Chen's mother noticed that Hu Yang was still carrying an old box in his hand, and she wanted to ask just now.

"Mr. Song's family got it. Chen Haifeng saw his mother staring at Hu Shao's box, so he took the initiative to say.

Just as Hu Yang was about to speak, another person came into the ward, carrying a fruit basket in his hand. It was Andy who came in. When he learned about Brother Hu's live broadcast today, he immediately rushed over.

"This is my assistant at work, Mama Chen, you can just call him Andy. ”

Andy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! Just call me Andy, Mom Chen is good! Uncle Chen is good!"

He also watched part of the live broadcast just now, so he knows what to call it.

After putting down the fruit basket, he immediately took over the live broadcast equipment in Brother Hu's other hand and started his daily work.

"Well, they're all good boys, why are they so polite, and they buy fruit baskets, which are expensive. Chen's mother complained.

Andy's thoughts, Chen's mother won't talk about him. ”

After speaking, Hu Yang opened the box and took out the previous box from inside. I saw that there were a few things in the box, and there were exquisite patterns on the surface, and they exuded a faint fragrance.

"Brother Hu, what is this?" Andy asked.

This time, even Chen Haifeng and others were very curious. According to Hu Yang's character, he is not like a person who asks for things from others casually, and he was actually polite at all just now.

"This is ancient ink, ink ingots left over from ancient times. Here, there are a total of ten pieces, and they are a set, which is more precious. Hu Yang introduced.

He told everyone that many literati in the past dynasties were good at collecting ink, and Su Shi of the Song Dynasty and Dong Qichang, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, both loved to collect ink ingots. The style of Tibetan ink appreciation in ancient times was more prosperous in the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty, and groups and sets of ink began to appear.

"'The ink of the Tang and Song dynasties is peerless, and the ink of the Ming Dynasty is rare. This is an old saying that is widely circulated in ancient ink collecting circles. That is to say, the ink ingots left over from the Tang and Song dynasties are almost impossible to find, and if one or two pieces appear, I am afraid that they will be peerless. And the ancient ink of the Ming Dynasty is also very rare.

At present, almost all of the ancient ink on the market is left over from the Republic of China or the Qing Dynasty.

This box is the imperial ink of the Qing Dynasty, which was paid to the emperor in ancient times, and I don't know how it fell into that person's house, and I picked it up cheaply. ”

Ancient ink is divided into seven categories according to its function: imperial ink, tribute ink, homemade ink, treasure ink, ordinary writing ink, gift ink, and medicinal ink.

The difference between good ink and bad ink will appear with the passage of time. Now when we look at ancient paintings, even after hundreds of years, even if the paper has cracked, the ink still does not fade. Modern ink, on the other hand, is only a few decades old, but it often affects its quality due to poor ink.

This is one of the reasons why Gumo is favored.

The reason why it is treasured by collectors is that ancient ink also has artistic value. The grinding made in ancient times was very particular. For example, the box that Populus euphratica just got, each piece has been carefully carved, just like treating a piece of jade, and it is very exquisitely made.

As soon as you look at it, you can appreciate its artistic expression.

"Smell it! This is the musk fragrance, the ancients made ink, and many times spices were added.

The new ink often has a strange smell, and the use of the pen is often sticky, which is because the gum is too heavy, the ancient ink due to the age, the gum naturally recedes, so the writing is smooth, and the ink color is mellow. "Populus euphratica took out a piece and showed it to everyone.

The production of ancient ink mostly uses pine smoke, oil smoke, lacquer smoke, and later added pearls, jade shavings, rhino horn, bezoar, musk and other precious and rare medicinal materials, which are processed by more than a dozen processes of thousands of pounds and pestles.

When everyone heard that it was valuable, they looked at it cautiously and did not dare to be careless.

"It looks like there's a crack. Andy couldn't help but say.

Actually, this is a bit of a reminder of Brother Hu's meaning, will it feel bad?

Hu Yang explained to everyone: "This is a normal phenomenon, the patent leather on the surface of the ancient ink, the farther the age, the thicker the patent leather is, and the snakeskin fractures, which are very similar to the patent leather fractures on the guqin, just like what you see."

This is a bit similar to some ancient porcelain pieces, which are not cracked, hidden between the patent leather, and at the same time flash with blue brilliance. ”

In addition, good ornamental ink is a collection of poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing, sculpture, plastic arts and ink-making technology, and the subject matter involves landscapes, fish, insects and birds, customs, astronomy and geography.

Although the ancient ink has a high collection value, most of the people who circulate are ordinary products, and it is rare to "find" the priceless ancient ink in the antique market.

"Nowadays, it is common to see ancient ink worth less than 1,000 yuan, and the market transaction is also very active, and the collection group is relatively large. In the auction market, ancient ink treasures are very rare, once there are ancient ink boutiques appear, they will be sought after by bidders, and the transaction price is also very amazing. ”

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he looked at the ancient ink in his box, thought about it, and said: "For example, my box is a set of ink that collects the ten views of the West Lake made by Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. This kind of ancient ink has appeared in the auction market, and it has been sold for more than 4 million! I remember that. ”

Chen Haifeng and Chen's mother are about to burst out of their eyes, more than 4 million? Just this box? Too exaggerated, right?

