Chapter 186: Pairs of Jade Pendants
As the saying goes, take people softly, eat people softly, Meng Zitao really didn't want to have any contact with middle-aged people, but he was very curious about what the other party brought this time.
The middle-aged man said a good word, and then opened the box in front of everyone, only to see that there was a blue and white plate inside: "Teacher Meng, this is my collection of blue and white plates from Wanli official kiln, see if you like it or not." ”
Meng Zitao took it in his hand and looked at it and asked, "Are you sure this is the Wanli official kiln?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and said in horror: "Isn't this Wanli official kiln? It shouldn't be wrong, things look old, and I asked a friend to identify it." ”
"Do you see that this payment belongs to the Wanli official kiln?" Meng Zitao pointed to the handwriting on it.
The middle-aged man craned his neck to look at it, and asked with some hesitation, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know what Imari porcelain is?"
Shu Ze next to him was very happy, even he could see what kind of porcelain this was, the middle-aged man actually looked ignorant, if he didn't really know, he was acting.
"What? And this kind of porcelain?" the middle-aged man looked stunned.
Meng Zitao didn't know what to say, and immediately wanted to send him away: "Okay, you better go back and see more." ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Meng, I really don't know what Imari porcelain is, if it's convenient for you, can you explain it." ”
Meng Zitao said lightly: "This is a kind of porcelain made by the Dongying people, and you can check the other characteristics yourself." ”
Speaking of which, Imari porcelain is still quite famous, and those who are generally familiar with porcelain will not know this type of porcelain.
At the end of the 17th century, due to domestic instability, the output of porcelain in the porcelain capital decreased sharply, unable to meet the needs of exports, Dongying had been relying on imported Chinese porcelain, and the Dutch also needed to resell Chinese porcelain to Europe.
Finally, in the 17th century, he fired his own porcelain in the Arita area, and since then, he has relied on the export of Chinese porcelain and imitation porcelain from the Shanzhai Chinese porcelain, and then also produced a part of it for the domestic supply of Dongying. Because they are all exported from Imari Port, they are called Imari porcelain.
Although this kind of porcelain has characteristics, due to the quality of porcelain clay and the limited level of craftsmanship, the porcelain plates produced by Dongying are "collapsed", that is, the bottom collapses, and then they use nails to make up for technical defects. Therefore, it is easy to see a lot of nail marks on porcelain.
And "success is also Xiao He defeat is also Xiao He", Kangxi reopened the sea ban in 22 years, and the Dutch East India Company began to import porcelain from China again.
As a result, Huaxia porcelain is made according to the style of Imari porcelain, whether it is fetal quality, glaze, painting, etc., everything is more than the local Imari porcelain of Dongying, and European orders have continued to come to China, and since then Huaxia has invented new varieties such as pastel, style renovation, high quality, European demand for Huaxia porcelain is greater, and there is no need for Dongying style, Dongying's Imari porcelain has since declined.
It is not difficult to see from this that as long as there is civil strife in China, there will be outsiders who will take advantage of the fire and take advantage of it, and the people at home will still suffer, so everyone must cherish a peaceful life.
Getting back to the point, I heard that it was porcelain imitated by the Dongying people, and the middle-aged people were about to cry, and they apologized to Meng Zitao one by one, complaining that they shouldn't trust their friend Yunyun.
Shu Ze felt upset when he saw him like this, and said, "Who knows if what you said is true or false, maybe it was deliberately acted." ”
The middle-aged man immediately shouted for himself: "If I lie to you, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!"
Shu Ze smiled: "What's the use of swearing, just show a little sincerity, don't always bring some crooked melons and cracked dates!"
The middle-aged man straightened his face: "Teacher Meng, whether you believe it or not, I swear to God, I really didn't lie to you!"
As he spoke, he touched it from his pocket and took out a jade pendant: "This is the jade pendant I have carried with me for many years, I will give it to you, if there is any more problems, I will jump from the upper floor." ”
"But don't, if we spread the word, we will become murdered for money. Shu Ze sneered.
When Meng Zitao saw this jade pendant, he couldn't help but be very surprised, because it had exactly the same features as the three-linked jade pendant he got at the beginning, except that it was not carved with three rings on the back, but seven stars. In addition, the jade pendant is also engraved with the words "Seven Star Serial Display".
Seeing this jade pendant, Meng Zitao's heart was hot, maybe he could solve the puzzle by mistake with this jade pendant, thinking that he might find the secret of immortality, he couldn't help but get excited.
Fortunately, Meng Zitao has met more now, as the old saying goes, "The one who walks a hundred miles is half ninety you", it is useless to be happy now, it is better to wait for the results to talk about other things.
Meng Zitao hid his emotions, raised his head, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw a hint of joy flashing in the middle-aged man's eyes.
Originally, Meng Zitao really thought that the middle-aged man was not good-looking, but now it seems that, as Shu Ze said, he is likely to act.
