    "Well¡­¡­"

    Seeing Xu Xinqing mentioning his jade pendant, the old man hesitated, probably because he was worried that Meng Zitao would say it was a fake.

    The aunt immediately sarcastically said: "Old man, haven't you been saying all day long that that thing of yours is real? Why don't you even have the courage to show it to the teacher now?"

    "What are you talking about? Why don't I dare to show it to the experts!" The old man was easily provoked and immediately took out his precious jade pendant: "Teacher Meng, please help me take a look. I'll be here."  If you don¡¯t believe it, this will be a fake!¡±

    As soon as the thing came into his hands, Meng Zitao knew that it was definitely a fake. As far as the carving work was concerned, it was obviously machine work, let alone the material. Meng Zitao was a little confused. Why did the old man treat it as a treasure? Could it be  Are you deceiving yourself?

    Meng Zitao could have said immediately that there was something wrong with the jade pendant, but considering the old man's mood, he still took a little more time before coming to a conclusion.

    When the old man heard the result, it was really difficult to accept it: "Teacher Meng, why don't you take a look again?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Old sir, I think it's nothing, you don't have to be so entangled, just talk about me, I used to have my eyes pierced a lot, but I never stopped eating because of choking."

    The old man looked at the jade pendant steadily: "This no, how could there be something wrong with such a beautiful jade pendant?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Let me tell you the truth. Although this jade pendant is made of jade, it is actually electro-chromatic."

    Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, there are many ways to fake jade. Among them, the more difficult to distinguish is electrochromic fake jade. This kind of fake jade refers to plating inferior jade with a beautiful emerald green appearance through electroplating. It is easy to mistake  Thought it was real jade.

    Meng Zitao continued: "Do you know anything about the identification of this kind of electro-colored fake jade?"

    The old man shook his head.

    Meng Zitao wanted to pass the jade pendant and explained: "If you look carefully, you can see some small green and blue cracks on it, which are fake jade. Because cracks will be left during electroplating, experts call them 'spider claws'."

    The old man also saw the characteristics mentioned by Meng Zitao, and said tangledly: "Could this be a characteristic left by nature?"

    "Uncle"

    Meng Zitao waved his hand and interrupted Xu Xinqing: "How about we do a destructive experiment to prove that this is electro-colored fake jade. If there is no problem, the loss will be mine."

    The aunt was furious and said: "Old man, the experts and teachers have said so, how long are you going to persist in your stubbornness!"

    Xu Xinqing took over and said: "Uncle, I know you are in a bad mood because you were defrauded of your money, but you can make more money if you lose it. If you continue to have physical problems like this, money can't buy it back. Besides, this  A flower arrangement is worth 400,000 yuan, so there is no need to worry about money for the time being."

    The old man was silent for a moment, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, forget it, just think of it as a nightmare."

    Seeing what the old man said, Auntie and Xu Xinqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time expressed their gratitude to Meng Zitao.

    The old man put the jade pendant away silently. When the aunt saw it, she quickly asked: "Why are you still putting it away?"

    ¡°I take it as a lesson to remind myself that it¡¯s not okay!¡±

    The old man snorted angrily, and then asked Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, what is the method you just mentioned?"

    Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's actually quite simple, but few people do it. Specifically, you put it in a frying pan and cook it. It won't take long for the color to return to its original state."

    "So that's what happened." The old man suddenly realized, and said: "People nowadays are so smart that they can even think of such a method."

    The aunt murmured: "Smartness is smart, but it is used in too many evil ways. We ordinary people will be deceived if we are not careful."

    Xu Xinqing quickly signaled to her aunt not to mention this matter again, lest her uncle think of sad things again. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

    The aunt quickly kept silent. She had had enough for more than half a year. Seeing her husband getting better, she had no place to cry because she had ruined things by talking too much.

    At this time, Meng Zitao pointed to the remaining jade in the box and asked, "Old sir, can I see this jade?"

    "Of course, no problem." The old man noticed that there was a piece of jade lying in the box and agreed casually, falling into memories.

    This is a Shanzi, not very big. Although it uses Khotan jade, the quality of the jade is relatively ordinary.  However, the jade carvingIt was agreed.

