After admiring the national treasure-level inkstone, everyone turned their attention to another thing in the golden silk nanmu box, which was also wrapped in red silk cuboid.

Before Ye Tian could reach out and take it out of the box, Linlin couldn't wait to ask:

"Brother, what is this? Could it be another national treasure-level antique artwork? If so, it would be great!"

"Don't worry, you will know the answer immediately, whether it is a national treasure level antique artwork, everyone will know it after seeing it!"

Ye Tian chuckled and said, he didn't reveal the answer immediately, but sold it and continued to keep the suspense, so it was interesting.

Then, under the watchful eyes of his family, he took out the item from the golden silk nan wooden box, gently placed it on the coffee table, and began to disassemble the wrapped red silk.

In a matter of moments, the red silk was untied by him, and the contents of the envelope were revealed.

These are four ingots of black and shiny, purple ink, cuboidal, about 20 centimeters long, stacked together, lying quietly on the red silk, complementing each other!

There is no packaging for ink ingots, and the body is presented directly in front of everyone's eyes.

You can clearly see that there are patterns painted on the ink ingots, and the two pieces on it are painted with plum blossoms and orchids, which are fresh and elegant, and fluttering out of the dust!

As Ye Tian moved the upper two ink ingots away and placed them flat on the left, the pattern of the lower two ink ingots also appeared, drawing bamboo and chrysanthemums.

This is a set of 'plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum' four gentlemen bush ink, is a very rare ornamental ink.

Except for the grandfather, the rest of the family members present did not know how to appreciate the famous ink, but this ink still firmly attracted everyone's attention and made everyone's eyes brighten.

Just from the patterns on the ink ingots and the faint glow of the treasure, everyone can judge that these four ink ingots are definitely of extraordinary origin and are worth a lot of money.

Besides, with his own boy's generosity, how can the things he take to honor his grandfather be bad?

Compared with other family members, Grandpa obviously understands the quality of ink ingots and the value of famous ink.

The moment he saw the four ink ingots, his eyes suddenly lit up, like searchlights, and he almost jumped up from the sofa with excitement!

Placing the four ink ingots on the coffee table in the order of 'plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum', Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Grandpa, you already have Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang's national treasure-level inkstone, naturally you can't do without the top famous ink, these two are more perfect together, isn't it?

Just like the era of the top inkstone, this ink also came from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, which has a long history of nearly 500 years and is worth a lot of money!"

"Wow——! it's an antique that's about 500 years old!"

The sister-in-law exclaimed, and the rest of the family members were also shocked.

The grandfather sitting on the sofa was even more excited.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Although this ink is not as good as the famous Ting Silica ink, it is also the top stationery supplies, which are rare, and they are also rare in the antique art market.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the wind of ink appreciation prevailed, and the top famous ink emerged in endlessly, and I identified that this ink is the best Huizhou pine smoke ink, in terms of quality, it should be tribute ink!

Unfortunately, after a long period of baptism, the outer packaging of this cluster of ink was completely lost, and only the ink ingots themselves remained, but fortunately, the quality of these ink ingots was as strong as jade, and they were not damaged.

In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the packaging of this top famous ink must be extremely exquisite, and the box containing ink is a black lacquer painted gold box, or a golden silk nan wood box and an ebony box.

But that's right, if these extravagant packaging are still there, this ink can't fall into my hands, and it has long been taken away by other people who have a heart, so naturally it won't appear here.

The reason why I use the golden silk nanmu box is this, I hope to restore the style of this group of Jiajing tribute ink as much as possible, and only the golden silk nanmu box is matched with this cluster of ink!

Grandpa, if you write and practice calligraphy in the future, you can use the Duan inkstone that originally belonged to Xu Wei and grind the tribute ink that originally belonged to Emperor Jiajing, splash ink to your heart's content, and enjoy the beauty of calligraphy!"

"This is too extravagant! I am afraid that those top calligraphers in China do not have this treatment, how can I be willing to do it! This kind of top scholar's treasure should be supplied high, and I will be satisfied with a glance every day!"

Grandpa picked up an ink ingot from the coffee table, and while caressing and admiring it, he sighed with emotion, his eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't put it down.

"You can use it openly! It's a top-notch ink, but it's made for human use, and it's hard enough to last you a year or two.

When you are almost done, I will give you a better famous ink, and the next time it is placed in front of you for you to splash ink, maybe it will be the famous Ting Silic ink!

