care of my father."
After a brief greeting, Wang Haoqing led Li Yi into a room on the second floor.
"Look, what's the difference in this room..."
"What's the difference? Is there a secret room... Damn, is it true or false?"
His eyes passed through the room, and then he was startled.
This room looks like a very ordinary study room and is also very simple to arrange.
On the left side of the door was a three-person leather sofa and a coffee table. It was facing it, and close to the window was a desk with a slightly slim shape. Then there were six bookcases along the wall on the left, but strangely nothing was placed. On the right side, except for a painting of tinted silk with a horizontal length of more than 5 meters hanging on the wall, it was also empty and nothing was left.
Li Yi was frightened by this painting.
After calming down, he took a deep breath and asked slowly:
"Gu Kaizhi, "The Goddess of Luo River"?"
"Well, please help me see which dynasty comes from and whose work is."
Li Yi nodded and began to look carefully bit by bit.
Gu Kaizhi was a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was not only talented, outstanding in painting and infatuated, but also a famous painting theorist in history. His arguments such as "the wonderful ideas can be used to describe the spirit through form" and the "Six Methods" proposed later have laid a solid foundation for the development of traditional Chinese painting.
Gu Kaizhi has many works, but none of the original works can be preserved. The existing "Pictures of the Female Historian", "Pictures of the Goddess of Luo River", "Pictures of the Benevolence and Wisdom of Women", etc. are all copies of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Among them, there are five copies of the Song Dynasty in the "Lotus Goddess's Fu" and are collected in the Palace Museum, the Palace Museum in Taipei, the Ningliao Provincial Museum and the Freer Art Museum in the United States.
The "Picture of the Goddess of Luo River" that Li Yi saw now is a colored silk painting. The vertical height of the painting is only 27 cm, horizontal, but close to 6 meters!
This painting has fine, vigorous and simple brushwork and smooth lines. Although it must be a copy, it is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure in Chinese classical painting, whether it is from the perspective of content, artistic structure, character shape, environment description, or the form of brush and ink expression.
"This should be a Song copy, but..."
While browsing, Li Yi was guessing the possible author of this painting in his heart. Suddenly, his heart blew. Why did this thing look more and more like Zhang Zeduan's handwriting? Isn't it possible?
Resisting the doubts in his heart, he looked at the painting carefully from beginning to end, and then turned on the spiritual appraisal card.
In an instant, the cold air flowed by, and he also saw the answer he wanted to know. This unsigned copy of the Song Dynasty, "The Goddess of the Luo River", was written by Zhang Zeduan, the famous author of the Hanlin Academy of Painting in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the author of the famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"!
"I'll go... it's not worth even to describe it!"
Li Yi shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, his eyes slanted and he noticed a sky-blue lily vase placed on the desk.
The height of this bottle is about 25 cm, and above it is a flat flap. The bottom foot part is the same as the flap, but the diameter is much smaller. There are basically thin bottlenecks between the bottle mouth and the bottom foot, but suddenly expanding out a piece of it near the bottom foot, and it looks like it is wearing a neck cover.
"The style and color of this bottle are rare!"
Li Yi muttered and leaned over, but before he could take a look, his brow frowned. This piece seemed to be a precious Ru kiln porcelain!
After taking a few more glances, he carefully picked up the porcelain bottle, first looked at the bottom of the utensil, and then gently tapped it twice. Then, a deep sense of suspicion appeared in his eyes. This was definitely an ancient porcelain from the Song Dynasty, but it was not Ru kiln, but it was definitely not an ordinary celadon.
What kind of porcelain is this?
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and turned on the soul-scoring card directly. Then, he seemed to be struck by lightning, and he seemed to be hit by someone's acupuncture, and he was stunned.
"Impossible? Isn't that possible? I just got the recipe and I actually saw a whole device, and it was such a flawless treasure. This..."
After a flash of lightning and thunder in his mind, a look of incredible expression appeared on Li Yi's face. This lily vase was actually a Chai kiln, a Chai kiln porcelain that was said to be "blue as the sky, as bright as the mirror, as thin as paper, and as sound as the rock", but no one has ever seen it!
"Where did you get this bottle?"
