God Level Farm

Panjiayuan Flea Market is one of the largest collection and distribution centers for antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the capital. Every day, countless people go to Taobao, dreaming of picking up leaks and getting rich overnight. Of course, there are also a lot of fakes here, even for experienced collectors. Often fooled.

Xia Ruofei has been thinking about going to the capital for a few days when he has time. Of course, he did not want to pick up leaks, but wondered whether he would be lucky enough to find the boundary stone here.

The bounding stone that is extremely precious to him is an unremarkable black stone in the eyes of ordinary people.

Panjiayuan has all kinds of strange things every day. Maybe there are small traders who receive boundary stones outside, and they don't know what it is, so they put them on the stalls for sale.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei still has a trace of expectation in his heart.

The three of them took two cars respectively and went directly to the Panjiayuan Flea Market.

Panjiayuan Flea Market is located near the South Road of the East Third Ring Road in the capital city.

When he came out of the parking lot, Xia Ruofei felt a trace of disappointment in his heart, because the jade talisman he was hanging did not sense the existence of the boundary stone, and there was not even a trace of heat.

However, Panjiayuan occupies a large area, and the sensing range of the jade talisman may not be able to cover the entire area. Besides, he just came here with the mentality of hitting the big luck. It is naturally the best to have a harvest. Too lost, right should be a pastime.

Today happens to be the weekend, the whole market is fully open, and there are a lot of people visiting here. The bustling is like a temple fair.

After entering the door, the three walked all the way, and Xia Ruofei also had an intuitive understanding of Panjiayuan's confusion.

In just one or two hundred meters, Xia Ruofei has been fortunate enough to see several "yuan blue and white" porcelains, as well as Xuande stoves, chicken pots, etc., as well as a large number of "authentic works" by Zheng Banqiao and Qi Baishi...

As for the authenticity of these things, it is self-evident.

And along the way, I often heard those street vendors and Taobao customers telling all kinds of bizarre stories, which eunuchs from Cixi smuggled out of the palace, and which relatives in the countryside happened to dig up ancient tombs and found them, and these vendors He also deliberately lowered his voice, with a mysterious look.

Seven-point story and three-point treasure, if an antique does not have a few twists and turns and bizarre stories, it is embarrassing to sell it.

There are also some rougher conspiracies, such as pretending that buyers are coaxing them to buy at high prices, such as deliberately quarreling with the "customers", accidentally revealing the baby information, and so on.

Zhao Yongjun is obviously a frequent visitor of Panjiayuan. He is very clear about these tricks to fool tourists, and he explains to Xia Ruofei as he walks.

Xia Ruofei didn't have the intention of speculating and picking up leaks, so he laughed at these strange status quo, and Quan should just watch the fun.

Soon the three of them passed through the stall area where dragons and snakes were mixed, and came to the shop area. There were shops on both sides of the street, most of them were decorated in antique style, and their names were quite ancient.

These shops also sell a variety of commodities, including the four treasures of the study, ancient calligraphy and painting, old books and periodicals, antique jade ware, bamboo and wood bone carvings, religious tokens and so on.

Xia Ruofei walked all the way. Although he did not enter the store, he felt eye-opening when he saw the dazzling variety of goods.

For a while,

Zhao Yongjun led Xia Ruofei and Song Rui to the door of an antique shop called Boyazhai. Zhao Yongjun should be very familiar with this place. He said hello to a young man at the door who was touting customers, and took Xia Ruofei and Song Rui walked straight in.

Zhao Yongjun did not stop at the store, but walked directly through the hall and walked up the second floor of the store from the stairs behind.

The decoration on the second floor is full of ancient flavors. Various calligraphy and paintings, plaques, hanging screens, bonsai, porcelain, antiques, screens, Bogu shelves, etc. are scattered in a scattered layout. .

Zhao Yongjun was very familiar with this place, and as soon as he went upstairs, he shouted: "Qianzi! What good things are there?"

On the side of the second floor facing the street are two large Xuan windows. There are several people sitting around the Gendiao Teahouse beside the Xuan windows. After they heard Zhao Yongjun's voice, they immediately turned their heads and looked over.

When one of the men in his early thirties saw Zhao Yongjun, he immediately showed a warm smile, got up and shouted respectfully, "Brother Jun, you are here!"

Several other people also greeted Zhao Yongjun one after another.

Zhao Yongjun nodded carelessly and said, "Qiangzi, I brought two good brothers over to watch the fun, this is Xia Ruofei, this is Song Rui!"

