Li Lunqiao smiled bitterly: "After all, my mother-in-law went early, and when he was a child, I was busy supporting my family and didn't give him a good education." I hope to wait two years, he will be sensible!"

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Meng Zitao doesn't say much about this kind of thing, just at this time Li Wei came back with something, and it saved the atmosphere from becoming embarrassing.

Li Wei put the things in front of Meng Zitao and said expectantly: "Teacher Meng, this is what I bought at the antique market yesterday, can you take a look?"

What Li Wei took out was a gilded Guan Gong statue, with rough workmanship, dull figures, lifeless, clumsy but not simple, elegant and indecent, with its form and lack of brilliance, far from the real ancient works, and at a glance it was a fake and shoddy product.

After looking at it for a while, Meng Zitao raised his head and asked, "Where did you buy this statue?"

"Send a small stall to the fairy bridge. ”

"Why did you choose this statue of Guan Gong?" Meng Zitao asked again.

Li Wei said: "I heard an expert say before that in addition to collecting fine products, we also pay attention to collecting some strange objects, which may be missed." ”

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Most of the strange-shaped things are made by contemporary people in order to confuse buyers who don't know how to do it, don't say that the things are not real, and there is not even a little aesthetics." I'll be honest, don't be angry, in the antique market, it is because there are too many people who hold your views that some people will have an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Hearing this, Li Wei still didn't understand what Meng Zitao meant: "You mean to say that this thing is a fake?" But the seller clearly told me that this is a product of the fifth generation, and said that if it is not right, let me go to him!"

Meng Zitao felt a little funny in his heart, to be honest, if the hawker's words can be believed, the sows will go up the tree.

"If you go to him now, I guarantee you won't find him, and even if you do, he won't admit that he bought it from him. Meng Zitao said.

Li Wei said angrily: "He dares, I won't smash his stall!"

"Fight and kill at every turn, like something!" Li Lunqiao scolded angrily.

"I bought a fake, and I can't settle accounts with him!" Li Wei said through gritted teeth.

Li Lunqiao snorted: "Even if I don't know about the antique trade, I know the rules that you can't return things you buy in this industry, if you go to someone to return them, will they return them to you?"

Li Wei's tone weakened: "This is the new century, and such rules have to be changed." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Now it is indeed different from before, but this rule is still common in the antique industry, you can ask him to return the goods, can you return it Let's say another way, others know that you buy things and return them, and the general will definitely not do business with you anymore." ”

Li Wei said with some grievances: "Then I can only suffer?"

Li Lunqiao poured cold water on his son: "Do you think it's easy to make money from antiques? I think you died of this heart as soon as possible!"

This sentence aroused Li Wei's rebellious psychology, and he said: "I don't believe that I can't make money from antiques." ”

Li Lunqiao was stunned, sighed bitterly in his heart, and said to his son: "Don't talk big about it yet, you still have to figure out what kind of loss you have suffered this time." ”

Although everyone is not related to each other, they can't watch a young man jump into the fire pit, so Mencius said: "The antique industry is very technical, if you really want to devote yourself to this business, then you must learn cultural and historical knowledge, such as this Guan Gong statue." ”

"Guan Yu's official position before his death was Pavilion Marquis, which was the lowest level of knighthood. After Guan Yu's death, he rose step by step, from king to emperor, and then to a martial saint, on an equal footing with Confucius, a literary saint. However, what few people know is that in history, Guan Yu's road to promotion has not been smooth, and he has experienced many ups and downs. ”

"During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor chose Guan Yu only as a supporting role, standing next to the martial saint Jiang Taigong at that time, walking into the temple, accepting the offering of incense, and at the same time Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu were also included in the ranks. In the Song Dynasty, the founding emperor Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin believed that although Guan Yu was very famous, he did not achieve fame, so he expelled Guan Yu from the national sacrificial hall. ”

It was not until the period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty that Guan Yu's fate took a turn for the worse, and he was promoted three times in a row, and since then, Guan Gong was gradually deified, and finally, he became Emperor Wu. So, first of all, from this point of view, the production age of your Guan Gong statue is not right, and no one in the Five Dynasties period would make such a Guan Gong statue. ”

Mencius paused and continued: "In addition to cultural knowledge, you must also understand the level of craftsmanship of each period. For example, this gilding process is to synthesize gold and mercury into gold mercury, apply it to the surface of the bronze vessel, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury, and the gold is attached to the surface of the vessel, and it is brilliant after hundreds of years. And you use chemical raw materials, and in a few years, the gold dust will fall off and be unrecognizable. ”

Therefore, if you want to develop a pair of sharp eyes, in addition to learning more relevant theoretical knowledge and more analytical thinking, you should also go to museums more, even if you go to the antique market, you should also have an attitude of learning, see more and buy less. In this way, you can gradually improve your level. ”

"It's a big expert, and it's reasonable. ”

Li Lunqiao applauded and said to his son: "Did you hear that, if you really plan to rely on antiques to eat, then do what Teacher Meng said!"

