Chapter 93 Get the hell out of here!
Yang Jing could see that Mr. Yang really didn't plan to ask for the appraisal fee.
In fact, a collector as old as Mr. Yang has a very strong net worth.
Not to mention anything else, the calligraphy and paintings that can be seen in this room are not worth less than five million national coins, let alone the treasures treasured in the old man's study.
In fact, even Yang Jing’s grandfather has been playing with antiques for so many years, and if all the things he has accumulated are taken, he must not say, but it is absolutely fine to raise seven or eight million.
Yang Jing alone knew that my grandfather had a three-color underglaze flower and bird pattern bowl that was bought from the ghost market in the 1990s. If that bowl was taken out and taken for sale, it would have to be at least three million.
But these things are the flesh of these old people's hearts, and it is absolutely impossible to take action in their lifetime.
So, these old men are not short of money, they are really not short of money...
These five pages of book pages were completely removed after nearly an hour with the careful operation of Mr. Yang.
Then the old man carefully put the five pages of the book into a brocade box and handed them over to his grandfather.
As for how to preserve these five pages of precious Song Shu carvings, let alone grandpa, even Yang Jing himself knew how to operate them.
Of course, with Mr. Yang's craftsmanship, the "Huajian Ji" that was dismantled was also rebound, and it was impossible to see that the book had been dismantled.
Mr. Yang has studied with Master Qigong for six years. Who is Master Qigong? He is recognized as a master of calligraphy and painting in China and is a collector. The master not only has a deep foundation in calligraphy and painting, but also is recognized as the first person in the country in terms of appraisal. The most important thing is that the master also has extremely skilled calligraphy and painting repair skills.
Mr. Yang has been studying with Master Qi Gong for so many years, but he has learned Master Qi Gong's skills a lot.
Now that Master Qigong is gone, although Mr. Yang lives in his hometown of Tianqu City, even if his calligraphy and painting repair skills are in China, he is one of the top-notch ones.
Now that Mr. Yang is old, he doesn't take action easily. In the past, this old man was often invited by well-known domestic museums such as the Palace Museum, the Shanghai Museum, and the Jinling Museum to repair some ancient calligraphy and painting books.
The old man gave the "Huajian Ji" that was missing five pages and handed it to his grandfather in a brocade box, and then said to Yang Jing: "Child, please save this book and those five pages. These are all rare cultural heritage items in our country now. Especially those five pages of Song Shu carvings, even if you look at the whole country, it is extremely rare!"
Yang Jing understood what the old man said. He was worried that Yang Jing would sell these five pages of Song Shu carving for money.
However, Yang Jing really didn't have this idea. If it were a different Song-engraved version, Yang Jing might have sold it, but these five pages of Song-Shu engravings were really rare, and Yang Jing was really reluctant to sell them.
Currently, there are no more than 1,200 Song-engraved books available nationwide. Most of these Song-engraved books are national first-class protected cultural relics, and most of them are treasured in major museums and several large libraries. Very few are lost among the people.
Although these five pages of Song Shu carving are just broken pages, they are more rare in thin gold-style Song Shu carvings. Their value is definitely no worse than a complete Song-carving book. If you take a photo, even if the quality is not very good, taking one or two million national coins is the same as playing. How can Yang Jing be willing to sell such a precious thing? The best choice is to collect it yourself.
Compared with the things I got from the previous bargaining, these five pages of Song Shu carvings may not be as valuable as those three sketches by Picasso, and they cannot be compared with the Patek Philippe World Time watch they wore on their wrists, but Yang Jing prefers these five pages of Song Shu carvings.
This is the carrier of the inheritance of Chinese civilization, and its meaning is far greater than its own value!
So Yang Jing said respectfully: "Grandpa Yang, don't worry, even if I sell myself, I will not take advantage of these five pages of Song Shu carving. The best way to collect such precious pages is to collect them yourself."
Hearing Yang Jing's words so affirmed, the old man nodded with a smile, as if he had recognized Yang Jing's words, and then he handed a test paper to Yang Jing himself.
Yang Jing could only bow and thank him for this.
At noon, my uncle said he would invite Mr. Yang to a good deal. After all, the appraisal fee was not collected, which was tens of thousands of yuan. It was absolutely necessary to invite the man to have a meal.
The old man smiled and declined the invitation to eat. My uncle wanted to invite him again. The old man spoke: "Why are you so polite to me? When you were young, you forgot when you followed me and your father and you were shopping in the ghost market? And Xiaojing, I have hugged him a lot when he was young. It's our relationship. You kid is still polite to me. Is it because you are asking for scolding? The biggest contribution you have served your father well. OK, stop talking, get out of here!"
In desperation, Yang Jing could only help his grandfather and uncle out together. Of course, Mr. Yang had to send him out. He was not giving away Yang Jing and uncle, but his old friend.
Grandpa and Mr. Yang have known each other for more than 30 years, so their relationship is naturally unusual. Now, do you feel good about being Mr. Yang? At their age, the most incredible thing is that old friends get sick or even die. For old people of their age, every time they lose an old friend, it is like a knife in their hearts.
After getting on the bus, my grandfather woke up for a rare moment. Looking at the old man who was still standing at the entrance of the corridor, my grandfather's eyes were wet.
"Xiaolong, if you have nothing to do, bring me to your Uncle Yang's place to see. Alas... there are not many old friends back then...."
My uncle is a filial son, so he naturally agreed to his father's order.
After returning home for lunch, Yang Jing thought about it and walked into his grandfather's house and handed over the two brocade boxes filled with "Huajian Ji" and the five pages of Song Shu to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, you have always liked calligraphy and paintings and ancient books. It is not convenient for me to keep these two things, so I'd better keep them here. Today, I saw that Grandpa Yang also likes these five pages of Song Shu carved. If you visit Grandpa Yang in the future, wouldn't it be nice to take them to taste them?"
Grandpa nodded and said, "If you want to stay here, stay here. I'll keep it for you. If these five pages of Song Shu Ke cannot be kept well."
Yang Jing held the two brocade boxes and placed them on the ancient shelf in his grandfather's house. He saw that his grandfather was a little tired, so he slowly walked out of his grandfather's house.
