Lao Niu hadn't thought about this matter carefully before, but now that Meng Zitao raised it, he immediately reacted, this is a certain thing, so he said helplessly: "Anyway, let's go to the appraisal first, and then talk about it, the next thing, look at it step by step, at least there is hope to atone for your sins in the future."

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, then let's leave tomorrow morning, and I will contact you then." ”

"Good ......"

Early the next morning, Meng Zitao got his documents as promised.

He Wanyi looked at the documents and said in surprise: "You are actually a researcher in the Forbidden City, and you are also a senior researcher, I guarantee that if you take it out, others will definitely suspect that you bought it from a fake certificate." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's easy to solve, they don't believe it, just call to check." And to tell you the truth, I like to make a lot of money in silence, and this kind of certificate is really not uncommon for me. ”

He Wanyi smiled: "You have to sell cheaply." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, and then said: "Since the documents have been obtained, let's go, strive to solve the matter as soon as possible, and let's go to Taodu." ”

"Hmm. ”

The army had already returned yesterday afternoon, and today he drove as usual, took Meng Zitao and them, went to pick up the old cow, and then set off for Xicheng.

It was still early to arrive in Xicheng, and because Meng Zitao was short of time, they simply went directly to the police station where Lao Niu's friend was imprisoned.

When they arrived at the door, Lao Niu's friend's wife and her brother had already arrived.

Lao Niu first introduced the two parties, and then Lao Niu's friend's wife told him about the current situation.

Before Lao Niu made a collection, he was actually a Chinese teacher in a high school, and he had taught books for more than ten years, and he was also a peach and plum all over the world, plus his friends and students were not bad, so he also had some connections, but he was a nerd in the end and didn't know how to communicate, so people he knew could help with a small favor, but he couldn't help with a big favor.

Because of this, Lao Niu's friend is now detained, but the application for re-appraisal was approved immediately, just waiting for Meng Zitao and their arrival.

However, when Lao Niu introduced that Meng Zitao was the expert who came to help with the appraisal today, the other party was obviously stunned and looked incredible.

Meng Zitao didn't say much, and directly showed his certificate, which made them feel at ease, but it was still a little incredible, and at the same time a little worried, after all, there is a kind of person called Guanhu in these years, who knows how Meng Zitao's certificate came from, but thinking that the person was brought by Lao Niu, it must be powerful to himself.

The group walked into the police station and found the police officer who was in charge of handling the case of Lao Niu's friend.

"This is an expert from the Forbidden City?" the police officer handling the case listened to the introduction, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Meng Zitao was not surprised by this, took out his ID and handed it over: "Officer Xu, you can call the Forbidden City to verify the authenticity of my ID." ”

When Officer Xu saw Meng Zitao's calm appearance, he also believed a little in his heart, but what should be done must be done, and they can't decide what the other party says.

Seeing that it was indicated on the certificate that Meng Zitao's identity was actually a senior researcher, Officer Xu was even more surprised, but on the other hand, Meng Zitao is definitely not simple, either with a strong background or strong ability, and he thinks that both situations are possible.

asked people to verify Meng Zitao's identity, and after learning that there was no problem, Officer Xu was also polite to Meng Zitao, and then asked people to bring the jade artifact.

When Meng Zitao was about to make an appraisal, an old man who was nearly sixty years old walked in.

When Officer Xu saw the old man, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Teacher Ouyang, why are you free to come here today?"

Teacher Ouyang said with a smile: "I happened to be running errands nearby today, and I heard that the moire pei is going to be re-identified, so come and take a look and learn from the expert teacher." ”

As soon as Meng Zitao heard that this person's surname was Ouyang, he knew who this person was, it was Ouyang Wei, a member of the expert group of the local museum appraisal team who had previously identified jade.

"It's strange to believe you, isn't it just relying on someone in the bureau to report to you!" Officer Xu muttered in his heart, and then introduced: "This is Mr. Meng, an expert from the Forbidden City." ”

When Ouyang Wei saw Meng Zitao, he was obviously stunned, and then blurted out: "When did the Forbidden City have such a young expert?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I don't know if there was one before, but now there is." ”

Officer Xu took over and said, "Teacher Meng is indeed an expert in the Forbidden City. ”

Ouyang Wei was a little angry when he heard this, he has applied for so many years, but he has not been able to enter the Forbidden City, what qualifications do you have to become an expert in the Forbidden City?

