Chapter 176: Getting the Flower God Cup

After a few jokes, Shu Ze thought of something and said, "It stands to reason that since the silk cloth records key information, shouldn't it be carried with you?

Meng Zitao said: "I don't understand this, maybe there was an accident at the beginning." ”

Shu Ze said: "Then where can I find the remaining half of the silk cloth?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "So I said, the next thing is pure luck." ”

"You're the best at luck!" Shu Ze laughed.

Meng Zitao was a little resentful in his heart: "How can I have good luck back, just like this time, I wanted to find the treasure happily, but I didn't expect one accident after another, and I didn't buy the Hibiscus Flower God Cup, you say I'm not unlucky?"

Shu Ze grinned and said, "What is this, you have always been used to it." ”

"Maybe I'm really going too well. ”

Meng Zitao reflected for a while, and immediately adjusted his mood to check the situation of the team member who was bitten by the snake.

Due to the timely treatment and the fact that it was not a highly venomous snake, the wounded were in good condition and would have no problem resting for a few days.

Next, Meng Zitao told Professor Tang the news that he had found the mirror, and Professor Tang was very excited, and after he had breakfast, he mobilized everyone to act quickly and strive for greater gains.

Meng Zitao carpet-bombed the places that had not been searched, and then said goodbye to Professor Tang.

After getting into the car, Shu Ze smiled and said, "I thought you could find that half of the silk cloth." ”

"If only it were so easy, it would be comfortable!"

Meng Zitao leaned back on the chair and asked, "Have you asked Song Mingyan about Tang Yin's landscape painting?"

Shu Ze said: "He took it for appraisal and there is no result, so it should be soon." However, after looking at Song Mingyan's painting, I think it may be a high imitation. ”

Speaking of which, he laughed: "If something really isn't right, it's fun." ”

"What's so fun?" Meng Zitao was a little curious.

Shu Ze said with a smile: "My friend's wife has a younger sister, and the two sisters have been competing since they were children, from clothes, grades, work, and finally to choosing a husband, none of them are indisputable. It's just that my sister is not very lucky, she married a husband and was very good when she got married, but after marriage she went bankrupt because of problems in the investment business. ”

"My friend has a good personality and thinks that it can be regarded as a family in the end, so from time to time I will give my sister-in-law's family a little benefit, convenience, etc., so that they can regroup. I have also seen his wife and sister's family, and I always feel that he is a sanctimonious person, and I have advised him to guard against it before, but he didn't listen to me, and said that I can't see people accurately, and this time I want to see what he says. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't say that, what if people are wrong?"

"Hehe, will you believe it in exchange for you?" Shu Ze said: "I have to ask Song Mingyan to cooperate with this matter and ask him about the origin of that painting." ”

"Will he tell you?"

"Hehe, just by virtue of my identity, do you think he will say it?" Shu Ze smiled proudly: "Speaking of which, you are also stupid, if you use your true face to buy the Flower God Cup, he will not give it to you." ”

"Didn't you think about it, don't reveal your whereabouts? Meng Zitao sighed.

Shu Ze patted Meng Zitao on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, Zhu Zhongshi is also a treacherous and cunning, otherwise he would have been arrested a long time ago, otherwise how could he still let him be at ease now." ”

"It's a pity that I was so discouraged that I just lost an opportunity. ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while and thought, "It seems that the interior still needs to be rectified!"

This time, even the figure under Zhu Zhongshi did not appear, so it is no wonder that Meng Zitao would consider the aspect of a mole within the department.

After eating at noon, the two of them took Qian Rusong to find Song Mingyan.

When I arrived at Song Mingyan's company, I talked to the front desk, and immediately said that a beautiful secretary came downstairs to greet him and brought a group of people to Song Mingyan's office.

At this moment, in Song Mingyan's office, in addition to Song Mingyan, the rhinoceros Yang is also there, of course Meng Zitao has no good impression of this guy, but now that he has recovered his original appearance, he has no general knowledge with him.

