Because there were still guests there, Yan Quan toasted everyone with a glass of wine and went back first.

Next, everyone staggered, the atmosphere was warm, and the host and guest were naturally happy after a meal, and the relationship was also closer.

Jin Zongjie and Song Junyu didn't come to the mainland just for Zhang Jingqiang, so after eating, they said goodbye first.

Zhang Jingqiang was about to send Meng Zitao back, and when he walked to the parking lot, he met Yan Quan again, at this time he was supporting a man of his age, this person should be Yan Quan's friend, it seems that he should have been drunk, and he vomited everywhere, even on the car next to him.

Yan Quan saw Zhang Jingqiang and said with a wry smile: "This is my friend, he just got divorced, and he was in a bad mood and drank too much, so I will send him back now." ”

"Do you want me to help?" asked Zhang Jingqiang.

Yan Quan smiled: "No need, I have already called his family over, and I will be there in a while." ”

"Bastard! I'm going to die!"

While Yan Quan's friend was scolding, he took out something from his pocket and threw it forward, and the thing drew an arc and fell into the flower bed not far away.

Meng Zitao noticed that the thing thrown out by the other party was a little familiar, so he walked over and picked it up, and found that it was actually a piece of "Wang Mang Daquan Fifty Bronze Mother Fan".

This kind of mother model has a special significance in the history of copper coin casting in China, which confirms that the coin printing and stacking method of coins in China is Wang Mang's original casting technology. In the history of coin minting in China, the only mother model that uses the clay fan stacking method to cast coins is this product. This type of master model can be used to make clay models, which can be stacked to pour the physical coin.

The surface of this coinage mother fan is only a little rusty, but it is still very well preserved, which is one of the finest products, which is very rare.

In addition, this kind of mother fan circulation time in the Western Han Dynasty (7 AD), due to the high cost of casting, in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (10 AD) when the "Ten Springs and Fifty" were minted, this method was no longer used to cast money, so this thing is particularly precious and rare.

Such a piece of Mu Fan is now worth about 100,000 yuan, and he just threw it away, and it is estimated that this person will die of death when he comes to his senses.

Zhang Jingqiang noticed the mother fan that Meng Zitao was holding, and was a little surprised: "This is not true, right?"

"It's true, and it's in perfect condition. Meng Zitao showed Zhang Jingqiang.

After Zhang Jingqiang saw it, he said to Yan Quan with a smile: "Your friend is quite rich, and he threw away 100,000 yuan cheaply, but fortunately he didn't throw it on the ground, otherwise he would probably lose tens of thousands of yuan." ”

Yan Quan was a little afraid of his friend, he was really going to be broken by himself, and when he woke up, he was probably distressed to death.

Meng Zitao asked, "Is this friend of yours also playing collectibles?"

Yan Quan shook his head: "He doesn't play collecting, but I heard that his father seems to be a collector, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Zhang Jingqiang became interested when he heard this, and this mother fan is still relatively rare, and it can be auctioned, so he wants to meet Yan Quan's friend's father to see if there are other collections.

Meng Zitao also thought the same thing, so the two of them waited here for a while.

After a while, Yan Quan's friend's parents hurried over, and when they saw their son's appearance, the father did not have a good face, and the mother looked very distressed.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for today's events. Zhuang Gongtai smiled at Yan Quan.

Yan Quan hurriedly said: "You're welcome, it's not good for me to say it, I shouldn't let Brother Lang drink so much." ”

"Hmph, he's such a big person, don't you know how much wine he can drink?" Zhuang Gongtai snorted coldly, feeling that his son was too uncompetitive and embarrassed himself.

Zhuang Lang's mother was a little dissatisfied: "What are you fierce, Xiao Lang is in a bad mood during this time, and it's normal to drink and not pay attention!"

Zhuang Gongtai's face was even worse: "Hmph! Mother is so defeated, if you hadn't been used to him since you were a child, would you have been able to marry that woman in the first place?"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!"

Zhuang Lang's mother was also angry, and said to Yan Quan: "Xiao Yan, please help me help Xiao Lang go back together." ”

"I'm afraid of you!" Zhuang Gongtai muttered, went up to help his son's other arm, and then prepared to send his son home.

Yan Quan hurriedly said, "Uncle, wait a minute, Brother Lang's car has to be dealt with as well." ”

Zhang Jingqiang said: "This matter is easy to do, I just ask the waiter of the hotel here to help deal with it." ”

Yan Quan hurriedly introduced that this was his uncle.

"Uh, that's embarrassing. Zhuang Gongtai said.

