Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Meng Zitao cleared his throat and said: "Let's start with this jade plate of 'bangs and toads', the knife work of this jade brand is tactful and smooth, the knife between the knife and the knife is clean and neat, without hindrance, the appropriate benefits of the use of lines, the character modeling is vivid and accurate, and the layout is ingenious and reasonable."

"Generally speaking, the jade picture is expressive, full of joy, vividly tells the story of the golden toad in the folklore, the jade quality is also the best Khotanese white jade, it should be the fine product made by the palace office in the Qianlong period, conservatively estimated, the current market value is about 350,000. ”

Feng Jiming listened to Meng Zitao's narration, a smile appeared on his face, and he was very satisfied with Meng Zitao's explanation in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhong Yanuo snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.

Feng Jiming was about to go toe-for-tat, so he heard Meng Zitao make a simple comment on Zhong Yanuo's jade, and said: "Although this jade plaque is remarkable in terms of jade quality and carving, there are some problems in terms of color. ”

Zhong Yanuo was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the problem!"

Meng Zitao said: "If I am not mistaken, there is a problem with the color of the jade. The normal color on jade is generally distributed from the surface to the inside, with a sense of layering, agility and transparency, which looks natural and comfortable. The artificially dyed jade is dead in color and attached to the surface, with two skins inside and outside, and there is no sense of layering......"

Zhong Yanuo couldn't wait to say: "How do I think it's natural, maybe you are wrong!"

Feng Jiming sneered: "What is someone in a hurry, doesn't he even have time to wait for Teacher Meng to finish speaking?"

Zhong Yanuo said with a cold face: "What's your business!"

Feng Jiming laughed: "Hey, aren't you talking nonsense? It's none of my business, what am I sitting here!"

Shu Ze saw that the two of them were arguing again, and started a round: "Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, let's listen to Zitao first, okay?"

Shu Ze's words still have to be listened to, but of course Zhong Yanuo and Feng Jiming don't have any good faces for each other.

Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, and then said: "In addition to the fact that the color of this jade is relatively dead and unnatural, the opaque color is also a problem. Of course, there are also some ancient jade that are opaque, but the edges and layers of this kind of Qin are also very clear, not as blurry as artificially stained. ”

In addition, in the color of ancient jade, there is also a situation that after the substance that is immersed or contacted has a chemical reaction with the jade component of the ancient jade, the new substance formed is easy to break away from the jade body, causing the ancient jade to be defected, which is called erosion or corrosion. ”

"And this jade from the style and other aspects, is the Yuan Dynasty period, the real has a history of more than 600 years, generally speaking, such a long time only active or sour and salty substances, can penetrate the jade skin, into the jade, other substances can only be attached to the surface. But if it is this kind of substance, it is impossible for the jade to have only this bit of color, and it is impossible for it to be corroded only like this......"

Meng Zitao pointed to a little bit of corrosion on the jade and explained to everyone, all in all, according to normal circumstances, it is generally impossible for such a situation to occur.

Zhong Yanuo refused to admit defeat and said: "I don't think what you said is wrong, but you also said that this is a general situation, maybe I am a special reason?"

Meng Zitao felt that Zhong Yanuo was a little forceful, but he didn't care, he pointed to Bai Qin next to Huang Qin on the surface of the jade plaque and said: "The upper layer is similar to the hoarfrost on the grape skin, called lime Qin, and the lime Qin is light to form a thin layer of gray-white or blue-gray film on the surface of the jade, which takes four or five hundred years. In the heavier cases, Tamanai begins to turn red, like a child's face, and it takes more than a thousand years to call it 'child's face'. ”

"The inside of this jade has turned red, and it belongs to a relatively heavy lime qin, however, it has only been less than 700 years since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and according to science, it is impossible to form such a heavy lime qin. In addition, the real lime Qin, with a touch of water, the color will disappear, but after the water dries, the color will appear again, whether it is true or false, let's give it a try. ”

Saying that, Meng Zitao was about to get some pure water to try, but he didn't expect Zhong Yanuo to say that he didn't need to try it with a gloomy face, and then he said goodbye to Shu Ze and got up to leave.

