"Boss Su, I don't know if you think my calligraphy may be in the eye?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Boss Su was silent for a while, and said: "I admit that your calligraphy is really good, but because of this, it can show that my painting is genuine." ”

Everyone was stunned, it's all this time, Boss Su can still say that, how thick his skin is!

Meng Zitao didn't expect that at this time, the other party could still say this, he was a little angry, he sneered: "I want to hear it." ”

"It's very simple, because you write so well that you have surpassed Qi Baishi's level. Boss Su said shamelessly: "I still have a genuine painting of Qi Baishi, which is similar to my version." ”

"Haha, then I'm going to admire your real painting. Ma Ruibo laughed, he laughed at Boss Su for being too shameless, this kind of reason can be found, and his thick skin has reached a realm that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"I'm not just talking. ”

Next, Boss Su really had to go and get another piece of Qi Baishi's work, this work is indeed genuine, but it is his early work, and compared with his calligraphy level in his later years, of course, there is a gap.

"You see, I'm not wrong. Boss Su spread his hands and put on a very innocent appearance.

"Do you compare Qi Baishi's early works with his later years?" Ma Ruibo couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and burst into a foul mouth.

Boss Su's face immediately fell: "Old Ma, I respect you as a senior, and I have always been very polite to you......"

Ma Ruibo interrupted him and scolded angrily: "You still have the face to say, respect me as a senior? That's how you treat your senior?"

Boss Su said forcefully: "Am I not respecting you enough? What good works have been in the past, this is not the first time to inform you! Besides, this calligraphy is mine, I think it is the real handiwork, you have different opinions and don't buy it, why are you crooked, relying on the old and selling the old!"

"You ......"

Ma Ruibo's liver hurt, Meng Zitao persuaded him not to be angry, and then said to Boss Su: "Boss Su, let's stop talking about anything else, what about the gambling game just now?"

Boss Su waved his hand: "I still have some belly, so I don't count what happened just now." ”

Everyone was angry, and Mareb was even more angry that his breathing was a few points thicker.

"Old Ma, what are you?"

At this time, two people walked in from outside the door, these two Meng Zitao knew each other, one was Peng Lao, one of the judges of the competition in the capital, he was also the honorary president of the Yingdu Antique Association, and the other was Chen Zhongfeng's distant uncle Chen Xiangyi.

"Old Peng, you came just in time, give us a comment!" Ma Ruibo was furious, like an angry lion.

It was the first time for Peng Lao to see Ma Ruibo so angry, so he just said hello to Meng Zitao and persuaded: "Old Ma, you dissipate your anger, you have to explain it to us clearly." ”

"Look at this writing first. Ma Ruibo pointed to the imitation Qi Baishi's "Urgent Chapter" that had been put away.

At this time, Boss Su secretly sighed that he was too unlucky, why did he not usually see Peng Laohui, who had never stepped on his own store a few times, suddenly appeared, and this was a big trouble.

His eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, there is indeed a problem with this calligraphy, I admit to losing the bet, this calligraphy and water droplets are yours little brother." ”

"Wait, let's be clear, what did you say to my grandfather just now, will you be cowardly?"

Ma Yulan was also very angry, and immediately pierced Boss Su. Oh, just now, he was holding on to reason, and now he retreats when he sees someone who controls him, and wants to make a big thing small, how can there be such a simple thing?

At this time, Meng Zitao preemptively reopened the painting again: "You two will take a look at it first." ”

With the eyesight of the two of them, they were reminded again, and it was naturally not difficult to find the problem with this calligraphy work.

Chen Xiangyi raised her head and said: "The level of this work is still there, but it cannot be denied that it is a high imitation. ”

Peng Lao asked: "Old Ma, what the hell is going on, is it because he doesn't admit that this is an imitation?"

"Not only that, but it's even more hateful!"

Ma Yulan told everything that happened just now, Peng Lao and Chen Xiangyi glanced at each other and shook their heads together, feeling that Boss Su was too shameless.

Especially Peng Lao, there is still obvious anger on his face, because this Boss Su is a member of the Antique Association, and as the honorary president of the Antique Association, there is such a thing, how can there be any brilliance on his face?

