What He Qing got was the priceless "Slim Gold Book". This was something he did not expect at first. By looking at the ins and outs of the Ding Kiln porcelain pillow, he only knew that the manuscript was written by Emperor Huizong of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Apart from this, he knew almost nothing about the original calligraphy and painting. After all, his knowledge of calligraphy and painting was extremely limited. How could he know that Song Huizong's calligraphy was so artistic and his left-behind works had such great collection value.
"Mr. Fang is so generous. He is even willing to give you Song Huizong's original works!" Lin Haitao sighed.
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I didn't expect him to be so generous at the time!"
Lin Haitao said with a smile: "But this is reasonable. You discovered this book and the two Song Dynasty books in Mr. Fang's hand. If you hadn't discovered the secret, he wouldn't have gotten it."
Ah. Previously, Mr. Fang sent someone to buy Teacher Fu's enamel porcelain at such a high price. From this point, it can be seen that he was very generous. A big collector like him doesn't care about it.
Something?"
He Qing shook his head gently and said, "Haitao, to tell you the truth, Mr. Fang still doesn't know about this?"
"You don't know what?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
He Qing said truthfully: "As for the origin of this manuscript, he only knew that it was a Song version of a book and was written by a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, but he certainly did not expect that it was an authentic work by Emperor Huizong of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Doesn't he know?! 'Skinny Gold Book' is so famous, can't he not see it?!" Lin Haitao asked in disbelief.
He Qing nodded and replied: "Well, he didn't see it at the time. But he has a specialization in collecting. He only collects porcelain and doesn't seem to collect anything else. The two books he took were not intended for collection, but
I plan to give it to a friend who specializes in collecting ancient books."
"Yes." Lin Haitao nodded quickly. "Mr. Fang is the 'Porcelain King'. He only collects ancient porcelain, calligraphy and painting. Even if it is the original work of the 'Sage of Calligraphy' Wang Xizhi, I am afraid he will not be interested. So if he knows
This is the authentic copy of Song Huizong's 'Thin Gold Book', and he will give it to you generously."
He Qing smiled lightly and said: "Maybe, I didn't expect it to be the 'Skinny Gold Book' at the time. I will have to tell him later."
"You want to tell him?" Lin Haitao said with wide eyes. "This thing is worth a lot of money, haha, aren't you afraid that he will take it back after he knows the situation?"
He Qing smiled bitterly as if he didn't care and said: "What am I afraid of? Money and treasures are just external possessions. What does it matter if there is more or less? This sincerity cannot be lost at all. I didn't buy the things, and I didn't pick them up.
If I keep this secret from the other party, I will feel very guilty."
Lin Haitao suddenly straightened his expression and nodded in agreement: "Brother Qing, you are right to think so. If Mr. Fang finds out about this in the future, I'm afraid he will have a grudge."
"Yes, let him know when you visit him again." He Qing responded solemnly.
Previously, he only knew that the Ding kiln porcelain pillow and the three books belonged to Song Huizong, but did not know about the "Thin Gold Book", so he could not directly tell Fang Dechao that the things belonged to Song Huizong. He was not an immortal.
, when appraising a relatively common antique, he still knows who the specific owner of the object is. Even if he tells it at the time, Fang Dechao may not believe it, or it may make the other party suspicious.
But now it's different. The manuscript can be identified as the "Skinny Gold Book", and every word is worth a thousand gold. If such a precious thing is not told to its original owner, He Qing will really feel uneasy. After all, the thing was given to him by Fang Dechao.
His friendship is very important.
He Qing and Lin Haitao were chatting when the cell phone in He Qing's pocket suddenly rang.
He Qing quickly took out his cell phone to answer the call. The call was from Mr. Zheng.
"Master." He Qing immediately pressed the answer button and said hello.
"Xiao He, are you still playing at Mr. Fang's place?" Mr. Zheng asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
He Qing said: "No, I'm back. Master, where are you now? It's getting late, it's time to have lunch."
Mr. Zheng replied: "I'm on my way back to the hotel. Let's eat together later. Xiao He, there is something. If you have time in the afternoon, can you go and help confirm it?"
"What are you sure about?" He Qing asked.
Mr. Zheng said: "It's just a piece of porcelain. Some people suspect it is 'imitation Zhu', but it seems to be fine. To make sure, I'd like you to go and have a look."
"No problem, it's a small matter!" He Qing agreed without thinking.
The master actually asked his apprentice to help identify things. He Qing felt a little awkward when he thought about it, but the fact is that, in terms of dating ancient porcelain and identifying high imitations such as "Zhu imitation", Mr. Zheng and other appraisers are indeed good at it.
Not as good as his place.
After talking to Mr. Zheng on the phone, He Qing put away the manuscript and called Lin Haitao, and they walked to the restaurant together.
