Meng Zitao returned the blue and white plate to Meng Hongchang and gave him a vague look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Hongchang immediately understood what Meng Zitao meant, and asked the store what the price was.
The shopkeeper was immersed in the joy of making money at this time, and when he saw the plate in Meng Hongchang's hand, he didn't care too much and offered a thousand yuan.
In the antique business, it is quite normal to bargain, Meng Hongchang knew that this price was missing, but he did not show it, for the offer of 1,000 yuan, he still reached 200 yuan. In front of people who know the trade, if it is a complete vessel, the counteroffer will not be so ruthless, but this is a piece of porcelain with a deficiency, so it is normal to make such a counteroffer.
The store didn't think there was anything wrong with the price Meng Hongchang said, but two hundred yuan definitely wouldn't work, at least eight hundred.
After that, Meng Hongchang pressed the price again, and finally both sides gave in and made a deal for 500 yuan.
An antique should be collected in an orderly manner, so that the value will undoubtedly be higher, so Meng Hongchang, who paid the money, asked about the origin of this blue and white plate.
The store is very sincere, saying that this blue and white plate lacking meat was received when he used to go to the countryside, and it was not sold in the store for more than half a year. So, he simply took it back.
After listening to the store's story, Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, this person doesn't seem to be very good at business, and he doesn't know what to say and what not to say. Meng Hongchang asked about the origin of things, you said that the harvest from the countryside is not over, the latter paragraph, isn't that a blockage?
On the other side, Meng Zitao took advantage of the time for the two to bargain, so he turned around the room, and when he walked close to the place where the sundries were piled up, Meng Zitao saw a gray and inconspicuous inkstone.
The inkstone is rectangular, except for an inkstone pond at one end, there are no lines in other places. However, just such an inkstone gave Meng Zitao a strange feeling.
"Is there something wrong with this inkstone?"
Thinking so, Meng Zitao took the inkstone in his hand, and looked at the material should be a side of the inkstone, but the material was so-so, it was not a good inkstone, although this inkstone was still big, but five or six hundred yuan would be the sky.
After that, Meng Zitao took the inkstone and observed it carefully, because the things were not very good, he couldn't take out any magnifying glass to observe, and the light in the room was not very good, at first he didn't find anything special about the big inkstone.
On the other side, Meng Hongchang was already ready to pay, and Meng Zitao didn't want to delay, and was ready to use the ability, at this time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he laughed in his stomach, because he found the biggest flaw, that is, the weight was wrong.
At this time, Meng Zitao used the ability again to get the result, and as he expected, a sense of accomplishment suddenly rose in his heart. If he uses the ability in the first place, there's no sense of accomplishment, and it's not much fun to pick up a miss.
Meng Hongchang paid, and Meng Zitao walked over with an inkstone to inquire about the price.
The shopkeeper glanced at the inkstone held by Meng Zitao, and couldn't help but be a little strange, how could Meng Zitao choose such an inkstone? However, this inkstone is too simple, it doesn't look special, the shopkeeper didn't think much about it, since the other party wants to buy it, does he still have a reason not to sell it?
After that, the two sides negotiated the price, and finally closed the deal for 350 yuan.
Everyone took their things and said goodbye to the store, and when they went out, Xiaoyun couldn't help but ask, "I said, why did you buy such a piece of porcelain that is missing a few pieces?"
Meng Hongchang said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Let's talk about it when we get in the car." ”
When Xiaoyun saw Meng Hongchang's performance, his heart moved slightly, could it be that he missed it? But what kind of thing can be leaked?
Although he thought so, Xiaoyun still held back the curiosity in his heart and didn't ask much along the way. Everyone got into the car, the army started the car, and before Xiaoyun could speak, Meng Hongchang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore and laughed.
"What the hell are you crazy about?"
"I missed it!" At this time, Meng Hongchang's happy mouth was about to grin behind his ears.
Xiaoyun said a little unhappily: "Can you make it clear, how big a leak you have picked up, you are so happy?"
"This number. Meng Hongchang stretched out his hand, and then confirmed to Meng Zitao: "Zitao, isn't it?"
Meng Zitao nodded with a smile.
"Fifty thousand?" Xiao Yun's eyes immediately became a lot bigger.
Meng Hongchang smiled: "If you say less, 50,000, am I so excited?"
Xiao Yun was a little dumbfounded and asked, "You don't mean that this broken plate can be worth 500,000, right?"
"What a broken plate, this is Yongle blue and white porcelain, if it is a complete vessel, it will be at least thirty or forty million, but we will not be so desperate to get a complete vessel, but even if there is a defect, this plate is worth at least 500,000. ”
Speaking of which, Meng Hongchang briefly explained the preciousness of Yongle blue and white porcelain, and talked about several characteristics of this blue and white plate.
"500,000! Get rich!" Xiao Yun's expression changed from disbelief to joy, and finally he couldn't help cheering, screaming and laughing, and after a while, he actually cried with joy.
