Chapter 159 You pick two antiques and take them away!
Under the warm greeting of the Patriarch, He Qingfu followed him to the third floor and came to the collection room.
Although the Patriarch has not yet mentioned what he wants to say, He Qing has already guessed it, because Lin Haitao has just told him the origin of the golden key. Since he "passed the test" to get it,
After receiving the "golden key that opens the door to the collection", the Patriarch will naturally not regret it and will only ask him to help manage the collection room.
After entering the collection room, the Patriarch brought He Qing to a wall. There were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Almost every one of them was emitting a red light. Some of them had a strong "baoguang", indicating that they were of great collection value. It was just He Qing.
Qing didn't know much about the basic knowledge of calligraphy and painting. He couldn't judge the value of those calligraphy and painting from the pictures and words, but he could "identify" their age. At least he still had two chances today, but now he
There is no need to dig into the details. It is better not to distract yourself and listen carefully to the arrangements of the ancestor.
"Xiao He, let's talk about my painting first." Then the ancestor said, "I borrowed the Li ink you had to draw that painting. I feel good about myself, but it's mainly because of your ink."
Li Mo’s work is indeed extraordinary and the effect is particularly good, and the effect is obviously much better than ordinary works with good pen and ink.”
As he spoke, he pointed to a painting in the middle. It was a landscape painting, a typical Chinese painting. Only then did He Qing notice that the painting was very new, and the ink was also new. It didn't feel old at all, indicating that it was a new work.
No wonder there is no red aura emitting from it.
But even He Qing, who is illiterate in calligraphy and painting, can see that the painting, from the subtle brushstrokes to the overall layout, is refined, mature and very steady. Only a master-level painter can have that kind of skill.
When he carefully appreciated the newly painted painting, He Qing's admiration for his ancestor grew even more.
It is true that "live and learn". The knowledge of the nearly 100-year-old patriarch is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
"Grandpa, your painting is majestic and looks very artistic!" He Qing admired sincerely.
The Patriarch said with a smile: "My level is actually very limited, mainly because of your good ink. If a top master in the painting world used your Li ink that has been passed down for thousands of years to paint, wouldn't the painted works be more beautiful?
!I haven’t reached that level yet. I feel like I wasted a pot of high-quality ancient ink.”
He Qing quickly shook his head and said: "Grandpa, you are too humble! That painting is already very good, I like it very much! In fact, it's nothing, I just gave you a little bit of ink, it's not a problem. You use so much
To create such a good work with pen and ink, it is only right to ‘make the best use of everything’!”
Hearing what He Qing said in a solemn tone, the Patriarch felt quite relieved. He smiled and nodded and said, "That's fine if you like it. A friend in the painting industry has already discovered this painting of mine, and he took a quick look at it.
came out. Knowing that the ink I used was not ordinary ink, and later through comparison, he quickly recognized that it was Li Mo's finished product. I couldn't hide it, so I told him about Li Mo, but you
Don’t worry, I didn’t tell him who the Li Mo I borrowed belonged to, and he would never know that you have it!”
"Oh, it's okay." He Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay if you know it. Just don't let those with bad intentions know about it."
His Patriarch is not the only one who knows about Li Mo. It doesn't matter if one more person knows about it. Naturally, he won't care about it with the Patriarch.
"Then I'm relieved." The Patriarch said happily, "Now that I've told you about my friend, there's another thing I'll tell you directly."
"Oh, what is it? Please tell me. It's okay. As long as I can do it, I will do my best!" He Qing nodded readily.
I just heard the ancestor say: "My friend is a great painter. He is very famous. His paintings are very valuable, and the auction price can easily reach millions. It's just that he is an artist, not a businessman, so he usually doesn't
Directly auction his own works. He has been learning from the ancient painters, and he also has a great wish, that is, to use good ancient ink to complete a work, but he has never been able to find the ancient ink that suits him until he
From the moment he discovered this painting of mine. After getting the confirmation from me that day, he was extremely excited and excited, saying that he must meet you. If you are willing to give him the piece of Li Mo, he is willing to give you any conditions! Xiao He
, have you ever thought about transferring that piece of Li Mo?"
He Qing shook his head without hesitation and said: "Grandpa, I really haven't thought about this. I just want to collect it myself for the time being."
This was what he was saying. He really had no intention of transferring the hard-earned piece of Li Mo. It was an orphan and rare in the world. Naturally, he was reluctant to sell such a good thing, but wanted to keep it well.
.
The Patriarch nodded in agreement and said: "It's actually a good idea that you have. I won't force you to do anything. In this case, I'll go back and tell my friend what you think. Haha, let him give up."
