Jiang Heng saw Meng Zitao's unhappy appearance, and he also knew that the method he thought of was indeed detrimental to Meng Zitao's reputation, but this was also a helpless way, if his friend continued like this, people would definitely collapse, and even their lives would be in danger. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I think at the beginning, when he was young, he worked in a factory with his friends, at that time his job was to operate the machine tool, because there was something at home, he didn't sleep well for several nights, and when he operated the machine tool, he rolled the clothes into the machine tool, if it wasn't for his friend's fast action, now it is likely that there will be no him.

He adheres to the concept of the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention the grace of saving lives, so he definitely can't watch his friend die depressed like this.

Next, Jiang Heng first told Meng Zitao about the matter between him and his friend, and then said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I also know that this matter is not good for your reputation, but I really have no other way but to try it now." But don't worry, I've already told my friend's wife about it, let's go now, no one else will be there, and besides, I'll buy it back and dispose of it afterwards, so that no one else can see it. ”

Meng Zitao asked, "In that case, why don't you just buy it?"

Jiang Heng said solemnly: "We are true friends, so I also ask Shopkeeper Meng to help, and I will definitely satisfy you as much as possible with the expenses during the period." ”

Meng Zitao thought about it for a while and said, "With all due respect, there are several famous calligraphers in our city, why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Yang Lao and others all call you a contemporary grass saint, I think there should be no one more suitable than you." And, to be honest, my friend asked Yu Yexiang to help identify him before, and his status in the calligraphy and painting industry in Lingshi City is really incomparable to ordinary people, except for you, I really can't find a suitable one. ”

At the end, Jiang Heng smiled embarrassedly.

Meng Zitao looked at Jiang Heng with a smile, Jiang Heng said that Yu Yexiang is one of the chief appraisal experts of Xi Zhengzhen, if you want to overturn Yu Yexiang's conclusion, in addition to the reputation is at least the same as Yu Yexiang, you must not be afraid of making Yu Yexiang unhappy.

After all, although Jiang Heng has thought it through, who knows if it will reach Yu Yexiang's ears.

Therefore, many experts may not want to take on such a job because they are afraid of Ye Xiang, but Meng Zitao has no problem, and now the people in the antique street know that he and Xi Zhengzhen do not deal with each other, and there is no intersection with the palms that Xi Zhengzhen invited, even if they are evil.

Therefore, for Jiang Heng, Meng Zitao is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Jiang, you can look at the cost." ”

When he said this, he mainly had to look at Jiang Heng's performance to decide the next decision.

Jiang Heng had already prepared, he took out a brocade box from a pocket he carried, opened it and handed it to Meng Zitao.

"This is the old red silk stone inkstone that I picked up before, you see if Ji doesn't like it. ”

Red silk stone inkstone, its stone is produced in Lu Province, because the stone is mostly red silk of citrus yellow ground, purple rehmannia silk pattern, etc., silk spinning more than ten layers are not chaotic, so it is called red silk stone.

In the Tang Dynasty, the red silk stone inkstone was the first of the four famous inkstones, and the stone source was exhausted at the end of the Song Dynasty.

The original red silk stone inkstone was produced from the red silk stone cave of Qingzhou Black Mountain, and then because of its raw materials were exhausted, the main production area was Linqu Laoyagu, and its color was brighter than the ancient Qingzhou Black Mountain red silk stone, but the ink effect was far from the same.

Jiang Heng brought this piece of red silk stone inkstone, is made of the old red silk stone, although compared with the current red silk stone, not so bright, the overall red and yellow, irregular pictographic pattern, more interesting, the ink pool is engraved with dragon patterns, the back of the antique bronze Gui, exquisite workmanship, meticulous. Fall "Gui Fu" paragraph.

Gui Fu for the Qing Dynasty seal carver, text exegete, the end of the word valley, the number of Donghui, don't sign the desecration of the well to restore the people, Qianlong 55 years Dengjinshi, its collection of books is very rich, good to test the source of literature.

