Chen Zhongfeng said with a gloomy expression: "That time, my father didn't go down because of a sudden illness, and my grandfather, including some relatives, were all trapped in it, and only my uncle (Chen Xiangyi) and two other relatives escaped. ”

"Moreover, after coming out, one of the relatives immediately went crazy, and kept shouting that there was a ghost to kill them, although Chen Xiangyi and the other relative were very sober, but they avoided talking about this matter, and did not say anything, and finally they were forced by everyone to have no choice, so they told the old patriarch of our village at that time. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zitao was very curious and interjected: "Did your old patriarch tell you the reason for the matter?"

Chen Zhongfeng shook his head: "It's strange, he didn't say it, and personally suppressed this matter, and asked everyone not to talk about it." ”

This incident made Meng Zitao feel very strange, and he couldn't help asking, "What about later?"

Chen Zhongfeng said: "Later, the matter was over, but he still had some conscience, sold his family's things, and distributed the money to those relatives, my father didn't ask for the money because he wanted to know the truth, but he just didn't say it." Later, my father lost his affection for the antiques business because of this incident, and changed his career to his current business. ”

"It's been a long time, right, and he doesn't want to talk about it?"

"Yes, it's been almost twenty years. Chen Zhongfeng said: "Moreover, not only did he not want to say it, once when he was drinking with my father, he also said that it was because my father did not go down that so many people died, and it seemed to have become my father's responsibility!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongfeng looked very angry.

"Well, that's why you're disgusted with him?"

"It's not just that. Chen Zhongfeng said: "You don't know, the other two relatives who survived at the beginning died one after another, and when they died, they were more painful, which made me determined to find the answer to this matter, and I hated him even more!"

Seeing that Meng Zitao was a little puzzled, Chen Zhongfeng said: "Do you think that my relationship with him is not like what I said? Actually, I am going undercover." ”

Chen Zhongfeng said a little helplessly, because he also knew that with Chen Xiangyi's cleverness and tone, the chance of getting an answer was actually very slim, but as long as there was a little hope, he would not give up.

Meng Zitao patted Chen Zhongfeng on the shoulder and said: "I said, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, and I think that your uncle, you are actually quite a good person, he should also know a little bit of your thoughts, since he chose not to say it, there must be a reason, sometimes, knowing is much more painful than not knowing." ”

"I must investigate this matter clearly, no matter how difficult it is!" Chen Zhongfeng said firmly.

Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, it seems that Chen Zhongfeng's personality is very stubborn with his grandfather.

"As a friend, if there is anything that needs my help, just tell me that as long as I can, I will definitely help. ”

"Thank you!" Chen Zhongfeng expressed his gratitude and said with a smile: "I have something I want to trouble you now, don't tell anyone about it." ”

After all, it is not a good thing to fight thieves, even if it has been washed for many years, it will be looked down upon if it is spread out, and it is even possible to get burned, Chen Zhongfeng just held it for too long because of this matter, and after several times of contact, he felt that Meng Zitao was a good person, so he said this.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who chews the root of my tongue." ”

Chen Zhongfeng smiled: "I'm still more relieved about you." ”

The army that was driving said, "Where are we going next?"

"Wait for me to answer the phone. ”

Chen Zhongfeng took out his mobile phone: "Hey, what's going on?...... Where are you now? Okay, I'll be right over. ”

"What, what's wrong?" Meng Zitao heard a female voice on the phone, and was a little curious.

Chen Zhongfeng first told Dajun an address, Dajun entered the address into the navigation, and Chen Zhongfeng continued: "You should have an impression of the Duan Liang you told you yesterday, right?"

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao nodded, and said in his heart, I had seen it in the morning.

Chen Zhongfeng said: "He got into a fight with a stall owner on our side, and he went into shock, and it is said that his injuries are very serious, and now he needs a fee, and his wife is now selling things to raise money." ”

"Ah!" Meng Zitao was very surprised: "That little thing, how can it be like this?"

Chen Zhongfeng was very strange when he heard this: "What, do you know what's going on?"

So, Mencius Tao told what happened.

Chen Zhongfeng was very speechless, and said: "Although Lao Yu is not kind to do business, it can be regarded as decent, I have basically never seen him cheat people, it should be just a coincidence, Duan Liangzhen is too suspicious." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Later, didn't they go to the bureau to solve it, why did the two of them fight again." ”

Chen Zhongfeng said: "It is estimated that the price cannot be negotiated, Lao Yu is also a little tempered, and the two are estimated to fight if they disagree." ”

Meng Zitao thought that this might be the case, and then asked, "Then why did his wife think of contacting you in the first place?"

