Chapter 704: Family Matters

At this time, I heard the middle-aged woman muttering, "Who told him not to coordinate some things in front of him?"

Dong Lao's eldest daughter, Dong Juan, immediately became angry: "Xie Huizhen, you still say such things now, you still have to be ashamed!"

Xie Huizhen said indifferently: "If you want face, give me those antiques." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Meng Zitao next to him was speechless when he heard this, this is the realistic version of the shameless person, invincible in the world, and he dared to say this in front of the old man's posthumous photo.

Dong Juan saw that Xie Huizhen was so shameless, her face turned red, and she trembled with anger: "I shouldn't have said good things for the two of you in front of my dad in the first place!"

It's okay that Dong Juan didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Xie Huizhen also turned into a fried cat, and said in a loud voice:

"If I hadn't been pregnant, you would have thought I wanted to marry into your Dong family! It seems that your Dong family is a big family, like a two-five-eight, and has always looked down on me, if it weren't for the fact that we are rich in business now, which of your eyes will look at us!"

Meng Zitao listened to this conversation, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and a thing can't just look at the appearance, it is very likely that there is another hidden story inside.

At this time, the husbands of both sides stood up and persuaded their respective wives, and in the end, there were outsiders present, although they were still quite angry, but they still endured it.

At this time, Ji Chenghe spoke: "Why are you arguing?

"Yes," Dong Juan said.

Nowadays, many people have joined the army of collecting, and many people have achieved success but neglected the inheritance of the collection. A person's life is limited and life is short, so we should pay attention to the inheritance of the collection when it is "good times and good times". However, many collectors are not aware that a person can die at any time during their lifetime, not to mention the death of a man who is irresistible to natural and man-made disasters, and there are too many cases of sudden death due to illness.

The doorway of collecting, may be because relatives are not interested, so collectors will not talk much in ordinary life, and it is precisely because they usually do not pay attention to explain the basic knowledge of collections to relatives, do not talk about the value of collections, once passed away, resulting in a lifetime or half a lifetime of painstaking efforts to accumulate the wealth of collections, is wrongly treated as waste, such examples abound.

It is said that Meng Zitao heard Wang Zhixuan tell about his friend before, because his friend lived in a high-rise, some collections were inconvenient to carry and store, so he stored the utensils in many friends' homes.

After that, he suddenly fell ill, and his family did not react, and he stopped breathing. Due to the suddenness of the incident, his wife could only ask around where his belongings were stored, but there was no clue at all, and at least millions of assets were lost.

Also, a friend of Zheng Anzhi, who collected hundreds of ancient porcelain, four treasures of the study and other objects during his lifetime, also died suddenly, but because he was a lonely old man, several of his brothers and sisters handled the aftermath, and finally snatched up those collections, and even the collections stored in the bank safe are missing.

Whenever he thinks of this incident, Zheng Anzhi feels embarrassed.

Obviously, because of the sudden death of the old man, this is also the case with the family.

However, when Mencius continued to listen, he found that things did not seem to be quite the same.

Just listen to Ji Chenghe said: "As far as I know, Lao Dong should have had a will before his death." ”

Dong Juan said: "He did have a will, saying that except for two-thirds of his collection, we can divide it equally, and the rest will be donated to the museum, I have no problem with this, but she just doesn't agree." ”

Xie Huizhen said: "I opposed this matter before the old man's death, why should the collections he once put in energy and financial resources to find be donated?"

Generally speaking, there are several ways to choose from inheritance collections today, one is to donate to national cultural and museum units, the other is to pass on to spouses and direct children, and the third is to give them to relatives and friends. Now there are basically very few first cases, and they are basically all reasons for holding Xie Huizhen.

Finally, there is another way, Meng Zitao feels that this is the best way to inherit the collection, that is, after the collector's collection is sorted out, packaged, and introduced by text, the owner who is actively looking for a suitable venue will cooperate with him, display the exquisite collection to the society, and use the ticket income to maintain the museum.

