    Shu Ze said in surprise: "Hey, I looked here just now, and I didn't seem to notice the color inconsistency."

    Meng Zitao smiled and looked at the light that was now several times brighter: "This is called the wonderful use of light."

    Shu Ze shook his head and smiled: "This guy doesn't have great wisdom. He has a lot of crooked ideas. As the old saying goes, it's not until the time comes that you don't get retribution. I think he just used too many crooked ideas and got retribution."

    "Come on, don't worry about him. You'd better be more careful for a while. This light can still affect your judgment."

    "Hehe, isn't there you?"

    "I really admire you"

    After joking for a while, the two of them concentrated on appreciating the antiques in front of them.

    After more than an hour, everyone had looked through almost all the collections in the room.

    Speaking of which, although Jia Shiying's collection is good, it is only for ordinary people. For people like Meng Zitao, who can see national treasure-level cultural relics every now and then, it is actually only average, and at most it is above average. It can really make them  There are only five or six items that are of great interest.

    But there are three of them now, which is a bit small. There will definitely be a fight for them soon.

    However, through previous investigations and what I learned from Zhao Yucheng, Jia Shiying should have more than these collections of high-quality or rare antiques.

    So where are the other collections?

    ¡°One possibility is that it was bought by someone else. Another possibility is that Jia Shiying did it deliberately. Judging from Jia Shiying¡¯s character, the second possibility is obviously higher.

    Under this situation, Meng Zitao felt that he could not sit still and wait for death, and should think of a way, otherwise Jia Shiying, a fisherman, would definitely benefit.

    However, Meng Zitao felt a little embarrassed, because he was obviously not happy to be asked to cooperate with Xi Zhengzhen, but then again, he was also quite unhappy with Jia Shiying's character and behavior.

    As the old saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. Meng Zitao thought for a moment and made up his mind.  After that, he looked at Xi Zhengzhen.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it was a coincidence or because the two of them had the same idea at the same time, but Xi Zhengzhen also happened to look at Meng Zitao at this time.  Both of them smiled slightly, and they could see from the expressions on each other that the other party had the same idea as them.

    This scene was seen by Shu Ze who was next to Meng Zitao. He asked, "Why are you and Xi Zheng really flirting with each other?"

    Meng Zitao said dumbfounded: "What are you talking about? We are just discussing matters."

    "What's the matter?" Shu Ze asked.

    ¡°What else can be done, of course it will be about bidding later.¡± Meng Zitao said.

    Shu Ze patted Meng Zitao on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Okay, I finally have some businessman consciousness. However, can you make things clear with your flirtations like this?"

    Meng Zitao said hesitantly: "I think everyone should be aware of it."

    "Come on, you two still have telepathy!" Shu Ze said with a smile.

    "Don't sound so disgusting, there is no telepathy between me and him."

    Meng Zitao laughed and cursed, then said, "What do you mean, do you want me to discuss it with him?"

    Meng Zitao was not very happy about this. Originally, he felt that it was quite embarrassing to be able to do that just now, but now it was really impossible for him to tell Xi Zhengzhen directly.

    Shu Ze said: "Look at you, I just said that you have the consciousness of a businessman, but you shrink back at the critical moment. I really don't know what to say about you."

    Meng Zitao said with some embarrassment: "You don't know his relationship with Uncle Wang. If you lose face, it's nothing to me. I'm afraid it will also affect Uncle Wang."

    "How could Uncle Wang blame you for this kind of thing? The key is that you don't want to, right?"

    Shu Ze saw Meng Zitao's thoughts at a glance and said: "Actually, you should change your mind. You can save at least tens of thousands of dollars by just talking, so why not do it? How can you be a businessman if you don't have a thick skin?  !¡±

    Meng Zitao giggled. If it were in the past, it would be nothing to sacrifice a little face for tens of thousands of dollars. As long as it does not insult his personality, he can do anything within his ability.

    However, now that he has superpowers, he will pay more attention to his own preferences. If it weren't for his dislike of Jia Shiying's personality, he would not have thought of cooperating with Xi Zhengzhen.

    Seeing that Meng Zitao was unmoved, Shu Ze said, "I'm really convinced by you. I'll go tell him."

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Meng Zitao to speak,, he said: "I like your incense stick more. I wonder if Shopkeeper Xi is willing to part with it?"

