Chapter 34 Anonymous Paintings

"Old Guo, then we will thank you in advance!" Xiaoyu said angrily, looking unhappy.

In fact, it is understandable. No matter who knows that there is a "bomb" hidden in the collections in the room, even if you know that the "bomb" will not cause any harm to you, you will definitely feel unhappy.

However, Mr. Guo’s approach has nothing to blame, and it even conforms to the industry rules.

After all, the most basic quality in the antique industry is eye ability. If you are "not eye-catching" or "no eye-catching", then change your career as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing and being deceived.

Qi Xiang knew this truth very well, so she didn't feel bored. After entering the room, she began to observe carefully, but she couldn't lock in the target for a long time. The main reason was that there were too many things, which made it difficult to make a choice.

Xiao Yu was also very happy, his eyes were swaying, and after looking at it for a few minutes, he couldn't help scratching his head: "Qi Xiang, do you think it's better for us to grab something?"

"It's hard to decide..." Qi Xiang was also hesitating and slowly analyzed: "But in terms of the popularity of the market, the most popular ones are undoubtedly porcelain and calligraphy and painting."

"Then you don't have to think about it, just porcelain and calligraphy and painting." Xiaoyu immediately made a decision: "I'll go see porcelain, you go see calligraphy and painting."

Here, Xiao Yu was a little cautious because there were more porcelain in the room, at least two big shelves, while calligraphy and painting were only in one row, with very few numbers.

This also determines the amount of porcelain and calligraphy and paintings by the texture of the things and the texture of the things.

Relatively speaking, porcelain is relatively sturdy and durable. As long as you don’t deliberately hit it, it can usually be passed down for thousands of years. However, most calligraphy and paintings are made of paper. If it is not properly preserved, it will easily rot and destroy due to the influence of the climate and environment.

Often, only one volume of calligraphy and painting can be passed down to modern times intact among ten thousand volumes of calligraphy and painting. This is why thousands of years of ancient paintings are so popular among the world, and things are precious because they are rare.

The law of rare things being valuable is correct. But on the other hand, if things are precious, the chance of fraud will be significantly increased. There are fewer calligraphy and paintings, and more frauds. In summary, how likely is Mr. Guo to take medicine?

So Xiaoyu chose porcelain without hesitation. However, Qi Xiang didn't care about this trick and walked straight to a bunch of calligraphy and paintings, browsing casually.

A scroll of calligraphy and painting are placed on the shelf in an orderly manner.

It can be seen that Mr. Guo doesn’t attach much importance to these calligraphy and paintings. If he really attaches importance to these calligraphy and paintings, he should be stored in a special box to drain the air in the box to prevent moisture, corrosion and moth.

Qi Xiang casually untied a scroll and looked at him a little and understood the reason.

With his appreciation ability, he also thinks the picture is good. Unfortunately, there is no seal or signature on the picture. In other words, this is an anonymous work.

No matter how well the works of anonymous are drawn, they are not worth it.

Because calligraphy and painting pay more attention to the famous works of famous masters and the celebrity effect.

Taking the works of painters in the Ming Dynasty as an example, among the painters in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu is the most famous, so although his works are not the best among painters in the Ming Dynasty, they are the most sold and the best.

The reason is nothing more than the influence of folk legends and film and television dramas, which makes Tang Bohu a well-known figure. Even the nouveau riche who is ignorant of people knows that there is Tang Bohu, so when he is a sensual, he naturally prefers to choose Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings...

As more people buy, the price will naturally increase.

So in the antique market, there is a very real rule, that is, fame equals price. Therefore, even if the works of anonymous are drawn, the price cannot be increased.

Things are not worth much, so naturally there is no need to be carefully preserved.

Qi Xiang shook her head slightly, tied the scroll in her hand and put it back, and continued to watch the next volume.

One volume after another, not only paintings, but also calligraphy banners.

Some of these works must also have seals and seals, but Qi Xiang carefully identified them and found that most of them have no reputation and had never heard of them.

Perhaps it was because of his lack of talent and knowledge, but from this we can also know that the most precious calligraphy and paintings are probably the works of local famous artists, and they cannot be put on the big table.

Qi Xiang was picking and soon saw the last scroll.

It was the scroll stuffed in the corner of the shelf. When he took it out, it brought a piece of dust, which showed that the scroll was not valued by Mr. Guo and had been forgotten in the corner for a long time and had not moved.

Qi Xiang reached into the corner and took out the scroll. The thing was in his hand and had not been opened yet. A trace of obscure fluctuations made him stunned and a little dazed.

"Qi Xiang, have you found any good things?"

At this moment, Xiaoyu walked over with a plate in his arms and smiled: "I told you, I have seen Mr. Guo's calligraphy and paintings...it's just ordinary. Don't waste your time, just look for it on porcelain."

Xiaoyu is quite conscientious. After picking something, he did not forget to come and remind him. He didn't say it before, mainly because he was afraid that Qi Xiang would compete with him. Now there is no competition, so he naturally has to talk about "loyalty".

