Chapter 796: Go for the appraisal

Because of what happened to Yu Weigang, He Wanyi didn't have a good impression of Weigang's father-in-law's family, and it happened that Sima Yuelan mentioned that she wanted to do beauty, so she agreed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And Shu Ze didn't want to go, so he took the opportunity to deal with some things about the branch in Xiangjiang.

Although Meng Zitao is not afraid of people with black fire, it is also troublesome in case he is targeted, so Shu Ze arranged a bodyguard for Meng Zitao, as for a few more bodyguards, there is no need for Meng Zitao.

Shu Ze also sent a car to Meng Zitao, and the two cars set off for the destination one after the other.

The villa area where Lu Linna's grandfather lives is also a relatively famous rich villa area in Xiangjiang, but it is worse than Mid-levels or Repulse Bay.

Because it was built for a long time, it was not very fashionable, and the wealthy people in Xiangjiang paid more attention to feng shui, so the appearance was a bit rustic in Meng Zitao's opinion, and if it was him, he didn't like to live in this kind of place. Of course, if you want to talk about housing prices, that's a different story.

When I got out of the car, I saw a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old waiting at the door, this person was Yu Weigang's father-in-law, Lu Jinde.

Lu Jinde is a little fat, he has a smile on his face all the time, and he looks more amiable, but in fact, in the entire Lu family, Yu Weigang can say something to this father-in-law.

It's just that Lu Jinde is a strict wife, and his wife is strong, so he has no status at home, and some major things are completely what his wife says, and he can only do what he does. So when he treated his daughter and Yu Weigang's marriage at the beginning, he couldn't help it, and even helped his wife press her daughter.

To be honest, Yu Weigang actually didn't look down on this father-in-law before, and in the past two years, he learned that Lu Jinde was actually quite helpless, although he sometimes wanted to resist, but his personality was like this, he saw his wife like a mouse seeing a cat.

Yu Weigang introduced the two parties, Lu Jinde shook hands with Meng Zitao with a smile, and said in Mandarin that was not very fluent: "I heard that Mr. Meng is not only an antique appraisal expert, but also has a number of industries in his name, he is really young and promising." ā€

"Mr. Lu has won the prize. Meng Zitao said modestly.

Lu Jinde smiled and waved his hand: "It's not a prize at all, you look at my son-in-law, it's far worse than you, now I have a good job, but I want to go out, is the money in this world so easy to earn?" Mr. Meng, I hope you can help me in the future, I thank you in advance." ā€

"Mr. Lu, you don't have to be so polite, Gangzi is my classmate and friend, how can I have a bunch of truths. Meng Zitao thought to himself: "If you knew that I was the one who encouraged your son-in-law to set up his own door, maybe what would you say about me." ā€

Previously, although Li Yuelu was also in front of the Lu family, she added fuel and vinegar to Mencius Tao, saying that Mencius was arrogant and not a good person. But later, Yu Weigang discussed with Lu Linna not to have more complications for the time being, so he told the Lu family that Meng Zitao was just to support Yu Weigang, and as for the resignation, it had nothing to do with Meng Zitao, it was he who wanted to go out.

As soon as the couple said this, the Lu family believed most of them, as for the reason, they simply looked down on mainlanders, and how old was Yu Weigang's classmate, and he was not a child of a powerful person who went to a vocational school, how could he have such great ability?

However, Lu Jinde didn't think so, but he didn't want to say more, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to his daughter and son-in-law.

After greeting for a while, Lu Jinde invited everyone in, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I almost forgot one thing, there is another appraisal expert coming over today?"

"Hmm, why don't I know?" Yu Weigang felt uncomfortable, why hadn't he heard of this kind of thing beforehand, it was too disrespectful.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Weigang sneered a few times in his heart, the Lu family didn't want to see him, but now that he is going to resign, he has completely regarded himself as an outsider, and it is too normal not to tell himself. But in this case, why did he invite Meng Zitao to come over to identify it, what does it have to do with him whether something is real or not!

Lu Jinde didn't want Yu Weigang to feel uncomfortable, and explained: "That expert has been invited before, but because he went abroad, he has not had time, he returned to Xiangjiang yesterday, and he called today to say that he wanted to come, so he didn't have time to tell you." ā€

"Hehe, if you don't come early, if you don't come late, but if you come at this time, it's clear that it's just to show my face. ā€

Yu Weigang sneered in his heart, his expression did not change much, he just said that he knew, and apologized to Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao didn't care about this, anyway, the Lu family was similar to a cat and a dog in his eyes, as long as he didn't mess with himself, he would leave immediately after identifying something.

Because of his words, the atmosphere changed, and Lu Jinde was also a little embarrassed, and immediately brought everyone into the living room.

At this time, there were already a few people in the living room, and the one sitting in the main seat was an old man of seventy or eighty years old, Lu Jinde inherited his appearance, but the old man was a serious version of Lu Jinde, and he did not smile.

Next to Lu Linna sat with her son and mother in her arms, Lu Jinde's wife had short hair, and she knew that she was a shrewd and capable person at a glance, and her lips were relatively thin, which made her look a little mean.

