After pondering for a moment, Qian Dexiang could only press the unhappiness in his heart and agreed to Meng Zitao's price.

Meng Zitao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qian Dexiang, so he paid directly, and then put on a picture of ignoring it. This is really Qian Dexiang's annoyance, if it weren't for the secret in that painting, he wouldn't have taken things down.

Anyway, the money was already in hand, and Qian Dexiang didn't want to be bored here, so he and his companion glanced at each other, and then left.

Seeing that the things were finally in hand, Meng Zitao thought that he might be able to unlock the secret of the treasure map, and his heart couldn't help but get excited. So, he packed up his things, prepared to close the shop, and went home to take out the contents of the painting.

However, as soon as he packed his things, the person who had come with Qian Dexiang before walked in.

Seeing that he was carrying a small brocade box in his hand, Meng Zitao had a number in his heart, and he asked with a smile: "Mr. Mi, I don't know what you need?"

Qian Dexiang's companion's name was Mi Yangwen, and he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, I have something I want you to estimate here, if the price is right, I want to sell it." ”

"Please!" Meng Zitao didn't want to understand why Mi Yangwen didn't take out the things just now, so he made a plea to him.

However, Mi Yangwen took the initiative to say the reason: "I have known Qian Dexiang for a few years and know his character, so I don't want to take it out just now." ”

Looking at Mi Yangwen's confident expression, Meng Zitao guessed his thoughts, which was nothing more than that Mi Yangwen felt that his things were precious, and Qian Dexiang would be jealous when he saw them.

Meng Zitao didn't want to care about this kind of thing, so he motioned to Mi Yangwen to take out the things.

Things are really good, it is a Doucai Fushou three multi-pattern plum bottle in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, its carcass is fine, white and firm, the glaze is bright and shiny, the white is slightly flashing green, and the glass texture is strong. The shoulder of the bottle is decorated with a deformed lotus petal pattern, the main body of the bottle is decorated with a "Fushou Sanduo" pattern, and the bottom of the bottle is decorated with a double-layer banana leaf pattern.

In addition, the bottom of the bottle is written in blue and white "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" six-character regular book, and there is a slight bump at the mouth of the bottle.

However, although the thing looked good, Meng Zitao always felt a little strange in his heart, and then, he took the thing in his hand, looked at it carefully, and used various tools to inspect it, and suddenly had a number in his heart.

Seeing Meng Zitao raise his head, Mi Yangwen asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know how my plum vase is?"

Meng Zitao said: "I don't see this thing well. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Mi Yangwen's face immediately froze, and after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, you can't be mistaken, I have done scientific identification of this thing, how can there be a problem?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the box and slapped it in front of Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao took the paper in his hand and saw that it was indeed an appraisal certificate issued by an authoritative department.

"How about it, there is no problem with the certificate, right?" Mi Yangwen asked with a sneer.

"No problem. Meng Zitao said calmly.

"Then you can tell me, what's wrong with my things!" Mi Yangwen showed an aggressive posture, as if to say, if Meng Zitao didn't say one, two, three, he wouldn't mind making a fuss.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I didn't say that there is a problem with the tire of this plum bottle, and in addition, there is no problem with the green material, of course your test report is true." ”

Mi Yangwen frowned, and said in a stiff tone: "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know that the color is added later, or the color is supplemented?" Meng Zitao asked rhetorically.

"Post-color?"

"...... right"

Post-colored porcelain refers to a kind of fake that is painted and decorated with low-temperature colored materials on monochrome glazed porcelain or blue and white porcelain that originally belonged to white glaze, so that it becomes low-temperature colored porcelain. Supplemental color is the method of repairing the color decoration of Song and Jin red and green colored porcelain, Ming and Qing five-color porcelain, doucai porcelain and pastel porcelain, that is, all low-temperature glaze colored porcelain.

The reason for the appearance of post-colored porcelain and recolored porcelain is not to re-beautify the porcelain to restore its ornamental value, but solely to sell these porcelain for a higher economic value than before the restoration.

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Mi Yangwen's mind also began to waver, and he asked with some hesitation: "You mean to say that the color of my plum vase was added later?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes, but it is more accurate to say that the green material should be true, and as for the other colored materials, they are added later." ”

Mi Yangwen frowned and said: "This is not right, now the porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is popular, if you add color, you have to pass the kiln fire, how much will it affect the porcelain, and thus affect its price, so why should the counterfeiter do this?"

Meng Zitao said: "If your plum vase is intact, it must not be cost-effective, but is your plum vase intact?"

