"There will be a time when you cry!"

Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, and on the surface he was still so unimpressed, and asked Li Jingfu: "Shopkeeper Li, I don't know if you can cut this jade artifact." ”

Originally, Li Jingfu was still worried that Meng Zitao would be angry with him, especially Meng Zitao's indifferent reaction, which made him even more worried about whether Meng Zitao would settle accounts after the autumn. Therefore, when he heard that Meng Zitao wanted to buy this jade, he didn't think much about it and agreed.

Meng Zitao said that he would go to settle the bill immediately, Li Jingfu was worried about what conflict would happen between the two sides next, so he couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly took Meng Zitao and the army downstairs together.

"Fight me?"

Ai Xuan showed a mocking smile on his face, and then patted Zhuo Chenghao's shoulder happily: "Old Zhuo, what are you thinking, let's go too!"

Zhuo Chenghao came back to his senses, and followed Ai Xuan to the staircase, and when he walked to the staircase, he whispered to Ai Xuan: "Old Ai, don't you think Meng Zitao is a little abnormal just now?"

Ai Xuan was immersed in the joy of victory at this time, waved his hand and said, "That's his disguise, otherwise he will show us with a sad face?"

Zhuo Chenghao shook his head: "Then why didn't he defend himself, and didn't listen to us explain why that one was more expensive?"

Ai Xuan also reacted a little when he heard this, because under normal circumstances, he really shouldn't deal with it like that, which made him frown.

On the other side, Li Jingfu took Meng Zitao to the camp platform and said with a smile: "Teacher Meng, what Lao Quan said just now was an offer. If you give it to you, of course, it can't be that price, you just give 250,000. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and excused himself: "This is not appropriate, right?"

Li Jingfu waved his hand: "There is nothing inappropriate about this, I don't believe you ask, which of my friends Li Jingfu has no preferential price?"

"Then I'll be disrespectful. ”

Since Li Jingfu said so. Meng Zitao agreed, of course, the main thing is that Li Jingfu has a good impression on him now. It's just that why Ai Xuan was waiting so coincidentally just now made him feel a little worried about Li Jingfu in his heart.

Meng Zitao paid the money, and saw Ai Xuan and Zhuo Chenghao walking over together, Meng Zitao smiled at the two of them, but he really didn't bother to take care of them.

And Ai Xuan's mind was full of the question Zhuo Chenghao had just asked at this time.

Meng Zitao's expression just now was too indifferent, and it was indeed a little unreasonable. In other words, even if he loses, he will fight with reason.

In addition, the reason why Meng Zitao bought the jade artifact is also a little intriguing, is it because he wants to keep it as a souvenir?

To sum up, Ai Xuan felt more and more that there was something wrong with that jade, could it be that the palm master invited by Li Jingfu looked away. This made him blame himself a little. Why didn't you take a good look at that jade just now?

It was at this time that an old man in his fifties. Hurriedly walked in through the door.

Li Jingfu said hello to the old man: "Bai Lao, aren't you in trouble today?"

Bai Lao exchanged a few words of greeting with everyone, and said to Li Jingfu: "Shopkeeper, borrow it." ”

Li Jingfu followed Bai Lao to the side, and immediately showed a stunned expression on his face.

"What's the matter, that jade has already been sold?" Bai Lao saw Li Jingfu's expression. It seems a little anxious.

Bai Lao's voice was a little loud, although it was far away, Ai Xuan and Zhuo Chenghao also heard it. Even if Bai Lao didn't say what kind of jade it was, the two of them still had a number in their hearts, and naturally looked at Meng Zitao. saw Meng Zitao smile at them.

"Laugh at you ghost, the master and apprentice are all insidious villains!"

Ai Xuan roared in his heart, originally he thought he had won, and he was happily ready to go back and do a few small actions, but he didn't expect that now it is likely to be empty joy, as if he got a beloved toy, and lost it before he started playing, that feeling, as depressed as he wants.

However, he was also a little glad that he didn't wait for himself to make a small move before he realized that he was actually the one who lost, otherwise, he would be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

After Bai Lao learned the truth of the matter from Li Jingfu, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at his bad luck.

"Bai Lao, what's going on with that jade?" Li Jingfu couldn't help but ask.

Bai Lao sighed: "Hey, let's talk about it after we see the real thing." ”

When Li Jingfu heard this, he could only take Bai Lao to Meng Zitao's side, and said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Meng, I'm sorry, there is a little problem on our side, I wonder if you can give us a look at this piece of jade?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, you don't have to say so much, I didn't agree to it." ”

Li Jingfu smiled apologetically, and then took Meng Zitao and them to the reception room.

Ai Xuan and Zhuo Chenghao glanced at each other and followed upstairs.

