Chapter 102: Heavenly Inkstone
PS: Thank you for the tips of "2. Forced Xiao Youth", "Rogue Freak", and "Mo Rongren"!
Cheng Qiheng said: "So, what you said in order to match the base is simply putting the cart before the horse. ”
Wang Qingchen suddenly said: "So that's the case." By the way, that glaze red ......"
After answering a few questions from Wang Qingchen, Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "Zitao, you should have a treat today, right?"
Meng Zitao pretended to be stupid and said, "I lost so much money today, why do you want me to treat you?"
Wang Qingchen was also a little confused about Cheng Qiheng's words, but thinking of Meng Zitao's previous performance, a thought immediately flashed in his mind, could it be that the brick inkstone just now had something else?
Cheng Qiheng laughed teasingly: "Since you say so, how about transferring the brick inkstone to me? I will pay 200,000 yuan." ”
Meng Zitao shook his head and said, "This is not good, I still want to put it at home as a warning." ”
Cheng Qiheng smiled: "It's boring for you to say this." Okay, don't be appetizing, let's talk about what is so special about that brick inkstone. ”
Meng Zitao smiled and took out the brick inkstone: "If you take a closer look at this inkstone, you may find it." ”
"Then I'll take a look. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Qiheng took the brick inkstone in his hand, observed it carefully, and finally laughed dryly: "Zitao, I really can't see anything wrong with this brick inkstone, so you can give the answer directly." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and pointed to the bottom of the inkstone, and said, "Brother Cheng, don't you think that the bottom of the brick inkstone is a little abnormal?"
"Abnormal?" Cheng Qiheng took the inkstone to his eyes again and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the bottom of the inkstone, he suddenly said loudly: "I know, there is a problem with the pulp." ”
It turns out that the pulp at the bottom of the inkstone is a little worse than the whole, and there is no overall feeling of good life, as if it are two parts.
Cheng Qiheng immediately had a guess and said: "Zitao, what do you mean to say that the bottom of this brick inkstone was added later? ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You can see the problem with a magnifying glass." ”
When Cheng Qiheng heard this, he hurriedly took out the magnifying glass, and immediately saw the problem, at this time, he understood how Meng Zitao could take the magnifying glass out just now, it turned out to be like this.
"Zitao, your eyes are bright enough, you can even see such a secret place. Cheng Qiheng said with a smile.
Meng Zitao smiled: "No way, who made me so serious just now." ”
Although Meng Zitao said this sentence in a joking tone, it still made Cheng Qiheng very emotional, as the old saying goes, everything is afraid of the word serious, if he was so serious just now, maybe he could also see this.
After sighing for a while, Cheng Qiheng exclaimed: "This person's craftsmanship is really superb, and he can do it so seamlessly, ordinary people really can't see it with the naked eye." ”
Wang Qingchen said while driving: "The craftsmanship is high, which means that the more valuable the things hidden in it, I don't know what is in it?"
Cheng Qiheng looked at it: "This brick inkstone is big enough, if the inside is hollowed out, but it can put a lot of treasures, I really can't guess what it is for a while." Zitao, what do you think?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I don't have a clairing eye, how can I know what is in it." Of course, for me, the higher the value, the better. ”
Cheng Qiheng put the brick inkstone back, wiped his hands with wet wipes, and said, "No matter, anyway, it won't be long before you know what is inside." ”
At this time, Wang Qingchen spoke: "I said, it's almost time to eat now, why don't we find a place to have a meal?"
Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "I got up early in the morning, I didn't eat breakfast, and I'm really hungry now, but there are no tools in the dining place, if you want to see what the brick inkstone is, you still have to go back." ”
Wang Qingchen laughed dryly: "Otherwise, let's go back to the antique street first." ”
Cheng Qiheng smiled: "I didn't see it, you are usually quite stable, but I didn't expect it to be an impatient." ”
Wang Qingchen said with a smile: "Isn't this treasure moving......
In the end, the three of them still found a place to have lunch before returning to the antique street.
When he arrived at the store, Cheng Qiheng said, "Zitao, how do we take off the bottom plate?"
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to glue the bottom plate in the first place, so let's take a small hammer and knock it first." ”
Wang Qingchen proposed: "If the hammer is struck, will it destroy the contents of the contents? I think it is better to soak it in water, right?"
Cheng Qiheng immediately objected: "This is not good, in case the things inside are paper products, or objects that are afraid of water, won't it destroy the things?" I think Zitao's method is reliable, besides, the things inside can't be too fragile, as long as you are careful, it should be fine." ”
Since the ability does not have a perspective function, Meng Zitao also has no bottom on what kind of treasure is inside, so he also feels that it is better to use his own method. So, he went to get a hammer and other tools, and prepared to take the bottom plate off.
Under the observation of the magnifying glass, the location of the gap was very clear, and Meng Zitao aimed it at the gap with a flathead screwdriver for repairing the watch, and then raised the hammer and prepared to knock it down.
"Brother Meng, what are you doing?"
