Chapter Sixty-Nine: Zhu Lacquer Paints Gold and Phoenix, Pipe Zihao Pen

The speed of the van was not as good as that of a three-wheeled motorcycle, and when Yu Lifei and the others arrived at the store, Li Xuanmo was already waiting for him there. After Yu Lifei helped him move the screen into the store, he immediately went to the bank to transfer the money. The money was transferred out, and Yu Lifei was completely relieved. Although he still doesn't know the origin of this brush, he knows one thing very well, it is definitely not simple.

"There's nothing here, so please sit inside." After Yu Lifei came back, he saw that Su Dahai and the others were waiting for him inside, but there was not even a stool in the store, so he had to ask everyone to sit in the back. In the evening, he also took a hurried look, and he was not very familiar with the environment here.

"Boss Yu, didn't Lao Niu take these stones?" Wu Jiashan noticed the pieces of wool under the cabinet, he was in the jade jewelry business, although he mainly bought some jade raw materials, but sometimes he would also buy some wool. Now the market of jadeite is getting better and better, and many people are also interested in wool. Especially for gambling stones, one knife is poor, and one knife is rich, which makes many people's blood boil.

"These stones may be too heavy, Boss Niu only moved the deck chair, and these stones were left to me." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Oh, Boss Yu also likes stones?" Wu Jiashan shook his head gently, how could the old cow be too heavy, but he didn't think these stones were worth a few dollars, right? He sold the store to Yu Lifei, and the price was already very high, but he didn't leave a decent thing, I'm afraid he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"I don't know much about stones, so I'll probably have to ask you for advice on this in the future." Yu Lifei said sincerely, knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. If you don't know how to pretend to understand, you will be laughed at.

"It's okay, if you want to deal with these stones, or cut things out yourself, you can come to me and definitely give you a good price." Wu Jiashan said that he had discussed with Boss Niu before, and let him forget about this pile of stones. But Lao Niu never agreed, maybe he didn't lack these money at that time, but he didn't expect it to be cheaper than Yu Lifei now.

"Boss Yu, I didn't catch anything today, and it's been a few years since these stone cow bosses got it back, right? I'd like to buy one to try my luck and help you open another one. Zeng Da suddenly said that he was playing miscellaneous, and stones were also one of the miscellaneous. Although there are stones in the shop in Wujiashan, the stones here have been around for some years. Even if Boss Niu gambled badly before, as long as there is still a stone that has not been solved, there is still a possibility of a miracle.

"Yes, you can take your pick." Yu Lifei said disapprovingly, Zeng Da was able to pick stones, which was to give himself face.

"How much?" Zeng Da asked, business belongs to business, favor belongs to favor, some things are better to be clear first.

"You also know that I don't know much, why don't Boss Wu help me estimate the price?" Yu Lifei looked at Wu Jiashan and said with a smile.

"According to the current market, if a stone of this size comes out of the old pit, it will cost tens of thousands. But Boss Niu's stone, hehe......, a thousand pieces is still more reasonable. Wu Jiashan hesitated for a moment before he said. He still gave Yu Lifei face, if he was asked to make a price, I am afraid that these stones would not add up to more than two thousand. But since Zeng Da is willing to support the show, and this is Yu Lifei's first serious business, naturally the price can't be too low.

"That's okay, just have fun, just give a hundred." Yu Lifei said nonchalantly.

"You're kind to Boss Yu." Zeng Dalu smiled, no wonder Li Xuanmo was willing to trade with Yu Lifei, it turned out that he was indeed very straightforward. If Yu Lifei offered a thousand, he would not refuse. But he only needs a hundred, not only giving himself face, but also giving Wu Jiashan enough face.

Since Yu Lifei was polite, Zeng Nature was not good at pretending, so he went under the cabinet and casually picked up a stone and put it on the car outside.

"Boss Yu, can you give us a glimpse now?" Su Dahai was already waiting a little impatiently.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm going to clean it right away, maybe it will disappoint everyone. Yu Lifei said with a smile.

The reason why Su Dahai has been waiting here is mainly to see what Yu Lifei has taken. When he was at Li Xuanmo's house, Yu Lifei pretended to be mysterious, but he thought in his heart that what Yu Lifei took was just a piece of bad pen.

