    After all, they have been friends for many years. Meng Zitao advised again: "To be honest, I advise you not to do this. As the old saying goes, paper cannot contain the fire. When the incident breaks out, it is likely to cause trouble.  ."

    Li Xianle smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Meng, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really don't have any risk in this matter."

    "What do you mean?" Meng Zitao thought this was a bit strange.

    "Have you seen the billboard for the 'Treasure Appraisal' activity at the door?" Li Xianle asked.

    "I saw it, are you just planning to go there? Will they issue you a certificate?"

    Meng Zitao nodded. The 'treasure appraisal' activity is to invite a few famous but long-lost experts to help antique lovers and collectors appraise the collections in their hands. However, it is free. Meng Zitao thinks this is a  Doing good things for antique lovers or collectors.

    Li Xianle said with a smile: "What you said is true. Actually, the billboard did not say that it is free to go to have things appraised, but if the things are 'right', they will give you an appraisal certificate signed by an expert.  But there is a fee for the certificate, which is only a few hundred yuan. Do you think the average person would spend this money?"

    Hearing Li Xianle's accentuated tone when he said "right", Meng Zitao immediately understood the trick. He was just saying something false as true, which left him speechless.

    "Aren't they afraid that if they notice a problem, it will cause them trouble?"

    Li Xianle chuckled and said: "What's the point? It's just that I'm mistaken. They are already outdated experts, so why do they care about their reputation? You see, the certificate was given to me by an expert, and I go to this expert when I find trouble."  Well, what trouble can I get into?¡±

    After hearing this, Meng Zitao really didn't know what to say: "You know this matter so clearly. It seems that you must have done this kind of thing before, right?"

    Li Xianle said: "No way, I also heard about this from my cousin's father-in-law. He opened an antique shop on the second floor. I am going to go to his place first and let him see my things. If there is no problem,  Then thank God, I don¡¯t want to go there and bother. What do you think, do you want to go with me? "

    Since we were done shopping on the first floor anyway, Meng Zitao agreed.

    The second floor is not like the first floor. The shops here are all in a private room style, and the style without decoration is both ancient and modern.

    Following Li Xianle to a small shop, he saw a chubby old man inside, introducing his products to two customers. When he saw Li Xianle and Meng Zitao coming in, he smiled and nodded.  He motioned for them to find a place to sit, and then introduced the two of them.

    The two people were asking here and there, looking left and right, but they had no intention of buying. However, the old man was not worried and looked at them with a smile on his face.  After a while, the two people left empty-handed.

    At this time, the old man came over, and Li Xianle immediately stood up and introduced both parties.

    The old man¡¯s surname was Song and his first name was Xiu Ping. Hearing that Meng Zitao was also in the industry, he extended his hand and said with a smile: ¡°I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.¡±

    Meng Zitao also stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said a few polite words.

    Song Xiuping invited everyone to take a seat, and Li Xianle said: "Uncle Song, those two just now are obviously not sincere buyers. Why are you talking nonsense to them?"

    Speaking of which, the owner of an ordinary antique shop will indeed treat the kind of customers just like what Li Xianle said. If the customer is well-dressed, he may give you a cold blow, but if he is the kind of customer who is not very understanding, he will spray you in the face.  It's possible for spitting stars to happen.

    Song Xiuping said with a smile: "Everyone here is a guest, and I have nothing to do. It doesn't matter if I explain it to them. Besides, if they don't buy it this time, maybe they will buy it next time? Haha, I won't talk about it anymore.  , please take out the things and show them to me."

    "Okay." Li Xianle quickly took out the things and gave them to Song Xiuping for appraisal.

    As soon as the thing caught his eye, Song Xiuping's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it carefully into his hands to observe it. However, within a moment, the joy in his eyes dimmed a lot, and he finally put the thing back with a look of pity on his face.

    Li Xianle quickly asked: "Uncle Song, is there something wrong with this thing?"

    Song Xiuping asked back: "You should have some idea in your mind, right?"

    Li Xianle said: "I just feel that there is something wrong with the five colors. For example, the blue on it looks a bit green. If it is the blue of the Kangxi period, it should be darker."

    "You're right, Wucai is indeed wrong."

    Song Xiuping nodded: "ExceptExcept for some irregularities in color, the distances of this artifact are measured with a pen, which is very rigorous and meticulous.  Carefully observe the combination of hydrangea petals, etc., and there are no inadvertent things that are inconsistent or inconsistent with the above.  "

    "And if it is an authentic work from the Kangxi period, the lines used in the pen are clumsy and thin, and the places mentioned above will occasionally have a natural and random appearance that does not match. There will also be inconsistencies between the outline of the petals of the red flower and the straight intersection of the petals.  place."