Before Meng Zitao's hand fell, Song Yiming and Zheng Yaxin, the two brothers and sisters, walked in excitedly, and when they saw Meng Zitao's posture, they felt extremely curious.
So, Cheng Qiheng explained it to them.
After hearing what happened, stars rose in Zheng Yaxin's eyes, and she hurriedly said that she wanted her to try.
Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "I said Sister Xiaoxin, just your hairy appearance, I'm really worried that you will break the treasure inside." ”
When Zheng Yaxin heard this, her eyes immediately widened: "Uncle, who are you talking about!"
"You call me uncle!" Cheng Qiheng pointed to himself, looking incredible.
Zheng Yaxin sneered: "Why, if you have an opinion, I look at you like this, it's polite enough not to say that you are an old grandfather." I don't believe that you and Brother Meng are standing on the side, you are not old at all! At a young age, I think you must have done too much dirty things, I must tell Sister Xiaohan when I go back, and let her be careful. ”
was crackled by Zheng Yaxin, Cheng Qiheng was speechless, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he really did it himself, knowing that this little girl was sharp-toothed, why provoke her if she had nothing to do.
However, is he really much older than Zitao?
Cheng Qiheng looked at Meng Zitao with some doubts, and found that Meng Zitao did seem to be relatively young, could he really be old?
Seeing that Cheng Qiheng was speechless, Zheng Yaxin smiled proudly, but she did not ask to do it herself. Although she is a little willful, she still understands things.
Meng Zitao laughed secretly, and then tapped lightly with a hammer, for fear that the things inside would be damaged, he didn't dare to use too much force, just like that, after knocking for several minutes, the gap was still loose.
After that, it was fast, and after a while, the piece that was later added to the bottom plate was taken down by Meng Zitao.
I saw that the middle part of the brick inkstone had indeed been hollowed out, and it was filled with something like cotton, which should play a shockproof role.
When he took out the cotton, he saw that there was something wrapped in silk cloth inside, and Meng Zitao carefully took it out, opened it and saw that it was an inkstone.
As soon as the inkstone was started, Meng Zitao felt that this inkstone was warm and moist, and the feel was excellent.
Then look at it, this is a pale green with the shape of the inkstone, the front is just chiseled with the inkstone, but with the shape of the look, it is cute, and look closely, you can also see the shining silver star in the inkstone, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
In addition, there is also an inscription engraved on the back of the inkstone: "Once it is made and cannot be changed, or the main is in virtue, or all in the form, they are both two, Gu Yu'an takes it, leans up and bends his feet, and there are many ...... in the world."
Seeing the performance and inscription of the inkstone, Cheng Qiheng had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and exclaimed: "This is the heavenly inkstone, Su Dongpo's heavenly inkstone!"
"I was born without a field, and I ate a broken inkstone. ”
This is the confession of Su Shi, a famous writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo Aiyan. Later generations said of him: "There is no inkstone on the eastern slope for the field, and the inkstone field here is broken gold." ”
Su Shi's life has been bumpy, with several ups and downs, but he has never given up loving inkstone, playing inkstone and hiding inkstone for a day. Once, Po Weng saw that his friend Zhang Jin's family had a "dragon tail stone inkstone", so he wanted to exchange the family heirloom bronze sword. It can be seen that he likes inkstones, beyond the love of swords.
This time "exchanging swords for inkstones", Su Shi said vigorously: "My bronze sword is like a red snake, and the stone inkstone of the Jun family is oval and hollow." Jun holds my sword to what Xu, and the jade pendant in the Daming Palace rushes his teeth. I have to use the inkstone, and the snow hall window is full of worm shrimp. ”
However, Zhang Jinsu loves Su Shi's literary talents, and he is also very affectionate, he does not accept the bronze sword, and is willing to send Shi Yan to Su Shi. Su Shi couldn't bear it, and Shiyun: "Try to ask Jun Yan for the aftermath, and the poem will smile at the inkstone." Then he gave the sword to Su Shi.
Speaking of which, the first inkstone that Su Shi got was obtained by accident when he was 12 years old. That year, he dug a hole in the soil and played in the idle place at home, and found that a pale green stone was very cute, with a shining silver "star", warm and condensed, and he tried to study ink, which was excellent.
His father Su Xun was also curious, thinking that this stone was "a heavenly inkstone", so he chiseled and sharpened the inkstone pond and told his son to take good care of it. With the passage of time, Su Shi cared more about this inkstone, and recited the above words on the inkstone.
In the second year of Shenzong Yuanfeng, Su Shi was falsely imprisoned, and the "Tianyan" disappeared. 5 years later, he was found in the book cage, Su Shi was old and weak, and he asked his son to take good care of it, and soon he died in the world.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song, the traitor of the government and the opposition, was killed by Sejong, and when he confiscated his family property, he found Su Shi's "Tianyan", but then he didn't know what happened.
No one would have thought that Su Dongpo's heavenly inkstone was hidden in this brick inkstone, and it was not seen again until today.