The cleaned brush finally reveals its true face. This is a delicate vermilion lacquer painted gold Kui Feng tube purple pen, purple pen head, bamboo pen tube, pen cap, vermilion lacquer background, painted with gold to paint the exquisite Kui Feng ornament. The only regret is that there is no pen to write, otherwise it would be perfect.

"Good stuff!" Zeng Da was playing miscellaneous, and he could see at a glance how extraordinary this thing was.

"Lao Zeng, you give me the palm of your hand." Although Su Dahai also thinks that this thing is extraordinary, if you want him to say that he is ugly, he really doesn't have those goods in his stomach. The ancient books he is most interested in, although he often helps others write the name of the shop, but he is not very familiar with the brush.

"This pen should be something of the Ming Dynasty, this vermilion lacquer painted gold Kui Feng pipe purple pen, the pursuit of a warm and festive atmosphere and exquisite craftsmanship, is the common feature of the Ming and Qing dynasties of the imperial court." Zeng Da looked at it carefully and said affirmatively.

In fact, Yu Lifei also has a certain understanding of this pen, and although he has never seen it before, he has heard of it. The so-called vermilion lacquer is red lacquer. There is a strict hierarchy of the use of vermilion lacquer, such as vermilion, which is not just anyone who can use it.

Wei Hong of the Han Dynasty "Old Han Yi" said: The prime minister "listened to the Yellow Pavilion and did not dare to open the Zhu Gate, so as to distinguish himself from the master, so he painted it with Huang Tu and called it the Yellow Pavilion". The official office is not painted vermilion, in order to distinguish it from the Son of Heaven. The vermilion lacquer gate was once a symbol of supreme dignity and could not be used casually.

As a result, Zhu Hu was included in the list of "Nine Tin". The so-called nine tin refers to the highest courtesy given by the Son of Heaven to the princes and ministers, that is, the nine kinds of utensils.

"Han Poems Biography" says: The princes are virtuous, and the son of heaven is tin. One tin chariot and horse, then tin clothes, three tin tiger ben, four tin musical instruments, five tin Na Majesty, six tin Zhu Hu, seven tin bows and arrows, eight tin iron Yue, nine tin Heju, called nine tin.

The "Nine Tin" things, so they have to wait for the Son of Heaven to give them, not necessarily because the princes or ministers have few assets and cannot afford to buy them. For example, the Zhu household, who is ranked sixth, as long as the Son of Heaven has this courtesy, En's permission can be painted vermilion, that is, "given". Those who receive this privilege are fully capable of running their own doors on their own. Zhu Hu's gift is a high-standard treatment. He Mu of the Han Dynasty commented on "The Legend of the Ram", and when it came to "Rite has nine tins", Zhu Hu was ranked fourth.

"Lao Zeng, don't sell it, tell us about it." Wu Jiashan was very familiar with Zeng Da, patted him lightly, and said with a smile. Although he also has a shop in the antique market, he plays with stones and jewelry, and is not very familiar with other types of antiques.

"That's good, this vermilion lacquer gold painting Kui Feng tube purple pen, using the gold painting process. Gold painting refers to the practice of adding gold patterns on the lacquer base, divided into a variety of techniques such as gold painting, literacy gold painting and ** image gold painting. The use of gold lacquer technology in China began in the Warring States Period, and the Qing Dynasty was a glorious period for the development of gold lacquerware, with diverse techniques and exquisite craftsmanship. Gold painting is often based on black lacquer, and a few are based on vermilion lacquer, and there are also gold paintings called 'gold and silver lacquer decoration method'. Like this vermilion lacquer depicting gold Kui Feng pipe purple pen, it is based on vermilion lacquer. Zeng Da said.

"I remember that Ming Huangcheng's "Ornament Record" said this: 'Painting gold, a lacquer lacquer, that is, pure gold flower text. Zhu Di and black matter are suitable for Yan. The text is based on landscapes, feathers, flowers and fruits, character stories, etc.; And the thin hook is yang, and the grooming is yin, or black, or **like. Su Dahai said,

"It seems that the two of them are really knowledgeable, such a small pen, can do such exquisite craftsmanship on it, I really don't know how those ancients did it." Wu Jiashan said with admiration.

