Xie Bin was a little impressed by this big back after listening to it, indeed, Xie Bin's words were learned from his grandfather, although he preferred regular script and official script, but between the lines he still had his grandfather's elegant style. It's just that this person who looks like an official and more like a literati said it, which has to make Xie Bin admire, at least this eyesight is really good.

Looking at the expression of the big back, Xie Bin nodded and said, "Okay, what word do you want?" ”

"This, little brother, you look at it, as long as it is suitable for the situation," the big back is not picky.

Xie Bin thought about it, and wrote down a few words, "Floating clouds and wandering children, the sunset is so human", but these words are simply written in block letters, with round muscles and bones, and a chic pen, which has both the rigidity of regular script and the smoothness of calligraphy. These ten words are written in one go, free and extraordinary.

The big back of the self-proclaimed Song Zhenping looked at this line of words, and exclaimed: "It's really good!" This handwriting cannot be written without eighty or ninety years of skill, and this power is very strong, stronger than some famous calligraphers, I am afraid that the foundation laid since childhood is very solid, which can not only be practiced by hard work. ”

Xie Bin has become very good about this big back now, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been practicing calligraphy since I was very young, but I have been busy making money to support my family in the past few years, and I haven't taken care of practicing calligraphy, and I haven't touched a pen for several years, so I'm ashamed to say it." ”

"Hahaha, when you say that, how embarrassing are you to let those who specialize in writing for a living? Hahaha, Xiao Xie, what do you do? Song Zhenping asked with a smile.

"I don't have a job, I just have to play with some jade and jade to make a little difference," Xie Bin said modestly.

"Huh? Playing Emerald? That's a big deal, how's that? Is there a way to get rich? I have a friend who plays with jade rough stones, and wants me to play with two of them, but I don't know how to do it, so I don't dare to go. Song Zhenping said in surprise.

Xie Bin smiled and nodded, "It's better not to go, that thing is worse than antiques, millions and tens of millions of people can't even splash when they are thrown in, batches of investors fall down, batches of people break in, they just want to make a fortune, but it's so easy?" It's about the same as picking up a leak at a stall, so it's easier to play antiques. ”

"Hahaha, in fact, it's like this, no matter which industry, there is a big risk if there is a huge profit, and the current antique business is not easy to do, don't look at my claim to open an antique shop, most of the sales are handicrafts, as for the real thing, it would be good to sell three or five pieces a year." Song Zhenping is very talkative and talks endlessly, but what he says is relatively good, which also makes Xie Bin have a better impression of him.

Seeing Guoguo standing on the side, Xie Bin grinned at her, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, "There is a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to learning from the sea", and then he made a payment on the side: "Give Guoguo children, June of the year." ”

Seeing the words Xie Bin wrote to her, Guoguo smiled and said crisply to Xie Bin, "Thank you, Brother Bin". Xie Bin liked it in his heart, and agreed with a smile, carefully dried the words, and let the girl take away.

Then Xie Bin was here to talk nonsense with Mr. Zhao and Song Zhenping, talking about things in the antique shop, talking about the market of jade and jade, and so on. Xie Bin is very good at talking as long as he is willing, Song Zhenping is also an open-mouthed person, and even Old Man Zhao, who doesn't like to talk much, is also very interested. The little girl Guoguo also moved a small stool to sit on the side, listened attentively, and refilled tea for everyone from time to time.

When Xie Bin was about to leave, he pointed to the square Chengni inkstone where he was writing and asked, "Old Zhao, does that inkstone have any plans to make a move?" ”

"What? Thank you, are you interested? Old man Zhao was very surprised, "This price is not cheap, now that the market of Chengni Yan is rising, I am really reluctant." ”

"It's okay, just have a price, I'm ashamed to say it, I have learned words for so many years, there is really no inkstone that fits, if you don't want to sell this piece, I'll pick a new one," to that piece of Chengni inkstone, Xie Bin likes, but not to the point where you have to take it, in other words, on the market now, there are a lot of inkstones in good condition, many of them are even well-documented and orderly, and some are used by celebrities. Although the price is expensive, with Xie Bin's net worth and means of collecting money, there is no pressure to buy two.

The old man looked at Xie Bin and sighed with a smile, "Actually, I don't write much myself, and it's a waste to keep it, Xiao Xie, if you're interested, give me 30,000 yuan." ”

"This ......" Xie Bin was a little hesitant when he heard this price, "Old Zhao, isn't it too low, this piece should be able to sell for more than 50,000 yuan, right?" ”

"Hehe, the so-called sword gift to the hero, it should have been given to you, but the old man, I also have to eat, this loss-making business can't be done, so I will be cheeky and charge you 30,000 yuan, don't shirk, otherwise I have no place to put my old face, I just received you two words, if you really don't want to go, well, leave me another one, the more I look at it, the more I like it, I have to find a master to frame it."

"This, okay," Xie Bin is not hypocritical, if he is hypocritical, it will be a bit difficult for the old man to get off the stage. However, then this character, Xie Bin wrote Cao Cao's "Turtle Although Shou", which was written in Liti. The whole fifty-six words are vigorous and powerful, solemn and blazing, which makes Song Zhenping on the side rub his hands with envy.

Naturally not enough inkstone, Xie Bin picked two pieces of good pine ink, a piece of oil smoke ink, a knife of good rice paper, and also picked a set of purple wolf brushes, and a large and small Kaigui pen with a bucket banner, except for the largest hawthorn pen, the rest of the models are all together.