At this time, Feng Jiming opened his mouth and asked, "Hey, does what you said before still count?"

Zhong Yanuo looked at Feng Jiming, and said expressionlessly: "I, Zhong, will not be able to play this kind of scoundrel, from now on, our past affairs will be written off, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and hurried away.

"Hey, I really don't have anything to say to Old Zhong. ”

Feng Jiming shook his head and sighed, and then he also made a farewell and expressed his gratitude to Shu Ze and Meng Zitao.

After Feng Jiming left, Meng Zitao asked the question in his heart: "I said Aze, what is going on with the two of them?"

Shu Ze said: "It's quite simple to say, they were friends before, and the relationship was not bad, some time ago, they bought an antique together, and later sold it for a profit." However, some time ago, this antique appeared at an auction and finally sold for six million, and they sold for only two million. ”

It was Feng Jiming who set the price at the beginning, so Zhong Yanuo blamed him, saying that Feng Jiming's eyesight was not good, and he didn't understand it and made a price indiscriminately. Feng Jiming said that when Zhong Yanuo made his offer, he did not object, and similar things have never been auctioned at such a high price, which is completely unpredictable......

That's it, the two of you blame me in the lobby of the hotel, I blame you, the two who were originally friends turned into enemies, and they almost fought.

Shu Ze often goes to that restaurant, and he happened to take Sima Yuelan to dinner that day, and since he knew each other, he also came forward to persuade him. In the end, under the mediation of Shu Ze, they came up with a way, each spending 400,000 yuan to buy a piece of ancient jade, and in the end, the value of the ancient jade was higher than who bought, and the losing party agreed to the conditions of the winning party.

As for what the conditions they said in advance, because they said it in private, Shu Ze didn't know, but it must have a certain connection with the antique.

Hearing that this is the case, Mencius Tao also sighed a little, there is a good saying, only in the face of friendship that can really stand the test, money can be like dung, otherwise money will always be money, but how many friendships in this world can withstand the test of money?

Sima Yuelan said: "I think this matter is still Zhong Yanuo's problem, he agreed to sell the thing at that price, and it didn't matter if he regretted it afterwards, but it would be a bit unreasonable to blame Feng Jiming for everything." ”

Shu Ze smiled slightly: "It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, what is going on between them, who knows what is going on, maybe there is something hidden in it? Okay, regardless of their affairs, let's fill our stomachs first." ”

After the five flavors of the dish, Meng Zitao asked Shu Zedao: "You came over earlier and said that you have something to discuss with me, what is it?"

Shu Ze rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "That's the case, I want to buy your piece of jade as the treasure of my jewelry store, do you think it's okay?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "You have given me a big problem, but why did your mind suddenly change again." ”

The piece of spring colored jadeite worth at least 150 million is quite rare, ordinary people can't see it even if they want to see it, Meng Zitao's original plan was to prepare to collect the jadeite, at least within one or two decades, unless there are special circumstances, otherwise he will not sell it.

He mentioned this idea to Shu Ze several times, but Shu Ze never revealed that he wanted to buy it, so he was a little strange now.

Shu Ze said: "I have always wanted to buy your piece of jadeite, but it has always been dispensable before, but during this time, many people have expressed their desire to buy jadeite jewelry made with it after seeing the jadeite, and some people I am not very easy to refuse, so I ......"

Meng Zitao understood that although Shu Ze's background is very strong, there are many people who are stronger than him in China, and coupled with personal relationships, he is indeed not easy to refuse.

You have to say that Shu Ze can tell others that the jade belongs to Meng Zitao, but in that case, won't it lead trouble to Meng Zitao?

Sima Yuelan glanced at Shu Ze, and said angrily: "You sometimes do things without consideration, you know that there will be such a result, and you still want to borrow Zitao's jade exhibition at the beginning, which is completely self-inflicted!"

Shu Ze smiled bitterly: "I really didn't think about this matter before, I think I just need to make an explanation, Zitao, this matter is indeed my fault with you." ”

"In this way, use that piece of jade to help Wanyi make a set of jewelry, and the rest is yours. Meng Zitao pondered in his heart, jadeite is a dead thing after all, although it is indeed very rare and precious, but maybe he will be able to find a better one in the future? Moreover, Shu Ze usually helps him so much, what is the big deal if he sells jadeite.

