Because there were still guests there, Yan Quan toasted everyone with a glass of wine and went back first.
Next, everyone drank and drank, and the atmosphere was warm. After the meal, the host and guest naturally enjoyed themselves, and the relationship became closer.
Jin Zongjie and Song Junyu didn¡¯t come to the mainland just for Zhang Jingqiang, so after dinner, they left first.
Zhang Jingqiang was about to send Meng Zitao back. When he walked to the parking lot, he met Yan Quan again. At this time, he was supporting a man of similar age to him. This man should be Yan Quan's friend. He seemed to be drunk. I vomited everywhere, even in the car next to me.
Yan Quan saw Zhang Jingqiang and smiled bitterly: "This is my friend. He just got divorced and is in a bad mood. I will send him back now."
"Do you want my help?" Zhang Jingqiang asked.
Yan Quan smiled: "No need, I have already called his family over. They will be there in a minute."
"You bastard! Go to hell!"
While Yan Quan¡¯s friend was cursing, he took something out of his pocket and threw it forward. The object drew an arc and fell into the flower bed not far away.
Meng Zitao noticed that the thing thrown by the other party looked familiar, so he walked over and picked it up, and found that it was actually a "Wang Mang Daquan Fifty Bronze Mother Model".
This kind of mother model has special significance in the history of copper coin casting in my country. It confirms that the overlay casting method of coin seals in my country is Wang Mang's original casting technology. This product is the only mother model in the history of coin casting in my country that uses the clay model stacking method to cast coins. This kind of mother mold can be used to make clay molds, which can be stacked to cast actual coins.
The surface of this mother coin mold is only slightly rusty, but it is still intact. It is considered a fine product and is very rare.
In addition, this type of mother model was circulated in the second year of Jushe in the Western Han Dynasty (7 AD). Due to the high casting cost, when the "Ten Springs and Fifty" were cast again in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (10 AD), this type of model was no longer used. The method of making money makes this item extremely precious and rare.
¡° Such a piece of mother-in-law is now worth about one hundred thousand. If you just throw it away like this, this person will probably be anxious to death when he wakes up.
Zhang Jingqiang noticed the model Meng Zitao was holding and was a little surprised: "Isn't this true?"
¡°It¡¯s real, and it¡¯s in perfect condition.¡± Meng Zitao showed Zhang Jingqiang a look.
After Zhang Jingqiang saw it, he smiled and said to Yan Quan: "This friend of yours is really rich. He just threw it away for 100,000 yuan. Fortunately, he didn't throw it on the ground, otherwise he would have lost tens of thousands of yuan." "
Yan Quan felt a little scared for his friend. He was really going to break him. When he sobered up, he would probably be heartbroken.
Meng Zitao asked: "Is this friend of yours also a collector?"
Yan Quan shook his head: "He doesn't collect, but I heard that his father seems to be a collector. I don't know the specific situation."
Zhang Jingqiang became interested after hearing this, and this mother-of-pearl model is relatively rare and can definitely be auctioned, so he wanted to meet Yan Quan¡¯s friend¡¯s father to see if there were other collections.
Meng Zitao had the same idea, so the two of them waited here for a while.
A moment later, the parents of Yan Quan¡¯s friend hurried over. Seeing his son¡¯s appearance, his father didn¡¯t look good at all, while his mother looked very distressed.
"Xiao Yan, thank you for what happened today." Zhuang Gongtai smiled at Yan Quan.
Yan Quan said quickly: "You're welcome. It's my fault. I shouldn't let Brother Lang drink so much."
"Huh, he's such an old man, doesn't he know how much wine he can drink?" Zhuang Gongtai snorted coldly, feeling that his son was really disappointing and was embarrassing himself.
Zhuang Lang's mother was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so mean? Xiao Lang is in a bad mood during this period, and it's normal for him to drink without paying attention!"
Zhuang Gongtai's expression became even worse: "Huh! A loving mother often loses her son. If you hadn't spoiled him since childhood, would you have been able to marry that woman in the first place?"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!"
Zhuang Lang's mother also got angry and said to Yan Quan: "Xiao Yan, please help me help Xiao Lang back."
"I'm afraid of you!" Zhuang Gongtai muttered, went up to help his son's other arm, and then prepared to send his son home.
Yan Quan quickly said: "Uncle, please wait a moment, Lange's car also needs to be taken care of."
Zhang Jingqiang said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will just ask the waiter at the hotel here to help handle it."
Yan Quan is busy introducingZhuang Gongtai pointed to a piece of porcelain that was placed in a conspicuous position. Meng Zitao and others walked over to admire it, and they all let out exclamations of exclamation.
