As the man lifted the red cloth on the thing he was holding, Lin Yi immediately smelled a strong smell of ancient books.

Needless to say, there are very few ancient books that can touch Lin Yi's mood and make Lin Yi smell the fragrance of books with his supernatural powers. There is no doubt that this book exposed in front of him can overflow with such a strong fragrance of books. It is undoubtedly a treasure.

If Lin Yi was vaguely surprised by this, then when he saw clearly what the book was, he was even more surprised.

Because that book is the Six Classics Picture!

There are actually two Six Classics diagrams, how is this possible?

...

Lin Yi had guessed many thoughts, but he didn't guess that Master Lu San would come up with another Six Classics picture.

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, Master Lu San smiled and said, "Are you very strange? Why do I have a Six Classics Picture? A San, show this book to Mr. Lin."

The man said "Yes" and walked in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was finally able to read the book up close, and then he realized that the Six Classics Picture in front of him was very different from the one auctioned just now.

In contrast, the decoration of this book is more beautiful, with a large eight-fold opening book and six original volumes. When I opened it, Lin Yi was stunned. He saw that each book was stamped with the Qianlong jade seal, a typical collection of Tianlu Linlang.

Seeing Lin Yi seemingly surprised, Master Lu San smiled and explained to the side, saying that this book was an old collection of Emperor Qianlong. At that time, many large collectors thought that this book was a Song version. Therefore, the Huang Ling sign in each book reads the "Six Classics Pictures of the Song version" on it.

The book is recorded in Volume 3 of the Tianlu Linlang Bibliography. On September 15, 1922, Emperor Xuantong Puyi rewarded the book to Pu Jie. After Pu Jie came to Tianjin, the book was later in the puppet Manchukuo Palace in Changchun. In 1945, after Japan surrendered, the book was scattered from the palace and obtained by Mr. Liu Yanfu. After 1949, Liu Yanfu brought the book to Taiwan and then to the United States, and then copied the book. The published photocopy was a preface to Mr. Chen Lifu and provided by Mr. Sun Famin. This photocopy was widely circulated, making this book a famous item.

When Lin Yi heard this, he became even more curious. This Master Lu San is really powerful and can buy this book from the United States and keep it in his own hands for treasure.

Mr. Lu continued to talk and told Lin Yi about the origin and story of the book.

Speaking of Emperor Qianlong’s old collection, there are two books that can be represented, namely Shiqu Baoji, which specializes in calligraphy and paintings, and Tianlu Linlang, which specializes in ancient books. In terms of collection level, the two books are of the same level. In today’s art auctions, in the ancient calligraphy and painting sections, all calligraphy and paintings recorded by Shiqu Baoji can be sold at a high price regardless of authenticity, with an average price of tens of millions of yuan. However, the ancient books recorded by Tianlu Linlang will never be sold at the same level of calligraphy and paintings recorded in Shiqu Baoji.

This Six Classics Picture, known as the Song version, was actually a copy of the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, but it did not affect the book as a collection of Tianlu Linlang. The book is estimated to be 2.5 million to 2.8 million yuan. According to the market theory at that time, Lu Sanye estimated that it would be able to be taken down by about 3.5 million yuan. However, when the book was photographed on the spot, it started with 2.4 million yuan. He only cited it and took the book, which made him happy for many days.

In fact, he thought that one important reason was that he could buy this book at such a low price, which was the minor mistake in the abstract text in the catalog, which stated that "the book is kept in Volumes 13 to Volumes 15", indicating that the book is a residual version. In fact, this is a complete book. When Mr. Lu San read it carefully many times, he decided to take the book after confirming it.

After telling the story of this book, Mr. Lu San looked at Lin Yi with a very interesting look and said, "Are you very curious now? What is the one I auctioned just now?"

Lin Yi was of course curious. In comparison, that book seemed much cheaper than this one and was much lower in grade.

"It's so funny in the ancient book world. Many ancient books marked with the Song version of the Ming Dynasty are actually in the Ming version. Many ancient books marked with the Ming version are actually in the Qing version. The Six Classics Picture I auctioned just now is actually a Qing Dynasty engraving book, but it is also a very good version. In that era, it was not easy to imitate the taste of the Ming version."

Lin Yi fainted.

Fortunately, I have countless treasure appraisals, but I didn't find this mistake. I actually regarded the Qingcao version as the Ming version and competed with others. It was really shameful.

Seeing that Lin Yi's old face turned red, Master Lu San smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Even if Master Zhang Si and the Military Advisor Du around him didn't see it, it's not surprising that you couldn't see it."

