"Brother, you're kidding, I know how much your antique is worth." The driver said in disbelief.

"Hehe, master, no kidding, the antique knowledge you just talked about shows that you are a senior antique lover, you open it and take a look, you will know how much it is worth, it is worth the fare, it is still no problem." Fang You said with a smile.

The driver looked at Fang You suspiciously, then got out of the car, opened the trunk, opened the packed porcelain wooden box, and suddenly the delicate vase appeared in front of him.

"Brother, this porcelain is very exquisite, it seems to be an old object, is this the antique you just found, you give it to me as a fare, don't you want it, this is much more expensive than the fare." The driver looked at the porcelain, and at his half-baked level, although he could not tell that it was a new or old object, he could also see that its value far exceeded the fare.

This year, even if you buy a porcelain vase for ornamental production line, it will cost hundreds of yuan, this is nearly a hundred yuan of fare, and getting such a bottle is simply a lot of money, he couldn't help but look at Fang You with some suspicion.

"Yes, master, this porcelain will be sent to you for the fare, I still have a lot at home, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, goodbye, master." Fang You said a few words to the driver, and when he saw Wang Lao calling, he immediately said goodbye to the driver and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the Palace Museum.

This imitation porcelain bought for 10,000 yuan, he still can't look at it, even if he doesn't give it to the driver, he will throw it away directly, this porcelain is just an accessory, and his real gain is the inkstone that those people look down on.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get this inkstone, he wouldn't have asked for that piece of porcelain for a hundred yuan.

Touching the inkstone in his arms, Fang You showed a satisfied smile on his face, seeing that what Brother Li said did not look like it was fake, this may really be an heirloom left by his grandfather, and the layer of mud that wrapped the inkstone on it was probably also made by his grandfather, but he didn't tell this Brother Li the truth, he just said that he should keep it well.

Maybe he was afraid that his grandson would sell this inkstone after learning the truth, after all, with the reputation of this inkstone, it can definitely be auctioned for a sky-high price.

Fang You ran towards the gate of the museum, and at the same time received a call from Wang Lao, and learned that Wang Lao had arrived at the gate of the museum, his speed was a little faster, and he couldn't let an old man wait for him too long.

When he arrived at the gate of the majestic city wall of the Forbidden City, the first thing Fang You saw was the elder Wang standing outside the door, basking in the sun, waiting for him.

Elder Wang's face was still so majestic, but Fang You knew that under his judge-like appearance, there was a kind heart hidden.

Fang You quickened his pace and soon came to the door, "Elder Wang, the kid really can't afford you to pick me up at the door in person." ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, you kid, didn't you say let me see the antiques I just bought, now I'm empty-handed, don't you bring the antiques." Wang Lao smiled, then looked at Fang You's empty-handed appearance, and said with some doubts.

Fang You suddenly smiled, "Elder Wang, who told you that the antique I found must be a big one, a small antique, and now it is in my arms." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and go in and let me see." As soon as he heard Fang You's words, Wang Lao suddenly couldn't wait to pull Fang You directly into the museum from the special passage for the staff, and then came to a palace where the museum staff worked.

Came to a room in the palace, Wang Lao asked Fang You to sit on the sofa, then poured a cup of tea, and waited for Fang You to take out the antiques to take a look.

Fang You smiled, "Elder Wang, now this antique can't be seen on the surface, but there must be a mystery in it, which needs you to come and take a look." ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, if you kid didn't see anything, you wouldn't come to me like this, take it out quickly." Wang Lao said unceremoniously, now the most important thing in his heart is antiques, and Fang You, the owner of antiques, has become secondary.

Fang You smiled and took out the inkstone in his arms, this inkstone still needs to rely on the old man in front of him to reappear in the day, "Elder Wang, this is this thing." ”

"The inkstone, it looks so rough, and the shape is strange, if someone else brought it, I would just let him get out, now that you kid brought it, there must be a mystery in it, I'll take a good look." Seeing Fang You take out an inkstone from his arms, Wang Lao said with some surprise.