Judging from the carving characteristics of this inkstone, it should be the authentic work of Gui Fu, and the old red silk stone is used, which is quite rare.

"This inkstone is really good, but it's too valuable. ”

In the final analysis, today's matter, he just took the risk of losing his reputation, if Jiang Heng can indeed do what he said, the risk is still very low, and this inkstone is worth at least about 200,000, which is too much as a hard work.

Jiang Heng waved his hand: "To be honest, even in terms of market value, if you can save my friend's life, it will be too worth it for me." ”

Having said that, Mencius still excused himself, and finally said with great enthusiasm: "In this way, if the facts can be successfully completed, then I will accept it." ”

Jiang Heng nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, then let's settle it." ”

Saying that, Jiang Heng insisted on handing over the inkstone to Meng Zitao first, saying that he wanted to please him, but Meng Zitao smiled and temporarily accepted it first.

The two then walked towards Jiang Heng's friend's community.

"Mr. Jiang, can you tell me the origin of this inkstone?"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "This inkstone was actually given to me by the seller as an additive, I didn't spend any money, that person really didn't know the gold and jade, thinking that this was just an ordinary red silk stone inkstone." ”

Meng Zitao knew that this was actually a normal phenomenon, because if the average person who collects the new mine red silk inkstone now, they would not think that this inkstone is a high-grade red silk inkstone. Because of its light color, there is still a white substance in the cracks of the stone surface, which is not as beautiful as the current red silk stone inkstone.

In fact, there is a reason for this, because the old red silk stone inkstone contains a large amount of carbon, acid and salt, so after soaking, there will be an oily and smooth salted ointment, with this greasy, it is compatible with the ink that grinds out, just like the oil is beautiful, and the grinding ink is also more than the famous old pit inkstone. So at that time, it was ranked first among the famous "four" inkstones of Duan, She, and Chengni.

This kind of black mountain red silk stone also has a characteristic, that is, this kind of inkstone has been used for a long time, because the carbonate contained in it seeps out like a greasy substance due to solidification and dries, a layer of extremely fine white will appear on the side of the inkstone in the milk peak gap of the stone surface, this layer of white gathered is generally not washed off, but it is invisible after wetting. This is a unique feature of the ancient Montenegrin red silk inkstone.

Therefore, the old red silk inkstone is a little troublesome to use, it should be soaked in water before use, and sealed with a box after use, so as not to evaporate its water and make the stone dry.

In addition, because of frequent soaking in water, the minerals inside the inkstone will become less, the red part contained in this old red silk stone, after a long time, it will oxidize, the oxidized red will slowly turn into light purple, and the light purple will slowly turn black and light black after a long time to disappear, and after disappearing, it will be like an ordinary rough stone, or even an ordinary stone.

The yellow part of the present, after a long time, will also become from yellow to white, white for a long time and from white to green into mud black and dry up layers, weathering and falling off to make the inkstone self-destruct, when it slowly self-destructs in the oxidation of the years, it is no different from the color of ordinary stone.

So people will treat it as a very ordinary and ordinary rotten stone, and even the owner will be very puzzled to ask: why did people in the past use this ordinary stone to make inkstones?

In fact, this is because this process of transformation will slowly evolve after many generations of use, and it is not easy to feel these slight changes when used at ordinary times, and many users are not people who specialize in ancient inkstones, so they will naturally not be found.

It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to pass on the red silk stone inkstone in the past to the present, and even if it is passed on to the present, in the face of an ordinary stone, everyone will not care, maybe when the garbage is thrown away.

Along the way, the two chatted, and soon arrived at Jiang Heng's friend's area.

followed Jiang Heng to his friend's house, and after pressing the doorbell, someone came and opened the door after a while.

The one who opened the door was Jiang Heng's friend's wife, the whole person was sad, ten years older than his actual age, and he looked like he was in his seventies.

