Just as Meng Zitao was observing there, an expert who was also a porcelain researcher next to him spoke: "I said Lao Gao, your sweet white glaze is cheap, but I'm not hitting you, this thing does have a glance at first glance, but if you look closely, I always feel that the color is a little weird, and the pulp doesn't look natural."

Gao Lao glanced at him: "What's unnatural, I think Lao Zhang, you are a pink eye offender." ”

Zhang Lao grinned: "I see that you don't have a bottom in your heart, otherwise with your character, how could you take things out?"

Gao Lao has a habit of keeping good things secret, and rarely takes them out to share with others, if it weren't for his uncertainty in his heart, Zhang Lao would not believe that he would let Meng Zitao appreciate it.

Gao Lao said slowly: "Could it be that I am in a good mood today, and I can't discuss it with Meng Xiaoyou?"

Zhang Lao smiled and said nothing, whether there is a problem or not, just see what Meng Zitao says, if Meng Zitao also thinks that there is no problem, then it is estimated that there is no problem, to say why he believes in Meng Zitao so much, it is because he and Wang Zhixuan are friends, so he has also heard of Meng Zitao's level.

Originally, he was actually a little skeptical in his heart, but just now at the dinner table, after listening to some of Meng Zitao's opinions, he believed that Wang Zhixuan was not lying, and Meng Zitao's level was indeed very powerful.

After a while, Meng Zitao put the jade pot spring vase back on the table, and Gao Lao hurriedly asked how the things were?

At this time, some experts gathered around, and some people even asked Meng Zitao what he could say in detail.

So, Mencius Tao talked eloquently: "First of all, let's talk about the tire glaze, the tire color of Yongle sweet white glaze is beige, and there is a lake green phenomenon at the glaze, and the Qing Dynasty imitation tire glaze is white and fine, and it is also artificially drawn, but the carcass is thick, and the top and bottom are relatively uniform, the glaze is smooth, the workmanship is regular, the glaze is fine and white, and the treasure light is seen from time to time, but there is no lake water green phenomenon at the glaze. ”

"As for modern imitations, mechanical ceramic tires, grouting molding, tire repair and glaze lack of exquisiteness, the glaze color is mostly mixed with chemical materials, the hair color is extremely unnatural, and the treasure light is not visible, and the 'thief light' is obviously easy to see. ”

"If you use light to screen, the light transmittance of Yongle sweet white ware gradually weakens from top to bottom, this is because Yongle porcelain, from the bottom, waist to the mouth, the blank tire gradually thins from thickness. ”

"The imitation of the Qing Dynasty has a uniform thickness of the carcass of the whole body, so the transparency under the light is basically the same. Due to the rough refining of modern imitations, there are many impurity particles, and the uneven carcass is more common under the light. ”

"Then use a 20x microscope to look at the bubbles, and the large, medium and small bubbles of Yongle sweet white ware coexist densely. Clear imitation utensils, the size of the bubbles is sparsely distributed, and the size of the bubbles of modern imitation products is evenly and densely distributed...... To sum up, from these aspects, there should be no problem with this jade pot spring vase, but ......"

Elder Gao originally breathed a sigh of relief, and the three words "but" made his heart rise again: "But what?"

Meng Zitao said regretfully: "I feel a little sorry, this jade pot spring bottle has been repaired. ”

"What?!!" Everyone around was in an uproar, you have to simply say that there is no problem with the authenticity, but everyone is an experienced expert, how can you not even see the repaired porcelain? This is really unlikely!

Seeing everyone's unbelievable appearance, Meng Zitao felt that this was normal, but the level of the person who repaired it was too high, even if he did it himself, he might not be able to reach this level.

Elder Gao couldn't help but ask, "Where did it be repaired?"

Meng Zitao pointed to a position at the bottom of the bottle and said: "The place is not big, almost a quarter of the bottom, there is a relatively long line, we use a strong flashlight, we can vaguely see the location of the repair." ”

While speaking, Meng Zitao picked up a strong flashlight and took a look at the position he said, and after his guidance, everyone did see a faint line, but it was not very obvious, and under normal circumstances, they couldn't notice it at all.

When everyone couldn't see clearly, Meng Zitao continued: "Using a relatively simple method, you can also find this problem. ”

Meng Zitao took out a key and tapped it lightly on the repaired part, and then on the intact part next to it, and the sound on both sides was obviously not the same.

