Meng Zitao pressed the excited emotion, put the painting back in its original position, and saw that Wei Changyu was fine, so he walked back together.

Li Mao pointed to the pile of things selected by Meng Zitao and Wei Changyu, and said with some stammering: "Teacher Meng, are these all problematic?"

Meng Zitao said: "Elder Li, unfortunately, there are indeed some problems with these. ”

These words made Li Mao's family stunned, and the distress was overflowing.

After half a ring, Litton came back to his senses and said, "Teacher Meng, can you please explain it to us?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "This is as it should be, let's start with this water bowl first......"

Next, Meng Zitao began to explain the things he had just picked out, because there were many things, it was too wasteful to explain in detail, he just pointed out the key points, and in addition, Wei Changyu made a supplement on the side.

Listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Li Mao's family was heartbroken and annoyed, and hated Kong Guolin even more, especially the old lady, who gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to eat Kong Guolin's meat.

Mencius was halfway through his speech, when suddenly the doorbell rang, and the old lady walked out of the room while scolding Kong Guolin in a low voice.

Meng Zitao was about to continue the explanation, when he suddenly heard the old lady scolding, and when he heard Kong Guolin's name, everyone immediately understood what was going on, and Li Mao and his son ran out with their legs.

Meng Zitao and Wei Changyu followed the father and son out, and in their hearts, they all felt that this Kong Guolin was really persevering and thick-skinned.

"The surname Kong, you wolf-hearted thing, you still have the face to come! I can't beat you!" Li Mao scolded, picked up the slippers on the shoe cabinet next to him, and pulled them into the face of a middle-aged man.

Kong Guolin was shocked, and hurriedly hid to the side, and said, "Lao Li, what do you mean by this? Is there any misunderstanding?" ”

"Mistakenly you xx thing meeting, don't you know what is going on in your heart?!" Li Mao scolded as he scolded. The movements in the hands did not stop.

Seeing this posture, Kong Guolin hurriedly retreated downstairs, while Li Mao chased after him.

Kong Guolin retreated to the corner of the stairs and noticed a broom. Hurriedly took it in his hand, pointed at Li Mao and shouted: "The surname is Li, I'm not welcome to come over again!"

Although Li Mao had a temper, he was not desperate, and scolded a little out of breath. said: "Kong Guolin, I sue you, the matter between us is not over, I will definitely sue you for fraud!"

At this time, Kong Guolin also realized what Li Mao said, but he still quibbled: "Lao Li, you are mistaken, when did I lie to you?

Li Dun spat at Kong Guolin: "Phew! Tell nonsense with your eyes open, 200,000 things are 20,000 by you." You still have the face to say that others are telling right and wrong!"

Kong Guolin pretended to be stupid and said: "What 200,000, you don't mean that jade holder, right? That's impossible, you must have been deceived by others." It's easy to prove, if you ask him to buy it, he won't agree!"

Li laughed angrily: "People pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other, and the money has reached my account, how do you say he lied to me!"

Li Mao's words made Kong Guolin a little unexpected, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

The old lady pointed at Kong Guolin and scolded: "The surname is Kong." I don't have anything to say, you beast with a beast heart will get retribution sooner or later!"

Watching a family of three keep scolding themselves, it attracted neighbors. Kong Guolin was also a little annoyed, but he really didn't care about this matter, and he couldn't refute it, but he immediately thought of a way.

He sneered, "I did misunderstand at first, but don't think that person is so kind. To tell you the truth, the market value of that jade grip is 400,000, and you haven't been picked up cheaply in the end!"

Kong Guolin's words made Li Mao's family stunned, and then looked at Meng Zitao behind him.

At this time, Meng Zitao said lightly: "Since you said that it is worth 400,000 yuan, then how about this jade piece of jade that I will give you 300,000 yuan?"

Kong Guolin didn't expect that the buyer Li Mao said was still here, and he was a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to answer Meng Zitao's words.

Meng Zitao continued: "You can make 100,000 yuan from this change of hands, and you are not satisfied with this?

The corners of Kong Guolin's mouth twitched, although he wanted to agree, but in his eyes, this jade was worth 200,000 at most, even if it was sold well, it would not sell more than 10,000 or 20,000, so that he would lose 30,000 or 40,000, he was really reluctant.

After a stalemate for a moment, Kong Guolin glanced at Meng Zitao deeply, put a cruel sentence in his mouth, "Hmph! wait and see!", and turned around and went downstairs.

