Chapter 295: Incense Stick
The auctioneer looked at the crowd and just didn't bid, and he was a little anxious, so in order to avoid the first unsuccessful auction in this auction, he had to try his best to introduce it, hoping to impress everyone. → eight → eight → read → books, .↓.o≥
But obviously, everyone didn't buy it, and no one offered a bid, which made the auctioneer very helpless, and he looked around and had to prepare to announce the unsuccessful auction.
At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "One hundred thousand." ”
The auctioneer was slightly stunned, and his eyes immediately lit up: "This gentleman in seat nine bid 100,000 yuan, is there anything higher?"
The auctioneer deliberately said out loud the seat number where Meng Zitao and the others were, just to imply that the lot was very valuable by virtue of the high price that the pair of Taiping Youxiang had just been auctioned.
However, everyone is not fooled, if it is Feng Zhengsheng's mouth, then everyone may still think about it, Meng Zitao's voice knows that it is a young man as soon as he hears it, and everyone will follow the quotation.
Of course, it is also possible that Feng Zhengsheng wanted to hide from the world, but everyone was not interested in this lot, so they didn't bother to think about it.
The auctioneer felt a little regretful to see that no one was bidding again, but at least it was much better than the unsuccessful auction, and after he announced the sale, he immediately began to introduce the next lot.
At this time, Feng Zhengsheng was excitedly thanking Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao smiled and said that he was not welcome, and then he asked the question just now: "Mr. Feng, is there any mystery in this manuscript?"
Feng Zhengsheng smiled and nodded: "Maybe Zhenyan's illness can be cured." ”
When Meng Zitao heard this, a question mark arose in his mind, what does an ancient medical book have to do with curing diseases? Is there any formula on it?
Feng Zhengsheng saw Meng Zitao's doubts and said: "Let's put it this way, a famous doctor and my family had a festival that was difficult to solve during that period in our country in the last century, and this ancient book may be able to solve this festival." ”
Meng Zitao roughly understood what it meant, it was nothing more than that the famous doctor at that time, maybe because of his status, he was treated unfairly, and Feng Zhengsheng's elders were involved. Because of this incident, the other party did not treat Feng Zhenyan.
Thinking about it, the original incident should have offended the famous doctor severely, otherwise he would not be angry with the child.
Of course, Meng Zitao didn't know what was going on, besides, Feng Zhengsheng's words were unknown, so he probably didn't want to say much, and Meng Zitao would definitely not be nosy.
Feng Zhengsheng said: "By the way, don't you like anything you like?" ”
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "There are a few agreeable ones, but the price is a little expensive." ”
"Is it inconvenient to have at hand?" Feng Zhengsheng asked.
Meng Zitao smiled: "No, it just doesn't feel very cost-effective, if I meet someone I particularly like and don't have enough money on hand, I will definitely be polite." ”
Feng Zhengsheng smiled and nodded.
However, the next lots were all very good, and the competition was very fierce, although there were also some of them that Meng Zitao liked, but because of the price, he still gave up.
After the blue and white plum vase of the Qianlong official kiln, another lot appeared on the screen, which is an incense tube, as the name suggests, is usually used to hold incense.
"What kind of pattern is this?" Feng Zhengsheng asked softly.
During the auction, Feng Zhengsheng has been asking Meng Zitao some questions about antiques, and found that Meng Zitao is very knowledgeable, and there is basically no problem to stop Meng Zitao, and the explanation is familiar and easy to understand, which is much more impressive than the communication on the Internet, which impresses him.
Meng Zitao replied: "This is called all the way to Lianke. ”
Feng Zhengsheng was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Meng Zitao pointed to the screen and explained: "You see, this incense tube is a realistic depiction of the waterfowl ecology of the lotus pond, with full lotus buds, lotus leaves and fields, and lotus branches interspersed in between, and reeds and herons next to it. ”
Among them, the heron was also an auspicious bird in ancient times, and it was once the clothing mark of the six-rank civil officials. There are also many applications in decoration. Heron, reed and road homonym, lotus and even homonym, the heron bird and reed, lotus form a beautiful waterfowl picture, in the auspicious pattern is to imply that the cause is very smooth, just like the examination room one after another. ”
Feng Zhengsheng suddenly said: "Oh, so that's what it means, the ancients really knew how to imagine." ”
"It's all for a good omen. ”
Meng Zitao smiled, and at this time someone offered 50,000 yuan, and he increased the price and said: "55,000!"