"It's just a gesture, and to be honest, I'm also 'doing nothing'. ”

Zhang Jingqiang called the security guard over, and the security guard also knew Zhang Jingqiang, and after listening to Zhang Jingqiang's explanation, he immediately promised to wash the car cleanly.

Zhuang Gongtai took out his wallet, took out the money and gave it to the security guard, who took the money with a smile and went to wash the car.

"I wonder if this gentleman has anything to do with me?" Zhuang Gongtai asked.

"Let's talk as we go......"

After leaving, Zhang Jingqiang took the piece of mother fan and asked, "Teacher Zhuang, this mother fan is yours, right?"

Zhuang Gongtai was surprised: "This is what I gave my son to him when he opened the store, why is it in your hands." ”

After learning what was going on, Zhuang Gongtai was quite angry, scolded a "loser" in his mouth, and then said: "You want this piece of mother fan, right?"

Zhang Jingqiang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Originally, Zhang Jingqiang thought that it would take some words, but he didn't expect Zhuang Gongtai to agree directly: "Okay, but how much can you give?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "I believe that Mr. Zhuang is also an expert, how about 90,000?"

The price of this piece of Mu Fan is said to be 100,000, but it is impossible for Zhang Jingqiang to buy it at the original price, and the price of 90,000 yuan is already very high, if it is sold to others, 80,000 yuan may not be available. This is also because Zhang Jingqiang is still worried about the relationship between Zhuang Gongtai's collection.

Zhuang Gongtai didn't hesitate and said, "The price is no problem, but I want to exchange it for US dollars, and it doesn't matter if I add some handling fees." ”

Zhang Jingqiang said: "It's no problem to convert it into dollars, but can you take the liberty of asking why?"

Zhuang Gongtai smiled bitterly: "It's still for this rabbit cub, with his character, don't want to come out of the shadows in China, just send him abroad." ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts, in the end, they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, don't look at Zhuang Gongtai's scolding on his lips, in fact, it is the depth of love and responsibility.

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Okay, I will convert it into US dollars for trading, and there is no handling fee, just calculate it at 90,000." ”

"Thank you. Zhuang Gongtai expressed his gratitude, and then said, "Have you taken a fancy to my collection?"

"Indeed! That's my business card. Zhang Jingqiang took out his business card and handed it to Zhuang Gongtai.

After Zhuang Gongtai looked at the business card, he suddenly said: "It turns out that you are Mr. Zhang, you have really admired your name for a long time!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Meng Zitao: "Presumably, you and the famous Teacher Meng, why did I say that you were so familiar just now!"

Previously, he had only seen Meng Zitao from a distance, and he was not impressed, and just now his attention was on his son, thinking that Meng Zitao was just a secretary, and he didn't think in his direction at all.

Meng Zitao smiled and shook hands with Zhuang Gongtai, it was not very convenient now, so he didn't talk much.

Zhuang Gongtai's house is not far away, about ten minutes or so.

Everyone helped Zhuang Lang to bed together, Zhuang Lang's mother helped him clean up the dirt on his body, and Zhuang Gongtai took everyone directly into his collection room.

The room is relatively spacious, and there are Bogu shelves in it, and there are various kinds of collections on the shelves, and they all look like fine products.

Seeing this situation, everyone was a little shocked in their hearts, if they hadn't come here today, they really wouldn't have known that there was such a collector in Ling City, quite a bit of "masters are in the folk" feeling.

Zhang Jingqiang looked around and asked, "Teacher Zhuang, you should have been playing collecting for many years." ”

"It's not long, it's only been seven or eight years. Zhuang Gongtai said with a smile: "Actually, I am not the same as most people's collection road, when I learned the knowledge of collecting for half a year, I went to the antique street to buy collections, but the first time I hit the wall, hit the eye." After that, I changed my mind and bought the collection at auctions in China. I also went to the autumn auction organized by your company last year, and I am also planning to participate in this year's spring auction. ”

"In addition, I wasn't very good at communicating before, and we didn't have any decent auctions in Ling City, so I basically didn't have much contact with the circle here, and there was more contact with auction friends from other places. ”

Everyone understands, no wonder in the antique circle of Ling City, I didn't hear such a character, it turned out to be like this.

Zhuang Gongtai continued: "You take a look at my collection first, except for a turquoise green painted gold pastel flower pattern Guanyin vase over there, the rest of the collection can be transferred to you, but I will only transfer a maximum of five pieces." ”

Seeing Zhuang Gongtai pointing to a piece of porcelain placed in a prominent position, Meng Zitao and they all walked over to admire it, and their mouths let out exclamations.

