    After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s story, the store owner was a little surprised and said with a smile: ¡°It seems that Mr. is also knowledgeable.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled. The reason why he bothered to explain was to remind the store that he was knowledgeable and should not treat himself and others as a stick.

    He Wanyi asked Meng Zitao: "Zitao, what do you think of this bracelet? Can you buy it?"

    Meng Zitao whispered to her: "The bracelet is okay, but most of the jewelry embedded in it were added later."

    Sima Yuelan next to him heard this and said in surprise: "Ah! How could it be a later addition?"

    Sima Yuelan¡¯s voice was a bit loud, and the store owner heard it. Of course he would not admit it. He frowned and said in a somewhat rude tone: "Sir, you must have some basis for saying that, right?"

    Originally, Meng Zitao didn't want to waste words, but because of the store's bad attitude, he had to say something: "Let's not talk about anything else. The turquoise on this bracelet is wrong. If I read it correctly, it is probably modified turquoise.  Bar?",

    Turquoise is no stranger to those who are familiar with jewelry. It is also one of the most popular gemstones on the market today. Since there are too few high-quality turquoises, in order to improve the appearance and color of some lower-quality natural turquoises, improve their durability and  To make it easy to polish and polish but not easy to break, methods such as wax injection and injection molding are usually used to modify natural turquoise.

    This approach is generally recognized by the jewelry industry, and the main component of modified turquoise is still natural. However, after the modification process, a lot of natural energy is lost. If you buy it to obtain energy from turquoise, this kind of  It is best not to buy modified turquoise.

    The store owner shook his head: "What's the basis?"

    Meng Zitao looked at the store: "Boss, you don't think that this turquoise is treated with 'zachery', so you can't tell, right?"

    The store owner was slightly startled. Meng Zitao actually knew how to deal with "zachery", which was obviously beyond his expectation.

    "Zachery" treatment is also called electroplating method and potassium salt dyeing method in the market, and is used to improve medium and high-grade turquoise.  This method was invented by Zachery himself and has applied for a personal patent. The specific process is confidential.

    According to Zachery¡¯s own statement: no color-causing ions such as copper and iron ions in natural turquoise were added during the processing, nor were fillers such as plastic, wax, paint, etc. injected, but the possibility of adding other compounds to reduce the porosity of turquoise is not ruled out.  , the entire processing process takes 3-6 weeks.

    The turquoise treated by Zachery is consistent with natural untreated turquoise in many gemological characteristics. It is difficult for ordinary people to identify it, but fake ones are fake, and there are always ways to identify them.

    Meng Zitao then said: "Boss, if you want proof, I'll ask someone to buy some oxalic acid. You'll know after a try. If I'm wrong, I can buy this bracelet at twice the market price."

    Seeing the embarrassed look on the store's face, He Wanyi decided to retreat and said: "This kind of experiment should be destructive. It's a pity to treat a good bracelet like this. Boss, how much does this bracelet cost? If it suits me, I will buy it."  "

    The store owner stepped down and said immediately: "Let's give you the cost price of 1,500."

    Seeing Meng Zitao nodding, He Wanyi was about to swipe her card to pay.

    At this time, Meng Zitao heard someone calling him. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Xue Wenguang running towards him.

    Xue Wenguang trotted up to Meng Zitao, with a smile on his face, and handed the thing in his hand to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, this is what you want."

    Meng Zitao took it and looked at it. Except for the time and place, there was no special indication on it.

    ¡°Can we go with this?¡±

    "Yes, let's go to this place together then."

    "Okay, we will contact you then."

    Meng Zitao nodded and smiled when he saw Xue Wenguang's hopeful look on his face: "Have you tried it today?"

    "Nonsense, how can I come to you if you don't try?" Xue Wenguang cursed his mother in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Young Master Meng is really good!"

    Meng Zitao said with a half-smile: "That sounds nice, but you must be scolding me in your belly, right?"

    "How can this be possible!" Xue Wenguang said in his heart: "You know why you ask!"

    "Okay, once the auction is settled, I will help you untie it."

    "Mr. Meng, thank you!"

    At this time, the store owner came out, saw Xue Wenguang, and said in surprise: "Teacher Jiang, what brought you here?"

    "I'll send something to Mr. Meng." Xue Wenguang said.

    The store owner heard Xue Wenguang¡¯s wordsIt can be seen that each piece is a masterpiece.  This is normal. Even if the estimated value of ten antiques is 30 million, each one is worth 3 million on average.

