Early the next morning, after Mencius got up, he went to practice boxing a few times before going back to wash. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

chatted with He Wanyi on his mobile phone for a while, and learned that the prospective mother-in-law used the medicine she prepared was no big deal, and it is said that even the doctors in the hospital were extremely surprised, and they still wanted the prescription prescribed by Meng Zitao, but of course the He family did not give it to him.

In fact, that prescription is nothing to Meng Zitao, the most important thing is the diluted spiritual liquid, in order to avoid trouble, of course, it is better not to give it.

After breakfast, Meng Zitao chatted with Feng Zhengsheng while waiting for Xu Xinqing to pick him up. But Lou Yu arrived first.

After a few kind words, Lou Yu got down to business: "Brother Feng, I discussed it with my mother yesterday, and I decided not to do the pastry business. ”

"Oh, so what business do you want to do?"

"I want to be in the building materials business. Lou Yu said: "I think so, compared with the pastry business, I still have some experience in the building materials business, and our family still has some connections to help." ”

Feng Zhengsheng nodded and said, "Your idea is very good, you can play to your strengths, but why haven't you thought about it before?"

Lou Yu laughed dryly: "In the end, it's still self-esteem that is doing the trick, I feel that I don't have the face to ask for someone, but now I think about it, it's actually nothing, there are a few people in this world who can do it without asking for people, asking for people without shame, only failure is shameful." ”

Feng Zhengsheng smiled: "That's right, I'm relieved if you think so." How big of a funding gap do you have right now?"

"Two million. ”

"Is that enough?"

"I've calculated it very clearly. Lou Yu pointed to his eye sockets and said, "Look at my two dark circles, they are the 'results' of last night." ”

Feng Zhengsheng said with a smile: "You just have a good idea in your heart, remember to come to me if you encounter trouble in the future." ”

"Trouble Brother Feng. Lou Yu thanked.

"Why are you saying that? Feng Zhengsheng waved his hand, and then asked, "How are you and Xiaoxue?"

Lou Yu smiled: "It's good, I apologized to her." ”

Feng Zhengsheng and Lou Yu were chatting, and Meng Zitao received a call from Xu Xinqing, saying that he had arrived.

Meng Zitao put away the phone, said hello to the two, and went to find Xu Xinqing.

"Brother Feng, I didn't ask yesterday, who is this brother? I don't think I've seen it before. Xu Xinqing asked curiously.

Feng Zhengsheng said: "He is a closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao. ”

Xu Xinqing was surprised: "Ah, then he is not engaged in antiques, how can he still have a hand in curing diseases?"

"He is a genius, a real genius, he will learn anything, in terms of Chinese medicine, I think there are few people in the country who are better than him. ”

Seeing Xu Xinqing's half-believing look, Feng Zhengsheng said: "Don't believe it, my son was cured by him." ”

Xu Xinqing was suddenly a little shocked, it turned out that the miracle doctor who was passed on some time ago was this young man, if it wasn't for Feng Zhengsheng himself, he wouldn't have believed that the protagonist was such a young man.

The words were divided into two ends, Meng Zitao took Xu Xinqing's car to a community, and then, under the leadership of Xu Xinqing, he came to the door of his uncle's house.

Xu Xinqing was about to knock on the door, when he heard a quarrel from inside, although he couldn't hear it clearly, Meng Zitao could still vaguely hear that he was talking about jade pendants or something.

Xu Xinqing hurriedly knocked on the door, and someone immediately came to open the door.

The one who opened the door was an aunt in her fifties, and when she saw that Xu Xinqing was coming, she was immediately overjoyed: "Xiaoqing, you came just in time, your uncle went crazy again, he hid the things himself, and now he can't find them, blame me for losing the things." ”

"It's not you who lost it, otherwise the jade pendant and my good lord are in my pocket, why did it disappear overnight?" Immediately, an old man who looked to be in his sixties walked out and accused his aunt.

The old man and aunt are Xu Xinqing's uncle and aunt, the old man is actually only in his fifties, but because of the blow of being deceived, he is a little depressed, and in just over half a year, he has aged a lot.

The aunt pointed at the old man and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, your thing is your lifeline, I lost it when I was full and had nothing to do, what good is it for me?"

Xu Xinqing took over and said, "Uncle, I also think that it is impossible for my aunt to throw away your things, think about it, did you put it where you didn't remember?"

