Chapter 182: Unexpected Joy

Meng Zitao has also seen on the Internet before that some people do choose to break up because they like life in the metropolis, but when he heard it with his own ears that the other party left his two-year relationship behind for this reason, he still felt that it was really unimaginable, and such an act was inevitably too ruthless.

After being silent for a moment, Meng Zitao patted Meng Hongchang on the shoulder and said: "As the old saying goes, there is no grass at the end of the world, and I don't think it's worth it at all to be sad for this kind of person." ”

Meng Hongchang said with a smile: "It's okay, I just think my vision is too bad, I actually fell in love with such a person, and I have paid so much for her, thinking about what I have done in the past two years, I feel that I am really stupid." ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while and asked, "When you got along with her in the past two years, were you happy?"

Meng Hongchang's words blurted out: "Of course happy, if being with her is full of pain, then why am I with her?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "In this case, you can change your mind and pay for these two years, just in exchange for two years of happy time." ”

"Uh......" Meng Hongchang was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "According to what you say, I am indeed much more comfortable in my heart." ”

Speaking of this, he looked Meng Zitao up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are quite good at persuading in this regard, do you have any experience!"

Meng Zitao laughed: "What you said is so funny, I don't believe you can ask my parents, when have I ever been in love, but I have read too many jokes on the Internet." If you don't say it, you will say it. ”

"Really, why do I think you're a little nervous?" Meng Hongchang laughed teasingly.

"Cut. What am I nervous about?" Meng Zitao showed disdain.

Meng Hongchang smiled: "Hehe, I'll go to verify this." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease: "Whatever you want." Just go and find out. ”

Knowing that Meng Zitao was a little thin-skinned in this regard, Meng Hongchang didn't say much, he took a sip of tea, looked at the antiques on the shelves around him, thought of something, took out a pendant from his pocket, and put it in front of Meng Zitao.

"You can help me see what this thing is made of. ”

When Meng Zitao saw that it was a white jade Guanyin pendant, he asked, "Why did you go to the antique market again?"

Meng Hongchang said: "I'm not that stupid. This was bought at a stall when I accompanied her to Panjiayuan in the past. ”

Meng Zitao took the pendant in his hand, and saw that this instrument was made of white jade, calm and solemn, and the materials were good. The expression of the Guanyin statue is loving, which makes people feel calm, and at a glance you know that it is the hand of a skilled craftsman.

"Things like Guanyin, Buddha statues, you should say 'please', how much do you pay for this Guanyin pendant?"

"It turns out that there is still this statement. I see. ”

Meng Hongchang nodded, and then said: "380, the boss asked me for 18,000 at the beginning, and he said that the processing technology was different. Some are polished, some are matte, and all are mutton fat jade. This is made of the finest mutton fat jade. Ten thousand is very cheap. ”

"I laughed when I heard it, where I bought things. It's just a small stall, if it's really mutton fat jade. I told him at the time, don't fool me, this must be made by Qing Hailiu, and finally he sold it to me for 380. ”

Meng Zitao heard this, and also laughed, in the antique market, there are many jade bosses who like to fool around, and will tell customers what they just said, but this kind of words will also deceive laymen, for insiders, "Good jade is not polished, good jade is not dyed." ”

Polished and waxed jade can completely hide the flaws of jade, making the jade look more beautiful, oily, delicate, and more like Khotanese jade.

Therefore, when people in the industry see polished and waxed jade, they will stay away. The reason is obvious, since it is a good jade, what is the reason why you polish it with wax and make it like green sea material and Khotanese jade?

Meng Zitao looked at the pendant in his hand and asked with interest: "Since the boss has given you all the green and sea materials, what else do you show me?"

Meng Hongchang said: "Didn't I give her the pendant, when I broke up, she returned it to me, saying that it was not rare or something, but in fact, it was just cheap...... I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I came back, I was bored, so I took it out and studied it. ”

"However, the more I look at it, the more I think the material of this pendant is too good, and it gives people a very warm feeling, not like green sea material at all, after I went home, I went to the Internet to check some information. ”

"It is said on the Internet that the green sea jade is translucent, better than the transparency of Khotanese jade, the texture is slightly thicker than Khotanese jade, the specific gravity is slightly lower than that of Khotanese jade, the texture is not as delicate as Hetian jade, and it lacks the dignified feeling of mutton fat jade, and it is often seen that there is a transparent waterline; ”

"However, I didn't find these features on my pendant, and I just came here today, so I wanted you to show you what kind of jade it is. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and asked, "What do you think of the material?"

Meng Hongchang said: "Of course I think it's best to be mutton fat jade, but I read it on the Internet, and the performance of high-grade Russian materials is similar to mutton fat jade, and I have no experience, how can I understand it." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then I want to congratulate you, you missed it, this pendant is indeed made of mutton fat white jade." ”

"Really?" Meng Hongchang looked surprised.

"It really can't be more real. Next, Meng Zitao explained the method of identifying mutton fat white jade to Meng Hongchang.

Meng Hongchang took the pendant in his hand, looked left and right, and his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, which made Meng Zitao laugh secretly.

After a while, Meng Hongchang asked, "Since it is made of mutton fat white jade, then this pendant is really worth 18,000?"

Meng Zitao stretched out his index finger and shook it: "This is a very good mutton fat white jade, and the carving is also very good, although it should be a modern work, but with the current market situation, it is worth 300,000 yuan." ”

"Three...... 300,000?!" Meng Hongchang swallowed. His expression was shocked.