Shu Ze immediately patted his chest and promised: "Okay, I will definitely take the best material on it." In addition, the remaining jadeite, I will temporarily increase by 20% to you, and I will count the rest for you in two years. ”

Meng Zitao said angrily: "You are like this, you don't even have to be a friend." ”

Shu Ze laughed and said: "I know that you are righteous enough, but I can't let you suffer, besides, I have never thought of making money from your jadeite, if it weren't for some finished products, I would have to do favors, otherwise I would have no problem selling them for you." ”

Meng Zitao said resolutely: "Forget it, it's not that you don't know what the origin of this piece of jadeite is, I'm already very satisfied with being able to sell so much, don't mention the rest, otherwise I will definitely be in a hurry with you." ”

Sima Yuelan said: "Zitao, don't refuse this matter, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable and talk to me from time to time, how could he make such a mistake." If you promise him, you can teach him a lesson. ”

Meng Zitao also knew that Shu Ze would show signs of perfection obsessive-compulsive disorder in some aspects, and he pursued perfection too much, so it was difficult for him to accept a mistake in judgment in this matter, so he thought about compensating Meng Zitao more to make up for his mistakes.

Actually, it was completely unnecessary for Meng Zitao, but thinking of Shu Ze's feelings, he still agreed.

Seeing Meng Zitao agree, Shu Ze's whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, and he talked and laughed again.

When lunch was almost over, Meng Zitao took out the statue of the Moyu birthday star, and Shu Ze liked it very much after seeing it, thinking that he would definitely satisfy his grandfather.

asked people to send the money to Meng Zitao, Shu Ze said: "One of the photographers I introduced is still abroad and is going to take a night plane back, how about we go to the other photographer first?"

"Is their place far away?"

"Half an hour's drive. ”

Meng Zitao discussed with He Wanyi and said, "Then since this is the case, let's go together tomorrow, so as to save you from having to run tomorrow." ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Shu Ze didn't care about this, so everyone started chatting around.

"By the way, forget one thing. ”

Shu Ze patted his forehead and asked Meng Zitao, "Zitao, will you restore calligraphy and painting?"

Meng Zitao said: "This cannot be generalized, there are difficulties and difficulties in restoring calligraphy and paintings, it depends on whose painting it is, what kind of preservation it is, etc., to understand these problems, in order to know whether it can be repaired, and what the effect of restoration is." ”

Shu Ze said: "It's a huge picture, as for the preservation of the situation, it's really not very good, but to what extent, you have to see it yourself to judge." ”

"What are you talking about?!'s painting!" Meng Zitao's eyes widened a little when he heard this, and he looked very incredible.

Ju Ran was a native of Zhongling, and the exact year of birth and death is difficult to verify, but it is known that his main activity period was from the end of the Five Dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was first a monk of Zhongling Kaiyuan Temple, and later became famous for being good at painting landscapes, and became the treasure of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The Southern Tang Dynasty perished, Li Yu descended to the Song Dynasty, and Juran followed the latter to Bianliang and lived in Kaibao Temple. After that, he frescoed the mural in the north of the Yutang of the Academy, which won the praise of the court and the field scholars, and became well-known in the Central Plains. In the history of painting, he is known as the four masters together with Jing Hao, Guan Tong and Dong Yuan, and has made great contributions to the development of landscape painting in China.

However, after all, Ju Ran is the end of the five dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it has a history of more than a year, even if it is a painting of the Song Dynasty, it is very rare in the market, and most of the paintings that can be handed down to future generations have entered the big museum, once there are Song Dynasty paintings on the market, they are often sold at high prices or even sky-high prices, not to mention the end of the five dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also the work of the great painter Ju Ran!

Because of this, Meng Zitao was very surprised.

Shu Ze said: "At first, I actually didn't believe that it was Juran's work, but after reading it, I found that the whole painting is long and forested, the mountains and ravines are strict, the paths are bent and bent, the structure is dense and the atmosphere is majestic, and it is likely that it is indeed the real work of Juran." ”
