When Shen Wenxin and Yi Xiaojun left the Youzha Village again, there was already an additional camphor wood box on the trunk of the QQ car, which contained the original manuscript of "Crane Tower Collection" by the fifth grade literati in the early Qing Dynasty and the sixth grade bronze warm inkstone in the early Qing Dynasty.

The reason why this manuscript is of great value is that Shen Wenxin is still confused. Logically speaking, if it is not a manuscript written by the original author, the historical value should not reach the level of fifth grade?

Could it be that this writer has a relatively high historical status? Shen Wenxin's attainment in this area is a layman and has not carefully studied this manuscript. Since it can reach the level of fifth grade, it can be seen that the overall value of the manuscript must be very high.

Moreover, the so-called writing of the early Qing literati inferred by Shen Wenxin was also based on Lu Jingbai's words and conclusions of the Warm Inkstone. In fact, it is not appropriate to make arbitrarily interrogate. Perhaps it is possible that famous literati of the same period may be. Unfortunately, this person did not have a signature. Judging from the handwriting alone, it is difficult to infer which master this was written by anyone. From the perspective of calligraphy, it is still of great appreciation value.

And what is commendable is the copying of the original manuscript, which is reasonable to reach the fifth grade.

In any case, Shen Wenxin and Yi Xiaojun cooperated for the first time and picked up two big holes, which greatly boosted the antique shop that was about to open and strengthened their confidence.

Yi Xiaojun sent Shen Wenxin back to the door of Longcheng High School. Yi Xiaojun said, "You should keep your baby, after all, it's safer in the school."

"Okay, monk, you are more familiar with business. If possible, you can buy all the nearby stores, expand the site and then decorate them. At least you need a vault and various treasure boxes, and you must also get the business license."

"This is not a big problem. My father bought the shops on both sides of my snack shops, but the storefront of the digital store was too big and unsuitable, so it was separated and it could still be expanded by 100 square meters."

"Did the leased contract expire?"

"Haha, I added one at the beginning. When Party A intends to requisition, Party B must move out within a week and say hello to them in advance. The rent is not very high."

"You guys, you're good. Such a big store is enough to open an antique shop." In fact, it's also a small antique shop of more than ten square meters. Shen Wenxin's customer base is limited to the middle class and he doesn't plan to make any modern handicrafts, but with such a large venue, there will be many development models.

The store and procedures were all handed over to Yi Xiaojun. His card was about 700,000 yuan, and it was more than enough to decorate it. Moreover, the antique shop was not in a hurry to operate for a while, just take it slowly. The main thing was the source of goods. Although there were two treasures in the store, some other mid- and low-end old items had to be prepared, so that the antique shop seemed to have a rich variety.

The venue is too big, and Shen Wenxin plans to do the storefront, such as the decoration of modern handicrafts and the supply of goods, he thinks he can find Ding Liming. After all, he is the owner of the antique shop in Longcheng, so this little busy should not be a problem.

As for the source of genuine products, Shen Wenxin still believes in the principle of making enough food and clothing by himself. Instead of spending a lot of money to buy at auction houses or other antique shops, why not continue to pick up bargains?

Moreover, Shen Wenxin is enjoying this kind of Taobao fun more and more. Perhaps different from others is that he can do it to a 100% level without being slap, which can further inspire people to find bargains. If he keeps slap in the eye, there will definitely be psychological shadows.

While going upstairs, Shen Wenxin believed that Yi Xiaojun should be allowed to use his specialties to deal with the miscellaneous items in the antique shop, and he could concentrate on picking up bargains outside. After understanding this, Shen Wenxin was not very eager to care about the supply of goods, and the preparation and construction of the antique shop was not urgent.

"The Longcheng Antique Store was handed over to General Yi Xiaojun, and I went outside to pick up bargains. After all, he was good at dealing with the three religions and other ranks." Shen Wenxin had this idea, but it was not on a whim. From the decision to cooperate with Yi Xiaojun, he probably planned the work direction of the two major shareholders, which was summarized as Shen Wenxin, who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was

Just returned home, it was Shen Zhongxing, and Lu Feng came home after class. He didn't return home last night. To be honest, the two elders were still very worried. However, Shen Wenxin's health is not in a state of mind, and parents cannot protect him for the rest of their lives. Let go when it's time.

