Among the four treasures of the study, paper is the least valued, but it is the most important, because without paper, no matter how good your calligraphy is, no matter how high your skills are, the work will not be handed down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In these years, as long as there is a little bit of culture, everything is fake, and rice paper is no exception.

Calligraphy and painting paper is just an ordinary paper with the characteristics of moistening ink, with a very short service life, and now the well-preserved art treasures of calligraphy and painting in the past dynasties, ancient books, documents, and printing spectrum can go through thousands of years without decay, which is the characteristics of rice paper "paper longevity for thousands of years", the best proof that there is a world of difference between the two.

The best rice paper, until now still maintains the bamboo curtain filter copying method for fishing paper, with the fire wall baking, manual uncovering and pasting of the drying paper, inspection one by one visual inspection, its production process and price, are not the kind of mass-produced calligraphy and painting paper can be compared.

Although the ancients were picky about the use of rice paper, they did not understand the production process of rice paper, but several modern calligraphers and painters have passed down such a beautiful talk.

Liu Haisu, Yin Shoushi, Wu Zuoren, Li Keran and a large number of calligraphy and painting masters, in their lifetimes, regardless of their old age and frailty, the long distance, made a special trip to the manufacturer of rice paper, to visit and understand the production process of rice paper.

Liu Haisu once said with emotion: We have used rice paper for a lifetime, but we don't know how rice paper is made, so we must come to see it in our lifetime, one is to wish for it, and the other is to express our gratitude to the rice paper workers.

The inscriptions and paintings used to express gratitude to the rice paper, which was passed down as a good story in the calligraphy and painting circles, and since then, people have paid more and more attention to the use of rice paper.

Boss Zhao picked five knives of good rice paper from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province for Zhuang Rui, this kind of paper has a white appearance, according to Boss Zhao, it can be cut at will, with strong ink wetting, and it will not be deformed when wet.

Zhuang Rui touched it, and felt that it was soft and tough to start, and it was difficult to tear it apart when it was small, so he nodded and acquiesced to the price of this six-foot rice paper as high as 1,000 RMB.

"Boss Zhao, I'll pick a piece of this ink myself......"

Just as Boss Zhao was selecting the ink block for Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui suddenly spoke, because he found that on the shelf where the ink was placed, there was actually a piece of ink, which actually contained aura, obviously this ink was also a bit old, Zhuang Rui walked over and took the oval ink block in his hand.

After Boss Zhao saw the ink selected by Zhuang Rui, his face showed a slightly surprised look, and said: "Little brother is not a layman, this piece of pine smoke ink is a little old, and I received it from the old brother a few years ago......."

"The shopkeeper's clansman?"

Zhuang Rui thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing, this literati is beating around the bush when he speaks, if you just say that you bought it from the flag man, it will be over.

"That's right, that brother, the person who sold me this pine smoke ink was your master back then......"

"Phew, Ye is now his own master. The shopkeeper smiled and took a sip of Boss Zhao.

The two seem to have a good relationship, Boss Zhao said with a smile: "Don't smack me, that's Prince Gong's descendant, this piece of pine smoke ink is also preserved in the inventory of Prince Gong's mansion, this is a cigarette made from the right pine of Zhongnan Mountain, and now there is not much ink for this practice." ”

Zhuang Rui nodded, casually handed the piece of pine smoke ink to Boss Zhao, and said, "Okay, I want this piece of ink, Boss Zhao, you can calculate how much money you have, I want these things." ”

"Do you want that Yishui ancient inkstone?"

Boss Zhao asked, when he introduced the inkstone before, Zhuang Rui's attitude was noncommittal, but he didn't expect that this young man who was not amazing was still a rich man.

"Yes, you can do it. ”

"The inkstone is 120,000 yuan, the five knives on the good water-patterned rice paper are 5,000 yuan, the ivory wolf pen is 12,000, the Zhongnan pine smoke and ink is 9,000, little brother, a total of 146,000 yuan, I erased the fraction for you, 145,000, what do you think?"

Boss Zhao took a computer, calculated it while reporting the price, and after calculating, looked up at Zhuang Rui.

"Cheng, at the price that Boss Zhao said, you can swipe the card, right?"

Zhuang Rui has no objection to this price, he didn't have the intention of picking up these things when he bought them, although there are many dusty objects in the pearl, but for these people who open shops, they have already eaten the objects in their hands, and the chance of being able to pick up leaks in the antique store is very small.

However, after the shopkeeper heard Zhuang Rui's simple reply, he felt a little lost, he introduced Zhuang Rui to this Shuyazhai, on the one hand, it was to pull business for old friends, and the other purpose was because the four treasures of the study sold here were slightly more expensive than those sold in other stores, and the shopkeeper was still thinking that when Zhuang Rui couldn't afford it, would he consider selling the Longshan black pottery, but this plan was obviously in vain.

