Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 728
Chapter 730
In an antique shop.
Xiao Ran was looking at the so-called antique artworks displayed on various museum shelves, looking very interested, and he was quite focused.
The so-called antique artworks on display here include both Japanese and Chinese antiques, as well as a small number of Western antique artworks.
Of course, there are also many modern crafts and tourist souvenirs, as well as second-hand luxury goods and so on.
Xiao Ran’s focus is naturally on Chinese antique artworks, as well as Western antique artworks.
He had little interest in the largest number of Japanese curios.
Tracing back to its roots, Japanese culture stems from the splendid ancient Chinese culture.
But the road of Japanese culture is crooked, and there is an evil nature of a small country and widows everywhere, and the small family is full of spirit.
Japanese antiques that carry Japanese culture are also the same virtues and cannot be put on the table.
As far as Xiao Ran said, he couldn’t look at the crooked Japanese curios in his heart.
In addition to Japanese antiques, Korean antiques are the same, and the way is more evil!
Just as Xiao Ran was inspecting the goods displayed on the shelves of the museum, Miura Guangnan and several clerks stood in the reception area, staring at him with wide eyes one by one.
At the same time, these are whispering.
“It seems that the rumors are correct, Sean’s vision is very sharp, and the treasures he pays attention to are all genuine
” “Those high imitations and fakes on the shelves of the museum have all been ignored by him!”
A clerk whispered.
Before the words fell, the other clerk immediately nodded.
“That’s right, this guy Sean is definitely a rare master
” “Let’s be careful today, don’t be picked up by this guy!”
Miura Konan, who was standing in front of them, did not speak, but his eyes were full of worry.
When these clerks talked, they naturally spoke Japanese.
They thought that Xiao Ran couldn’t understand Japanese at all, so they didn’t be too careful.
But how did they know that Xu Lin and Wang Jue, who stood on Xiao Ran’s left and right, were proficient in Japanese.
Using the cover of masks, the two beauties translated every Japanese they heard in a low voice.
Xiao Ran remained silent, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
As he spoke, he had come to a painting jar.
This is a medium-sized blue and white vat, containing some Chinese painting and calligraphy scrolls, large and small, and in different state of preservation.
Some scrolls are all apricot yellow, and the edges are even a little festered, which looks very old!
There are also some scrolls that are much better preserved, and the framed does not look very old, looking like something modern.
Xiao Ran first scanned the situation in the painting vat, and then took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he reached into the vat and took out a medium-sized scroll from it.
The preservation of this scroll is not very good, it looks a little vicissitudes, but fortunately there is no damage.
After picking up this scroll, Xiao Ran first checked the appearance.
Perhaps because of the age, the two shaft heads of this scroll are a little bad, but fortunately they are not rotten.
From the outside alone, the scroll framing process is average.
What’s more, the framing process of this scroll is actually Japanese-style framing.
But the label on this scroll is unmistakably written in Chinese and Japanese, “Yuqiao Question Picture”
, that is, this is a Chinese painting colored on paper.
Such a classic theme of Chinese painting and calligraphy, framed in the Japanese style, immediately gives people a nondescript feeling, very grotesque!
Seeing this, Xiao Ran’s eyes couldn’t help but flash a trace of heartache, but it was fleeting.
The next moment, he took the scroll, walked to a book case next to it, and placed it on the case.
Then, he gently pulled the ribbon tied to the scroll and slowly unfolded it little by little, pretending to examine it carefully.
Just like the few Chinese characters on the label, this is a “Yuqiao Question Picture”.
In the painting, an old fisherman is boating on the river, fishing in the river, and he is at ease.
At this time, a woodcutter came down from the mountain with a load of firewood and sat down on a reef by the river, ready to rest.
Seeing the old fisherman fishing in the river, the two chatted.
The two old men asked and answered, and through some very simple conversations, they dissolved heavy topics such as the rise and fall of ancient and modern times.
The two old men in the painting are very expressive, vivid and lifelike, and the scenery in the painting is very beautiful, quite a feeling of paradise!
In the upper right corner of the painting, a five-word poem is written in a phoenix dance.
That is exactly the Ming Dynasty poet Zhang Ning’s “Fishing Tree Map
“, “The wind is quiet and the smoke is breathing, the clouds are deep and the stone path is long”,
“The rivers and mountains are talking in one day, and the city is busy several times”
, at the end of this five-sentence sentence, is a vague seal, and the text on it can no longer be clearly seen.
Except for this red seal of unknown origin, on this scroll, there is no longer a single seal, nor any extra inscriptions!
This is almost impossible on an ancient Chinese painting.
What’s more, this painting is still very good, how can the literati and collectors of successive dynasties be willing to let go of the opportunity to leave a personal mark on it!
For example, that famous seal maniac, the Qianlong Emperor!
The literati who have the same hobby as him are as many as carp crossing the river in ancient China, and they can’t be counted!
Perhaps because of the age and vicissitudes of life.
The surface of this scroll is full of apricot yellow and speckled spots, but fortunately it does not affect the appreciation.
