Zhu Dishan's treasure room was renovated from the basement, but the standard was very high, and Zhu Dishan said that it cost a lot of money just to open an anti-theft door.

He said that the anti-theft door panel is lined with a "special alloy" that can resist electric drilling, electric welding, and oxyacetylene flame cutting. The deadbolt is made of full-width solid stainless steel, and when the door is closed, even if the hinges of the door are broken, the door frame and the deadbolt are tightly interlocked.

Meng Zitao listened attentively to Zhu Dishan's explanation, although he didn't have to worry about renovating the treasure room, it was good to know more.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was particularly concerned about security, Zhu Dishan's heart moved: "Shopkeeper Meng, do you also want to build a treasure room?"

Meng Zitao nodded with a smile and said, "I'm already asking someone to design it, I just know a little more." ”

When the sixth child heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart: "Didn't you say that you won't build a treasure room in your house?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I recently got a villa. ”

The old man was very surprised: "Ah, why haven't I heard you say it, where is the villa?"

Meng Zitao said: "Ji Jing Yayuan. ”

When I heard that the villa I bought in Jijing Yayuan, even Zhu Dishan was very surprised, you know, the villa at that hour was not only bought as long as you have money.

The sixth came back to his senses and shook his head: "You are really wild now." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I didn't buy it, it was given to me by someone else." ”

The sixth pointed at himself and said, "Are you a fool for me?"

"In these days, no one believes the truth. Meng Zitao smiled.

"Believe in it, I believe in it. The sixth man smiled and shook his head, but judging from his demeanor, he still felt that Meng Zitao was joking, but Zhu Dishan was a little skeptical.

Walking into the treasure room, Meng Zitao found that the air here did not smell at all. And the room is spotless, it looks like someone should clean it often.

Meng Zitao looked around as usual, and found that except for a part of the doorway, there were Bogu shelves on all four walls, and they were in the middle of the room. There are also several glass booths, and there are also antiques inside, judging from the table of antiques, these pieces should be valuable masterpieces.

Zhu Dishan pointed to the Bogu frame in the room and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, if you want things from the east, we need to negotiate, the things in the south are worth more than three million, and the things on the west and north sides are worth about the same." If you only choose these two sides, I can choose any three. ”

Meng Zitao asked, "No matter what I choose, can I choose three?"

Zhu Dishan said with a smile: "Yes, even if the thing you choose exceeds the value of your jade, there is no problem, at most, I am gone." ”

Looking at Zhu Dishan's confident appearance, Meng Zitao muttered in his heart: "You're not afraid that I'll really pick up the leak." ”

Zhu Dishan pointed to the glass cabinets in the middle and said: "As for the middle pieces, they are all from me in recent years, not for sale!"

looked at the color on Zhu Dishan's face. Everyone understands what he means.

The sixth laughed and said, "Speaking of which." I still entrusted the blessing of the shopkeeper Meng, and I can appreciate Mr. Zhu's treasure, but I must have a good time today. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "You look first, I'll finish reading it in advance." ”

Next, everyone parted ways, and Zhu Dishan found a chair. Sitting at the door with the army, the sixth went straight to the treasures in the middle, and Mencius began to look at the Bogu frame in the north.

Zhu Dishan's collection is mostly literary play, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, walnut beeswax, calligraphy and painting paper fan, etc. In addition, add some porcelain and jade.

However, what can be placed in the treasure room can be said to be all high-quality products, let's say that the collections on the west and north sides are worth at least six or seven hundred thousand, but not more than eight hundred thousand.

This is talking about market valuation, in reality, there are generally few that can be sold at the highest price, but like Meng Zitao's jade, but it is a genuine masterpiece, if it were not for the other party's face in Li Jingfu, it would definitely not be able to be sold for less than two million.

This is also the reason why Zhu Dishan is full of confidence, because even if Meng Zitao's eyesight is good, all the things he chooses are nearly 800,000 yuan, and the combined value is only 2.4 million, and if he discounts it, he can't suffer a loss at all, but if Meng Zitao's eyesight is not good, then he will make it.

Of course, this is a normal business method, and if it were Meng Zitao himself, he would definitely do the same.

Because he only used his ability once to look at a collection, Mencius's speed was only slightly faster, not very conspicuous, and besides, there were so many collections in the room, if you looked closely, I don't know how much time it would take to finish it.

Meng Zitao walked around the corner and saw a painting hanging on the wall, this is a painting on silk, the size is not large, it is estimated that it is only more than two square feet (one square foot is 33.), but the content of the painting is very eye-catching.

I saw that there were strange peaks and lush forests in the painting, and the clouds were swirling, and between the steep peaks and walls, there were many pavilions looming. The full moon is high in the sky, and an immortal man comes across the crane, leisurely.

Although the size of the painting is small, the layout is very reasonable, giving people a sense of proximity to a thousand miles, fully expressing the profound sense of space in nature.