This sentence made Lin Yi even more ashamed. It was not that he couldn't see it, but because he was so obsessed with this book that he was so moved that he was confused. Otherwise, he could only identify the actual version of the previous book based on his supernatural ability that could smell the ancient fragrance.

"If the last Qing Dynasty edition of the Six Classics Picture can be auctioned for 500,000 yuan now, then what price should my rare book with the Qianlong Jade Seal and a typical rare book collected by Tianlu Linlang?" Mr. Lu looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "If I guessed well, it would be at least tens of millions now."

Mr. Lu smiled and praised, "Good eyesight!" and then said, "Do you know why Mr. Zhang spared no effort to bid for my book? His surname was Zhang, who had great courage to buy books. He planned to receive 100,000 ancient books within five years and then build his own collection. Now he has negotiated eight acres of land and is preparing to start building a building. Unfortunately, he met me."

Mr. Lu San smiled and continued, "He only knew that I had a rare Six Classics Picture in my hand. When I was filmed today, he was bound to win, in order to give me a warning, let me know his power and the determination to build a building to collect books, but I didn't think about it. What a rare book is a mere 500,000 yuan ancient book. If it was really a rare book, how could I take it out for auction?"

Lin Yi sighed again: "It seems that Master Du has really gone astray. He probably still felt complacent about the leader of the gang who picked up a big leak."

"Just let them be happy! As a collector, it is rare to find a bargain at the auction, and it is even more rare to make an opponent like me lose his grief. I just hope that their dream will not wake up too early." Mr. Lu San's tone was full of teasing.

"What about me? Should I envy you for having such a rare ancient book, or be glad that I did not bid successfully?" Lin Yi asked suddenly.

Mr. Lu San did not answer, but reached out to touch the Six Classics Picture worth tens of millions and said, "I know that this book is missing from the collection of books you inherited, and I know that you are wholeheartedly trying to make up for this regret. But after hearing what I have said, you should understand that you can't do this regret. But it doesn't matter. This book cannot go to your place, but your collection of books can come to me. In this way, will there be no regrets?"

Lin Yi understood, and finally understood that Mr. Lu talked a lot about the bush and acted in such a play. He had only one purpose, that is, to "lighten the muscles", so that he could not resist, and sold all the inherited books.

"Oh!" Lin Yi sighed. "Why, old man, if you really want to buy this batch of books, just say it, why do you have to make so many battles, auction it, and create momentum, and use both soft and hard, making it like a war."

"Haha, there's no way, who told you to refuse to see me? As a collector in the ancient book world, I have always loved books as my life. It just so happened that my collection lacks many rare books. And you happened to break in at this time to conduct an exhibition of rare books in ancient books... What does this mean? It shows that I have a lot of fate with your book."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You and I are also very destined to be together, aren't we?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much or so long. Young man, please offer a price, how much does that batch of books cost?" Mr. Lu said proudly.

Lin Yi smiled strangely: "How much can you give?"

Mr. Lu San smiled, then took out a blank check from his pocket and said, "You can write a number, you can do as much as you want." After that, he handed Lin Yi a pen.

Lin Yi took the pen, without thinking, wrote it on the check, and handed it back.

Mr. Lu San is very happy. Those who know the times are heroes. There is no money in this world that cannot be solved.

But when he saw the check, he was stunned and saw a few words written on the check. I didn’t sell it!

...

Slap in the face!

Mr. Lu San felt his old face hurt so much.

He never expected that the young man in front of him would dare to tease him like this.

"Young man, aren't you kidding?" Mr. Lu was already furious.

Lin Yi still had the same expression and shrugged and said, "For me, there is no joke to play with you, although I respect you very much."

"Okay, very good!" Mr. Lu San said fiercely, "I hope you don't regret your decision."

"Don't worry, I am a child from the countryside. Children in the countryside can always endure hardships and accept various challenges."

"But the consequences of many things are not something you can bear."

"How can I know if I don't try?" Lin Yi smiled very well.

Mr. Lu was furious, stood up, looked at Lin Yi viciously, and finally said to the people around him: "Let's go!"

...

Looking at the departure of Master Lu San's back, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew how much pressure he had just been under.

Just as Mr. Lu San said, Lin Yi knew very clearly that in terms of financial resources or strength, he could not even fight against Mr. Zhang, the SN electrical appliance boss, so how could he be qualified to fight against Mr. Lu San, the best in Jinling.

I don’t know who said that the ancient book world is a world of martial arts. If there is a world of martial arts, there will be good and evil, and there will be struggles.

In front of me, Lin Yi could do nothing, and could only wait for the storm to come.

Tomorrow is the first day of the ancient books exhibition. As for the storm, will it come? To be continued.

Chapter completed!