If Meng Zitao knew Ouyang Wei's thoughts, he would definitely laugh, just rely on your Ouyang Wei's appraisal style, and don't think about entering the Forbidden City for the rest of your life.

Seeing that Ouyang Wei was still about to say more, Meng Zitao was short of time, so he didn't want to talk to him about anything, and said, "Officer Xu, then I'll start the appraisal." ”

The gouyun-shaped jade pendant is named because it has a hollow cirrus cloud-shaped hole, and it is a representative jade artifact of the Hongshan culture period.

This piece of hook cloud-shaped jade pendant is flat and thin as a whole, rectangular, and the front is decorated with tile grooves, and the decoration is symmetrical and neat. The face of the beast has swirling eyes and fangs, and the dragon's head on both sides can be vaguely found. This kind of symmetrical, toothed animal face pattern should be a pattern of animal totem, which was used by the ancients as an artifact for totem sacrifice at that time.

As soon as the thing came into his eyes, Mencius Tao was basically sure that this was an old object that had opened the door to the generation, and after careful study, it confirmed this judgment, and there was no problem with the ability, he really couldn't understand, how could such an object that opened the door to the generation be identified as a fake?

Seeing Meng Zitao put down the things in his hand, Lao Niu's friend's wife and daughter hurriedly asked, "Teacher, I don't know if this jade is real?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "It is indeed genuine." ”

Meng Zitao's affirmative reply made her happy, while Ouyang Wei frowned, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "This is not right, how can it be genuine?"

"How is it impossible?"

Meng Zitao was very unimpressed with experts like Ouyang Wei, and spoke directly with the facts, and said eloquently: "The production process of jade in Hongshan culture, in addition to using bamboo, hardwood, teeth, and bone utensils to drive the mortar, the polishing of jade mainly uses leather to drive the extremely fine jade mortar. ”

"When operating, the two ends of the leather piece are pulled by hand, and the mortar is pressed back and forth to drive the grinding, so the edge of the jade leaves a dull edge. In addition to the above-mentioned methods, the Yin line carving of jade may also be completed with animal ribs to drive the jade sand. The grooves on the surface of the jade are completed with stone tools or wooden sticks to drive the jade sand. ”

"Because of the use of special tools and methods to ponder jade, the general characteristics of Hongshan culture jade are strong and powerful, and they are extremely wonderful. This is not only a creative invention, but also leaves a basis for today's identification of the authenticity of Hongshan cultural jade. On this piece of jade, it perfectly embodies the production process of Hongshan culture jade, I don't know Mr. Ouyang, how do you think it's wrong?"

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao looked at Ouyang Wei and said with disdain in his heart: "Hey, you are still worthy of being a member of the museum's expert appraisal team!"

Ouyang Wei noticed Meng Zitao's eyes, he felt very uncomfortable, and he also had a reason to refute, saying: "What you said is true, but these don't mean anything, at least I know that someone can use the Hongshan jade handmade with primitive tools to reach this level." But craftsmanship is one thing, how do you explain the slurry?"

Meng Zitao laughed: "Isn't this jade quite normal?" The ruins of the Hongshan culture are close to the desert area, the wind and sand are strong, and the air is dry, so there are more dry kilns there, and the jade unearthed in the tomb will not appear to be stained, pulp, etc., Mr. Ouyang, don't you even know this?"

Ouyang Wei sneered: "If you say normal, it's normal?"

Meng Zitao said: "I don't know what Mr. Ouyang's high opinion is? Or do you think that there are problems with the jade artifacts of the Hongshan culture in the dry kilns in the collections of major museums in the world?"

Ouyang Wei was a little speechless, and at the same time, because of Meng Zitao's aggressive attitude, he was very angry in his heart, and some of them competed with Meng Zitao, but immediately he thought that if he won the battle, it would be better to say, where to put his old face if he lost?

So, Ouyang Wei simply brushed his sleeves and left, feeling angry in his heart: "Hmph!

Meng Zitao looked down on people like Ouyang Wei in his heart, if Ouyang Wei wanted to argue, he would definitely accompany him to the end, since Ouyang Wei was gone, he didn't bother to take care of it, and said to Officer Xu with a smile: "Officer Xu, I'll give you circumstantial evidence, Teacher Wang's side should be fine, right?"

