Chapter 339: The Origin of the Guanyin Bottle
"Whatever you want. ”
Anyway, Yuan Lin can't lose money by buying this kind of thing, it's just to occupy some funds and places, Meng Zitao smiled, and didn't say anything.
Along the way, the two discussed the knowledge of antiques, of course, in this process, Yuan Lin was basically asking, and Meng Zitao was talking. When he was about to arrive at the hotel, Meng Zitao's erudition made Yuan Lin admire him with five bodies.
Back to the hotel, everyone had dinner, and went back to their respective rooms, Meng Zitao hurriedly took out the Guanyin bottle, and when he was about to study, the mobile phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was a local phone number.
"Is this Mr. Meng?"
"Yes, who are you?" Meng Zitao felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
"I'm Qian Lin Li. ”
"Oh, it's Mr. Qian. Meng Zitao smiled and asked, "How is your brother doing now?"
"The operation was successful, and the doctor said that if it was half an hour late, my brother would not be able to save him, and in addition, thanks to you to stop the bleeding in time. ”
"That's good. "Meng Zitao is also very happy that people are okay.
"Your brother saved his life, and on behalf of our family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. ”
"Mr. Qian, don't be so polite, I'm just doing it......"
After a few polite words between the two sides, Qian Linli asked, "Mr. Meng, I wonder if you have time tomorrow?"
"Is there something going on?"
"I want to invite you to my house for a light meal tomorrow, and there is one more thing I want you to do me a favor, I wonder if it is okay?"
"What's the matter?"
"That's the case, my ancestor was actually the landlord of our village, and he also passed down several treasures at the beginning, although a lot was lost during that time, and a few things were hidden by my grandmother and passed on to the present. Now my brother's family is in some difficulty, so he wants to sell his things, I wonder if you can help me take a look?"
Meng Zitao felt a little strange in his heart and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, should the cost be borne by the party responsible for the incident?"
Qian Lin Li smiled bitterly: "The car that caused the accident is in the name of our company as a ruffian, if there is insurance, there is an insurance company to help compensate, but the car is not even complete with procedures, and you can't pay any money if you look for Cao Guangfa." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Since it is his company, the monk can't run the temple if he can run, right?"
Qian Linli was very helpless: "He dragged it and didn't give it, there was no way to take him, we ordinary people couldn't compete with him, we really had to force him to be anxious, and life couldn't be peaceful." ”
"In that case, it's too cheap for him. ”
"It can't be so cheap, but I can't do it for a while, and my nephew is about to buy a house and get married, so he can only sell it. Actually, if it's small, I'll bring it to the city tomorrow, the key thing is too big, and we're not professionals, we don't know how to transport it, so I can only trouble you to come over. ”
"Okay, then I'll go over tomorrow. ”
"Mr. Meng, thank you so much. ”
"You're welcome ......"
After chatting a few words, Meng Zitao hung up the phone, and then set his eyes on the strange Guanyin bottle.
He took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the Guanyin bottle from the inside out, but still found nothing. Moreover, there is no trace of any hidden glaze or anything like that on the surface.
In other words, just such an ordinary bottle can provide so much aura, Meng Zitao felt that this was obviously impossible, and there must be secrets that he had not yet discovered.
Meng Zitao thought about it for a while, and prepared to start with the figure painting on the surface of the Guanyin bottle, maybe he could find some useful clues.
As mentioned earlier, judging from the content, this should be a story about filial piety, and the appearance of the mother and son in the three paintings has not changed, it should be about the same mother and son.
Basically, the contents of the blue and white figures on the vase like this have a provenance, so you should be able to guess which story it is based on the content of the painting.
First of all, the first one, the son was fanning his bedridden mother, which reminded Meng Zitao of a famous filial piety story, fanning the pillow and Wen Shu.
This story, as many people know, is about the Han Dynasty, when there was a man named Huang Xiang in Jiangxia, who was just nine years old and already knew the truth of filial piety to his elders.
Whenever the hot summer comes, fan your parents' tents to make the pillows and mats cooler and keep mosquitoes away. In the cold winter, I use my body to warm my parents' quilt so that my parents can sleep warmly. Therefore, the deeds of Huang Xiang spread to the capital, known as "unparalleled in the world, Jiangxia Huangxiang".