When he came to the reception room, Li Jingfu invited everyone to sit down, and Meng Zitao also took out the jade from the brocade box.

Bai Lao said hello to Meng Zitao and took the jade in his hand.

This is a piece of jade carved with white jade, the surface of the vessel is slightly sprinkled with gold, its shape is like a peach leaf, divided into two sides of yin and yang, the veins of the yang side are clear, and the yin side is light without lines. The leaf has a stalk at the end of the leaf and a young leaf on each side.

The whole body of jade is covered with pulp and moist, starting with the flow of treasure light, beautiful and unbelievable, its grinding kung fu has entered the peak, the knife lines are subtle and strong, and the carving is exquisite, which can be described as: increase one point is thick, and subtract one point is thin.

After carefully observing the spotted device, Bai Lao sighed: "I am smart but I am mistaken by cleverness!"

Li Jingfu asked, "Bai Lao, what's going on?"

Bai Lao didn't answer directly, and asked Meng Zitao, "Teacher Meng, what do you think?"

By this time, there was nothing to sell, and Mencius said, "If I'm not mistaken, this jade should have come from a Tang Dynasty craftsman." ”

"Tang Dynasty?(How could it be Tang Dynasty?)" Li Jingfu and they all exclaimed.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, due to the development of the Western Regions, Khotanese jade was imported into the interior in large quantities, therefore, the Tang Dynasty jade materials were mainly Khotanese jade.

Although the quantity of jade produced in the Tang Dynasty was small, it was meticulously carved in quality, and its varieties and artistic styles had new developments, with obvious characteristics of inheriting the past and opening up the future.

Therefore, in the market, the price of Tang Dynasty jade has always been good, and if this jade is indeed the real product of the Tang Dynasty, it is worth a lot of money.

Seeing Li Jingfu's surprised appearance, Bai Lao said: "Do you also judge from its appearance, it doesn't look like a Tang Dynasty jade?"

Speaking of which, although the carving process of this jade is very exquisite, it does look too new, and the color is also a bit like a stone skin, which gives Meng Zitao the same feeling at first glance as the Qing Dynasty.

But as soon as you get started, the feeling is completely different, the heavy pulp is not at all formed in a short period of time, and then carefully study the knife work and other aspects, Mencius Tao has a new understanding.

Although everyone didn't admit it, Bai Lao could guess their thoughts and said, "Hey, you are also preconceived, and I don't blame you, you can understand it when you get started." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Zitao and asked for his opinion, and of course Meng Zitao agreed.

Everyone started to observe one after another, and found that it was indeed a very superb work, and judging from the surface of the pulp, it may indeed be a genuine product.

However, Li Jingfu and Ai Xuan didn't know much about Tang Dynasty jade, and Zhuo Chenghao didn't know much about it, and they were a little confused for a while.

So, Li Jingfu said, "Bai Lao, can you please help explain?"

Bai Lao said that there was no problem, and explained to everyone: "The jade of the Tang Dynasty is generally made of very good materials, the carving is delicate, the combination of Chinese and Western modeling styles is more prominent, and the polishing technology is relatively fine. ”

"In addition, the jade carving of the Tang Dynasty absorbed the sculpture and painting techniques of the time in the carving technique, using the traditional shoveling, carving and round carving, and using a large number of Yin carved fine lines, and the details of the Yin carved table were the same as the painting line drawing......

Bai Lao gave a detailed explanation of the carving of this jade, and everyone was basically sure that this was indeed a genuine jade from the Tang Dynasty.

Ai Xuan's chest was a little stuffy when he heard the end, but he felt that he was not without a chance, because although the jade of the Tang Dynasty was good and the market value was also high, the value of the pair of general's jars was more than 800,000, and he really didn't believe that this jade could surpass the pair of general's jars.

At this time, Li Jingfu asked the question of price.

Bai Lao said with a ashamed face: "The value of this jade should be conservatively estimated to be around 1.2 million. ”

"What!" Ai Xuan was stunned, and immediately raised an objection: "Bai Lao, I also think this jade is good, but if you want to say that it can be worth about 1.2 million, I don't think so?"

"There's a reason why I've come up with this price. ”

Bai Lao gave a gesture of calmness and explained: "First of all, the jade of the Tang Dynasty is generally used in green and white jade, and other jade works are very rare, not to mention, such a delicate and warm high-grade jade like this jade, there is a way that rare things are expensive, which adds a lot of points to it." ”

Secondly, the jade of the Tang Dynasty was colorful in terms of decorative patterns, and for the first time there were plant patterns, common flowers and fruits, and there were birds and animals, character ornaments, etc., which were rich in a strong atmosphere of life. But I haven't seen many cases like this in the shape of leaves before, and that's also a plus......"

Bai Lao talked eloquently, pointing out all the aspects he thought were plus, and Ai Xuan was speechless.
