Everyone automatically made way for Zhen Niang, and Zhen Niang took the flowers and walked unhurriedly to the crazy stall in the inner circle. Zhen Niang looked at the mad life, thirty times, white and beardless, and there was a god in his eyes, at this time, looking at Zhen Niang coming, his face was also calm, not as arrogant as the previous crazy words.

However, the human eye, the window of the heart, the mad eye has a trace of contempt.

Zhen Niang just glanced at the madman lightly, and then turned her face to look at the ink in front of the madman.

At this time, there was an ink box in front of the madman, on which was covered with a piece of red satin, and a long strip of ink was placed on the satin. The shape of the ink was larger than today's ink.

"Miss Li, please, don't disappoint anyone." At this time, the madman spoke.

"In this way, Zhenniang will not recognize it with all her might." Zhen Niang is also blessed with a salute.

Seeing that Zhenniang was still polite and polite at this time, the madness also collected some madness, and the disdain in his eyes was gone, and he made a gesture of please. His previous madness and disdain is actually just a kind of agitation, everything Li Zhenniang has done since she came to Nanjing, it is enough to recognize that she is not simple, that is, the Li family launched the ink last year, I heard that it came from the hands of this Li girl, plus today's ink, although the master often says that ink is a small way, but to admit it, the development prospects of ink are very broad.

All in all, all these show that this Miss Li is really indispensable

Zhen Niang nodded, stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and held the ink in her hand with the red satin. Look closely.

Watching the excitement on the side is whispering, but Zhenniang's temperament is always quiet, and she will not be affected in the slightest. At this time, I just looked at the ink in my hand.

The ink was dark. The ink edges are somewhat damaged. There are also faint cracks. This crack is not a real crack, but a kind of ink slurry produced by age, just like the lines on ancient porcelain, needless to say, this is an ancient ink.

Looking at the back of the ink, there are words written "Tianchui Yuanjing, Yue descends to the pure spirit", and the front is a portrait of a man in Tang costume.

Zhenniang couldn't help blinking. Then he gave a salute to the madman: "Can you try the ink?" ”

The mad student glanced at Zhen Niang, and the corners of his mouth twitched, how could such precious ink be used to test ink easily, but when he came out, the master said that he could test the ink, so although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still nodded: "Yes." ”

Then he took out an inkstone pen and paper and put them in front of Zhenniang. Zhen Niang took some eaves water from the door of a shop on the side, and then carefully studied it. Slowly, rhythmically, like this, it didn't take long to grind well.

Zhen Niang picked up the pen and drew a few ink on the paper at will, the pulp is dark and the color is black, the black is not not black, but the ink is introverted, and the introverted is hidden in the ink, this is the reason for the gas condensation, and then smell its faint fragrance of blue musk, Zhen Niang took a deep breath, and then the person saluted at the crazy life blessing: "Shangdang Bisong smoke, Yiling Dansha powder." The blue musk condenses the precious ink, and the essence is worthy of light. Zhen Niang couldn't help reciting Li Bai's poems.

And with the chanting of Zhen Niang's poem, the crazy face was wrong.

And Zhen Niang continued at this time: "If the little woman is not mistaken, this should be the famous Luzhou ink in the Tang Dynasty, and the pine ink in the hall." ”

"Who's made it?" The madman then asked. To tell the truth, it is not unusual for Zhenniang to recognize the ink of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the portrait of the man on the ink is in a Tang costume, which is somewhat suggestive, but this Miss Li said that Shangdang Songxin Mo made him look at it differently.

"Made by Tang Li Yang Bing and Li Shaojian." Zhenniang replied.

"What does this ink mean?" The madman continued to ask.

"Mr. Li Shaojian is the uncle of Mr. Taibai's family, Mr. Taibai went to Li Shaojian when he was down, the two smelled the same, Mr. Taibai gave praise to the portrait of Li Shaojian as "When Tu Li Zaijun painted praise", the first sentence of this praise is the essence of Tianzhui Yuanjing, Yue descended the essence. And this ink is Li Shaojian's self-appreciating ink, so it has not fallen into the name. Zhen Niang said word by word.