"This jade pendant is kind of interesting. Meng Zitao said with a smile: "But well, if you want to give it for nothing, forget it, and make a price." ”
"How can this be, I really give it to Teacher Meng. The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
Meng Zitao refused: "If you want to say that, please take that thing back." ”
The middle-aged man saw that Meng Zitao was resolute, and he could only offer a low price, and when Meng Zitao agreed, he was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that Meng Zitao was really a fool.
…………
The treasure appraisal conference is about to kick off in Jinling, and the antique associations of the cities have decided through consultation that if the treasure appraisal conference is done well, it will be held once a year, and even players from other provinces can be accepted to participate, of course, all this is based on the success of this conference.
In order to promote the culture of the province, the provincial TV station also organized a capable force, saying that it would show the most brilliant side of the treasure appraisal conference to the audience across the country.
The prize money for the winner of this tournament is as high as 1 million, so once it was publicized, it attracted the attention of antique lovers, and the public continued to speculate who would win the championship.
The day before the start of the conference, Meng Zitao participated in the dinner organized by Shu Ze, and at the dinner table, in addition to Shu Ze, two middle-aged people who looked like bosses, a beautiful lady, and two appraisal experts.
Through Shu Ze's introduction, Meng Zitao learned that the middle-aged man was Qian Qingyun, the big boss of Jinling Yiyage. Yi Ya Ge is one of the top antique shops in Jinling, specializing in the calligraphy and painting business, it is said that they are all works with names and surnames, and the price is certainly not low, so Meng Zitao has not been there.
Qian Qingyun is also wealthy, and the prize money of this treasure appreciation conference was sponsored by him.
The lady sitting next to Qian Qingyun is Qian Lele, the host of the provincial TV station, and she presided over this year's treasure appreciation conference. Judging from the somewhat similar appearances of her and Qian Qingyun, as well as the surnames of the two, Meng Zitao guessed that they should be related.
The fact is also that Qian Lele is Qian Qingyun's niece.
The other two appraisal experts at the dinner table were brought by Qian Qingyun, who were the palm masters in his shop, and they were still well-known in the province.
As for the other middle-aged man, it was Shu Ze's friend Guo Xiaocong, who had talked to Shu Ze about business before, and Shu Ze brought him here, and he was also an antique lover.
After Shu Ze's introduction, Qian Qingyun and Meng Zitao shook hands: "I've heard your name a long time ago, I wonder if there is a chance to communicate?"
Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "Wait for the treasure appraisal conference to pass, so as not to be misunderstood." ”
Qian Qingyun waved his hand: "I didn't participate in the preparations for the treasure appreciation conference. ”
Guo Xiaocong was a little surprised: "Mr. Qian provided a huge bonus for the treasure appreciation conference, why don't you participate in the preparation of the conference?"
Qian Qingyun said with a smile: "Professional matters should be handled by professionals, and I am very satisfied that I can contribute to the conference." ”
Shu Ze said with a smile: "I think he is afraid of trouble and wants to be lazy." ”
Qian Qingyun laughed and said, "Those who know me, Shu Shaoye!"
Guo Xiaocong smiled, and then asked: "I don't know how many experts were invited to comment on this conference? I heard that Ren Anjian and Ren Lao are also one of the judges?"
Qian Qingyun nodded and said, "Elder Ren is indeed one of the judges. ”
Shu Ze took over and said, "This old man is too arrogant, how can he be invited to be a judge?"
Qian Qingyun smiled: "Ren Lao's personality is indeed a little special, but his professional level is not bad, and he is the patriarch of the Jinling Antique Association after all, he said that he can't refuse to participate." ”
Shu Ze turned his head to Meng Zitao and said, "Zitao, you are in some trouble this time, I heard that Old Man Ren is very unaccustomed to you." ”
Meng Zitao felt a little strange: "I have no grievances with him, why should he look down on me?"
Shu Ze smiled: "Actually, the reason is very simple, someone used your calligraphy to stimulate him and make him very uncomfortable." ”
Meng Zitao said: "This person can't be you, right?"
"That's not it. Shu Ze smiled: "It's my cousin." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head.
Qian Qingyun said with a smile: "Ren Lao is actually an old child, and he can't mess around. I believe that with Mr. Meng's skills, he can definitely make a splash at the conference, and it is completely easy to win the championship. ”
Meng Zitao hurriedly humbled himself: "As the old saying goes, there are people outside the world, and money always sets a huge bonus, I believe that there will be many masters involved, and in the end, who can win the championship will only be known." Moreover, if it weren't for the strength to win the conference, I wouldn't have the face to see the elders of Jiangdong. ”
Guo Xiaocong smiled: "Okay, I appreciate Mr. Meng's self-confidence, in order to celebrate in advance that Mr. Meng can win the championship in the competition, let's have a toast!"
Everyone got up and had a drink, and the atmosphere became lively, because of the identities of Meng Zitao and Qian Qingyun, everyone tacitly agreed, and no one talked about the game anymore. 2k reading web
