Meng Zitao glanced at Li Hu, saw him smiling at himself, and said in his heart, this guy is also a little capable.

Zhong Jinxian looked at Meng Zitao, and when he saw Meng Zitao nodding slightly, he said to Ji Derang, "How much are your antiques worth?"

Ji Derang said: "A few years ago, I asked experts to appraise it, and it can be worth one or two million, but now I don't know, it should have risen a lot." ”

Zhong Jinxian said: "Okay, you go and bring all the things." ”

Ji Derang said in a low voice: "I still have a big vat there, and it's not too convenient to move it over." ”

"It's inconvenient to move over!" Zhong Jinxian's face was flat, he didn't sleep the night before yesterday, and he had to let Tian Mengmeng degas one day yesterday, he was already very tired, and he finally got a good night's sleep, but he didn't expect that when he was sleeping soundly at three or four o'clock, he was stirred up by Ji Dabao, so it's strange that he didn't have grievances!

Ji Derang had no choice but to go back and get those antiques, while Ji Dabao could only squat next to him, facing the security guard's eyes, he didn't dare to move.

Zhong Jinxian looked at him like this, he was angry, he really wanted to go up and beat him, but he just looked dirty and dirty, and he was still stained with gasoline, and his mind to do it was also light, and he turned his head to look at Li Hu on the side:

"What's the matter with this guy, is there something wrong with his brain?"

"I don't know how he came to burn the car. Li Hu replied.

Ji Dabao raised his head and said angrily: "Phew, you got 400,000 yuan from my house, you say you don't know?"

"I've been doing it for a long time, and I'm a fool. Meng Zitao thought so, ordinary normal people, at this time must be honest and not cause trouble, I didn't expect Ji Dabao to say this, isn't this deliberately offending Li Hu? No wonder he came over to burn the car.

A cold light flashed in Li Hu's eyes, he didn't want to bother with this kind of two fools, and he would naturally be obedient when he turned back.

Zhong Jinxian looked at Li Hu with a smile: "It seems that the problem is still with you." ”

"It's true that I'm not doing anything well. Li Hu admitted his mistake very frankly, and then he took out a box from his pocket and put it in front of Zhong Jinxian: "Zhong Shao, this is the lapis lazuli lion ball ornament I got some time ago, do you like it or not." ”

Lapis lazuli is a rare and ancient stone, and the blue color of lapis lazuli is often very valuable. "Shi Ya" cloud: "Lapis lazuli color is like the sky, or the complex gold dust is scattered, brilliant, if the stars are beautiful in the sky", so in ancient times, lapis lazuli was usually used as a symbol of majesty and sublime,

The lion ball in the box is carved from high-quality lapis lazuli, with a strong color and pure and uniform blue, which is not available to ordinary people. Moreover, the whole instrument is concave and convex, and the whole body is pondered and supple, reflecting the artist's superb skills and meticulous carving. In addition, the meaning of the lion ball is also very good, and it is indeed a relatively rare utensil.

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Zhong Jinxian felt that this thing was indeed quite satisfactory, and said with a smile: "Li Hu, you are very generous this time." ”

"Actually, I don't care much about this thing, and it's a pearl of dust here for me. Li Hu smiled and waved his hand, not showing that he cared, but in fact, he liked this thing very much, and he usually played with it, if it weren't for the fact that he was in too much of a hurry, he couldn't get the right thing, and he wouldn't have brought it over at all.

Thinking of this, Li Hu's heart was a little bloody, he glanced at Ji Dabao next to him, and thought ruthlessly in his heart: "I'll let you know when I go back, why everyone calls me Li Hu!"

Zhong Jinxian was very satisfied with this statue, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept the things." ”

Li Hu nodded and looked very happy, but he was too depressed in his heart.

Meng Zitao saw Zhong Jinxian sitting and yawning, and said with a smile: "You all go back to sleep, it is estimated that it will take a while for him to bring things over, just wait here for me." ”

Zhong Jinxian knew Meng Zitao's ability, even if he didn't sleep for a day or two, he was very energetic, so he was not polite: "Okay, if there is something, call us." ”

"No problem. ”

Xu Wen, as the owner here, was not too embarrassed to let Meng Zitao stay here alone, and was finally dragged away by Tian Mengmeng.