Then Zhao Yongjun said to Xia Ruofei and Song Rui: "He is Xu Qiang, the boss of this Boya Restaurant, you can just call him Qiangzi."

Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Xu Qiang, "Boss Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Song Rui also nodded lightly.

Xu Qiang said quickly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare, Xia Shao, Song Shao, just call me Qiangzi."

This Xu Qiang was in his early thirties, and he was older than Xia Ruofei and Song Rui, but in front of them, Xu Qiang did not dare to be slighted.

Although Zhao Yongjun has a forthright personality and has many friends in the antique circle, there are few who can be called good brothers by him, and Xia Ruofei and Song Rui have an extraordinary bearing at first glance, so Xu Qiang also knows that these two are mostly the same as Zhao Yongjun. He is the young master in the upper circle of the capital.

Then Zhao Yongjun introduced a few people next to Xia Ruofei and Song Rui.

One of them was wearing a Tang suit, with white hair and beard, and an old man named Guo Ruchen. He was the vice president of the Beijing Antiques Association, and he was quite famous in the antique circle.

There is also a wealthy man in his 40s, wearing a linen short sleeve, with a pair of golden silk bracelets hanging on his hands, and a pipe in his mouth. Smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.

According to Zhao Yongjun's introduction, the rich man's name is An Deming. He is an antique dealer in Jingang City. He has done business with Zhao Yongjun and Xu Qiang several times.

The last person was dressed in a rustic way, and his expression was very restrained, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

According to Xu Qiang's introduction, this rustic middle-aged man is named Wang Xingshui. He is a distant relative of Fatty An in the countryside. This time, Wang Xingshui found the thing in his old country house.

When Xu Qiang introduced, Xia Ruofei's eyes stayed on Wang Xingshui for two more seconds.

Wang Xingshui looks like a peasant. He is quite restrained in the splendid hall, and a little timid, but Xia Ruofei always feels that his dodging eyes are not all because of restraint, and that rustic clothes always wear on him. There is a sense of incongruity.

But Xia Ruofei just came to watch the fun today, so he didn't say anything.

After a brief introduction, Zhao Yongjun asked carelessly, "Qiangzi, where are the things!"

Before Xu Qiang could speak, Fatty An said with a smile, "Brother Jun, this is the incense cabinet that my relatives found in the old house in the countryside. You also give Brother Qiang a thumbs up?"

Fatty An was much older than Xu Qiang and Zhao Yongjun, but when he called him "Brother Jun Qiang", it was very smooth and he didn't have the slightest twist.

Zhao Yongjun's eyes fell on a small wooden cabinet placed on the root carving coffee table, and Xia Ruofei also looked over.

This cabinet is about 80 centimeters high, and it looks dignified and simple, with an ancient charm.

Zhao Yongjun let out a snort, walked over to watch it, and took out a small flashlight he carried with him, and checked it carefully.

"Huh! Is this an old thing from Ying Zimu?" Zhao Yongjun couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

Fatty An said with a smile: "Brother Jun really has good eyesight! This is a family heritage of my distant cousin. Cousin, tell Brother Jun the origin of this object!"

The rustic Wang Xingshui stammered: "This thing is passed down by...my ancestors, listen...I heard from my grandfather, it has been passed down to seven or eight generations! There used to be a matching Buddhist shrine, but not later. I know when I moved and lost it..."

Fatty An also said, "Brother Jun, Brother Qiang, I have seen that Buddhist shrine when I was a child, and I still have an impression that it should be made of red sandalwood! If it were left to this day, it would be worth a lot of money!"

Xia Ruofei's eyesight is better. Although he didn't look closely, he has seen this small incense cabinet more clearly.

He saw some patterns on the wood of this incense cabinet, a bit like the big wavy patterns on the golden nanmu wood he sold to Tang He last time.

Listening to Zhao Yongjun saying "gall wood" just now, Xia Ruofei also roughly guessed it. In fact, the various patterns on the golden nanmu are also formed by the gall tumors caused by the disease of the trunk. It is estimated that the gall wood that Zhao Yongjun said is also the same. a situation.

At this time, Xu Qiang asked with a smile, "Brother Jun, give your palms to your eyes!"

Zhao Yongjun pouted and said, "I'm not very good at the identification of wooden tools, so I can only look at it roughly, Qiangzi, you're looking for the wrong person! By the way, what is Mr. Guo's opinion?"

Guo Ruchen, who looked like a Taoist bone fairy, smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, I don't have a deep research on wooden collections, but this object seems to be an old thing."

