After that, until the first year of Daoguang (1821), for some reason, this inkstone appeared in the market and was bought by Chen Hailou, the county commander of Dongyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1894), when Wu Lu, the last champion of Wenling, was in southern Anhui, he happened to find that Yue Feiyan in an antique street, and he was suddenly surprised, so he spent a lot of money to buy it back and brought it to his hometown Wenling.

According to Wu Lu in his "Zhengqi Zhai Manuscript", he said: "The Yu family collects the Zhengqi inkstone, which is the old thing of Yue Zhongwu, and the inscription of the eight characters of Zhongwu 'holding firm, guarding white, not phosphorus, and not Zi' is engraved on the back, and the inscription of Wen Xinguo (Wen Tianxiang) is engraved on the side, and the record of Mr. Xie Dieshan (Xie Fangde) is engraved below. The three princes are all lonely and loyal to the Song family, and those who have the righteousness of the universe are also. The house of Mr. Qiu Song, an old Tibetan merchant, is called a righteous inkstone because of its name. In the first mid-autumn, the rest of the southern Anhui is like a treasure. ”

Yue Fei's "Zhengqi Yan" is probably named by the old Tibetan merchant Mr. Qiu Song Yantang.

After Wu Lu's death, the Zhengqi inkstone was treasured in his hometown by his fourth son, Zhongshan. Wu Zhongshan named the study "Shouyan Zhai". Wu Zhongshan's eldest son, Pulin, lived in the Philippines, and his second son, Xulin, studied in Dongying and later served as the general manager of Kobe Daesei.

In 1933, Wu Xulin returned to China to run a school with a lack of heart, and his father passed on the righteousness inkstone to him at this time, and he knew the importance of guarding the treasure inkstone, and hid it in the high pavilion.

Who knew that Wu Xulin, who returned from Dongying, in the fifties and sixties of the last century, because of family composition, the whole family was swept away, of which more than 6,000 classics, thousands of calligraphy and paintings, Wu Lu relics and a number of other precious objects were copied, and the rare treasure Zhengqi inkstone was also among them.

Since then, the Zhengqi inkstone has not appeared, and it has been a mystery where it is. Some people say that this inkstone was sold to foreign businessmen and is now in the United States, and some people say that it was taken by Dongying people, but it is not known where it is.

After listening to Meng Hongchang's story, He Wanyi and Xiaoyun were surprised. Maybe this inkstone doesn't look too conspicuous, but just by virtue of the inscriptions and inkblots of three patriotic ministers appearing on this inkstone at the same time, it can be said that it is very valuable.

However, if you want to prove that this inkstone is a righteous inkstone, of course, you can't just rely on Meng Hongchang's words, Meng Zitao checked the inscription on the back.

I saw that in the middle is the 8 characters of "holding on to the white, not phosphorus and not Zi"; the inscription on the forehead of the eyebrows is the book of the Song Dynasty Metabolism Fangde, "Fang Dejia Tibetan Yue Zhongwu ink, similar to the inscription, this cover Zhongwu old things, Xie Fang has to remember"; the inscription on the left side of Wen Tianxiang is engraved with the inscription of Ming Qizhi: "Although the inkstone is not iron, it is difficult to wear, although the heart is not as strong as the stone, the Buddha of the guard is self-sufficient." ”

In this way, even if there is no result given in advance by the ability, Meng Zitao can prove that this inkstone is genuine.

"Is it true?" asked Ho.

"It's the real thing. Meng Zitao nodded.

"Wow, didn't you pick up another big leak?" Xiaoyun exclaimed.

Meng Zitao shook his head with a smile: "Strictly speaking, this is not a leak. ”

When Xiao Yun heard this, he said a little incredulously: "I said that you are too dissatisfied, this inkstone is at least millions, or even tens of millions is normal, you still say that it is not a leak?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with being content, because I will donate this inkstone." ”

"What! you're crazy!" Xiao Yun's eyes widened, wondering if Meng Zitao's mind was suddenly confused.

Not to mention Xiaoyun, He Wanyi and Meng Hongchang also couldn't figure it out, how could Meng Zitao want to donate this inkstone.

Meng Zitao did not explain immediately, but took out his mobile phone, checked a news on the Internet, put his mobile phone on the table, and said, "You will know by looking at it." ”

This news was from 2007, and it said that Wu Lu's descendants wanted to spend a lot of money to find a righteous inkstone and donate it to the Forbidden City.

While everyone was reading the news, Meng Zitao said: "When I saw it on the Internet, I thought, if I can get this inkstone one day, I will definitely donate it to the country without a penny." ”

"How many years ago did this happen, what does it have to do with you?" Xiaoyun shook his head.

Meng Zitao said: "Of course, you can't say that, for example, if someone robbed someone's treasure, and did not recover it at that time, after twenty or thirty years, that treasure appeared again, and appeared on the market to sell it in a grand manner.

