Chapter 1 Year Scroll

Fragments of sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and shone on Gu Xunhan's pale face.The upright nose shrugged slightly, and there were two shallow dimples at the corners of the mouth, which showed that the master was sleeping soundly.The messy black hair was casually scattered between the white pillows, partially covering the delicate neck.

??The room that was supposed to be shrouded in silence was broken at this moment. "Ring, ring, ring—" Gu Xunhan's dissatisfied ravings were mixed in the annoying alarm, and almost instantly, a slender jade hand stretched out from the thin quilt , a free and easy sweep, the non-stop ringing alarm clock finally slammed to the ground and made a heroic sacrifice. He put his hand back into the warm quilt, and the person on the bed murmured again. Gu Xunhan pulled the quilt and turned over. The body continues his great Spring and Autumn Dream.

??However, God seemed to be trying to make things difficult for Gu Xunhan. Before she could fall asleep, the phone rang again impatiently. He took a deep breath, wiped his eyes with one hand, picked up the vibrating mobile phone by the bedside with the other hand, connected it in a daze, lay down under the quilt, and shouted angrily in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Who! Something to burn paper, It’s okay to die! The big weekend will let people live!” After finishing speaking with vigor, Gu Xunhan planned to throw away the phone and continue meeting Zhou Gong. ?

?But the voice from the mobile phone was like a thunderbolt on the ground, instantly breaking Gu Xunhan's drowsiness, "Gu Xunhan, if you let me go home and find you still sleeping, you can wait to do it! Remember, put You look like you rolled around in the refugee slum and packed up. I will take you to a customer's house to collect things later. Oh, by the way, you only have 10 minutes now."

??As the gloomy voice stopped, Gu Xunhan jumped up in horror, "I'm so tired! Mom! I got up early! I'm eating!" Yu Yan obviously wouldn't believe such nonsense, Of course he knew his daughter's temper, so he frowned and said, "I don't care if you get up or not, you can figure out what to do when I get back." Yu Yan, who didn't want to listen to his daughter's nonsense, hung up the phone wisely.

Quickly put down the phone, Gu Xunhan slid out of bed holding the imperial decree just promulgated by his lord, before he had time to put on his shoes, he rushed into the bathroom rubbing his sleepy face, and quickly cleaned up his chicken coop Okay, in case my mother doesn't twist her head off and use it as a pillow when she comes back and sees her like this!

??Yu Yan put away his phone, picked up his bag, and walked out of the office. After giving instructions to the clerk, he walked out of his antique shop.The Gu family runs an antique shop called Yuanlai, which was opened by Gu Xunhan's father in his early years.Gu Yu is a professional antique appraiser, specializing in appraising some antique calligraphy and paintings.The main business of this small shop is to appraise some antiques, and the sideline is to sell some small antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. These sources are also obtained by Gu Yu personally going to the ancient Tao market and his friends.

?? However, since Gu Yu and his teacher went to study in Ishikawa City 15 years ago, they have never been back.According to his teacher who came back, Gu Yu disappeared completely after going out alone. Even if he reported to the police, the police did not have the slightest clue.Gu Xunhan was only ten years old that year.

??At that time, because of Gu Yu's disappearance, the business of the store was naturally affected, but fortunately, some of Gu Yu's friends and his teacher took care of him, so Yuanlai did not let Yuanlai close the store.And Yu Yan's efforts were not in vain, Yuanlai gradually got better in the past few years, coupled with his dedicated management and business development, also made Yuanlai gain some fame in Nancheng City in the past few years.And Gu Xunhan, who is about to inherit his father's business, has also studied hard in the past few years, and rolled around in the antique pile with Yu Yan, gradually getting familiar with the antique industry, and contributing to the small shop.

??Here Yu Yan got into the car and drove home, while Gu Xunhan was tidying up his room at home.Gu Xunhan swept up the rubbish on the floor of his room with no regrets, took a deep breath and sat on the chair. Before he could take a few breaths, the phone rang again.

Seeing who the caller was, Gu Xunhan smiled wryly, "No one wanted me to sleep well this morning." He said weakly, "Lan Qi, what's the matter?"

?? The woman on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "Well, don't act like you're about to die. Pull yourself up, I'm here to send you a deal! Your mother must have told you this morning, right?"

