Chapter 30 Gu Erniang

Guo Papi's expression was sudden, "I really didn't expect that Yang Bo would have such a ability!"

Jia Huairen was also extremely surprised, he didn't expect this to be the result at all, after a slight pause, he turned his head to look at Yang Bo, "Hey, Yang Bo, do you have an inkstone in your hand?

Yang Bo's heart moved, and he looked over, the reason why he put the inkstone in a conspicuous position was to test Jia Huairen, if there was someone on this street who had a dislike for him, it was Jia Huairen, especially the purpose of his arrival today was not pure, and listening to his question at this time was even more certain!

"Is this what Boss Jia said?" Yang Bo raised the inkstone and asked.

"Yes, how much did you get it, it looks good, it should be forty or fifty thousand, right?" Jia Huairen asked deliberately.

"Forty or fifty thousand? This inkstone is worth forty or fifty thousand? How is it possible?" Guo Papi glanced at it, and finally woke up from the shock.

Jia Huairen frowned, "How could it be impossible? Maybe Yang Bo might be able to see it right!"

Yang Bo kept paying attention to Jia Huairen's expression, "I didn't spend so much, only 20,000 yuan." ”

Jia Huairen was shocked in his heart, what Fang Yuan told him was 40,000 yuan! He opened his mouth to question it, but in the end he held back, and could only sigh: "In the end, he is a rich man, 20,000 yuan is no longer in his eyes!"

Boss Liu stretched out his hand to take the inkstone, looked at it a few times, and also looked up at Yang Bo, "This inkstone is simple and natural in workmanship, it should be completed in the Republic of China, and the price is ...... It shouldn't be worth the price!"

Yang Bo nodded, "I also don't think this inkstone is worth the price!"

"You're a fool, why do you buy it if you don't think it's worth the price?" asked Guo Papi.

Yang Bo didn't answer, he picked up the inkstone, pointed to the bottom of the inkstone and said, "Because there is a 'Gu' word here!"

With that, Yang Bo picked up the inkstone and walked straight towards the stairs, and soon there was the sound of clanging footsteps.

"Hey, what do you mean!" Guo Papi said upstairs, and there was no response to the sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase.

The three of them looked at each other, all puzzled, not knowing what Yang Bo meant, Jia Huairen looked at Guo Papi, "Is there anything on it?"

"There's something for him. Guo Papi said.

……

In a moment, there was a knocking sound on the stairs, and the three of them turned their eyes to see Yang Bo walking down with a hammer!

"What are you doing here?" Jia Huairen became a little nervous, he also knew that his previous performance was too obvious, Yang Bo was afraid that he had already seen it, but he didn't expect Yang Bo to take the hammer down, is this to take violent revenge?

Yang Bo didn't speak, he put down the inkstone and stared at it for a moment, then he took the small hammer and tapped it gently along the left corner.

"Ding, ding!" The hammer made contact with the inkstone, making a crisp sound.

But such a scene made the three of them stunned, everyone didn't expect that Yang Bo would lose money and smash this inkstone with his own hands!

"Yang Bo, what are you going to do here?" Boss Liu took two steps forward and grabbed Yang Bo's shoulder.

"Since you bought it back for 20,000 yuan, it should be regarded as a lesson, when everyone has an eye, this Republic of China inkstone can still be sold for one or two thousand, and the loss is not a lot!" Boss Liu said with relief.

Yang Bo raised the hammer a little higher and looked up at Boss Liu, "Don't worry, I have my own plans, wait a while, and you can see it." ”

After that, Yang Bo didn't explain anymore, raised the hammer, and struck it again.

Yang Bo's movements were very light, not at all like he wanted to break the inkstone, and after a moment of light knocking, just when the three of them couldn't wait to stand up, a smile flashed on Yang Bo's face.

Then, Yang Bo took out a pencil sharpener from his pocket, the blade was extremely thin, and he inserted the blade towards the inkstone.

How is it possible for a blade to be inserted into a stone?

Guo Papi looked at this scene and was about to ask Yang Bo to stop, but the next scene made his eyes round, because he really saw the blade inserted into the inkstone!

"How is this possible!" Guo Papi exclaimed, "How could the blade be inserted into the stone!"

"There seems to be a crack!" Boss Liu found that Yang Bo had only inserted a part of the blade, and kept gently flicking it with the tip of the knife, as if he wanted to pull away the stone!

Soon, the inkstone in Yang Bo's hand began to separate, a small piece of "brick" was like a nut, was peeled off by Yang Bo layer by layer, the inkstone was separated, Yang Bo picked it up with one hand, pulled it hard, and heard a "pop" sound, like a wine bottle cap opened, and the inkstone was completely separated!

The three of them looked at this scene in shock, and saw Yang Bo gently falling downward, and soon, a piece of inkstone slipped from the "bricks"!

"This! this...... This is incredible!" Boss Liu exclaimed.

Jia Huairen was also frightened by this scene, and then there was a burst of anger, because this inkstone was sent to Yang Bo, although it is still unclear the origin of this inkstone, but just looking at such strict protection measures is to know that this inkstone is very precious!

"Yang Bo, why did you pick up the leak again?" If Guo Papi still had a trace of suspicion before, he no longer had any illusions at this time, and seeing Yang Bo pick up the leak with his own eyes made him succumb.

Yang Bo picked up the inkstone, with a smile on his face, and noticed that the seal script in the lower right corner of this inkstone was signed "Wumen Gu Erniang made". The aperture in front of him was thick, and a ray of light flew into his eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh!

Gu Erniang was a female inkstone craftsman in the Qing Dynasty, a native of Suzhou, active in the period from Yongzheng to Qianlong, and intersected with Huang Ren, a famous Tibetan inkstone artist at that time, and was deeply appreciated by Huang Ren.

Huang Ren was a calligrapher and painter at that time, addicted to inkstones, he dismissed the official and returned to his hometown when he bought only 2,000 taels of ten ancient inkstones, and built a house to treasure, named "Ten Yan Xuan", and called himself "Ten Yan Old Man". When he was an official in Duanzhou, Huang Ren once got a good inkstone, and in order to find a master of making inkstones, he hid the stone by his side for more than ten years.

Later, I heard that there was an inkstone master Gu Erniang in Suzhou, so he rushed to Suzhou from Yongfu, Fujian Province with stones, Gu Erniang saw that the old man of the ten inkstones was so sincere, and the stone was indeed a good material, so he happily made a beautiful inkstone for him.

The old man of Shiyan was very grateful, and immediately wrote a poem entitled "Gift to Gu Erniang", engraved in the back of the inkstone, and the poem cloud: "An inch of dry will cut purple mud, and the door and lane will be in the west at the beginning of the day." How to roll the rolling machine hand, cut all over the Duanzhou Shili Creek. ”

Since then, the two have formed a deep friendship. Later, Gu Erniang made famous inkstones such as imitation Ming Mansion blue and white inkstones for the old man of Shiyan.

Moreover, the Palace Museum still has Gu Erniang's posthumous masterpieces!
