044 Jiangyang blood inkstone

After breakfast, she didn't let her wash the bowls, so Ma asked Li Banxia to report to Zhao Lang's Chinese medicine store. And announced at the breakfast table that the breakfast, lunch and dinner pots from now on were all Xia Shanxiang and Liu Ginkgo's.

It's rare that she still has this kind of treatment, although Li Banxia feels a little sorry for Xia Shanxiang and her sister-in-law, she is still very happy.

All the way to the front village, the hour is still early, Zhao Lang Chinese medicine is still open, walk slowly, and look at it, but also happy.

Li Banxia has been here for a while, and there are really not many places like this leisurely strolling on the road blowing a small breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the countryside.

Dayang Village is still very lively, because of the reputation of a "hometown of inkstones", there are many literati and visitors to this poor countryside every year to pay respects.

The most famous of them is Jiangyang Blood Inkstone. Dayang Village is a small mountain village under the rule of Jiangyang, and Dayang Village is a few miles to the east, which is the famous Yan Mountain. Every year, two to three pieces of blood inkstones can be produced here, because the blood inkstones are very painstaking, and the craftsmanship is extremely complex and exquisite, and the output is very limited.

I heard that this blood inkstone, the appearance of human blood-like red, and mostly produced in the Jiangyang area, so it is called Jiangyang blood inkstone.

Jiangyang's blood inkstone is as smooth as jade, and the ink is silent. Its stone is firm and moist, caress it like a muscle, grinds it with a sharp edge, astringent water to leave a pen, slips without rejecting ink, ink is small and easy to dry, and cleans it up.

Jiangyang blood inkstone has always been highly respected by literati and ink writers, and the best Jiangyang blood inkstone will be paid as a tribute every year. Ordinary literati can't get a piece of Jiangyang blood inkstone in their lifetime, and a small piece of Jiangyang blood inkstone is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

This is why such an errand as Jiangyang Zhizhou is called a fat chap, and most of the incumbent Zhizhou are here for this Jiangyang blood inkstone.

Jiangyang not only has blood inkstones, but also famous inkstone carvers with excellent carving skills. These inkstone carving masters are not only the treasures of Jiangyang, but also national treasures.

With this memory, you will be respected by others wherever you go. Because of scarcity, it became a treasure. The famous inkstone carver is one in a thousand, and one out of 10,000 may not be able to come out.

Therefore, Li Banxia never thought that her husband, a man who works in the fields all day long, would one day become the hottest inkstone carver in Bian Kingdom!

…………

Walking and stopping, there was a group of laughter from behind. Listening carefully, the pedestrian was talking about Jiangyang Blood Inkstone.

I only heard a man speak: "Second master, this time I have fulfilled your wish, this Jiangyang blood inkstone only produces two or three pieces a year, and you got one in just two days." ”

Another man snorted, "What kind of blood is not bloody, no matter how precious it is, as long as you can afford it, what can't you buy?" ”

"Nanyuan, you are wrong, this Jiangyang blood inkstone is not an ordinary inkstone, let alone something that can be bought with money. Of the five villages and towns in Jiangyang that produce blood inkstones, four of them were bought. This is also the last piece in Dayang Village, do you say it is precious? ”

"That's what the second master said." Nan Yuan bowed to the person who spoke and nodded. Judging from the attitude he spoke, this person should be the second master in the mouth of the first man.

"I have long heard that this Jiangxi blood inkstone is the best inkstone, and it is indeed the case when I see it today. The view is warm and delicate, the texture is clear, perfect and undamaged, and the star halo is obvious. Touch it like a child's face, like a beautiful skin, blowing up pearls. The jade and golden sound of the buckle are sonorous and exquisite. The stone is slippery and not astringent, the ink is good, the ink is not dry, and it is not damaged for a long time. It's really a good inkstone! ”

The second master took out the inkstone in his arms, played and watched it repeatedly, and admired it again and again.

"Second master, where are we staying tonight? This Dayang village is still some distance from the nearest town, and I don't know if I can get there before dark. ”

The person who spoke was called Bei Zhi, and he was Nan Yuan's brother. Both of them were the second master's servants, and this time they made a special trip to Jiangyang to buy blood inkstones.

"Second master, I think we should hurry as soon as possible. In this poor and remote area, let alone accommodation, there is no place to even eat. Forget about the hard work, and take a good rest in the town. As soon as he heard this tone, he didn't need to look back, he didn't need to listen to the voice, Li Banxia knew that it was the person named Nanyuan who said it.

"Brother, didn't we see an inn in the front village when we came. Jane is a little shabby, and it's still okay to eat sharply. I barely slept last night, and my lord was tired, so I was going to stop here for a day and then leave. ”

"Just listen to the north, stop for a day and then go." The one called the second master spoke again, and Nanyuan had to agree.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and it was behind Li Banxia. Li Banxia stepped aside and let the group go first.

When the three of them passed by him, at a glance, Li Banxia saw their appearances clearly.

The one in the middle is in a brocade robe, holding a feather fan, with a streamer on his head, and he is a little dashing. A step behind him, followed by two teenage men. Judging from their immature appearance, they should be less than twenty years old.

To Li Banxia's surprise, the two men looked exactly the same. The same fair and immature face, the same slender figure, and even the weapons in his hands are the same. Although the clothes of these two are not as exquisite as the second master, they are also made of fine satin, and they look like they are from a big family.

The only difference is that these two people always pick the corners of their mouths, as if they are laughing at something, with a kind of contempt. Needless to say, this person must be called Nanyuan. Li Banxia almost subconsciously decided it.

Although the other face was tense, he didn't feel sharp, but there was a softness, which should be the one called Beizi.

Nanyuan, who was picking the corners of his mouth, glanced at Li Banxia casually when he passed by, shook the corner of his clothes, wiped in front of Li Banxia, and walked away very coakingly.

Li Banxia tugged at the corners of his mouth, this kid is really dragging.

The three of them walked along the village road, Li Banxia opened his neck and looked at the sun, it was not too early, he couldn't delay, he should go to Zhao Langzhong to report.

I threw away the dog's tail grass that I had just left on the side of the road, clapped my hands, and hit the road.

Li Banxia's feet sped up a little, bypassed the back of the third aunt's house, went down the small slope, and returned to the main road. She walked around, and if she walked straight, she would pass by Wang Mazi's house. Wang Mazi is a half-crazy person who always lets out dogs to scare people. The big black dog is fierce, barks fiercely, and most importantly loves to lick people. was caught by it, and licked around your legs, Li Banxia was caught by it once, and he was scared, and he took a detour here in the future.

After crossing Wang Mazi's house, he jumped down from the slope and walked back to the main road.

There is only this main road leading to the front village, but there are several mountain roads, except for those who go up the mountain to collect firewood and herbs, few people take the mountain road. This main road is a fork in the road, and it is beside the mountain, and few people pass through here.

Li Banxia just jumped down, and didn't take a few steps, when he suddenly heard a sound of fighting not far ahead.
