Uncle Sheng is really bored in the store, this antique shop is generally a small number of people, every day is to drink tea and chat, drink tea and chat, drink tea and drink to vomit. It's rare that someone came over today, didn't Uncle Sheng just pull someone to talk.

It just so happens that Luo Tong also likes to listen to these, isn't this Uncle Sheng just interested. He squeezed Sheng Qiwu aside, and followed Luo Tong's side, Luo Tong could say anything he saw, but he was much stronger than Sheng Qiwu's professional knowledge.

Sheng Qiwu and Aunt Sheng behind the counter glanced at each other, and honestly went to sit down on the sofa on the side, while Aunt Sheng lowered her head and continued to look at the little gourd.

But almost all antique shops have a hidden corner, and they basically have things to deal with inside, and Uncle Sheng is no exception. Seeing the shelf in the corner, Luo Tong thought that when she was in Panjiayuan, she also found the eighteen lotus seeds in the corner.

Uncle Sheng talked for more than half an hour, and his mouth was a little dry. Seeing Luo Tong squatting down in the corner, Uncle Sheng shrugged, so he went to the counter to drink a sip of water first. Anyway, there are no good things over there, so she can watch it if she likes it.

Did Luo Tong see anything, no, she just enjoyed the fun of Taobao. There may not be any good stuff here, but she just likes it.

There are also miscellaneous items on this shelf, including dusty incense burners, old coins, and even a few porcelain, as well as purple clay pots.

Luo Tong doesn't know what antiques are, she just looks at what she likes, she looks good, she is such a face control.

There is a porcelain jar in this that fits Luo Tong's mind, and this porcelain jar is not big, about 12 centimeters high, and about 10 centimeters in diameter.

This porcelain jar is tied to the neck and flat belly, and the shape is delicate. The shoulders are decorated with a symmetrical Ruyi ear, the abdomen is painted with a twig pattern, the painting brushwork is stretched and smooth, and the blue and white flowers are bright and bright.

Anyway, Luo Tong thought it looked good, thinking that it would be good to take this thing back and put it in the study. Well, that's it.

Luo Tong took the porcelain jar and walked towards the counter, where Uncle Sheng was sitting and resting. Seeing that Luo Tong had a harvest, Sheng Qiwu, who was sitting on the sofa, also walked to the counter.

He also wanted to see what Luo Tong could choose to come out, just now Uncle Sheng introduced it for so long, she didn't like any of them, and she didn't know what she found in the corner, and she was so precious.

Uncle Sheng had a good look in his eyes, and when he saw the porcelain jar in Luo Tong's hand, his brows furrowed, is there such a thing in the store? Why is he not impressed?

I guess he didn't think it was worth much at the time, so he put it in the corner. If Luo Tong hadn't flipped it out today, he wouldn't have known that there was such a small thing in the store.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, you have taken a fancy to this? I'm not blowing it here, there are still a lot of good things. ”

Luo Tong put the porcelain jar on the counter and smiled a little embarrassed, "Uncle, I just see it beautiful, I want to buy it back and put it in the study, it looks quite delicate." ”

Sheng Qiwu didn't speak, he moved the porcelain jar in front of him and looked at it carefully, "Uncle, this is Shui Cheng, right?"

"Shui Cheng?" Luo Tong wondered, isn't this just a jar?

Uncle Sheng nodded: "It's a bit of knowledge, that's right, this is Shui Cheng." ”

Luo Tong, who didn't know it, said that he couldn't afford to be hurt. Sheng Qiwu, who received an affirmative answer, also stopped talking, just lowered his head and held his mobile phone, not knowing what he was messing with.

Seeing Luo Tong's ignorant face, Uncle Sheng smiled and said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are still quite discerning, and this water is placed in the study." ”

"Uncle, what is this water for?"

"The four treasures of this study are divided into pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and people in ancient times didn't pursue the five elements?"

People think that this inkstone is stone, and the stone can be used to refine gold and silver, so the inkstone is "gold"; the paper is made of grass and trees, and it can belong to "wood"; the ink is smoked and belongs to the fire; the pen comes from the sheep, rabbits, rats, and wolves, and this animal is all settled in the soil, so it belongs to the "soil". ”

"The four treasures of this study are all gold, wood, fire, and earth, so isn't there a shortage of water? People think, if the bowl is used as water, then the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are complete. The water bowl, also known as the water and inkstone, was called "water injection" in ancient times. ”

"So what is this for?" Luo Tong was still confused, she just wanted to know what it was for.

"The main purpose of this water is to add water to the inkstone pond. Uncle Sheng spread his hands, and the use of this is really not much, it is mainly for ornamental purposes.

Shuicheng first appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties. Its shapes are diverse and ever-changing, but most of them are conformal and pictographic, while others are round, oblate, or vertical.

In terms of material, the materials used in water are very rich, including clay, porcelain, copper, jade, crystal, tortoiseshell, green pine, agate, glass, lacquerware, bamboo and wood, cloisonné, etc. more than 500 kinds.

Its patterns are even more colorful, royal blue, Jun red, emerald green, black gold, lotus green, goose yellow, figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, cordyceps, everything.

In addition to the practical significance, the water is more ornamental. It is placed on the desk of the study, accompanied by the inkstone, and opposite to the literati.

Therefore, it must conform to the owner's taste before it can be selected, including its material, craftsmanship, modeling, ornamentation, painting, etc., otherwise it will be difficult to be among them.

In addition, from the perspective of health preservation, water can rest the heart and nourish the mind, "wash the atmosphere of the world, and purify the heart". From a psychological point of view, water can help Wensi, "the treasure of several cases, which can be pleasing to the heart and the eye".

But these Uncle Sheng didn't have a detailed introduction to Luo Tong, and the key was relatively boring.

"Uncle, how much does this cost? I like it very much. Luo Tong was straightforward, it stands to reason that the most taboo thing in this shopping is to put your preferences on the surface. But Uncle Sheng is a familiar person, and Luo Tong is not willing to make these twists and turns.

Uncle Sheng touched his nose and glanced at Shui Cheng slightly. "This water is presented to me when I was digging the old house, and it was given to me as a partner, and it didn't have much money, if you really like it, you can take it for a thousand yuan. ”

As soon as he said this, the corners of Sheng Qiwu's eyes twitched, the pair that people sent, you asked for a thousand, is it a little black-hearted?

However, thinking of the words he saw at the bottom before, Sheng Qiwu felt that the 1,000 yuan was worth it again. Fortunately, Uncle Sheng didn't know the value of this water, and if he knew, Uncle Sheng would regret that he had lowered the price.

Of course Sheng Qiwu won't say this, anyone is willing to buy good things for a small amount of money. Besides, who made Uncle Sheng so black-hearted?

Luo Tong didn't hesitate, it's hard to buy a good heart. After the Alipay transfer, Luo Tong was at ease, and what he didn't get was not his own, and now the dust has finally settled.

After carefully packing the water, the two said goodbye to Uncle Sheng and prepared to go to the old street.