There were a few people left, Meng Zitao and Li Hu had nothing to say, but Li Hu showed that he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say whatever you want. Meng Zitao said lightly.

Li Hu smiled all over his face and said, "Meng Shao, I don't know if you remember the two thieves you met on the bus a few days ago?"

"What, you have something to do with them?" Meng Zitao asked.

Li Hu touched his nose: "It's really a bit related, one of them is my brother-in-law." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You have a lot of people, so you can't arrange a job for him?"

Li Hu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't arrange, it's that this kid is a lazy bone, he doesn't do anything serious to arrange for him, and he steals when he has no money, I want to break his hands and feet." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, disapproving, this matter has nothing to do with him: "What do you want to say, let me let him go?"

"No, no, no, I won't let him in for a while, lest he be embarrassed outside. This is Li Hu's heart, with his current status, it is indeed quite embarrassing to have such a brother-in-law.

Then, Li Hushen said mysteriously: "Meng Shao, can we borrow a step to speak?"

"Can't say it here?"

Seeing that Li Hu shook his head, Meng Zitao did not refuse, and the two walked to a secluded corner next to them together.

"Can you say it now?" Meng Zitao said.

"That's the case, my brother-in-law stole a foreigner's things three months ago, and because there were no cameras around, the foreigner found out that he had stolen something, and he didn't find out that it was my brother-in-law who stole it. This foreigner seems to be the boss of a large foreign group, very powerful, and during that time, he caught a lot of thieves. ”

Li Hu smiled bitterly: "During that time, my brother-in-law also knew that something was wrong, so he went out to hide, and at the same time he was also very interested in what he stole, but he never researched anything, and finally half a month ago, he told me about it." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then you should go and return the things to that foreigner, maybe he can give you a little reward." ”

"That's definitely impossible, not to mention that the foreigner has returned to China, the thing is an antique from our country, no matter how muddy I am, it is impossible to return it to a foreigner! As he spoke, Li Hu took out the thing he said.

Meng Zitao took a look at it and found that it was a very rare bronze sitting human-shaped seal.

You may think of kneeling and sitting, and that's pretty much the same, but when you look closely, "sitting," "kneeling," and "kneeling" are actually different postures. These are all rituals that belong to China itself. Later, furniture such as tables and chairs appeared, and Hulu's "sitting" (i.e., sitting with his feet down) began to slowly become popular.

As for the pre-Wuhu Chaohua, people at that time sat on the ground, sitting with their knees bent and grounded, and their hips on their heels. When kneeling, the knees are on the ground, but the hips are kept at a certain distance from the heels. Only when the hips do not touch the heel and the waist is straight, it is called "kneel", or "long kneeling". These different postures, in turn, are related to the rituals of the time, and they are generally distinct.

Of course, as the world changes, it is enough to have some understanding of these ancient etiquettes, and ordinary people generally do not use them in their daily lives.

To get back to the point, Mencius Tao got this seal, in fact, it is an ancient seal, extremely rare, made in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the seal has a sitting and sitting person, is a unique artistic image of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Seals with a similar theme are only exhibited at the Shanghai Museum and at auctions in previous years.

But this side is a little smaller, less than two centimeters long, but it is small, and the characters on the printed surface are still lifelike, which also makes it even rarer.

Moreover, this seal is not an unearthed cultural relic, it is a heirloom, and it is a rare treasure in the ancient seal. It's just that due to its size and preservation, its value may be slightly lower, only worth about sixty or seventy thousand.

However, when he observed that in the end, after Meng Zitao used the ability as he was customary, his heart suddenly shook and he felt that it was very unbelievable, because the value given by the ability was several times higher, which was obviously unreasonable.

You have to say that when Meng Zitao first entered the industry, the valuation may be so different, but now it is simply impossible. Then, it can only be said that there is something special about this seal.

Meng Zitao used the ability to check in detail again, and here I want to say that in addition to the change in aura, the ability to observe things using the ability is not so much consumed, but thinking of his own aura needs, for the future, the ability to observe things is better to use less.

After checking again, there is nothing special about the seal, so its high value must be related to something related to it, and Meng Zitao's goal is directly aimed at that foreigner.

