    Seeing the two people looking a little dazed, Meng Zitao smiled inwardly. In fact, this kind of situation is very common in the antique industry. Many people suffered a loss because they did not pay attention to such details.

    In addition to "paper talk", there is also Li Bai's well-known poem "Silent Night Thoughts". I believe everyone has memorized this poem when they were children and are familiar with it, but in fact, the original text of this poem is not the version we are familiar with.

    In "Ten Thousand Tang Dynasty Quatrains" written by Hong Mai of the Song Dynasty, the original poem is "Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the mountains and the moon, and I lower my head to think about my hometown."  In the Ming Dynasty, "Ten Thousand Tang Dynasty Quatrains" was revised, and "raise your head and look at the moon" was changed to "raise your head and look at the bright moon".  In Shen Deqian's "Tang Poems" in the Qing Dynasty, the first sentence "watching the moonlight in front of the bed" was changed to "the moonlight is bright in front of the bed".

    In "Three Hundred Tang Poems" compiled by Sun Zhu, these two sentences were revised and integrated together, and it became the version that is now well-known to every household.

    So, if someone wants to sell you a calligraphy and painting by a famous Ming Dynasty artist, the entire poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" is written on it.  When you go over and take a look, you find that the first sentence is "The moonlight shines in front of the bed", then you don't need to read it, it must be a fake.

    After hearing Meng Zitao's explanation, Shu Ze felt a little ashamed and speechless. He had been interested in antiques for nearly seven or eight years. During this period, he had read countless information, but he knew nothing about the knowledge point mentioned by Meng Zitao.  , it¡¯s really embarrassing to think about it.

    However, after thinking about it again, Shu Ze was a little relieved. After all, most of the time, he only treated antiques for fun, and Chinese was the subject he hated the most. It was normal for some knowledge points to be unclear. As the old saying goes, skills are good.  If you have a specialty, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.

    However, Ergou actually dared to use such a thing to fool him, which made Shu Ze a little angry. He said with a smile: "Ergou, you are so capable now, you actually dare to bring out such a thing."  ?It seems you don¡¯t want to hang out anymore!¡±

    Ergou's heart trembled, he bowed quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Master Shu, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I didn't know they would bring something like this here."

    "Do you think I'm a fool?" Shu Ze's face turned cold.

    When Ergou saw Shu Ze's expression, he felt sweat starting to form on his back, and quickly explained: "Master Shu, I really didn't lie to you. To tell you the truth, these things are not specially prepared for you.  . They said it was a good thing at the beginning, so I showed it to you, but God knows it is such a fake."

    At this time, Meng Zitao sneered: "What are you talking about? If you don't know what this is, how could you just say it so smoothly?"

    Ergou laughed dryly: "Mr. Meng, it's your first time here, so it's normal for you to be unclear. In fact, the information on the things here was provided to me by others. I'll tell you after I've memorized it. As for whether it's true or false, that's all.  It¡¯s up to you to judge.¡±

    Seeing Shu Ze nodding, Meng Zitao suddenly understood that after all, this place was actually an antique store, and these two dogs were just waiters selling things.

    At this time, I heard Shu Ze say: "Er Gou, I won't care about those naughty things among you. I'll just tell you what to do."

    "Master Shu, this matter is not something I can decide. Please wait a moment." Ergou quickly said goodbye to Shu Ze and returned to the back room to contact someone.

    After Ergou left, Shu Ze said: "When I first came here, I told him that as long as I like something, the price is negotiable, but don't fool me with fakes."

    Meng Zitao suddenly realized, no wonder Shu Ze said it so rationally, it turned out that there was such an agreement.  Thinking of this, he felt happy again. Shu Ze's ability to explain like this showed that he recognized him. Otherwise, why would Shu Ze have to explain.

    After a while, Ergou came back with a smile on his face, pointed to another thing on the table, and said: "Master Shu, our boss just said that as an apology, this thing will be given to you."

    Shu Ze sneered: "Is this the end?"

    Ergou said with a smile: "If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as we can provide them, you will be satisfied."

    "I want the best thing from you." Shu Ze said lightly.

    Ergou smiled and said: "That's for sure. If you come here, Master Shu, I will definitely treat you with the best things!"

    Shu Ze sneered and said, "Hey, don't give me a bad look, otherwise I won't be so easy to talk to."

    Ergou chuckled: "Young Master Shu, don't worry, I will definitely make you feel at home today. You take a look at this thing first, and I'll take out the rest."

    &nb, he could only watch it with Meng Zitao, hoping nothing would go wrong.

    Zun, now known as a bottle, is a large and medium-sized wine vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.  Generally, the shape of the statue has round feet, a round or square belly, a long neck, an open mouth, and a large diameter.

    But the shape of this bronze statue is a bit special. The whole thing is like an elephant, about 30 centimeters tall, with a fat body, thick and powerful limbs, a long nose, and a straight nostril stretched forward, which is used as a mouth to drink wine.  Drainage from nostrils.  The elephant's back is straight, with an oval mouth and a lid.

    The whole body of the elephant statue is covered with decorations, including a pair of swirling snake-like patterns on the forehead; the front of the ears is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, and the back is decorated with phoenix patterns; the surface of the vessel is decorated with dragon patterns and animal face patterns.  Judging from the decoration, Meng Zitao believes that this should be a work from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

    Overall, this elephant statue has a vivid image and intricate decorations, which fully reflects the creative talents of craftsmen in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.  If there are no problems, it is a rare treasure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
