Grandpa slowly took off his reading glasses, touched the frame of the painting with his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "It's good to draw, it's good to draw! The good thing that opens the door is indeed a good painting by Wang Shishen."

The shop owner had a pretty good vision. He could see that his grandfather was pushed in by Yang Jing and his uncle. Obviously, these three were mainly based on this old man.

The shop owner smiled and bent down and said to the old man, "Old man, I have to say that you have this view!" The shop owner gave me a thumbs up again.

Grandpa was praised and laughed like a child.

The uncle lowered his head and asked his grandfather: "Dad, do you like this painting?"

The old man nodded, but then shook his head and said, "If I read this painting correctly, it should be the original work of Wang Shishen. I have seen many paintings about plum blossoms, but in terms of elegance and agility, Wang Shishen is also the one. This painting is very good and I like it very much, but we can't afford it. Judging from the size of this painting, it's probably worth 300,000 now. Xiaolong, forget it, I don't want this painting anymore, and I'll be satisfied after seeing it."

When the shop owner heard the old man’s words, his face became a little bad, and he muttered in a low voice: “My man, this painting is more than 300,000, but this painting costs at least one million now.”

Yang Jing pulled the shop owner and whispered: "My grandfather had a craniotomy seven years ago. He basically couldn't remember what happened after the surgery, but he could still remember what happened before the surgery. The price he mentioned was at least the price in 2010."

When the boss heard this, his face became a little better and he whispered: "Your Madam still has this disease?"

Yang Jing nodded and made a "please forgive me" expression.

My uncle asked the shop owner: "How much is the minimum cost for this painting?"

The shop owner looked at the old man, then looked at the painting, gritted his teeth and said, "The size of this painting is 104*48.5 cm, which is considered to be of medium value among Wang Shishen's paintings. If you really want it, you can take it away for one million. If it is lower, I can't sell it."

This price made Yang Jing nod slightly. Now Wang Shishen's paintings are still increasing at a relatively fast rate. During the 2013 Poly Hong Kong Spring Auction, there was a "Cambola Orchid Picture" by Wang Shishen, with a size of 88.5*29 cm, which is smaller than this painting. As a result, it was sold at a high price of 1.84 million Hong Kong dollars.

At the Jiade Autumn Auction of the same year, Wang Shishen's "Aomei Picture" with a size similar to this painting was sold at a price of 1.01 million yuan.

If it were now, Wang Shishen's paintings would definitely be sold at a higher price.

Of course, that was the price sold at the auction. The real price of Wang Shishen's paintings should be lower than the auction price.

Wang Shishen's plum blossom paintings are definitely among the top five masters in Chinese history. The price of plum paintings he painted should be higher. However, Wang Shishen made a living by selling paintings throughout his life and left behind many works after his death. Therefore, although his paintings are recognized by the industry, they have never been able to shoot at high prices.

To be fair, the store owner now gives a price of one million, which is really not high. After all, this is the original work of Wang Shishen.

Although the old man had a back of his ears, he heard the boss's words and the old man was immediately unhappy.

"What? One million? Why is Wang Shishen's paintings so valuable now? Two months ago, I just saw a pair of Wang Shishen's "Molan Tu" from an old friend. The size is much larger than this painting, but my old friend only spent 460,000 yuan to buy that painting. Boss, you are expensive..."

Yang Jing and his uncle looked at each other and both smiled helplessly. Needless to say, the old man has put the memories of seven years ago to the present.

Fortunately, Yang Jing explained this to the store owner just now, and the store owner didn't care. Otherwise, the old man would have to bargain with such a bargaining method, and the store owner would have to blow the three of them out.

Yang Jing was really going to bargain again, but the old man's temper suddenly came up.

"No, I don't want this painting anymore, and our family can't afford it! Xiaolong, push me out for a walk."

At this time, the old man was like a child who was angry. As an old child, once he got angry, he had to honestly follow his wishes, otherwise the old man would really dare to throw his wheelchair and walk back by himself.

The uncle smiled apologetically at the store owner and pushed the old man out. Yang Jing was about to stay and explain to the boss.

The boss is not a fool. He knew that the old man was sick, and before Yang Jing could explain, he waved his hand and said, "I have a little brother, I can understand this. Actually, it was the same when my old man had Alzheimer's disease back then. Forget it, let's just do this."

Yang Jing helped the boss hang the painting again, and then said, "Boss, let's do it this way. I'll take a look from you again. If you like it, I'll buy one."

The boss nodded in uninterested mood, pointed to the other side and said, "There are also a few rare ancient books I have collected. You can go and take a look. As for the Four Treasures of the Study, I also have two fine lake pens and two serious papers. If you like them, I will give you some cheaper."

Yang Jing nodded and walked over.

First, after looking at the lake pen collected by the store owner and the two samples of the big thousand papers placed there, Yang Jing nodded slightly. Things are indeed good things, but Yang Jing does not like to collect things like the four treasures of the study. Another thing is that although the things collected by the store owner are of good quality, they are not very high in terms of collection value.

Yang Jing was not interested in collecting such things, so he moved to the ancient books protected by the glass cabinet.

There are seven ancient books collected by the store owner. After reading them, Yang Jing said to the store owner: "Boss, can you take out this book for me to read?"

Seeing Yang Jing take out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, the shop owner hesitated for a moment, then opened the cabinet and took out the book Yang Jing pointed to from it.

He carefully placed the book on the counter and the shop owner said, "Little brother, you have to be careful. Although this book is not a precious Song version, it is also a book from the Kangxi period. Perhaps the price is not very high, but it took me a lot of effort to collect this book at the beginning."