Mi Yangwen pondered for a moment, and said with some confidence: "My plum bottle does have a bump, but it's not big." ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Meng Zitao pointed to some marks on the bottle and said: "The glaze color material is soft in texture, and it is easy to be wiped and worn in long-term use, resulting in dull surface luster. But your plum vase, the glaze has a soft channel and the color material is not worn, in the identification, we generally think that it is after the color or color is undoubtedly added. ”

"In addition, if you look at these scratches on the bottle, the scratches only hurt the glaze and there are no scratches through the color material, which is impossible in practice. ”

"Because, the scratches on the glaze are caused by the hardness of the foreign object exceeding the hardness of the enamel. If the glaze can be scratched, the color material will not be spared. Therefore, the scratches on the glaze must be injured by the glaze and color. Therefore, the performance on this artifact is contrary to common sense. From this point of view, perhaps it was precisely because of these scratches that the original owner had the idea of adding color later. ”

"Also, the tires have to go through the high temperature before the coloring. Only those who have no problem can add color. After a high temperature, the tire will be a little brighter than the previous glaze. However, there is also a low temperature before adding color, and the glaze of the low temperature will not become brighter. However, regardless of high temperature and low temperature, as long as the porcelain has passed through the kiln, it will leave traces at the slightly larger glaze shrinkage point. Look at this ......."

Meng Zitao pointed out a few problems on the bottle, which made Mi Yangwen even more silent.

Seeing that Mi Yangwen was still struggling in his heart, thinking that his shop was newly opened after all, Meng Zitao felt that it would be better to say a few more words, so he asked again: "Mr. Mi, do people know what Fushou Sanduo is?"

Fushou Sanduo is an auspicious pattern in porcelain decoration, and the allusion comes from "Zhuangzi, Outer Chapter, Heaven and Earth": Yaoguan is in Huafeng, and Huafeng people wish to say: "Make the saint live, make the saint blessed, and make the saint more men." ”

After the folk, the homonym of bergamot and the word Fu means "Fu", the peach has a long life and harmonizes "longevity", and the pomegranate has many sons and harmonizes "many men", which is called "Fu Shou Sanduo", "Huafeng Sanzhu" or "Duofu and Shou Duo Man", showing the prayer of many blessings and many longevity and many sons.

Seeing that Mi Yangwen shook his head, Meng Zitao explained the meaning of Fushou Sanduo, and continued:

"Generally speaking, the blue and white ware decoration needs to be painted with all the content to be expressed, while the bucket color decoration is only painted with blue and white to draw part of the content, and the rest of the content is left to the low-temperature color material to be filled after the blue and white firing. But as for your plum vase, the blue and white parts have already been painted with all the contents, so why use other colored materials to add to it? This is also not at all reasonable. ”

Meng Zitao's words were like the last straw pressed on the camel's back, making Mi Yangwen completely give up the idea of arguing, and asked with a depressed face: "Shopkeeper Meng, according to what you say, my thing is not worth anything?"

Meng Zitao shook his head and said: "I can't say that, the foundation of your thing is still true, but it's a pity that it shouldn't take long to add color after this, if it is the Republic of China, it will be valuable." ”

"How much is it worth?" Mi Yangwen asked again.

Meng Zitao thought about it and gave a price that Mi Yangwen could not accept, of course, this was his purchase price, in business, Mi Yangwen did not give him a penny, of course he could not quote the market price.

Mi Yangwen sighed: "Hey, then forget it, it's only worth these few dollars, then I might as well watch it at home." ”

Anyway, this thing, Meng Zitao didn't have the idea of getting it, Mi Yangwen wanted to make the best shot, and it didn't matter if he didn't want to make a move.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was just looking at him quietly, Mi Yangwen had to put his things away, stretched out his hand to Meng Zitao and shook it: "Shopkeeper Meng, thank you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that you are not welcome.

After saying a few polite words, Mi Yangwen said goodbye, and after a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper Meng, take the liberty of asking, what is the relationship between you and Qian Dexiang?"

"Our two families have some contacts. Meng Zitao said simply.

"Oh. Mi Yangwen thought for a while and said, "I listen to Qian Dexiang, he may spread bad things about you." ”

"Hehe, what a white-eyed wolf. ”

Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, he had seen someone on the Internet say that there is a kind of person, no matter how much you help him, he will only remember how much you took advantage of him.

In the past, Meng Zitao didn't believe in this, but now that he has experienced it himself, he can't afford not to believe it.

"Mr. Mi, thank you!" Meng Zitao arched his hand.

"Where, I'm just not used to this kind of person. Mi Yangwen waved his hand, and then said: "Shopkeeper Meng, if I have any antique needs in the future, please help me a lot." ”

Since even a person like Qian Dexiang is not treated badly by Meng Zitao, it shows that Meng Zitao's character is still good, and doing business with this kind of person, even if he will suffer losses, he will not lose much.

Meng Zitao didn't expect to be crooked, he said with a smile: "Mr. Mi doesn't need to be polite, it's just a matter of duty." ”
