Chapter 432: Copper Medicine Pestle, Ancient Stone Chess
This teacher Guan didn't know the truth, but he saw that Dr. Wen and Li Quanlang were talented and beautiful, and Dr. Wen usually never got close to other young men. This time, he tried his best to help Li Quan find a book.
Teacher Guan naturally thinks that the two are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Li Quan looked up and saw that there was a large wooden frame similar to the Bogu frame in the living room.
Usually, the average person's Bogu shelf either puts a few bottles of good wine, or puts some art, antiques and other things.
However, on this Bogu shelf are Shen Kuo's various books, character statues, used antique objects, and so on. For example, Shen Kuo used the court board, the copper helmet he worn, the ink inkstone he used, and so on.
They were all collected by Mr. Guan.
It's simply a small exhibition of related items in Shen Kuo.
And that's not all.
I saw that on the wall next to the Bogu shelf, there were as many as a dozen portraits of Shen Kuo.
Others put family photos and family photos on the wall to form an album wall. Teacher Guan made an exhibition of Shen Kuo's portraits on the wall.
"Teacher Guan really likes this Shen Jinshi!"
Li Quan sighed.
"Haha, I personally admire Shen Kuo's style and character. The young man can know that Shen Kuo has passed the Jinshi in high school, so he must also be a fellow believer!"
Teacher Guan laughed happily.
Sometimes, a common hobby can instantly bring two people closer.
"Mr. Guan admires Shen Kuo's character and style, but what I admire is his achievements in medicine. When Shen Kuo participated in the imperial examination that year, he was a Jinshi and a first, which was a great achievement. The Song Dynasty produced many talents, not to mention Jinshi and the first, that is, to be able to obtain a Jinshi background, or even worse with the same Jinshi background is already very remarkable.
Shen Kuo has indeed lived up to the name of a scholar and has made extremely high achievements in various fields.
In terms of medicine, his collection and sorting of prescriptions and the dialectic of law and pharmacology are particularly admirable. ”
Li Quan talked eloquently, and talked about Shen Kuo's goodness, what is good.
Communication is a deep science.
If Li Quan simply said that he liked Shen Kuo, but couldn't say one, two, three, it would make Mr. Guan feel that he was deliberately catering to his preferences.
Now, Li Quan has said so much about Shen Kuo's personal information, which immediately makes Mr. Guan highly recognize him.
"Young man, those two books are Shen Kuo's medical books. There is also this medicine pestle, I heard that Shen Kuo used it to pound medicine back then. You see, the medicine pestle seat is engraved with the contents of the medical book left by Shen Kuo. “
After Mr. Guan had a preliminary recognition of Li Quan, his attitude became more enthusiastic.
began to introduce Li Quan to these collections, which were the medical books and medicinal tools that Li Quan needed.
Li Quan first picked up two medical books and looked at them, none of them were real antiques.
They are all reprints of later generations.
One is Shen Kuo's "Good Prescription", this Li Quan has read the whole book. No longer needed.
The other is Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings", which is too famous.
Li Quan also does not need to.
Even the two volumes that Director Li helped him find were more genuine than the old "Dream Creek Writings" collected by Mr. Guan.
There are many people who like to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.
But because he didn't know how to distinguish the real from the fake, he was deceived by some profiteers through old, copying, imitation and other means. Then I flickered, and happily took out a large sum of money and bought them.
There was once a wealthy merchant who liked to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, which became a typical tragedy.
He spent more than 100 million on the hobby of collecting, and also built a strengthened basement to store these treasures. One day, his company was in a financial crisis, and he needed money.
So I took the antiques I had collected and sold.
I thought to myself, how should it appreciate to two or three hundred million.
And then the tragedy came, all the collections, not a single one of them was really gone. It's all fake.
He bought it through a very regular antique company.
I bought hundreds of millions of collections, but I really didn't have any of them, so I must go to trouble.
As a result, when I ran over to trouble the collection company, I found that the building had already been empty.
It is conceivable that the rich man's heart must have collapsed at that time.
This teacher Guan, these antique calligraphy and paintings in his collection, Li Quan dare not say that every one of them is fake. At least neither of these medical books is genuine.
He put down the medical book and took off the medicine pestle with some expectation.
The pestle is made of copper.
It's a good place to start.
On the surface, you can even see the patina left by the age.
Of course, it may also be the patina made by antique dealers through the means of old.
As far as Li Quan knows, most of the medicine pestles are made of stone, and some are made of wood.
Copper ones may exist, but they are very rare.
"Young man, I spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy this medicine pestle from a collector. If you look at the words engraved on it, they are all regular scripts unique to the Song Dynasty. ”
Teacher Guan introduced with a proud smile.
"Okay, I'll take a look. ”
Li Quan nodded and carefully examined the content above.
