However, it is a pity that the whole picture scroll has no chapters and no seals, let alone inscriptions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Speaking of which, for calligraphy and painting, the inscription seal is equivalent to the identity certificate of modern people. With this identity certificate, we can accurately know and determine the specific age of the calligraphy and painting and who the author is.

However, there is nothing in the anonymous works, and the author can only be judged by the style of calligraphy and painting, which is difficult to determine.

Because many literati and writers in ancient times, or hermits and the like, often had a high level of literary literacy and artistic quality, their authors of calligraphy and painting may not be worse than some famous artists, but they are not widely known because of their lack of fame.

Because of this, it has also caused the difficulty of the anonymous calligraphy and painting to break the dynasty, unless there can be obvious style characteristics, otherwise, it is the public to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable.

Although I don't know who the author is, it is obvious that the artistic level of this painting is very high, and Meng Zitao also admires it, but when he uses the ability, he is surprised in his heart.

Mei Guoxian smiled and asked, "Teacher Meng, I don't know if you like this painting from the Ming Dynasty?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "This painting is really good, but I take the liberty of asking, how do you know that it is a painting of the Ming Dynasty?"

Mei Guoxian smiled: "Actually, this painting was handed down from a friend's family of mine, I did him a favor before, and he gave me this painting, I don't think he will lie to me on this issue." Besides, since it's an anonymous work, the first thing you can be sure of is that it's unlikely that something is a fake, right?"

"Hmm. Meng Zitao immediately nodded in agreement.

Why people make fakes, in the final analysis, is for money. But in the area of calligraphy and painting, only the works of famous artists are valuable, and what is the reason for copying an anonymous work after imitating it for a long time?

Surely the makers are not stupid, they would never go to great lengths to forge such a thing?

Conversely, it is inferred that anonymous works on the market are generally not fake.

As for imitation or copying, it is even more impossible, why should the author copy or copy? It is not for the sake of fame, study, and so on, so in general, it will definitely leave a payment.

Mei Guoxian saw that Meng Zitao agreed with his point of view, so he continued: "Since it is not a fake, let alone an imitation, it is the real thing. As we all know, it must be difficult to identify whether something is genuine or not. But knowing that something is true and deducing it the other way around is relatively simple and easy. ”

Mei Guoxian continued: "I, although I don't have much research on calligraphy and painting, but because there is a paper mill under my name, I have studied all kinds of paper from ancient times to the present, so I judge from the paper of calligraphy and painting, this is a very popular silk paper in the Ming Dynasty, and this painting is naturally from the Ming Dynasty." I don't know what Mr. Meng thinks of me?"

"Bang Bang!" Meng Zitao applauded: "Mr. Mei said it very well, I also think this painting is from the Ming Dynasty, and the author's level is very good." ”

"If you like it, this painting will be given to you. Mei Guoxian smiled, and then took out a thick red envelope and put it in front of Meng Zitao: "In addition, this little meaning is not a tribute." ”

In fact, Mei Guoxian was originally just going to give Meng Zitao this red envelope, but later Meng Zitao helped again, and saw the problem of feng shui, he felt that the red envelope he prepared was not enough, but it was not suitable to send too valuable things, so he took out this anonymous painting.

Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Mei, this painting is enough, you better take it back." ”

Mei Guoxian persuaded: "Don't, you worked hard today, this is what I should do, please be sure to accept it." ”

Meng Zitao was a little gracious, but finally accepted it, and then chatted a few more words, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he was ready to leave.

"Teacher Meng, let's go after eating. Mei Guoxian said.

"No, I've been busy lately, and I'm going to Xijing soon, so let's get in touch when we have time later." ”

"Okay, in that case, then I won't delay you. ”

Next, Mei Guoxian got up and sent Meng Zitao to the door of the villa.

Before leaving, Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Mei, I suggest that you should pay more attention to the problem of that tree, I feel that things may not be so simple." ”

"Okay, Master Tang should come over tomorrow the day after tomorrow, and I will tell him the situation in detail. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

After saying goodbye to Mei Guoxian, Meng Zitao drove out of the community, but as soon as the car passed through the gate of the community, Meng Zitao noticed that Fang Wenliang was waving at him in front of him.

Meng Zitao was a little strange, why was Fang Wenliang still here, did he know that he would leave immediately, this was unlikely, right?

Meng Zitao stopped the car next to Fang Wenliang, and after a look, he realized that the rear tire of Fang Wenliang's car was broken.

"Boss Fang, did you call to repair the car? If you need my help, just say it. ”

Fang Wenliang said with a smile: "It's already been beaten, they will come over immediately." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and then asked, "I don't know if Boss Fang has anything else to do?"

Fang Wenliang said with a smile: "It's nothing to do, but I admire you very much Teacher Meng and want to have a good fate." ”

As he spoke, he took out his business card and handed it to Meng Zitao, and out of politeness, Meng Zitao also gave him a business card of his own.