"What are you talking about? My mother just said to take me to a customer's house to collect the goods... Wait a minute, it won't be your auction house's goods?"

?? "Hey, how can it be. The goods at my house are not suitable for you at present, how can I give you a way? I can also give you a discount on the handling fee."

??? Gu Xunhan smiled.In my heart, I was secretly grateful to Lan Qi.Since I met Lan Qi in college, I have received a lot of help from her in the past few years, and I always feel sorry for myself. When I want to refuse, Lan Qi complains, saying that I don't regard her as a friend.Gu Xunhan had no choice but to accept Lan Qi's help after so many trips, but he secretly made a plan to repay him in the future.

Lan Qi went on to say, "It's like this. A few days ago, I received an inquiry from a new customer on my mobile phone. There was an ancestral painting at home. There was an accident at home and I needed money urgently. I went for a walk when I had nothing to do. It's passable, there is a lot of damage but there is still room for repair, it looks okay, although it may not be a million dollars, but it should still make you a little profit. So I withheld it and did not report it to the auction house, and the seller Let’s wait for a professional appraiser to tell you the details. Then tell your mother directly, and you will buy some good products for your store next time.”

?? Gu Xunhan was about to say thank you after listening, when Lan Qi's voice came from the microphone again, "If you want to say thank you again, I'm in a hurry with you, well, that's all, your mother is about to come back, so I'll hang up first .See you later!"

?? Before Gu Xunhan could respond, the phone was hung up. Gu Xunhan reluctantly threw the phone aside, and the door of the house opened.

?? "I said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there!" Gu Xunhan quickly got up and rushed to the door, saw Yu Yan in black formal attire standing at the door looking at him, and immediately smiled and said, "Mom, you're back so soon ?”

??Yu Yan put on his glasses, looked at his daughter who was pretending to be obedient, and said helplessly, "Let's pack up and go. Don't make the seller wait too long. I heard from Lan Qi that this time it's a good product. If it's not good, you are too Girl, look at you, stay at home and go to the store, and the two o'clock line didn't see how busy you are."

?? Gu Xunhan said haha, "No way, your daughter and I are very busy. I have been sorting out the new antique materials in the store these days." Then he hugged Yu Yan's arm and shook, "Okay, okay, Hurry up, sir, didn't you say don't keep the seller waiting?" Yu Yan shook his head, glanced at Gu Xunhan, and helplessly raised his hand to touch his daughter's long hair hanging around his waist, "Go Bar."

?? After driving for 10 minutes, the two arrived at an alley. Seeing that the road was too narrow, Yu Yan figured that he could only walk, so he stopped the car and walked into the alley with Gu Xunhan.

??The alley is the kind of alley reserved in the old city. There are small courtyards on both sides. There are some old people who don't want to leave their hometown and plan to spend their old age here.Looking at the sedge covered with bluestone walls in the alley and the old people sitting in twos and threes dozing off in front of their house, they couldn't help feeling a sense of peace in their hearts.

??Not long after walking, a short-haired girl in a white shirt and denim jacket was leaning against the low wall and talking to an elderly man in front of her. Gu Xunhan yelled "Lan Qi!" and waved.Lan Qi turned her head and saw Gu Xunhan and Yu Yan smiling and beckoning.

??Walking to Lan Qi, Yu Yan nodded and greeted Lan Qi, then looked at an old woman sitting on a wooden chair with reading glasses on the edge of the bluestone wall.He is about 70 years old, and against the white hair that seems to be shining in the sun, the spirit on that wrinkled face does not seem to be very good.She held a wooden box trembling slightly in her hand.Seeing the person coming, the old man raised his head and smiled, and said vaguely, "This painting is inherited from my ancestors. Recently, something happened to my son, and I was in a hurry to spend money. I think it might be worth some money. Look at it." Can this be sold for 5 yuan?"

?? Gu Xunhan hurriedly took out the gloves in the bag and put them on, and took out the tools and said, "I won't know until the appraisal, you wait a while." Then he took the black wooden box from the old man's hand steadily , Yu Yan also wore gloves, opened the wooden box, and saw a scroll of painting quietly placed on the red brocade, all implying the love of the owner of the scroll.

