Xu Youhao thought of this and smiled at Zheng Anzhi: "Hey, you are really wooden, the apprentice has written a good hand, and you don't even know it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmph! I already knew he could write well. ”

Zheng Anzhi said this just to save a little face, so he looked at Meng Zitao: "When did you write so well?"

Meng Zitao scratched his head: "It's been a while. ”

Zheng Anzhi said angrily: "In this case, why don't you know to tell me?"

"Hehe, I was going to find a suitable opportunity to talk to you again, but I've been running outside and haven't had a chance to say it. Meng Zitao smiled, in fact, he didn't have a chance to mention this matter because Zheng Anzhi had already set off to the capital.

"Haven't you heard the old saying, time is like a sponge, there will always be a squeeze, the key is whether you want it or not. ”

Zheng Anzhi glared at Meng Zitao, but he was not angry about this matter, after all, he knew that Meng Zitao's handwriting was good, but he didn't let Meng Zitao show his hand in front of him, his thoughts were the same as everyone, they all felt that Meng Zitao could not have too high a calligraphy level at this age, but he didn't expect Meng Zitao to be a freak at all.

Meng Zitao scratched his head and laughed a few times.

Xu Youhao shook his head: "You old guy, why is your luck so good, others are proud to be able to worship a famous teacher, I estimate that you will go down in history in the future because of an apprentice like Xiao Meng." ”

Zheng Anzhi smiled and said, "No way, who called me lucky." ”

"Look at you, I really want to fight with you!" Xu Youhao is undoubtedly quite envious of Zheng Anzhi, but unfortunately he has no other reason, otherwise, he really wants to fight with Zheng Anzhi.

Xu Youhao thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Meng, how many days do you have to stay in the capital?"

"What do you want to do?" Zheng Anzhi became vigilant.

Xu Youhao looked at Zheng Anzhi: "Why are you so nervous, with Xiao Meng's calligraphy level, I can still accept him as an apprentice?"

Meng Zitao made a round and said with a smile: "I'm probably going to stay in the capital until about the twentieth, do you have anything to do?"

Xu Youhao said: "It just so happens that there is a calligraphy exchange meeting on the 19th, if you want, I will take you with you." ”

Zheng Anzhi disagrees with this: "Zitao is still too young, and it's not good to put him in the spotlight too early." ”

Xu Youhao straightened his expression and said, "I know what you mean, Mu Xiu Yulin is really not good, but with Xiao Meng's current calligraphy level, there is no need to worry about this." Besides, with us escorting him, can we still make him suffer? And, as you said, Xiao Meng is young, but on the other hand, we are not young, to put it mildly, we can still eat for a few years. ”

Zheng Anzhi understood what Xu Youhao meant, after all, Meng Zitao was only twenty-five, even if it would take another ten years, he would still be young in this industry, and at that time, it would be difficult to say whether he could still help Meng Zitao.

Besides, as the old saying goes, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and it is not good for Meng Zitao to have a smooth sail all the time, since this is the case, then let Meng Zitao hone more, anyway, he is still here, and no one dares to do anything to Meng Zitao under normal circumstances.

Zheng Anzhi figured it out, so he said to Meng Zitao: "Zitao, in the future, you can decide some things yourself, I only have one request, do things worthy of your conscience, and don't hurt heaven and reason." ”

Meng Zitao said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust." ”

Xu Youhao smiled and said, "Your master has no opinion, what about you, do you want to go with me to see it?".

Of course, Meng Zitao has no problem.

After lunch, everyone drank tea and chatted in the living room, and when it was almost one o'clock, another guest came over.

After a while, everyone saw a somewhat thin middle-aged man, holding a blue and white plum vase with a height of fifty centimeters, panting and walking in.

Xu Youhao looked at this posture and said with a smile: "Xiao Dong, what strange things did you bring here this time?"

"The Yuan blue and white plum vase is just a Yanyou type. The middle-aged man smiled, and when he saw Zheng Anzhi sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Ah, isn't this Zheng Lao?"

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "Xiao Dong, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

The middle-aged man walked to the side of the sofa, put the plum bottle he was holding on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's not, I remember that I haven't seen you for more than five years, but your body is still as tough as before, and it is definitely not a problem to live a long life." ”

"You are the same, your mouth is still so sweet. ”

Zheng Anzhi smiled, then pointed at Meng Zitao and said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is my closed disciple Meng Zitao." ”

"Oh, I've heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally got my wish, and I am indeed a young talent. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly shook hands with Meng Zitao, and his enthusiasm seemed to have met a relative he hadn't seen for a long time, which made Meng Zitao feel a little unbearable.

Next, through the introduction, Meng Zitao learned that this middle-aged man is Xu Youhao's nephew, named Dong Jichang, a well-known oil painter in China, who opened a gallery by himself, and his business is usually not bad.