The aunt said angrily: "Yes, he drank two more cups of cat urine yesterday, he must have drunk something in a corner." ”

The old man scolded angrily: "Fart, how could I make such a mistake. ”

Xu Xinqing motioned to her aunt to stop talking: "Uncle, no matter what, I think the key is to find out the things, and it's not interesting to say these things now, do you say it?" ”

"Hmph!" the old man sneered, and then turned and walked into the house, rummaging around and muttering, "Where will the baby go?"

"He's like that, and I don't know how I fell in love with him when I was younger. Auntie couldn't help but complain.

Xu Xinqing persuaded: "Aunt, don't blame your uncle, he feels bad when he is cheated of money." ”

"That's his own stupidity. The aunt then scolded again: "Those liars are also immoral enough, they specialize in finding older people to deceive, and I want me to say that these people all have to be sentenced to death!"

After scolding a few words, the aunt's mood stabilized a little, and at this time she noticed Meng Zitao and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoqing, who is this little brother?"

Xu Xinqing hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Meng, an expert I invited, who has appeared on our Xijing TV station's treasure appreciation program. ”

I heard that Meng Zitao had appeared on a TV show, although the aunt was still a little surprised by Meng Zitao's age, she was still very polite, and hurriedly invited the two into the living room.

Meng Zitao looked casually, Xu Xinqing's uncle's house is a duplex building, and the area is not small, and the decoration is relatively luxurious.

The aunt poured tea for the two of them, and complained again: "Xiaoqing, your uncle is becoming more and more unreasonable now, suspicious all day long, guarding us like a thief, if this continues, I will be broken by him." ”

Xu Xinqing said: "Auntie, don't worry, I brought Teacher Meng over today to solve this problem." ”

The aunt said: "I didn't say it, you also invited several experts to come over before, how did he listen." ”

Xu Xinqing said: "Teacher Meng is different from others, and my uncle will definitely believe the appraisal results he gave." ”

"Really?" "Really?" The aunt was skeptical, not to mention anything else, I didn't see how polite my husband was to Meng Zitao just now, if it was really like what Xu Xinqing said, why didn't I see my husband say anything.

"It's true, you'll know when you look at it. ”

Seeing that her nephew said this, the aunt put the question in her stomach.

After waiting for a while, Xu Xinqing saw his uncle shuttling through the rooms, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Uncle, do you want me to help you find it." ”

"No...... Ah, found it. Before they could finish speaking, everyone heard a surprise coming.

The aunt suddenly said angrily: "I'll just say it, this old thing, you know that you have wronged people all day long!"

At this time, the old man returned, still holding a small wooden box that was already very old.

Auntie frowned: "What are you doing with a box?" ”

The old man ignored her and said happily: "This box was used by me to store antiques before, and then I have hidden it for several years, and I have forgotten it, and if I hadn't found it this time, I don't know when I would have found it again." ”

The aunt also seems to have some impressions, but the key is not here, she said: "You don't want to tell me that there are antiques in it, right?" ”

"I think there's a jade flower in it. The old man said uncertainly.

"If you open it and see if you have it, you'll know. ”

"Nonsense, if I can open it, it will be until now!"

The aunt stepped forward to take a look and found that there was a lock on the wooden box, which was rusty, and it was not easy to open it.

Xu Xinqing looked at it and expressed his opinion: "This matter is simple, just remove the screws on the lock." ”

The couple saw that this was really the case, and the aunt hurriedly went to find a starter, and then with Xu Xinqing's efforts, the upper part of the lock was removed.

Open the box, only to see that there is a piece of red cloth inside, open the red cloth, and see that there are two carved pieces inside, one is relatively large, nearly 18 centimeters high, the shape of the instrument, it should be a flower arrangement, the carving is extremely exquisite.

Xu Xinqing was very surprised when he saw this flower arrangement: "This seems to be carved with southern red agate." “

"It's really Nanhong?!" The old man was a little incredulous and a little excited: "I didn't expect that I still have such a treasure in my hand!"

Those who are familiar with Nanhong know that it is the most precious variety in the agate family, and it is highly prized for its bright red color and depleted resources. Now the old Nanhong is very rare, and the value of such a large piece of Nanhong flower arrangement can be imagined, and it is normal for the old man to be excited.