?? Lan Qi helped Gu Xunhan to appraise the wooden box, and said in a low voice, "I looked at it just now, and it is a good antique, not like an imitation. It is well preserved after such a long time. But it can be seen that It’s not bad. This thing was forced to sell by the old man’s son who owed gambling debts and was almost forced to die. He only wanted to sell it for [-] yuan to pay off his son’s gambling debts. By the way, the girl in the painting is really nice , look, these ancient times are indeed natural beauties. It’s a picture of beauties admiring the moon!”

"Really? Let me see how beautiful the girl you said is?" Gu Xunhan smiled and carefully opened the scroll, not knowing what he saw at the moment, Gu Xunhan took a deep breath, his face was full of Surprised, he then gently unfolded the scroll with his hands.The painting is dark yellow, which is an inevitable color for every antique painting. Some damage is expected, but fortunately, it is mostly unharmed.

??The thing on the painting is very simple, it is a picture of a beautiful woman under a month.Lan Qi is right, the girls in the paintings are indeed eye-catching, not that they look like real people, after all, Chinese paintings are about artistic conception, and none of the characters in the paintings really look like real people.But this is the beauty of the unknown author who condensed the temperament of this invisible beauty on the paper with only a few strokes. The hazy moonlight is very harmonious with the damaged buildings that should have been abrupt. of the blend.It seems to reproduce the poignant and beautiful scene at that time.

?? Gu Xunhan didn't even know why he said that he thought this painting was poignant at first glance, because probably everyone would think it was very beautiful at first glance, a beauty looking at the scenery under the moon.Unless you see the unremarkable ruins around you, you will re-examine it. It is even estimated that some people will completely ignore the surrounding scenery of the beauty like Lan Qi, and their eyes are only attracted by the moon and the beauty, mistakenly thinking that the beauty is admiring the moon. picture.

?? Gu Xunhan stared at the woman looking up to the sky in the painting. The face that couldn't be seen clearly was blurred by the vicissitudes of time or the author hadn't painted it. She actually saw the woman in the painting crying? !With a tremor in his heart, Gu Xunhan shook off his wild thoughts, and avoided the woman in the painting who almost made him possessed.

?? After some inspection, Gu Xunhan was surprised to find that the painting was not signed, but looking at the women's clothing in the painting, and the artistic conception that feels like the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, it seems to be a painting at the end of Tang Dynasty.However, it is a pity that the painting without the signature of the author and whose name is unknown is of little value even if it is from the Tang Dynasty. The artistic value of the painting has no proof. Even the value of the famous Qing Dynasty masters can't compare.

??Antique paintings are not about the age, but the artistic value. In this way, no matter how old the painting is, it will not be of high value, even if it is preserved well.Although it is strange that this painting does not have any inscriptions, but fortunately, the age is a gimmick, and the technique of this painting is not bad, even if this is a not-so-famous painter, he is not familiar with this far-reaching label. Those on the road can also sell for a good price.After all, in the antique industry, Gu Xunhan felt that as long as it was a genuine product, it was not against his conscience. As for whether it was worth the price, it had nothing to do with him.Gu Xunhan put away the painting and put it back into the box.

??Yu Yan looked at Gu Xunhan's regretful expression and understood it, and said, "Just say how conservative it is." Gu Xunhan glanced at the old man and said, "To tell you the truth, this painting has a history of thousands of years, and it is still preserved. It’s decent, and it’s possible to repair it. But it’s a pity that it doesn’t have the author’s signature, and even if there is an author, it is definitely not the style of a famous Tang Dynasty artist. One can imagine how much the value will be discounted. Although 1000 years of history sounds very precious, But the artistic value is the criterion for judging antique paintings. At most, there is some collection value, and I conservatively estimate that this painting can only sell for [-] at most. Compared with famous artists of the same period, it is nothing like mud." The old man nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay [-] is enough! I sold it to you, can I get the money now? I need it urgently.”

??Yu Yan took out a contract from his bag and said, "Sign the contract and tell me your bank account and I'll call you right away."

?? After the transaction was successful, Gu Xunhan packed the black box in his hands and got into the car with Yu Yan Lanqi.Staring at the dark black box that has experienced vicissitudes, she inadvertently thought of the woman in the painting who seemed to be crying to the moon again in her heart. Why is she sad?
