After Shen Lao Zhan carefully cleaned up the remaining sealing mud on the inkstone, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "This is a layer of sealing mud burned by later generations in order to protect the ancient inkstone, this is the real ancient inkstone, Xiao Tan, go and get a basin of water, you need to use a wooden basin." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info“

Xiao Tan just woke up from a dream, he never thought that what he couldn't look at just now would suddenly become such a rare treasure.

The old man cleaned the stone inkstone as if he had a lifelong dream, and admired its full picture.

The square ancient inkstone is blue-purple in color, 21 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 2 cm thick. There is a pair of cranes carved on it, flapping its wings and ready to fly, and there is a small square sink at the shaved end, and the grinding place is slightly concave. The edge of the bottom of the inkstone is slightly arc-shaped, and the four corners have slightly protruding curved inkstone feet. There is a robin's eye on the right side of the front, the left side is engraved with the four words of the Yin script seal book "De has a neighbor hall", and there is a line of grass "Shi" word on the lower left, and there is a small seal of the treasure seal book. The inscription on the back is "its color is warm and moist, its system is ancient, why is it, the secret pavilion of the stone canal, the treasure of Yongyi, and the fragrance of books is to support" 24 vivid lines. The lower right "Hou Duo Ge Tile" four characters are simple and stereotyped, and it is very likely to be the workshop that made this inkstone, and the time was in the mid-autumn of the third year of Yuan Fu. The third year of Yuan Fu is 1100 A.D., which is the year of Zhao Ji of Song Weizong.

The more the old man looked at it, the more excited he became, his hands trembled, and he muttered over and over: "This is the true work of Su Dongpo, the real work, this is the thing of Dongpo, the ancient inkstone of Dongpo... I actually saw a real Dongpozi stone inkstone, a priceless treasure, a priceless treasure......" and even read it, and his voice whimpered, his eyes were red, and he burst into tears for a while. Xiao Tan had to step forward and gently support the old man, lest he get too excited.

In fact, although this inkstone is precious, it cannot be called a priceless treasure, but it is indeed incomparable in the eyes of Tibetan friends like Shen Lao.

Looking at the old man's excited appearance, Wu Yue couldn't help but wonder, everyone said that Shen Lao loved Yan and became obsessed, and it was true.

After a long while, Shen Lao calmed down slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Little... Little girl, this thing is really... It's so precious, what about your parents? You're young, and I... I'll have to talk to your adults about it, and see if I can... Can you resell it to me, can you tell me who your parents are and where they live? Or tell me what is the phone number at your house? ”

Shen Lao is a well-known gentleman in the industry, and is regarded by many people as the master of the antique industry, and he is highly respected, not only because of his superb appraisal level, but also for the reputation of Shen Lao.

If you change someone else, in the face of such a treasure and such an opportunity, you may not recognize the value of this ancient inkstone, and then casually use a thousand or hundreds of yuan to send a child. But Yu Shen Lao will never be possible!

He naturally didn't worry about handing over such a precious thing to such a small child now, in case Gu Yan was damaged, it would really be a tyrannical thing. But you can't trade directly with such a small child.

"Grandpa Shen, it's good if you talk to me directly, this is something I bought myself, I can make up my own minds, and I can understand what you say." Even without the memory of the previous life, Wu Yue could conclude that Shen Lao was a credible person, including his disciple Tan Ming next to him.

The two of them, with a Chinese face, thick and neat eyebrows, small but bright eyes, black and white, straight nose, full cheekbones, and wide mouths. One has a round face, long eyebrows, big eyes, a nose, thick lips and teeth, no moles on the face, and a plump servant's palace. They are all reliable people, and they will never forget their righteousness and go back on their word.

It is necessary to know the face shape of the national character and be generous. The eyes are big and the work is clear. The eyebrows are thick and long, and he doesn't play tricks. The nose is straight and upright. The cheeks are high and round, and they are advantageous and famous, but most of them can not be developed until they are middle-aged. The slave palace is plump, and it shows that he is a man who pays attention to righteousness and will stick a knife in his ribs for his friends. And those with thin lips are unrighteous and unkind, and those with fleshless cheeks are forgetful of profit.

Wu Yue quietly made up an idea in her heart.

"That.. Can you sell me the inkstone?" Although Wu Yue trusted, Shen Lao was a little hesitant, he had lived for sixty or seventy years and had never talked about business with a child of eight or nine.

Seeing that Wu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, she shook her head slightly, as if she had the intention of refusing, Shen Lao was in a hurry, and blurted out: "I'll give you 150,000, no, 200,000, 250,000!" It seems that he forgot that he was a child in front of him. In fact, this price has far exceeded the market price of this inkstone at that time. It's just that for Shen Lao, 'it's hard to buy a favorite', if not, he would have scraped together a maximum of 250,000 now, and he would add more for this rare treasure inkstone.

