Happy Tycoon
Chapter 284: 10,000 yuan!
The most conspicuous thing in the room is a fire kang that is rare in the south of later generations, which occupies half the area of the room.
In fact, the fire kang is not unique to the north. As early as the Ming Dynasty’s Little Ice Age, the fire kang was very popular in the Jiangnan area, but later on, the fire kang gradually disappeared.
It is no surprise that this kind of kang can be seen in old houses of this age.
Zhao Zheng cleaned up the things on the kang, cleared out a long walk, and then put the scroll on the kang.
The scroll is not wide. Yang Jing is 30 centimeters at most, but the scroll is a little scary. Obviously, the length of this painting should be amazing.
"This is an ink and wash landscape painting by the ancestor of our old Zhao family. It is more than six meters long." Zhao Zheng said, opening the scroll very carefully, revealing the painting inside.
When the painting was first unfolded, Yang Jing only felt that the desire of the holy ring had grown stronger. Obviously, the holy ring could not wait to absorb the cultural treasures in this painting.
This painting is not painted on paper, but on silk, but the color of this painting has already turned yellow, and many places are even a little damaged.
The picture in the picture is a big river, with boats on the river, a prosperous appearance of a thousand sails racing across hundreds of boats. With the gradual unfolding of the picture scroll, mountains appeared on both sides of the river, and in the distance there was a tall and majestic city wall with flags flying on the wall.
"The painting is very average..." Yang Jing thought to himself, although he is not very proficient in calligraphy and painting, the quality of a painting can still be seen.
Although the ink marks on the scroll are a little light, and some areas are even blurred, but this painting can only be said to be ordinary, without the atmosphere of the paintings and calligraphy, and there is no such exquisiteness, it can only be said to be ordinary. That's it.
Big rivers, wharves, ships, mountains, city walls, and the flow of people together constitute this picture that is just over six meters long. In order for Yang Jing to see the whole picture clearly, Zhao Zheng had to unfold it while slowly putting it away.
Looking at it, Yang Jing felt that the painting in front of him was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhao, is this Jinling City painted in this painting? This big river is the Yangtze River?" Yang Jing asked in disbelief.
Zhao Zheng carefully put away the picture scroll, smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Yang, your eyesight is quite strong. You can see at a glance what the picture is painted in. That's right, this picture is right. It is the Jinling city painted by the ancestors."
"Hi..." Yang Jing took a deep breath again. He really didn't expect that Jinling City would be drawn in this ordinary-looking picture scroll.
"Haha..." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, "I guess you can see it too, this painting is just average! But Brother Yang, let's not tell you, this painting was saved by our old Zhao family. The old painting for more than a hundred years has always been the heirloom of our old Zhao family. If it weren’t for my father’s serious illness this time, and there would be no money to treat it, my mother would not allow me to take out this painting and sell it. Hey, during the great turmoil that year, I hid this painting on the beam of the house and was not searched by those guys. As a result, it was hidden in thousands, and it was inevitable to sell it in the end."
"Over eight hundred years?" Yang Jing was shocked, "Doesn't it mean that this painting is a painting from the Song Dynasty?"
"Well, if my father didn't lie to me, this painting was indeed painted by an ancestor of our Zhao family at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been passed down for dozens of generations. Although the words are average, they are displayed here this year. Is it a cultural relic anyway? If it weren't for my father's illness, I wouldn't be willing to sell this painting."
After a pause, Zhao Zheng said again: "I have put this painting on the stall for several days. I have asked a lot of people, but none of them really want to buy it. Maybe it's because I asked for too high a price. People can afford it."
"Brother Zhao, how much do you plan to sell this painting? If the price is right, I want to buy it. To tell you the truth, my grandfather grew up on the Yangtze River since he was a child, and he especially likes landscape painting. If you can see this painting, you will definitely like it very much."
Zhao Zheng looked at Yang Jing and found that Yang Jing seemed to be serious. He hesitated and said, “This painting is definitely an old painting that our old Zhao’s family has preserved for dozens of generations, and it’s such a long scroll. It should be rare now, so..."
Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to sell this painting for 10,000 yuan! I would rather not sell it without this amount."
As soon as this number was exported, Yang Jing let out a sigh of relief. Of course, in this era when ten thousand yuan households are extremely rare, ten thousand yuan is definitely an astronomical price. No wonder Zhao Zheng has put this painting on for several days, and no one bought it. This price is not good to say, it is no longer enough to describe it as "Lion's big mouth". For this painting at this age, this price is simply "I don't know how high it is"!
Another thing is that this painting can only be regarded as ordinary, and there is no identification and seal, and there is no idea who painted it. Although the traces on the silk can be distinguished from the traces of the years, it is an old painting, but it must Let ordinary people believe that this is a silk book that has been handed down since the Northern Song Dynasty. I am afraid that even the calligraphy and painting masters of the Palace Museum or Nanbo will not believe it.
Calligraphy and painting are different from most antiques. The falsification of calligraphy and painting has long existed. Even some early masters copied ancient paintings.
Among them, Mr. Daqian is one of the leaders.