This police officer Xu was obviously very familiar with antiques, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Meng, if it is just a simple antique, with your circumstantial evidence, after we register and deal with it, Teacher Wang can go out immediately, but you should also know the value of this jade, can Teacher Wang prove the innocence of this thing?"

Teacher Wang's wife was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Officer Xu, this jade was not stolen or robbed, it was bought by my old Wang Zhen's money." ”

Officer Xu explained: "But he is an unearthed cultural relic, and according to the laws and regulations of our country, it is not allowed to be bought and sold, unless Mr. Wang can point out who sold it to him, otherwise he will be in trouble." ”

Teacher Wang's wife asked, "What if I can't find it?"

Officer Xu gave an apologetic expression, the meaning of which was self-evident, and then said: "In this way, I will ask Mr. Wang to come over, and you will also do his work, so that he must not make mistakes." ”

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Wang's wife hurriedly thanked him.

After a while, Mr. Wang was brought over.

Mr. Wang's real name is Wang Zhishun, and he listened to Lao Niu's introduction on the road before, and Meng Zitao also learned about his family's situation.

Wang Zhishun is very obsessed with ancient jade, believing that this is the crystallization of human civilization and an irreplaceable part of history, and at the same time, he can also study history and show history, so he spends his spare money on the collection of ancient jade.

Because of this, his family now lives in the house assigned to him by the school in the last century, with 60 square meters, but a considerable part of the area is used by him to place the collection and related things, in fact, as long as he sells a few pieces of his collection, he can change to a much better environment, but he just refuses.

Wang Zhishun's appearance and dress can also show that his life is not rich, wearing a yellowed white shirt that has long been washed, the collar and cuffs are polished, and the lower body is wearing a pair of green army pants, which are of good quality, but they have also been washed white.

Just like him, if it weren't for the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he would be no different from the old farmers in the yellow earth.

After Wang Zhishun was brought to the room, Officer Xu told Wang Zhishun about the situation, and although Wang Zhishun was surprised by Meng Zitao's youth, he still shook Meng Zitao's hand tightly with excitement.

"Teacher Meng, Lao Niu, thank you so much this time. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that you are welcome.

Lao Niu said: "It's also your things to fight for, otherwise we can't do anything." ”

After chatting a few words, everyone brought the topic to business, and Wang Zhishun heard that he wanted him to say the seller, and he hesitated for a while.

Wang Zhishun's wife suddenly became angry: "When is this happening, do you have to stay in it for a few years before you are willing?"

Officer Xu said: "Mr. Wang, you also know that we have always been frank and lenient, and we are strict in resisting, you have your own life, and you don't want to let yourself be imprisoned for criminals, right?"

Don't look at Wang Zhishun, who is usually very nerdy, and is easy to resist when he encounters some things, but in the face of these policemen, he is as afraid as a tiger, not to mention, it is still about himself now, so he immediately agreed.

Seeing that Wang Zhishun agreed, everyone was also relieved, and then Officer Xu asked people to help Wang Zhishun go through the formalities, and invited Meng Zitao out.

"Teacher Meng, I wonder if I can ask you for a favor?"

"What?"

"I'd like to ask you to help identify a piece of porcelain, I wonder if that's okay?"

"Okay, I'll take a look first. ”

Officer Xu was very happy, took Meng Zitao to a nearby room, and asked someone to bring another piece of porcelain.

This is a piece of pastel porcelain, and the bottom is Qianlong's style, but Meng Zitao knew at a glance that this was the Jiaqing period.

In the Jiaqing Dynasty, the porcelain imperial kiln factory had no pottery supervisor who was in charge of its affairs. It was also managed by the magistrate, and the production of porcelain was in a conservative state. Although Emperor Qianlong has abdicated the throne, he still used the status of "Emperor Taishang" to deter the government for 5 years.

Therefore, the firing of the imperial kiln factory in the early years of Jiaqing is only the continuation of Qianlong porcelain, and its modeling style, pattern, etc., are all because of the old system of the previous dynasty, and dare not transgress, so there is a "dry, Jiayao" said, and the variety and quantity are far less than the Qianlong prosperous era.

However, compared with Qianlong pastel, Jiaqing pastel is still a little different, for example, this pastel porcelain is thicker, the glaze is not flat enough, the color is thicker, the lines of the pattern decoration are thicker, and the turquoise glaze applied to the mouth and foot is darker.
