After a while, Shi Yulin also hurried over, and the moment he saw the painting, his excitement was beyond words, and he was also quite grateful to Meng Zitao, and he couldn't wait to take the painting back immediately.

Yun Dingsong said with a smile: "You have evidence to prove that this painting is yours, even if you go to a lawsuit, you will not lose." ”

Shi Yulin said a little depressedly: "I won't lose if I lose, but I have to pay for my things back, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

The sale and purchase of stolen goods is strictly prohibited by our law, and even if the buyer buys the stolen goods in good faith, he cannot acquire ownership of the goods. After the owner acquires the ownership of the movable property, the buyer may not demand the return of the property, but can only claim compensation from the owner.

Therefore, if the owner loses possession of his property due to theft or robbery, regardless of how many times the property has changed hands, all persons have the right to request the last possessor to return the original property.

If in the end the buyer is bona fide, a certain amount is also paid. When the owner retrieves the item, he should reimburse the buyer for the loss. Because the buyer paid a certain price for the custody of the thing, and in the end the buyer often took possession of the thing in good faith rather than in bad faith.

Therefore, the owner should reimburse part of the buyer's purchase cost of the item, and at the same time, the owner can claim compensation from the person who sold the item or the mall.

Specific to Shi Yulin, although Song Zhiwei's purpose of buying the painting is not pure, it cannot be confirmed that he knew that it was a stolen painting, so Shi Yulin should compensate Song Zhiwei for his losses, and then go to the merchant to claim compensation, however, the seller is in Xiangjiang, and the probability of compensation is very small.

Yun Dingsong said: "Don't worry about this, the painting was lost here, and I will pay for it." ”

Meng Zitao took over and said: "Actually, I think this painting can be obtained without money, because with the economic strength of the buyer, it is difficult to buy this original painting at the original price, that is, this painting should be purchased at the price of imitation." Moreover, when he buys it, there should be no formal invoice. You can grasp these two points and make an article. ”

China's law also stipulates that only the dirty goods purchased by the buyer from formal channels and auctions need to be compensated, if not, compensation can be waived under normal circumstances.

After being reminded by Meng Zitao, Yun Dingsong and Shi Yulin both felt that there was a lot of room for manipulation, and they couldn't help but be happy again.

Next, Meng Zitao put away the painting, in fact, he did this is already a bit unruly, if according to the procedure, Yun Dingsong and they should go to Shudu to deal with this matter.

And the reason why Meng Zitao did this is also simple, sell them a favor, and then contact Gu Fengzhai's store through them, so that the vigilance over there can also be lowered.

Shi Yulin picked up the teacup and said, "Teacher Meng, I thank you for replacing wine with tea, if you want me to help in the future, please just say it!"

"You're welcome. ”

Meng Zitao drank tea and asked, "I wonder how much you two know about Gu Fengzhai?"

"Are you talking about Tang Yucheng's Gu Fengzhai?" asked Yun Dingsong.

Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes, I have something I want to know through him." ”

Shi Yulin said: "I only know him, and basically don't have any communication. ”

Yun Dingsong said: "I have a good relationship with him, and last week, I also got a blue and white folded branch flower and fruit pattern plum vase from the Qianlong official kiln through him. ”

Meng Zitao's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Yun Lao, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you to give me this plum bottle to admire?"

"That's fine. Speaking of this, Yun Dingsong had some guesses in his heart: "Teacher Meng, is there something wrong with the things that flow out of him?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "I did find a problem with a piece of porcelain, but I don't know if he was accidental or an insider." ”

Seeing Meng Zitao say this, Yun Dingsong hurriedly went to get the plum bottle over.

Generally speaking, the blue and white folded branches and fruit pattern plum vases of the Qianlong period were made in imitation of the blue and white of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. There is such a record in the "Qianlong Chronicle Document": in June of the Wuwu year (that is, 1738), the Imperial Kiln Factory received an order to imitate the burning of "Xuande blue and white three-fruit plum bottle".

Yun Dingsong took the plum bottle style is also like this, the blue and white painting style is fresh, the brushwork is strong, in the modeling, ornamentation, blue and white hair color are imitation of Yongxuan blue and white utensils, especially the depiction of broken branches and fruits, with the painting imitation of the "rust spots", reproduces the Yongxuan blue and white pursuit of nature, the decorative effect of ink and wash meaning.