The shape of this inkstone is very regular, there are no modern inkstones of various shapes, the inkstone is about nine inches long, about seven inches wide, and there is no pattern on the inkstone to decorate.

And this inkstone looks bigger than the ordinary inkstone, and with that rough appearance, it is even worse than the stalls.

Wang Lao was not confused by these appearances, and carefully observed this inkstone, Fang You's attainments and eyesight in antiques are very strong, which has been proved by countless facts, and he feels that this inkstone must have some mystery.

He held the magnifying glass, little by little, and when he saw an inconspicuous corner, his pupils shrank sharply, and then wiped the magnifying glass, and observed it carefully in this position.

"Fang Xiaoyou, it must be this fall mark that made you discover something." Wang Lao looked at it carefully for a while, and then the other party said.

Fang You nodded and smiled, "Elder Wang, if it's just a fall mark, it may be nothing, but the color and pulp of the inkstone under this fall mark are obviously different from the surface of the inkstone. ”

"That's true, that little friend thinks that there must be another inkstone hidden underneath." Wang Lao said with a smile.

"Wang Lao, with your old man's rich experience, you must see more than me, according to my observation, the inkstone pulp under the fall marks is not the second generation of the Ming and Qing dynasties, like the craftsmanship of the Song and Yuan dynasties." Fang You smiled slightly, he could understand Wang Lao's calm look, as an antique master of the Palace Museum, Wang Lao had seen countless precious antiques, such an inkstone that might hide old objects was really nothing.

Only, Fang You is very much looking forward to what kind of expression will be on Wang Lao's face when the true face of this inkstone appears, and the fame of this inkstone can even be compared to some national treasures.

"Fang Xiaoyou's profound knowledge and eyesight can actually see the age of the inkstone through these little pulp." Elder Wang said with some surprise, Fang You's eyesight was still far beyond his expectations, and he could see the age through this surface, and he couldn't do it without more than decades of experience in the antique shop.

Fang You shook his head and smiled, "Elder Wang, don't praise me anymore, the most important thing now is to let this inkstone see the light of day again, I don't know what this hidden inkstone looks like." ”

"Okay, Fang Xiaoyou, since that's the case, then I'll take a tool and start removing the mud layer from the skin of this inkstone, and see what the hidden inkstone looks like underneath." Wang Lao smiled, and did not feel so excited because there was another inkstone hidden underneath.

Of course, if Fang You brought over the magical Venus Dragon Inkstone, then it would be a different matter, many of the antiques that Fang You found, he heard of his name, but did not see his face, last time he wanted to take advantage of Fang You's apprenticeship, but Chu Lao said that he didn't bring Tianhai and put it in Wuyang, which made him depressed at that time.

An inkstone, if there is an inscription of an ancient celebrity, then the value of the inkstone will increase infinitely, just like Fang You's Venus Dragon inkstone, then there is no magical effect, this is Mi Fu used inkstone, it is enough to become a priceless treasure.

After speaking, Wang Lao went to the inner room and brought some tools, with professional antique restoration tools, which can prevent the hidden inkstone from being damaged when it is taken out.

After getting ready, Wang Lao put on white gloves, starting from the little scar, and began to slowly peel off the mud layer hidden on the surface of the inkstone, which was in a position on the back, so he began to remove the mud layer on the surface from the back.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lao peeled off the mud layer while explaining to Fang You the purpose and use of some tools.

In order to prevent the mud layer from clinging to the inkstone too tightly and causing the inkstone to be damaged when peeling off, Wang Lao also used a special chemical agent, which can only decompose the stickiness of the soil without hurting the inkstone itself.

Seeing Wang Lao's dual-purpose state, Fang You felt a little painful, this inkstone could not afford to make a mistake, he felt that if the true face of this inkstone appeared, Wang Lao would definitely regret his previous carelessness.

Slowly, a thick layer of mud on the back was removed, and the surface of the inkstone hidden below was gradually revealed.