It's like many painters paint self-portraits.

At this time, the madman's face was already pale, and he didn't expect anyone to really recognize this ink.

"What's so special about this ink?" At this time, the madman just gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Night pearl powder is added to this ink material, so the ink of this ink can glow at night." Zhen Niang said again, this is what she just tried to try, originally she thought it was ink color, but Lu Mo rarely came out of ink color, so Zhen Niang thought of the night pearl.

After listening to Zhenniang's words, the mad life was like ashes.

And most of the people around are the peers of the ink industry, at this time all the eyes are green, the Tang Dynasty Yi Mo and Lu Mo, Yi Mo later moved to Huizhou, the achievement of Hui Mo, and Lu Mo is extinct. In this way, it is needless to say that the preciousness of Lu ink, not to mention that this ink is Li Shaojian self-appreciating ink, Li Shaojian was the creator of the imperial ink supervisor, and in addition to the night pearl, the value of this ink is difficult to reach in gold.

And thinking about the arrogant words released by the wild life before, that is to say, now, this piece of ink has to belong to Li Zhenniang. How can the crowd not be blushing.

The crazy man was also a talker, and after his face turned pale for a while, he finally sighed discouragedly: "The shopkeeper Li is really a woman who does not let the eyebrows, so this piece of ink belongs to the shopkeeper Li, and he will say goodbye." ”

As he spoke, the madman was about to leave, and he didn't even want the ink box.

He was really afraid that if he didn't leave, he would regret it and run away with the ink.

"This master is slow." Zhenniang turned around and shouted.

"Or what?" The madman said in a huffed voice.

"A gentleman does not take the favor of others, the little woman can see this ink in this life, it is already what she wants, if you accept this ink with a cheeky face, it is greedy, afraid of being damned. Therefore, I also asked this master to take back this ink and collect it. Zhen Niang said to the madness.

It's not that she's delicate, but that this ink is too precious to be accepted.

The mad looked at Zhen Niang fixedly, then arched his hand towards Zhen Niang, said no more, packed up the ink, took the ink box, and left in a hurry.

"Girl, that's good." Grandpa Cheng San just smiled at Mimi, and then turned around and left.

The crowd dispersed. There are people who say all kinds of things in private, and some say that Zhen Niang is stupid. The treasure to hand is unnecessary. It is also said that Zhenniang did the right thing. It's not always a good thing to have pies in the world.

Luo Wenqian took a slow step, walked to Zhenniang's side, and said with a smile: "Do you know who that person was just now?" ”

"I don't know." Zhen Niang said very simply.

"It's the apprentice of Qi Si, and now the foreman of the Imperial Ink Supervision Glue Room - Wang Zizhi." Luo Wenqian said.

Zhen Niang first looked at Luo Wenqian with a smile, saw the smile in his eyes, and then had an understanding, daring to feel that this was the old man Qi who was specially looking for someone to weigh himself.

See Zhenniang understands. Luo Wenqian didn't say much, arched his hand, and left first.

Zhen Niang also returned to her own ink village to prepare for the ink competition.

Langfang Street, outside the Ink Division, is inhabited by workers and officials of the Ink Division.

At this time, the prince went straight into a small courtyard in the left lane with the ink box, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his master sitting at the door of the main house, facing a small water tank at the door, which was not used to hold water. Instead, it was filled with sesame oil, and Old Man Qi was stirring it with a stick at the moment.

Each ink maker has its own characteristics and specialties.

And this old man Qi Chunqi. The characteristic of his ink-making is in this oil.

Most ink masters, when lighting cigarettes, are directly burned tung oil to obtain bituminous coal, but the old man Qi's bituminous coal method is to burn tung oil with sesame oil.

