The three of them chatted casually, and because Mr. Liang was quite good at talking and deliberately ingratiating himself with them, the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere due to the previous incident was finally alleviated a lot.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Mr. Liang's wife finally brought the things.

Mr. Liang opened the box and gently took out a cloisonné enamel and put it on the table.

"This cloisonné enamel was inherited by my friend, who was in a car accident and the driver ran away, and the treatment cost all his savings, leaving his family in ruins. I went to his house at the time, and I didn't think it was a good feeling, so I paid for the relocation of the family. ”

"My friend thanked me for giving me this cloisonné enamel, but I did not treat him badly, and later gave him a sum of money so that he could start a small business and support himself. ”

At the same time that Mr. Liang told the origin of the cloisonné enamel, Meng Zitao began to identify, and the first impression of the artifact was really good, and he felt that it should be able to meet the requirements of Qian Xingye, but when the artifact arrived in his hands, a detail made him completely disappointed, and then he found several problems.

Meng Zitao put the things back, and Mr. Liang smiled and said, "Teacher Meng, my cloisonné enamel is good, right?"

Meng Zitao saw the trace of unnaturalness in Mr. Liang's smile, and knew that he should be reluctant to sell it, so he sighed slightly in his heart, and really didn't want to pierce the beauty in his heart.

"Mr. Liang, I can only say sorry, there is something wrong with this copper tire cloisonné enamel Chunshou treasure box. ”

This sentence made Mr. and Mrs. Liang stunned, and after half a sound, Mr. Liang came back to his senses: "Mr. Meng, you're not joking, are you?"

Meng Zitao said: "How can I joke about this kind of thing? To be honest, the biggest problem with this box is that the craftsmanship is wrong. During the Qianlong period, there was a breakthrough in the cloisonné enamel process, which combined chisel tires and painting enamel production techniques in one, so that the development of the process reached the extreme. The thickness of the filigree is uniform and smooth, and the branches and tendrils are expressed in a double hook method. ”

"Before this period, the filigree was fixed on the tire with flux, so the glaze was often contaminated with flux, just like this cloisonné enamel, but the process of the real product is to use glue instead of flux, because it can be fixed with the molten enamel glaze itself, thus reducing the needle eye and pollution generated when the flux volatilizes. ”

In addition, genuine filigree is mostly made of coarse copper wire and less of filament. The flower stems and curly grass are all made of double hook filigree, and the pinching is skillful and neat. But on this copper cloisonné enamel spring longevity treasure box, the performance is not satisfactory. ”

"Moreover, it is a negative type, which is not right. Because compared with the yang carving, the gold process of the yin engraving model is less, and the gold plating is thinner or has a gold effect, mainly in the metalwork and gold plating is slightly inferior to the yang engraving. The gold plating is insufficient, it may only be plated, the gold water is very thin, orange-yellow, and the color and durability are poor. However, the craftsmanship on the box is obviously close to the yang carving, which is better than the usual yin carving, so it seems a bit nondescript. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Mr. Liang was silent, obviously he was a little difficult to accept this result, and he was kind enough to help his friends, but in exchange for this result, it feels ironic to think about it.

"Mr. Liang, your friend may not have deliberately lied to you. Meng Zitao continued.

"What do you say?" Mr. Liang took a deep breath.

Meng Zitao said: "Because this box should be imitated during the Republic of China, it is indeed possible that it was handed down from your friend's ancestors." ”

When Mr. Liang heard this, he finally felt better.

Shu Ze took over and said: "I think you want to blame, just blame the expert you invited for not looking good." ”

Mr. Liang heard that it did make sense, at the beginning, his friend only said that the box was his family's ancestral, and did not say how much it was worth, otherwise, he would have sold it a long time ago, and he would not have had to live so long. And then my reaction was due to the experts I invited said how precious the box was.

Mr. Liang's wife said angrily: "The losses caused to us by this incident must be compensated!"

"There must be an explanation!"

Mr. Liang is also very angry, and he has been treating the box as a treasure, isn't this being played by a monkey!

After that, Mr. Liang was a little embarrassed when he faced Shu Ze: "Shu Shao, I'm really sorry, I don't know this is the result!"

"Okay!" Shu Ze got up and said, "You didn't mean to do this, we'll leave first if it's okay." ”

Seeing that Shu Ze didn't care, the couple just put it down gently, and they were all relieved, and then said all the good things and sent Shu Ze out. Before leaving, Mr. Liang also asked Meng Zitao for a business card.

Out of the door, Shu Ze said with a smile: "You kid finally had a bad day." ”

"It's normal for luck to have ups and downs. Meng Zitao didn't care about this, about five million cloisonné enamel may be out of reach for ordinary people, but it is not a non-sale item that is difficult to find, and it is not difficult to find it with his channels.

"I'll inquire about it for you later. Shu Ze smiled.

Meng Zitao said: "When you inquire, you said that you wanted it yourself. ”

"Afraid of being heard?" Shu Ze was a little curious.

