PS: I wish you all a new year!

Meng Zitao quietly returned to his seat, thought about it, and felt that the reason why the slurry of this ancient jade seemed natural was that it was likely to also use something like slurry. As for Tuqin, there have been many ways to imitate it since ancient times, and it can also achieve the current effect.

After guessing the production method of several details, Meng Zitao raised his head, saw the excitement in the eyes of many people around him, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, the boss of this exchange meeting is really a thief, and he actually took out a fake in the second lot, and it is a high imitation, which is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

At this time, Zhang Jingqiang asked in a low voice, "How is this thing?"

As soon as Cheng Qiheng wanted to speak, Meng Zitao gave a vague look, which made everyone slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Zhang Jingqiang immediately understood the trickiness in it, shook his head lightly and said, "Hu Li, this guy, his heart is still so black!"

"Fox?" Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity.

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Gu Yuehu, the benefits are good, but this guy has a good brain, a black heart, and he is also called a fox on the road." If you come into contact with him later, be careful. ”

Meng Zitao said that he understood, but it is impossible for such a character to come into contact with a small person like him now.

Immediately, the auction began, and the result was just as Meng Zitao thought, many people did not see the authenticity of this piece of jade, and rushed to quote the price, and finally the jade was sold for 310,000 yuan.

Meng Zitao saw the elated appearance of the buyer who took the jade bi, and said in his heart, his face may not be so good-looking later.

Sure enough, when the third lot was brought up, the buyer's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of anger.

Seeing this situation, the people around him still didn't understand what was going on, and at the same time, they were a little stunned, but they were also glad that they didn't get hit.

Because of the relationship between the jade and the jade, everyone behaved more cautiously, and some lots were even sold at the starting price.

And the reason why there is no unsuccessful auction is also because there is no such thing as an unsuccessful auction, and if there is no bidder for the lot, the next lot will not be offered. Fortunately, those things are generally only a thousand dollars, and for the big boss, it is just a drizzle, and it is nothing for the organizer to make money.

Of course, the organizers will not go too far, and there are only two or three fake things at a glance. But there are a lot of high imitations, more than half of the auctions, dozens of lots, Meng Zitao alone handled four high imitations, and this only accounts for three-fifths of these lots.

Meng Zitao looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, the first half of the auction was coming to an end, at this time, the waiter brought a piece of evil ornaments, the auctioneer said that it was made in the Han Dynasty.

Evil spirits are a legendary beast that resembles a lion but has wings. The ancients believed that the divine beast had supernatural power and could drive away evil spirits and protect their bodies, so they stood in front of the tomb in pairs with the stone carvings of evil spirits and Tianlu, and also commonly used jade three-dimensional round carvings to ward off evil spirits and ward off evil spirits.

Meng Zitao came to the stage to take a look, this piece of evil ornament is not big, about ** cm long, carved with good and Khotanese white jade.

Its shape is different from other upward head to ward off evil spirits, rarely stretch out the head to the left to look, and the knife work is delicate, the image is realistic, the demeanor is powerful and vivid, vigorous and powerful. It embodies the superb skills of the craftsmen and has the style of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, there is rust in many places on the ornaments, and there are obvious orange peel lines, which should look genuine.

Meng Zitao walked to his seat, and Zhang Jingqiang asked in a low voice, "Xiao Meng, how is this thing?"

During this period of time, Zhang Jingqiang found that Meng Zitao's judgment was quite accurate, and generally he said that it was a fake, and everyone basically didn't talk much.

This made Zhang Jingqiang somewhat surprised, Cheng Qiheng has such good eyesight at such a young age, and that is because of his grandfather's teaching. Meng Zitao actually has such good eyesight, and he is self-taught.

What's more, in addition to being good at cultural toys, Meng Zitao also has a lot of insights into other types of antiques, which is rare among young people.

Therefore, Zhang Jingqiang became interested in Meng Zitao and thought that he would have the opportunity to contact more in the future.

Immediately, Meng Zitao gave another look like the previous piece of jade, which surprised everyone again.

Zhang Jingqiang couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Meng, what is the problem?"

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhang, it's almost time to eat anyway, let's talk about this later." ”

Although Zhang Jingqiang was curious, he also knew that it was not convenient to speak here, so he nodded.

At this time, the quotation began on the spot, because many of the people present were bosses, and there were many people interested in warding off evil spirits, and after a while, the price rose to 500,000.

At this time, I heard Zhu Dachang quote: "600,000!"

Seeing Zhu Dachang quote the price, a trace of inexplicable color flashed in Zhang Jingqiang's eyes, and he also said: "700,000!"

After speaking, he also glanced at Zhu Dachang lightly.

