    Meng Zitao secretly observed the guests in the room. Shopkeeper Xia had already arrived. Since he had been reminded in advance, he didn't look nervous now.

    In addition, sitting not far from Shopkeeper Xia was Meng Zitao¡¯s colleague. Considering that this exchange meeting seemed unusual, the department arranged for people to come over to investigate, and also to ensure Meng Zitao¡¯s safety.

    Except for shopkeeper Xia and department colleagues, everyone else should be cultural relic dealers, and many people have a bad impression of Meng Zitao, so they probably are not doing legitimate business.

    Then, Meng Zitao looked at the surrounding environment. The furnishings here were very grand. Opposite everyone was a long table made of huanghuali. The color of the table was like amber, with a crystal-clear pulp and scattered spots of "ghost faces".  The hexagonal pieces are joined together and seamlessly formed into the main frame of huanghuali, with boxwood table top decoration inlaid in the middle.  The workmanship is simple and exquisite.

    On the left side of the long table, there are two exquisitely crafted Taishi chairs, and a small coffee table, which is a very standard living room layout.  If it were placed in ancient times, it would not be so impressive unless it was a high-ranking official.

    After a while, Pan Yihui reminded Meng Zitao that the exchange meeting was about to begin.

    Immediately afterwards, Meng Zitao saw several tall and thick men putting the things they were holding on the table. They moved about fifty or sixty items in one go, and some of the larger ones were placed on the ground next to the table.

    Pan Yihui said to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Shi, in the next half hour, everyone can appreciate these things at will."

    "Then let's go."

    Meng Zitao got up and came to the long table, and others came too. Everyone picked up their favorite utensils and looked at them.

    Meng Zitao did not act rashly. He first looked at the artifacts on the table. It can be seen that a considerable number of them are newly unearthed cultural relics.  However, it is obvious that the owner has no experience in preserving unearthed cultural relics, and some artifacts have been permanently damaged due to the incorrect preservation environment.

    Meng Zitao sighed secretly, picked up an ear cup and looked at it.

    The ear cups are oval-shaped, with an arc-shaped ear on each side.  Most of them are painted wooden bodies, and some have gilt copper ornaments on the two ears or are made entirely of copper.

    The ear cup in Meng Zitao's hand is a gilt silver ear cup. The walls of the cup are engraved with figures, pines and cypresses, and auspicious animals. On one side are immortal figures with fluttering fairy mantles, on the other side are marching troops marching high and mighty; while at the bottom of the cup are figures of Hu  People dance to music, with one person dancing in the center and six musicians sitting cross-legged around it. Musical instruments such as harp, sheng, and flute can all be seen among them.  Seven people were dressed in Hu clothes and turbans, and three had beards, enjoying themselves happily.  The edge of the ear cup is decorated with a curly grass pattern, and the whole body is covered with fish roe.  The back of the ear cups is also decorated with curly grass patterns, with spirit animals running and playing among them.

    The unearthed traces of this ear cup are very obvious, and the gilding has fallen off in many places, but it can still be seen that it is exquisitely made.  Judging from the characteristics of the decoration, this ear cup should be a product of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

    Next, Meng Zitao looked at a few more things, all of which were products of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Not surprisingly, someone should have dug an ancient tomb from the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

    Other people at the scene also came out one after another. These people are all veteran antiques. Everyone aimed at the target they were eyeing and observed carefully. During the process, most people's expressions were very calm. They wanted to judge the object from their expressions.  Authenticity is obviously impossible.

    There was only one fat man, who didn¡¯t seem to be an expert. He looked at this, touched that, saw a mask, and tried to put it on. He laughed twice from time to time, just like a fool.

    "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

    Nearly half an hour later, an old man walked in.

    When Meng Zitao saw this person, he was very surprised, because this old man was the housekeeper Zhang whom he had met at Zhu Zhongshi.

    "Hello, Mr. He." Many people at the scene greeted the old man respectfully.

    "You're pretending to be a ghost!" Meng Zitao sneered secretly. It seems that this Butler Zhang is the He Yanjun introduced by Pan Yihui before.

    "You're welcome." He Yanjun laughed and waved to everyone, his tone was extremely easy-going.

    He Yanjun walked to a Taishi chair and sat down. Someone immediately served him a cup of tea. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "Since I entered the industry, I have only been able to establish this career thanks to your love. This period  I have collected some ancient relics over time, and naturally I want to share them with you.¡±

    "You're welcome, Mr. He."

    ¡°Okay, without further ado, let¡¯s get started.¡±

    He Yanjun looked at the fat man: "Fat Chen, you came all the way from the Northeast to choose a birthday gift for Mr. Chen. You should choose one first."

    "Thank you, Mr. He!" the fat man said excitedlyIt couldn't be easier now.

    "Soldiers will block it, water will cover it." Even if there is danger, Meng Zitao will definitely go. He wants to see what "Steward Zhang" is up to.

    After lunch, the driver drove the two of them off. After another hour or two, the car stopped.

    After getting out of the car, the first thing that caught his eye was the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, which made Meng Zitao feel relaxed and happy.

    Such a beautiful place, but the surroundings are very desolate. There is only an old house not far away that looks to be quite old. At this moment, several cars have been parked in front of the old house. Someone must have arrived first.  What made Meng Zitao feel weird was that when he was eating just now, he didn't meet anyone who had attended the previous exchange meeting.

    Then, the driver told them that this was their destination and took them towards the house.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
