Meng Zitao explained all the steps of repairing the bronze mirror clearly, and Zhang Lao nodded again and again, and finally his eyes lit up a little, and he said excitedly: "Xiao Meng, I see that you are so familiar with the restoration of the bronze mirror, you must also have a lot of experience in repairing the bronze artifact, right?"

Meng Zitao waved his hand and said modestly: "I don't have any experience, I just have a little experience in repair, and there is still a long way to go compared to an expert like you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Lao laughed: "It's good for young people to be modest, but it's proud to be too modest. Okay, I won't take up your time now, but we'll talk about that in a moment. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that there was no problem.

Then, Zhang Lao said to everyone: "Let me tell you my opinion, I agree with the explanation of the contestant Meng Zitao just now, and I think he has the ability to answer such a detailed answer on the answer sheet in the assessment just now." ”

Sometimes, a person who is excellent will make people jealous, but to a certain extent, then there is only looking up, although Meng Zitao has not yet reached the point where others look up, but the explanation just now, at least let everyone no longer suspect that Meng Zitao has the possibility of cheating.

On the other side, Zheng Anzhi accompanied several colleagues to watch the situation in the competition hall under supervision, because the competition was too important and was set up to supervise the judges.

One of the gray-haired old men, with envy in his smile, said: "Lao Zheng, your apprentice is really amazing, you can do anything, and you can write a good deed, how much virtue do you have to accumulate in your previous life to have such good luck." ”

Zheng Anzhi smiled a little proudly, and didn't say anything, lest everyone think he was embarrassed.

An old man next to him said: "No, I remember Lao Zheng, you are not proficient in restoration, right?"

Zheng Anzhi generously admitted: "Yes, my apprentice's skill is indeed passed on from others. ”

"Who?" everyone looked at Zheng Anzhi curiously, wanting to find out.

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "The Buddha said that it cannot be said. ”

"Phew. For a moment the boos rang out.

"You keep this kind of thing a secret, it's too petty. ”

"It's not a matter of petty, it's a matter of principle. How can I say it without my apprentice's consent?"

"I said you wouldn't be able to, did that person have any special identity?"

"I won't hide it from you, the other party's identity is indeed quite special. Zheng Anzhi smiled and said in his heart: "Joke, can I tell the Ghost Hand King? If you know, what else will my apprentice have a stable life?"

The Ghost Hand King is the ancestor of the repair craft that Meng Zitao learned, and his repair level can be seen from his nickname.

However, although the Ghost Hand King's repair skills are powerful, it may be because he is worried about his guilt, so he has not been revealed, and no one knows the information of the Ghost Hand King and his heirs for a long time.

Until a few years ago, I don't know how many generations of the Ghost Hand King, because of greed for money, partnered with others to repair antiques, and then bought and sold them as genuine, but because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, they were killed by their accomplices.

In the end, the accomplice was arrested for something else, and only then did he reveal this matter, and everyone knew about the reputation of the Ghost Hand King, and was amazed by the level of repair.

However, the heir of the Ghost Hand King did not leave any detailed information, and only a few people knew about this matter.

At the beginning, the reason why Meng Zitao told Zheng Anzhi about his knowledge of repairing antiques was because he felt that it was too abrupt for him to suddenly know this craft, so he found an opportunity to talk to Zheng Anzhi.

Zheng Anzhi was only a little surprised when he learned about it at the time, but when he read the notes left by Fu Zhengke's father, he was quite shocked and warned Meng Zitao not to tell others where he learned the craft in the future, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.

To get back to the point, since Zheng Anzhi didn't want to say more, everyone didn't ask much after joking, and they all thought that Meng Zitao's repair of bronze should be learned from Zheng Anzhi's friend.

On the other hand, Meng Zitao answered the perfect answer and explained, and the contestants had no objections.

The competition for the second to sixth places was also settled under the research of the judges, and was finally won by five people, including Ren Kexin, the only female contestant.

Meng Zitao comforted the frustrated Lu Dongchen with a few words, and then walked up to the rostrum to receive his award certificate. In addition, there are some procedures to join the association, including an investigation of the winners, to see if the identity is innocent, etc.

The investigation takes time, so Meng Zitao still has a few days to join the association as a trainee. Meng Zitao is not in a hurry, as long as he can do it before he leaves Beijing.