Of course, judging from the age of the son in the painting, as well as the latter two paintings, the story of Fan Pillow Wen Shu is not related, but it should also be a clue.
In the second painting, the son is walking barefoot with his mother on his back, judging from the scenery in the painting, the weather should be relatively cold at this time, the son is thinly dressed, and the mother's clothes are thick, and the meaning is self-evident.
In the last picture, the mother and son weep with joy, why do they cry with joy? Judging from the situation of the characters in the painting, it should be that the mother is cured.
Understanding the meaning of these three paintings, Meng Zitao began to recall which story it was, but because there were too few hints, although Meng Zitao felt that the content seemed to be somewhat familiar, he just couldn't remember it for a while.
There was no way, Meng Zitao could only continue to observe, hoping to find more clues.
"Huh?"
Meng Zitao's eyes lit up, and he found a new clue, in the first two paintings, the mother's eyes were closed, and the third mother's eyes were open, indicating that the mother was likely to suffer from eye disease before, and it was later cured, which made the mother and son cry with joy.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Zitao found that in the third picture, the son seemed to be holding something in his hand, and after looking closely, it seemed to be a bottle.
Could it be that the bottle in the picture has something to do with the Guanyin bottle in front of you?
Meng Zitao shook his head, other things were put aside first, and now the most important thing is to figure out which story the pattern is from.
First of all, this Guanyin bottle is not unexpected, it should be from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Some friends may find it strange, doesn't it say that the Guanyin bottle was only popular in the Qing Dynasty?
You should also see the word "popular", in fact, the Guanyin bottle is not the shape of the Qing Dynasty, there are also Guanyin bottles in the Ming Dynasty, but the style is not the same.
Let's just say that this Guanyin bottle, judging from the style to the hair color of the green material, as well as the fetal quality, is indeed the style of the Jiajing period, that is to say, it is not surprising that the Zuò era should be that period.
Then, the age of the story should not be later than the Jiajing period, and even the Jiajing period should be excluded, after all, in ancient times, the spread of stories had to take a certain amount of time.
But considering the strangeness of this Guanyin bottle, Mencius did not directly exclude the stories of the Jiajing period, but started with various novels written during the Jiajing period.
"There it is!"
It didn't take long for Mencius to think of a story about filial piety, but he felt a little unbelievable, because he saw that story from an anonymous novel in the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that he guessed the wrong age of this Guanyin bottle, it should be the Qing Dynasty?
But it shouldn't be, his eyesight is much higher now than before, and it shouldn't be possible that there will be problems with the generation.
Meng Zitao couldn't figure it out, so he put this matter aside and solved the story first.
The story is that there was a filial son during the Jiajing period, because his father died early, he and his mother have been dependent on each other since childhood, and he has been very filial to his mother since he was a child.
There were unforeseen circumstances, and his mother accidentally fell on the one he was about to become an adult, and as a result, he broke out of his eye.
Since then, in order to cure his mother's eye disease, this filial son has found many famous doctors who can't cure it, during which he has suffered a lot, but he has no complaints, and taking care of his mother is his first priority.
In the end, filial piety's behavior touched a passing Taoist priest and gave him a bottle, saying that as long as the bottle is filled with water before the time of the day every day, two drops of spiritual liquid will be left in the bottle at noon, and the eyes will be washed with spiritual liquid, and after 7749 days, the eye disease will be cured.
The filial son did what he said, and sure enough, as the Taoist priest said, after 7749 days, his mother's eye disease was cured. However, within a few days, the bottle was gone, and the mother and son guessed that the Taoist priest had taken the bottle back and released it.
The content on the Guanyin bottle can correspond to this story one by one, does that mean that the Guanyin bottle in front of you is the bottle that will generate spiritual liquid in the story?
Meng Zitao's first thought was that this possibility was very small, because it was too mysterious, how could there be a bottle that could automatically generate spiritual liquid, and this was not an artifact of the immortal family? If this was true, then the legendary immortals would also store zài.
However, Meng Zitao thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing strange about this, he even had abilities, what else could not happen?