The owner of this shop, even if he sells fakes, he actually refused to admit it after being recognized, and then bet that he would regret it when he saw it was wrong, and it was definitely a shame for the Yingdu Antique Association to spread the news.

What's more, who is Meng Zitao? He is recognized by many old-timers as a contemporary grass saint, and he is also a close disciple of Zheng Anzhi, and he also has an official status, if he says something in public that is not conducive to the antique world of Yingdu, then the loss will be great.

Although Meng Zitao would not be so careful, if he kept Boss Su, Meng Zitao would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Boss Su saw that Peng Lao's eyes were wrong, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Everyone, this matter is indeed my ghost who has lost my mind and done something wrong, and I ask a few adults to have a lot, forgive me this time." ”

Everyone is very contemptuous of Boss Su in their hearts, at this time they know that they are begging for mercy, what did they do before?

"Xiao Meng, what do you think?" asked Meng Zitao's opinion.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "I just want to ask, this Boss Su admits to admitting the previous gamble." ”

"Admit it, I just said it, this painting and the water droplets are for you. ”

"No regrets?"

"I won't regret that!"

"Hehe, I don't trust Boss Su's promise very much. Meng Zitao said with a smile.

"I'll write you a pledge. ”

At this moment, in order to eliminate Mr. Peng's bad impression of himself as much as possible, Boss Su agreed to everything, directly took a pen and paper, wrote a letter of commitment, and pressed his own handprint.

Meng Zitao took the letter of commitment, looked at it, put it away, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Boss Su for his 'generosity'!"

"I'm willing to gamble and lose. Boss Su said dryly, but he had already scolded Meng Zitao's ancestors for eight generations in his stomach.

Meng Zitao smiled, and then put the water droplet in front of Peng Lao: "Peng Lao, look at this water droplet, it's a good thing." ”

Peng Lao knew that Meng Zitao's level of appreciation was very high, and since he said that it was a good thing, it must not be bad, so he immediately took it in his hand and appreciated it.

This is a bionic porcelain, a pair of mandarin ducks swimming side by side, the hollow body is used as a water droplet, equipped with an original cover.

Some people may not know what a water drop is? It is actually a kind of stationery item, and the ancients had to add water to the inkstone when they were studying ink. In the beginning, it is common to use a water bowl to add directly to the inkstone, but if you are not careful, the water will overflow. Therefore, the ancients invented the inkstone, a new artifact that can control the amount of water.

Xu Zhiheng, a cultural scholar of the Qing Dynasty, once said in his famous antique book "Drinking Liuzhai and Saying Porcelain": "Where crops are shaped and do not store much water, they are called drops." "Water droplets, also called water injection, inkstone droplets, there are water inlet holes and water outlet holes, generally the water inlet hole is large, the water outlet hole is small, so that the amount of water can be controlled at any time when injecting water into the inkstone.

Like this kind of bionic porcelain droplets, in the Qing Dynasty is still relatively common, but in the Ming Dynasty is very rare, only to see two mandarin ducks round and lovely, round carved out of the head and neck, close to the middle, as if whispering, the body on the yin line carved out of the tail wing feathers, the whole body with blue and white painted eyes, beak edge, feather pieces and other details, vivid image, Lingxiu lovely.

This water drop shape is unique, the green material hair color is blue, the halo is natural, the small brush touchpoints are dyed blue and white, and the rust spots go deep into the fetal bone, which is an obvious Su material characteristic, the bottom glaze is bright green glaze, the glaze is orange peel-like, the glaze aging traces are obvious, and the paddle is natural.

Seeing the end, Peng Lao's face showed a look of surprise: "Xiao Meng, you don't mean that this is the orthodox official kiln blue and white porcelain, right?"

"What! orthodox official kiln porcelain?!" Chen Xiangyi next to him shouted, as long as anyone who knows something about the history of porcelain knows how precious the orthodox blue and white porcelain in the "blank period" period in the history of porcelain.

Speaking of which, at one time, many people in the industry believed that most of the porcelain fired in the "blank period" of the Three Dynasties was a private kiln product, and there was no official kiln ware. Those who hold this argument are mainly based on the fact that there are not many regular types of porcelain in the "blank period" of both excavation and survival. Moreover, the blue and white or glaze red painted porcelain skills of this period are not as fine as those in the Yongle and Xuande periods, and the fetal quality is not delicate enough.