    Yu Boda first asked someone to unfold one of the paintings for Xie Yi to appreciate.

    As soon as the scroll was opened, Xie Yi's eyes lit up. Not only him, but also Meng Zitao and others next to him were also very interested, because the painting was none other than Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The content was "Apricot Blossom".  picture".

    Qianlong¡¯s calligraphy and painting can be regarded as the best among the calligraphy and painting of Qing Dynasty emperors and empresses in terms of the number of works, artistic quality and historical connotation.  However, among the thousands of paintings handed down from generation to generation, most of them imitate and replicate ancient times. The number of works that record and express his daily government affairs, life experiences, and inner feelings is relatively small. "Apricot Blossom Picture" belongs to the latter.

    On the basis of realism, such works may express Qianlong's nostalgic thoughts as an outstanding politician, or they may reflect his true side of being close to nature, sensitive and tender, although he was a king.

    These royal brush works are valued by scholars and collectors, not only because of Qianlong's special status or the scarcity of such subjects, but more importantly, with the deepening and refinement of Qing history research, calligraphy and painting works have played a general role with their unique perspectives and functions.  The vivid images and pictures that cannot be matched by historical materials prove the role of history.

    The upper part of the picture is an imperial poem, while the lower part is made of ink mixed with ocher, using a combination of sketching and dotting techniques to show that the skin of apricot branches is heavy and rough after being soaked by rain and snow.  The texture of the apricot blossoms; in the description of the apricot blossoms, he did not choose a pale pink that is closer to reality like Zou Yigui did, but used a red that is as bright as the morning glow, as if the apricot blossoms are smiling in the light rain, and are not inferior to the graceful beauty of the plum blossoms.  , sparse and bright, with a branch of crimson cloud.  The seals of this picture are "Qianlong" and "Treasure of the Ancient Rare Emperor".

    Li Huigang said in surprise: "Boss Yu was so willing to show up that he even brought out Qianlong's paintings."

    Yu Boda smiled bitterly and said: "I have no choice, otherwise I don't know how many years and months it will take to pay off Mr. Li's debt. I feel very uneasy now. I don't know how Mr. Xie will judge it."

    Li Huigang smiled and said nothing more.

    Xie Yi appreciating the paintings attentively, while the shopkeeper and Xue Wenguang appraised five antiques besides calligraphy and paintings. Of course, Meng Zitao would not miss them and appreciated them carefully.

    Xie Yi conducted the appraisal very carefully, and of course the speed was relatively slow. It was almost noon, and he hadn¡¯t finished the appraisal yet, so everyone had lunch before continuing.

    After lunch, everyone had tea, and Xie Yi also got the results.

    "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you have worked really hard today." Li Huigang said.

    Xie Yi waved his hand: "I'm old and my physical strength is running out, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long. Let's talk about the results first."

    Li Huigang and Yu Boda quickly pricked up their ears and heard Xie Yi continue: "After our agreement, a total of three of these ten antiques were not accurate."

    Everyone knows what it means to be unclear. Yu Boda's face changed slightly and he said to Xie Yi: "Mr. Xie, I wonder which three items are problematic?"

    "The first is Qianlong's "Apricot Blossom Picture""

    As soon as Xie Yigang said this, Yu Boda's face changed suddenly and he interrupted hastily: "Mr. Xie, do you think there is something wrong with "Apricot Blossom Picture"?"

    "Unfortunately, yes." Xie Yi said.

    "Please make it clear." Yu Boda clasped his fists.

    Xie Yi nodded and began to explain: "Qianlong highly admired the style of Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty and integrated it into his own creations. As far as specific works are concerned, his painting style is consistent with Zhao Mengfu's. It is mainly soft and beautiful.  Although restricted by his status, experience and even artistic talent, his paintings cannot reach the height of Zhao Mengfu in terms of brushwork and charm."

    "But it is precisely because of his special status as an emperor that his paintings are different from Zhao Mengfu's literati paintings. They have a graceful and magnanimous imperial atmosphere that transcends all things. In this regard, it can even be said that Qianlong's paintings surpassed Zhao Mengfu.  This is also one of the key points in identifying the authenticity of Qianlong's paintings. Any suspected Qianlong paintings that do not have this kind of temperament and are even a little cramped are highly questionable. This painting has this problem."