Jiang Heng introduced the two parties: "Sister-in-law, this is what I said about Teacher Meng, don't look at him young, not only is he famous, but he has also been rated as a contemporary grass saint by many old-timers in China, and he just appeared on TV last week." ”

The old lady was surprised by Meng Zitao's age at first, but after listening to the introduction, she was immediately relieved, not to mention anything else, she believed that Jiang Heng would not lie to him.

The old lady grabbed Meng Zitao's hand: "Teacher Meng, I'll trouble you today." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "You're welcome, I will do my best." ”

After the two of them were polite, Jiang Heng asked, "Sister-in-law, how is Lao Yin's mood today?"

Speaking of her wife, the old lady couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this old man is really stubborn, I'm about to say it, he still looks half-dead, except for eating and going to the toilet, he sleeps in bed all day long and sulks, and if he goes on like this, he is really not far from death." ”

Knowing that this friend of mine likes to drill the horns the most, it is reasonable that the situation does not improve, but in this case, he can only continue with the previous plan.

Jiang Heng said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, after today, he will definitely become vigorous again." ”

The old lady opened her mouth, and at the last moment changed her words, saying, "I hope so." ”

The old lady took the two of them to the living room and sat down, and was about to make tea, Jiang Heng hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll just make tea, you go and let Lao Yin come out." ”

"Okay, the tea is there, you can take it yourself. ”

The old lady walked into the bedroom, and after a while, there were shouts and complaints, and after a few minutes, I saw an old lady with an angry face, walking out of the bedroom with an old man who was so thin that he was about to become a bamboo pole, this person was Jiang Heng's friend Yin Wancai.

Jiang Heng frowned lightly and said, "Lao Yin, look at you, as for making yourself look like this for a calligraphy work?"

Yin Wancai said angrily: "I'm not for that calligraphy work, I'm complaining that I'm too stupid, knowing that there are many fakes in the antique market, and there are really few, I still used all my savings to buy it, I completely did it myself." ”

Jiang Heng said helplessly: "What kind of bull's horns are you drilling, even if the thing is a fake, what can you solve now?"

Yin Wancai was silent, and Jiang Heng felt anxious: "Old Yin, cheer up, where did you go to the one who dared to do things at the beginning? Besides, didn't I say it, whether that painting was forged by later generations, I don't know?"

Yin Wancai said: "You only know a little about calligraphy appraisal, and you are not as good as me." ”

"I don't know anything about it, didn't I invite an expert over?" Jiang Heng looked at Meng Zitao.

"He's an expert?" Yin Wancai looked at the young Meng Zitao, who didn't speak well, and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Heng said: "This is the shopkeeper of the Appreciation Pavilion, can't he be called an expert?"

Yin Wancai had also heard of Meng Zitao, and when he heard this, he was surprised that Meng Zitao was really as young as everyone said, and hurriedly apologized to Meng Zitao. Meng Zitao didn't care and said it didn't matter.

I heard Jiang Heng continue: "Lao Yin, you don't know yet, Shopkeeper Meng is called a contemporary grass saint by Yang Lao, do you think he is qualified to be called an expert?"

"What!" Yin Wancai was suddenly a little dumbfounded: "Which Yang Lao?"

"Of course, it's the old Yang in the capital. Jiang Heng replied.

"This ......" Yin Wancai felt that he had slept too much and hallucinated, when was the young man in his twenties able to be rated as a grass saint?

Jiang Heng said: "This and this, it's all on TV, and there can be fakes." ”

Although Yin Wancai felt that it was impossible for Jiang Heng to make such a joke, he was still very incredible in his heart, of course, he was somewhat impolite like this, so he apologized to Meng Zitao.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few seniors who show love, and it can't be taken seriously. Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, and said a few words modestly.

Jiang Heng said: "Lao Yin, what are you waiting for, take out that painting quickly." ”

"Oh...... Okay, okay, I'll get it right away. ”

After a while, Yin Wancai took the work from the room and invited Meng Zitao to appreciate it.

