"It's going to have to see. You do have to be careful, though. Tong Rentang explained two sentences, "This brush and this inkstone, my grandfather cherished very much, a total of only used twice, once when my father got married, he personally wrote a wedding card, and the other time, when I was a child, when I first entered school, I wrote a small banner of persuasion poems. ”

"I understand!" Yu Yao responded, "In addition to the dragon robe, this brush and this inkstone, you don't want to flow out of the country, those jade, in fact, it doesn't matter." ”

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that my son-in-law was a foreigner, I might have taken him out. However, since the dragon robe is a costume, it doesn't matter. ”

Tong Rentang sighed, and turned to a straight face: "I don't make a random move, I think Lao Pu is good, and his son will not be bad!

"You can rest assured of this. Yu Yao responded.

Tong Rentang shook his head lightly, "Let you see the smile, in fact, if you really want to keep it, you should donate it to the cultural and museum unit." However, it's also a shame that Xiaoyu is here, otherwise take a costume and make a big joke!"

"The cultural and museum unit is reliable, but the private collection of the people is also left in Huaxia, and you can still have an income, the best of both worlds, why not?"

"Hehe, Xiaoyu, you not only have good eyesight, but you can also speak. Tong Rentang looked at Yu Yao's eyes, "Xiao Yu, although it is the first time we have met, I do think that you are a trustworthy person. I'm a layman in antiques, can you give me a solid idea of this after you've finished reading it?"

"The old man has said so, how can I make a fool?"

Tong Rentang said solemnly, "Don't worry, even if it's really valuable, as long as you want to accept it, I will try to give it to you as cheaply as possible." ”

"I'll look first. Yu Yao smiled and nodded, and took off the bamboo protective cover on the pen.

Here's a look:

Zihao!

The color of the pen and the purple bamboo barrel are similar, but they are more purple and not black.

The pen is relatively well preserved, and it can be seen that it is rarely used, and it must be carefully cleaned after use.

The craftsmanship is exquisite, the materials are high-end, and the vintage is long.

A bright light crossed Yu Yao's mind, this can't be the Zhuge Zihao pen in the Southern Tang Dynasty, right?

Zhuge pen, unparalleled in the world, rat whiskers purple, gold ten taels.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the most famous brush was not the lake pen, but the Xuan pen. After the Yuan Dynasty, although the Xuan pen was still being produced, the status of the boss was gradually replaced by the lake pen. Xuan pen and rice paper are named after the place of origin.

During the Five Dynasties period between the Tang and Song dynasties, in terms of pen and ink, the Southern Tang Dynasty produced two masters.

One is Xi Tingju, who made ink, and was later given the surname Li by the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he was called Li Mo;

Zhuge high pen, to the pen technique is the most. Rat whisker pen, purple pen, at that time, one could be sold for ten taels of gold!

Today's brushwork is generally wolf or sheep's, and the material is relatively ordinary. Rat whiskers and purple hair, the materials alone are not simple.

Rat whiskers, squirrel whiskers, I don't know how many squirrels have to lose their beards to make a pen.

The rat whisker pen was there in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that Wang Xizhi wrote the orchid pavilion preface, and he used the rat whisker pen. It is also difficult to collect squirrel whiskers, but it is not possible to make pens directly, the technique is very important, and the rat whisker pen-making technique has long been lost.

Purple hair, purple hare spine hair, this kind of hair, is rare but not sought. Now, not to mention the technique, I am afraid that I will not be able to find this wild rabbit.

Bai Juyi has a poem called "Zihao Pen", he writes poems more straightforwardly, and he understands at a glance: "There is an old rabbit on the stone in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is born Zihao by eating bamboo and drinking from the spring." The people of Xuancheng took it as a pen, and they picked every millimeter out of tens of thousands of hairs. ”

The materials and processes, Yu Yao can basically determine, but whether it is the Southern Tang Dynasty or not, although Yu Yao thought of it, but in the final analysis, it still cannot be determined.

The brush is different from other antiques, and there are too few points that can be judged according to the date.

At the same time, if it is a product of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period, more than a thousand years ago, it is very unlikely that it will be so complete.

But it may be small, it doesn't mean it's impossible, if it's just for appreciation, it's rarely used for writing, and it's still okay to maintain it carefully. Even, because of the age, the entire part of the pen may have fallen off from the barrel, but it can be re-fixed, which is not visible from the appearance.

Judging from the pulp of the pen barrel, it has to be hundreds of years, and it must be played with often. Because if it is only used for writing, the grip point of the finger will be heavier, but this Zizhu pen barrel is very even.

At the same time, if it weren't for regular play, the bamboo would have cracked long ago after so many years.

"How is it?" Seeing that Yu Yao had seen it almost, Tong Rentang and Pu Jie were almost in unison.

Tong Rentang and Pu Jie asked the same, but the meaning is different, Tong Rentang wants to ask how things are, and Pu Jie asks if he can accept them.

It is said that when it comes to receiving the goods, you can't tell the truth to the owner of the goods, even if Tong Rentang said that he hoped that he could get to the bottom of it, he didn't agree positively, only said "look first".

But at this time, Yu Yao thought for a while, "Old man, this stroke of ink really can't flow out of the country." ”

Pu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Yu Yao.

Yu Yao took a deep breath, "It's the first time we meet, but I'm still rushing at you! This inkstone is a Ming Dynasty inkstone, and it is extraordinary; this Zizhu Zihao pen is a Xuanbi, at least there are hundreds of years old, and it may even be even bigger······

Yu Yao then simply introduced.

After listening, Pu Jie was stunned, and then frowned, you are really honest!

But Tong Rentang was very strange, just smiled slightly, and was not too surprised, "What is the market value?"

Yu Yaoshi picked up the bottom, and he didn't miss this tail, and then analyzed it.

These two things have never appeared in the market, and the valuation can only be used as a reference.

There was once a Yan engraved by Wu Changshuo, which should have been auctioned at a high price of one million. Wu Changshuo was a master of calligraphy and painting in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and he was good at seal carving, and he carved his own inscriptions, which was indeed very unique. And this inkstone, although Tang Xianzu wrote the inscription and found a craftsman to engrave it, but after all, it is from the Ming Dynasty and has a more ancient history, and Tang Xianzu's reputation is wider than that of Wu Changshuo. So this inkstone will not be less than a million.

And this Zihao Xuan Pen, although it cannot be completely broken, but this Zihao alone is very precious, and the years of hundreds of years are no problem. Referring to the bamboo carving royal pen of the Ming Dynasty, it is not Zihao, and it has also been auctioned for a high price of more than one million. There is no carving on this pen tube, but Zihao has a great advantage, and it should not be less than one million.

In other words, this inkstone, conservatively valued, the total price should be more than two million.

Pu Jie said secretly, it's over! Not only is there no money to be made, but two million can't be made up now!

Tong Rentang suddenly burst out laughing.