Although Dong Jichang studied oil painting, but a few years ago, he was fascinated by blue and white porcelain, but he had little experience in the identification of ancient porcelain, often eye-catching, taking medicine, but he was never tired of it, and said that even if it was a fake porcelain, it could also bring inspiration to his creation.

In addition, Dong Jichang is still relatively restrained in his attack, even if he is blind, it will not hurt his muscles and bones, and everyone will go with him.

Everyone exchanged a few words, and their eyes fell on the blue and white plum vase brought by Dong Jichang.

The main pattern of the bottle body is the story pattern of the character "Xiao He Moon chasing Han Xin", supplemented by lotus petal patterns up and down. There are many layers of decoration but not chaotic, and they are integrated.

This plum vase is bold with a pen, a typical Yuan Dynasty style, but the blue and white color looks relatively pure, which makes Meng Zitao a little suspicious.

Although Xu Youhao is proficient in calligraphy and painting, he also has a study of porcelain, and his eyesight is no worse than that of an expert.

Dong Jichang said truthfully: "This is my friend's collection, according to him is unearthed from a Yuan Dynasty wine site not far from porcelain, there are a total of four pairs of blue and white plum vases, it looks very good, there are also old looks, I think it is more open, he wants to transfer, I want to come down." ”

Xu Youhao smiled: "With Lao Zheng and Xiao Meng here, I won't get an axe in the class, listen to what they say." ”

"Elder Zheng, I have to trouble you to talk about it. Dong Jichang said with a smile, judging from his performance, he didn't seem to care about the authenticity of this thing at all.

Meng Zitao got the master's instructions, and said categorically: "Brother Dong, I can only say sorry, this plum bottle is not right, and it is not the first time I have heard a story like you just said. ”

"Ah!" Dong Jichang was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Youhao glared at Dong Jichang, "Ah what, this kind of scam will deceive a fool like you." ”

Dong Jichang was a little dumbfounded: "No, I think what my friend said is very serious, it's unlikely that he is telling a lie, and he doesn't have the talent to deceive." ”

"If he's not lying to you, he's just like you, a complete fool. ”

Then, Xu Youhao told the source of this scam: "This scam has been around for a long time, and it was not Yuan Qinghua but Ming Qinghua that was fried at the beginning.

Dong Jichang nodded and said, "I've also heard about this, but what does this have to do with blue and white porcelain?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

Xu Youhao sneered: "There are not too many people who like to use their brains in the antique industry, at that time, someone went to the porcelain capital to customize a batch of imitation Ming porcelain, and buried those fake things in the place near the old cellar of the winery, and then set up a bureau, saying that someone found a wine cellar in Wanli Nian, and then took people over to verify." ”

"After that, it happened that a cellar of Yuan blue and white plum vases was unearthed at an infrastructure construction site near the porcelain capital, there were probably dozens, of course, such a big thing could not be hidden, so someone started the idea of Yuan Qinghua, this should be how you came to this bottle. ”

The corner of Dong Jichang's mouth twitched: "Uh...... In other words, the bottle is not worth half a dime, and it is not wine?"

Xu Youhao said: "Half a cent is not worth it, I think the workmanship of your bottle of plum is still good, and it is estimated that the person who made the game also spent a lot of thought." As for what's inside, I don't know until I open it. ”

Both Zheng Anzhi and his apprentice agreed.

Dong Jichang sighed and said: "Hey, it seems that I am happy again, I don't really care much about the plum bottle, I mainly want to see the wine of the Yuan Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be empty again." ”

Xu Youhao shook his head: "Just said that you are a fool, you are whimsical, why don't you think about it before you buy it, if it is really filled with wine, from the Yuan Dynasty to the present, there can be so much wine in the bottle?"

Dong Jichang laughed dryly: "Didn't I think of the ancient wine unearthed from the tomb of King Zhongshan, so I didn't think much about it." ”

Dong Jichang said that the tomb of the King of Zhongshan is 2300 years ago, in the process of excavating the tomb of the King of Zhongshan, in the east and west two libraries, respectively, found a flat copper kettle and a round copper kettle, the mouth of the pot has a copper lid seal, closed tightly, there are staff shaken, feel that there is liquid inside. After opening the round pot, all of a sudden, a burst of wine fragrance wafted out, which was the imperial wine that had not yet volatilized.

Among them, only half of the liquor in the round pot remains, which is dark green and weighs 3 kilograms, while the liquor in the flat pot is more, about seventy or eighty percent, weighing 6.7 kilograms, is light emerald green, clear and transparent. This is the oldest physical liquor in the world.

Xu Youhao said: "You, I don't want to think about it, it's bronze, and you are porcelain, which do you think is faster in terms of volatilization speed? ”

"Hey. Dong Jichang looked at the plum bottle he brought with a bitter face: "Eat a trench and increase wisdom." ”

"You're going to be weird!"