"Old man, just let him go like this?" said the old lady with some unwillingness.

"What else can I do?" Li Mao was also unwilling: "But I definitely won't let him go, I'll go to the police station tomorrow to ask about the situation and see if I can sue him for fraud." ”

Wei Changyu asked, "When you bought things from him, did you sign any agreements or anything like that?"

Li Mao shook his head: "How can you sign that kind of thing?

Wei Changyu said: "If you want to seek justice, you must have evidence, right? Otherwise, he can say that there is no such thing, what can you do with him?"

"This ...... Hey, I'd better ask tomorrow, or I'll feel uncomfortable. Li Mao shook his head, looking very annoyed.

After a while, the group returned to the house, and although the atmosphere was not right, Meng Zitao explained the rest of the things.

Li Mao smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Meng, thank you, and besides, I was really embarrassed just now, as soon as the surname Kong said that, we doubted you." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's nothing, after all, you don't know the market situation, normal people actually think so." But what I want to say is that in the antique industry, if you want to sell an item to an antique shop, under normal circumstances, you must have some discounts, and as for the amount of discounts, it depends on your own judgment of the thing. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I also understand this, people also have to make money. ”

Li Mao nodded again and again, and then said: "Teacher Meng, today's matter is really troublesome for you, you see that we don't understand the cost of appraisal, can you say a number?"

Meng Zitao looked at Wei Changyu, and Wei Changyu said that it was up to Meng Zitao to decide.

Meng Zitao thought about it for a while and said, "That's it, I just fell in love with a painting, and I'll give you 2,000 to buy that painting, and the cost is settled, what do you think?"

"What painting?" Li Mao was a little surprised.

Meng Zitao walked to the long table and took out the painting, and when they saw the content of the painting, everyone was a little surprised, because they all thought that the painting was very ordinary.

Because of the incident in which the jade was held, Li Mao did not doubt that he had him, and said with a smile: "Teacher Meng, this painting was actually given to me when I bought something, and it is not worth any money at all, you have helped so much today, and I have nothing to repay, will I give this painting to you?"

Of course, Meng Zitao disagreed, and finally gave Li Mao a thousand yuan.

Due to the relationship of time, Meng Zitao sat for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Out of the community, Wei Changyu couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Shopkeeper Meng, is there anything special about that painting just now?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "You should have seen this painting just now, do you see anything special?"

"Not really. Wei Changyu recalled for a while and shook his head.

Meng Zitao laughed: "It's originally an ordinary painting, and the reason why I chose it is only because of some personal reasons." ”

Since Meng Zitao said so, Wei Changyu didn't want to ask too much, besides, there was really nothing special about that painting, so he put this matter aside.

Although the trip to Langya has reached now, Meng Zitao has been very satisfied with the harvest, but it is not easy to come to Langya, and he can't have no gains in antiques.

So, at the request of Meng Zitao, Wei Changyu took him to two friends again, harvested some fine works, and then went home.

…………

It had been a week since Langya returned home, and during this time, in addition to making two appointments with He Wanyi and going to Zheng Anzhi a few times to listen to the teachings, Meng Zitao consulted various materials at home to find the location shown in the treasure map.

However, China is rich in land and resources, and on the last painting that Meng Zitao obtained, there is no specific text information, and the content of the treasure map is also ambiguous, so Meng Zitao's search can be described as looking for a needle in a haystack.

After a week, Meng Zitao did have some gains, and basically determined that the location of the treasure map should be in the middle reaches of the Yellow River.

But with a river length of 1,206 kilometers and a drainage basin area of 344,000 square kilometers, Meng Zitao could narrow down some of the clues he drew on Guò, but without other clues, he still didn't know how long it would take him to find the exact location.

"Forget it, it's better now than before, and I can find so many clues, I believe the exact location will definitely be found. ”

Thinking of staying at home for a week, Meng Zitao felt that his bones were a little rusty, looked at the time, and just after one o'clock in the afternoon, he packed up his things and went out.

The army came a few days ago, saying that it was because of a mission and that he would go out for ten days and half a month, so he came to ask Meng Zitao for a leave.

In fact, Meng Zitao felt that in the current situation, it didn't matter if the army came or not, but after a long time of contact with the army, the friendship was not shallow, and if the army was called back by Shu Ze, he would be a little reluctant in his heart, and he would be content with the status quo.