Qian Rusong gave an introduction to the two sides, Song Mingyan and Rhino Yang had smiles on their faces and were very enthusiastic, but when they introduced Meng Zitao, both of them invariably felt that Meng Zitao was a little familiar, but they didn't think that Shi Baixing was Meng Zitao, after all, the status difference between the two was too big, and they would not have thought that Meng Zitao would be embarrassed by this.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and Song Mingyan said with a smile: "I don't know what Shu Shao has to do with coming over today? As long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

Shu Ze smiled slightly: "It's very simple, your painting of Tang Yin is still there, right?"

Song Mingyan's smile was a little stiff: "Do you want this painting?"

Shu Ze smiled and said, "If Boss Song can cut his love, it would be great." ”

When Song Mingyan heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Shu Shao, to be honest with you, if you want that painting, I am really reluctant." ”

Shu Ze said: "I know you are reluctant, but it should be okay to ask you a question, right?"

Song Mingyan straightened his face: "What's the problem?"

"The origin of that painting. Shu Ze said.

Song Mingyan was completely relieved, if this kind of thing was asked by others, he would definitely have to weigh it, but Shu Ze would ask it, then there would be no problem.

He smiled and said, "Shu Shao, you are really a coincidence, the owner of that painting was matched by Boss Yang." ”

Rhino Yang took over and said: "The owner of the painting is named Du Ruoyu, who lives in Jinyang, he is also in the antique business, and opened an antique shop in Jinyang Antique City, but he didn't mention the origin of this painting at the beginning, only that there is no problem with the origin of the painting." ”

Shu Ze asked, "Do you have any of his business cards?"

"Yes!" Rhino Yang hurriedly took out his business card and handed it to Shu Ze: "You can keep this business card, if you go to him, as long as you take out this business card, there will be no problem." Generally, as long as it is not too difficult to ask, he will agree. ”

"Thank you then. Shu Ze said with a smile.

Rhino Yang was very happy: "You are polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Shu Ze got the news he wanted, and he was in a good mood, but when he saw Meng Zitao sitting and didn't say anything, he felt a little strange in his heart, didn't he want the Flower God Cup?

When Meng Zitao saw Shu Ze giving him a look, he just smiled in return, suggesting that he didn't need to be in a hurry, so Shu Ze didn't say much.

Considering that Meng Zitao is an insider in the antique circle, Shu Ze and Qian Rusong are also very interested in antiques, and Rhino Yang and Song Mingyan have told some interesting stories in the antique circle, but for Meng Zitao, they are all old-fashioned things, and they don't feel very interesting.

Meng Zitao seized an opportunity, pointed to the bookshelf not far away and said, "Boss Song, there is a set of flower god cups on your bookshelf, right?"

Song Mingyan said with a smile: "It's a flower god cup, but it's all fakes, just as an ornament, if it's genuine, I don't dare to be in the office like this." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and nodded: "Although it is an imitation, I think the quality is quite high, can I appreciate it?"

It's just a first-class imitation, how could Song Mingyan disagree.

So, Meng Zitao walked over, picked up each flower cup one by one and admired it for a while.

After returning to his seat, he smiled and said, "Although this group of flower god cups are all imitations, they are all very well made, and they should be made by masters." ”

Song Mingyan said with a smile: "These are all custom-made by me in the porcelain capital. Speaking of which, I have been admiring the Flower God Cup for a long time, but the blue and white pastel Flower God Cup is too rare, and I have found a Hibiscus Flower God Cup so far, and I can only ask the master to make a set to solve my cravings. ”

"Yes. Meng Zitao said with deep sympathy: "So far, I have only found a total of five blue and white pastel flower cups, and I don't know when I will be able to get a set!"

When Song Mingyan heard this, he immediately changed his mind and said, "The Flower God Cup is so rare, I don't think it will be possible for me to collect a set in my life." Teacher Meng, why don't I transfer the hibiscus cup I collected to you?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Of course I welcome it very much, but as the old saying goes, no merit will be lost, I don't know what Boss Song wants?"

Song Mingyan said sincerely: "Teacher Meng, I have admired your calligraphy for a long time, I wonder if I can have the honor to collect your calligraphy works?"

Meng Zitao guessed everything, but he felt that the exchange was also appropriate, and it was definitely impossible for him to write at no length like before.