    Auntie called the restaurant and ordered a few dishes, then went back to the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian dishes. The remaining three of them chatted about antiques.

    Talking about his collection for many years, the old man became upset: "It's all those black-hearted swindlers who caused me to dispose of most of the collection for many years, leaving only some worthless trinkets. I feel depressed now thinking about it.  "

    Xu Xinqing hurriedly said: "Uncle, as I said before, look at it a little more. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come."

    "Hey, that's just what I thought about." The old man scratched his head with a look of helplessness. After a moment, he remembered something: "Teacher Meng, how was the market situation of purses in the Qing Dynasty?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "Purse is a niche collection. The value depends on whether it is from the palace or the private sector, and also depends on the craftsmanship used."

    The old man said: "I have three pieces of female red. They should all be from the palace in the late Qing Dynasty. I don't know much about the production process."

    "You can bring it to me and take a look."

    "Okay, please wait a moment."

    After a while, the old man came back with his things. The three items were daily necessities at that time, namely a purse, a glasses case and a key case.

    ? Among them, the purse is a waist-shaped bag, which is used for daily placement of money and banknotes. It can be carried with you or placed in a bag without hanging.  In the center of this purse is a large peony embroidered with Na yarn, and around it are embroidered begonias, chrysanthemums, lotus, etc.  The glasses cover is made of white satin ground with embroidered Shoushan stones, red-crowned cranes, pine trees and birds on one side, which means "songs and cranes prolong life", and peonies and roosters on the other side, which means "family wealth".  The key bag is made of heddle embroidered flowers on a red satin ground in a light and elegant color.

    Meng Zitao picked it up and took a look, and he knew it well: "This should be made of 'Nasha'."

    Na yarn is one of the traditional embroidery stitches in my country.  It is one of the Suzhou embroidery yarn embroidery stitches.  Suzhou embroidery is called "poke yarn", while northern embroidery is called "na yarn".  Use plain yarn as the embroidery base, embroider the pattern completely with colored silk, and leave a gauze ground around it.  The colors are used in the order of the pattern, either dark on the inside and light on the outside or dark on the outside and light on the inside.  It is suitable for embroidering quilt covers and bed blankets in practical embroidery and character costumes in appreciation embroidery.

    "How much is it worth?"

    "The three pieces of embroidery you have are quite good, but this kind of collection is relatively niche and is not sought after by capital, so there is no hype, so the value is not very high. The three pieces of yours together are probably worth about thirty thousand.  "

    "In other words, one item is ten thousand?"

    "Of course not. If it were a single piece, it would definitely be cheaper. And to be honest, if you meet someone you like, it's okay, otherwise 30,000 yuan might be too much."

    The old man looked at his things and said: "Forget it, in this case, I'll keep it for myself. Speaking of which, when I was a child, purses were still a common thing, but now they have been replaced by wallets. In terms of practicality,  A wallet is no worse than a wallet."

    In fact, the history of wearing purses in our country can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. "Book of Rites Nei Principles" says: "When a son serves his parents, he wears tassels on his left and right sides to suit his parents, uncles and aunts." That is to say, young people go to see their parents.  Parents and elders should wear "jinying", which is a woven sachet (purse), to show respect for their elders.

    By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, carrying bags as a system was formally established.  Later, the pouch gradually became a kind of proof of identity. The "Book of Sui Etiquette" clearly stipulated that: officials of the second rank and above wore bags "woven of gold"; officials of the third rank wore bags "woven of silver".  "Made"; officials above the fifth rank and below the third rank use "made of silk".  From then on, the custom of wearing purses continued until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

    But then, as clothing became increasingly westernized and fashionable, the custom of wearing purses gradually disappeared, and now everyone has little idea of ??purses.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "There were no various bank cards back then. In fact, this is also due to the development of the times. There are things suitable for every period. Maybe in the near future, we won't even use wallets.  "

    Xu Xinqing said: "This is impossible. You can't put all the money in your pocket. That would be very inconvenient."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Who knows."

    ¡°Teacher Meng, I have one more thing here, and I would like to trouble you to take a look at it again.¡±

    Meng Zitao was stunned when he saw what the old man took out (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