Gao Lao's expression was bitter: "This method is very simple, but under normal circumstances, no one will knock the entire porcelain once, right?"

Everyone has also said that this is true, unless you have the ability to find a place to repair, otherwise it can only rely on luck.

Zhang Lao said to Meng Zitao: "I have never seen such superb repair skills before, I wonder if Xiaoyou can solve the puzzle?"

Meng Zitao had no idea to hide, introduced: "This is a relatively new technology, it is also simple to say, first attach the cotton thread to the crack, and then drip the configured solution on the cotton thread, after a few hours, most of the stains in the punching line are 'pulled out', and then use a high-speed electric fine grinding wheel to grind the punching wire out of a fine groove, grinding on both sides. Then the debugged 'magnetic slurry powder' is filled into a fine groove, and after the porcelain paddle powder is cured, it is finely scraped and polished, and finally heated with a blowtorch to produce a glaze. ”

"Of course, then again, it's easy to say, but to be able to repair it to this point is already ingenious. Moreover, this kind of repair does not have much impact on the value of the whole device, and if the old man buys it cheaply, it is also a leak. ”

Originally, Old Gao was still awkward in his heart, but when he heard Meng Zitao say this, a smile appeared on his face again.

"Are you happy now?" said Mr. Zhang.

"I didn't let you gloat, of course I'm happy. ”

"You're so boring, as if I like to see you unlucky. ”

"What seems to be, it's ...... at all"

The second elder quarreled, and immediately the room was full of laughter.

Due to the heavy task, everyone did not rest for long, and they were ready to go to the stadium to continue the identification.

Cai Lao is the most respected old man in the expert group, he mainly studies calligraphy and painting appraisal, and his eyesight is also at the top level in China, but he doesn't talk much, he mainly plays the role of a listener in small talk, but once he speaks, he will inevitably get to the point.

For Meng Zitao, Cai Lao is very appreciative, he can have such an achievement at a young age, the key attitude is modest, and there is no pride and complacency, which he thinks is particularly rare, and he has a high opinion of Meng Zitao's future achievements.

Before leaving, Cai Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, why don't you join us in the afternoon?"

Zhang Lao next to him said in a loud voice: "Yes, if you are here, it is equivalent to giving us a reassuring pill." ”

The person in charge also agreed with this decision, not mentioning Meng Zitao's identity as a close disciple of Zheng Anzhi, Meng Zitao's status in the calligraphy world can bring a lot of gimmicks to the show.

However, Meng Zitao still declined politely, just a calligraphy show, it made him a little more troubled, if he went to the appraisal show again, he would really have to be easy to look at the antique street in the future, otherwise how many leaks can be picked up.

Cai Lao smiled and said: "Xiao Meng, don't be busy refusing first, it's good to follow us, at least there is news that the treasure holder wants to make a move, we are much better than you trying your luck outside." ”

Cai Lao said this point, to the point is indeed an advantage, some people may not have the intention of making a move at first, but when they learn that the valuation is in line with the psychological price, it is normal to have the idea of selling.

Of course, in this case, there is certainly no possibility of picking up leaks, but it is definitely not normal to think about leaks all the time.

For a while, Meng Zitao hesitated a little, and Cai Lao said again: "Xiao Meng, don't you want to be famous?"

Meng Zitao nodded yes.

Cai Lao smiled and shook his head: "You just think that after becoming famous, if you fancy a thing, it is likely that others will offer a high price, which is a normal phenomenon and indeed an inconvenience, but then again, personal ability is limited, the country is so big, you can't visit the national market every day, right? Which situation do you think is more profitable in comparison?"

If it is for ordinary people, of course, the profit after becoming famous will definitely be more, but Meng Zitao has the ability to help him pick up the leaks, so he doesn't want to be famous.

But now, Meng Zitao has also turned a corner, and it is indeed like Cai Lao said, personal ability is limited, and it is impossible for him to go to the antique market in Ling City every day, let alone other places.

So he didn't want to be famous in order to pick up leaks, and he could be regarded as losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds, after all, he couldn't pick up big leaks every day, and the gains outweighed the losses.

With Cai Lao's enlightenment, Meng Zitao agreed to participate in the treasure appreciation conference, so that the person in charge was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly talked to Meng Zitao about the issue of remuneration.

For the sudden appearance of a young expert in the expert group, all the uninformed treasure holders were very curious and puzzled, but when the organizer introduced the identity of Meng Zitao, everyone was surprised, but they also accepted it.