    "In addition, Kangxi's five-color paintings drew on the composition and shape of woodcut prints in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties to create powder copies. Ink lines were applied to the porcelain body, and then painted according to the ink lines of the original manuscript. As for this artifact, if I read it correctly, it should be first  The ink lines of Kangxi's original drawings were copied onto the porcelain body, and then copied and painted according to the pattern."

    "So, based on comprehensive judgment, this should be an imitation from the Republic of China. However, although it is an imitation from the Republic of China, the painting skills have reached a very high level. It is considered a good thing. The current market price is not much higher than that of the Republic of China."  You definitely can¡¯t buy it for 1,000 yuan.¡±

    Although Song Xiuping¡¯s approval was met, Li Xianle still seemed dissatisfied.

    Seeing this situation, Song Xiuping said: "Xiao Le, I know what you are thinking, but such a certificate is actually of little use. How can ordinary insiders see such a thing? But if you want to sell something to a layman, to  When they discover a problem, they may not be polite."

    Li Xianle smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Song, I know what you are talking about, but these days, the pressure of life is too great. I feel that my salary is not enough now. When I have children, this salary will not be enough."  I don¡¯t want to have to ask my parents for money again.¡±

    Meng Zitao can understand Li Xianle's thoughts. As a parent, of course you have to think about your children, but if you engage in some evil ways just because of this, it would be unreasonable. You can't steal or rob just because you are poor, right?

    Li Xianle then said: "Don't worry, what I did was just a bit of a fluke. I have an old man above me and a baby who is about to be born. No matter what, I will never do something like lard that blinds my heart."

    Seeing that Li Xianle had made up his mind, Meng Zitao and Song Xiuping stopped trying to persuade him, but they both sighed secretly in their hearts, hoping that Li Xianle would not suffer a loss because of this.

    Having made the decision, Li Xianle was ready to go to the venue for the treasure appraisal event.  Meng Zitao originally wanted to search for treasures here, but because he was a little worried about Li Xianle, he followed him.

    Li Xianle said: "Xiao Meng, you are busy with your business, there is no need to follow me."

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "It's okay, I'm also very curious about such activities. I'll go over and have a look. If you're not interested, come back."

    Afterwards, the two of them went to a teahouse not far from the Antique City, where the treasure appraisal activity was held.

    Before we even reached the tea house, we saw a lot of people standing at the door. Many of them were holding things in their hands, including porcelain, jade, Buddha statues, calligraphy and paintings, etc. There were all kinds of tea and everything.

    Meng Zitao was a little surprised when he saw this situation, but he immediately realized that these days, many people's eyes light up when they hear the word "free".  Moreover, although most people nowadays refer to experts as "experts", they actually still believe in them. Even if the other person is a has-been expert, he is still an expert, right?

    The two walked to the door of the tea house and found two staff members at the door maintaining order. There was a table next to it, with antique signs placed in categories. Next to each sign was a number printed on A4 paper.  After listening to the staff's introduction, the two of them realized that this was for queuing.

    Seeing that there were still empty seats in the teahouse, Li Xianle asked the staff: "Isn't it empty inside? Why are they still standing outside the door?"

    The staff member smiled and said, ¡°You have to pay for tea here.¡±

    Hearing this, Meng Zitao and Li Xianle were both speechless. Why would they stand outside the door when they could charge a few dollars for a cup of tea?  But immediately, they felt relieved. These people came here for free, and it was not windy or rainy today, so these people would not spend their wasted money.

    Meng Zitao and Li Xianle did not want to wait outside the door, so they took the number and walked into the teahouse.

    Entering the room, Meng Zitao saw well-dressed experts on the rostrum set up not far away, commenting on the things in front of them in a serious manner. When he saw the large objects, several people came down the stage to appreciate and comment, which was very like  Participated in a treasure appraisal program on a certain channel.

    However, when Meng Zitao saw the expert who appraised miscellaneous items, an incredible look flashed in his eyes, because he knew this so-called expert, and this person was not an expert at all, just a shovel.

    It¡¯s not that Meng Zitao looks down on shovels, there are also people with good eyesight among shovels, but this person¡¯s eyesight is really terrible.  Meng Zitao just heard that he stepped on landmines no less than three times when he was "shoveling land". The last time, he lost all his money and owed a lot of debt.

    Since then, this guy has never appeared in the antique market in Ling City. Meng Zitao originally thought that he was no longer in this industry, but his identity had indeed changed, but he actually went from a person with poor eyesight to a person with no vision.  The shovel turned into an expert who can talk freely. This change is really big enough.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?.  Meng Zitao just heard that he stepped on landmines no less than three times when he was "shoveling land".