    The so-called incense stick is actually a tool used to purify indoor air in ancient times, or a sacrificial offering. If it is used for the former purpose, special spices or fragrant flowers are usually directly put into the incense stick when using it, and the aroma will be released.  It overflows from the pores in the cylinder wall and lid and is an indispensable daily necessities for wealthy people in ancient times.

    If it is an offering utensil, it is used to place incense sticks. In ancient times, sacrifices were very important. Therefore, the workmanship and decoration were exquisite and decorated with various auspicious patterns to show devout respect for the gods and ancestors.

    Just like the incense stick chosen by Xi Zhengzhen, it is very exquisite in workmanship. It is made of bamboo, has a straight-through type, and the rim and base are inlaid with mahogany.  The outer wall is carved with openwork and high relief carvings, decorated with patterns of the Eight Immortals, which reveal profound and skillful carvings.

    This vessel is in good condition, with a moist patina and clear carvings. Although the decorations are all over the vessel, the layout is appropriate and natural. It is a masterpiece among the incense sticks of the early Qing Dynasty.

    In fact, Meng Zitao has long been interested in this incense stick, but just now he had other more valuable collections to choose from, and in the end he could only watch helplessly as Xi Zhengzhen took them away.

    Xi Zhengzhen pointed to the collection in front of Meng Zitao and said, "I want to replace this white jade snuff bottle and this sea beast grape mirror."

    Meng Zitao refused directly: "The incense stick is only worth 550,000, but our two items are worth 700,000, and the prices are not equal."

    "Seven hundred thousand, not necessarily. Let me talk about this sea beast grape mirror first"

    Although Xi Zhengzhen¡¯s appraisal is a little worse, he has nothing to say about the prices of antiques. He explains everything at what price and why. Most people really can¡¯t tell.

    But Meng Zitao had learned from Boji that he could easily get the data from various auctions, so he was not afraid of Xi Zhengzhen at all in this regard.

    Finding that Meng Zitao's performance was far beyond his expectation, Xi Zhengzhen also admired Meng Zitao in his heart. After all, it was not easy for Meng Zitao to perform like this at his age.

    But when he thought about his relationship with Meng Zitao, Xi Zhengzhen couldn't be happy. It was obvious that the more beneficial Meng Zitao was, the more disadvantageous it was to him.

    "I will add another hundred thousand, this is my limit." Xi Zhengzhen said forcefully.

    Meng Zitao and Shu Ze discussed in a low voice and finally agreed to the price.

    "Then it's settled." Xi Zhengzhen seemed very happy on the surface, but he felt aggrieved when he thought that he had to bow to a young man like Meng Zitao.

    However, he had no other options to think about. If Meng Zitao did not have his current status, he would have to suppress him. Now, he could only try to avoid conflict with Meng Zitao, lest he become an unrelenting enemy.

    Next, Xi Zhengzhen wanted to exchange for the two most valuable collections that Meng Zitao had just obtained, but Meng Zitao did not agree, which made Xi Zhengzhen even more depressed.

    Because of Meng Zitao's successive rejections, Xi Zhengzhen became a little angry. He stared at Meng Zitao and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, this blue and white military holder should be fine, right?"

    The gunchi was originally a vessel used by Buddhist monks for drinking and washing hands. It was introduced to China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it was continuously produced in the southern and northern kilns and exported in large quantities.

    Meng Zitao would not care about Xi Zhengzhen, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xi, you should know the value of this Yuan blue and white military weapon. You can do it if you want it, but you must exchange it for something."

    "Is this Yuan Qinghua?" Shu Ze was drinking tea boredly. When he heard the three words "Yuan Qinghua", he jumped up from his chair.

    Meng Zitao knew that Shu Ze had not studied much about the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, so he did not find it strange and said: "If it is not Yuan blue and white, it must be worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. This is Yuan blue and white made of domestically produced green materials.  It¡¯s definitely not as precious as imported green materials.¡±

    "How do you know this is domestically produced green material, and it must be Yuan blue and white?" Shu Ze asked curiously.

    Meng Zitao wanted to use the opportunity of explanation to increase the price of this military holding, saying: "The domestic green material used in Yuan blue and white is high in manganese and high aluminum, which is very different from the imported material at the same time. The blue and white depicted in the  The color of the pattern is blue-gray or blue-black, with shades of light and shade. There are blue-brown or yellow-brown spots where the green material accumulates, and there are fewer dark-brown spots." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