"The three soups use hemp apricot grass, and the effect of relieving asthma is not low. Canopy, apricot perilla, poria cocos, aged grass, mulberry white bark, wind and cold, lung phlegm is not cool, it is advisable to decoction in a hurry, do not hesitate......"
Just after reading the content of the two lines, Li Quan couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
This...... Isn't it the recipe in the soup song?
The soup song was written by a man named Wang Ang in the Qing Dynasty. But Shen Kuo was a person from the Song Dynasty.
That's where it gets interesting.
It's just a bull's head and a horse's mouth.
Li Quan thought to himself, this medicine pestle looks quite old, especially the part of the gripper, which has been polished to the point that it has already glowed. Even if it's not Shen Kuo's thing, it's an antique, right?
After all, Mr. Guan spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy it.
However, the medicine pestle of the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it is difficult to be worth this price.
Unless it was used by those famous doctors in the Qing Dynasty. Can sell a gimmick.
Teacher Guan observed the words and expressions on the side, and found that Li Quan's expression was wrong, so he hurriedly introduced: "Young man, is the content on this medicine pestle wrong? You see that there is Shen Kuo's signature on the bottom of this medicine pestle." ”
When Li Quan heard this, he turned over and looked at it.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
At the bottom is written "Shen Cun Zhongyin", four small characters.
It's engraved.
The font is also in italics.
However, there is a difference in this italics.
Li Quan carefully looked at the font on the inscription, including the pharmaceutical knowledge engraved on the medicine pestle. This kind of italic is more like a modern italic body, which has neither the wind and bones of the willow body, nor the strength of the face body.
Basically, it is already certain that this pestle is a fake.
"Teacher Guan, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not!" Li Quan said a little euphemistically.
"You say, you say, I look at your expression, I must have seen that there is something wrong with this copper medicine pestle. If you speak your doubts, I can bear it. ”
Mr. Guan is particularly concerned about this collection because it is very expensive.
"Then I'll give my own shallow opinion, because I'm not an expert in antiques or anything, and I don't know much. If you say something wrong, don't laugh. ”
Li Quan saw that this Teacher Guan was bent on asking for the truth, so there was no need to hesitate.
"As far as I know, Shen Kuo has led troops to fight, and he has the rigid style of an iron-blooded man. So when he writes, he prefers to use facial bodies. But if you look at the payment on this, it's not a face. Taking a step back, maybe Shen Kuo didn't like Yan Ti at that time, then at least it should be written about Liu Ti. Because of the Song Dynasty, two fonts of willow and Yan were particularly admired.
At that time, almost all of them wrote only these two fonts.
It's a pity that this inscription, including the above pharmaceutical content, is neither Yan or Liu. It looks a bit like a modern hard letter. ”
When Li Quan said this, Mr. Guan was a little panicked.
"I'll check the writing of willow and face. ”
Teacher Guan hurriedly took his mobile phone and trembled to search for willow and face on the Internet.
As a high-level intellectual, people in their fifties are no slower than young people when they use their smartphones to check things on the Internet.
After finding out the face, Mr. Guan hurriedly compared it with the words on the medicine pestle.
"Gee, that's a big difference. ”
He continued to look up another font, Liuti.
After checking it out and comparing it again, I was disappointed again.
At the same time, his face turned a little pale.
"In the Song Dynasty, there was actually another font, that is, the fusion of Yan and Liu, which was called Yan Muscle and Willow Bone. But the font on this is also not that kind of font. Then ......" When Li Quan said this, he found that Mr. Guan's body shook a little, and his hands were shaking.
He hurriedly stopped.
"Teacher Guan, are you alright?"
Teacher Guan just said that he could bear it, but if he was anyone, he spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy a fake antique, and it would definitely be difficult for him to bear this kind of blow in his heart.
"I'm fine, you continue. Young man, I can see that you really understand, I, I am a fool, I love Shen Kuo very much, but I rarely study Shen Kuo's fonts and medical hobbies. I must have been deceived by that friend. ”
Teacher Guan's voice was trembling, and his lips turned white and his face turned blue with anger.
"Don't talk about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. "When Li Quan saw Mr. Guan like this, how dare he say it again.
"No, I have to say it. Only by letting me know where this antique is can I have the confidence to settle accounts with that friend. Teacher Guan took Li Quan's hand and insisted that he say all his doubts.
Teacher Guan's wife also found that something was wrong with her wife at this time, so she hurriedly walked over and helped her up.
"Lao Guan, if it's fake, it's fake, let's not be sad. Well, the money earned is used to spend. While comforting Teacher Guan, she stroked Teacher Guan's back and smoothed him down.