Having said all this, in fact, it was only less than half a minute since the seal arrived in Meng Zitao's hand, and Meng Zitao raised his head and asked, "Why did you give me this thing?"

Li Hu smiled and said, "You are an expert, and things should be able to play some role in giving you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Hehe, then you are not afraid that the other party will find me? Or do you want them to find me?"

Li Hu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Of course this is impossible, it will not be good for me to say this at all, and it can be regarded as handing it over to the country if it is handed over to you." ”

Meng Zitao sneered: "Hey, I'll take the thing, and I'll tell you the truth, this thing is worth fifty or sixty thousand." ”

Li Hu nodded, and said in his heart, if it weren't for the cheapness of things, I wouldn't give it to you!

Meng Zitao said: "Does that foreigner know what his name is?"

Li Hu said: "It seems to be called David, a very common name." He is said to be a Dutchman and a great jeweler. ”

Meng Zitao nodded and put the seal away.

went back and waited for a while, but Ji Derang was late.

The things were transported in a small van, and Meng Zitao walked over, and the most conspicuous thing was the blue and white multicolored dragon pattern vat in the middle, but Meng Zitao only glanced at it a few times, and said to Ji Derang: "Okay, you can take this vat back, and take the other things to the house." ”

Ji Derang was surprised and said, "You mean there is something wrong with this big vat? But it is my family's ancestral heirloom! ”

Meng Zitao said: "It makes no sense for you to tell me this, if there is a problem with something, there is a problem, and to tell you the truth, this thing is imitated during the Republic of China, and the imitation is relatively clumsy, you should take it home and pickle vegetables." ”

The corners of Ji De's mouth twitched, it was obviously impossible for Meng Zitao to deliberately say that the truth was false in this situation, so the result was obvious.

"What's the matter, I said how I used to find someone to identify it, and it was all vague, and it was a fake for a long time!"

Ji Derang felt that he had spent money but did not get the truth, and he was quite angry and scolded in his heart.

Next, the rest of the things have been moved into the house, the things are big and small, count, a total of eleven pieces, most of them are all kinds of porcelain, the largest is a large reward bottle with the "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", there are seventy or eighty centimeters, and the workmanship is also pointable.

It's just that this thing is not from the Qianlong Dynasty, but an imitation of the Guangxu period, although it is also valuable, but it is not high.

After briefly looking at this most eye-catching vase, Meng Zitao focused his attention on a piece of jade rough not far away.

This is a piece of Khotanese jade rough white leather, the so-called white skin, it refers to the white flake attached to the surface of the jade seed rough or very shallow embedded in the fleshy surface, or cloud-like flake white skin-like substance.

White leather is generally divided into two kinds, the first is the clear material, the skin and flesh are clear at a glance, you can see the quality of the jade.

The second kind, the white skin is thicker, the full skin wraps the entire surface of the seed material, look at the picture to see how the meat quality is, the insiders call it gambling material or stone wrapped jade. Because the skin is thicker and looks stiffer, it is easy for expert jade friends to distinguish that it is white skin, but people who are not experts are easy to think that it is stiff material, in fact, the gambling material of white skin is much higher than that of other stone bag jade gambling materials can cut out the jade.

And Khotanese jade pay attention to the inside and the outside, a lot of general stiff material is basically the same outside and inside, in fact, there is nothing to bet on, the reason why the white leather can produce good meat is that it itself is not a stiff material, but its surface thick skin gives people the illusion of stiff material.

Therefore, before betting on this material, we must first recognize whether it is white skin or stiff, blindly start may lose a lot, and now the seller is also very fine, and can generally recognize the white leather material, and the price is generally not low, if it is a few years earlier, it should be easy to pick up the leakage of this white leather material, and now it is estimated that there are few opportunities.

Just like Meng Zitao, when he first entered the industry a few years ago, he had an opportunity to pick up white leather leakage, but because the money was not enough, he borrowed money and went back to find that the original stone was bought.

After that, Meng Zitao often looked for white leather materials, but never encountered such cheap and high gambling white leather materials, this matter has become a regret for him, I didn't expect to see a piece of white leather gambling materials today, and the performance is very good, which made him interested for a while.