In addition, the technique of the painting made Meng Zitao feel very strange, because the technique on this painting is clumsy, but it also shows the charm of the painting, for example, the texture of the stone and trees can be well displayed without the "皴" method, which shows that the author's brushwork is relatively mature, so his painting still seems light and heavy.

However, since the artist's painting level is so high, why don't he use such a mature technique as the Yan Fa?

Meng Zitao stared at the painting and looked closely, and suddenly, he noticed that the silk used in this painting was somewhat different, with the characteristics of thick and thick, which was very consistent with the characteristics of silk paper in the Tang Dynasty and before.

This discovery made his eyelids jump, could it be that this painting was a painting from the Tang Dynasty or even before? If this is the case, then the clumsiness of the painting art can be explained clearly.

However, it is not easy to preserve this kind of thing, and Zhao Ruzhen's "Antique Guide" of the Republic of China mentions a sentence in the second chapter of "Calligraphy and Painting": "The durability of silk is less than a hundred years." ”

Of course, nothing is absolute, and how long a silk painting can be preserved depends on a variety of reasons. But the carrier of this painting in front of me is too new, not to mention the new has been passed down for thousands of years, it looks as if the history of three or five hundred years is already good.

What's more, this painting has no inscription, no inscription, and no seal. It's just a three-nothing work, if you want to say that the paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties can still make people believe it, and no one will believe it anyway.

In this case, the reason why this painting is still here is probably because Zhu Dishan thinks that this painting is very good, and there is also the possibility of heirloom works from the Song and Yuan dynasties, so it will be hung here.

At this moment, Mencius was full of curiosity about this painting. Hurriedly used the ability, and immediately after, his heart began to flutter and flutter, and in an instant, he felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat, making him want to roar.

It took him a while to calm down his excitement, and then he remembered. I had stood in front of this painting for too long, and I forced myself to stand aside. But his mind was still on the painting, and he wished he could snatch it down now, lest he run away for a while.

Next, although Meng Zitao looked no different from before, he was actually absent-minded, if he didn't have to pretend. He can make a choice now.

Finally made enough, Meng Zitao put down the last thing, and said to Zhu Dishan with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, I have already selected the things, so let's choose three here." ”

Zhu Dishan heard Meng Zitao's decision. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, rare things are expensive, and the more precious the collection, the rarer it is, of course, so Meng Zitao's choice is very beneficial to him.

Zhu Dishan asked with a smile: "I don't know which three." ”

Mencius pointed out his choice as he walked: "This pen holder, this painting ......"

"Hey, you chose this painting?"

Zhu Dishan paused and stopped in front of the painting, which suddenly made Meng Zitao nervous: "Can't you choose this painting?"

Zhu Dishan waved his hand: "Of course you can choose, but to tell you the truth, I put this painting here at the beginning, but I felt that this painting was a master's work, but I checked the information for two months, and I didn't find out who the author was, so the value is uncertain, and you may suffer a loss if you first put this painting." ”

"If you set the author in the Song Dynasty or later, even if you die, you won't be able to find the author. ”

Meng Zitao muttered to himself, and said with a smile on the surface: "It's okay, I just think this painting is quite suitable for me, even if it loses, it doesn't matter." ”

Zhu Dishan smiled and nodded: "Okay, there's one last one." ”

Seeing that Zhu Dishan had no dissent, Meng Zitao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he pointed to an inkstone on the Bogu shelf next to him.

"It's this side of the inkstone, it's not ......"

As soon as Zhu Dishan said this, Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "No, it's the Rui beast ornament next to it." ”

In fact, Meng Zitao was originally going to choose that inkstone, however, there was a voice in his heart that made him sure to choose the Rui beast ornament next to him, so he subconsciously changed his mind.

After Zhu Dishan agreed, Meng Zitao couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and said secretly: "What's going on, it can't be that you have encountered something weird, right?"

Thinking of this, he took another look at the Rui Beast ornament and found that its shape was indeed quite weird.

I saw that it was carved from green jade, with a wide snout, a protruding nose, high huge eyes, two horns on the forehead, pointed ears, a strong neck, a chest and abdomen like a drum, two forelimbs supported on the ground, a single hind limb in the shape of a stretch, and a mouth open, as if preparing to hunt.

This image is clearly the head of a cow, antlers, a toad body, and three legs. What's even more peculiar is that there is a dragon lurking on its back, and its body is snake-like, clinging to its back, and its eyes are also focused on the direction of predation.

As for Meng Zitao's saying that it is a rui beast, it is also a subconscious statement, and it can't be said that it is a monster.

Fortunately, although the shape of this thing is strange, the pulp is heavy, and the overall atmosphere is ancient and pure, and from the perspective of carving style, it should be something before the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, plus the jade quality is good, five or six hundred thousand is still worth it.

may be worried that Meng Zitao will regret it, and when Meng Zitao has chosen something, Zhu Dishan said with a smile that the two sides can sign an agreement, so that everyone can rest assured.

