The next day, they packed their luggage and prepared to return. Unexpectedly, when they had just walked downstairs to check out, a boy suddenly rushed in and took advantage of Qiao Meng to cut off the bag behind his back, snatch it away and leave quickly.
.
Qiao Meng was completely confused. This happened so suddenly and the boy's technique was surprisingly fast. He must have practiced for many days.
"Chase, chase!" Qiao Meng said and already ran out on his own. Bai Du and Bai Feili also reacted and followed closely behind. Only the two old men were left with their eyes facing each other.
"Qiao Meng, what's in your bag?" Bai Du saw Qiao Meng's anxious look and guessed that something important must have been taken away.
"Seven-star sword, my seven-star sword!" Qiao Meng shouted loudly, and he was extremely angry. He really didn't know why he was so unlucky to be robbed by a boy before he even left the hotel door so early in the morning.
"How could it be robbed? This must not be simple." Baidu suddenly guessed that this matter was definitely not simple, otherwise how could it be so accidental.
"I know it's not easy, but we should go recover things first instead of listening to your analysis of what's going on!" Qiao Meng rolled his eyes again.
While they were looking around, the little boy had already rushed to the place agreed upon by Wanhang.
"Is this his bag? I thought you would steal the wallet." Wan Hang said with a twitch in his mouth.
"This... this is what he has been carrying. There must be something important in it, I'm sure." Seeing that Wan Hang was not very satisfied with his results, the boy explained.
"Oh, then let me see what important goodies there are." Wan Hang chuckled and opened Qiao Meng's backpack. He immediately saw the extremely dazzling seven-star sword, and his eyes widened.
After taking it out, I pulled out the sword. It was sharp and cold, and it was extremely tempting.
"This is indeed a good thing, haha. You did a good job. Qiao Meng must be looking for you like crazy now. Don't worry, I will make arrangements." After Wan Hang finished speaking, he drove away from the place, and the boy
He was taken away by his men.
Qiao Meng stayed in the provincial capital for three days but still found nothing about this matter, so he finally had to return temporarily.
"Qiao Meng, you've been back for a week, why are you still so depressed? I heard that one of your treasures was snatched away by others. Don't worry about losing so much. Such a big person is still in a mood." Ge Yuling was already like this.
I tried to persuade Qiao Meng for several days, but had no effect at all.
Snap——
"Wake up! What are you doing!" Ge Yuling was very angry and slapped Qiao fiercely.
"Sister Yuling, why did you hit me?" Qiao Meng woke up from the sluggish state immediately after suffering pain.
"Because I thought you were dead." Ge Yuling said dissatisfied.
Qiao Meng was finally awakened by this slap. The seven-star sword was indeed so attractive to him that he felt confused after losing it.
beep beep beep——
The phone rang again at this time.
"Hey, what's wrong, master?" Qiao Meng cheered up and said.
"A friend of mine invited me to be a guest. If you are okay, I want you to come and have a look," Tianlao said.
"Uh, okay, can I take my friends with me?" Qiao Meng asked.
"Of course, this time I just went to have fun and relax." Tianlao said with a smile on the phone.
I haven't seen any action from the mastermind behind the scenes for so many days. After blind man Liu left it to the store to take care of him, he took Ge Yuling to his old friend Tianlao with peace of mind.
The next day they flew directly out of the province and arrived at the capital of Province Z. This old friend looked very rich. They arranged a luxury car to pick them up when they got off the plane, although Qiao Meng was not even close now.
It’s money, but it feels fresh to enjoy this kind of treatment for the first time.
In about forty minutes, a few people arrived in front of the luxurious villa where this old friend lived. As soon as they got off the car, they were already greeted personally at the gate. The old man greeted him a few words and then left.
Please come inside.
This old man is also very lucky. He gave birth to two daughters and one son in total. However, these children now have their own lives, so the villa seems a little deserted. However, those children will come back for holidays and so on.
Visit, visit.
As soon as they sat down, the old man asked his servants to greet them quickly. The hospitality was very strong.
"Mr. Lu, this is a little thought I brought. I hope you like it." Qiao Meng saw that no one was talking and immediately took out the jade ring in his bag to show his friendly attitude.
"You are the beloved disciple Qiao Meng that Tianlong always mentioned to me these days, right? You are indeed a nice person. I don't want the gift, so you don't have to be so polite." Mr. Lu showed off after a while and declined politely.
"Don't bother me. I picked and polished this myself. You will definitely like it. Just accept it." Qiao Meng refused to agree when he heard others refuse to accept gifts. How could he do it here? It would affect his face too much.
"Well, since you are so thoughtful, I will accept this gift." Mr. Lu agreed with a smile.
