Li Lunqiao smiled bitterly and said: "In the final analysis, my mother-in-law died early. I was busy supporting the family when he was a child and did not give him a good education. I hope that after two years, he will be sensible!"
Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and it was hard for Meng Zitao to talk about such things. Li Wei came back with the things just at this time, which saved the atmosphere from becoming awkward.
Li Wei put the things in front of Meng Zitao and said expectantly: "Teacher Meng, this is what I bought at the antique market yesterday. Can you take a look at it?"
What Li Wei took out was a gilt statue of Guan Gong. The workmanship was rough, the figure was dull, lifeless, clumsy and unsophisticated, elegant and elegant. It had only its shape but lacked spirit. It was far from the real ancient works. , you can tell it is a fake product at a glance.
After looking at it for a while, Meng Zitao raised his head and asked, "Where did you buy this statue?"
"At a small stall in Xianqiao."
"Why did you choose this statue of Guan Gong?" Meng Zitao asked again.
Li Wei said: "I heard an expert say before that in addition to collecting fine products, collecting also pays attention to collecting some strange objects, which may be missed."
Meng Zitao shook his head: "Most of the weird-shaped things are made by contemporary people in order to confuse uninformed buyers. Don't say that the things are not authentic, and they don't even have any aesthetics. Don't be angry if I tell you the truth. , in the antique market, it is because there are too many people with your views that some people can take advantage of it."
Hearing this, Li Wei still didn't understand what Meng Zitao meant: "You mean, this thing is a fake? But the seller clearly told me that it was from the Fifth Generation, and he also said that if it was wrong, let me go. Find him!"
Meng Zitao felt a little funny in his heart. To be honest, if you can believe what the vendor said, the sows would even climb the tree.
"If you look for him now, I guarantee you won't be able to find him. Even if you find him, he will not admit that the things were bought from him." Meng Zitao said.
Li Wei said angrily: "If he dares, I won't smash his stall!"
¡°You¡¯re always beating and killing, what kind of words are you talking about!¡± Li Lunqiao scolded angrily.
¡°I bought fake goods, so I can¡¯t settle the score with him!¡± Li Wei said through gritted teeth.
Li Lunqiao snorted: "Even if I don't know much about antiques trading, I still know the rules in this business that purchases cannot be returned. If you go to someone to return it, will they return it to you?"
Li Wei¡¯s tone softened: ¡°This is the new century, so these rules must be changed.¡±
Meng Zitao said: "It is indeed different now than before, but this rule is still common in the antique industry. You can ask him to return the goods. Whether you can return it or not is another matter. If others know that you bought something and returned it, it is generally affirmative. I won¡¯t do business with you again.¡±
Li Wei said a little aggrievedly: "Then I can only suffer a loss?"
Li Lunqiao poured cold water on his son: "Do you think it's easy to make money from antiques? I think you should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
This sentence actually aroused Li Wei's rebellious mentality. He said: "I don't believe that I can't make money with antiques."
Li Lunqiao was startled, sighed bitterly in his heart, and said to his son: "Don't talk nonsense yet, you'd better find out what kind of loss you suffered this time before talking about it."
Although we are not relatives, we cannot just watch a young man jump into the fire pit, so Meng Zitao said: "The antiques industry is very technical. If you really want to get involved in this industry, then you must learn the culture well." For historical knowledge, take this statue of Guan Gong for example.¡±
"Guan Yu's official position during his lifetime was Tinghou, the lowest title. After his death, Guan Yu rose step by step, from king to emperor to martial sage, and was on an equal footing with the literary sage Confucius. However, what is rarely known is that in history Guan Yu's promotion path was not smooth, and he experienced many ups and downs."
"During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor chose Guan Yu as a supporting role. He stood next to Jiang Taigong, the martial saint at that time, walked into the temple, and accepted incense offerings. Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu were also included. In the Song Dynasty, the founding emperor Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin believed that, Although Guan Yu was very famous, he was not successful, so he was expelled from the national sacrificial hall."
"It wasn't until the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty that Guan Yu's fate took a turn for the better. He was promoted three times in a row. From then on, Guan Gong was gradually deified and eventually became Emperor Wu. So, first of all, from this point of view, your statue of Guan Gong was made in the wrong year. During the Five Dynasties period, no one would make such a statue of Guan Gong."
Meng Zitao paused and continued: "In addition to cultural knowledge, you must also understand each period.??Imitation, no wonder he got so many similar works.
"But why did I get these things? Could it be that God wants to lend me a hand to let that treasure see the light of day again?" Meng Zitao couldn't help but think in his heart.
After getting the news he wanted, Meng Zitao was ready to return to the capital of Shu. However, the father and son insisted that Meng Zitao stay for lunch. They were unhappy when Meng Zitao refused, and in the end Meng Zitao had no choice but to agree.
However, the small talk during the dinner made Meng Zitao a little glad that he stayed.

However, this book is almost coming to an end, so you don¡¯t have to worry about becoming a eunuch.