Feng Zhengsheng asked, "Do you like this incense tube?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You see that this auction is coming to an end, I can't go home empty-handed, and this thing is really good, and the meaning is good." ”
Feng Zhengsheng smiled and said, "This is also the case." ”
Since the material used in this incense tube is boxwood, although it is not bad, but if you want to say good, it is not much better, among these lots so far, it can only be regarded as the bottom thing, and there are not many people who are interested, and finally it was easily photographed by Meng Zitao for 72,000 yuan.
After the incense tube, there were five more lots in succession, and the last finale was taken, but it was a figure painting by Chen Banding, and finally it was sold for the highest price in the whole market, so that the auction was successfully concluded.
Next, everyone followed the waiter to different rooms, changed clothes, swiped the card to pay, and then began to check the lots that had been brought to the room.
Feng Zhengsheng immediately couldn't wait to carefully take out the "Gezhiyu Treatise" from the brocade box, and when he looked at the very quaint paper, he confirmed that this should be the one he wanted.
However, because of his eyesight, Feng Zhengsheng didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he wanted to ask Meng Zitao to help take a look: "Brother, I want to trouble you to help me confirm it." ”
Meng Zitao nodded and carefully picked up the "Gezhiyu Treatise", however, no one present knew that his heart was like a turbulent wave at this moment, because this "Gezhiyu Treatise" was actually glowing with golden light, which meant that he could learn skills from it, and it was also the medical skills of an ancient famous doctor.
At this time, Meng Zitao didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
As mentioned earlier, this kind of thing is very rare, and Meng Zitao originally thought that he didn't know when he would be able to encounter another one, but he didn't expect to encounter it so soon, and his luck was not bad.
But Meng Zitao doesn't have the "spirituality" to acquire skills at all now, and this "Gezhiyu Treatise" is very important to Feng Zhengsheng, even if he wants to buy it, he can't open that mouth, and when Feng Zhengsheng gives it away, then it will be very difficult for him to see it again, isn't it unattainable?
However, "spirituality" is also very rare, and Meng Zitao will not be able to find it at all for a while, and in a hurry, he uses his abilities on the lots he just photographed, and the result is both disappointed and surprised.
After a while, Feng Zhengsheng couldn't wait: "How is it?"
Meng Zitao came back to his senses and nodded: "I don't know if it's the author or not, but at least from the perspective of paper and other aspects, it should be fine." ”
Feng Zhengsheng was relieved when he heard this, and said happily: "That's good, that's good!"
Seeing Feng Zhengsheng's pleasantly surprised appearance, Meng Zitao had no choice but to return the things, wondering in his heart, where to get the "spirituality"? Why don't you go to the Forbidden City to have a look? However, even if he takes a night plane to the capital, it will be at least tomorrow when he comes back, but can Feng Zhengsheng wait?
At this time, I heard Feng Zhengsheng say: "Brother, I have to go back immediately, I can't participate in your company's auction this time, I'm sorry!"
Meng Zitao waved his hand, indicating that he was not polite, and sighed secretly, it seemed that he had no chance.
"Forget it, I don't plan to be a doctor anyway, so if I can't learn it, I can't learn it. ”
Thinking about it this way, Meng Zitao felt much more comfortable, after all, his hobby was not here, even if he had superb medical skills, he had no intention of becoming a doctor, and there was no use. Besides, he suddenly has superb medical skills, and maybe he will be suspected by others.
Meng Zitao is not the kind of person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, once he puts it down, he will no longer be entangled, and said with a smile that it doesn't matter.
Next, Feng Zhengsheng asked Meng Zitao to help take a look at the pair of Taiping elephants, and there was no problem either.
Just as Meng Zitao picked up the incense stick and was about to study, he saw Jin Dong walking in from outside the door with a smile on his face. As soon as he came in, he held Feng Zhengyi's hand and greeted him: "Mr. Feng, we haven't seen each other for a while, how about going to have tea together?"
Feng Zhengsheng said apologetically: "Mr. Jin, if it was usual, I would definitely not say a word, but today is really not good, I am in a hurry to return to Xijing." ”
Jin Dong was a little regretful, and then reacted: "Mr. Feng, why do you go back to Xijing, do you take the train?"
Feng Zhengsheng said strangely: "How can you take a train, of course you take a plane." ”
Jin Dong said: "Mr. Feng, then I can only regret to tell you that there is no flight to Xijing in Luzhou in the evening, and it will be more than two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow at the earliest." ”
"You're not mistaken, are you?" Feng Zhengsheng was a little anxious.