Overall, the bottle is exquisitely crafted, glazed, and intact, which is not easy.

"Teacher Meng, there should be no problem with this plum bottle, right?" Yun Dingsong asked.

Meng Zitao shook his head slightly: "This imitation Xuande blue and white three-fruit plum vase, from the perspective of style and craftsmanship, should be the characteristics of the early Qianlong period, however, that period inherited the characteristics of Yongzheng Dynasty imitation Ming Yongle Xuande, the performance is gray, dull, not as bright as Yongzheng, but the image is clear, the color is stable. However, the performance of this plum vase in all aspects is as exquisite as that of the Yongzheng period, and it stands to reason that this phenomenon is unlikely. ”

An era has the characteristics of an era, and its works cannot exceed the level of craftsmanship and the influence of the general environment at that time, if you want to say that there are no exceptions, how can there be so many exceptions in this world, and just to be able to encounter it?

Of course, Mencius is not only found in this way, but he also talks about other problems in the work, although they are only small problems, but they are big problems when combined.

"Although this is a high imitation porcelain, its author should not be an ordinary person, the level is very high, the details are in place, it can be said that it has a master-level craftsmanship, but it is a pity that ......"

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao shook his head and sighed.

Shi Yulin also sighed: "A beautiful woman, what a thief!"

As for Yun Dingsong, he didn't care much about the producer, what he cared about was whether Tang Yucheng lied to him, so when Meng Zitao invited him to go to Gufengzhai together, he immediately agreed.

"Teacher Meng, your skills are really amazing, if I didn't see you wearing makeup with my own eyes, I would definitely not recognize you. After getting out of the car, Yun Dingsong said to Meng Zitao with a smile.

"It's just a trail. Meng Zitao smiled, he was also worried that Tang Yucheng would recognize him, so as not to startle the snake.

This time, Meng Zitao just brought Yun Dingsong, and when they were about to walk to the antique shop, Meng Zitao suddenly found that there were four words "closed for processing" posted on the door of the antique shop, which made him very surprised.

Yun Dingsong was also quite surprised: "How can this be, I didn't hear this news from him last week, it can't be so sudden......!

Meng Zitao frowned slightly, could it be that Tang Yucheng learned the news of Song Zhiwei's arrest, and in a hurry, he planned to close his business?

But after thinking about it again, he felt that this possibility should not be high, because this kind of behavior is clearly "there are no silver three hundred taels here".

The two of them sped up a little faster, and then walked into the store and inquired before they understood what was going on, it turned out that the original owner of this shop died of a heart attack, and his children didn't want to rent the store to Tang Yucheng anymore.

Tang Yucheng couldn't find the store temporarily, and his wife also had the idea of closing the store, so in the end, he thought about it and simply closed down.

In addition, the reason why the things in the store were disposed of was because the person receiving the store was not ready to open an antique shop, so he was only willing to take over the store, and he was not interested in the contents of it, and even Tang Yucheng gave a minimum price to package and sell, but the other party refused.

Although Tang Yucheng is mainly engaged in porcelain, other miscellaneous things are also sold, and it is too troublesome to take them back, so he can simply sell them at a low price.

Seeing Yun Dingsong coming in, Tang Yucheng hurriedly greeted him: "Old Yun, why do you have time to come over today?"

When Yun Dingsong saw Tang Yucheng, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but fortunately, he endured it, still with a smile on his face, and said: "I said that the shopkeeper Tang, why are you going to close the door and shut down the business, and you don't know how to notify me!"

"Haha, it's really my fault in this matter, please two of you, let's talk about it later. ”

Yun Dingsong said to his wife who was in the cashier, and then led the two into a small room inside.

poured a cup of tea for the two, and Yun Dingsong poured bitter water: "Hey, I can't help it, I was killed by the landlord, otherwise, how could I close the door!"

"Didn't you increase the price?"

Yun Dingsong smiled bitterly: "The key landlord has added a sky-high price, our small business, if we really want to agree to the rent, then don't eat!"

"Who told you not to sign a contract later. Yun Dingsong said.

"Well, who knew something like this would happen. Yun Dingsong sighed, looking very depressed.

Yun Dingsong asked again: "Then what are you going to do in the future? Are you really not going to open an antique shop? You have also accumulated a lot of customers over the years, and it would be a pity not to do it." ”

Tang Yucheng said with a smile: "I don't open a store, it's not that I don't do antique business. When the time comes, please ask Yun Lao to help!"