And sesame oil is not pure sesame oil, every five catties of sesame oil, to soak two taels of sumu, one or two halves of yellow lotus, tung bark, almonds, comfrey, sandalwood one or two, mast, angelica angelica each half two, wood turtle kernel six pieces of grinding powder, to soak more than half a month, after that, add this sesame oil into the tung oil, mix well and burn smoke.

This method is said to be the ancient ink method, which has been lost, and most of the skills of the old man Qi are on this, to get this bituminous coal, to make ink with pure glue, the ink color is pure and thick, quite ancient, more majestic, and with this ink, the old man can sit on the master in the ink department.

At this time, Old Man Qi was concentrating on stirring the sesame oil soaked in medicinal powder, and when he heard the footsteps of the prince entering the door, he asked without raising his head, "How is it?" ”

"Miss Li recognized it, and even saw that there was a night pearl in this ink." The prince bowed.

"Oh, I underestimate this girl, but, I think that Li Jinshui is also a person who attaches great importance to skills, if this girl Jishu is not good, Li Jinshui will not dare to let her out, so, that girl is also qualified to compare with me." Old Man Qi said, but his face was a little dark.

The five heroes of the year, now there are only three people left, originally, this time the newly appointed ink official Lord Liu sent him to help the Tian family participate in the election of the princess's mansion birthday Mo, he did not agree in his heart, what a share.

It's just that Lord Liu insists on going his own way, and he also understands the thoughts of adults. Since the end of last year, the original ink officer Huang Daren has retreated from illness, and Liu Kui stuffed a lot of money to get the position of this ink officer, but first, Liu Kui doesn't know much about ink affairs, and secondly, his reputation is small, and this dry jishu has some stinky temper, and only serves Jishu high people, so that Liu Daren's low spirit in the Mowu Division is inevitably insufficient.

So, on the one hand, Lord Liu wanted to tie up with the Tian family and obtain the support of the Tian family, and on the other hand, he wanted to suppress some old people in the Mo Division, and this old man, he Qi Chun bore the brunt of it, and most of the workers and masters of the Mo Division were the apprentices and grandchildren of the old man Qi Chunqi, and it can be said that in the Mo Division, the old man Qi's words are much more useful than the official of the Mo Division.

In this way, this Lord Liu couldn't tolerate it, but he didn't dare to offend Qi Chun too much, so he took this opportunity to let Qi Chun come forward instead of the Tian family, if he won, Tian Benchang would spend some more money, and Qi Chun would naturally become Tian Mo's master, so Qi Chun would not be in the way of him Liu Kui.

And if he loses, Qi Chun's age is a big reputation, then he will lose face, and the position of the Mowu Division should also be Xian.

After all, whether he wins or loses, Qi Chun doesn't want to stay in the Mo Division anymore.

Lord Liu's mind Qi Chun understands that although he is unwilling to stand up for the Tian family, he is just crushed to death by the first level of the official, but he can't tolerate his disagreement, so Old Man Qi can't help but be a little disheartened, so he also wants to take this opportunity to retire and leave the Mo Division, and before leaving the Mo Division, it can be regarded as a wish to be able to teach with Cheng Sanye and Li Baye.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Cheng San's guy actually avoided fighting, and Li Baye was just hiding in Huizhou, and the ink maker who came to participate in the election of the Li family was actually just a little girl under the age of seventeen.

This is Chi Guoguo's slapping him Qi Chun's face, so there was the previous scene, just to make Zhen Niang retreat.

Now it seems that the little girl has some skills, so he will also see the skills of the younger generation when he is leaving.

Thinking about it, Qi Chun turned around, but saw that the prince was still holding ink in his straight body, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "She confiscated it?" ”

"No, Miss Li said that this ink is too precious, and a gentleman does not take away people's favor." The prince said straight, to be honest, Zhen Niang didn't accept it, he was really relieved, he had followed Old Man Qi since he was a child, and no one understood Old Man Qi's fancy for this piece of ink better than him.

"Little girl, it's interesting." Old Man Qi squinted and smiled, and then asked the prince to put away the ink, and he actually had some expectations for the election in a few days.