"Wenxin, I didn't go crazy with Xiaojun last night, right? What is in this box?" Lu Fenglai saw Shen Wenxin moving a box and was puzzled. Yi Xiaojun's nature is not bad, but it is hard to guarantee that he would not be influenced by some of his friends, which made Shen Wenxin not do his job properly.

"Mom, this is the treasure I bought! Dad, come and have a look."

"Do you think the babies are all cabbages on the side of the road. You pick them up just by saying that you can pick them up? I don't believe that your eyesight will be higher than those of experts." Lu Fenglai was close to him and opened the box to look at the things inside. Judging from his first feeling, he did look like an old person. Although as a history teacher, Lu Fenglai did not have this kind of appreciation knowledge. He said with his own opinion: "This book and the inkstone seem to be a bit old. Wenxin, do you spend a lot of money? Don't be deceived."

"Don't worry, mom, didn't I say that I worked in Shangsi Wenwen Management Office for a year for nothing? I learned a lot of appraisal knowledge from Director Zhao. Didn't I just bought two treasures a few days ago and earned about one million? You should have confidence in me, and recently I plan to open an antique shop with Xiaojun."

It is normal for young people to be complacent when they achieve some achievements. After all, Shen Zhongxing was an educator and did not accuse Shen Wenxin of his words. Instead, he picked up the parchment book. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, influenced by European and Manchu people, literati at that time liked to write some important words into parchment. Compared paper and silk had to be kept for hundreds of years. Without professional maintenance methods, it was difficult to achieve.

Perhaps it was because the handwritten manuscripts gave up traditional writing materials and used parchment paper in order to let future generations see the manuscript of this book. Some important European documents were also written in parchment paper, and they had a lot of communication with the West at that time.

It can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a lot of collision between the East and West culture between the missionaries and the literati, so it was not strange to use parchment.

The reason why ancient books in the East are left in the past few generations is mainly because of the writing materials. Papermaking has facilitated cultural exchanges between society, but it rarely allows Chinese people to see the original manuscripts of ancient people. However, there is also a saying that "paper lives for a thousand years". In the sense of this, it is usually called rice paper. However, generally speaking, in ancient times, there is nowhere to use rice paper in ordinary people. It is a high-end luxury!

Even some literati rarely use rice paper, which is of high value. Moreover, the long life span of rice paper is directly related to the preservation method. Relatively speaking, the preservation of parchment does not require too many professional methods. It is not easy to survive with the changes of the times.

Shen Zhongxing compared the handwriting of ancient people in his memory word by word. As a Chinese teacher, Shen Zhongxing's calligraphy is also good, so he will copy the calligraphy of famous calligraphers in his spare time. Such small regular script is quite the style of Zhong Yao, calm and square. However, the author of the "Chenlou Collection" on the pages of the calligraphy, the words "Chilou Collection" are written in cursive script. The pen is free and willful and free, and often rises from the vertical strokes. The emotions are ups and downs and unstoppable, showing a stunning and majestic power and the style of Wang Xizhi.

The two kinds of calligraphy complement each other. Although they have the legacy of their predecessors, they do not lose their own style, forming a brand new calligraphy.

After studying it repeatedly for a long time, Shen Zhongxing lowered his head and thought, but didn't say much, which made Shen Wenxin surprised and said to himself: "Does my dad know the origin of the handwritten person?"

If this is the case, then there is a set of reference standards for determining its value in the market.

"Dad, do you know who the writer is?"

The two treasures made Shen Wenxin take back the camphor wood box, and the three of them sat in the hall. Shen Zhongxing's abnormality even made Lu Fenglai wonder.

"Old Shen, you said, "What a deep pretender, you are all your own family."

"I looked at the handwriting in the book and had a guess, but I was just not sure."