Yun Dingsong smiled and said, "It's no problem, as long as you have good goods in your hand." ”

"You can rest assured, give you old things, they must be a high-quality product. ”

It's good that Tang Yucheng doesn't say this kind of thing, but when he said it, he almost made Tang Yucheng scold his mother, Ma sells batches, and they are all high-quality products, you have to be shameless when you speak!

"Is there now? You can't let us run for nothing. Tang Yucheng said with a smile.

Yun Dingsong smiled: "I don't know what you always want, calligraphy and painting works, I don't have anything here, if it is the fine porcelain that was transferred to you last week, I still have one more, I don't know if you are interested." ”

It was really a pillow sent by sleepiness, and Yun Dingsong hurriedly agreed.

So, Tang Yucheng walked to a safe not far away, opened the box not long after, and took out a small garlic bottle from it.

After a while, Meng Zitao saw the original appearance of the porcelain, which should also be in the shape of an antique vessel, but it was Yongzheng's style.

The shape of this vessel is small and chic, the height is only about ten centimeters, it can be described as a small masterpiece, its fetal quality is delicate, the glaze is smooth and clear, the blue and white color is light and elegant, the workmanship is delicate, the shape of the vessel is straight after the Shang Zhou, the painted treasure pattern is comparable to the kiln, it seems to be the ancient masterpiece of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

This device looks very good, but Mencius still found the problem in it, that is, the ornamentation is too vivid.

Some friends may be strange, is it not good to have vivid ornamentation on porcelain? Well, of course, it is good, but this does not conform to the situation at that time, because in the history of porcelain making in the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has always been the main object of porcelain painting with rigid pattern decoration, and the division of labor of the craftsmen of the official kiln is very clear, so the craftsman can not give full play to his own artistic characteristics, the level is limited, and the decoration has a little more ingenuity.

On the other hand, the folk kiln does not have so many restrictions, but can give full play to its own artistic level, but because of the limited materials and technology, the overall comparison with the official kiln works.

In addition, this craftsmanship is also relative, after all, the kiln workers in the official kiln are all top-notch, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is much better than the average person.

To get back to the point, the ornamentation on the porcelain is vivid and natural, and it looks pleasing to the eye, but like the previous porcelain, it is detached from the influence of the general environment, which is a flaw.

After Yun Dingsong appreciated it, his face showed admiration: "It's really a wonderful Yongzheng official kiln, and it's also a small masterpiece, which is quite rare!"

Tang Yucheng smiled: "Yun Lao, I won't tell you, I have hidden this small garlic bottle for many years, and I have never been willing to take it out, if it weren't for you, I would definitely not take it out." ”

"Don't brag!" Yun Dingsong smiled and said, "I like things very much, let's make a price."

"800,000, how about it?" Tang Yucheng immediately gave the price he had already thought of.

Yun Dingsong smiled: "It's still interesting enough for the soup shopkeeper, so let's leave it at that." ”

"Happy, I'll accompany you to swipe your card. ”

Tang Yucheng took Yun Dingsong to check out, while Meng Zitao looked at the things in the store.

Because today is also a low-cost release, so there are many customers in the store, all of whom are choosing their favorite products, and two or three people have made a deal after a while.

In fact, don't look at Tang Yucheng as if he is losing, in fact, a considerable part of the antiques in the store are modern handicrafts, if they are selected by buyers, even if the other party is ruthless enough, Tang Yucheng will make a lot of money.

In addition, antique identification is a very professional thing, some people have strong eyesight, some people have weak eyesight, so the same antique has different values in the hearts of different people.

So even if Tang Yucheng releases the goods at a low price, it is unlikely that he will lose money, and in the end, the consumer will pay.

While Yun Dingsong was checking out over there, Meng Zitao took a look around the store to see if there was anything that could catch his eye.

It's just that there are enough people here today, and many good things have been snatched away, and it is really not easy for Meng Zitao to find a piece that can be seen, and in the end, seeing that Yun Dingsong is almost ready, he simply used his ability directly.

When he noticed a box, he was startled, this is a poplar box, it looks like it has been some years, there is a pair of porcelain in the box, the real is genuine, but they are all folk kilns, the work is okay, but because it is a late Qing Dynasty folk kiln, the value is not high.

However, Meng Zitao found that there was a pair of treasures at the bottom of the box.
