"If you're interested, you can also participate in the auction."

At the same time, Chang Lao said with a smile: "Just two days later, there is no restriction on the Kyoto Hotel, anyone can come." The reason why he sent an invitation to Ling Xi was just to be more solemn. ”

"Chang Lao, you don't need to explain." Yu Feibai said casually: "Let's put it bluntly, in fact, we are inconsequential little characters, and we must not be compared with a big Buddha like Qian Lao." ”

"That's right, I didn't expect you to buy anything." Chang Lao nodded and said, "But there are a lot of good things at the auction, so it's good for you to go and have a good time." ”

Yu Feibai pursed his lips, he knew Chang Lao's personality a little, and he didn't care, but sounded: "Chang Lao, what is the highlight of this year's Rongbao auction?" ”

"It's about the same as in previous years."

Chang Lao listed: "The famous works of Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Wu Changyan, and Li Keran must be indispensable, and the porcelain is the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties...... It's completely cookie-cutter. ”

"There is no way, these things are the most popular in the market, so naturally they have to cater to the market."

Chang Lao shook his head and continued: "However, it is not without new ideas, such as explaining the Qing official kiln, this year's focus is on the porcelain of the late Qing official kiln. As the saying goes, Xuantong and Xianfeng are better than Qianlong, and the official kilns of these two dynasties are comparable to Qianlong's fine products because of their scarce number and exquisite production. However, the price is not very high, and there is a certain room for appreciation, which is a good investment object. ”

"Brother Chang, are you selling business?"

At this time, Qian Lao chuckled and said, "It's too conscientious." ”

"It's a bit of an impact." Chang Lao smiled: "If you are not careful, you will also become a philistine." ”

"Drink tea, drink tea ......"

Between words, Chang Lao was also a little embarrassed. Because the so-called appreciation space is actually the result of the deliberate guidance of major auction companies. It is not clear to the layman. Of course, you can just fool around. But when it comes to it in front of Qian Lao, it is not appropriate.

After raising a glass and taking a sip of tea, Chang Lao changed the topic and said, "By the way, you just said that you brought back some treasures, can you show me too." ”

Wang Guan hesitated slightly, took out the porcelain pillow in his backpack, rested it next to the coffee table and said with a smile: "It's this thing, although it is a little disabled, but it is relatively rare." ”

"Oh, the porcelain pillow of Cizhou kiln." Chang Lao glanced at it. I touched it again, weighed it a little, and nodded, "It's the real thing, it's okay." ”

After that, he was not interested. Think about it, as the offering of Rong Bao Zhai, Chang Lao must have appreciated all kinds of precious antique calligraphy and paintings during this time, and he naturally will not pay attention to this broken porcelain pillow.

After a while, Chang Lao drank a cup of tea. He took his leave. Qian Lao sent him away, and then returned to the hall and said with a smile: "Wang Guan, when people are gone, don't hide it." Let's take out the treasure that Feibai said. ”

Obviously, Qian Lao knew Yu Feibai very well, and when he heard his excitement, he knew the so-called baby. It's definitely not the cracked porcelain pillow in front of you.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it from you." Wang Guan laughed and put the copper box on the table.

"I know I can't hide it. Why hide it? Qian Lao said casually, stretched out his hand to take the copper box, only to find that the weight was not light, and it felt a little pressing.

"It's not to hide it from you, but to hide it from Chang Lao." Wang Guan said bluntly: "Mrs. Chang is dutiful, whenever she sees something good, she always wants to persuade people to take it to Rongbao for auction." ”

"You, you remember the last bird food can, so you generalize." Qian Lao said with a smile: "During that time, he was collecting lots, and it will definitely be like this, and now that the lots have been decided, he will definitely not care about your things." ”

"Not necessarily." Yu Feibai smiled beside him: "When I saw the things inside, maybe Chang Lao rushed to ask for it." ”

"Yes." Qian Lao smiled, but he was not in a hurry to open the copper box, but carefully studied the decoration of the box for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Well, it can indeed be seen that the contents must be very valuable." ”

"Old Qian, we can't say it's a treasure, you also say it's precious." Yu Feibai asked curiously: "Is there any basis for you to say this?" ”

"There must be a basis for it."

Qian Lao chuckled: "It can be seen from this box. The ancients had a thing of buying and returning pearls, which shows that the box is very important. In ancient times, it was more important to use what box to hold what things. This copper box has dragon patterns circling on it, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. In addition, judging from the pomegranate fruit pattern on the side of the box, it should be something from the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Old Qian, you are suspected of cheating."

Yu Feibai smiled and said, "If we don't say that there is a treasure in it, can you think about it in such detail?" ”

"Well...... Qian Lao thought about it and smiled frankly: "It's really hard to say, so if there is a next time, don't be in a hurry to leak the secret of heaven, let me judge for myself." ”

In the midst of chuckling, Qian Lao opened the copper box with his hand, and the first thing he saw was naturally a layer of silk scarf wrapped in things.

"Old Qian, then don't be in a hurry." At this time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "You just touch the outline first and see if you can guess what this thing is." ”

However, Qian Lao didn't make a move, just glanced at it, and chuckled: "Is it an inkstone!" ”

When Wang Guan and the others heard this, they were stunned for a while, and they looked at each other.