Liu Yongzi Chongru, is an important minister during the Qianlong period, has held a number of important positions, Jiaqing early official to Tirenge University Scholar, plus the prince Shaobao, died Wenqing. Because of a popular drama, Liu Yong's "Liu Luoguo" is a household name in the country.

But in fact, Liu Yong is not a "Luo Guo", according to research, the Qing Dynasty had comprehensive and strict standards for selecting officials. To sum up, there are four words: "body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment", "body" refers to a good and upright physique, "speech" refers to a well-spoken and clear expression, "book" refers to a neat font and delicate penmanship, and "judgment" refers to accurate judgment and quick thinking. As an official of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong must pass these four audits.

If Liu Yong is a "Luo Guo", it will not only be difficult to establish official authority, but also damage the national body, even if he is talented, he will not be able to enter the court as an official.

As for the title of "Liu Luoguo", in fact, it originated from Jiaqing, after Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, Liu Yong was over eighty years old, and his body was naturally a little hunched over, and Emperor Jiaqing often called it "Liu Luozi", this title gradually spread, and the people mistakenly thought that Liu Yong was born with a hunchback.

To get back to the point, Liu Yong's attainments in calligraphy are also quite profound, his calligraphy started with Dong and Zhao, and then came to the Jin, Tang and Song dynasties, especially Su Dongpo, Yan Zhenqing and Jin and Tang Xiaokai, which are integrated and self-contained. The points of his book are short and thick in the plump places, and the thin and strong parts are contained and healthy, and the contrast is strong; the knots are introverted and simple, and never congested, and the dignified and steady are revealing the spirit and beauty; the chapters are staggered, comfortable and graceful.

In general, the overall style of Liu Yong's calligraphy is subtle, introverted, like Tai Chi, dignified and clear, with the weight of a Confucian minister, and the frivolity of arrogance, which seems to contain all things and is unfathomable, and respectable.

Yin Wancai's calligraphy is a calligraphy work, and the style of the whole rest is basically the same as that of Liu Yong, but it is slightly different in some subtle places, giving Mencius who has appreciated the authentic work a sense of nondescriptry.

In addition, the seal of the work is Zhu Wen's "Liu Yongxin seal", which is also a little dull, just by virtue of this seal, under normal circumstances, this work can be judged to be a forgery.

But after careful inspection, Meng Zitao found that this calligraphy work was not simple, he took out a magnifying glass to check it little by little, and finally checked the paper again, and he had a number in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Meng, is this work real or fake?" Yin Wancai looked at Meng Zitao with great apprehension.

Meng Zitao looked at Jiang Heng, who frequently glanced at him, and said with a slight smile: "This work can't be said to be a forgery......

Meng Zitao had just said this, when someone suddenly knocked on the door and walked in with two people.

When Meng Zitao saw the visitor, he was a little surprised, because one of them was Yu Yexiang, the main owner of this work who had previously appraised it.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Zitao showed a smile to Yu Yexiang, because he knew too well what kind of character Yu Yexiang was.

As the old saying goes, people gather by like, and things are divided by groups, Xi Zhengzhen is the person who has the most important personal interests, and the palm-eye experts invited are basically like-minded, and Yu Yexiang is of course no exception.

Of course, Yu Yexiang can make Xi Zhengzhen value it, and the level will definitely not be bad, and Meng Zitao believes that if Yu Yexiang can personally identify it, he will definitely not misunderstand this work, but the premise is that he personally appraises,

In normal times, please ask Yu Yexiang's appraisal, unless it is a particularly important person, the others rarely do it yourself, but let other experts in the store do it for you, but the appraisal fee is still that.

You said that there are no mistakes, of course there are, but there are very few, and even fewer come to the door in the end. And even if you come to the door, it's a big deal to waive the other party's appraisal fee, and then make a little compensation, and point out that it is because of various third-party reasons that the result is wrong.