Meng Zitao smiled: "As long as you are willing." ”

"I must be willing!" Song Mingyan nodded heavily, for him, the value of a flower god cup is actually limited, but Meng Zitao's calligraphy has a lot of room to rise, and it is estimated that it will be able to go to the next level in a few years, which is much more cost-effective than the flower god cup.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome, but I can't let Boss Song suffer, let's find an expert in the local area together, and then we will evaluate the value of my work, is there a problem?"

Song Mingyan also said yes, so that even if he suffers a loss, he will not lose too much.

Everyone discussed which expert to invite over, and then, Song Mingyan invited everyone to his villa as a guest, and exchanged the two flower god cups with Chen Yi.

Shu Ze didn't want to go to Song Mingyan's villa, not to mention that it was too troublesome, and he would definitely have to socialize if he went, so he said that near Song Mingyan's villa, there was a teahouse with a good environment, and it was a good choice to go there.

Song Mingyan had to agree when he saw this, if he could invite Meng Zitao and Shu Ze to his villa as guests, it would definitely be a great honor, and some of the antiques he collected that he couldn't make up his mind could also ask Meng Zitao to help identify them, but now it seems that there is no way.

Meng Zitao went to buy some rice paper, and then came to the agreed teahouse, they arrived with the front foot, and Song Mingyan arrived with the flower god cup on the back foot.

Meng Zitao first identified the Flower God Cup, which was indeed a real pastel hibiscus Flower God Cup, without any problems.

Meng Zitao pondered for a while, and created a cursive calligraphy work for Song Mingyan, and now he has some bottom of the value of his work in his heart, so he simply creates according to the value of the flower god cup.

When Meng Zitao wrote, the others watched intently, and soon, they were all impressed by Meng Zitao's superb calligraphy level, and they didn't know what words to use to express the emotions in their hearts.

After that, the invited experts also arrived, and when he saw the calligraphy that Meng Zitao had just created, he was simply astonished, and the words of praise were endless, and they were all praised to the sky.

In the end, he told Song Mingyan that he would definitely make a lot of money if he could exchange the Flower God Cup for such a work.

Song Mingyan believed in the judgment of experts, and Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was also seen with his own eyes, he was very satisfied with this transaction and happily agreed.

After separating from Song Mingyan, Meng Zitao and the others were about to go to the restaurant for dinner, and were about to get into the car, when they saw the rhinoceros Yang coming up.

"Teacher Meng, can you take a step to speak?"

Meng Zitao didn't like rhinoceros Yang, and there were no outsiders around, so he said: "Boss Yang, they are all friends, you can just say something directly." ”

Rhino Yang smiled with a hint of flattery: "If I have a flower god cup in my hand, I wonder if I can exchange your calligraphy works?"

Meng Zitao asked, "Do you have a flower god cup in your hand?"

"Not yet. ”

"Then when you have it, contact me again. ”

"Okay. ”

Meng Zitao saw the rhinoceros Yang looking at him with a blank eye, half ringing, understood what he meant, took out his business card and handed it over: "You must confirm the authenticity." ”

Rhino Yang patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, if I take the fake, I will definitely not be able to lose that person." ”

Meng Zitao sneered secretly, if he hadn't seen Rhino Yang's personality, he really thought he was a good person!

When Rhino Yang left, Shu Ze smiled: "This guy has a good calculation, but when this matter spreads, it is estimated that many people will exchange your calligraphy with treasures." ”

"I can't ask for more. ”

"You're not afraid of your calligraphy overflowing!"

"When you say this, it seems that many people will exchange treasures for my calligraphy. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Of course, I won't fill the number indiscriminately, and I will control the number." ”

Shu Ze smiled: "You just have a number in your heart, to be honest, your current calligraphy is really good, write me one day." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I think my level still needs to be honed for a year or two, and then I will write it to you." ”

Shu Ze immediately said: "Don't, maturity has the benefits of maturity, and immaturity also has the benefits of immaturity, and when someone studies your calligraphy works, there will be a comparison, maybe it will be even more rare." ”

Meng Zitao laughed: "You still say that others have good calculations, aren't you too?"

Shu Ze smiled: "It's not human nature. ”

Meng Zitao saw the envy on Qian Rusong's face, and also said that he would give him a piece of calligraphy. Qian Rusong almost jumped out happily, but he definitely couldn't let Meng Zitao give him away for nothing, no matter what, he would also exchange courtesies and let Meng Zitao choose one of his collections.