However, Shen Lao misunderstood Wu Yue's intentions.

It is better to give them fish than to give them fish. No matter how good the gold mountain is, it is not as good as the fingers that turn stones into gold. Preparing for a rainy day is like digging a well when you are thirsty. Of course, it is better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle than to make up for it.

"Grandpa Shen, I know you like this inkstone and want to buy it, I don't want to sell it to you because, as long as you can promise me three things, I will give you this inkstone." Hearing Xiao Wuyue's tone of voice so calm and old, Shen Lao looked at this girl squarely.

The little girl's skin is like mutton fat white jade, faintly glowing with pearles, a pair of big glasses flashing smart, and there is a mature wisdom that is not commensurate with her age.

Shen Lao suddenly felt that he couldn't see her as an ordinary child for a while, and solemnly became solemn: "What three things?"

"First, I want to learn about antiques with you." Although he has the eye of the sky, he is not pressured by many skills, and he can explain a little bit of the treasure he found in the future.

"Okay." Shen Lao was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he almost didn't hesitate, so he smiled and nodded in agreement. I have to say that the cute baby is really cute, not to mention that she is smart and clever. "What's your name?"

Wu Yue immediately got up and bowed, "Good master." I will be the month of the moon, the month of the moon. (It's different from Master.)

"Okay, good, good, moon girl, sit down. Say the second thing. “

"Second, when my mother opens an antique store in the future, you have to help with the appraisal."

This is Wu Yue's main purpose, you must know the tragedy of your own family in the previous life, but it started from buying two antiques by mistake.

At that time, Wu's father bought an ancient sword by mistake at a high price, which led to the rupture of the capital chain of the antique dealer, and there was civil strife. After being discovered, he suffered a lawsuit, which made matters worse, bankrupt, and debts, and Wu's father had no choice but to go away to work to pay off his debts, and finally died in a foreign land. If the antique shop could have Shen Lao's eyes, naturally there would not be such a major mistake.

"Who is your mother?" Although it is never the case for the owner of an antique shop to be a treasure connoisseur for his peers, with such a student, Shen Lao's attitude is much more tolerant. This is also Wu Yue's cleverness.

"Speaking of which, you should recognize. My mother's name is Xu Ying. “

"Xu Ying..."The old man tilted his head slightly, falling into memory, "Oh, you said Xiaoyingzi, I haven't seen her for almost ten years, and her children are so old." I didn't expect it, this girl of yours is the child of that girl, oops, she really raised a good child. Cheng, I agreed to this, as long as my old man can still move, he will definitely go, and if he can't move, he will ask Xiao Tan to help. “

"Master, you are in good spirits, why can't you move? If we really have to wait thirty or fifty years, we won't open an antique shop. "No one likes to be said to be old, even more so for older people, aging means getting closer to death, and only saints can really see through life and death.

"You girl," the old man laughed and leaned back, "I may not live to that time." Let's talk about the third thing. “

"The third thing is... I hope you can help me keep it secret, today's matter, whether it is the inkstone or our agreement, except for the three of us, don't tell the fourth person to know. Neither can my mom. ”

"Okay, if you don't want people to know, the old man won't say it, Xiao Tan, you are not allowed to say it outside."

"Yes, master." Tan Ming agreed behind Shen Lao, and secretly snorted angrily at Wu Yue, he was very unconvinced by this little girl.

"Also, Yue girl, this old man Fang Yan can't ask you for nothing, Xiao Tan will go and get the check." Shen Lao's temper has always been like this, he doesn't take advantage of others, and neither can his own students.

"Master, I said I wanted to give it to you, so it should be my apprenticeship." Wu Yue really wants to give it away, as far as she is concerned, this 'deal' is much more cost-effective than getting 250,000 yuan directly.

"How can there be such a precious apprenticeship? Later, you can ask your senior brother, when did my old man receive a heavy gift from others? There has never been such a rule!"

Wu Yue also knew the old man's temper, so she had to take a step back: "That's good, I can take the money, but I can't take so much." Most.. At most, 50,000, I don't want more. "In Wu Yue's heart, 50,000 yuan is the highest market price of this inkstone now.

"Okay, my old man can't take it out for a while, 100,000, I like this inkstone, it's worth the price." Shen Lao took the blank check as he spoke, and with a big stroke of his pen, he circled 5 zeros.

100,000. Twenty years later, it's not a small amount, and it's the first time Wu Yue has seen so much money in two lifetimes.

Attached is a paragraph of "Inkstone":

The end stone comes out of the end of the stream, the color is clear, and the sub-stone is the top. The sub-stone is born in the big stone, and the fine stone is also covered, and the popular rumor is false, so the purple stone is the top. It is also better to store water without consumption. There are robin eyes are precious, eyes, stone diseases are also, but this rock is the only one. Duanshi is not more important than customs, and the lawsuit is a tribute, and it is also on his inkstone.
