After listening to Shu Ze's introduction, Tian Haiqing said: "I also know that it is better to hand it over to professionals, but I don't even know the value of this iron Ruyi now, in case it is just a very ordinary thing, after it is sold, it is not enough to even pay the relevant expenses, so why should I find a professional to deal with it?"

Tian Haiqing's words are also reasonable, in case it is just a few hundred or thousands of yuan, it is definitely not suitable to ask a professional to deal with it. So now it's important to know what this thing is.

Shu Ze turned his head and asked Meng Zitao, "Zitao, have you found anything?"

Meng Zitao pretended to think about it for a while, and then said: "I think the production time of this iron Ruyi is likely to be in the Ming Dynasty. ”

These words stunned everyone, and Tian Haiqing hurriedly asked, "Why the Ming Dynasty?"

Meng Zitao said: "First of all, from the perspective of the shape, this is in line with the shape of Ruyi in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the last two words of the inscription on the lower part of Ruyi can be seen...... This should be the word 'south', the word below is a little vague, but vaguely recognizable, I think it's the word 'star'. ”

Meng Zitao pointed to the words on the Ruyi handle, so that everyone could identify it, and with his prompt, everyone looked more and more like it.

Tian Haiqing was happy but also a little puzzled, and asked: "Even if these two words are 'Nanxing', they can't be evidence of when they were made, right?"

Shu Ze glanced at Tian Haiqing with disdain: "Why are you so stupid, haven't you heard of 'Zhao Nanxing' in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Zhao Nanxing?" (Zhao Nanxing!)" Tian Haiqing and Xiao Zhou's mouths let out exclamations one after another, both of them looked shocked, but one was shocked with excitement and surprise. One was shocked with a little chagrin and regret.

Xiao Zhou's expression caught in his eyes, and Meng Zitao smiled secretly. Noticing the complicated look in Tian Haiqing's wife's eyes again, he also vaguely had a point in his heart.

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "This iron ruyi shape." In line with the characteristics of Zhao Nanxing's iron Ruyi, I don't think it's surprising, it is likely to be one of them. ”

Zhao Nanxing was a politician and writer in the Ming Dynasty. Officials to the Ministry of Officials. Because he led the Donglin dang people to fight to the death with the eunuch Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, he was respected by the world. After the failure of the struggle with Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, he died of illness in Daizhou.

Zhao Nanxing asked someone to make the iron Ruyi, according to legend, the members of Donglin dang each have a handle, and its intention is to prepare to attack Wei Zhongxian, and later generations have a lot of inscriptions on it. Such wishes. Since then, it has been valued by the world and has been a collector's item. There is a detailed record in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" "Prince Chengzhe Yongming Zhao Zhongyi Tie Ruyi".

Tian Haiqing wanted to pass Tie Ruyi, looked at it carefully, and immediately said with a light in his eyes: "If this is Tie Ruyi made by Zhao Nanxing, it should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Shu Ze said with a smile: "Whether it's worth it or not depends on the condition, if the quality is good, it can be worth at least tens of thousands." But, as you look like......"

I learned that this Ruyi is likely to be a famous product. Of course, Tian Haiqing couldn't give up lightly, pointed to the inscription on it and said: "This inscription is wrong silver, it hasn't fallen here, and other inscriptions are likely to have been preserved." As long as the inscription can be preserved, the value should not be low. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Haiqing said a little anxiously: "No. The excavated iron is the most susceptible to rust and must be disposed of as soon as possible. I have to go to Lao Wang and ask him to find someone to help me deal with it. ”

Seeing that Tian Haiqing was leaving. Shu Ze said, "I said Lao Tian, do you want me to run again?"

Tian Haiqing smiled a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this a reason for this?"

Shu Ze waved his hand: "Okay, I'll ask someone to help you deal with it, it's always okay, right?"

As the saying goes, eating people is soft, taking people short, Tian Haiqing was a little hesitant, whether he wanted Shu Ze to help, if he asked Shu Ze to help, the birthday statue would definitely have to be given to Shu Ze, which made him feel a little reluctant.

In fact, Tian Haiqing did not have no intention of transferring the statue of the birthday star, but his statue was carved from the top Khotanese mutton fat white jade, and it was also a fine work carved in the palace office during the Qianlong period.

The materials and carvings are superb, and in this era of national collections, high-quality and Khotanese white jade prices are rising, the potential for appreciation is very large.

Because of this, Tian Haiqing didn't want to transfer the statue now.

But then again, the two seals brought by Shu Ze are also very outstanding in terms of material and carving, especially the celebrity effect, which makes the value-added rate also not low.

Moreover, Shu Ze is a child of the Shu family after all, and he still has to give face, he has shown such sincerity, if he still refuses, then he will really tear his face, and he will definitely be unlucky at that time.

After thinking about it, Tian Haiqing still agreed: "Then it will be troublesome Shu Shao." ”

Seeing that Tian Haiqing agreed, Shu Ze was also quite happy, and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call, and then the group came to the hall.