This decision was exactly what Meng Zitao wanted, and he didn't think much about it at all, so he agreed.

After signing the agreement here, the sixth child sighed: "Today is really an eye-opener." Especially these treasures of Mr. Zhu, all of them are treasures that can be found and cannot be found!"

"Where, where!" Zhu Dishan waved his hand, looking very modest, but from his eyes, it was not difficult to find the pride in his heart.

Originally. Meng Zitao was in a hurry to go back, but the sixth said that he couldn't just leave, so he could only discuss with Zhu Dishan, saying that he wanted to appreciate those treasures. Zhu Dishan also said that there was no problem.

There are four treasures of Zhu Di Mountain, which are divided into two pieces of porcelain, a Tian Huang seal, and a carved lacquer lid box.

Speaking of which, these four works are indeed very precious. Even the Tianhuang seal with the lowest value is estimated to be at least 10 million yuan, and the two pieces of porcelain are worth more than 50 million, which can be called a national treasure-level collection.

However, the remaining piece was a carved lacquer lid box from the Yongle period, according to Zhu Dishan, and he looked at it for a while, but frowned slightly.

Lacquerware in our country spans thousands of years of history. As for carved lacquer, there are written records in the Tang Dynasty. Flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, because of the rarity of materials, exquisite workmanship, magnificent, noble status, has always been the special products of the imperial palace, and it is difficult to see it among the people.

Among them, the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was the period with the fastest development of lacquer carving technology, and the Yongle Emperor was extremely fond of lacquer carving. Therefore, an orchard field was set up in the imperial capital, and masters were recruited, and famous craftsmen gathered in the orchard field to make zuò imperial carved lacquerware to meet the Yongle Emperor's demand and love for carved lacquerware.

During the Yongle period, the economy was unprecedentedly developed. In addition to the emperor's attention, coupled with the abundant financial support, it was able to achieve brilliant results in carved lacquerware, which was much more labor-intensive and time-consuming than porcelain and bronze work. The royal carved lacquerware of the orchard field was regarded as a treasure by connoisseurs at the time in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in 2004, there was a carved lacquer box in the Yongle period, which was auctioned for an astonishing high price of more than 10 million.

The lid box in front of me, regardless of the decoration and size, is very similar to the 2004 lot, and if it is genuine, the value is amazing.

Meng Zitao was also very amazed by this carved lacquer work, however, after he carefully admired it for a while, he felt that something was not quite right, and after a while, he saw a place that did not match the characteristics of the real thing.

Because he was in a hurry to go back, Meng Zitao really didn't have the heart to identify, so he directly used the ability, and the result was not as he expected.

"Do you want to sue Zhu Dishan?"

Meng Zitao hesitated, after all, the appraisal of antiques is often a thing that is easy to offend people, not to mention anything else, first of all, it will offend the person who appraised the painting in the first place. What's more, now that Zhu Dishan has decided that this thing is genuine, there is no need for him to deliberately sweep his sex.

However, he picked up an amazing big leak from here, and just ignored it, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, in case he was recognized by the time, Zhu Dishan might lose face, and even other bad things might happen, such as giving it to others as a gift.

"Forget it, I'll just give you a favor back. ”

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao smiled and said to Zhu Dishan: "Mr. Zhu, can you let me enjoy this carved lacquer cover box?"

Zhu Dishan was a little hesitant, and he really didn't want to let others handle such a treasure, but he had begged Meng Zitao before, and if he refused now, it would be a little unkind, not to mention, Meng Zitao was an expert, so he should be careful about this treasure.

So, Zhu Dishan reluctantly agreed, opened the glass display case with the key, and carefully pulled out the supporting plate.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was wearing gloves and the identification techniques were also very professional, Zhu Dishan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then, he felt a little strange in his heart, why did Meng Zitao not make such a request for the three treasures before, but it was the turn of this carved lacquer work, so he did it?

Could it be that Mencius had a soft spot? Or did there be some other unexpected problem?

"Probably not, definitely not!"

People are like this, once they have doubts, if they don't give a clear answer, they will start to be suspicious in their hearts, Zhu Dishan is like this at this time, thinking wildly, and thinking about the bad side.

After a while, Meng Zitao raised his head and asked, "Mr. Zhu, ask a question that may be presumptuous, where did you get this carved lacquer work?"

As soon as Zhu Dishan heard this, his heart suddenly "chuckled", and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly, and he didn't answer Meng Zitao's question, and said in a trembling voice: "Shopkeeper Meng, is there something wrong with this thing?"

Seeing this, Meng Zitao sighed secretly and said: "Before talking about this problem, let's talk about the carved lacquer style at that time, the carved lacquer of the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty still maintains the style of the carved lacquer of the Yuan Dynasty, the modeling rules, the pattern has a strong sense of hierarchy, the knife marks are not revealed, the lacquer layer is hypertrophied, the lacquer is excellent, the carving is round, the grinding is fine, and the carving is more ......."
