Seeing that Meng Zitao greeted everyone and was about to leave, He Wanyi hurriedly followed and asked with concern, "Is something wrong?"

"Something happened to Chen Zhongfeng, I'm going to Yingdu. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Meng Zitao replied.

He Wanyi's heart moved, and asked, "Is that the case?"

"I'll tell you later. ”

There are a lot of people here, and it is inconvenient for Meng Zitao to say, so he walked downstairs and briefly explained the reason for the matter.

"Hey, when I left Yingdu before, I reminded him not to act recklessly, but I didn't expect him to listen. ”

"Uh, is there really a ghost in this world?" Sima Yuelan listened to Meng Zitao's story, remembering that he had been unwell because of a black cat statue before, and couldn't help but tremble.

Shu Ze saw Sima Yuelan's frightened appearance, and comforted: "You are talking nonsense again, it's not that you haven't read the appraisal report of the black cat statue, it's all because the radiation is too high." It has nothing to do with any curse or dirty stuff. ”

Meng Zitao also said with a smile: "Indeed, I also think that this kind of thing may be affected by some kind of magnetic field, which causes problems in the human body and hallucinations. ”

"Then will you go down?" He Wanyi was still worried about this problem.

Meng Zitao gave her a reassuring look: "The reason why I went was mainly to treat Zhong Feng, as for going to the tomb, there are professionals to deal with it, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Hearing Meng Zitao say this, He Wanyi was relieved.

Meng Zitao said to Shu Ze again: "Aze, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to play with you for a few days, but I can only talk about it next time." ”

And when he said this, he saw the outward. Shu Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, let me tell you something, we are going to go to Xiangjiang at the beginning of next month, aren't you engaged on the 21st?

Meng Zitao and He Wanyi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as the time is right, we will go together." ”

Everyone walked out of the teahouse while chatting, and at this time, Meng Zitao suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, and then looked in the direction of the feeling, and found that a car was parked at that location, and it seemed that there was no one inside.

Meng Zitao's heart moved, he withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the parking lot quietly.

"Scared the hell out of me, I thought he found out about us. ”

"Are you stupid, you are so far away, and the glass of the car is treated, how could he find out about us?"

"Also, by the way, how could Meng Zitao recognize something so quickly that there was something wrong? Could it be that those experts we raised are all wine bags and rice bags?"

The other was silent for a moment, then said with some hesitation: "No way, those are all experienced experts." ”

"So what's going on, could it be that he Meng Zitao is superior?...... You say, could it be that you got the wrong thing, or that there is a ghost?"

"Impossible!"

"How do you explain that? Although we didn't spend much energy on this matter, I didn't feel comfortable doing useless work. ”

"Leave this matter alone, I'll take care of it......"

On the other side, Meng Zitao originally planned to go back to pack his luggage, but Hu Yuanliang called again, saying that the jade Puxian Bodhisattva statue that he just said had found some flaws, and it was best for Meng Zitao to go over and take a look.

Fortunately, it was the afternoon train, and Meng Zitao was not in a hurry to arrive, so he turned around and went to an antique shop.

The owner is a middle-aged man, how to say, a little crooked melon and cracked dates, belonging to the kind of person who saw him on the road and couldn't forget it for a while.

The man's surname was Zeng, and when he saw that the big boss here was actually such a young man, he couldn't help frowning, and his tone of voice was also a little impatient: "Can you decide quickly, I still have something to do and leave soon." ”

Hu Yuanliang said politely: "Mr. Zeng, don't worry, this is not a business of a few hundred yuan after all, you must be cautious." ”

The man frowned and said, "Hurry up, I've been here for a long time." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "It'll be fine right away." ”

Fuxian Bodhisattva is one of the "Three Sages of Huayan", is a symbol of virtue and virtue, corresponding to the wisdom and virtue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and is the right and left side of Shakyamuni Buddha in the world of Suva.

This statue of Fuxian, the shape is dignified and elegant, one hand is holding the dervishes, one hand is holding the lotus, the body is dressed in elegant clothes, there are Arhats on the left and right, sitting on the white elephant, the elephant has a long trunk and rolls, the body is strong, the back is draped in a brocade carpet, gorgeous and magnificent, sacred and noble, highlighting the calm and peaceful of the Bodhisattva.