After changing his clothes, Tian Haiqing said that it was not too early, and in order to celebrate today's unexpected joy, please go to the restaurant for dinner.

However, Shu Ze didn't want to be so troublesome, so he asked Tian Haiqing to cook a few dishes casually and eat them at home.

Seeing that Shu Ze insisted, Tian Haiqing asked his wife to prepare the meal, and he went to take out the statue of the birthday star.

As soon as the statue appears, there is a feeling that is eye-catching. The whole statue is made of high-grade mutton fat white jade, the jade texture is delicate and moisturizing, the oil is good, and there is basically no cracking.

I saw that the birthday star was sitting on the rockery, holding Ruyi with his left hand and the bat boy with his right hand, which means "many sons and many longevity". There are children around who cross their shoulders and pick their ears, and there are people who hold peaches and play between the knees of the elderly. Behind the rockery boy or holding the peach or holding the wish, the scene is funny, the atmosphere is auspicious.

The carving knife method is mainly round carving, high relief, exquisite carving, delicate polishing, the kindness of the birthday star, the childishness of the boy is portrayed vividly and delicately, in line with the craft characteristics of the palace office in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it is one of the wonderful works.

After Shu Ze carefully looked at the birthday portrait, he asked Meng Zitao to identify it, and Meng Zitao also had no problem after seeing it.

Shu Ze put the statue into the box very satisfied, and pushed the box containing the two seals in front of Tian Haiqing: "I'm fine, what do you think, Lao Tian?"

Tian Haiqing smiled heartily: "I also have no problem, then we will cooperate happily!"

"Happy cooperation!" the two smiled and shook hands.

At this time, Meng Zitao noticed that greed flashed in Xiao Zhou's eyes, but perhaps noticing that Meng Zitao was looking at himself, Xiao Zhou hurriedly covered it up by drinking tea.

"Little squirrel. Meng Zitao secretly sneered.

Tian Haiqing's wife is a good hand at cooking, and after a while, the dishes with all the colors and flavors were on the table one by one.

At this time, the professionals contacted by Shu Ze also rushed over, and after he checked it, he gave a good answer to Tian Haiqing.

Then the two sides signed receipts, contracts, etc., and in order to deal with it as soon as possible, the man left in a hurry without even eating.

After the meal, Shu Ze said goodbye and prepared to go back, before getting into the car, Shu Ze said to Tian Haiqing, who came to see him off: "Lao Tian, think about today's things, money is good, but when you think about money, there will always be a time to suffer." ”

Tian Haiqing didn't understand what Shu Ze meant, and asked, "Shu Shao, can you make it clearer?"

Shu Ze smiled: "You think about it yourself, as for whether you want to understand it or not, that's your own business, don't blame me for not reminding you then." ”

After saying that, he got into the car and let the army go, while Tian Haiqing stood stupidly and walked back to the house with a frown until a long time.

When the car started, Meng Zitao asked, "Is Tian Haiqing's wife the original match?"

"Why did you think to ask this?" Shu Ze suddenly said, "You don't mean to say that Tian Haiqing's wife is wrong, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "Whether it's right or not, I can't say for sure, anyway, I think his wife has some strange reactions." ”

"If she had been involved in today's events, there would have been some things that would have been explained. ”

Shu Ze explained with a smile: "Lao Tian's original partner had a stroke seven or eight years ago and has been bedridden, this wife was originally a nanny invited by Tian Haiqing, four years ago, his original partner died, and he married this one after a year." ”

Because of this incident, Lao Tian's children had trouble with him, and since then they have never been in touch, so he simply bought an old house here, demolished and rebuilt. ”

Meng Zitao said, "Do you want to remind him?"

Shu Ze shook his head: "There is no evidence for this, how can you let me remind him? If he can listen to persuasion, he will not break off contact with his children." ”

"Listen to you, you also hate that woman?" Meng Zitao asked.

Shu Ze sneered: "She watches people cook, but Lao Tian eats her set, and he can't listen to it." Anyway, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and if he believes it, he will believe it, and if he doesn't believe it, he will pull it down. ”

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, and Meng Zitao didn't want to be nosy, so he diverted the topic and talked about other things.

…………

Shu Ze has a lot of things, and Meng Zitao also wants to prepare the gift for Zheng Anzhi as soon as possible.

So, the next day, Meng Zitao said goodbye to Shu Ze and went to the hotel near the Confucius Temple where he often stayed and opened a room.

Since it was not a weekend, Meng Zitao settled his luggage and everything, and went to Jinling Antique City to go around, if he couldn't find a suitable one for a while, he asked Song Xiuping to inquire, and he went back to Lingcheng first.

After turning around on the first floor of the antique city, Meng Zitao didn't buy anything he liked, so he went upstairs and walked to Song Xiuping's antique shop.

"Bang!"

After walking a few steps, Meng Zitao suddenly heard the sound of porcelain being broken not far away, and then there was a quarrel.

In the antique market, there was no shortage of spectators to watch the excitement, and for a while, many people around ran to the place of the incident to see the excitement, including Meng Zitao, who was very curious. (To be continued.) )