"Not really."

Yu Feibai looked at Wang Guan, and then looked at Pi Qiushi, with a look of suspicion: "When did you say that?" ”

"It's not us." Wang Guan naturally argued: "We are right next to you, and you will definitely be able to hear it." ”

"Lip Talk!" Yu Feibai was still skeptical.

"Don't guess." Qian Lao smiled: "I saw it." ”

"Old Qian, you are amazing." Yu Feibai took a deep breath, gave a thumbs up and said, "The eyes can actually see through." ”

"Nonsense."

Qian Lao scolded with a smile, and then reminded: "Pay attention to see if there is a dragon pattern on the lid of the box." ”

"Yes."

Yu Feibai nodded hurriedly, and directly picked up the lid of the box and looked at it again, but found no clues. Because the dragon pattern was looming, most of it was obscured by green rust, and if he couldn't see the scales, he wouldn't be sure that the pattern was a dragon pattern.

"Although the dragon pattern is not obvious, from the analysis of the direction and the distribution of rust spots, the pattern on the cover should be the dragon and the sea pattern." Qian Lao Zhizhu is holding the road.

"So what?" Yu Feibai and Wang Guan asked for advice very seriously.

"Under normal circumstances, the appearance of the dragon and the sea pattern does not mean anything."

Qian Lao chuckled: "But I know that for a period of time in the Tang Dynasty, I liked to associate the study utensils with this pattern. And seeing the general appearance of the things wrapped inside, it can't be pen and ink, or other study utensils, so I can only guess in the direction of the inkstone. Isn't it normal for the inkstone to rest in the inkstone? ”

"I'm convinced."

Yu Feibai sighed sincerely: "Old Qian, when will we have the ability to see the subtleties like you." ”

"Read more, watch more, and keep it in mind. Don't always think about taking a shortcut to the end of the country and ascending to the sky in one step. Stick with it, ponder it for ten or twenty years, and you can do it. Qian Lao smiled and said: "Don't think it's a clichΓ©, you must know that this knowledge is the work of water milling, and accumulation is the key." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded slightly, indicating that he had been taught. The more simple the truth, the better the words.

"So, I didn't guess wrong, it's really an inkstone." At the same time, Qian Lao smiled and said: "What can make you call a treasure, is it the red silk inkstone among the four famous inkstones of the Tang and Song dynasties?" ”

Since ancient times, there have been four famous inkstones in China, and now the four famous inkstones that everyone evaluates are Duan inkstone, She inkstone, Taohe inkstone, and Chengni inkstone. It is worth mentioning that the first three inkstones of the four famous inkstones are stone inkstones, while the Chengni inkstones are mud inkstones, inkstones fired with mud.

In fact, there were four famous inkstones in the Tang and Song dynasties, but they are slightly different from the current four famous inkstones. Originally, there was no Chengni inkstone among the four famous inkstones, but a red silk inkstone produced in Qingzhou.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the red silk inkstone enjoyed a prestigious reputation and was regarded as the first of all inkstones. In the minds of the world, Qingzhou red silk stone is the first, Duanzhou axe Keshan stone is the second, Shezhou dragon tail stone is the third, and the rest are in the middle and lower.

It is a pity that after the Song Dynasty, the raw materials of red silk stone dried up and gradually disappeared. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, the Chengni inkstone sprung up, and the technology of burning the inkstone reached the peak of its peak, and slowly replaced the status of the red silk inkstone and became one of the four famous inkstones.

"Old Qian, do you guess accurately, let's not talk about it for the time being."

At the right time, Yu Feibai blinked, and said with a little curiosity: "Since it is one of the four famous inkstones, why don't you mention the other three, you have to guess that it is a red silk inkstone?" ”

"Because the silk cloth is red." Qian Lao said as a matter of course.

Hearing this, the others laughed lightly, and their hearts were also a little relieved. Qian Lao is a human being after all, and without any prompting, he can expect this step, it is a very "god" thing, and he can't ask for more.

"Old Qian, in fact, your guess is somewhat reliable."

At this time, Yu Feibai pulled the silk cloth apart and said with a smile: "The famous inkstone must be a famous inkstone, and it is also related to the four famous inkstones." But it's not related to the red silk inkstone, but the ancestor of the Chengni inkstone......"

"Tile inkstone!"

At this time, Yu Feibai also ripped off a layer of silk cloth, the outline of the thing was already very obvious, and Qian Lao's eyes were very vicious, naturally in a word.

"That's right, it's a tile inkstone."

Yu Feibai said a little proudly: "And it's not an ordinary tile inkstone, but a Tongquetai tile inkstone." ”

"Did you run to Yecheng?" Qian Lao said a little suddenly: "That's right, you said that you want to go to Handan, since you brought back the porcelain pillow from the Cizhou kiln, then it is normal to go to Guye City for a walk." ”

"We're going to Linzhang in Handan." Yu Feibai explained, and then said with a smile: "Old Qian, look at this thing, we think it's genuine, and we want to hear your opinion." ”

"Tongque tile inkstone, that is a treasure of the inkstone, it is indeed necessary to appreciate it carefully......" (To be continued.) )
