Chapter 585: Ancient people also liked to collect ~



Fang Zongtang continued, "Yes. I received a travelogue from him before. The seal on it is the same as this one, but with a small hole!"

If it were someone else, they would definitely think that these seals were dug out from different works.

But when it came to Fang Zongtang, she remembered an old story her great-grandfather had told her.

"I don't know if you have heard of this story. During the Song Dynasty, there was a man who liked to pretend to be smart. Every time he did something, he wanted to be smarter and more unique than others."

"Once he saw several scholars comparing seals on paintings. One of them said, 'My words are just ordinary, but I have connections and can get a seal from a famous artist.' Then his status immediately became different, and many people surrounded him to flatter him!"

"When this person who likes to do something different heard about it, he thought, I am better than this person. So he painted a picture himself, and took it to various famous artists to ask for seals. The names he used were all those he admired."

"The famous artist wanted to save face, so he put his seal on this ordinary painting."

"When this painting was passed down to his descendants, it became more valuable because of the many seals on it. Many people came to ask for this painting."

"People all have a problem. The better something is, the more they like to hide it. The descendant of that person did not sell the painting, but gave it to his own descendant, asking him to use the same method to ask for a seal from a famous artist. Over time, this painting with the seal became a family heirloom."

Everyone who heard Fang Zongtang say this suddenly had an epiphany.

I just wanted to provide an idea, but I didn't expect that the listeners took it seriously.

"It's just like collecting stamps now. The more you collect, the more addicted you become." Nie Sheng suddenly said

Fang Zongtang thought for a moment and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

Looking at this painting, Li Chun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to say them.

Fang Zongtang noticed his expression and said directly: "It doesn't matter whether the painting is alive or dead, as long as it is in the pawnshop, it must be used to pay off my debt."

After hearing this, Lin Shu and others looked at Fang Zongtang eagerly.

The latter: "Donate it to the museum as well!"

Lin Shu and others: We’ve been waiting for this sentence.

The pawnshop owner was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood.

"That painting is not owned by our pawnshop. Someone sent it to me for appraisal, but I haven't done it yet." The pawnshop owner lied again in desperation.

Li Chun didn't think twice and said directly: "Don't talk nonsense, this painting was obviously stolen by you!"

The pawnshop owner will definitely not recognize it.

"What evidence do you have? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Li Chun: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I know the owner of this painting. She is like crazy now, stopping someone on the street and saying that someone stole their painting!"

When the pawnshop owner heard Fang Zongtang say this, he immediately felt guilty.

He still refuses to admit it.

"Don't talk nonsense. This painting of mine has nothing to do with her."

Fang Zongtang: "Tell me who brought this statement to verify it. Find that person and we can confront him face to face."

The pawnshop owner certainly didn't dare to confront Fang Zongtang face to face. When he heard Fang Zongtang say this, his heart was beating wildly with fear.

What does she want to do now?

Could it be that she came here just for this painting?

In fact, the pawnshop owner had a premonition before, but he just didn't dare to admit it.
