In the next few days, in addition to going to the Jiang family to treat his father and daughter, Meng Zitao went to the Forbidden City to select the right collection, and it was not easy to select the right one from the millions of collections, and there was still a lot of information to fill in after the selection, which was more troublesome.

However, in addition to the trouble, the benefits to Meng Zitao are also huge, just the massive amount of aura absorbed from the antiques made Meng Zitao's mouth crooked, not to mention that he also obtained a number of "treasure views".

It's just a pity that Meng Zitao didn't encounter the opportunity to use "Guanbao", but this is also normal, how can the opportunity to learn a technique in an instant appear so easily?

This morning, Meng Zitao had just driven the car out of the community to go to Jiang Jingping's side, when he received a strange phone call, which turned out to be Ms. Zhu, saying that she was going to divorce Zong Yifeng and was going to divide the property, and there were a few antiques at home that he wanted him to help see.

Meng Zitao was a little confused, he thought that Zong Yifeng was lying, but he never expected that it had only been a week, and the two of them had a quarrel to the point of divorce, it seems that there are people outside Zong Yifeng for this reason, and there is no other explanation.

Meng Zitao originally planned to politely refuse, after all, as the fuse for their divorce, it was too embarrassing for him to go there, but Ms. Zhu said on the phone that she only believed him and begged bitterly, but he couldn't shirk it a little, so he had to agree.

When Meng Zitao came to Ms. Zhu's house again, the atmosphere he felt was completely different from that day, and he seemed tense.

In addition, in addition to the couple, there was also a young woman in her twenties sitting in the living room, who looked a little like Ms. Zhu, who should be their daughter.

At this time, the daughter and Ms. Zhu sat together, and they didn't have a good face for their father, which further confirmed Meng Zitao's speculation.

However, in the face of Meng Zitao's arrival, the father and daughter were quite unwelcome, and he also knew why, Zong Yifeng needless to say, as for the daughter, it must be because he inadvertently destroyed his family and was dissatisfied, which is also the reason why he was reluctant to come.

"Now that Mr. Meng has arrived, things can be identified. Ms. Zhu said coldly.

Zong Yifeng refused: "Wait a minute, the expert I invited has not yet arrived." ”

Ms. Zhu snorted and didn't say anything, but after waiting for half an hour, before anyone arrived, she was a little impatient: "What kind of expert are you calling, it's been so long, and you haven't come here yet!"

Zong Yifeng said with an unhappy face: "What's the hurry, you said to call the experts over, I didn't say anything, you are in a hurry when you come to me?"

Ms. Zhu said with a cold face: "Okay, then I'll wait for ten more minutes." ”

After waiting for another ten minutes, under the urging of Zong Yifeng's phone, the other party was late.

Meng Zitao saw that he was still an acquaintance, and the person who came was Jiang Haoyan.

Jiang Haoyan saw that Meng Zitao was also there, his expression was slightly stunned, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Teacher Meng, it's really a coincidence." ”

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Jiang here. Meng Zitao snorted, and said in his heart, it is really a narrow road.

Speaking of which, since Jiang Haoyan made two ugliness in front of Meng Zitao, everyone knew that he had problems with his character, and now his reputation has also dropped greatly, which is several grades worse than before.

In the antique industry, fame is their food and clothing, Jiang Haoyan can't wait for Meng Zitao to die now, but he is more yin, even if he hates it in his heart, he will not show it very well, of course, the attitude will definitely not be good.

Zong Yifeng could see that there was a conflict between the two, which was good news for him, at least when appraising, he didn't have to worry too much about the price of the collection being underestimated.

"Everyone is here, and now they can always be identified. Ms. Zhu said.

"Okay, the expert you invited started from your side, and I invited from my side, and then wrote the prices and compared, no problem, right?"

"No problem. ”

There is a row of boxes on the table, and inside the boxes are all kinds of antiques collected by the husband and wife over the years, and they are all bought from formal channels, and the question of authenticity should not be big, mainly valuation.

Meng Zitao and Jiang Haoyan glanced at each other, and then began to identify.

Most of the collections that the couple had purchased before were small pieces, and there were more jade artifacts, of course, nephrite, no jadeite. There is basically nothing wrong with these nephrites, and the price is moderate.

In addition to jade, there are several pieces of porcelain, except for one small jar of infant play in the Jiajing period, the rest are official kiln works from the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

There is no problem with the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty after identification, and the remaining works of the Jiajing period can also be remarkable, especially the children in the painting, the posture is different, lively and lovely, three or three and two clusters, or sit and study hard, or play and play, some trailers, some fight crickets, some ride bamboo horses, vividly show the vivid and lively posture of children in the play, each vivid and expressive.

In addition to the painting, other aspects of the blue and white jar also seem to be more in line with the characteristics of the Jiajing official kiln, if you change an expert, it is likely to think that it is a genuine product that has been opened to the generation.