"You can't go wrong with that. As he spoke, Jin Dong took out his mobile phone to check the flight information, and sure enough, as he said, there will be a flight only at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow.
"What about the train?" Feng Zhengsheng asked.
Jin Dong checked the train timetable again: "Even if the train can be taken now, you won't be able to get to Xijing until tomorrow afternoon." Mr. Feng, what is your urgent matter, or will I have someone to send you to Xijing overnight?"
Feng Zhengsheng thought about it, but gave up, because if he drove a car, it would take more than ten hours even if it was smooth, and instead of this, he might as well take the plane back tomorrow.
Jin Dong immediately invited: "In this case, Mr. Feng will stay with me tonight, right?"
Since there is time, where to live is not to live, Feng Zhengsheng agreed, and of course he agreed to Jin Dong's mention just now.
The group followed Jin Dong to a reception room, and immediately a waiter brought tea and delicious snacks.
Noticing that Feng Zhengsheng asked Meng Zitao to sit next to him, Jin Dong was a little curious, and when he was about to ask, he heard someone knock on the door, and then, he saw a man in his thirties walking in. This person is tall, handsome, and has a talent.
Jin Dong was surprised and said, "Qinghuai, why are you only here now?"
The man nodded politely to everyone, and then said to Jin Dong: "Don't mention it, my classmate is drunk and won't let me go." ”
"Female classmate, right?" Jin Dong laughed.
"It's like I only have female classmates. ”
The man rolled his eyes, then said, "There's something you want to understand. ”
"What's the matter?" Jin Dong asked.
The man looked at Meng Zitao and them, and signaled that it was not convenient to say it here.
Jin Dong said sorry to Feng Zhengsheng, and then walked out of the door with the man, and after a while, the two walked back.
After coming in, Jin Dong first introduced the two parties, the man's name was Ma Qinghuai, and he was his friend from the capital.
Feng Zhengsheng also introduced Meng Zitao and asked, "Mr. Jin, is there something wrong with you?"
Jin Dong said: "That's the case, did you just shoot an incense tube?"
Feng Zhengsheng said: "It was taken by Brother Meng. ”
"Is this it?" Meng Zitao opened the box placed next to him.
"That's it. ”
Ma Qinghuai smiled at Meng Zitao and said, "Brother Meng, this incense tube is useful to me, I don't know if I can cut my love?"
"What a joke, can I still give you the duck in my hand?"
Meng Zitao sneered, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I also like this incense tube, and I have no intention of making a move." ”
Ma Qinghuai arched his hand to Meng Zitao: "Be accommodating, otherwise, you bought it for 72,000, I'll make up a whole number, how about 100,000?"
Meng Zitao still shook his head and politely refused.
This made Ma Qinghuai a little dissatisfied in his heart, but if he asked for someone now, he would not give Meng Zitao a look, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if I owe Brother Meng a favor, let it be okay to give it to me?"
Meng Zitao still disagreed, and sneered in his heart: "A favor is worth tens of millions, what a joke!"
Ma Qinghuai was a little angry, secretly gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and said, "Add another 50,000!"
Meng Zitao still replied the same.
Seeing this situation, Feng Zhengsheng was a little strange, looking towards the incense tube in the box, only to see that the incense tube was in the shape of a long straight cylinder, the size was not small, the height was more than 30 centimeters, the author used a knife to write on behalf of the portrayal of "all the way to Lianke" on the outer wall of agarwood, carved simple, carved especially strong, thick pulp, delicate and vivid ornamentation, compact layout, it is indeed a good thing.
However, because of the material, the price of the incense tube is not much more expensive, 100,000 is at the top, 150,000 is already considered a "sky-high price", Feng Zhengsheng really can't understand, why Ma Qinghuai insisted on buying this incense tube, is there any mystery hidden in it?
At this time, Jin Dong spoke: "Brother Meng, I can see that you care about this incense tube very much, but this incense tube is really important to Qinghuai's grandfather, otherwise, I will add another 50,000 yuan, and you transfer it to us, how about it?"
As soon as the words fell, Ma Qinghuai waved his hand and said, "Don't need your money, Brother Meng, I'll give you 300,000 yuan, buy this incense tube, it's okay, right?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Okay, 300,000 is 300,000, but you have to let me take out the things first!"
