Looking at Su Yuan's smiling expression, he took a deep breath and sighed incomparably: "The old man really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I didn't expect Mr.'s eyesight to be so magical, rare in his life!"

Slowly sat down and said: "Remove mugwort, kapok, wick, bamboo, and lotus silk can all be used to make ink. After the ancestors tried continuously, it was found that the cotton was soft, the wick stem was rigid, the bamboo was slippery, and the lotus silk was weak, and it was not as good as mugwort alone. On the contrary, after adding Zhuru, the two are integrated with each other and the texture is improved, which is also the foundation of Dai Yuexuan's century-old life!"

Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, some words were up to the point, in fact, Dai Yuexuan's secret was not passed on!

There are many kinds of oil for preparing ink, such as tea oil, castor, flax, and vegetable oil. The tea oil is clear and does not help to get tired for a long time. The castor beans are thick and heavy, and the advantage is that the paper does not seep. The flax is floating, and the color is poor. Vegetable oil is yellow in color, and it is easy to seep through sexual stagnation.

Dai Yuexuan uses tea oil, the procedures are complicated, careless, all failures, each process is the predecessors of the tempering, hard work condensation.

The three of them left the Forbidden City, Geng Baochang insisted that the two of them go to the house to sit, the home was very simple, the old man's life savings were used to collect porcelain, and finally all donated to the Forbidden City.

"Old decay can't accept the favor of Mr. in vain, this is a small object, please accept it!"

Geng Baochang handed over a blue and white pen holder, Su Yuan took it curiously, and said in surprise after reading it: "This is the official kiln of the blank period?"

"I didn't expect that Mr. has a deep knowledge of porcelain!" Geng Baochang explained with a smile: "It's a pity that I donated all my collections to the museum a few years ago, and there is nothing left in my hand that can be taken out." Although the value is not precious, it also represents a piece of history and has commemorative value. ”

Su Yuan stood up and excused himself: "Geng Lao is polite, the pen holder is too precious, and the younger generation does not dare to ...... it."

"Sir, please don't shirk!" Geng Baochang said with a straight face: "People live to our age, what else can't be seen through? ”

Ling Junsheng saw that Su Yuan still wanted to excuse himself, and interjected: "The elder gift, you can't give up, accept it!"

Su Yuan could only accept it, thanks to Geng Lao's gift, the so-called blank period, also known as the dark period, in the history of Jingdezhen porcelain, the three generations of orthodoxy, Jingtai, and Tianshun, that is, the period from 1436 to 1464. Because no porcelain with the year of the official kiln in the Three Dynasties period has been found, the porcelain seen is all produced by the private kiln, so it is called the blank period of the official kiln.

In the third year of Orthodoxy, it was forbidden for private kilns to make blue and white porcelain of the same style as official kilns, and in the twelfth year of orthodoxy, there was a ban on private kilns to make yellow, purple, red, green, blue, blue, and white blue and white porcelain.

In the first year of Tianshun, a lieutenant official was sent to Jingdezhen to supervise the burning of porcelain, and in the third year of Tianshun, there was an order to reduce the original 133,000 pieces of porcelain by 80,000 yuan.

In fact, the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty all had official kiln productions, the main reason was that the imperial family had repeated conflicts due to the imperial throne, so the porcelain produced by the official kiln in Jingdezhen was inconvenient to write the year at this time, so the porcelain of the three dynasties was often assigned to the Xuande or Chenghua Dynasty in various museums or private collections.

Until the Jingdezhen Ceramics Research Institute found a batch of Ming Dynasty orthodox official kiln porcelain, and can be seen with Xuande, Chenghua different style. After all, there is not much information about the porcelain in the blank period, and the main feature is that the cloud pattern is quite heavy, the theme pattern is often covered with cloud pattern, and the blue and white are relatively gray.

More than ten years ago, the auction record, the Ming orthodox blue and white entangled branch treasure flower lotus petal pattern jar, sold for 1.058 million yuan. Ming orthodox blue and white entwined branch lotus travertine peony petal pattern double animal ear handicap jar, the transaction price is 2.3 million yuan.

Geng Baochang sighed: "This is my last year on the way to travel unintentionally to find a Ming Dynasty blank period porcelain, things should be orthodox eight years, the overall shape of the five peaks connected to the mountain cluster type, hollow, on one side of the mountain peak and the back of the pen holder each have a round hole, can be filled with water for water bowls. Behind the main peak of the pen holder, there is an orthodox year-old model. The glaze of the pen holder is thick, and the white is yellowish. ”

After running for a day today, the two old men were already tired, so they said goodbye and left Geng's hometown, and the two returned to their residence, Su Yuan just wanted to rest, and suddenly received a call from Ling Tiancheng again, asking him to meet.

"This is Huang Xuanlong, the master of the Jiansong Pavilion, the first person in the scholar's collection!"

Su Yuan looked curiously at the old man in front of him, who was not amazing, in his early fifties, with kind eyebrows, he was the famous Lord of the Jiansong Pavilion?

Ling Tiancheng pulled Su Yuan and introduced, "This is Mr. Wen, Master of Incense, the treasure that Brother Xuanlong has taken a fancy to is his collection. ”

Huang Xuanlong took the initiative to stretch out his hand and greeted warmly: "It's really a hero from ancient times, Mr. Wen is actually a master of incense?

Su Yuan said a few polite words, everyone sat down again, Huang Xuanlong happened to see the pen holder, and when he asked if it was actually a gift from Geng Baochang, he was shocked, and spoke more highly of Su Yuan.

"Sure enough, it is a blank period of official kiln pen holders, this kind of treasure is only willing to give away by Old Man Geng, envy and envy!"

Ling Tiancheng looked at Huang Xuanlong's obsessive expression, and secretly laughed, today the other party came directly to find him, I don't know where I heard that Tiancheng had the Qianlong Imperial Study Room Eight-piece Set in his hand, as well as Ji Xiaolan's Ninety-Nine Fang Zhai inkstone, which was definitely a fatal attraction for Huang Xuanlong, who had pursued the Four Treasures of the Study all his life.

Today, it happened that Su Yuan got another pen holder, which was given by the porcelain master Geng Baochang himself, which was incredible to Huang Xuanlong.

Jiansong Pavilion, in fact, is a plaque inscribed by the famous calligrapher Yi Bingshou at the end of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which made it famous but completely benefited from a special auction of the study room in the spring auction of Jiade in 2006, which was also the first special auction of the study room in China.

The owner of Jiansong Pavilion is the treasure island collector Huang Xuanlong, more than 30 years obsessed with the collection of stationery supplies, costing hundreds of millions, according to the joke, since the beginning of the collection, there is no longer a deposit at home, as soon as there is cash to buy good things back, if you want to take stock of his assets, you have to put a piece of pen holder inkstone out.

Ling Tiancheng looked at Huang Xuanlong and said with a smile: "Back then, I remember that a purple clay pot only eight centimeters high was auctioned at a sky-high price, 12.32 million yuan, which was the first purple clay pot in China to be sold at a price of 10 million yuan. How much did you get at that time? 350,000?"

"Less than 300,000!" Huang Xuanlong smiled and said: "At that time, I just arrived in Shanghai, I was only a 24-year-old hairy young man, I love purple sand and bamboo carving, Shanghai is very close to Yixing and Jiading, which is rich in bamboo carving, and it is also an important collection base in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. ”

"I took the pastries to Mrs. Gong for afternoon tea when I was fine, maybe we were destined, and the old man was also very kind to me, not only willing to impart the knowledge of collecting, but also regarded me as a family. ”