"Of course, I can also buy and sell in secret, and no one else can find out about me, but I am not short of money, so why do I do this? If I collect it myself, this inkstone has the inscriptions of three patriotic ministers, I think it is of great educational significance, and it is completely tyrannical in my hands. So, for me, giving it away is the best option. ”

There is another point that Meng Zitao did not say, he still has an official status. In addition, he also wanted to make a name for himself by doing this, after all, he is not a person who has no desires.

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, everyone somewhat understood Meng Zitao's thoughts.

Xiaoyun said: "Also, you are the rich man of the soil, and your level is so high, it is common to pick up leaks, and it is nothing to donate an inkstone." ”

Meng Zitao touched his heart: "How can you say it is so ordinary, my heart is actually aching faintly." ”

With a burst of laughter, the matter passed. ……

The next day, Meng Zitao went to visit the master, and after greeting him, he took out the square qi inkstone he got yesterday: "Master, take a look at this inkstone." ”

When Zheng Anzhi saw this inkstone, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked it up and appreciated it carefully, and after a while, he shouted loudly.

"Zitao, where did you get this Fangzheng Qi Yan?"

"That's what happened. Meng Zitao briefly talked about yesterday's events.

"I don't even know what to say about your luck. Zheng Anzhi laughed, and then asked, "What are you going to do with this inkstone?"

Meng Zitao replied: "I want to donate it to the Forbidden City." ”

When Zheng Anzhi heard this, his eyes were full of relief when he looked at Meng Zitao: "Tell me, what do you think." ”

Meng Zitao repeated what he said yesterday.

Zheng Anzhi said good, he is more and more satisfied with his closed disciple, not to mention his outstanding ability, and he is humble and decent, and he has his own ideas, what more can he ask for in this life to accept such a disciple?

"That's it, aren't you going to the capital next month, my contact, put the time of your donation at that time. ”

"Thank you, master. Meng Zitao immediately said: "By the way, master, it must not be too grand at that time, and it is best not to have any video materials." ”

"Why?" Zheng Anzhi was a little curious.

Meng Zitao explained: "Aren't I still young? These are the Internet era, there are rumors and gossip, and good things can be said to be bad things in some people's mouths, and I don't want to trouble." As long as the circle can know what I've done. ”

Zheng Anzhi nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's do it." ”

The master and apprentice chatted a few more words, and Meng Zitao suddenly thought of something: "Master, do you know anything about my trip to the capital next month?"

Zheng Anzhi smiled playfully: "I am one of the members of the expert group, do you say I know?"

"Ah!" Meng Zitao was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Master, since this is the case, why don't you mention me." ”

Zheng Anzhi smiled: "Since I am one of the expert groups, I still have to abide by the rules, there are some things that others can tell you, but I can't." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I understand this, but can you always look at me and tell me, what is going on, I still have dark eyes, and I don't know anything." ”

"Didn't Aze mention it to you?" Zheng Anzhi was a little strange.

Meng Zitao said: "He didn't mention anything to me at all, saying that he would not explain to me until he arrived in the capital, and he didn't know what he was selling." ”

"This kid!" Zheng Anzhi shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Let me tell you briefly, what you are going to participate in is a competition, an antique appraisal competition, which will be held every four years. ”

Meng Zitao was surprised: "Antique appraisal competition? ”

Zheng Anzhi said: "Hehe, this is a relatively private game, as long as the relevant personnel know, and no information can be revealed, as for the reason, let's wait for Aze to explain to you then." ”

Although Meng Zitao was very puzzled in his heart, since the master said so, he nodded and said, "Okay, what about the competition method?"

Zheng Anzhi said: "I can't tell you this, and the method of the competition will only be announced when the competition starts, so you don't have to worry about any players knowing in advance." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, the curiosity in his heart became stronger, and he really wanted to go and see what kind of game it was now.

I heard Zheng Anzhi continue: "You should go this time to increase your knowledge, don't think too much." ”

"Well, I see. Meng Zitao solemnly agreed.

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just take it as a trip, I think with your eyesight, it should be easier to get a better ranking." In addition, I suggest that you learn more English on a regular basis, and you will definitely be able to use it in the future. ”

"Okay. Meng Zitao agreed, but his heart became more and more curious, what does the master mean, do you think that I will definitely have the opportunity to go abroad in the future?

As for the learning of English, Meng Zitao may have been very big in the past, but now he is not cowardly at all, jokes, with his memory that is almost unforgettable, what is so difficult about learning English?

In addition, Meng Zitao felt that since the master asked him not to have too much pressure, it means that the competition must have a certain degree of difficulty, in this case, he must perform well, and as a close disciple of the master, he can't embarrass the master. (To be continued.) )
