Chapter 640 (2/2)
It has been more than 300 years since the establishment of the ”songzhuzhai” nanzhidian, the predecessor of rongbaozhai in Kyoto in 1672. In 1894, ”songzhuzhai” was established as ”rongbaozhai” and an organization of ”tietaozuo” was added, which laid a foundation for the development of woodblock watermarking.
Today, they came to rongbaozhai for the treasure of their town store. Peng Yifei asked for it before, but the other party didn't give face. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan wanted to come and have a look in person. He always believed that nothing could not be bought as long as the price was appropriate. Maybe in his eyes, he always thinks that antique calligraphy and painting is a commodity and has no special feelings for it. However, Bao Shoufu doesn't understand the mentality of a real collector. He can only say that he is still too young.
Rongbaozhai store has the old chengxintang paper of empress Li, which can be said to be the only existence in Kyoto; But I can't find it in other stores. After all, paper is not easy to save.
Chengxintang paper is a famous paper produced by the working people in Huizhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms; Because of its excellent quality, it is rated as the best paper in the history of papermaking in China. It is one of the three treasures of the Southern Tang Dynasty; It is famous for its skin and egg like membrane, firm and clean like jade, thin and glossy.
As early as the Southern Tang Dynasty, empress Li highly praised this kind of paper and built a hall to store it. Because the mother mountain and feather mountain in Shexian county are covered with Chuanshan mountain, there is a natural wonder ”stone gate nine locks”. One day, there is the first heart in the world, and Yunxi passes through the heart. Therefore, it is called Chengxin. It is a Tianran Taoist temple integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
It can be said that each piece of this kind of old paper inherited for nearly a thousand years is a cultural relic. Therefore, when Peng Yifei asked to buy it, people ignored him.
But I bought a lot of paper before, including the old paper in the Song Dynasty. As the richest man in the world, I certainly don't want to let go. Mother can't use things carelessly, even at expensive prices.
Seeing Peng Yi flying over, the clerk quickly invited the shopkeeper out. Although he didn't buy Chengxin hall, Peng Yifei bought many good things in rongbaozhai before. It's a big customer in the store. No one dares to neglect it.
The shopkeeper of rongbaozhai, surnamed Li, has been in rongbaozhai for more than 40 years since his apprenticeship. He has a high prestige in the store.
Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, ”Mr. Peng said first, you come to the store and we warmly welcome you. We can give you a discount on what you want to buy, but it's ok if empress Li's Chengxin hall. It's not easy to keep it in the store. It's not easy to sell it. ”
This is a preventive injection in advance, but baozixuan is bound to get it today.
Peng Yifei smiled and said, ”shopkeeper Li, don't say that. Paper is for people to use. It's not a matter where you always keep it. Your store also needs a cost to keep it. This time not only I came, but also my boss came in person. It can be said to be full of sincerity. I also hope shopkeeper Li can make it happen. ”
I heard that the young man in front of me was Peng Yifei's boss. It turned out that he was the rich man in Xiangjiang. It turns out that you are so young that you can't judge your appearance.
Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, ”your coming here really brightens the shop, but empress Li's Chengxin hall still won't do it. This is not a matter of more money and less money, but a matter of store inheritance, so there is no room for discussion. ”
Seeing that the old man was so determined, baozixuan smiled and said, ”shopkeeper Li has a price for everything. I believe empress Li doesn't want chengxintang paper to be buried in the warehouse forever. Paper is for people to use. My mother likes antique calligraphy and painting, so it can be regarded as fulfilling her old man's wish. ”
I heard that the purpose of buying chengxintang paper is to let my mother paint. What a big painter can have. I haven't heard of the famous female painter in Xiangjiang. The more I think about it, the more I don't understand.
Shopkeeper Li: ”Chengxin hall has been in the store for more than 300 years. Even rongbaozhai has not been sold in difficulties. Therefore, it will never be sold. I can't let such a good paper break in my hands. ”
Bao Zixuan: ”paper is valuable only when it is used by others. What's the matter when it is always put in the warehouse. So I hope you can think it over carefully, and don't you listen to my offer! ”
Shopkeeper Li: ”it's not about the price, but about the inheritance of the store. Empress Li's Chengxin hall can be said to be the first paper in the world. It is because of this paper that rongbaozhai is called the first paper shop of Liulichang. If you sell it, you may make a lot of money, but how can you publicize it in the future. In that case, we have no advantage compared with other stores, and rongbaozhai can't afford this loss. ”
Steamed stuffed bun Xuan didn't expect to say so. It seems that he doesn't understand the antique industry. However, he doesn't need to understand that he doesn't believe that the other party is not moved by money.
At this time, everyone was not talking, and the scene became embarrassing. But it's not a matter to be so tight. We still have to let Rong Baozhai loose. We must take action now, or we may really miss empress Li's Chengxin hall.