After receiving the award, Meng Zitao went to meet Zheng Anzhi, and then, under the leadership of Zheng Anzhi, he introduced several seniors, and everyone had dinner together.

The game was over, Zheng Anzhi could go home to live, so after dinner and farewell to the seniors, Zheng Anzhi took Meng Zitao back to his residence in the capital.

On the way, Meng Zitao asked about Xia Kaisheng's master and apprentice, Zheng Anzhi told him that there was no result for the time being, and Jiang Haoyan also insisted that he had misunderstood and read it wrongly, but this kind of thing was used to deceive people who did not rhyme with the world, and the investigators would definitely not believe it.

It's just that evidence is needed for conviction, and Xia Kaisheng also has his own connections, so it is definitely impossible to force them to be their master and apprentice, so this matter will be frozen there for the time being.

However, if things are so deadlocked, Jiang Haoyan will be regarded as a stain, and he will never have the opportunity to participate in such a competition in the future.

Zheng Anzhi's home in the capital is also a courtyard house, but this courtyard house is much smaller than Shu Ze's, but the environment is also very good, very quiet, suitable for an old man like Zheng Anzhi to live.

After chatting for a while, the master and apprentice went back to their rooms to rest, and they were going to Zheng Anzhi's friend tomorrow.

The next day, the master and apprentice woke up early and began to practice Tai Chi.

Since Meng Zitao felt that the set of Tai Chi he learned was also very helpful for self-cultivation, he went to teach Zheng Anzhi.

Zheng Anzhi actually knows Taijiquan, he used to practice the old Taijiquan, and he already had some experience, and at that time he felt that it was not necessary to learn Mencius Tao's Taijiquan all the way, and he still learned it under Mencius Tao's soft grinding and hard bubbles.

However, after learning and practicing for a period of time, Zheng Anzhi realized the benefits of this set of Tai Chi, which is very helpful to the body, and the more he practiced, the more he liked it, and now he will practice it indoors even if it is windy and rainy.

Since Zheng Anzhi has been living in Ling City now, he is also empty, so Zheng Anzhi's third son, Zheng Chenghan, usually lives here for work reasons.

After the master and apprentice finished practicing Tai Chi, they saw Zheng Chenghan, who was full of exhaustion, walking in from outside the door, still carrying two boxes in his hands.

"Why is it all night again?" Zheng Anzhi frowned slightly when he saw his son come back.

Zheng Chenghan greeted his father and Meng Zitao, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

Meng Zitao looked at Zheng Chenghan's face, and he also frowned slightly, he walked over and said, "Senior brother, can you let me check it for you?"

Zheng Chenghan was slightly stunned, a little curious: "What to check?"

Meng Zitao said: "Check your body. ”

Zheng Chenghan said indifferently, "Hey, I know my body, okay!

"Zitao has a very high attainment in acupuncture, what does it matter if you let him check it? ”

After all, when it comes to his son's body, Zheng Chenghan is still a little nervous in his heart, not to mention, he knows Meng Zitao's character, if he hadn't found something, he would definitely not say so.

"Okay, then please help me take a look. Zheng Chenghan smiled, since his father had spoken, he definitely couldn't object, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, first, he felt that he was not sick, and on the other hand, he also felt that Meng Zitao was so young, and it was estimated that he only knew a little bit at most.

The group of three walked to the hall, Meng Zitao invited Zheng Chenghan to sit down, and then began to look and ask.

Waiting for Meng Zitao to help him play with his pulse, Zheng Chenghan asked with a smile: "How is it, there is no problem." ”

Meng Zitao said: "There is no problem with the rest, but there is too much liver loss, the liver I am talking about does not only refer to the liver of Western medicine, too much loss will lead to many problems, in the words of Western medicine, you are now in a serious sub-health state." ”

Zheng Chenghan knew about the "sub-health state", and he also knew that he often stayed up late, and his body dealt with the sub-health state normally, but he didn't take it seriously, so he nodded and said: "I feel a little bit about this, so how should I regulate it now?"

Of course, Meng Zitao could see that Zheng Chenghan was disapproving, but this was normal, and it was nothing to him, of course, it was also because Zheng Chenghan was the son of his master, otherwise he wouldn't want to care more.