Meng Zitao said: "What I want to exchange is actually for me to use, but it is not very convenient to say, so I borrowed the name of the department, I am afraid that after he hears the news, he will make extraneous branches." ”

"Understood. Shu Ze didn't ask much about the reason.

The next day, before Meng Zitao had breakfast, he received a call from Yue Shouzheng, asking where Meng Zitao was now and that he could come over in person.

Meng Zitao hurriedly said no, Yue Shouzheng is an elder in the end, and he is old, how can there be a reason for an old man to run away.

After breakfast, Meng Zitao rushed to Yue Shouzheng's house, and under the leadership of the nanny, he came to the living room, but when he was about to walk to the door, he heard a roar from inside.

"Get out of here!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a square-faced man who was nearly forty years old and shaved his shaven inches, coming out of the living room in a gloomy manner, glanced at Meng Zitao and left.

Yue Shouzheng and Meng Zitao have seen it, and know that he has a son and daughter, judging from the appearance of the man, it should not be Yue Shouzheng's family, how can he make Yue Shouzheng so angry early in the morning.

Meng Zitao followed the nanny into the living room, and saw Yue Shouzheng being emotional, panting, and his wife asked him to drink water.

Seeing Meng Zitao, Yue Shouzheng's face looked a little better: "Zitao, I'm sorry, I scared you just now." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, and then asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Yue Shouzheng sighed: "It's my apprentice, and I was blind before, I found such a person to be my apprentice, and I knew how to make money all day long, and the whole person got into the eye of money. Hehe, he's going to be so kind, the sows will go up the tree!"

"Okay, don't mention him, don't associate with him in the future, just don't have this apprentice. Old Madam Yue poured tea for Meng Zitao.

"Well, this kind of person must be disowned from him. Yue Shouzheng said with some indignation: "It's angry when you think about it, and your stomach hurts from him!"

Speaking of this, Yue Shouzheng found Meng Zitao staring at him, and he was very strange in his heart: "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Meng Zitao asked, "Elder Yue, do you feel a little uncomfortable?"

Yue Shouzheng frowned: "It's just that my stomach hurts a little, hey, when you asked me like this, it seems to be getting more and more painful, I feel that my stomach is cramping and twitching, ouch, it's getting worse and worse, quickly bring my stomach medicine!"

Meng Zitao hurriedly said, "Wait, old lady, is there any medicine for heart disease at home?"

"Yes, you mean......" The old lady was anxious when she heard Meng Zitao say this, and hurriedly ran back to the bedroom.

"I just have a stomach ache!" Yue Shouzheng's face suddenly changed: "It's not good, my arm is numb!"

Before the words fell, Meng Zitao took out the silver needle he had just taken out of his bag and pierced it into Yue Shouzheng's acupuncture point.

And at this time, Mrs. Yue also came back with a quick-acting heart-saving pill in a hurry, and poured out a few for Yue Shouzheng to hold under her tongue.

Meng Zitao asked the nanny to call the emergency number, in fact, he was sure of the treatment, but this should be considered by Yue Shouzheng's family, it is more appropriate to send it to the hospital.

"Lao Yue, hold on a little bit, the ambulance will arrive soon. Old Madam Yue's lips trembled a little because she was nervous.

Yue Shouzheng waved his hand: "It's okay, except for my heart and mouth being a little stuffy now, there is nothing uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if I go to the hospital or not." ”

"Nonsense, a lot of age, I don't have any count in my heart!" Old Madam Yue scolded.

Yue Shouzheng smiled: "I really don't have anything to do." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Elder Yue, let's go to the hospital for a check-up, you can't judge the condition by your own feelings." ”

"Good. Yue Shouzheng nodded: "Zitao, thank you really today, if it weren't for your quick reaction, it is estimated that half of my life would have gone." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I know some professional knowledge, and I have to remind you when I see it." ”

Yue Shouzheng looked at the silver needle in his hand and was a little curious: "You can also do acupuncture?"

Meng Zitao only said that he understood a little emergency acupuncture, and did not explain too much.

Yue Shouzheng didn't think much about it, he just thought that it was discovered early, the medicine had taken effect, and acupuncture only had a certain effect of adjuvant treatment.

"Zitao, take out the snuffbox and show it to me. Yue Shouzheng said.

Meng Zitao said: "Old Yue, you can't be too emotional now, I'll put the snuffbox first, and I'll give it to you when you go to the hospital for examination, and I'll give it to you after there's no problem." ”

Yue Shouzheng was a little dissatisfied: "Didn't you deliberately hang my appetite." ”

The old lady was unhappy: "Lao Yue, Zitao is for your own good, if you lose your temper with him, I will be anxious with you!"

"He's my savior, how can I be in a hurry with him?"

Yue Shouzheng smiled, and then said, "Let's retreat to the second, you can retell the content and be fine." Rest assured, I'm mentally prepared. ”

With himself by his side, Yue Shouzheng would not be in danger, Meng Zitao pretended to think about it for a while, and then repeated the content recorded in the snuff bottle.