Qi Xiang glanced at him and saw that the blue and white plate on Xiaoyu's hand was a restrained glaze and looked good.

"Is this?" Qi Xiangqi asked: "When is the plate?"

"Look..." Xiaoyu turned the bottom of the plate and saw a blue and white wreath on the bottom of the plate, and wrote three words.

"Changletang!" Qi Xiang praised as soon as she saw it, "You have a good vision and have found something good."

"That's..." Xiaoyu was very proud.

The text with a blue and white plate with a sufficient base is a hall-name style. Generally speaking, porcelain with hall-name styles is a private custom-made thing, and the quality is better than ordinary porcelain.

As long as you can confirm that the thing is not a fake, you don’t have to worry about its poor value.

"I guess, this should be a fine product of the folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty." Xiao Yu speculated: "After all, it is a custom-made thing. The workmanship, the blue and white lines, and the glaze method are all more particular..."

"Yeah." Qi Xiang nodded perfunctorily, then calmed down and carefully spread the scroll on her hand.

"This painting..." Xiaoyu also came over to look at it, and then said in surprise: "I have never seen this painting before, did Mr. Guo collect it?"

The picture is unfolded, this is a vertical scroll.

Fifty centimeters wide and nearly one meter long, it is a large size.

Qi Xiang stared at the picture and saw that the paper was yellow, with obvious insect-eaten holes, which were very mottled and old, and had poor quality. As for the content of the picture, it was an old man with a big sleeve, long robe and high crown, sleeping on a stone on his side of his wrist.

The author of the picture has a very exquisite brushwork. He just outlines the simple sketch and depicts the old man's sleeping soundly and vividly. But it is a pity that this is also an anonymous work.

The entire scroll is without any seals, and there is no signature.

Speaking of which, for calligraphy and painting, printing articles is equivalent to the ID card of a modern person. Only with an ID card can you accurately know the date of birth and what the name of a person is.

This is how calligraphy and painting are. Only with the signature and seal can we determine the specific age of calligraphy and painting and who is the author.

However, the works of anonymous have nothing, so it is difficult to break the age.

"Oh, it's really not very good." Xiaoyu looked at it and shook his head immediately: "Qi Xiang, you should give up. Although Mr. Guo also collects calligraphy and paintings, he just plays casually and will not invest too much."

Qi Xiang ignored the deaf ears and carefully looked at the drawings, he suddenly asked, "Have you chosen something?"

"Uh?" Xiaoyu was stunned, then raised his hand and said, "I have chosen it, it's this plate."

"Okay, let's go." Qi Xiang rolled up the picture and signaled: "Go to check with Mr. Guo."

"What?" Xiaoyu was stunned and immediately reacted, and was extremely surprised: "You want this painting?"

Qi Xiang smiled without saying a word, left the room and walked towards the living room. While they were selecting things, Mr. Guo and Xiao Ding had already returned to the living room and went to entertain Mr. Hai who had returned from the transfer of money.

At this moment, Mr. Hai held the incense Buddha and rubbed it gently, with a happy expression on his face.

Mr. Guo's eyes were full of reluctance, but his son had a bright smile and a happy smile.

In this capital society, everything can be measured by money. As long as there is enough money, no matter how precious or what you like, you will give up people, and there is no so-called non-selling product.

Besides, no matter how precious the fragrant Buddha is, it cannot be compared with family affection. For the sake of his son's lifelong affairs, no matter how distressed Mr. Guo was, he could only watch the things leave him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Guo turned his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Shopkeeper Qi, have you picked good things?"

"I've chosen it, this is the painting." Qi Xiang raised his hand and signaled.

"Painting?" Mr. Guo was stunned and then smiled and said, "Which painting is it?"

"This picture..." Qi Xiang handed over the scroll.

Mr. Guo took it casually, took a look at it, and was a little surprised: "Shopkeeper Qi, are you sure it is this one?"

"Yes, this one is it." Qi Xiang was very sure.

"Uh..." Mr. Guo hesitated: "Shopkeeper Qi, you don't have to give me face, you can change another painting."

Mr. Guo suspected that Qi Xiang deliberately used this valuable painting to sell himself a favor.

In fact, Xiaoyu also thought so, secretly praised Qi Xiang for being smart. People, people's relationships, people's relationships, and people's relationships, and they become familiar. When they become familiar, they mean that they have friendship. After they have friendship, are they still afraid that they will not get good things in the future?

"This plan is worthy of being the guy with the most potential to become a wolf..." Xiaoyu sighed and laughed quickly, "Old Guo, since he fell in love with this painting, it means he really likes it. It's hard to buy a good friend of his heart, so you can just give him a promise."

"This is reasonable." Qi Xiang agreed very much: "Mr. Guo, you give me a price and I will take the things."

"...it's fine!" Mr. Guo thought for a while and then smiled, "Then let's make friends and contact more in the future."

While speaking, Mr. Guo stretched out a finger and shook it, and said subtly: "Actually, this painting is not bad. Although it is an anonymous work, it is a thing from the Ming Dynasty, so it is worth a few dollars, at least this number..."