This Guanyin bottle is the treasure of the Qianlong official kiln, the whole imitation of cloisonné, the composition of the utensils is distinct, and the staggered is caused. The painting is meticulous and neat, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the turquoise green glaze is uniform and thick, it is lovely, the gold color is brilliant and dazzling, and the colors are gorgeous and rich, showing the royal magnificence and supreme temperament.

This Guanyin vase is a heavy vessel, worth at least more than 20 million, and if Meng Zitao has it, he is reluctant to sell it.

Zhang Jingqiang's eyes were hot, but unfortunately he couldn't force it, so he could only give up regretfully.

Next, Meng Zitao and Zhang Jingqiang began to appreciate the collection in the house, and Meng Zitao found that the level of the collection here is indeed relatively high, but it is not without fakes, but relatively small.

However, Zhuang Gongtai did not ask him about the authenticity of the collection, and he would not say it, so as not to make Zhuang Gongtai unhappy.

Since in addition to the Guanyin bottle, other collections can be selected, Zhang Jingqiang first selected the most expensive one, and asked Mencius for advice while picking.

"Zitao, how do you see this immortal taking the cup?"

"Immortal Ride" comes from the myth and legend of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions when he encountered the river obstruction, followed the river to find the source, but unexpectedly reached the fairyland, met the cowherd and weaver girl, and gave the loom on the press cloth stone strip. Later generations used "immortals riding the chariot" as a metaphor for "smooth sailing" and "smooth progress".

This myth was recited by the Tang Dynasty poems, and the theme spread throughout the arts. The silver casting of Zhu Bishan of the Yuan people "Immortal Chengcha" is the earliest seen so far. The rhino carving of the Ming Dynasty "immortal chariot" and "Zhucha" work interest converge, so from the Ming Dynasty, the rhino carving "immortal chacha" is more common.

Zhang Jingqiang said that the cup is one of the best, its shape is chic, fluent with a knife, fine polishing, simple and smooth carving, through the author's delicate portrayal, although the old man is a dangerous boat, but confident, as if the demeanor of a leisurely stroll is meticulously displayed, it is a treasure in the rhino horn carving.

Meng Zitao looked at it and said with a smile: "There is no doubt that this cup is wonderful, but if you want to take it to auction, you have to think too much." ”

Zhang Jingqiang thought about it, this is a work of rhino horn carving, according to the law, it belongs to the category of forbidden auctions in China, and it must not be auctioned at a formal auction, but he also likes this cup, and he thinks it is good to buy it and enjoy it at home.

However, just as Zhang Jingqiang was about to speak, Meng Zitao kicked him lightly and signaled him not to buy it.

At first, Zhang Jingqiang thought that there was something wrong with the cup, and then noticed Zhuang Gongtai's look, and he reacted, Zhuang Gongtai did say that they could pick whatever they wanted in addition to the Guanyin bottle, but after all, this was his collection for many years, if it wasn't for his son, he would definitely not sell it.

If he really didn't consider Zhuang Gongtai's idea at all and picked out the best five collections, then it would be difficult to have another chance to trade next time.

Zhang Jingqiang, who reacted, immediately changed his strategy, and did not choose the cup, and then paid attention to Zhuang Gongtai's expression, and it was really much better.

At this time, Meng Zitao noticed a jade object placed not far from the cup, which was a jade buckle, with a carved body and a dragon pattern on the front. The dragon has a long neck and a thin head, a broad nose, a wide mouth, a row of teeth on the upper jaw, vigorous limbs, and a majestic momentum. The overall dragon shape is round, slender and curly, the shape is flipped, and it is full of dynamism.

Judging from its style, it is the same as the dragon pattern in the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and the carving is also in line with the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and it is the top product of the jade carving of the Yuan Dynasty. There is a delicate and delicate pure gold inlay around, called "gold inlaid jade", and the inlay precision level can be described as first-class.

Needless to say, this jade buckle must have been used by the nobles of the palace at that time, and the surface was covered with thick pulp, which should have been played with by someone often, indicating that this was the beloved thing of the original owner, which aroused the interest of Meng Zitao.

"Mr. Zhuang, may I ask if you also bought this jade buckle at the auction?"

Zhuang Gongtai walked over and said with a smile: "No, this is a friend of mine in Shudu who lost a bet with me, so he transferred it to me." To be honest, I originally wanted his Yuan Qinghua, but he refused, and then I wanted to choose other collections, but he didn't agree, and finally had to choose this jade buckle. ”
