The word Hezhong comes from an ancient legend, the official of the West. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There's an allusion here.

Legend has it that in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, when Yao was the emperor, He Zhong was ordered by Yao to live in the west to observe the sunset, persuade farming, and determine the time of the autumn equinox.

But that time was too far away, and there should have been no such thing as a pen holder at that time.

And even if there is, it is estimated that no one has such a production level, and it is impossible to pass it down to the present.

It is impossible to determine the date when the pen holder first appeared, but according to historical records, during the Three Kingdoms period, there are some records similar to pen holders.

Since Hezhong is not a name, it may be a word.

In ancient times, people had names in addition to their names. Especially for those celebrities, the trade name is often known to the general public.

In Chu Ning's memory, there is only one person's word, which is Hezhong.

It is the famous Su Shi, Su Dongpo.

Su Shi, also known as Zizhan, also known as Hezhong, was a famous writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty.

There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings handed down by Su Shi, and each piece is a fine product, with a very high value, and very few are on the market, and ordinary people have no ability to collect Su Shi's works.

However, Chu Ning's grandfather collected many fine antiques back then, one of which was from Su Shi, and now it has been passed on to Chu Ning's father and collected in his study.

Speaking of which, Chu Ning's father has a lot of genuine items in his collection, and once he thinks about it, Chu Ning really wants to find a chance to go back and have a look.

But for now, let's think about this tube first.

Chu Ning is ninety percent sure that this tube should be Su Shi's game when he was young.

Although the material of the pen holder itself is not valuable, just because it is from Su Shi's hand, its value has risen sharply.

Moreover, Su Shi has a lot of calligraphy and painting works handed down, and gadgets like this are rare and more collectible, which is very suitable for people like her who are new to the antique street.

Chu Ning made up her mind in her heart and asked the young stall owner, "Boss, how do you sell this tube?" ”

The young stall owner is also new to the antique industry, and the things on the stall are also collected by his scholars in the countryside, and he has not been doing business seriously for a few days.

Seeing Chu Ning asking the price, the young stall owner was embarrassed at first: "This tube ...... It's not expensive, it's only 1,800 yuan. ”

Chu Ning: "......"

I didn't see that this young stall owner looked honest, but he had a lot of courage to raise the price.

Although Chu Ning can be sure that this cylinder is Su Shi's handiwork, others don't know! And there is too much dirt on the surface of this tube, and the appearance is not good, much worse than modern handicrafts.

Even if it appears on the street stalls in the antique street, the price can be increased tenfold.

The young stall owner still needs to pay 1,080.

Chu Ning was originally accustomed to the style of asking for prices in the antique street, but she didn't expect that this young stall owner, who looked like a shy young man, would also ask for such a price, so she was a little surprised for a while.

Once she reacted, Chu Ning began to bargain with others.

"Boss, this tube is so old, it's still made of bamboo, where is it worth so much money?" Chu Ning frowned and said, "I'm just a poor student, even if I like this tube again, I can't come up with so much money to buy it, it's worth my living expenses for three months!" ”

The young stall was already very weak in his heart when he asked for one thousand eighteen, but when he heard Chu Ning say this, he suddenly became even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Then eight hundred, it can't be less!" ”

Chu Ning smiled happily.

This boss is too bad at doing business, and it dropped by a thousand in one breath, which is more than half of the original price. If you meet a customer who is a bargaining customer, maybe the boss can give away the things from his stall for nothing.

"Boss, you can't bully me for not knowing how to read!" Chu Ning's brows furrowed even tighter, "Just this tube, I think eighty is too much!" ”

The young stall owner blushed and was speechless.

When he received the goods in the countryside, a family insisted on giving him ten yuan. He consulted his cousin who did this business, and the objects on the stall were sold at a very high price, but at what price they were sold, it depended on the mood of the bosses, anyway, as long as they didn't lose money, how much they could earn depended on their own skills.

The price of eighty yuan, for him, is naturally earned.

But his previous offer was so high, if the negotiated price was only eighty, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Chu Ning saw the embarrassment of the young stall owner, her heart moved, and she said softly: "Boss, it's just eighty yuan!" I really like it, so sell it to me! ”

The young stall owner couldn't resist Chu Ning's posture at all, and finally said with a red face and helplessness: "That, that's okay, eighty, eighty ......."

Chu Ning was overjoyed in her heart, and was about to pay for it, but a familiar voice came from behind her: "Chu Ning? Why are you here? What a coincidence! By the way, are you buying something? ”

Chu Ning paused for money, turned around slowly, and sure enough, he saw Gao Zhen standing behind her without knowing something, looking at her with a concerned face.

And by Gao Zhen's side, there are also Chen Jian, Zhu Mandong and a group of members of the art appreciation club of Hanzhou University.

Chu Ning remembered that Zhu Mandong said in the dormitory that their club had activities today, and it turned out that they collectively went to the antique street to do practical activities?

In their previous lives, after they joined the art appreciation club, it seems that they also had such activities. Originally, Gao Zhen was going to bring her with her at that time, but Zhu Bingting saw Gao Zhen's closeness to her, so she made an obstacle from it, saying that they, the new members of the club, were not qualified to participate in such large-scale club activities, so that she and Zhu Mandong did not come at that time.

Zhu Mandong was also looking at Chu Ning with complicated eyes at this time.

She didn't expect to bump into Chu Ning here.

She was still angry with Chu Ning, and she didn't want to ignore Chu Ning so early. But now that the two are meeting here, and there are so many outsiders, it doesn't seem appropriate for her not to say hello, and she is in a dilemma for a while.

Fortunately, Gao Zhen came forward, and Zhu Mandong just found an excuse to shrink back.

Chu Ning glanced at Gao Zhen and did not talk, but continued to take the wallet.

Gao Zhenden was a little annoyed and angry.

He took the initiative to talk, but this Chu Ning is still so ignorant!

I didn't let her join the art appreciation club before, and she hasn't been taught a lesson yet!

"Chu Ning, you are not a student majoring in identification, you are shopping in the antique street, be careful of being deceived." Gao Zhen's face twitched, and he said incorrectly, "Are you buying a pen holder?" It's just an ordinary bamboo thing, and the wholesale market next door is full of better things than this, and it costs less than eighty yuan to buy a big bag, so you'd better think about it again! ”
