    The old man who looked like a senior intellectual walked up to the stall and shouted a few times. However, the old man who set up the stall seemed to have difficulty hearing, and the people around him felt deafened, but he was still comparing prices with the person opposite.  This made the old man very embarrassed, so he had to step forward and pat his shoulder.  Only then did the old man react. He looked back at the old man and said hello: "Oh, it's Professor Niu!" After the Professor Niu said hello, he didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Have you brought anything with you?"  Are you coming?" "Yes, I brought it!" The old man nodded, and then took out something wrapped in linen. At this time, the people around him were already attracted by the conversation between the two, and they were all curious.  He looked at the rolls of linen with his heart.  When he opened it, the middle-aged man who looked like a rich man discovered that what was inside was a painting box. This box was a pull-out type painting box. The box was rectangular in shape and looked as golden as amber.  , the patina is crystal clear, and although the style is very simple, it is very simple and natural, and looks very extraordinary.  And what excited the middle-aged man was that if he read correctly, this painting box was probably made of huanghuali. The boxes were all made of such good materials. What did the paintings inside look like?  They all find it a bit unimaginable!  Professor Niu very carefully pulled out the lid of the box and took out a calligraphy work inside. Why did the middle-aged man think it was a calligraphy work? Because the scroll was too narrow. He roughly estimated that it was less than thirty centimeters. He really  I didn¡¯t believe there could be such a narrow painting.  But the reality was far beyond his expectation. This work was really just a painting.  The painting is very narrow and not long.  The length seemed to be only fifty or sixty centimeters. Professor Niu opened the scroll bit by bit.  After looking at it very carefully, I took out the magnifying glass I brought with me.  There is a poem in small running script above this painting.  Below is a pine and cypress, and there are multiple seals on it.  As if he were looking at some rare treasure, Professor Niu paid close attention to the words written on the painting, the ink and charm used in the pines and cypresses, the seal, the paper of the painting, the mounting of the scroll, etc.  I looked at the whole picture again.  Professor Niu stared at it for half an hour, and the middle-aged man also watched motionless.  But he didn't feel tired because he was deeply attracted by the painting.  The middle-aged man actually doesn¡¯t know much about calligraphy and painting appraisal, but he learned from books that many famous paintings were collected by dignitaries in the past. Generally, people with status will put their own stamp on the paintings they collect.  seal, and the seal on this painting happened to be someone he knew, and it was called "The Treasure of the Bazheng Cang Nian" When the middle-aged man saw this seal, he was shocked in his heart.  Because he knew from the book that this seal inscription was specially made by Emperor Qianlong in 1790 to commemorate the 55th year of his reign and celebrate his 80th birthday.  The contents of Qianlong's "Ba Zheng Nian Zhi Bao" were repeatedly engraved on 37 squares, and Qianlong personally made almost every seal.  The giant "Ba Zheng Cang Nian Zhi Bao" seal is usually only displayed in the palace, while the small "Ba Zheng Cang Nian Zhi Bao" seal is often used in calligraphy and painting works.  Therefore, the middle-aged man thinks.  The work in front of me must have been Qianlong's favorite at that time.  Professor Niu finally finished reading this painting.  He carefully put the scroll away and put it back in the box.  Then he asked: "How much does this painting cost?" The old man did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around and looked at everyone's expressions, then stretched out a finger and said: "We are also old acquaintances. I  It¡¯s not an outrageous price, just ten thousand!¡± Professor Niu was shocked when he heard the price offered by the old man: ¡°Ten thousand? It¡¯s too expensive! Just five thousand, okay?¡±  Professor Niu alone and others were quite surprised when they heard the asking price of ten thousand yuan. Ten thousand yuan. Although there are many households with ten thousand yuan these days, it is still a very respectable term, and a painting actually costs  Ten thousand yuan, no wonder the people around him looked surprised.  But the middle-aged man was very scornful of everyone's performance. What a bunch of idiots, they only had 10,000 yuan, but they made such a fuss!  You must know that this is Qianlong's favorite calligraphy treasure. It can be sold for at least one or two million if it changes hands. Where can you find such a good thing?  "You are no longer interested. I told you that I would no longer play tricks and offered you a real price. Why are you still making such an outrageous counteroffer?" The old man shook his head repeatedly and his attitude was very firm.  "It should be cheaper. I also earn two dead wages. Ten thousand yuan is really too much!" After saying that, Professor Niu looked down at the painting box in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "How about this? I  I only brought a total of 7,000 yuan today. I¡¯ll give you these 7,000 yuan. Why?Sample?  "The old man still shook his head unmoved. "Eight thousand!  "Professor Niu was a little anxious. When the old man saw Professor Niu's anxious look, he relaxed and said: "Because you are a regular customer, I will discount you 10%, nine thousand yuan, you can take it!  " "Don't mention it, just eight thousand, it's not too little!  "Professor Niu said anxiously after hearing this. "Only nine thousand. If you say eight thousand, I won't sell you nine thousand!  "The old man's tone of voice was already a little angry. Professor Niu was at a loss when he heard it, so he had to say: "Okay, nine thousand is nine thousand, but I only brought eight thousand this time. We are also old acquaintances. I  I'll give you eight thousand first. You give me the painting first, and I'll take the money to replenish it later. Do you think that's okay?  "    "no!  Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, this matter is not negotiable!  "The old man's attitude was extremely firm, and he stretched out one hand to pull the painting over. Seeing this, Professor Niu looked helpless and could only say: "Then you must keep the painting for me, I will be back soon!  "After saying that, he hurriedly walked away. Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the people around him all left after a while, leaving only the middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy man. "  Sir, can I sell that painting?  "The middle-aged man said when he saw that there was no one around him. The old man shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, although I am poor, I keep my word and cannot do such treacherous things.  " The middle-aged man persuaded: "Uncle, you have to be true to your word. Look, that person just brought eight thousand, but he still said he only brought seven thousand. What credibility do you have for such a person?  It's easy to talk. If he is just talking, wouldn't you wait in vain?  " "This" The old man seemed to be moved by the middle-aged man's words, and hesitated for a moment. "I'll add two hundred more!  "The middle-aged man stretched out two fingers and shook them. The old man still looked thoughtful. "Five hundred!  " "Eight hundred!  Uncle, you see, in the factory now, it takes several months to earn eight hundred yuan. If you just buy rice with this money, it will be enough to feed a family of five for a year.  " Hearing this, the old man was finally moved and asked: "You didn't lie to me?  "    "That is!  The middle-aged man patted the bag he was carrying and said, "We pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand!"  "    "OK!  This painting is yours!  " Hearing that the old man agreed, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He quickly counted 9,800 yuan from his bag and handed it over. When the old man confirmed that it was correct, he quickly took the painting box and left in a hurry. At this time, the old man  There was also a weird smile on his face Seeing all this, Du Hou shook his head repeatedly, but this kind of thing is not only common in the antique industry, but it is not uncommon, although he is very concerned about this kind of crooked ways.  He looked down upon it, but he couldn't control this kind of fight. The most he could do was hope that the middle-aged man would learn from it. Originally, this matter was just a small episode.  But what made Du Hou a little depressed was that during the few months he was in the capital, he actually encountered this group of people one after another. Of course, it was impossible to meet this group of people in the same place, but seeing others in  Being deceived in front of him really made him very angry. So when Du Hou met the group for the fourth and last time, he couldn't help but walk over and try to mess with the scam Listen.  At this point, Chu Chen said with a sudden expression: "Mr. Du, I think you got this purple clay pot here!  But you are really brave. They have a group of people, but you are only one, and you are not afraid that they will do harm to you?  " "Don't be afraid!  "Du Hou said with a smile: "I thought of this as soon as I walked to the stall, and I gave up. But just when I was about to turn around and leave, I accidentally saw this gall pot.  I thought this pot was a fake, but after taking a closer look, I realized that it was not what I thought at all. This pot was probably the real thing.  " Chu Chen nodded clearly, but he was very concerned about what happened to that group of people, so he asked: "What happened to that group of people?  " Du Hou shook his head and said: "I don't know this clearly. Later, it seemed that the group disappeared for some reason.  " "I know this!  "Uncle Wu said with a smile: "That group of people had been playing tricks in major antique markets in the capital, which aroused public outrage. Finally, everyone mobilized and arrested this group of people. Moreover, it happened to be a period of severe crackdown.  The mastermind has probably not come out yet!  " "No wonder!  "Du Hou suddenly said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Chu, you also know that I don't know much about tea ceremony.Interested, this gall pot is a waste of money if you leave it here with me. I will transfer this pot to you for one million!  " Chu Chen was shocked when he heard this and said: "How is this possible!  " You must know that this is a spring pot, and Chu Chen can be sure that it is authentic. If you want to talk about its value, let alone one million, even ten million is not much. Therefore, how can Chu Chen accept it?  ?    "alright!  Du Hou waved his hand and said: "I am an old man, why do I need so much money? The rest is just a reward for helping me find the Yuanqinghua piece. We have settled this matter!"  " (To be continued)