He Qing shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true! Grandpa, how about this? Didn't you say that your painter friend has a wish? He wants to use Li Mo to complete a work, so I can lend him some ink.
, Anyway, there is still so much Li Mo, it won’t be a big deal if you grind it a little more, right?!”
The beauty of a gentleman and an adult. The painter wanted to paint a picture with Li Mo so much. Even if it was not for the sake of his ancestor, He Qing felt a sense of sympathy and sympathy in his heart. Sometimes helping others is also a kind of happiness.
"Yes!" Grandmaster nodded vigorously and said, "Li Mo is very time-consuming. Your piece of ink is not just for painting a picture. If you paint every day, it will last for several years. I'm afraid it won't be a problem! Xiao He, can you
I'm so happy to think so, I'm embarrassed to ask you for help, but he does have this idea, and now you agree before I even say it out loud, I don't even know what to say!"
He looked at He Qing with joy and looked a little excited.
The Patriarch is the founder of the "Shen Eye Sect". He is aloof and usually only asks for help from others. How could he ask for help from others? But in the case of Li Mo, he had to plead with He Qing because the genuine Li Mo
He was unique among the people. Except for the piece in He Qing's hand, no one had ever interacted with him, so he had no choice but to borrow ink from He Qing.
"Master, this is actually what it should be." He Qing smiled slightly and said, "You are my master, we are all our own people, you don't have to be polite to me!"
"No, if I didn't regard you as one of my own, I wouldn't have borrowed ink from you for free before." The Patriarch laughed, showing a mouth of incomplete teeth when he laughed, but he had a childlike appearance with a white hair.
It seems that he is not the supreme patriarch, but just an ordinary friend beside him, just an acquaintance since many years.
After the two talked for a while, the Patriarch called He Qing to sit down in front of the desk in the center of the collection room and said directly: "Xiao He, you opened the Kongming Lock just now smoothly. According to the rules of the game,
I have to fulfill my promise - I wonder if you know something about the origin of that golden key?"
He Qing nodded and replied: "Well, I understand a little bit. Haitao told me."
He told the Patriarch truthfully, and there was no need for him to lie on this matter.
"That's good." The Patriarch said happily, "There are only three golden keys in total. One is in my hand, and the other is temporarily in the hand of one of your uncles. Now I will give this to you.
You can come to this collection room to look at things at any time, and you can also bring friends, but you must get permission from me or your uncle. At the same time, we may ask you to come over and help pack things when you are free."
"I would be honored!" He Qing replied solemnly.
Although Lin Haitao had already told him about this matter just now, when he heard it from his ancestor again, he still felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
This is undoubtedly a good thing that can only be wished for. At least it proves that the ancestor has special trust in him. He just entered the antique business and did not know much about it and had no backers. It can be said that he started from scratch. Now he has a great collector like this.
Taking care of him makes him happy.
"Xiao He, follow Lao Zheng and study hard. You have endless potential and will definitely be very promising in the future!" Grandmaster gently patted He Qing on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Yes, I will!" He Qing agreed.
The old man and the young man chatted and laughed for a long time. The ancestor suddenly stood up. He Qing was going to take him away from now on. Unexpectedly, he heard the other party say again: "Xiao He, this is your first time coming to my house. I have to
I’ll give you some gifts, I can’t let you come back empty-handed!”
He Qing said hurriedly: "Grandpa, you are too polite. In fact, you have already given me two big gifts, the Kong Ming Lock and the golden key!"
The Patriarch shook his head and said with a smile: "That doesn't count. You earned it yourself, not I gave it to you."
He Qing thought a little embarrassedly: "Hey, I didn't prepare anything when I came. Isn't it too rude?!"
Now the Patriarch wanted to give him a gift, and he was embarrassed to accept it. But looking at the situation, the Patriarch was very resolute, and he might not be able to refuse it even if he was so kind.
The Patriarch immediately took He Qing away from the resting place, and the two continued to visit the collection room. After walking around, the Patriarch solemnly said to He Qing: "Xiao He, have you read it all? This is
It took me sixty or seventy years of hard work to collect these things. I originally wanted to set up a private museum, but I didn’t have the energy to manage it. In the past, I worked with my friends to build one that was open to the public.
Collection, but there are many problems in it. It is easy to attract thieves and let people take advantage of loopholes. After all, I am old and don’t have that much enthusiasm. Now I can only rely on you, the younger generation, to carry forward the collection business.
Alright! Okay, let’s get down to business, Xiao He, I’ll pick two antiques from this collection room and take them away. You can take whatever you like, even if it’s left to you for safekeeping!”