This Guanyin vase is a treasure from the Qianlong official kiln. It is made entirely of imitation cloisonn¨¦. The composition of the vessel is clear and well-proportioned. The painting is meticulous and neat, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the turquoise green glaze is even and thick, which is extremely lovely, the gold color is dazzling, and the colors are gorgeous and dense, highlighting the royal majestic and majestic temperament.
This Guanyin bottle is a valuable item, worth at least 20 million, and Meng Zitao would be reluctant to sell it if he owned it.
Zhang Jingqiang was very excited after looking at it. Unfortunately, he couldn't force this matter, so he could only give up with regret.
Next, Meng Zitao and Zhang Jingqiang began to appreciate the collection in the house. Meng Zitao discovered that the collection here was indeed of a relatively high level, but it was not that there were no fakes, just relatively few.
" However, Zhuang Gongtai did not ask him about the authenticity of the collection. He would not hesitate to tell him, lest he make Zhuang Gongtai unhappy.
Since all the other items in the collection could be selected except for the Guanyin bottle, Zhang Jingqiang chose the most expensive ones first, and asked Meng Zitao for advice while selecting them.
"Zitao, what do you think of this immortal riding a cup?"
"The Immortal Rides a Sea" comes from the myth and legend of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. When Zhang Qian was on his mission to the Western Regions, he encountered a river obstruction. He followed the river upstream to find the source. Unexpectedly, he reached the fairyland, met the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and was given a piece of stone for pressing on the loom. . Later generations used the phrase "immortal riding on a chariot" to describe "smooth sailing" and "smooth progress".
This myth was recited in poems by people in the Tang Dynasty, and its themes spread throughout various arts. The silver-cast "Immortal Riding a Chassis" from Zhu Bishan of the Yuan Dynasty is the earliest one ever seen. In the Ming Dynasty, rhinoceros carvings of "immortals riding on a chariot" were similar to "Zhu Cha" in craftsmanship. Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty, rhinoceros carvings of "immortals riding on a chariot" became more common.
The Cha cup mentioned by Zhang Jingqiang is one of the best. It has a unique shape, fluent knife use, fine polishing, and simple and smooth carving. Through the author's delicate portrayal, the old man is able to navigate the dangerous water, but he is confident, like a man strolling in the garden. The expression is displayed in every detail, making it a treasure among rhino horn carvings.
Meng Zitao looked it over and said with a smile: "There is no doubt that this cup is wonderful, but if you want to put it up for auction, you should think too much."
Zhang Jingqiang thought the same thing. This is a work carved from rhinoceros horn. According to the law, it is a prohibited category in the country. It certainly cannot be bid at a regular auction. However, he also likes this cup and thinks it is okay to buy it and appreciate it at home. good.
However, just when Zhang Jingqiang was about to speak, Meng Zitao kicked him lightly to signal him not to buy.
At first, Zhang Jingqiang thought there was something wrong with the cup, but then he noticed Zhuang Gongtai's expression and realized that Zhuang Gongtai did say that they could choose whatever they wanted except the Guanyin bottle, but after all, this was his collection for many years. If it weren't for his son, he would definitely not sell.
If you really don¡¯t consider Zhuang Gongtai¡¯s ideas at all and pick out the five best collections, then it will be difficult for you to have a chance to trade next time.
After reacting, Zhang Jingqiang immediately changed his strategy and stopped choosing Chabei. Paying attention to Zhuang Gongtai's expression, he found that he was much better.
At this time, Meng Zitao noticed a piece of jade placed not far from the cup. It was a jade belt buckle with an openwork carving throughout and a dragon pattern on the front. The dragon has a long neck, a thin head, a broad nose, an open mouth, and a row of teeth exposed on the upper jaw. Its limbs are strong and majestic. The overall dragon shape is round, slender and curled, and the shape is turned over, giving it a flying and majestic posture, full of movement.
Judging from its style, it is exactly the same as the dragon pattern in Yuan Dynasty porcelain, and the carving is also in line with the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty at that time. It is the best jade carving in the Yuan Dynasty. There are exquisite and meticulous pure gold inlays around it, which is called "gold inlaid jade". The inlay precision level is first-class.
Needless to say, this jade belt buckle must have been used by the palace nobles at that time, and its surface was thickly patinated. It must have been played with by someone, indicating that it was a beloved object of the original owner, which aroused Meng Zitao's interest.
"Teacher Zhuang, did you also buy this jade belt buckle at the auction?"
Zhuang Gongtai came over and said with a smile: "No, a shooting friend of mine from Shudu lost a bet with me, so he transferred it to me. To be honest, I originally wanted his Yuanqinghua, but he ended up dead. He refused, and then I wanted to choose other collections, but he didn't agree, so I finally had to choose this jade belt buckle." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