"If you want to recuperate, it's best if you adjust to your normal work and rest time, which I know you may have a hard time doing, but your body is your own, so I suggest you think about it. In addition, I will prescribe a prescription for you, you drink it for a week, and then I will help you look at it. ”

Zheng Chenghan was a little unhappy: "If you want to drink Chinese medicine, it's very troublesome." ”

Meng Zitao said: "If you feel troublesome, you can go to the pharmacy to decoction and put it in the refrigerator, which is also convenient to drink." Well, I'll do an acupuncture for you now. ”

Zheng Chenghan said with some embarrassment: "This ...... I'm going out soon. ”

"You're going out just now?" Zheng Anzhi was a little dissatisfied.

Meng Zitao took over and said, "Yes, senior brother, you can at least get some sleep." ”

Zheng Chenghan smiled bitterly: "I also want to sleep, but the case waits for no one, I came back mainly to let you help identify the porcelain I brought." ”

"What porcelain?" Zheng Anzhi looked at the box his son brought.

Zheng Chenghan opened the box and said: "One is the Ming Wanli blue and white dragon pattern palace bowl, and the other is the Qing Qianlong pastel spring suburb herding horse drawing pen holder." ”

Meng Zitao took a look at the two pieces of porcelain in the box, both of which were quite exquisite, with the style of the official kiln at that time.

Zheng Anzhi looked away from the box and said, "I'll look at things, but your body is also important, let Zitao help you with acupuncture first, this is an order." ”

Zheng Anzhi said so, how could Zheng Chenghan object, so he reluctantly agreed.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, in fact, my acupuncture will only take ten minutes, and it won't take long, let's start it now." ”

Meng Zitao took out the silver needle to eliminate the poison, and then let Zheng Chenghan lie on the sofa and began to apply the needle, and while the needle was applied, he also studied the two pieces of porcelain.

The blue and white dragon pattern palace bowl is skimming, arced wall, high circle foot, and the shape of the vessel is regular. The bowl is glazed with white glaze, the bowl body is painted with two cloud dragons wearing between the sea of flowers, the dragon is mighty and vigorous, the painting is free and easy, and the blue and white hair color is pure and bright. This dragon bowl shape is regular, the decoration is auspicious, the blue and white are calm and gorgeous, and it seems to belong to the official kiln boutique of the Wanli period.

In addition, the pen holder has a round mouth, straight wall, and is cylindrical. Its outer wall is pastel-painted with a picture of spring suburb herding horses. The distant mountains are heavy and mountainous, stretching gracefully, the willows on the embankment are lightly blowing, the peach blossoms are fresh, and the farmhouse huts are hidden in the middle, and the brilliant and bright spring light makes people linger. In the distance, two horses, in the verdant meadow, either foraging for food, or neighing, can't help but remind people of Wang Pan's poem "Horses neighing through willows". It has a strong poetic feeling.

The artistic conception of the whole picture is exquisite, the layers are clear, the scenery is scattered, the pen is natural and flexible, like an ink painting, the style is fresh, and it has a unique artistic charm, not to mention whether it is a genuine product, but at least a rare masterpiece.

Ten minutes later, Meng Zitao put away the silver needle and said to Zheng Chenghan with a smile: "Senior brother, the acupuncture is already good, you can get up." ”

Zheng Chenghan woke up from a somewhat dazed state, he shook his head, and then said with some surprise: "No, why is the effect of acupuncture so good, I haven't been in such a good state for a long time." ”

Zheng Anzhi said angrily: "Did you still look down on Zitao in your heart before? Let me tell you, only Zitao's acupuncture has such a good effect." ”

Zheng Chenghan was also sincere, admitted it with a smile, and said to Meng Zitao: "Zitao, I am too good to judge, senior brother, I am here to solemnly apologize to you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "Senior brother, don't be so polite, besides, I also know that I am young, and it is normal for you to have such an attitude." ”

"Alright. Zheng Anzhi waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this matter first, let's talk about these two pieces of porcelain, Zitao, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao said: "The dragon pattern of the Ming Dynasty has the characteristics of dignified form, majestic and majestic, horns, hair, beard, eyebrows, hyenas, elbows, hair, all available, the hair is mostly the last flying, the dragon's mouth or open or closed, flexible and free, the dragon's nose is mostly wishful, with a strong auspicious meaning. But this is ......" (To be continued.) )