"I picked up a big leak, why are you crying? Meng Hongchang hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe Xiaoyun's tears.
"Hmph! I'm just happy to. Xiaoyun took the tissue hard, and immediately burst into laughter.
Recently, because of the money, Xiaoyun has put a lot of pressure on herself, but considering Meng Hongchang's feelings, she has not revealed it and has been pressing it in her heart.
People's emotions can't always be suppressed and not released, otherwise sooner or later there will be problems, Xiaoyun goes on like this, in a word, either explodes in silence or dies in silence.
Xiaoyun's thoughts, of course, Meng Hongchang can also see it, he sees it in his eyes, he is anxious in his heart, fortunately, he picked up a leak today, and all the problems were solved, which can be described as a great joy.
Meng Zitao said: "This blue and white plate, I suggest that you still shoot it in the autumn (the summer auction will be in the next month, and it has begun to be promoted), I will go to Brother Zhang tomorrow to tell him, and the money can be withdrawn in advance by going to the company first." ”
For Meng Zitao's proposal, Meng Hongchang and Xiaoyun both accepted and thanked him.
Because of the leakage, Xiaoyun was in a good mood, and there was constant laughter in the car.
Meng Hongchang thought of one thing: "By the way, Zitao, what happened to that inkstone just now?"
"What's going on?" Meng Zitao pretended to be stunned.
Meng Hongchang said: "Come on, don't sell it, I don't know you yet, if it's just an ordinary inkstone, will you do it?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Let's go to my store and talk about it in detail." ”
The place where the store lives is about a 10-minute drive from the antique street, and it won't take long to arrive.
The group came to the store, because it was a Sunday, the business in the store was not bad, and Meng Zitao also met a regular customer.
Meng Zitao asked everyone to take their things to the VIP room upstairs first, and he stayed and chatted with the regular customer for a while, and then went upstairs.
Walking into the VIP room, Meng Zitao saw He Wanyi holding the inkstone to observe, and he said with a smile: "Do you see something?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't see anything.
Meng Zitao asked again: "Don't you all think that the weight is not right?"
Hearing Meng Zitao say this, everyone weighed the weight one after another, and Xiaoyun said: "Don't sell Guanzi, we are not you, and you will know that the weight is not right when you check it in your hand." ”
"I take the tools. ”
Meng Zitao found a knife, then walked to the table, and scratched the end of the inkstone with a knife: "Do you see this small gap?"
Everyone stretched their necks to look over, and Meng Hongchang said a little speechlessly: "I don't know how your eyes are long, and you can even find such a gap." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Who called me clairvoyant?" ”
He Wanyi laughed: "Don't brag, open it up and see, there is something inside, if there is nothing, it is not a leak, but an eye." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Just rely on your husband and my luck, how can you be eye-catching." ”
He Wanyi glanced at him: "Virtue!"
Meng Zitao smiled, and then began to deal with it with a knife, and after a while, he took a slotter and pried it vigorously, only to hear a soft "click", and a piece of stone was removed, revealing what was wrapped in cotton cloth.
Meng Zitao carefully took out the things, took off the cotton cloth, and revealed the contents inside, which was also an inkstone.
This inkstone is oval-shaped, less than 30 centimeters long, and there is nothing particularly white in terms of ornamentation, but there are many inscriptions on the key surface.
"Strange, why are there so many inscriptions?"
As he spoke, Meng Hongchang saw an inscription and exclaimed: "This is a righteous inkstone?!"
Who Yue Fei is, I believe there is no need to introduce more. Yue Fei once collected a Duan inkstone before his death. The inkstone is oval, more than nine inches in length, purple in color, and the inscription is engraved on the back, "Hold on to white, not phosphorus and not Zi". The font is majestic and majestic, which is the true portrayal of Yue Fei's high wind and bright festival.
A hundred years after Yue Fei was killed, this inkstone fell into the hands of Xie Fangde, a famous anti-Yuan general in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xie Fangde sent this inkstone to the famous general Wen Tianxiang of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang was like a treasure, and engraved the inscription on the left and right sides of the inkstone: "Yue Zhong Wuduanzhou stone inkstone, to Jun Zhi (that is, Xie Fangde) in the same year, Xianchun nine years December 10 3 sent. Tianxiang Ming said: Although the inkstone is not iron, it is difficult to wear through, although the heart is not as strong as the stone, the Buddha of the guard is self-sufficient. It expressed his ambition to inherit Yue Fei's legacy and resist the enemy and save the country.
And the three heroes are engraved on the same inkstone, which is also rare in the world.
After the death of the three Song Dynasty lone loyalists, this treasure inkstone wandered and read the vicissitudes of the world. In the Qing Dynasty, it flowed through the hands of many famous artists, such as Dong Qichang, Song Ju, Zhu Yizun and others, all of whom left inscriptions on the inkstone. (To be continued.) )