It's not that Xu Youhao deliberately stimulated Dong Jichang, the main thing is that he really doesn't have a long memory, the same thing just changes a trick, and he can be fooled again, and after a few times, Xu Youhao doesn't bother to care about him.

Dong Jichang smiled and said, "Don't worry, before I start in the future, I will definitely have more brains." ”

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "I'll teach you an identification method, in fact, if it's a real thing, the sealing mud on it is generally made of pig blood and glutinous rice milk mixed with chaff." It smells a little old-fashioned, the color is also black, and the viscosity of the sealing mud is very large, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of the sealing mud. ”

"But what about your sealing mud, it's yellow, it's obviously wrong, no accident, it should be made of glue and yellow mud, if you don't believe it, you use a lighter to bake it and smell it, there must be a chemical smell." ”

Listening to this little trick, Dong Jichang hurriedly took out a lighter and baked the mud for a while, stepped forward to smell it, and sure enough, there was a pungent smell.

Dong Jichang shook his head: "Hey, that's really the case, if I knew this method, how could I hit this eye." It seems that there is still too little knowledge in the stomach. ”

Xu Youhao said: "Not only are you too little knowledge, but your eyesight is also too poor, I advise you, next time, it's better to see more and buy less." ”

Dong Jichang smiled and nodded yes, at least whether he remembered it or not, only he knew.

After sitting here at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the master and apprentice got up and said goodbye.

Dong Jichang also said goodbye together, and before leaving, he also told Meng Zitao that he would contact more in the future, and Meng Zitao should also go.

The next day, Meng Zitao originally planned to go to the department's library to study, but he received a call from Lu Dongchen early in the morning.

On the phone, Lu Dongchen first chatted with Meng Zitao for a while, and then mysteriously told Meng Zitao that he knew a toast, and recently this toast friend had something to sell, and asked Meng Zitao if he was interested in going to see it together.

The so-called "Tusi" has a meaning with Tufuzi, to put it bluntly, it is a tomb robber, although Mencius Tao does not like to buy things from tomb robbers, but he is not the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible, if he really encounters any treasure, he will buy it, at least he will not let the treasure go abroad.

Of course, even if there is nothing to buy, it is not bad to see it, so Mencius agreed.

The two made an appointment to meet at a place close to Panjiayuan, and Meng Zitao set off by car alone, and when he arrived, Lu Dongchen had already arrived.

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry I'm late. Meng Zitao greeted Lu Dongchen and looked at him secretly, it seemed that Lu Dongchen had come out of the shadow of the loss of the game the day before yesterday.

Lu Dongchen smiled: "You're welcome, I just arrived." Let's go now. ”

"Okay, you lead the way. ”

Meng Zitao followed Lu Dongchen to his destination, and asked as he walked, "Brother Lu, what is the origin of that toast?" ”

Lu Dongchen said: "How to say, as far as I know, he should be a wild man, and he has found out all his skills." ”

"Self-taught?"

"Yes. ”

Lu Dongchen nodded and said: "Everyone calls him Teacher Tang, he used to be a teacher, teaching primary school Chinese, but later, he became obsessed with the Book of Changes, learned the five elements of gossip, often helped people read the eight characters, measured feng shui or something, and the money came quickly, so he didn't want to be a teacher." As for how he came up with the idea of making toast, I don't know. ”

"In addition, he is very good at appraising antiques, and people like us who know him say that he certainly has no problem with his eyesight being a specialist in the Forbidden City. However, this guy often chatters, and he hasn't been seen for three days, so there aren't many people in the circle who know about him. ”

Lu Dongchen went on to introduce that Mr. Tang opened an antique shop in Panjiayuan, and the main customers were guests from the Xiangjiang side. After that, the two became friends.

Just as Lu Dongchen was introducing Mr. Tang, Meng Zitao suddenly heard a commotion not far ahead, Meng Zitao was good at hearing, and vaguely heard the sounds of "Buddha statue", "game", and "100,000 yuan".

Meng Zitao and Lu Dongchen walked over with some curiosity to take a look, and found that it was a middle-aged man with a somewhat obscene appearance who was surrounded by a group of people and beaten violently, and the middle-aged man's face was beaten with blood, but he didn't fight back.

Lu Dongchen saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, hurriedly ran over, and said loudly: "What are you doing, what are you doing!

"Wang Fa! Haha, it's funny, the liar actually wants Wang Fa!"

"I said, who is this kid of yours? Look at you like this, you must be in a group. ”

"The liar's accomplice must also be a liar, and the guys beat him!"

Seeing a few men looking at him fiercely, Lu Dongchen also began to worry and become afraid.

"Stop!"

At this time, Meng Zitao walked over quickly and shouted: "If there is anything to be done clearly, let's see who is wrong, if it can't be solved, then go to the police station to solve it, and then do it, then don't blame me for being polite!" (To be continued.) )