In this way, it not only gives full play to the role of the collection in serving the society, but also makes the collection perfectly preserved, so that the collection culture can be carried forward, and also adds scenic spots to the local urban culture, and at the same time provides a good place for the masses to enjoy leisure culture. Why not?

Ji Chenghe said: "Let me say more, after all, this matter is your father-in-law's wish, and it is also protected by the law, so it's not good for you to refuse like this, right?"

Xie Huizhen's performance was unreasonable: "Hmph! I just don't agree, they have the ability to collect it!"

Dong Juan said: "Let's see, she is such a person, she is too selfish, besides, what does this matter have to do with one of your daughters-in-law?"

Xie Huizhen sneered: "Dong Changwei, you say, does it have anything to do with me?"

Dong Changwei looked very embarrassed, and said that it had something to do with it, according to his daughter-in-law's statement, he was not going to do it according to his father's will, for him, this was unfilial piety, but if it didn't matter, it would be sad in the future.

Seeing that her husband was silent for a long time, Xie Huizhen slapped him on the arm: "You are talking!"

Dong Changwei gritted his teeth and said, "I still think it's okay to follow my father's will." ”

Xie Huizhen was stunned, gritted her teeth and said: "Wow, Dong Changwei, I have paid so much for you all these years, at this juncture, you are actually backwater, good, good!"

Dong Changwei hurriedly said: "Huizhen, my father has left a lot of collections, we can divide thirty or forty pieces, which is already a lot." ”

Xie Huizhen didn't listen at all: "Don't say it, I'll tell you, I'll give you two choices today, either choose me, or choose Lao Tzu who you went to the Netherworld." ”

Dong Changwei persuaded with kind words: "Huizhen, don't be like this, I haven't asked my father to pay anything in my life, you just let me go back." ”

"Okay!" Xie Huizhen raised her hand and said, "I know your choice, let's divorce!"

Dong Changwei's face also fell: "You said divorce?"

"Yes, divorce!" Xie Huizhen said categorically.

"Okay, then let's get a divorce!" Dong Changwei's reaction was unusually calm.

This reaction made Xie Huizhen stunned again, and immediately she came back to her senses, pointed at Dong Changwei's nose and scolded angrily: "Dong Changwei, are you relying on the support of your inheritance, you dislike me for wanting to find other people, you don't want to think about how much I have paid for you, you stinky and shameless Chen Shimei!"

As she spoke, Xie Huizhen scratched Dong Changwei's face fiercely.

Dong Changwei screamed in pain, and pushed Xie Huizhen out, Xie Huizhen staggered back a few steps, if it weren't for the wall behind her, maybe she would have fallen to the ground this time.

Immediately, I heard Dong Changwei roar angrily: "Yes! You have indeed paid a lot for your family, but I haven't paid it? You have quit smoking, smoking, drinking, drinking, and you used to give you every month's salary, but now you only have 100 yuan of pocket money every month for business, and you can't even afford to invite friends.

"To tell you the truth, I'm almost unable to live this day, if you want a divorce, then leave! I can't wait to leave immediately! If you don't leave, you'll be raised by a bitch!"

After listening to Dong Changwei's accusation, let alone Meng Zitao, an outsider, even my sister Dong Juan's family was shocked, what years have they been, and they are in business, and they only have 100 yuan of pocket money every month, and no one else believes it!

But from another point of view, Meng Zitao felt that Dong Changwei's friends were real friends, otherwise, there would definitely be opinions in this case.

In other words, some people's tempers are used to it, just like Xie Huizhen, she also knows that she has done too much, but Dong Changwei has always been obedient before, so she has intensified, and now that honest people have suddenly exploded, she doesn't know what to do.

Looking at Xie Huizhen, who was in retreat, Dong Juan was also happy in her heart, but then again, although Xie Huizhen has such and such problems, she is really good at running a family, and she has also educated excellent children, as long as Xie Huizhen can change her temper, she is still quite virtuous.

Although divorce is nothing now, but he is not young anymore, and it is not easy for Dong Changwei to find a suitable one, rather than this, it is better to hope that Xie Huizhen can change her temper, if she really can't change it.