"Brother Meng, I said can you stop saying that, as if I have a leg with her. ”

Chen Zhongfeng laughed, and then said: "As for why she contacted me, I am a well-known porcelain lover in the circle, if the thing is good, and you want to sell it for a good price temporarily, you must be right to look for me." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "You are not afraid of being said to be a mallet by others." ”

Chen Zhongfeng said with a smile: "I'm not so stupid, I still know what the price is, at most the things are good, I will be willing to be more expensive, but it is also within a certain range, if you want me to suffer, you have to weigh it." ”

"And what is it this time?"

"It is said that it is a Jun kiln rose purple glaze drum nail three-legged wash. ”

Meng Zitao was surprised: "This guy still has such a good thing in his hand?"

Chen Zhongfeng sighed: "Who said it wasn't, I was also shocked at first, but whether the thing is genuine or not, I have to go to see it to know, and I feel that the possibility of being genuine is not very large, this time I have to ask you for help." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it didn't matter, which also made him gain some knowledge.

After a while, the car stopped, and the place I came to was very close to the Yingdu Museum, because I had been here once before when I was playing, so Meng Zitao was not unfamiliar with this place.

After that, led by Chen Zhongfeng, he walked to an antique shop on the side of the road.

Inside the store, a man and a woman were standing near the door, with different expressions, and the woman seemed to be anxiously waiting for something.

When Chen Zhongfeng approached the antique shop, the woman hurriedly greeted him, and the man followed.

The woman is Duan Liangzhen's wife Li Hui, although she is also thirty-seven or eighteen years old, she has a baby face, she looks much smaller than Duan Liangzhen, and she looks dignified, she looks very temperamental, and she doesn't know how to be chased by Duan Liangzhen, a lewd man, so that Meng Zitao couldn't help but sigh, and the flowers were inserted in the cow dung.

After a few words of greeting, Li Hui led everyone into the store.

Meng Zitao followed into the store and found that this store was just a relatively ordinary antique store, and the things on the shelves on both sides did not look like good things at a glance, and the types were also relatively mixed, giving people a sense of unevenness.

Generally speaking, if the things in the antique store are not rich, they can't keep old customers, and they can't attract new lovers.

Meng Zitao felt that if it was him, if there was nothing at the bottom of the box, he would not visit this store again if he came once or twice, and he didn't know what the owner of this store thought.

The man who followed Li Hui was the owner of this store, in his fifties, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked a little old, according to Zheng Zhongfeng, this person was actually Li Hui's cousin, and it should be Li Hui who was worried about his loss and asked the man to help check it.

"Zheng Shao, please here, the things are ready, so please take a look. Li Hui said very enthusiastically, and led everyone into an inner room.

I saw that on the table in the room, there was a purple dazzling three-legged wash, Zheng Zhongfeng's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he walked forward quickly, and carefully picked up things to admire.

After more than 20 minutes, Zheng Zhongfeng put down his things with a happy face, and then asked Meng Zitao to take a look.

This three-legged washer has a shallow belly, a flat bottom, and a three-legged head and feet. The rim of the mouth and near the bottom are nailed around the drum for a week. The whole body is glazed, the outside of the vessel is a kiln color change of sky blue and rose purple glaze blending, the purple and blue glaze inside the vessel, the edge and the convex ridge are brown, and the center of the vessel has earthworm mud patterns. The bottom is engraved with the word "nine", and there is a circle of nail burn marks.

The earliest Jun kilns were only plain blue, and from the end of the 11th century, Jun porcelain began to be decorated with purple and red spots, which is the effect of coating the glaze with copper oxide before kiln firing. This vessel represents a group of moulded kiln washes, flower pots and pots, made of duplex moulds, some of which are engraved with numbers 1 to 10 under the underglaze. From the museum collection and the excavation of the Juntai kiln site, these numbers should be related to the size of the artifact, with "ten" being the smallest and "one" being the largest.

The dating of this type of porcelain is quite controversial, and in recent years, most scholars have come to the conclusion that this type of numbered Jun porcelain should be fired between the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. It is worth noting that Jun kilns have never been mentioned in the literature before the Yuan Dynasty in China, but they frequently appear in the writings of the later Ming Dynasty. If this type of Jun porcelain is compared with other kilns (including cultural relics unearthed from the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty), it can be inferred that the numbered Jun porcelain should be used by the court in the early Ming Dynasty, which also explains why a considerable number of heirloom Jun porcelain came from the old court collection.

Of course, this is a statement, and Mencius has reservations about it. (To be continued.) )