"Hello grandpa. Out of politeness to the elders, Yu Weigang still respectfully saluted the old man, and Meng Zitao also greeted.

Lu Qingpeng nodded and said, "Weigang, this is your classmate?"

"Yes. Yu Weigang made an introduction.

Lu Jinde's wife listened to Yu Weigang's introduction, and pursed her lips disdainfully, thinking that Yu Weigang was going back more and more, and would actually invite a hairy young man to identify antiques, isn't this nonsense? Thinking so, she also strengthened her belief in letting Yu Weigang get out.

"You may be seated. Lu Qingpeng also didn't think that Meng Zitao's level would be high, but out of politeness, he didn't show it, invited Meng Zitao to take a seat, and asked the maid to serve tea to Meng Zitao.

Lu Qingpeng asked casually, "Mr. Meng, I don't know where you are now?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's a part-time job for yourself." ā€

"Oh, start your own business, that's good. Seeing that Meng Zitao didn't want to talk more, Lu Qingpeng didn't ask more.

Lu Jinde's wife took over and asked, "I heard that you are an antique appraisal expert, I don't know who you are trained from?"

"I am a closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao. Meng Zitao felt as if they were checking the household registration, and he was a little unhappy, so he said bluntly: "I'm really sorry, I still have some things to deal with in a while, I don't know if I can bring up the antiques to be identified now?"

Lu Jinde's wife thought that her problem just hit Meng Zitao's sore spot, this Zheng Anzhi is not a famous person at all, anyway, she has never heard of it, and she was about to speak, but she saw that the old man had a straight expression.

Lu Qingpeng showed a slight smile on his face: "It turns out that you are a senior disciple of Zheng Lao, it is really disrespectful." Ade, go and get my few things. ā€

As he spoke, he took out a bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty and asked Meng Zitao to appreciate it, although Meng Zitao said that he was a close disciple of Zheng Anzhi, but he didn't know Zheng Anzhi, who knows if it was true or not, and there should be a test.

Meng Zitao didn't want to be verbose, and directly picked up the bronze mirror.

The Tang Dynasty was an era of high political and economic development, prosperous culture and art, a brilliant era of feudal culture, and the heyday of China's feudal society, especially during the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan periods, when the political climate was relaxed and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Tang culture is broad and profound, comprehensive and brilliant, and unique.

Specifically, the bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty has broken through the Han-style mirror in terms of shape, such as sunflower mirrors, rhombic mirrors, square sub-shaped mirrors, etc. In addition to the traditional patterns of Rui beasts, birds and beasts, portraits, inscriptions, etc., the grape pattern of sea beasts and polo patterns that express Western themes have also been added.

And this is a Rui beast grape pattern mirror, round, Fu Beast button, Fu Beast shape plump, ingenious shape, shoulder draped dense and gorgeous mane, probe stretched out to a pool of water, Rui Beast demeanor depicted clearly, showing a leisurely scene.

This mirror is exquisitely crafted and has a rich and gorgeous style. The subventral perforation is used as a mirror button, and the double-line high convex ridge divides the back of the mirror into two areas. The posture of the six Rui beasts in the inner area is different, or running, or drinking, or sitting upright and perching, the Rui beasts are all very embossed, delicately depicted, the composition is varied, and the mood is different. The plot of the picture is skillfully integrated into the decorative interest, and a good artistic expression effect is achieved.

For the exquisite craftsmanship of this bronze mirror, Meng Zitao is quite admired, but the imitator he admires is superb in craftsmanship, and the aging is also quite in place, I believe that a considerable number of people will not think that this is a fake.

"Mr. Meng, what do you think of this bronze mirror?" Lu Qingpeng looked at Meng Zitao and asked.

Meng Zitao shook his head with some pity: "The craftsmanship of this bronze mirror is undoubtedly quite exquisite, but it is a pity that it is not in the next generation. ā€

"Nonsense......"

Lu Qingpeng glanced at his daughter-in-law, interrupted her, and said, "Please also ask Mr. Meng to solve my doubts." ā€

Meng Zitao explained: "The evolution of bronze mirrors in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into three periods. In the early Tang Dynasty, on the one hand, it inherited the tradition of the Sui Dynasty, and most of them were the Four Divine Mirrors, the Zodiac Mirrors, and the Rui Beast Mirrors; In the Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty, the national characteristics were strengthened, and most of them were flower and bird mirrors, Ruihua mirrors, character story mirrors, dragon mirrors, phoenix mirrors, etc., which meant auspiciousness. ā€

"Judging from the ornamentation, your bronze mirror should have been made in the early Tang Dynasty, but it used the craftsmanship of the late Tang Dynasty, which is definitely wrong. Plus, it doesn't taste right. ā€

"Taste?" Lu Qingpeng was a little surprised.

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "It's the taste, the old bronze mirror generally has a copper fragrance, and the copper fragrance we are talking about is the earthy fragrance after being unearthed." Of course, this taste will change with the time of excavation, but that special charm cannot be changed, and I did not feel this on this bronze mirror. ā€