The back of the black inkstone, there is nothing surprising, the inkstone is divided into mud inkstone and stone inkstone, this inkstone is made of stone, and the skin is hidden with a mud layer, which is another reason why Fang You was strange at that time, and it is also the reason why Wang Lao used this chemical agent, although the soil and stone are both soil substances, but their molecular structures are somewhat different.

At this moment, seeing that Elder Wang had peeled off a little more of the epidermis, and a handwriting was revealed underneath, Fang You hurriedly said, "Elder Wang, there are words appearing." ”

The handwriting on the inkstone is something that can represent the value of the inkstone, especially the ancient inkstone, Wang Lao also saw the handwriting at this time, his face showed a dignified look, and the movements of his hands became softer.

This word only revealed a stroke, and its true appearance could not be seen at all, Wang Lao slowly peeled off the surrounding mud layer, and the first complete word was suddenly revealed.

The fall marks of this inkstone are on the left, so Wang Lao follows the fall marks from left to right to prepare for the inkstone to be revealed little by little, and the first word on the left side is the word Xie, this Xie character is written very elegantly, ordinary people may have to look at it a few times to recognize it, but with the eyesight of Wang Lao and Fang You, they can see the handwriting at a glance.

"Xie Zi, is this the name of the owner of the inkstone, there were many literati surnamed Xie in ancient times, continue to go down." Wang Lao looked at the first word, thought for a while, then smiled at Fang You, and began to peel back the mud layer again, if there was another word, he might be able to guess who this name was.

In ancient times, there were three celebrities surnamed Xie, the most famous of which were Xie An, who was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty in ancient times, and had contact with Wang Xizhi and other famous people.

The second person is Xie Lingyun, a famous calligrapher and painter in ancient times, who created the historical landscape poetry school, and many good sentences are recited for future generations.

The third person is Xie Daoyun, a famous talented woman in the Jin Dynasty, a rare female poet in Chinese history, and the daughter of Xie An's brothers, and finally married Wang Xizhi's second son Wang Ningzhi as his wife.

This is just the most famous person surnamed Xie in history, and every surname, in the 5,000-year history of China, will find celebrities who have left footprints.

Wang Lao is very much looking forward to what this second character will be, it can be said that the name represents the value of this inkstone, as well as its historical significance.

The second word, under his gentle movements, was revealed, it was a fang character, and when connected with the first word, it was Xie Fang.

"Xie Fang, Wang Lao, is this Xie Fang's inkstone?" When Fang You saw these two words, he pretended to be surprised and said, not to mention these two words, the entire inkstone had already been seen by him.

Among the historical celebrities, there are these two words, only Xie Fangde, he is a Jinshi of the Southern Song Dynasty, served as a squire of the six departments, is very smart, the article is wonderful, once led the righteous army in Jiangdong to resist the invasion of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally defeated and captured, did not give in to the enemy, and died heroically.

His character is full of justice, contempt for the powerful, jealousy and hatred, his uncle died for resisting the Yuan, and his father was imprisoned for disobeying a noble official until he died unjustly.

Wang Lao looked at these two words, "Only Xie Fangde can write such free and easy handwriting, as for whether it is Xie Fangde's inkstone, it is still impossible to make a conclusion, but what is certain is that it is related to Xie Fangde, let's continue to read." ”

As he spoke, Wang Lao's solemn expression was filled with excitement, and he continued to peel off the mud layer of the inkstone, revealing the handwriting under the inkstone little by little.

As the two of them guessed, the third word is to de, and the fourth word is to remember, and then peel some down, but no handwriting is visible, Xie Fang has to remember.

Seeing that there was no handwriting below, Wang Lao changed the direction, turning from the bottom to the right, and gradually he found that there was only one word on the right, also, and continued to the right, it was another line of handwriting, loyal and martial arts.

The appearance of these words made Wang Lao think of something, and his face showed a burst of excitement, "Fang Xiaoyou, maybe you have picked up a treasure this time, it's a big leak." ”

"Oh, Elder Wang, it's just a few words, how can you see it, even if it's Xie Fangde's inkstone, it can't make you so excited." Fang You pretended to be ignorant.