Fang Wenliang took the business card and looked at it, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't be surprised, in fact, I really don't do feng shui, I'm just slightly interested." ”

Fang Wenliang put away his surprise and said with admiration: "Teacher Meng, you are not in this business, you are so familiar with feng shui magic weapons, in comparison, I am a little ashamed of myself. ”

Meng Zitao said modestly: "Don't say that, there is a specialization in the art industry, not to mention anything else, in terms of magic experience, I am definitely far worse than you." ”

Fang Wenliang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I just have some experience, but this line of work still depends on talent, my talent is too poor, I have been in contact with magic weapons for more than ten years, and I am not sure about the identification of magic weapons, the identification of most things depends on my grandfather, if not, I will not be so ugly just now, if it is still like this in the future, I estimate that I will have to say goodbye to this industry." ”

Meng Zitao's heart moved, and then he smiled: "Boss Fang, don't be so pessimistic, and don't you still have friends, you can ask your friends to help at that time." ”

Fang Wenliang shook his head: "Hehe, there is a way that peers are enemies, if you really want to get to that point and find a friend in everything, it is estimated that this friend will not be able to do it." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Wenliang asked tentatively, "Teacher Meng, aren't you interested in the magic weapon business?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, there is a specialization in the art industry, if I encounter a magic weapon, of course I won't miss it, but I usually don't take the initiative to find a magic weapon, and I have no intention of changing careers." ”

Fang Wenliang was overjoyed in his heart: "Teacher Meng, I have a proposal, I don't know if we can work together?" I am responsible for finding the magic weapon, and you are responsible for appraisal." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "There is no need for partnership, if you have a magic weapon and want to appraise, you can come to me, I only charge a small amount of appraisal fee according to the value of the magic weapon." ”

Fang Wenliang was a little regretful, but this is not bad, after all, he just met: "That's okay, if I need it, I'll call you." ”

"Okay, but I've been busy for the last month. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

The two chatted about feng shui for a while, and when it came to Xing, Fang Wenliang took out a string of Five Emperor coins and asked Meng Zitao to appreciate them: "This is a set of Five Emperor Coins from the Baoyuan Bureau that I collected, you can see how it is." ”

Generally speaking, the Qing Dynasty copper coins were the first in the world with the Baoquan Bureau and the Baoyuan Bureau. From Shunzhi to Xuantong, the Baoquan Bureau has never stopped minting money, the ten emperor coins of the same money bureau in the Qing Dynasty, only the Baoquan Bureau can make up, and the five emperor coins of the same money bureau can be made up of two bureaus. If it is a coin from the same coin, of course, it works best.

The set of Five Emperor Coins that Fang Wenliang took out was very good in terms of quality, and they all belonged to the best of the best, but Meng Zitao still found a problem.

"Boss Fang, if you want to say that your Five Emperor Coins are really good, but I don't think this Shunzhi Coin is very good. ”

Fang Wenliang was surprised: "Ah, what's wrong? I feel that my aura is very peaceful!"

Meng Zitao didn't say anything about the aura, but said: "In my experience, this Shunzhi coin should be a pit. ”

Meng Zitao pointed out the characteristics of the pit on this copper coin, Fang Wenliang was immediately a little stunned, and he let out a long breath: "Hey, I don't have much confidence in myself now." ”

Meng Zitao didn't say much, and he didn't know how to persuade him, after all, he was not a person in the feng shui world, and he didn't know much about the methods of identifying magic weapons in the feng shui world.

Fang Wenliang immediately cheered up and thanked Meng Zitao politely: "Teacher Meng, I accept your affection again." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't be so polite. ”

"Teacher Meng, please come over for a while. ”

Fang Wenliang took Meng Zitao to his car, opened the trunk, pulled out a camphor wood box and opened it, only to see that there were some magic weapons inside, such as copper gourds, gossip mirrors, copper bells, compasses, and so on.

Meng Zitao looked at it for a moment, and his eyes suddenly fell on a peach wood sword more than two feet long in the box.

"Teacher Meng, these gadgets in the box, if you like them, you can pick a few, even if it is my thank you gift just now. ”

In fact, in addition to thanks, Fang Wenliang also wanted to test Meng Zitao, but the next scene made his eyes widen.

"I'll take a look before I speak. As he spoke, Meng Zitao stretched out his hand to the peachwood sword.

"Teacher Meng, how did you come up with the idea of choosing this peachwood sword?!" Fang Wenliang blurted out with a surprised expression, because this peachwood sword was the best magic weapon in the box, how did Meng Zitao know?

"Because I think it's the most desirable. Meng Zitao replied with a faint smile.

"The most desirable?" Fang Wenliang was secretly surprised in his heart, because it was not easy to identify a magic weapon.

Although the methods of identifying magic instruments vary from one feng shui master to another, without exception, at least you have to hold it in your hand and feel it carefully before you can make a decision, like Meng Zitao, who can do it all at once, he really hasn't seen it, how can he not be surprised?

Meng Zitao didn't care about Fang Wenliang's surprised appearance, holding the peach wood sword in his hand, feeling the abundant aura in the peach wood sword, he was also secretly surprised, because this was obviously not an ordinary peach wood sword, and the main materials were at least hundreds.

Since ancient times, peach wood has been believed to have the functions of town house, evil spirit, blessing, etc., and it is a symbol of health and longevity, and is also called "fairy wood", "dragon wood" and "ghost wood".

One of the five trees of peach, and the five trees refer to mulberry, elm, peach, acacia and willow.

Similarly, the peach wood is the essence of the five trees, "The peach wood, the essence of the five trees, so those who suppress the evil spirit, the essence of the peach wood is born in the ghost gate, and the hundred ghosts are controlled." ”

Needless to say, the hundred-year-old peachwood sword is known to be quite precious, how could it be placed in the trunk? Meng Zitao was secretly a little strange, could it be that Fang Wenliang was blind?

"Boss Fang, did you make this peachwood sword?" Meng Zitao turned his head and asked.

Fang Wenliang smiled, shook his head and said, "Where do I have this ability, this peachwood sword was left to me by my uncle, and it was also not made by my uncle, as for who made it, it is unknown." ”