The carving of this statue is quite exquisite, and the texture of the jadeite is also very good, but there are only a few cracks and cotton, Hu Yuanliang is still a problem because of this worry, in the end, it is worth 600,000 yuan, and it is not allowed to be a little sloppy.

Meng Zitao took a look at the flaws, which basically belonged to the normal category, after all, such a whole piece of jadeite, without some flaws, it is unlikely that there are no flaws, and if there are no flaws, it is not 600,000 yuan that can be bought.

In the spirit of re-negotiation, Meng Zitao bargained with the man again, but the other party did not let go, plus 600,000 yuan was not cheap, and Meng Zitao agreed to come down.

The money was paid by direct transfer, because it was a local colleague, and soon the man received a text message from the bank and left happily.

"Brother Hu, you don't have to be overly cautious, you can make your own decisions when you encounter good things in the future. "After cooperating for so long, Meng Zitao is also more at ease with Hu Yuanliang, in line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people without suspicion, he still gives Hu Yuanliang some convenience as much as possible.

Hu Yuanliang was still very happy about Meng Zitao's trust, but he was used to being cautious, although he agreed in words, he still couldn't let go in his heart, so Meng Zitao had to let him go to Wang Zhixuan in his absence.

told Hu Yuanliang and Zhu Xinyue that he was going to go far away, and Meng Zitao asked Zhu Xinyue to come over with a brocade box, put the statue up, and he wanted to take it back.

Zhu Xinyue was about to get the box when he saw a woman in her early thirties who looked and dressed a little bewitchingly walked in.

As soon as the woman walked into the store, she said to Hu Yuanliang: "Brother Hu, what about the bracelet you said last time, show it to me." ”

"It's Sister Hui, you sit down first, and I'll get it right away. ”

Hu Yuanliang walked to the cabinet on the side and took out a brocade box from it, the woman named Sister Hui glanced at Meng Zitao a few times, and saw that Meng Zitao's appearance and temperament were very outstanding, and asked casually: "Little brother, are you here to buy things too?"

Zhu Xinyue said: "This is our big boss. ”

"It turns out that you are the famous Teacher Meng, you are really young and promising. The woman feigned surprise.

Meng Zitao greeted her politely and said a few polite words.

The woman's name was Ma Xiaohui, and she noticed the statue of Fuxian on the table, and her eyes lit up a little: "Teacher Meng, can I take a look at this statue?"

Meng Zitao stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

This statue is huge, heavy, complex, and exquisitely crafted, and it is breathtaking. The jadeite pulp is contained, the color is natural, and the natural charm is obtained, and the colors flow and blend, showing a colorful effect. In the green green of the beans, you can see purple mottled, just like "purple gas from the east", which means the omen of auspicious arrival.

The more Ma Xiaohui looked at it, the more she liked it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Teacher Meng, do you sell this statue of Fuxian Bodhisattva?"

"Not for sale. Meng Zitao shook his head: "If you want to invite back, we can still discuss it." ”

Ma Xiaohui smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I lost my words." My mother believes in Buddhism, so I ask her to come back and pay homage, I wonder if it's okay?"

"This statue is a bit precious. Mencius said ambiguously.

"As long as the price is reasonable, there is no problem. Ma Xiaohui felt that he understood what Meng Zitao meant.

Meng Zitao said: "You are also an old customer in our store, I don't open it randomly, one million, do you think it's acceptable?"

"One million?" Ma Xiaohui's mouth opened slightly, a little surprised by the price.

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "The purpose of our store is to be undeceiving, and this is already the lowest price." ”

"Can't it be cheaper?"

"It's already the cheapest. ”

Ma Xiaohui pondered for a moment and asked, "Teacher Meng, can you barter things here?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It can be, but the value cannot be less than that of a statue." ”

"Okay, then you wait for me for twenty minutes, and I'll come when I get something. ”

As soon as Ma Xiaohui's words fell, she got up and rushed out.

Meng Zitao had to wait here, and asked about Ma Xiaohui's origin.

Hu Yuanliang smiled: "This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

It turned out that this Ma Xiaohui was married to a boss for the second time, but the boss was over 60 years old, so to speak, there was nothing to do except money, the reason why Ma Xiaohui married him was because of love, but in fact, who knows? So the boss's children, the attitude towards her can be imagined.

After marriage, Ma Xiaohui should think that the boss is old and worried that one day she will hang up, and she will have nothing in the end, so she usually prepares for this and often buys some jewelry.