Meng Zitao understood what Zhang Jingqiang meant, but Zhang Jingqiang added 100,000 at once, which made him sweat for Zhang Jingqiang.

You know, even if the market price of this ornament is only about one million, and looking at the appearance, this ornament is still unearthed, and the price of 700,000 is almost the top. Meng Zitao was really worried that Zhu Dachang would not follow.

However, Meng Zitao's worries were obviously a little redundant, and after Zhu Dachang lowered his head and asked Xue Wenguang, he made a bid: "Seven hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Seven hundred and thirty thousand!"

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

Zhang Jingqiang accepted it when he saw it, he smiled faintly, and stopped talking.

Zhu Dachang glanced back at Zhang Jingqiang, and felt a little strange in his heart, why did Zhang Jingqiang stop so quickly?

He thought for a moment, turned around and asked, "Master Xue, is there no problem with this ornament?"

Xue Wenguang shook his head: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, I can be sure that there will be no problem with this ornament." ”

Zhu Dachang smiled: "It's okay if it's okay, but I like to say ugly things in front, if there is a problem, I won't be polite." ”

Xue Wenguang immediately swore that he would not make a mistake, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, for fear that something would go wrong.

After the evil ornament was removed, another item was immediately put up, which turned out to be a boxwood bachelor's spring drawing pen holder.

Since it is a literary play, of course Meng Zitao wants to go up and enjoy it.

The growth rate of boxwood is extremely slow, and it is said that the boxwood is one inch long for thousands of years. Ancient texts have long described boxwood, such as "Idle Love": "Boxwood is one inch per year, not overflowing, and shrinking by one inch in leap years, which is the destiny of heaven." ”

Su Shi also wrote a poem: "There are countless springs of grass and trees in the garden, and there is only a leap year of boxwood." ”

The slow growth of boxwood creates a delicate wood, which is similar to ivory over time, so boxwood wood is usually small and bent, and it is rare to see large tools.

Although boxwood is also a precious wood, in the market, it is worse than huanghuali and red sandalwood, plus the auctioneer's introduction is not detailed, and there is no famous family's payment, there are not many people here who are interested in it.

There were only three or four people who came to the stage to watch, except for Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng.

The auctioneer said: "This boxwood bachelor's spring picture pen holder, the starting price is 10,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 each time, and the auction will start now!"

"Thirteen thousand!" Immediately, a middle-aged man quoted the price.

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Eighteen thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand, I said that the shopkeeper of the year, why are you so anxious, don't you know that there is an old saying, called that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?" The price was made by an old man in his fifties, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.

"Forty thousand! It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Xia, haven't you heard an idiom that you can't do anything about yourself?" The middle-aged man who made the first offer was the old man's shopkeeper, he not only directly added nine thousand, but also stabbed the old man, needless to say, there must be some contradiction between the two.

At this time, Cheng Qiheng chuckled and said: "These two people's stores are open next door, why don't you know the truth that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they always have to fight every opportunity." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, he also knew these two people, in fact, there was no big contradiction between them at all, they just didn't look at each other well, they dismantled each other at every opportunity, and they made a few jokes, sometimes it's funny to think about.

The price rose alternately, and after a while, it reached sixty-eight thousand, which is not cheap for a somewhat unknown boxwood pen holder, and the shopkeeper Xia also seemed a little hesitant, whether he wanted to follow.

Seeing that the time was not early, the auctioneer said: "Sixty-eight thousand, the boss of the year bid sixty-eight, who else ......"

Just as he was saying this, Meng Zitao said, "Sixty thousand nine!"

This is still the first price reported by Meng Zitao, and many people present looked back and found that he was sitting between Cheng Qiheng and Zhang Jingqiang, thinking that he was a rich second generation, and then turned around and ignored it.

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, thought about it, and said, "Seventy thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty-one ......"

A moment later, as Meng Zitao shouted out the price of 90,000, the shopkeeper sighed lightly, but he didn't expect to kill a Cheng biting gold halfway!

"Ninety thousand!"

Just when everyone thought that this pen holder was about to fall into Meng Zitao's hands, they heard someone quote the price, and it was none other than Xue Wenguang, and he turned his head and glanced at Meng Zitao contemptuously.

However, Xue Wenguang joined in, but everyone here was a little puzzled, Meng Zitao participated in the competition, it was nothing, and a palm-eyed master of yours actually participated in the auction, what is the reason?

Besides, just now those few people came to the stage to appraise the treasure, you Xue Wenguang didn't even come up to take a look, and you actually made a quotation, which is really strange.

Of course, everyone is a smart person, and they immediately understood that Xue Wenguang was likely to have an enmity with this young man and wanted to trap him.