"Of course, can I still lie to you about this?" said Meng Zitao.

Meng Hongchang looked at the pendant in his hand with bright eyes. Muttered, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." The first time in my life I picked up a leak, I picked up such a big leak. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "So, in a way, you have to thank your ex-girlfriend." ”

"Cut, thank her!" Meng Hongchang sneered: "I will thank her when my brain is broken, this pendant is regarded as the mental loss fee she gave me, and from now on, I will have nothing to do with her!"

Meng Zitao looked at Meng Hongchang and said, "What." Listen to you, you originally wanted to get revenge on her?"

Meng Hongchang took a deep breath and spit it out again, and then said: "Xiaotao, you don't know how deep my affection is for her, these few nights, I have nightmares about her. Every time I wake up, that pain. It's really indescribable, and I now understand the meaning of the old saying that love is deep and hate is deep. ”

"Still. Like you said, since we were happy together, why bother too much. And if I love someone, don't I want her to be happy? Even if I look at the wrong person. Even if she was not worthy of my love at all, at least I loved her before. Not to mention. I'm a big man, and I always have to be broad-minded. ”

Looking at Meng Hongchang talking and talking, there was a mist in his eyes, and Meng Zitao felt very uncomfortable, you know, since he was a child, he has never seen Meng Hongchang cry, and Meng Hongchang has always been very strong.

Unexpectedly, such a strong person would be like this for his ex-girlfriend, Meng Zitao felt a little unimaginable, and it can also be seen that Meng Hongchang is deeply affectionate.

Meng Zitao persuaded: "Brother Hongchang, since the matter has passed, don't think about it, look ahead, depending on your conditions, you will definitely find a better one!"

Speaking of which, Meng Hongchang's appearance is still very good, some of which are like the image of Tang Long in the TV series, and his own conditions are not bad, there is no reason not to find a suitable other half.

Meng Hongchang smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the pendant in his hand again and said with a smile: "It just so happens that my mother has a birthday in two months, so I will give her this pendant." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If she knew the value of the pendant, she would have to be so scared that she didn't know where to put the pendant, let alone wear it." But that's fine, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. ”

"Is there such a saying?" Meng Hongchang said in surprise.

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "In fact, it is a custom, men generally have a bad temper, and 'male wearing Guanyin' hopes that men can behave kindly." As for the 'female Buddha', the ancients felt that women were more stingy, and this Buddha was Maitreya Buddha, which means that happiness has a measure. ”

In addition, there is another saying that takes homonym, men bring official luck and women bring blessings, men's official luck is prosperous, and women's blessings are like the East China Sea. ”

Meng Hongchang waved his hand: "Hey, it's all some old sayings, according to Buddhism, there is no distinction between men and women between Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so how can they be worn by men and women?"

"That makes sense......

After eating at noon, Meng Zitao and the others walked to the antique shop with some talk and laughter.

When he was about to walk to the door of the store, Meng Zitao found an old man in his fifties and sixties standing, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Professor Changhua Rongchang, who had followed Zhang Jingqiang to the store to transfer the pigeon whistle.

Seeing that Chang Huarong was carrying something in his hand, Meng Zitao estimated that he should have something to make a move again, which made him feel very strange in his heart. Because Zhang Jingqiang introduced this Professor Chang before, his son still runs a company in Jinling, and he is doing well, so he should not be the master who is short of money.

In this case, why did Chang Huarong bring things over again, could it be that something happened to his family?

Meng Zitao thought about it for a while, and then secretly laughed at his thoughts too much, not to mention whether he thought it was right, this Chang Huarong was not his relatives and friends, why did he care so much?

So, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Professor Chang, have you waited for a long time, why didn't you call me when you came?"

Chang Huarong smiled and shook Meng Zitao's hand: "It's nothing, I just came, thinking that you should be coming soon, I didn't call you." ”

After a few words of greeting, Meng Zitao opened the door, invited Chang Huarong in, and poured him tea, and then asked, "Professor Chang, I don't know what is the use of coming to my place?"

Chang Huarong patted the box on the table lightly and said, "Hehe, it's still the same as the first time, there is something I want you to help see." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Of course it's no problem, I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

"The spotted four-series jar of the Lushan kiln in the Tang Dynasty. Chang Huarong said as he took the things out of the box.

The shape of this vessel is full and solemn, the body of the vessel is glazed with sauce, and the glaze adopts the decorative technique of dotting, and the moon is white and colorful. The bottom and inner wall are unglazed. The exposed tire forms iron spots similar to the glaze of the tire from the inside to the outside, which looks like a fine product of Lushan kiln.

Lushan kiln in the Tang Dynasty to produce flower glaze famous, flower glaze is black glaze or yellow glaze as the bottom glaze, on the blue spot, brown spot, moon white spot of multi-layer glaze decoration of a kind of high-temperature ceramic glaze, in the decorative effect and Tang Sancai has the same magic.

The Tang Dynasty flower glaze is the predecessor of Jun kiln, which is of great significance in the history of ceramics in our country, coupled with the beautiful shape of this vessel, exquisite workmanship, if it is genuine, the value should be about 25 to 300,000 yuan.

However, when Meng Zitao saw the Tuqin on the surface of the instrument, he felt that something was wrong, and after careful inspection, he found a problem. (To be continued.) )