Now, the audience in the live broadcast room is calm. Tens of millions, they've all seen them, millions, there's nothing to shock about.

In this way, that Mr. Song really lost to his grandmother's house.

took more than two million in a hurry, and thought he had earned something. But in fact, it's not as good as a box of ancient ink he sent.

Also, what about the other things in the box?

"It just so happens that I've been practicing calligraphy recently, and I haven't started writing for a long time. This ancient ink came at the right time, keep it for your own use. Hu Yang said.

Everyone was hit, millions of ancient ink, you can't bear to use it to write? Everyone is distressed to death.

Moreover, although Brother Hu has a strong ability to identify treasures, who knows how calligraphy is? Maybe it's very bad?

"Okay! I lost, you have money, you are willful. ”

"For Brother Hu, no matter how expensive things are, aren't they all used for them?

"I don't know how Brother Hu's calligraphy is, don't spoil such a good thing. ”

……

Everyone still doubts Hu Yang's calligraphy, after all, they have never seen him wave.

Then, Hu Yang took out a brush from the box, which everyone had glimpsed before.

This is a bamboo structure of the brush, the bamboo body of the pen is carved with a very delicate pattern of flowers and birds, at a glance you know that it is a work of art, and Mr. Song has eyes and does not know the treasure, as a garbage treatment.

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, these are the four treasures of the study, everyone knows it very well. The pen ranks first among the four treasures of the study, and its role can be imagined.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the pen was not just writing, but had begun to evolve into a work of art. Tang Bingjun mentioned in his work "Pen Talk": "The Han pen is carved with gold, decorated with Hebi, decorated with Sui beads, and written with jade. If it is not a literary rhino, it must be ivory, which is extremely gorgeous. ’

It shows that the brush at this time is not only a painting and calligraphy tool, but also a collection for people to appreciate and play.

Ancient craftsmen can use the circumference of the pen barrel less than an inch to depict and engrave ingenious landscape figures, depicting the momentum of mountains, rocks and seawaters, which is enough to express unique decorative interest and has excellent collection value.

Just like the one in my hand, let's look at the material first, this is bamboo, but it is not ordinary bamboo, it is a relatively rare bamboo species.

Carving is more interesting, a small pen holder, condensed a painting, very exquisite carving master's skills. ”

Hu Yang told everyone that the brush in his hand belonged to the bamboo carved flower and bird pattern brush left over from the Ming Dynasty.

Because the pen is the first of the four treasures of the study, it has been valued by the literati and ink writers of all dynasties, and the pen-making industry has developed to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it has reached the peak of history.

The brushes used by the ruling class are exquisitely made. Even the brushes used by the people also pay great attention to decoration and beauty, and in the decoration of the pen barrel, they do everything they can to decorate it, reaching an unprecedented abundance.

With the vigorous development of bamboo carving art in the Ming and Qing dynasties, bamboo carving brushes have also become an important field of bamboo carving art. The carving of landscapes, flowers, and female figures on the outer wall of the circumference of the pen barrel can fully reflect the talent of the bamboo carving artist.

"Bamboo carving pens, in ancient times, are also quite precious and rare. The material may be average, but the carving is not simple. In addition, bamboo products are not easy to preserve, and it is remarkable to preserve them for more than 100 years.

Therefore, the bamboo carving pen left to this day is almost rare. ”

After speaking, Hu Yang showed the tip of the pen and the small piece that touched the bristles of the pen to everyone: "Look here, this circle, inlaid with jade." It is considered that the bamboo is stained with ink for a long time and is easy to get damp, and the bamboo is easy to rot, so a circle of jade was specially added.

Therefore, this is very exquisite, and it is definitely something that only big people and wealthy people can afford.

This kind of brush is very rare, so I plan to keep it for myself. ”

A pen of 500,000 yuan started, and Chen's mother and them were stunned. Today, Populus euphratica has given them a lot of shock.

Chen's mother has been taking care of Populus euphratica before, and she knows him very well. However, now I find that I don't know the child Populus euphratica, and there are many skills, but they don't know.

Chen Haifeng finally understood why Brother Hu would hand over Xiao Xin's matter to him to solve. Hu Shao's current ability is enough to deal with this kind of thing.

After speaking, Hu Yang took out a few more things from the box, and many people found that they all knew each other, an inkstone, two paperweights, and a pen holder.

"The inkstone is average, tens of thousands of dollars. "This kind of thing, poplar doesn't bother to introduce.

Then he said the paperweight: "This is a pair of copper paperweights, you have seen them before, and I won't say more." Talking about the pen holder, it is the third boutique in addition to the pen and ancient ink.

The pen holder is made of rosewood, what is rosewood, I don't need to say, right? The most important thing is the carving on it, the scene of the eight immortals crossing the sea, the picture is magnificent, even if the carving master shoots, it can't be made in a month or two. ”

Conservative estimates put the value of this pen holder at five million.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but secretly laugh at that Mr. Song, this time, it's really a dog, right? Fortunately, the other party doesn't know, otherwise how much trouble would it be?