"I understand!" Teacher Guan nodded, his eyes looking at Li Quan again. "Say, young man, don't worry about me. I can hold on. ”
"In addition to the font does not match, it is obviously fake, and the pharmaceutical content above is also incorrect. If I'm not mistaken, it's the soup song engraved on it. However, the soup song was created by Wang Ang in the Qing Dynasty, and it is several dynasties different from the Song Dynasty. And this copper, which is also problematic in itself. Although the science and technology of the Song Dynasty had reached the point of being the world's leading at that time, it was far from being comparable with modern smelting technology.
The bronze ware of that era was mostly bronze.
And this medicine pestle, the part that is polished to shine, is as yellow as gold. IMHO, even the Qing Dynasty could not reach this level of smelting, only modern times have this technology.
Based on the above multiple suspicions, it is likely that this medicine pestle was created by those treacherous second-hand dealers through fraudulent means. ”
As soon as Li Quan's words were finished, Mr. Guan's body rose twice and fell headlong in front of him.
Fortunately, Li Quan, who was standing next to him, was in a hurry and helped him.
In addition, Teacher Guan's wife has been supporting her husband.
This did not make Mr. Guan fall to the ground.
Teacher Guan just said that he could hold on, but after finally learning the cruel truth, he couldn't hold on.
"Help Mr. Guan sit down first, and I will help him knead a few important acupuncture points to relieve it. After Li Quan helped the person to sit down, he pressed several acupuncture points on Teacher Guan's head.
After a while, Teacher Guan's face looked much better.
People are also back to normal.
"Xiao Wen, I didn't expect that your boyfriend not only knows how to recognize antiques, but also has superb medical skills, you really have a special vision and found such an excellent boyfriend!"
While Aunt Lin smiled and praised Dr. Wen, she also praised Li Quan.
"Ah...... Aunt Lin, you misunderstood, he is not my boyfriend. His name is Li Quan, and he is a male colleague in our hospital. Dr. Wen made a big red face.
"Hehe, I look down on people, I'm shy, embarrassed, I don't dare to admit it, Aunt Lin is a person from the past, and she understands it. Aunt Lin said with a smile.
"He's really not my boyfriend, he already has a girlfriend and he's good to his girlfriend. Other women, he can't look down on them. When Dr. Wen said this, he was somewhat lonely.
She is particularly beautiful and has many suitors.
But none of them are as good as Li Quan.
Miss Sophie, whom she had never met, she had only heard of names. I don't know what a good girl is to make heroes like Li Quan affectionate.
"It turns out that Dr. Li Quan already has a girlfriend, but my aunt said the wrong thing. A man is dedicated to a woman, only in this way will that woman willingly follow that man for the rest of her life. ”
After Aunt Lin finished speaking, she glanced at Teacher Guan with affectionate eyes.
It can be seen that her relationship with Teacher Guan should be very good.
"Xiao Li is indeed very good. I am also engaged in medical teaching and research, but compared with you as a young man, I am ashamed! If you hadn't helped me see that this medicine pestle was a fake today, I am afraid that I would have been kept in the dark even if I entered the coffin. ”
Teacher Guan stood up slowly, holding the copper medicine pestle with a complicated expression.
It is estimated that for a while, the psychological hurdle will not be able to pass.
"Xiao Li, the rest of the things, you can look at them and pick them at will. Alas...... I don't know how many of them are fake, I'm so confused!"
Guan Lao is a smart man, and after discovering that the medicine pestle he regarded as a treasure was fake, he knew that there must be more than one fake antique.
Li Quan couldn't bear to hit this poor teacher Guan anymore.
Today's trip seems to have been in vain.
He already had the intention of saying goodbye.
It's just that Mr. Guan told him to see it, and it was not good to leave directly.
So he looked symbolically at the 'antiques' on the Bogu shelf.
"Hey, is this an ancient game of Go?" Li Quan saw an interesting box at the bottom of the Bogu shelf.
I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, but it is divided into two large compartments.
It is filled with chess pieces made of bluestone and white stone.
Each one is the same size.
The modern game of Go is white and black, and the manufacturing process in ancient times was relatively backward. Some wizards came up with the idea of polishing it with stone and making it into a chess piece.
But it's a bit big.
Time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Only the kind of person who is full of food and idle can think of making such a natural game of Go.
"I bought it from a shop when I was wandering around an antique market. It wasn't worth a few bucks, but I thought it was interesting, so I bought it. The store said that this stone chess was Shen Kuo's, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Teacher Guan is already interested at the moment.
The copper medicine pestle bought at such an expensive cost is fake, and this stone Go is quite cheap, can it be real?
Li Quan picked up one and looked at it, but felt that this chess should not be a modern thing.
As for whether it was Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty, it's really hard to say.
Looking closely, he found that the back of each chess piece was engraved with a word.