After buying this set of four treasures of the study, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhuang Rui didn't have the heart to continue shopping, because Miao Feifei Ming'er had to go to work, Zhuang Rui sent her home, called the old man himself, and drove straight to the courtyard where the old man lived.

Parking the car outside the alley, Zhuang Rui walked towards the old man's house with the set of study utensils, and the old man said on the phone just now that he would come to the house for dinner.

"You kid, didn't I tell you last time, don't buy anything, I don't lack anything, old man. ”

Zhuang Rui came into the yard and found that the originally clean place had become lively, several children were chasing and playing, Gu was sitting under the tree, playing Go with a man in his thirties, and when he saw the things Zhuang Rui was carrying, his face was a little unswerving.

Zhuang Rui smiled and put the box in his hand next to the chessboard, and said, "Uncle Shi, look at what you want to say, who is this big brother?"

"Hello, my name is Gu Yun, you are the Zhuang Rui that my father often mentions, right?"

The man stood up and shook Zhuang Rui's hand, taking the opportunity to mess up the chessboard.

"You stinky boy, if you want to lose, you will come to this trick again...... Gu Gu scolded his son with a smile, and opened the things Zhuang Rui bought.

"Huh, Xiaozhuang, you have a good eye, you can actually buy this good object?"

The old man was attracted by the Yishui ancient inkstone at a glance, and he didn't care about what he said just now, so he took it in his hand and played with it.

Gu Yun also reached out and took out the wolf pen, pinched the piece of pine smoke ink with his hand, and said to Zhuang Rui with a smile: "Brother Zhuang, you really know how to give things, my father, I love this mouthful, but the price of this set of four treasures in the study is not low, right?"

Without waiting for Zhuang Rui to reply, the old man said: "Well, this set of things is worth more than 100,000 yuan, but Xiaozhuang is a big money, and I will accept it old man, well, Xiaozhuang, you sit first, this thing must be put away, otherwise it will be a pity to be broken by these few small things......"

While talking, Gu put the Yi Shui inkstone in his hand back into the box, and then hurriedly walked to the house with the box, Zhuang Rui, who saw it, smiled dumbly, this is what he likes, and the effect is really good.

"Brother Gu, do you know anything about this thing?"

Zhuang Rui sat down and chatted casually with Gu Yun, it was not strange that the old man could see that this thing was valuable, but Gu Yun could also see it at a glance, and he must also be a player.

"I'm playing blindly, and I'm still learning from my old man......

"What have you learned from me? Stinky boy, if you don't do it as a good college lecturer, you have to be a foreman, something that doesn't make a profit!"

Before Gu Yun finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man Gu who came out of the house, with a look of hatred on his face.

"Dad, haven't you heard, this professor has gone to sell tea eggs, our little lecturer, naturally we have to follow the trend of the times and go to the sea to flutter......"

Gu Yun is not angry, he is poor with his father, Beijing people are used to this, don't talk about anything else, the verbal kung fu is absolutely first-class, when Zhuang Rui came for the first time, he was almost stunned by the taxi driver.

"Brother Gu, what are you doing now?"

Zhuang Rui saw that the old man was going to say a few words, and hurriedly diverted the words, he was also a little curious, a few years ago, he often heard that university teachers went to the sea to do business, but he didn't expect to sit in front of him.

Gu Yun glanced at his father's face, he didn't seem to be really angry, and said with a smile: "Hehe, do some small business, my former mentor is an expert in ancient architecture in China, and there are often some ancient buildings that need to be repaired, and there is no such professional construction team in China, so I came out to set up a company to undertake the repair ......of ancient buildings."

"What?!Brother Gu, what are you doing here?"

Zhuang Rui heard it, this is really a coincidence, he is looking for such a company, this is really a nowhere to find iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

"What's the matter, let's also eat based on our ability, and we won't be ashamed!" Gu Yun thought that Zhuang Rui, like his old man, looked down on his work, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

Zhuang Rui waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, Brother Gu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that, I mean it's a coincidence, I just bought a set of courtyard houses a few days ago, but it's a little dilapidated, and many places need to be renovated, and I'm worried about not finding a suitable company......"

"Oh, this courtyard house is inhabited all year round, and some places are more troublesome to repair, so let's take a look at it first." After Gu Yun heard Zhuang Rui's words, his face softened.

"Cheng, I wonder if Brother Gu has time tomorrow?"

Zhuang Rui wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the house he bought for sixty or seventy million yuan would not be able to be left there as an ornament?