Xiao Ran carefully admired the painting for a while, and then pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Miura Guangnan, and asked curiously:
“Boss Miura, what is the situation of this “Fishing Tree Ask the Right Picture”?” Can you tell us about it?
“If I’m not mistaken, this painting should be a fragment, and the part that originally had the inscription and stamp has disappeared
” “Fortunately, the main part of the painting has been preserved, but it is no longer possible to confirm who the author
is” “Another thing is, what is the Japanese style framing on the outside of the painting?” This is obviously secondary framing
” “From this framing technology, as well as the cheap materials used, it can be basically determined that this should be framed in Japan in the early fifties of the last century
” “Ah!”
Several Japanese, including Miura Konan, exclaimed in unison.
Without exception, these guys were taken aback by Xiao Ran’s words.
Even the Japanese framing of the early fifties of the last century can be seen? Really fake? How is this possible? It’s amazing!
After some shock, Miura Konan quickly stepped forward, and then bowed in admiration.
“Mr. Sean, your vision is so sharp and admirable!”
“I didn’t expect that you even know the Japanese framing technology of the early fifties of the last century, it’s incredible!”
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then explained two sentences.
“Actually, it’s nothing, I have seen a few paintings using this framing technique, I have seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York!”
“That’s why I recognize this Japanese framing technique
” “So it is, it’s still very admirable,”
Miura said abruptly, and then began to introduce the scroll.
“Mr. Sean, this painting from China should be an ancient painting, yes, it is old!”
“But how old it is, and which ancient painter it is, I don’t know!”
“A year and a half ago, an old woman in her seventies came to my shop with this painting and prepared to sell
it” “I saw that although this painting was incomplete, it was of good quality, so I accepted it
” “According to the old woman, this painting was handed down by her father’s generation, but her father died very early, and the origin of this painting is not explained
” “During the bombing of Tokyo in the late World War II, the room where the painting was stored was blown up by the US military, When cleaning up the garbage afterwards, only some of the residual paintings were recovered!
“The part that was burned is the part with the inscription and stamp, and the main body of the painting has survived
” “It was not until the early fifties that the old woman’s father reframed the painting, and it became what it is now”
Next, Miura Konan, continued to introduce the painting.
After receiving the painting, he had asked for appraisal several times.
Unfortunately, no one has been able to identify the provenance of the painting or determine its value.
The only thing that is certain is that this is indeed an ancient painting.
However, it is impossible to determine which dynasty it came from and how many years old it is.
Through the five-sentence poem in the upper right corner of the painting, several experts agreed that
the painting should have been created sometime during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This appraisal result did not help to enhance the value of the painting.
Regarding this information, Miura Konnan is not very willing to say it.
He didn’t want to ask for a sky-high price and take this opportunity to make a big profit.
However, he knew it very well in his heart.
If you do that, you will definitely be self-defeating, but it will be self-defeating.
How sharp Xiao Ran’s eyes were, he had already heard about it, and he had just seen a little.
Facing such a top expert in antique art appraisal, how dare he play any tricks.
After listening to his introduction, Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and then said with a smile:
“Behind this “Fishing Tree Questioning Picture”, I didn’t expect that there are so many stories hidden, very
interesting” “Such an interesting ancient painting, it is worth studying
” “Boss Miura, I want to buy this painting, bring it back to study, you make a price!”
“Ah, you want to buy this ancient painting of unknown origin?”
Miura Guangnan said in surprise, slightly surprised.
“That’s right, I want to buy this painting and see if I can find something,”
Xiao Ran nodded and replied.
When the words fell, Miura Konnan was silent and did not give an answer immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at this “Fishing Tree Questioning Picture” again, and his eyes were full of doubt.
Unfortunately, he didn’t make any new discoveries.
In his eyes, this is still a broken ancient painting of unknown origin, with limited value.
After thinking for a moment, he made an offer.
“Mr. Sean, the price of this “Fishing Tree Questioning Picture” is 5,000
US dollars” “If you can accept this offer, this painting will belong to you
” Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ran immediately nodded and responded:
“Okay, 5,000 US dollars, deal, I want this ancient painting”
Saying that, he touched his elbow with Miura Guangnan and finalized the art deal.
He was so crisp that he suddenly put Miura Guangnan in order!
Miura Guangnan was stunned again, and suddenly had a feeling that something was wrong in his heart!
Could it be that this ancient painting from China is a masterpiece? Himself picked up by this guy Sean?
At this moment, Anthony suddenly came to Xiao Ran’s side and reported in a low voice:
“Sean, there are a few Japanese outside, and the person at the head said that he is the director of the Tokyo Museum
” “They just went to the hotel and wanted to see you, but they pounced
” “I heard that you came to Ginza, so they followed and didn’t let them in?”
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to respond, Miura Guangnan exclaimed.
“Ah! The director of the Tokyo National Museum is here, did I hear correctly?
With that, the guy walked quickly towards the door of the antique shop.
Yuqiao asked about the map