"Shen Fuwen's "Lacquer Work Materials" specifically introduces the production process of gold lacquer decoration: 'The polished plain tire is painted, and then red or black paint is painted, and this layer of paint is called lacquer. After drying, sanding and smoothing...... After pushing the light to reach the brightness, use the bucket transparent paint to adjust the color paint. The thin pattern is applied to the lacquer surface, then placed in the greenhouse, and when the lacquer is about to dry, the finest gold or silver powder is brushed with a silk cotton ball, and the pattern becomes gold and silver. 'The lacquerware made in this way has a resplendent effect. As early as the Warring States and Han dynasties, China has mastered the method of using gold, and in the Song Dynasty, lacquerware with gold patterns appeared, and Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty was good at painting gold and colored lacquer. Zeng Da said.

"Zihao nib, is it made of hair-free?" Qi Yunsheng didn't expect Zeng Da's knowledge in this area to be even more powerful than Su Dahai. Like Wu Jiashan, he mainly plays with stones, and he only knows how to play with fur and fool the layman.

Zihao pen is taken from a small part of the back of the wild hare black needle tip hair as the main raw material, Zihao surface is shiny, sharp and hard, the hair stem is thick and straight, moistened and pinched into a flat line, fine observation can see that Feng Ying is slender, black and brown transparent. The strength of the mountain rabbits in the north and south is also different, and there are also those that are made by combining the north and the south. Beihao is soft and also called Huai Rabbit Hao, which means that Anhui Huaibei is out, it is better to go out of the Northeast, and now it is on the verge of extinction, and it is also less originally. This pen is likely to be Zihao from the Northeast. Zeng Da said firmly, and at the same time looked at Yu Lifei with envy in his eyes. With such a good pen, he should be able to see it at a glance, but he has been to the courtyard of Li Xuanmo's house a few times, and he used to remember that there was something inserted under the tree, but he always thought it was a stick, but he thought it was a treasure.

"Lao Zeng, are you interested in this pen?" Qi Yunsheng saw that Zeng Da's eyes were about to light up, and said with a smile.

"If Boss Yu intends to transfer it, I am willing to collect it." Zeng Da said.

"Mr. Zeng, this is a pure purple purple pen, right?" Yu Lifei asked, in fact, he knew that Zihao is divided into pure purple, that is, the body is all black and purple, and the two flowers are white in the middle of the body, three or four flowers, five or six flowers, seven or eight flowers, etc. The length of Zihao is generally not more than 4.6 cm, so it can only make large, medium and small Kai pens, such as "pure purple", "white purple hao", "flower purple", "small flower" and so on.

As for the five or six flowers, seven or eight flowers, they can only be used as wolf millimeters or as good as Jiajianhao. In addition to the black needle hair, the mountain rabbit also has a kind of all-gray and white called flower tip, the flower tip has a length of 5.cm, can be made purple pen and wolf hair body hair, the flower tip is more tough. The mountain rabbit also has a side point, the quality of this side tip is far less than the black needle tip (purple) and the flower tip is good, and the price is not as good as the purple pen. In addition to the authentic lake pen, most of the other origins are made of wool dyed black or black wool, and its quality and cost are incomparable with the authentic Zihao pen.

"It seems that Boss Yu is also a person who loves pens." Zeng Dalu smiled, a little disappointed in his heart. The more Yu Lifei knows how to write, the more he will naturally love the pen, and the more difficult it will be for him to collect this pen.

"Yes, I have an elder who has only used a brush all his life. I've always wanted to give him a good pen, and although this one doesn't have a cap, I think he'll like it. Yu Lifei said, he naturally could see that Zeng had a great intention to collect, but he tried it just now, this one can still be used, and it is well-made and noble, and it is the most suitable to give it to the old man.

"You want to give this money to the elders for writing?" He once opened his mouth wide and used precious antiques such as the vermilion lacquer to paint the gold and phoenix pipe Zihao pen to write the pen, which can definitely be called a luxury. But if he knew Lu Dao, and Yu Lifei also planned to let the old man use the Daxi Cave Duanshi Liuji Yan and Luo Xiaohua's ancient pine heart ink to study the ink, I don't know how surprised Lu Dao would be?