Wang Lao was excited on his face, "Fang Xiaoyou, this Fang inkstone was only obtained by Xie Fang, Chu Lao should have introduced you to some famous inkstones in history, look at these words, think about it, especially the word Zhongwu." ”

Fang You pretended to be thinking, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed extremely excitement, "Elder Wang, I remember, Old Man Chu once told me about an inkstone, this inkstone was obtained by three people with righteous integrity, and at the same time engraved words on the inkstone, one of them is Xie Fangde, is this the inkstone used by that hero." ”

"Judging from this handwriting, as well as the pulp on the inkstone, it will not be imitated by others, Fang Xiaoyou, you can really bring a miracle, this inkstone has disappeared for decades, I didn't expect to reappear in the world from your hands, haha, let's continue, let this inkstone see the light of day again."

Wang Lao showed excitement on his face, and then continued to peel off the cortex underneath, and finally, the handwriting on the right side was completely revealed.

"Fang De's family collection of Yue Zhongwu ink, similar to the inscription, this cover Zhongwu relics, Xie Fang has to remember, haha, Fang Xiaoyou, this is really Yue Fei's ** Mu Zhiyan, haha, I can't imagine that I can still see this inkstone that has disappeared for decades in my lifetime."

Reading this inscription engraved on the inkstone, Wang Lao laughed excitedly a few times, and then hugged this inkstone, as if it was a beloved thing.

"Elder Wang, I really can't believe it, I just thought that this would be an old object from the Song and Yuan dynasties, but I didn't expect that this is Yue Fei's righteous inkstone that has disappeared for decades, I remember, there is an inscription by Xie Fangde, as well as Wen Tianxiang's inscription, and what is more precious is that there are eight big characters engraved by Yue Fei on it." Fang You said with a shocked face.

Wang Lao laughed, "Fang Xiaoyou, not only you, even I didn't expect that this inkstone, which is not good-looking, like a stall, will be an incomparably precious Yue Fei righteous inkstone, let us continue, take a look at Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei's handwriting, how heroic it will be." ”

Next, Wang Lao's movements were more gentle, even if a little time was wasted, the inkstone could not be damaged in any way, and gradually, Wen Tianxiang's handwriting was revealed, and the handwriting left by Wen Tianxiang could be said to be the most on the entire inkstone.

"Yue Zhong Wuduanzhou stone inkstone, to the same year for Junzhi to hide, Xianchun nine years of December three days, sent to Tianxiang." This is the text recorded by Wen Tianxiang on the inkstone after getting the inkstone, and there is also a passage that shows the ambition of his heart, and the inscription is made by the inkstone.

"Although the inkstone is not iron, it is difficult to wear, although the heart is not as strong as the stone, the Buddha who guards it is self-sufficient."

The main meaning of this passage is that the inkstone is not iron, but it is difficult to wear, and although his heart is not a stone, but it is as hard as a stone, this passage shows his tenacity and strong will, reading this passage, between the handwriting, you can feel the kind of heroic righteousness of Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang is a famous anti-Yuan hero, he was a civil official, but in order to oppose foreign invasion, resolutely set foot on the battlefield, after being captured, experienced up to three years of captivity, during this period, he did not give in to the Yuan Dynasty, many attempts to commit suicide in various ways, but failed, in the end, he calmly dealt with himself, quietly waiting for the death penalty to come, the Yuan Dynasty to its thousands of persuasions, inducement, persecution, the use of a variety of means, are far more than other Song Dynasty ministers.

Even Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, failed to persuade him to surrender, after that, Wen Tianxiang wrote a righteous song in prison that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty at that time surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty and was sent by Kublai Khan to persuade him to surrender, but he resolutely insisted on not yielding.

In the end, Wen Tianxiang was sentenced to death, and before the execution, he was calm and calm, and even when the prison officer was executed, he asked Wen Tianxiang if he had anything to say, as long as he played back, he could be spared a death, Wen Tianxiang was still silent, so far, calmly and righteously.