Zhao Yongjun nodded and said: "Well, it looks almost like an object from the Ming Dynasty. If it is said that it has been passed down to seven or eight generations, it should be about the same time."

Xu Qiang showed a hint of joy and asked, "Brother Jun, so this cabinet is still reliable?"

Xia Ruofei noticed that Fatty An and Wang Xingshui's eyes quickly met, and they both showed a hint of hidden joy.

Although it was only a short moment, Xia Ruofei was keenly aware that Wang Xingshui's eyes did not have the ignorance of the old country farmer at that moment, but instead had a cunning light.

Xia Ruofei was even more suspicious, but he didn't move, but secretly used his spiritual sense to contact Xia Qing in the space.

Xia Ruofei has no research on antiques, and he wants to ask Xia Qing if he understands this.

Xia Ruofei and Xia Qing communicated with spiritual thoughts, and naturally no one in the room could notice.

Soon, Xia Ruofei released the space restrictions, allowing Xia Qing to see the situation of the small incense cabinet through the space.

As the master of the space, Xia Ruofei has absolute control over the space, and it is naturally easy for Xia Qing to receive the outside world.

As Xia Qing checked it, he communicated with Xia Ruofei with his spiritual sense, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on Xia Ruofei's face.

Here, Zhao Yongjun listened to Xu Qiang's words, he couldn't help but look at the small incense cabinet again, and then said cautiously: "Qianzi, it looks like an old object from the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of thing is full of galls inside and out. Zimu's objects are still relatively rare, but I have relatively little contact with wooden objects, so you can't tell me very well!"

After listening to Zhao Yongjun's words, Xu Qiang was very tangled. On the one hand, he was itching for fear of missing something good; on the other hand, he was worried that he had lost sight of it. It's not that I can't afford to lose, but if it's eye-catching, it won't get a good reputation.

Seeing Xu Qiang's appearance, Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but smile and said: "Qiangzi, since you can't see it, you should ask an expert to see it! You said that you asked Mr. Guo and me to come here, we are not specializing in woodware. Yes, what advice can I give you?"

Xu Qiang actually knew that, but this kind of thing was to find psychological comfort. In fact, he was already very inclined to buy it, and just wanted to hear the opinions of Zhao Yongjun and Guo Ruchen.

If Zhao Yongjun and Guo Ruchen are also optimistic, then Xu Qiang will not hesitate.

Xu Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "I originally wanted to ask President Chen to help him, but he happened to be not in the capital. I heard that a set of Jin Sinan's old items came out from the north of Henan Province..."

Zhao Yongjun curled his lips when he heard the words, and said to Fatty An: "Boss An, or you can wait! Qiangzi must be sincerely wanting to buy it, but he still wants President Chen to help him take a look."

Fatty An said with a wry smile: "Brother Jun, it's not that I don't give face to Brother Qiang. My distant cousin has also encountered a problem at home and is in a hurry to spend money, so he had to sell the family treasure."

Wang Xingshui also said nervously: "My youngest son has leukemia, and the medical bills cost hundreds of thousands! Just waiting for this money to save lives..."

Fatty An then said from the side: "Brother Qiang, if you're not sure, don't worry about it! Boss Xue from the north of the city is also very interested in this incense cabinet, and I will talk to Boss Xue again with my cousin. It's over."

Xu Qiang hurriedly said, "Boss An, don't tell me! I didn't say no, everything has to come first, first come first! I'm not optimistic about it, so what's the matter with you going to Xue Mazi?"

Xue Mazi in the north of the city is also a famous figure in the antique circle, and there are some festivals with Xu Qiang, the two have never dealt with each other.

Xu Qiang was very interested in this gall wood incense cabinet, and when Fatty An said he would sell the incense cabinet to Xue Mazi, Xu Qiang became anxious all of a sudden.

Fatty An said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, I understand the rules! To tell you the truth, Boss Xue has already paid 2.1 million yuan, but I have already promised you, so why don't I come to show you first? If you don't want it, you can't help but let me sell it to Boss Xue!"

Xu Qiang said, "That's for sure. Lao An, you wait..."

"Okay, Brother Qiang, then you can take a good look." Fatty An said with a smile, "But Boss Xue is also pressing hard, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible..."

A thin bead of sweat appeared on Xu Qiang's forehead, and it was obvious that he was also undergoing a fierce psychological struggle.

However, he actually had a preconceived idea of ​​taking this incense cabinet. Under Fatty An's urging, Xu Qiang quickly became heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Boss An, this incense cabinet is...") !!