Besides, if it's not the bottle in the story, just fill it with water and wait for twelve hours to know.
Next, Meng Zitao recalled again and found that in addition to the stories mentioned above, he did not find any other similar stories, and he could only be a dead horse doctor for the time being.
Since he had to go to Qian Lin Li's side tomorrow, it was not convenient for Meng Zitao to be practical, so he put the things in the safe in the room and stored them first.
After sleeping until dawn, after Meng Zitao washed up, he fought a few times of boxing, and then went to find Yuan Lin to have breakfast together.
"Mr. Yuan, did Qian Lin Li call you yesterday?" asked Meng Zitao.
"Call me. ”
"Are you going to go, then?"
Yuan Lin said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Meng, I'm really sorry, I have an important guest in my house and wants to go back immediately, so I can't compensate you for it." In this way, when you go back, call me and I will book you a train ticket. ”
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Mr. Yuan, you're welcome, I didn't help you this time, I came to Jianzhou for a tour." ”
Yuan Lin shook his head again and again and said: "No, we have already talked about this matter, and I have covered the round-trip tickets." ”
Seeing that Yuanlin insisted, Meng Zitao was not very easy to refuse, so he agreed.
After breakfast, the two went back, and Yuanlin forced Meng Zitao to give a red envelope as an appraisal fee, originally this time Yuanlin did not receive any satisfactory objects, but Meng Zitao got a priceless treasure, and it was really unpleasant to accept the red envelope again, and Meng Zitao also pushed it away.
"Mr. Yuan, we are not a temporary friendship, you don't have to be like this, one day I will help you receive a baby, and then you will wrap a big red envelope for me." ”
Yuan Lin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words first." ”
Yuan Lin packed his luggage and set off for the train station.
"Aze, what's the matter?" Meng Zitao was about to call a taxi to Xizhuang when he received a call from Shu Ze.
"Why, I can't call you if it's okay?"
"It's the May Day holiday, don't you accompany your family?"
"She's a busy person, why do you want me to accompany her!"
"Why do I feel a sour breath in my face?"
Meng Zitao teased, he now knows some about Shu Ze and his fiancée, the two are childhood sweethearts, and Shu Ze's fiancée has liked him since she was a child, but Shu Ze ignores his fiancée.
However, after going to college, Shu Ze discovered many advantages of his fiancée and gradually liked it, but because his attitude was too bad before, there was a gap between the two of them, so the shape was reversed, and Shu Ze spent a lot of effort to make the other party accept him again.
However, there is an old saying that good things are more grinding, and the two should have gotten married this year, but at the end of last year, because of some misunderstandings, the fiancée of the director zhì Shuze had a lot of opinions, so Zheng Anzhi's fiancée did not come over last time for Zheng Anzhi's birthday.
Later, the two got together again, but listening to Shu Ze's tone today, it seemed that there was a contradiction again, and Meng Zitao actually sweated for Shu Ze in his heart, because in the end, he was often unlucky.
Shu Ze reprimanded: "You are sour, I still want to say, why did you run to Jianzhou and not accompany your family." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "She has a good business on holidays, what should I do?"
"Help with business, you don't want to take the initiative to do such a loving thing, I think your brain is an elm pimple, right?"
"you, she's well-staffed, she doesn't need me to help, besides, I don't know anything about those babies and toddlers, and it's a disadvantage to go. Okay, don't bother talking, there's something to say. ”
"Where are you now?"
"What's wrong with the hotel?"
"You wait, I'll be there shortly. ”
"Ah, you're coming to Jianzhou?"
"Don't, we'll talk when we meet. ”
After hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao waited at the door of the hotel for a while, and saw a luxury off-road vehicle parked at the door of the hotel, and Shu Ze stepped out of the car.
Meng Zitao greeted him: "Okay, get in the car, I'm going to go out now." ”
"Where?" asked Shuze.
"Country, the specifics, let's talk about it in the car. ”
"Then you wait for me to go to the bathroom. ”
After a while, Shu Ze walked back and the car set off again.
Meng Zitao said to the driver: "Jiang Xing, let's go to Xizhuang, you can navigate by yourself." (To be continued.) )
