Chapter 193: Purple Cloud Inkstone

"Hehe, I see. ”

Zhou You knew that Cheng Feihu's personality was not suitable for mixing in the antique circle that required a lot of historical knowledge, so he could naturally understand his pain, so he had a little more sense of responsibility for this very indifferent trip to the Yongjian Museum.

"Mr. Cheng, you're finally here!"

As soon as Cheng Feihu and the others got out of the car, they were greeted by an enthusiastic old man.

Zhou You followed the sound and saw an old man wearing myopic glasses, but between his hair, he had seen the vicissitudes of life. Zhou You estimated that this old man was at least in his sixtieth year, and he actually called Zhou You "you", which really made Zhou You a little unacceptable.

Cheng Feihu was not high-profile, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute back: "Cheng Lao, aren't you scolding me? The kid is a junior, how can he be called such a title by your old man." The kid not only made a special trip this time, but also brought a proud disciple of Xu Lao to come over to observe and study. ”

"Elder Xu's proud disciple!"

When Cheng Lao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Xu Lao is not only the archaeological community of Taishan Beidou, his person is also a top collector, it is said that his collection of pieces are all high-quality, any one is a national treasure level existence, not at all his own small museum can be compared.

Although Cheng Lao had never heard of Xu Lao's acceptance of any proud disciples, he never doubted Cheng Feihu's words, even if Zhou You's age was very young, which made him look down on him a little, but for the sake of Xu Lao and Cheng Feihu's face, Cheng Lao didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and communicated with Zhou You very enthusiastically.

Zhou You said very humbly: "I heard that Cheng Lao held a porcelain exchange meeting, so Zhou You came uninvited, and I ask Cheng Lao to forgive me." ”

"What are these words?"

Cheng Lao already has a certain good impression of Zhou You, who has a strong temperament of scholars, and now he thinks that Zhou You is very good, and he is a young man with a considerable temperament, no wonder he can be valued by Xu Lao as a disciple.

In antique circles, disciples and students are completely different things.

A disciple is the heir who inherits his mantle and carries forward his talents, and is his continuation. Such a person is destined to not be very numerous, and his status is definitely more transcendent than that of students who may not be able to get all the inheritance, and it is more in line with the concept of the older generation of characters in the antique circle.

And as a proud disciple of Xu Lao, its significance is even more extraordinary.

The more enthusiastic and sincere Cheng Feihu and Zhou You were invited in.

Although Cheng Lao wanted to know what treasure Cheng Feihu had brought over to communicate, he was more curious about what kind of surprises Zhou You could give him. He thought that since Zhou You could be valued by Xu Lao, maybe he was ordered to come over this time to take a look, and he might have some rare national treasures on his body.

If there is, it will definitely add a lot of influence to this porcelain exchange meeting, and indirectly enhance the reputation of Yongjian Museum.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Cheng Lao always looked at them secretly, and even shifted his attention to Li Dazhi behind him, because Li Dazhi happened to be carrying a black suitcase with a small specification in his hand.

It's a pity that the old man will be wrong.

Zhou You didn't bring any antiques at all, and the black suitcase contained the glass apple green, as well as the millions of cash that Zhou You deliberately left behind. However, Cheng Feihu came prepared, and his bodyguard also carried a black suitcase, which contained the treasure that Cheng Feihu intended to exchange.

Cheng Feihu pretended to be very casual and asked: "Cheng Lao, I heard that there are many big collectors who participated in the exchange this time, and even the president of Tiannan Group has sent a few treasures, I wonder if there is anything wrong?"

When Cheng Lao heard this, he immediately replied proudly: "Yes, this time everyone gave Lao Yu a lot of face, especially President Lin, who actually sent a Song Qinghua, which really flattered Lao Yu." ”

"It can't be that Song Qinghua......"

Cheng Feihu immediately thought of the Song mackerel ear bottle that Lin Yizhen had used to tempt Zhou You before.

Cheng Lao was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Mr. Cheng has also seen that rare Song Qinghua fish ear vase in the world?" Mr. Lin told me that it was the first time she took out this treasure to display it publicly. ”

It's really that Song mackerel ear bottle.

Cheng Feihu and Zhou You nodded with a wry smile at the same time.

The Song blue-and-white fish ear bottle was originally the appetite of the extreme Hecheng Flying Tiger, but it was a pity that its owner was the female Zhuge Lin Yizhen. Cheng Feihu knew very well that if he asked Lin Yizhen for a purchase, he would definitely be stripped of a layer of skin, and he would have to laugh, so he didn't want to do business with Lin Yizhen if he killed Cheng Feihu.

Zhou You explained: "Yes, it was the first public display, but we had seen it in private exchanges. We have even seen Mr. Lin's enamel color yellow ground open, carmine landscape pattern bowl and other rare national treasures in the world. ”

Cheng Lao nodded, and secretly raised Zhou You's evaluation to a higher level.

Cheng Feihu didn't want to dwell on these senseless questions, so he went straight to the point: "It's done, let me tell you honestly, we are here for the purple cloud inkstone and Yongle blue and white in your museum." ”

"Ziyun Yan!"

Zhou You's study of the four treasures of the study is no less than porcelain, and when he heard the name of Ziyun Yan, he was immediately moved.

Duanzhou ink inkstone is famous all over the world, and the best product in Duanzhou inkstone is Ziyun inkstone.

Duan Yan is taken from the rotten rivers and mountains of the southeast end of Gaoyao City, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, because of its "light weight, rigid and soft quality, lonely and lonely touch", since the advent of the Tang Dynasty, it has been favored by literati and bachelors. In addition, the texture is beautiful, each with its own name, the processing skills are more and more complicated, and the status is getting higher and higher, so it has risen to the top of China's stone inkstone.