There are no royal nobles in modern society, but you are my grandfather, I dare not say anything else, in terms of stationery supplies, we must not be inferior to the ancient emperors, or even far surpass them"

Ye Tian said jokingly, but his eyes were full of confidence.

As long as there are still in the world and there are still people in circulation, there is a way to get them and let grandpa use them to his heart's content!

"Oh ——! Xiaotian, I'm really willing to put down my book! Your grandfather didn't hurt you kid in vain, I love to hear this, good things are used for use! That's where the value lies."

The second uncle exclaimed in surprise and gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.

The rest of the family members also exclaimed, looking at Ye Tian's eyes full of appreciation.

Grandpa shook his head with a smile, obviously not taking Ye Tian's words seriously, thinking that he was just joking.

Besides, even if this is true, is he willing to use these top-grade inks that have been inherited for more than 500 years? This thing is no better than Duan Yan, and if you use a little less!

Hearing the second uncle's words, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:

Second uncle, when I go back, I will find a set of top-notch lake pens for my grandfather, a few stacks of the best rice paper, and a few paintings and calligraphy by Xu Wei, and then I will live!"

Before the words fell, the living room was boiling again, and everyone was frightened by Ye Tian's words.

In addition to exclaiming, everyone couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

Can this really be done? Don't brag about it? The Four Treasures of the Study Room is good to say, each of Xu Wei's paintings and calligraphy is sky-high, but it is impossible to find it, which is so easy to exchange!

Ye Tianquan saw the hint of doubt in his family's eyes, but he didn't explain it out loud, he just smiled softly and didn't care!

Don't wait, you'll find out later whether this is a brag or not!

Dad and they all gathered around the coffee table, and together with Grandpa, they admired the cluster of famous inks on the coffee table, and everyone was full of joy.

Linlin and a few of their little guys were blasted out again, but these little guys were not willing to be lonely, and Chenxi asked curiously:

"Brother, tell me about the knowledge related to these ink ingots, why are there still people who take such black things as treasures?

Ye Tian looked at this curious little guy like a baby, and then began to popularize this knowledge to them, lest these little guys go out and be embarrassed, this is his younger brother and sister!

"Ink is one of the four treasures of traditional Chinese study, and the status of pen, paper, inkstone is equally important, regardless of each other, ink can be divided into three categories according to the raw materials: oil smoke ink, pine smoke ink and carbon black ink.

A good ink should be as hard as jade, black in color, down paper like lacquer, long-lasting and fragrant, if distinguished by luster, it is purple light, ink light second, blue light again.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Chinese literati have had the elegance of appreciating ink, and the Song Dynasty began to become popular, and famous ink has gradually become the furnishings and appreciation products on the books of literati doctors, and the production is becoming more and more sophisticated!

This has prompted the formation of a kind of art category, and the appreciation of ink has become a kind of atmosphere, and Su Dongpo has the verse of "ink does not dare to use it, enter Penglai Palace", which is a portrayal of this atmosphere.

In the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of ink play and ink appreciation wind became more prevalent, and began to appear in sets of clusters of ink, and the decorative patterns were even more ever-changing, colorful!

The ink I gave to my grandfather came from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was placed in the Jiajing Dynasty, this ink was also the top quality, which can be met but not sought, and it is rare to see!

In the subsequent Qing Dynasty, the style of ink appreciation was also very popular, such as the Palace Museum's collection of 'Qianlong Imperial Wing West Lake Ten Scenes and Ten Colors of Ink', which is a group of fairly good ink appreciation.

The previously mentioned Tingqi ink is the most famous ink in history, and it is also the most expensive ink so far, from Shezhou in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Huizhou, made by Xi Chao and Xi Tingqi father and son, famous all over the world!

After talking about the relevant knowledge of ink, let's talk about the price of this cluster of ink in front of you, the famous ink of the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty is difficult to encounter in the antique art market, and once it appears, it is basically sky-high.

If this ink in front of you appears in the antique market, the price should be more than 1 million yuan, there should be no problem, if it is sent to auction, it will definitely be higher, you know,......"

Ye Tian was about to continue, but was interrupted by the exclamations of the three little guys.

"This black and black thing is actually worth 1 million yuan, are all crazy people who play with antique collections?

"Practice calligraphy with famous ink worth 1 million yuan, grandpa, you are too extravagant, and the ancient emperor is treated like this, right?"

"Hahaha, that's right, that's how the emperor is treated!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, very proud.