This painting does not have any identification and seal to be exquisite, and the painting is really ordinary, unlike everyone’s work, it’s really hard to believe that it is just because it has been left very close by the years. A silk copy that has been preserved since the Southern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in this era, if his painting can be sold, it will be called a ghost!
But for Yang Jing, this number is nothing. Now in Yang Jing’s storage space, there is a third set of 200,000 yuan. This is the last time when Yang Jing went to Yanjing in Time and Space in 1982, he not only saw the set bought by Mike Aller. In the Hai Siheyuan, I also admired the old objects that Pete Wu bought up. When he finally left, he asked Pete Wu to exchange the third set of 200,000 yuan from the bank, which is a full 20 stacks of ten yuan. Unity, lying quietly in the space.
The most important thing is that the authenticity of this painting is put aside first, and the holy ring has such a strong reaction to this painting, let alone 10,000, even if Zhao Zheng wants one million, Yang Jing will do it. Brought him a million to buy the painting the next day.
It's a big deal to use the "restricted time and space shuttle" skill overnight, and then travel to Yanjing in 1982 to find Pete Wu, and let him exchange a third set of national currency of one million from the bank.
In this time and space, Yang Jing is very rich!
Now, Zhao Zheng only needs 10,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly good news for Yang Jing.
"Brother Zhao, to tell you, I can afford your price, but I have to take time to get the money. I am here to visit the black market today, so how can I not carry so much money with me."
"Ah?!" Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment. In fact, when he said the number just now, he had been worried about being rejected.
After these four or five days, Zhao Zheng has been rejected without much confidence. As a result, Yang Jing suddenly came out with an "acceptable" message, which immediately made Zhao Zheng feel a little bit ice and fire.
Zhao Zheng grabbed Yang Jing's hands excitedly, and asked with a little trembling: "Brother? You, can you really use it to buy this painting from my house for 10,000 yuan?"
Yang Jing nodded affirmatively.
Zhao Zheng immediately let go of Yang Jing's hand and ran to another room in a hurry, and then Yang Jing heard a burst of excitement cheering from that room.
Not long after, Zhao Zheng's mother walked in with Zhao Zheng. As soon as the old woman saw Yang Jing, she would kneel down on Yang Jing. She was so scared that Yang Jing hurriedly supported the old lady.
"Auntie, don't do this. If you are like this, I will leave!" Yang Jing "threatened".
"Okay, okay! It's my old lady who is abrupt. My nephew, can you really buy this painting? The money..."
"Well! Auntie, don’t worry, I will definitely buy this painting. My family has some relations on the island of Taiwan. After the "Book of Compatriots on Caotai Island" was published by the Central Committee two years ago, our mainland and Taiwan Island After the three links were restored, the family contacted relatives on Taiwan Island, so now the family still has some money." Yang Jing had to find such a reason.
Although the three links between the two sides of the strait were restored in October 1981, many Taiwan compatriots had already been in contact with relatives in China at this time, and some Taiwan compatriots had even come to the mainland through transit through Hong Kong Island. Looking for relatives who have been separated for many years.
Yang Jing said that he has relatives on Taiwan Island. In this era, that can mean a lot of money.
Hearing what Yang Jing said, the old lady completely let go of her heart, and took Yang Jing's hand and said: "My nephew, you really have lost it! My old man found out that hepatic ascites was early, if not. If you hurry up for treatment, this person won’t be able to stare for long. But where is the money for treatment in the current situation at home! Although this painting is a family heirloom of my old man, how can I take care of it at this time? Go to that one? You said no?"
Yang Jing smiled and said: "Auntie, what you said is correct, life is a matter of life, and the first to treat the disease and save the talent is the original." Only then did Yang Jing know that Zhao Zheng's father had liver ascites.
This disease is not a joke. It is known as "a terminal illness that is not terminally ill." Even if it is put into the 21st century, it is basically a kind of hopeless disease. Once the disease is in its advanced stage, you should eat and play, don’t treat it, it’s a waste of money. But Zhao Zheng's father is now in the early stage of liver ascites, if he can be treated properly, he will live for another ten or eight years without a problem. But this money is indispensable. No wonder Zhao Zheng is 10,000 yuan~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Zheng’s mother has tears in her eyes, "Thank you so much. If it were not for you, my house would be empty. What is the use of this heirloom if it can't save my old man's life?"
Zhao Zheng also said to the side: "Brother Yang, I won't say thank you. In the future, as long as you can use my Zhao Zheng's place, just talk."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, it's still early. I'll go home and get the money in a while."
"Isn't your grandfather's house in Jiangning? It's far from here," Zhao Zheng said. In this era, private cars are flying all over the sky. In this era, more than 30 miles is far away.
Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's okay. It takes half an hour to take a long-distance bus. I'll leave in a while and I will be back at noon."
With that said, Yang Jing walked to the scroll and gently stroked the scroll with his left hand, but the answer given by the holy ring was that Yang Jing almost broke his brain...
PS: I would like to thank the "Ice Town Octave" 500 for the reward, and the "Purple Flame Tianjiao" 100 for the reward.