After arriving at the restaurant, He Qing first asked for an elegant small box, then ordered wine and food, waiting for Mr. Zheng and the others to return.
It didn't take long for Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng to return to the hotel and quickly contacted He Qing.
"Master, I have a manuscript here, an ancient one."
At the banquet, He Qing suddenly said.
"What manuscript?" Mr. Zheng asked in surprise.
"That's it." He Qing then carefully took the manuscript out of his arms, placed it on the table, and showed it to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng.
The other two were so close to him, so he no longer needed to be on guard.
"It's very old, the most primitive kind of thread-bound book." When he saw it, Mr. Deng couldn't help being surprised.
Mr. Zheng kept nodding his head and said, "It has the flavor of an ancient book. Judging from the binding and paper quality, it should be from before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, right?"
"This is a Song version of a book." He Qing said, "But it is not printed, but a manuscript."
"A book from the Song Dynasty?!" Mr. Deng exclaimed. "A book from the Song Dynasty is worth thousands of gold per page! Xiao He, look at your Song version of the book. There is no trace of damage at all. It is so well preserved. It is rare.
one sight!"
Mr. Zheng also hurriedly praised: "Yes, the Song version has always been the most sought-after format among ancient book collectors. I have never seen a Song version that is so completely preserved."
He Qing shook his head and said: "But this is not a woodblock print. It can only be regarded as half a Song Dynasty book, because apart from the binding, its content is written, not printed."
Mr. Zheng shook his head and smiled and said: "As long as it is from the Song Dynasty, it can be called a Song-printed book. Just look at the format. As for the content, even if it is not printed, there are many situations where it is uncertain. If it is written by a famous artist,
That would only make it more precious. Nowadays, the original manuscripts of calligraphers and painters are also very famous in the collection circle. They are relatively popular collectibles. There are transaction records of over 100 million at home and abroad. For example, the world's richest man, Bill Gates, spent 30 million US dollars to collect one.
A manuscript said to be Leonardo da Vinci’s original manuscript.”
"Grandpa, this manuscript by Brother Qing has a lot of background!" At this moment, Lin Haitao said with excitement.
"Oh, what's the background?" Hearing this, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng both cheered up and looked at Lin Haitao together.
Lin Haitao said: "I just looked at it, it seems to be the authentic work of Emperor Huizong of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
"You said this is the authentic work of Song Huizong Zhao Ji?!"
Hearing what Lin Haitao said solemnly, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng couldn't help being shocked, and their expressions changed.
"Well, yes!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily, "It was written by Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The characters are very distinctive. It should be the 'Skinny Gold Book'."
"Is this happening?!" Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Many people know that there was an artist emperor in the Song Dynasty, and that person was the corrupt and incompetent Song Huizong. However, not many people know that Song Huizong’s authentic works are rare and rarely seen. His calligraphy and paintings are highly coveted. If the manuscript in front of you is from
The hand of Song Huizong is so precious that it is simply unimaginable!
"Xiao He, let me take it and take a look." Mr. Zheng then said.
Lin Haitao's words aroused great interest in them, and they just wanted to take a sneak peek to see if it was Song Huizong's "Skinny Gold Book".
"Well, let's see." He Qing nodded and agreed without hesitation.
So Mr. Zheng stretched out his hands, carefully picked up the book, and opened it to look at it carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more his expression changed. At the same time, Mr. Deng couldn't wait to reach over and check it out together.
"Lao Deng, this... this is really the 'Skinny Gold Book'!" After looking at it carefully, Lao Deng couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Well, yes!" Mr. Zheng nodded vigorously and said, "The handwriting of Shou Jin Shu is erratic and fast, and the handwriting is thin and strong, even thin without losing its flesh. At the turning points, you can clearly see the traces of hidden front, exposed front and so on.
It is a font with a quite unique style. It is very distinctive and easy to identify! Although there are many thin gold-style works circulating on the market now, most of them are just tracings and not the original works of Song Huizong.
That's extraordinary! Xiao He, this manuscript of yours should be the work of Song Huizong, and not copied by others."
As he spoke, he raised his head to look at He Qing and asked: "How did you get this manuscript? I'm afraid it can't be found on the market? Even if it is a fake, no one will take it out and sell it casually."
He Qing said without any secret: "Mr. Fang gave me this thing."
At that moment, he told Mr. Zheng and the others exactly what Fang Dechao had given him about the book. After hearing this, they suddenly understood.
"I see!" Mr. Zheng nodded and said, "Then you have got a big treasure!"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at it seriously again.
He didn't know how long he had been reading it. Suddenly, he raised his head and said to He Qing with a surprised look on his face: "Xiao He, this is incredible! The content written in this manuscript is also very unusual! This is of great significance.
Something of historical research significance!”