Later, Ma Xiaohui didn't know where she heard that the antique market was better, so she bought antiques, but she also knew how many catties she had, and she usually only bought them in big stores.

Hu Yuanliang bought a jade bracelet in the store before, which was very good, but unfortunately it was not a pair, it was the daughter of a certain boss who made a private love affair with a man a few years ago, but the man changed his mind after staying abroad.

Time passed, the boss went bankrupt, and his daughter was forced to sell it. This emerald bracelet is made of clear, jade jelly, good color, green and watery, no white spots and black spots, and the jargon is called "one breath" green. Hu Yuanliang bought it inexpensive, only spent 50,000 yuan.

Two days ago, Ma Xiaohui came to the store to shop, and Hu Yuanliang took out this emerald bracelet to show her. She fell in love with it at first sight and said, "It's good to be good, but it's not a pair." ”

Hu Yuanliang introduced the origin of the bracelet to her, and Ma Xiaohui also felt sad and uncomfortable after hearing it, and she was also a little unhappy.

When Hu Yuanliang saw it, he asked Zhu Xinyue to bring a crystal bowl filled with cold water, and put the emerald bracelet into the water, and the water in the bowl was like turquoise seawater.

Ma Xiaohui's attention turned to the bracelet again, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and finally couldn't help but ask for the price.

Hu Yuanliang told her that the lowest price of the bracelet was 300,000 yuan, and Ma Xiaobuhui felt that the price was not bad, but he didn't have so much money in his hand, so he paid a deposit of 500 yuan first, and said that he would come over to pick it up today, and asked Hu Yuanliang not to sell it to others.

When Meng Zitao heard that this was the case, he shook his head with a smile and sat and waited for Ma Xiaohui to come back.

After a while, Ma Xiaohui came over with something, it was a small seal, made of Tian Bai, Meng Zitao was surprised when he saw it, this was actually a treasure seal.

There are many kinds of emperor's treasure seals in the Qing Dynasty, covering a wide range of things, just in terms of the content shown in the inscriptions, they can be roughly divided into titles, names, years, palaces, collections, Jiayan poems, etc. Although these seals are of different types and show different characteristics, they have something in common in their value in reflecting the emperor's thoughts and interests. For the treasure seal of the Qianlong Emperor, the imperial poetry seal is worthy of special attention. Sotheby's Hong Kong's recently solicited "Tranquility and Wonderful" seal falls into this category.

This Xishou Mountain stone, with the shape of the carved landscape character architectural scenery, the printing surface is 4.2 centimeters square, and the height is 9.3 centimeters. The printed text is the five characters of Yangwen "meaning quiet and wonderful".

This seal is now in the Forbidden City in Beijing in the "Qianlong Baoxu" has a clear description, after comparing with the real thing, whether it is the size of the volume, or the layout of the seal law is completely consistent with the record in the book, it can be determined that this seal is the real product of the Qianlong Emperor's treasure seal. Since the source of this seal inscription and the details of its production are all documented, it is also quite representative of the Qianlong treasure seal that has appeared so far

In the early and middle Qing Dynasty, there were no craftsmen who specialized in carving stone seals and buttons in the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the carving of stone seals was mostly done by toothsmiths. The inner court tooth craftsman applied the mature ivory carving technology to the stone printing material, and the seal button produced was fine and full of charm, and the expression of the ivory carving in the same period has many similarities.

The whole button adopts the flat ground yin line bas-relief technique, the overall scenery layout is simple and simple, and the sense of hierarchy of far and near is extremely distinct; the expression of different scenes is also rich and diverse, and the characters, buildings, and trees are mostly depicted with lines, or rough or fine, vivid and smooth. The mountain stone outlines the outline with lines, and the slight concave and convex surface gives people a strong three-dimensional sense under the light; the relationship between the left and right front and back of the position between the scenery is clear and clear, seemingly inadvertent, but in fact it is cleverly arranged everywhere, without revealing traces, and intriguing.

In addition, what Meng Zitao is most concerned about is that the specific production and carving process of this seal is well documented, and it is the work of Ye Dingxin, a famous toothmaker in the Qing Palace. The available data shows that Ye Dingxin has served in the Qing court for more than 20 years, and there are many jobs he has made, but until now, we have not been able to confirm a single work of Ye Dingxin. The appearance of this "quiet and wonderful" seal fills this gap, which can be described as lucky.