This product is a good product, but the price is not cheap, not counting the inkstone cost 30,000 yuan, especially the pine smoke ink, which is not as good as the ordinary goods on the market, just these two pieces of ink cost more than 20,000 yuan. As for the oil smoke ink, it is used for painting. Xie Bin learned ink painting, and the materials used are simple, as long as there is a pen and ink, but it is best to use oil smoke ink.

Although this set is worth a lot of money, but now that Xie Bin has money, he will naturally not be short of this, and besides, he really lacks such a set of things. In the past, he was busy making money, and he didn't have the time or energy to write and paint, but now it's different, from now on, he doesn't have to work day and night for life, with such a set of guys, it's still very good to adjust his mood occasionally. Besides, Xie Bin's calligraphy and painting level is indeed very good, which Xie Bin himself knows very well, otherwise he would not leave words for people casually. If the level is not enough, they will write to people everywhere, so that connoisseurs will laugh when they see it.

For example, a certain actor who has not studied for a few days, and after he became famous, he learned words for a few days, so he gave this inscription and that inscription all day long, but those words were written like oracle bones, and he was embarrassed to show off in front of the camera, I really don't know what to think.

Xie Bin is different, he has been practicing calligraphy and painting since he was three years old, until he was eighteen years old, his grandfather was in one day, Xie Bin did not stop practicing for a day, and the foundation was very solid. Coupled with Xie Bin's carving all day long, his wrist strength is naturally very strong, even if it is a little insufficient, it also makes the extraordinary pen power to cover up. So Xie Bin was not timid at all, and generously left such a few words, and even left his name.

Carrying a set of study utensils he bought, Xie Bin suddenly remembered that he still lacked two good paperweights, but paperweights are not as simple as inkstones. There are many materials and forms of paperweights, gold, silver, jade, jewelry, strange stones, etc. can be used as paperweights, and the content of the performance is also different, and the price is naturally different.

Back in the hotel, Xie Bin figured it out for himself, and after a few days, he met a lot of friends, and they all felt good. Thinking about it before, life was indeed too monotonous, almost a two-point and one-line walk in the dormitory antique street, rarely knew other friends, and did not take the initiative to communicate with the outside world.

Now I have a trip, from Boss Liu in Pingzhou to Mr. Zhang, vice president of the Jade Association, Xie Chengwen and Mr. Zhao Zhengkui here, as well as Song Zhenping, the big back, and the cute and well-behaved girl Guoguo.

Take out the contents of your backpack, especially the clay inkstone. Because of the different raw materials used to make Chengni inkstone, there are yellow, cyan, purple and other colors. Xie Bin's piece is cyan, also called crab blue, engraved with an indifferent look of the fisherman is sitting leisurely by the pond fishing, the pond is the ink pond, and the edge of the ink pond is carved with flowers, willows and other decorations, and in the pond of the ink pond convex a small piece carved into the shape of lotus leaves.

The whole inkstone is placed on the table, which looks like a leisurely taste, which is in line with Xie Bin's mood of buying it. Originally, writing and painting or something is leisure, if you carve something on the inkstone like a tiger descending the mountain, wouldn't it be a big scenery. Of course, ordinary craftsmen do not make such mistakes.

Chengni inkstone is hard and wear-resistant, if the jasper, caress the child's muscles, the ink is not dry, the ink is not rotten, the cold is not icy, the breath becomes the inkstone, does not hurt the pen, does not damage the slightest, Wu Zetian, Su Dongpo, Mitty, Zhu Yuanzhang and others have a soft spot for the Chengni inkstone, and the Qianlong Emperor is even more praised: Fu is like a stone, and he is shengjin.

Xie Bin's grandfather also had a piece of Chengni inkstone, but it was placed in the tomb by Xie Bin when he was buried. His grandfather didn't have much savings, and there were only two favorite objects, all of which were used as funeral objects by Xie Bin.

Although the Chengni inkstone that Xie Bin bought was in good condition, it was not a very delicate top grade, but Xie Bin just felt very kind and liked it very much, so he didn't choose other inkstones.

Speaking of inkstones, the most popular now is naturally Duan Yan, since decades ago, Duan Yan has been very popular, and even many people are looking for stones similar to Duan Yan to pass off as Duan Yan.

And a kind of stone produced in the west of Jinxi, which is very similar to Duan Yan, and some of the quality is higher than Duan Yan, but many people have to sell it as Duan Yan after careful carving. At that time, an ancient inkstone researcher said that the quality of these stones is actually better than that of Duanyan, and it can be completely entered into the market as a brand of its own. However, because Duanyan is too famous, these people would rather sell it as a fake Duanyan than make it into a new brand, which shows the great fame of Duanyan.

In the current market, the average price of an inkstone is slightly higher than that of other inkstones, of course, those who have been used by celebrities are not among them.

When Xie Bin set up a stall in the antique market, he saw a lot of vendors selling inkstones that he didn't know from there wholesale as ancient inkstones. Not to mention, the business is quite good, because those inkstones are very beautifully made, and the price is not too expensive, which is very popular.

But antiques, antiques, playing is a "ancient" word, not ancient things, no matter how exquisite they are, they don't feel like playing, right? Xie Bin settled in Nandu this time, and he may not have the intention of finding some treasures, after all, he has been mixed in the antique street for so many years, and his love for antiques exceeds that of ordinary people.

It's just that antiques, in addition to spending a lot of money, also need to have eyesight. Don't look at what Xie Bin said when he appraised the fake painting, in fact, he just learned it when he was studying calligraphy and painting. If you ask him to talk about porcelain or something, he promises to reveal the stuffing immediately. His abilities really can't tell the authenticity of an antique.