Dong Juan said: "Changwei, let's get rid of your anger first, you are not too young, and the children are so old, even if you really want to divorce, you have to ask his opinion, right?"

Listening to his sister talk about the child, Dong Changwei's mood suddenly calmed down, but he still refused to accept and said: "Then call Jiajia now, I believe he will agree with my idea." ”

"I'll talk about this later, while Uncle Ji is here, let's solve the problem of Dad's collection first, you're not"

Dong Changwei helped Meng Zitao move a table, put it in front of him, moved a chair and invited him to sit down, and arranged for someone to serve tea and water, Meng Zitao sat down, identified them one by one, and even needed a brief comment, which made everyone look at Meng Zitao's eyes even more admired, but they knew that their old man had only practiced the art of identification at a very late age.

In fact, even Zi Chu has the ability to identify most of the antiques, but because the Dong family does not trust, Meng Zitao can only go into battle alone.

"This is a painting by Mo Yuguan, a well-known young painter in China, you see the line outline, the reversal between the ink, are extremely skillful, in my opinion, this young painter has a lot of room for growth in the future, can be contained. ”

"And how much is this painting worth?"

"It's about seven or eight thousand, and when I collect the works of young painters, I still value the potential, not how much it is worth now, but how much it may be worth in the future. Now there are many well-known collectors, who specialize in the collection of modern and contemporary paintings, and they take a fancy to the painter, so they look at the market and collect, and the advantage of this is obvious, and in the future, if the painter is famous, then the painting will be very valuable, and all this investment will be worth it. In my opinion, Mo Yuguan is such a painter with great potential. ”

"What about this porcelain?"

"This is a Qianlong official kiln imitation Jun kiln glazed plum bottle, this is the official kiln in the fine porcelain, extremely rare. ”

"So, how much is it worth?"

"You were born in a family of collectors, and you have been influenced by Dong Lao since childhood, so you must also understand the value of this. ”

"How much is it worth?"

Meng Zitao stretched out two fingers, "Two million." ”

……

Meng Zitao carefully identified and explained more carefully.

According to Ji Chenghe, Dong Lao had a very high eyesight before his death, and generally did not mix fakes in his collections, but tigers have naps, which are inevitably mixed with some fakes.

However, these fakes are often well-made, but they can be remarkable, and I don't know whether Dong Lao deliberately bought them as a reference or as a collection, after all, they can be regarded as antiques after a hundred years.

It wasn't until just before dinner that Mencius finally finished identifying all the antiques.

The Dong family pulled Meng Zitao and Ji Chenghe and wanted to invite them to dinner, but the two did not make much excuses.

However, before leaving, Meng Zitao had to discuss the matter.

"Several, that's the case, I'll introduce myself again, appraisal is just my side business, in fact, I am in the antique business, there is an auction house under my name, I don't know, do you need to take some collections out as an exchange?"

"If you are interested in making a move, you can say it, and our auction house will definitely give you a reasonable price. Meng Zitao said to the Dong family.

Dong Changwei was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, he should have thought that this would be the case, otherwise how would people help them to appraise it for free? For the sake of the face of the deceased old man Wang? I have never seen the old man, how can people be afraid of this.

Everyone was also surprised, but the reaction was that there was not much rejection, which was also Meng Zitao's strategy, if Meng Zitao said his identity early on, then everyone would be rejected when they looked at him, just like an insurance salesman every time he introduced his identity, he would receive a strange look.

Meng Zitao first portrayed himself as a senior appraisal expert, and then mentioned that he was a senior researcher in the Forbidden City, the identities of the two made everyone not think much about it, even if they talked about the auction, everyone accepted it.

Dong Changwei was stunned for a moment and said, "We still have to think about this matter and then give you an answer." ”

As soon as Dong Changwei said this, Meng Zitao immediately followed: "Mr. Dong, you don't have to worry too much about the auction, our auction company has organized a number of successful auctions, and everyone's collection will definitely get a satisfactory price, if you are interested, please sign up now." ”