The appraisal at the audition site is no different from the appraisal on weekdays, but because there are too many items to be identified, more rapid judgment is required in the appraisal.

Meng Zitao is responsible for the identification of calligraphy and painting works, in line with his identity as a calligrapher, at first he was a little uncomfortable, but his adaptability is relatively fast, as a few antiques have passed, he has become more and more comfortable with the appraisal. Originally, Cai Lao next to him also helped him take a look, but later saw that he was skilled and there were no mistakes, so he put his mind at ease and patronized the calligraphy and painting works in front of him.

Of course, it was not all smooth sailing, because although Meng Zitao had superb calligraphy, who knew if he was also highly qualified? In addition, his age was too young, so there would also be a situation where the treasure bearer was unwilling to give Meng Zitao an appraisal.

At this time, Cai Lao stood up and explained to the treasure holder, and said that Meng Zitao's eyesight was superb and no worse than him, which made the treasure holder reluctantly agree.

But if the result of the appraisal is genuine, it is good to say, the fake is a little troublesome, a few treasure holders do not believe in Meng Zitao's judgment, and let Cai Lao appraise, until Cai Lao also gives the results of the fake is willing.

In this way, it greatly affected the speed of identification, and the person in charge saw that this was not possible, so he came up with an idea to let the collections of the five treasure holders in front of Meng Zitao and Cai Lao be identified by Meng Zitao and Cai Lao respectively, and each appraisal result, both of them were written on paper to see what the result was. If the results are all correct, then Meng Zitao has passed.

The treasure bearers agreed, and Meng Zitao and Cai Lao also readily agreed.

Folk ancient paintings, especially those famous calligraphy and paintings, the probability of authenticity is very low, among the ten people, Mencius Tao and Cai Lao even looked at eight of them, all of them are fakes.

The results given by Meng Zitao and Cai Lao are a pair, and both of them also wrote a "fake" word on the paper.

By this time, Meng Zitao's eyesight had been recognized by everyone, and he no longer talked about things as young.

At this time, Cai Lao, who was in the appraisal, suddenly sighed lightly: "Hey, Xiao Meng, can you come and see this painting?"

Meng Zitao looked over and found that this was a picture of a lady with Chen Hongshou.

Chen Hongshou character Zhanghou, called Lao Lian, was a painter in the late Ming Dynasty, able to poetry, calligraphy, especially good at painting. In his early years, he studied under Lan Ying, and took Li Gonglin, etc., and later became a family of his own. The subject matter of the painting is wide, and the attainments of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, bamboo, stones, grasses and insects are all profound, especially the figure painting is famous in the world.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he became a monk in Yunmen Temple, and called himself repentant, also known as Lao Chi. The painted flowers and birds, grass insects, bamboo and stone are finely outlined, the colors are clear and beautiful, and they are quite decorative. He also paints flowers with ink freehand, and the brush and ink are hearty. With concise and refined lines and colors, calm and subtle expressions, he has created a unique and peculiar artistic style, reflecting the painter's arrogant and stubborn personality.

The torso of the characters is majestic, and the clothes are fine and round. In his later works, the figure paintings were exaggerated, and some of the images were abstract and weird, in order to highlight the character traits of the characters. His figure paintings are quite famous, and Cui Zizhong, another figure painter in the late Ming Dynasty, is known as "South Chen and North Cui".

Speaking of which, Chen Hongshou's personality is like that of Picasso, and the alcoholic woman is his source of inspiration. Mao Qiling's "Farewell Biography of Chen Laolian" wrote: "Gu is a good woman in her life, but she is not a woman who sits and does not drink; There is a begging painting with his wife, and he should go. ”

Compared with the traditional paintings of ladies, Chen Hongshou has changed the traditional image of resentful women, and has transformed the women in the painting from the role of being seen by others to having an autonomous role, giving them their own feelings, and expressing their inner world equally, with compassion and praise.

This painting is also like this, the woman's long robe reaches the ground, the wide robe has large sleeves, the hairpin decoration on the head, and the face is represented by the "three white methods"; it is fat and beautiful, beautiful and plump, holding a folding fan in her left hand, inserting her waist in her right hand, and wearing a sachet on her body. The lines are fine and even, with multiple turns and changes in weight, with the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, which appropriately shows the brilliance of the characters. She seems to be the incarnation of Chen Laolian herself, looking at all the injustices in the world, looking noble and elegant.