The Ziyun inkstone is made of water and rock quarried from the thousands of kilometers of cliffs of the Zhaojiang River. The water rock absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and it is extremely hard. The inner plasm of the rock is layered like the pages of a book. After some production, the inkstone shows purple blue, the inkstone pond white clouds, the inkstone is the peak of Beacon Mountain, and the elegance is like coming out. One side of the Ziyun inkstone is more expensive than gold, and the world's most expensive famous inkstone is the Ziyun inkstone.

Cheng Lao saw Zhou You's surprised expression, secretly proud, and while leading Zhou You to the most densely populated area, he introduced: "This famous inkstone is old and decayed in the ghost market, and it is the most proud leak in his life. If it weren't for the importance of this exchange meeting, if he didn't bring out more treasures from the suppression scene, Lao Yu would really not be qualified to invite so many collectors over. ”

After speaking, Zhou You and the others came to Ziyun Yan.

Zhou You carefully observed the Ziyun Yan that was set up in mid-air, allowing tourists to observe from different angles, and looked at the word "Ziyun" that was natural, and felt very embarrassed. When I looked at it, I found that the inscription on the back of the inkstone was unexpected, and the font was majestic and domineering, revealing a majestic and heroic atmosphere of contempt for the world from the inside out. Such an imposing inscription is definitely the first of its kind so far.

Cheng Lao saw that Zhou You seemed to have studied the inkstone, and said very directly: "Although there is a 'king' word in the final inscription of this inscription, it is a pity that there are too many painters and seal carvers surnamed Wang in ancient times, and there is no way to study it." If Brother Zhou can solve this problem for us, we are willing to thank us with a reward of millions. ”

Cheng Lao's words were completely polite, and he didn't have any thoughts at all.

I didn't want to travel around and laughed.

Zhou You glanced at Cheng Feihu, and then asked, "Then the million palm eye fee is not necessary." I just want to know, if I point out the identity of its author, and then exchange this Ziyun inkstone with you for an item of equal value, I wonder if Cheng Lao will agree?"

Cheng Feihu smiled when he heard this, knowing that Zhou You was planning for himself.

Cheng Lao really heard something wrong, but when he thought that he could get something of equal value and solve the mystery, he nodded.

"Please look here!"

Zhou You smiled and pointed to the painted patterns on the side of the inkstone and asked, "Cheng Lao, what do you think these painted patterns look like?"

"Plum blossoms!"

Cheng Lao obviously studied it as well, and immediately replied.

Zhou You smiled more and more brightly, and said proudly: "In ancient times, there was a painter who was famous for painting plums, especially attacking ink plums. His paintings of plum are concise and free-flowing, and they are unique. His "Ink Plum Picture Scroll" depicts horizontal folding branches and ink plums, with simple brushstrokes, beautiful branches, interspersed with momentum, and a fresh and pleasing composition. The shade of ink is appropriate, and the blooming of flowers, the gradual opening of the three gentlemen's figures, and the buds all appear moist and free, full of vitality. Its pen is strong, hook the flower to create a unique frustration method, although not colored, but can the plum blossom smiling branches, vividly depicted. It not only expresses the natural charm of plum blossoms, but also embodies the painter's high-standard and lonely thoughts and feelings. Coupled with the author's well-known seven-character inscription poem, the poetry and painting complement each other, making this painting an immortal masterpiece. ”

"Crown!"

Cheng Lao thought for a while, and finally blurted out a name.

Wang Mian, a poet, writer and calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty, also pioneered the use of flower milk stone as a printing material, the seal method is wonderful, and has its strong stroke in the history of seal carving.

Zhou You said heroically: "Wang Mian sympathizes with the suffering of the people, condemns the wealthy and powerful, regards fame and fortune as dung, and is for a generation of heroes." And in his calligraphy and painting seals, they all show such noble feelings. Therefore, Zhou You felt that this rare piece of the best Ziyun inkstone was from the handwriting of Wang Mian. ”

"The rules are natural, heroic and majestic, and there is indeed the taste of a crown. ”

Cheng Lao looked carefully at the inscription on the back of the inkstone, and suddenly felt a sense of arrogance and contempt for fame and fortune, and couldn't help but nod.

Cheng Feihu saw that the time was ripe, and immediately took out a blue and white plate.

"Pink and blue engraved blue and white plate!"

When Cheng Lao saw this thing, he immediately couldn't help but kill the past.

Cheng Lao seems to have a unique attainment in porcelain, and he can even see its name at a glance. Zhou You also saw this blue and white plate for the first time, and was shocked by Cheng Feihu's heritage, but also felt that his vision was too small, there are so many good things in this world, why not go out for a walk and take a look.

Cheng Feihu said: "This pink blue and dark engraved blue and white plate was bought by me in a black market auction on Hong Kong Island, and after expert identification, it is indeed a blue and white plate of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and these are the relevant certificates I obtained." ”

Cheng Lao didn't look at the so-called certificates, he kept rubbing, and his mouth involuntarily murmured: "The lines of this blue and white entwined branch and lotus pattern are natural and smooth, and the dignified ones carry the beauty of everyone's ladies; The most important thing is that the decorative techniques of bean green glaze plus blue and white and green glaze dark engraving have appeared very early, and it is very rare for the two to appear in the same vessel at the same time, but they are independent of each other. It highlights the outstanding artistic charm and value of this collection, which is rare in existence, and its value is definitely not inferior to that of ordinary Yuan blue and white. ”

"So expensive!"