"What guess?" Shen Wenxin said impatiently. Shen Wenxin did not know much about calligraphy in the antique industry and could not judge who the writer was. However, by touching the treasure, he knew that this object must be extraordinary, a fifth-grade treasure chest! In ancient times, the fifth-grade was the highest grade of the Imperial Hospital.

It is already rare for a so-called craftsman to reach the fifth grade.

"I think it was Wang Duo, a native of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The "Silent Poetry History" written by Jiang Shao of the Qing Dynasty said that it was "the father and son of Shanyin (Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi) in running and cursive scripts. Zhong Yuanchang was born in the regular script. Even though he modeled Zhong and Wang, he could also come out of his own thoughts.' It corresponds to my observation."

Wang Duo was not sure. He was a Jinshi during the Tianqi period. He was appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. In the early Qing Dynasty, he was still appointed as the Minister of Rites, the Bachelor of Hongwen Academy, and the Prince Shaobao. He served as a senior official in two courts of different regimes. His calligraphy achievements were extremely outstanding, and he created a "inspiring" style in painting.

The so-called "ink rise" refers to the phenomenon that ink overflows beyond the strokes.

The modern calligrapher, "Caughter Saint", Lin San, called his cursive script "the first person since Huaisu of the Tang Dynasty."

Moreover, the market value of his calligraphy is millions without exception, and there are still many works left in the world, but most of them are stone carvings, letters, calligraphy, and inscriptions. They include "Jishanyuan Tie" and "Langhuaguan Tie", which are deeply loved by collectors abroad.

His paintings include "The Picture of Xiao Xian in the Fishing Boat" in the third year of Shunzhi (1646), "The Picture of Snow Scenery and Landscapes" in the fourth year of Yongli (1650), and his work was dismissed from office and returned home by the Manchu government in the fifth year of Yongli (1651), and "The Picture of Orchid and Stones" and "The Picture of Landscapes".

So there are many templates for Wang Duo’s handwriting. After hearing this, Shen Wenxin immediately said, “I’ll check it online.”

After about half an hour, Shen Wenxin compared the works left by Wang Duo. After repeated comparisons, he finally confirmed that this was Wang Duo's handwriting.

After comprehensive consideration, Shen Wenxin believes that the value of this work fluctuates between 2 million and 5 million.

As for why Wang Duo copied Zhang Chong's work "Chenlou Collection" because it was too long, Shen Wenxin could not tell me why.

Perhaps Wang Duo was quite respectful of Zhang Chong, a Jinshi in Jiajing for 32 years. After all, the two lived in a long time. Zhang Chong died of illness in 1579, and Wang Duo was born in 1592. He admired Zhang Chong's courage to fight Yan Song.

"Dad, this is Wang Duo's work! And the most valuable thing is that Wang Duo copied the original manuscript of Zhang Chong's "Chenlou Collection". Under the comprehensive evaluation of historical value and artistic value, this book is of great value!"

"Indeed, Wen Xin, your luck is so good. Even if you don't know who the copywriter is, you dare to take it down. Your courage is commendable!"

"Haha, the brave are fearless, relatively speaking, this warm inkstone is irrelevant."

"I really want to see the style of this inkstone and the Ming Dynasty bronze warm inkstone from a museum! Did you get a 'kick'?" A kick is also called a shot. It is a jargon in the collection industry. I bought it together with the good and the bad ones.

"No, this is a bronze warm inkstone imitated from the early Qing Dynasty. It is not a modern imitation. I can guarantee this."

"How much did I buy it?" This is the topic Lu Fenglai is concerned about, after all, it is related to Shen Wenxin's career.

"Three hundred thousand, but..."

When Shen Zhongxing heard that it was only 300,000 yuan, he couldn't even close his mouth and said in a smacking manner: "It's only 300,000 yuan. The handwriting of Wang Duo alone exceeded 300,000 yuan. It's all millions. And according to the warm inkstone you said, it's not expensive!"

"But what?" Lu Fenglai didn't care about the amount of money, but the subsequent topic. 300,000 is already a lot for ordinary people. Although he knew that the value of these two treasures was much greater than 300,000, he also knew that it was not that simple. He thought that Shen Wenxin and the seller had made some improper transactions.
