Song Mingjie laughed: "How can others laugh at you? I think it's more like envying you."
¡°That¡¯s right, there are so many treasures that are hard to come by. I would envy them too.¡±
Lu Wenle also laughed, and then asked: "By the way, junior brother, when did you start getting into contact with antiques?"
Meng Zitao thought for a while and replied: "More than four years, it will be five years in a few months."
When Song Mingjie and Lu Wenle heard this answer, they immediately felt that it was quite normal. If Meng Zitao answered that he had only studied for one or two years, they would have had the idea of ??wasting their time in vain.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Meng Zitao secretly laughed in his heart. If they knew that these leaks were all picked up by him in the past few months, he didn't know how they would feel.
Of course, he would definitely not take the initiative to say this kind of thing, because it is too blatant, and many people will probably wonder why they didn't catch it before. In just a few months, there will be such a big change. A little too unusual, right? Maybe his secret will be revealed.
After the four apprentices chatted for a while, Zheng Anzhi took out a brocade box and placed it in front of Meng Zitao: "Open it and take a look. This is my gift to you."
Meng Zitao said a few polite words, then opened the box and took a look, only to see a jade vase inside. As soon as the thing caught his eye, he felt that it was extraordinary.
This jade vase is carved from Khotanese white jade. The jade quality is warm and delicate, and the shape is tall and nearly 20 centimeters. In terms of material alone, it is extremely rare.
The body of the bottle is embossed with a low-relief lotus pattern. The petals of the lotus are full and thick, blooming to their heart's content. The lotus leaves are stretched, and the internal and external veins are exposed naturally, as if there is a breeze blowing by. The lotus leaves are scattered in an orderly manner, with different heights, and are concentrated on the bottle. abdomen.
The whole jade vase has perfect proportions, ingenious design, profound artistic conception, echoing up and down, realistic shape, smooth and vigorous knife skills, natural, vivid, clear and elegant, fully displaying the noble, elegant and otherworldly artistic conception of the lotus.
??As for the whole vessel, the shape is antique, elegant and handsome, the carving is exquisite, the knife skills are sharp, the lines are smooth and natural, the inside of the bottle is clean and neat, and the polishing is fine, making it an exquisite work of jade. Although it seems to be made in a modern way based on the patina and other aspects, it is also certain that it was made by a master.
In addition, the body of the bottle is also engraved with the saying "It comes out of the silt without being stained, and it washes away the clear ripples without being evil", which is an eternal saying. The reason why Zheng Anzhi gave this gift is unclear.
Meng Zitao looked at the jade bottle and said quickly: "Master, this gift is too precious"
Before he could finish his words, Zheng Anzhi waved his hand: "Don't be verbose. There is no reason to take back what I gave away."
Song Mingjie smiled and said: "Junior brother, don't be embarrassed. The meeting gift that the master gave us was also very expensive. If we really count it out, you will still suffer a loss."
Lu Wenle smiled and said: "Yes, if you don't accept it, what will we do?"
Since everyone said so, Meng Zitao no longer hesitated, said some words of thanks, and accepted the gift.
"Junior brother, what is your current academic qualification?" Lu Wenle asked.
"I graduated from a vocational high school." Meng Zitao said a little embarrassed.
Lu Wenle smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter? Reading is also about talent and luck."
Meng Zitao scratched his head: "The main reason is that I was ignorant in junior high school and always indulged in going to the game arcade, so I also fell behind in my studies."
¡°So, it¡¯s better to lose one¡¯s ambition by playing with things, and we must learn from this lesson in the future.¡± Zheng Anzhi said with a smile.
"Well, I will definitely keep this lesson in mind."
Meng Zitao nodded solemnly, and then said: "I am taking a self-study exam now to make up for my academic qualifications."
Lu Wenle said: "It's good that you have this intention, but the self-study exam is too time-consuming. Do you want me to help you with it?"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Senior brother, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to pass the exam based on my own ability, and I also take the opportunity to study."
Zheng Anzhi said: "Zitao's idea is good. You should learn more when you are young. When you get older and your memory is no longer good, you can get twice the result with half the effort if you want to learn."
Lu Wenle smiled and said: "I'm not saying that studying is not good, but how many of the knowledge in books can be used? Instead of spending it on that, it is better to learn some professional knowledge to improve your abilities."
Zheng Anzhi reprimanded: "You are still a professor, so you have the nerve to say this. Of course it is useless if you say that you study to death, but 'everything in the world is knowledgeable, and peopleYou are actually the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot! "
Meng Zitao smiled bitterly and said, "Where are you talking about?"
"Hmph! Don't tell me that you are not here for a blind date today!" Xiaoyun sneered.
After Meng Zitao heard this, a thought immediately flashed through his mind, and he said to Shu Wanyi in shock, "Could it be that the woman Aunt Qian mentioned is you?"
"What does it have to do with Wanyi or not?" Xiaoyun said like a machine gun: "I can see clearly, you look sanctimonious, but in fact you are the same as other stinky men!"
Meng Zitao said quickly: "What you said is too exaggerated. Besides, I didn't expect this blind date to be successful."
"If you don't want to succeed, then why come here?" Xiaoyun asked.
Meng Zitao replied: "My parents agreed, and Aunt Qian said it was the last time she would introduce someone to me. If I don't come, it will really be hard to save my face."
Xiaoyun said: "In other words, you have been on blind dates many times before, but none of them were successful?"
Meng Zitao quickly explained: "It's not my fault."
Xiaoyun said: "Maybe it was someone else's fault once or twice. It didn't work out so many times. I guess you have a problem too, right?"
Meng Zitao named two of the examples and spread his hands: "If you think this is my fault, then I have nothing to say."
"Can't they all be like this?" This time Xiaoyun was a little stunned, and He Wanyi also felt a little unbelievable.
"No, I feel speechless." Meng Zitao shook his head helplessly: "Originally, I thought I encountered something weird again today, but I didn't expect Aunt Qian to be reliable for once."
Speaking of this, Meng Zitao smiled at He Wanyi, and He Wanyi immediately turned her head away in embarrassment.
"Humph, who knows whether what you said is true or false?" Xiaoyun said.
Meng Zitao said hurriedly: "You only need to inquire about this matter, and you will know whether what I said is true."
Xiaoyun stared at Meng Zitao for a while, then smiled at He Wanyi: "Look, I told you it's okay."
He Wanyi glared at her: "When did I say something was wrong?"
"Since it's okay, then why didn't someone want to come in just now?" Xiaoyun said with a smile.
He Wanyi said frankly: "That's because I feel embarrassed."
Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Hey, I can't see it."
He Wanyi wrinkled her nose: "You are serious, girl. Do you have to get to the bottom of it?"
"Okay, then I don't care about your business, that's okay." Xiaoyun spread his hands.
"snort!"
At this time, Meng Zitao quickly asked: "What do you want to drink?"
"Let's go somewhere else." Xiao Yun nuzzled at the curious waiter.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zitao and He Wanyi were both a little embarrassed. Meng Zitao quickly went to pay the bill, and the three of them walked out of the cafe together.
After coming out of the cafe, Meng Zitao suggested: "Let's find a place to sit."
He Wanyi thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the nearby park for a stroll. I haven't been here for a long time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