Li Wei nodded, he is not a bad person, he will not get along with his own money, he will not hit the south wall and will not look back, at this time, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and said with a smile: "Teacher Meng, I don't know if you have any plans to accept apprentices?"

Meng Zitao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand: "I'm a young man who hasn't graduated yet, how can I teach my disciples?"

Just kidding, he is so busy now, how can he have time to teach his apprentices, and there are too many temptations in the antique industry, and he must find someone with outstanding character to find an apprentice, he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Wang Zhixuan.

Seeing Meng Zitao's refusal, Li Wei was somewhat regretful, but he didn't care, and felt that he would definitely be able to succeed by self-study.

Meng Zitao didn't care what he thought, and after pointing out a few words to Li Wei, he mentioned today's intention.

Li Lunqiao said: "Teacher Meng, I won't tell you, the relationship between my family and my cousin's family has always been bad, and we didn't go when she got married, if you want to ask me something about her, I may not know as much as her neighbors." ”

Meng Zitao didn't care much about how the relationship between the two families was bad, he took out the Sinan jade pendant and put it in front of Li Lunqiao: "Master Li, do you know this?"

Li Lunqiao's face changed, he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and sighed again: "How can you not know it, it was because of this gadget that my father and my uncle had a lot of trouble." ”

"What's going on?" Meng Zitao asked with some surprise.

"In fact, this jade pendant is just the fuse, mainly because my grandfather can't treat his two sons equally, he has always favored my uncle, and all the good things are left to him, and it's nothing when he comes, and the aunt still has to say in the village, my father can't bear it, and finally because of the distribution of this jade pendant, there was a fuss, and finally the two families don't get along. ”

After Li Lunqiao said some old past, he smiled apologetically at Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, you are here for the treasure behind this jade pendant, right?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "If you want to say that I am not curious about the treasure, it must be a lie to you, I also want to know more about the jade pendant." But then again, if there was a treasure, it wouldn't be there until now, would it?"

Li Lunqiao laughed and said: "You are really right, in fact, there was still a treasure at the beginning, and the role was nothing more than to restore the Tang Dynasty, but you also know the historical situation later, how difficult it is to recover the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that it is impossible, so the treasure was taken out, as for what to do, or whether it was all taken out, this point was not passed down by our ancestors." ”

Li Wei pursed his lips and said: "There is really a treasure and there is a reason why you can't take it out completely? If there is still a treasure, our family, from the great-great-grandfather to the grandfather's generation, will not be so poor that they will not even be able to repair the house." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Lunqiao reprimanded, and then said: "Even if there are still some treasures, we can't find a jade pendant in our family, and we must combine a painting and a jade artifact to show the exact location." ”

Meng Zitao's heart moved: "Master Li, I don't know how the paintings and jade were lost?"

Li Lunqiao said: "I heard that there was a bad child in the family at the beginning, and he was addicted to gambling, and as a result, the paintings and jade were stolen and sold to others. ”

Meng Zitao asked again, "Do you still know the contents of paintings and jade?"

Li Lunqiao smiled and shook his head: "This matter has not been handed down, I only know that the content of the painting and the jade are the same, as for what the content is, it is not for me to know." ”

Meng Zitao had some guesses in his heart, this jade pendant and the imitation Juran jade and painting in his hand are together, right?

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao couldn't wait to go back and give it a try, and after that, he asked a few more questions, and found that it was indeed possible to be together, and Li Lunqiao's ancestors deliberately made imitations in order to hide people's eyes, so it is no wonder that he got so many similar works.

"But why did I get these things, could it be that God wants to lend my hand to let that treasure see the light of day?" Meng Zitao couldn't help but think in his heart.

got the news he wanted, Meng Zitao was ready to return to Shudu, but the father and son insisted that Meng Zitao stay for lunch, Meng Zitao didn't agree and they were not happy, and in the end Meng Zitao could only agree.

However, the small talk during the banquet made Meng Zitao a little glad that he stayed.

PS: The number of updates during this period has not been much, mainly because of the bad state, plus now I have developed the habit of coding words at night, and my body has not been very comfortable for a while recently, and the speed of superimposed code words is much worse. However, this book is nearing the end, so you don't have to worry about being a eunuch.

In addition, I will also try to adjust to the daytime code word and finish the book as soon as possible.

Finally, thank you again for your support to me, if it weren't for the subscription of every reader, I wouldn't be able to stick to now, grateful!