"You didn't know you bought it yourself!" said the aunt angrily.

The old man showed a rare and strange look: "I only thought it was made of red agate, otherwise, how could it have been placed in this box all the time." ”

Xu Xinqing looked at it briefly and said: "Xu Xiake in the Ming Dynasty once had such a record of it, 'There are many dangerous cliffs, vine trees are upside down, and cliffs are chiseled with stones, and agate is embedded in them. Its color is white and red, all of which are not very big, only like a fist, and this is also a vine. Then go deeper, between the melon place, as big as the rise, round like a ball, in the suspension for the down, not sticky to the stone, there is water in the tang, its crystal firm, different from the vine, this agate above the product, can not be sudden, its often accumulated and the market in the person, are chiseled vines also. This is the most accurate summary of the characteristics of Nanhong agate stone, so the material of this flower arrangement is undoubtedly old Nanhong. Mr. Meng, what do you think?"

"I'll take a look before I speak. ”

Meng Zitao wants to appreciate the flower arrangement, only to see that the flower arrangement is carved by the whole agate skillful color, with Ganoderma lucidum as the theme, using deep relief and openwork expression, the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, the boredom is evenly clean, the color of the skillfully carved part is ruddy, and the natural color of the material itself is skillfully used, and the red and white ornamentation is carved with the help of the natural color of the material itself, which is very beautiful. Ganoderma lucidum has been an auspicious grass since ancient times, and ruyi and auspiciousness are derived from the shape of Ganoderma lucidum.

In the process of Meng Zitao's observation, the old man asked Xu Xinqing: "Xiaoqing, who is this young man, why do I feel a little familiar." ”

Xu Xinqing said: "Didn't I say it just now, Mr. Meng, is the one you have been talking about some time ago." ”

"Ah!" the old man exclaimed, and the more he looked at Meng Zitao, the more he looked like the one on TV (it was originally a person).

The old man exclaimed, which made Meng Zitao come back to his senses and look at the old man.

The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Meng Zitao, and shook it vigorously: "Teacher Meng, I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize you just now, I'm very sorry." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it was okay, and said jokingly: "Mr. Yin, don't shake it anymore, if you break something, I won't be responsible." ”

"I'm sorry!" the old man smiled and withdrew his hand, and then asked, "Teacher Meng, is there really no problem with my flower arrangement?"

"Of course, there is no problem, I think it is not only made of Nanhong agate, but also the work of the palace office during the Qianlong period. ”

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "The reason why I say this is because in the Qing Dynasty court study utensils, although the shape of the flower arrangement is varied, it is mainly natural and realistic, and the materials are also relatively extensive, and this flower arrangement also reflects this characteristic." ”

"In addition, during the Qianlong period, all craft paintings emphasized that 'the picture must be intentional, and the meaning must be auspicious', and the same is true for this bottle. The craftsman embodies the beauty of Nanhong to the fullest, its color is bright and pure, its quality is introverted, and its shape is warm and delicate. Baoguang emerges, red and glamorous, extraordinary bearing, no matter the process, techniques are called the top grade, obvious characteristics of the times. ”

Seeing Meng Zitao say this, the old man's happy mouth couldn't close.

Auntie's attention was not on this, and asked, "Expert, how much can this thing be worth?"

The old man immediately blew his beard and glared: "What do you say, can such a treasure still be sold!"

The aunt was not afraid of him, and went back: "The pot is almost impossible to open at home, and it can still be eaten if it is not sold!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Xu Xinqing hurriedly said: "Uncle, I think whether to sell or not is secondary, the value still needs to be known, at least you can know it in your heart, you say yes?"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "I have to trouble Mr. Meng to help estimate the price." ”

"No hassle. Meng Zitao waved his hand, and then said: "There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of this flower arrangement, and the material is also very good, with the current market situation, I think it is worth about 400,000 yuan." ”

Hearing that such a thing can be worth 400,000 yuan, the aunt immediately smiled, and the old man couldn't help but be overjoyed, his reaction was to immediately take the thing to his side and protect it.

"I warn you, don't beat my baby's idea. ”

Auntie was angry: "You old immortal, why don't you think about my feelings." ”

Xu Xinqing had to start persuading again, and it took a while to turn his attention: "Uncle, haven't you always wanted to identify your treasure again?"