In fact, during this period, the porcelain imperial kiln factory was still firing porcelain, but because of the continuous war, the change of dynasty and other reasons, the quality and quantity were greatly reduced compared with the Yong and Xuan periods. This is recorded in the "Records of Ming Yingzong", "Daming Huidian", "History of the Ming Dynasty" and other documents.

Therefore, the blank period is not that there is no official kiln porcelain, and there are still those with fine craftsmanship, but the vast majority of them do not have an age, and those that are found are rare.

Now that I heard that this water drop was an official kiln work in the orthodox period, Ma Ruibo and Chen Xiangyi couldn't help but surround them, and Boss Su was even more confused, thinking that he had a bad ear and heard it wrong.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This water droplet, the carcass is relatively thick, the fetal quality is fine and white and moisturizing, the glaze color is mostly white and flashing green, bright and transparent, and the degree of vitrification is higher. ”

As soon as the words fell, Boss Su denied it: "Just kidding, it's impossible, how can this be an orthodox official kiln?" I understand, you deliberately said this in order to block me, right?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "The thing is mine now, and you don't need to approve of it." ”

"You ......" Boss Su was speechless, and he didn't know what words to use to express his mood at the moment.

Peng Lao nodded heavily: "I agree with Xiao Meng's judgment, this is a very rare bionic water drop in the orthodox years, and its value is incalculable. ”

Ma Ruibo and Chen Xiangyi continued to express their agreement with this judgment.

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Old Ma, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Ma Ruibo looked at Boss Su who was mourning, and his heart was very happy.

"Then let's go. ”

Meng Zitao led everyone to the door, and before leaving, he said to Boss Su: "Boss Su, goodbye, I hope to have another chance to exchange next time!"

Boss Su stood stupidly, he really wanted to give himself a slap, why did he write a letter of commitment just now, otherwise the water drop would definitely come back, anyway, the situation is bad enough now, how much can the face be worth?

When the group walked out of the door, he came back to his senses, and angrily directly picked up a teapot on the counter next to him and smashed it to the ground, only to see a "bang" and the teapot was torn apart.

"Ahh

It wasn't until he smashed the teapot that Boss Su reacted and smashed a Qianlong blue and white teapot worth tens of thousands, and the successive unlucky things made his whole person collapse.

On the other side, Ma Yulan walked out of the antique shop and said with a smile: "This kind of villain should treat him like this and let him learn a lesson." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, it was precisely because Boss Su was so hateful that he took advantage of someone and slapped him in the face.

"Ma Lao, I really want to thank you today, otherwise, I wouldn't have received such a treasure. ”

Ma Ruibo hurriedly waved his hand: "It should be me who should be thanked, if it weren't for your coincidence, my loss today would have been heavy." ”

Ma Yulan took over and said: "I still have to blame that guy for being so hateful and actually deceiving you with fakes, grandpa, I think you should go home and check the calligraphy and painting works you bought from him, don't give him a loophole." ”

Ma Ruibo understood that this was very likely, and he suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Meng, why don't you also come to my side to help me check the gates?"

Meng Zitao said with some embarrassment: "Ma Lao, I still have some things to do, why don't I come to you in the afternoon?"

"It's okay, you're busy. ”

After speaking, Ma Ruibo was anxious and ready to go home, but fortunately, Meng Zitao reacted that he did not have the address of his house yet, so he hurriedly asked him for it.

When Uncle Ma Rui and his grandson left, Peng Lao smiled and said to Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, when are you free?"

Meng Zitao replied: "That's the case, I made an appointment with Chen Zhongfeng yesterday, and I will go to Chen's shopkeeper in a while." ”

Chen Xiangyi was slightly stunned when she heard Meng Zitao say this.

Peng Lao also knew Chen Zhongfeng, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's go to Lao Chen's place and sit down first." ”

Chen Xiangyi also smiled and said yes, and of course Meng Zitao agreed.

The group came to Chen Xiangyi's antique shop, and Chen Xiangyi invited everyone to sit down and served tea to everyone.

After drinking tea, Meng Zitao asked about the matter: "Old Peng, I wonder if you have anything for me to do?"