When he took it in his hand and took a closer look, he realized that it was actually a high-grade glass turquoise jade ring. Looking at the material, the polishing technology, and the carving technique, they were all exquisite. If you want to ask what love at first sight means, take this
This is one of the manifestations.
"Senior Lu, your home is so big. Can I take Sister Yuling to visit?" Qiao Meng thought of this idea when he saw that Mr. Tian seemed to have something to tell Mr. Lu.
"Okay, you go ahead." Mr. Lu happily agreed.
The two left with smiles on their faces. However, they heard a bang just before they left. It turned out that Ge Yuling accidentally knocked over an antique bottle decorated in the hall. It has now been broken into many pieces.
.
"Oh, what's wrong? Is your hand hurt?" Mr. Lu first cared about whether Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling were okay before going to look at his antique vase.
hiss--
When I looked at it, I realized that one of my favorite vases was broken. I felt quite distressed now. I was used to seeing so many thoughts on it. But after it was broken like this, I didn’t know what happened next.
Will it be hard to get used to it?
"I'm really sorry, Senior Lu. We didn't mean it, but this level of damage can still be saved. I can help you repair it." Qiao Meng did not pass all the blame on Ge Yuling, but the two of them shouldered it together.
.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just think it's a pity. And after you have been with me for so many years, it's all God's will. But my nephew can actually repair porcelain. I never heard your master mention it." Mr. Lu was very kind.
said.
Tianlao actually said in his heart: I don’t know, this guy is more capable than me, and now I believe him even if he can fly a plane.
"Senior Lu, I'm going to prepare it now. This piece of porcelain is not simple. It's not easy to get. We can't be so polite just because we are guests." Qiao Meng said positively.
So he put the fragments he could pick up one by one into the prepared plate with his hands. In the process of touching it, he used his treasure appraisal ability to learn about the relevant contents of this piece of porcelain.
"Qing Yongzheng imitation Ru glazed garlic bottle." This is the name of this broken porcelain, which sounds very interesting and meaningful.
"Oh, my nephew seems to have really extensive research on porcelain. Why don't you taste this piece of mine first?" Mr. Lu heard Qiao Meng's words as if he knew a lot about porcelain, and was curious about how much he could say.
Content comes.
"Then, junior, just say it, senior, don't take offense if something is wrong." Qiao Meng said politely.
Then he slowly told everything he knew.
"First of all, this piece of porcelain is 20.7cm tall, 2.2cm in diameter, and 7cm in foot diameter. The entire shape can be seen in the Bronze Age of the Han Dynasty." Qiao Meng said seriously.
"How did my nephew know his size? Didn't you just meet him and only see fragments?" Mr. Lu was very curious.
"Actually, this is not difficult. This junior learned this information from these fragments. Because this is not the first time I have seen this kind of porcelain, I just put what I remember." Qiao Meng said modestly.
"Okay, you have extensive knowledge, please continue." Mr. Lu was obviously very satisfied.
Qiao Meng nodded and continued: "The mouth of this bottle is in the shape of a garlic, with a tied neck, sloping shoulders, a raised string pattern on the shoulders, a hanging belly, and a circle on the bottom of the foot, which is exposed on the sole of the foot.
The tire glaze is made of sauce color, and I think the signature at the bottom should be those six characters."
"Haha, that's nice, but how do you know how to be so detailed?" Mr. Lu continued to ask.
"This is actually not difficult. I got it from the details on the fragments. No matter how broken something is, it is still part of the original piece. If you want to know something, just look carefully." Qiao Meng smiled.
explanation.
Then he continued: "This bottle should also be coated with sauce-colored glaze around the mouth, and green imitation Ru glaze on the entire body and inside the feet. The glaze surface has a major feature, with many fine opening patterns, making it look beautiful.
Very beautiful.”
Now Mr. Lu is really convinced by Qiao Meng. It is really not easy to find out so much content from the broken porcelain. If he didn't know a lot and had many contacts, he wouldn't be able to find it.
So simple.
"Well, let's quickly prepare the adhesive materials." Qiao Meng directly switched back to the original topic.
Next, everyone watched Qiao Meng fussing around. Now that the materials were complete, he quickly finished arranging them.
After getting ready, Qiao Meng said: "We have to roughly find the location of the fragments first, otherwise it won't be possible to repair them if they are damaged."
So a few people began to integrate the usable porcelain fragments bit by bit.
Qiao Meng followed this pattern and glued them together piece by piece. The whole process could not be said to be smoother. A total of more than 40 pieces were stuck together for about an hour, but some of them were too thin.
Other materials can be used instead.
"Oh, that's great. I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so superb, nephew. You're almost catching up with some experts." Mr. Lu was very happy.
A few people just stared at the vase for a long time. It looked like the porcelain was quite beautiful. No wonder so many people wanted to get it.