But now it is Meng Zitao who is being identified, and his eyesight has been improved by those porcelains that use high-imitation green materials, so not long after the blue and white jars arrived in his hands, he found that there was a problem with the green materials.

A large number of blue and white porcelain produced in the Jiajing period, its cobalt material is prepared according to a certain proportion, mixed with the Western Regions Huiqing material and domestic stone green material, so the blue and white are reversed into the light and Zhengde slightly thick and gray hue, showing a kind of blue heavy and slightly reddish-purple, bright hue.

Because Jiajing blue and white basically do not have the black iron spots of Yongle and Xuande blue and white, and there are few gray-black colors of Zhengde blue and white, and they are more colorful than Chenghua blue and white materials, therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been well received. It is precisely because of the unique hue of the green material that the modern imitation technology is superb, but it is still unable to make the imitation Jiajing utensils vivid.

Just like the green material used on this blue and white jar, it looks like it is almost the same as the real thing, but if you are an expert who has studied the blue and white porcelain of the Jiajing period, you can still see the problem, specifically, the blue and white hair color is slightly dull, and compared with the real thing, the charm is insufficient.

Seeing this porcelain, Meng Zitao felt a little bad in his heart, because this kind of green material is very similar to the high imitation green material that has been being tracked down before, but the details are different, at least with the method of identifying the high imitation green material, it is impossible to find the problem.

Meng Zitao was worried that it was the improved high-imitation green material that was used, and if this was indeed the case, it would be a bit troublesome.

But this is also something that can't be helped, and this distress will always exist until the gang that invented and used high-imitation green materials is not defeated.

Fortunately, now there is a little clue, and after investigation, it was learned that Xun Suo's cousin Xun Ziqing is very related to the gang of high imitation green materials, and there have been a lot of related porcelain from his hands, just because of the concealment, except for a few people in the know, no one knows at all, let alone his family.

Although I learned that Xun Ziqing was a key person, because I was worried about startling the snake, I was only conducting a secret investigation now, and I immediately investigated one thing, when Xun Suo lost hundreds of millions of assets, it was actually the bureau designed by Xun Ziqing.

When Meng Zitao learned the news, he was very surprised, you must know that the impression that Xun Ziqing gave him at the beginning was just a womanizer who didn't have much ability, and he didn't expect that Xun Suo in the back was so insidious and cunning, what a lust, it was just a disguise of Xun Ziqing.

To get back to the point, although there are problems with the blue and white jars in the Jiajing period, because the imitation is too realistic, it is understandable to be eye-catching, of course, it is a relatively big loss for the couple.

The porcelain has been identified, and the rest is a landscape painting, the author of which is quite famous, it is the famous painter Lan Ying of the Ming Dynasty.

Lan Ying was an outstanding painter who emerged in the late Ming Dynasty, known as the "Zhejiang School Palace". However, compared with other Zhejiang painters such as Wu Wei, Zhang Lu, Wang Zhao, etc., his painting path is obviously much broader. At the beginning of his study of painting, he went out of the Zhejiang school of Fan Li, starting with Huang Gongwang, and participated in Wang Meng, Wu Zhen, Ni Yunlin, Zhao Mengfu, and other parents, and also peeked into Li Tang, Dong Yuan, and Fan Kuan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who learned from him, such as Chen Laolian, Sun Zong, Liu Du and his son Lan Meng, etc., which became popular and had a great influence.

In this landscape painting created by Lan Ying, the scenery is mainly composed of the main mountain, auxiliary mountains and platforms, inkstones, trees, and houses, and the shapes are all more refined, the mountains are more hooked and less clear, the inkstones are folded and angled in many ways, the trees are more less empty hooks, and the houses are also a few brushstrokes, the objects are simple, abstract, and tend to be flat, and repeated.

The idea of the painting is also concise, with many blank spaces, the mountains present a zigzag movement, nearly S-shaped, that is, the so-called "dragon vein", although it is less bizarre but full of majestic momentum; the brushwork is also refined and vigorous, the lines are multifaceted and straight, the brushwork and rendering are few, and the colors are mainly light and fine, which appear bright.

The whole painting is in line with Lan Ying's creative style, but the interesting point is that the ink of this painting does not pass through the back of the paper, and the seal also looks a little problematic, plus this painting is actually the creation of Lan Ying's founding year, which is somewhat different from his later style, but it does not leave a clear date, so with the addition of the problematic seal, some people may think that it is a fake.

After Meng Zitao and Jiang Haoyan identified the things on the table one by one, and wrote down the appraisal results and valuation on the paper, they began to compare.

There was no problem at the beginning, and the price estimated by the two was almost the same, which was within an acceptable range, but when it came to the small jar of Jiajing blue and white baby play, the conclusion was different, and Jiang Haoyan's appraisal results said that it was genuine.

Zong Yifeng was furious at that time, and angrily reprimanded: "You say it's a fake? I bought it from a state-run cultural relics store, do you think you are comparable to those old experts? Hey, what a joke!"
