Lu Yating's parents were even more satisfied when they saw Zhao Tianming, and they didn't look down on that Chu Bo at all.

Her eldest brother came over: "Brother, you are a good mixer!"

Zhao Tianming couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm lucky, I just picked up a few treasures, it's not a good thing." Brother Lu, what do you do?"

No matter how thick-skinned Chu Bo was, he couldn't stay any longer, so he gave the aunt a look, stood up and said, "In the hospital, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I won't bother." ”

After speaking, he left with the gifts he brought.

When they went out, Lu Yating's eldest brother was extremely unhappy: "What gift did you bring and take it away?"

The old handsome guy didn't care: "It's okay to take it away! Xiao Zhao, you sit for a while, I'll go stir-fry now. ”

Lu Yating's mother greeted Zhao Tianming warmly, and all kinds of problems hit.

Zhao Tianming hurriedly threw a look at Lu Yating for help, Lu Yating almost didn't laugh, it felt so funny. This big boy, when he was an expert in the show, was a very calm person. However, now I am very pitiful with a very helpless homeless child.

"Mom, why are you asking so much?" she couldn't help but say.

Her mother glared at her daughter, am I really the emperor not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry? Isn't it for you, this girl?

"Help me look at a few things!" Lu Yating said to Zhao Tianming.

In order to get rid of the "clutches" of that aunt, Zhao Tianming hurriedly nodded: "Okay, okay! ”

"What treasures can we have in our family?" Lu Yating's eldest brother was puzzled.

He didn't know that his sister's old book could sell for more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Lu Yating ignored her brother, and went to the room to find three things, all of which were leftovers from her grandfather. A purple clay pot, two paperweights, and an inkstone.

"Grandpa's things, haven't they been burned yet?" Lu Yating's eldest brother frowned.

After Grandpa died, his belongings were basically burned.

"How is this burning? I'm hiding. Lu Yating gave him a blank look. In fact, it is just a memorial. These three things used to be grandpa's favorite. Especially the purple clay pot, they can't touch it.

Zhao Tianming picked up the purple clay pot first and kept looking through it.

"I heard that this kind of teapot is quite valuable. Lu Yating's eldest brother said.

Zhao Tianming responded: "It depends on the situation, some are very valuable, and ordinary ones are not valuable." It's not just antiques, it's the same with other items. ”

He told the people of the Lu family that the purple clay pot is bullish in the auction market, it is an antique with a collection, and the works of famous masters are often hard to find.

Ancient famous pots, from the Ming Zhengde Jiajing period for spring, the six-petal round capsule pot, to the contemporary purple sand mandarin duck tea vessel that can make two kinds of tea at the same time - the Chinese dragon pot, each pot is unique. Because of the perfect combination of artistry and practicality, the purple clay pot is so precious and evocative.

"The purple clay pot generally belongs to the art of the literati, and the simple and elegant taste pursued by the literati in the past is basically what the literati pursued in the past. Just like the literati paintings in Chinese painting, it integrates poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing. If we look at the purple clay pot with the eyes of literati art, it embodies another form of literati painting. He said.

The works of many famous pot makers in history, such as Feng Chun, Shi Dabin, Dong Han and Chen Hongshou, have become rare treasures and treasures that collectors are vying for. In modern times, there are also many master craftsmen who make purple sand teapots, and their works are more artistic.

"The shape of your square vessel is a bit special. ”

Zhao Tianming remembered that the shape of the square ware paid attention to "the circle in the square", which required the line surface of the vessel to be crisp and flat, and the contour lines were clear. Regardless of the square shape, the purple sand spout lid must be uniform, turn the lid arbitrarily, and the mouth lid should be seamed. The traditional shape of the purple sand square bridge top pot, the furnace pot, the monk's hat pot, the snow pot, etc., is the typical shape of the purple sand square teapot.

The one in front of me is a very typical purple sand square teapot.

"Can you tell when it was?" Lu Yating asked.

The others were silent, staring at each other, and the two children were now quiet under the comfort of their mother.

Zhao Tianming wiped the surface of the purple clay pot with a clean cloth, and everyone could see that the part that was wiped was getting brighter and brighter.

"This is called pulp brightness, and it can also be seen that this purple clay pot is not ordinary, a bit of history. ”

He told these people that the appearance of the old pot that has been used for a long time will naturally produce a layer of luster, which is slowly infiltrated by the nourishment of tea juice, which is called "essence and light connotation". A pot with slurry, regardless of whether there are tea stains or dust on its appearance, as long as it is gently wiped with a clean cloth, a luster will appear, and the more it is polished, the brighter it becomes, and the people in the industry call it "slurry bright".

"If it's a fake, if the new pot is old, the appearance is somewhat unnatural, shiny, puffy, and stunned. If you look closely at the body under a magnifying glass, you can also find scratches on the polishing surface. Such pots also often have a musty smell, which can be seen by sniffing carefully.

In addition, the quick slurry will be removed with a brush, while the real old slurry has been integrated with the body of the pot, and the adhesion is extremely strong, and it is difficult to wipe off after repeated cleaning with detergent. ”

"As for the age, I think it should be between one hundred and fifty years and two hundred years!" Zhao Tianming roughly gave a range.

In other words, this should be an object from the Republic of China period.

He looked for a while and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't find the inscription and seal." In general, famous works will leave inscriptions and seals. Such a purple clay pot will be worth twice immediately. ”

In addition, Zhao Tianming observed the texture of this purple clay pot, which is quite good and well-made.

This kind of sophistication is manifested in the positive color of the pot, the uniform particles, the luster is moist, the fetal bones are firm, and the hands are heavy. It can also be distinguished from the variety of mud, such as "azure mud" appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and there is a clear difference from the mud of previous dynasties, if there is a "azure mud" pot known as before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there must be a problem.

"Your grandfather used to raise this purple clay pot very well. However, it's been idle for a few years, right?" Zhao Tianming said.

After the new pot has gone through the process of opening the pot, it can be officially used, and the process of using it is also the process of raising the pot. Compared with boiling a pot, the process of raising a pot is more lengthy and requires a lot of patience. Be sure to raise the pot in the process of tasting tea, not in the process of raising the pot.

"That is, my grandfather used to have this purple clay pot with him! My grandfather has passed away for more than seven years. Lu Yating said.

The rest of the Lu family also realized that this young man was really capable.
