Tian Ronghua's little abacus, how could Zhen Niang not be able to see clearly.

However, she has always been very prepared, although she did not expect that the Tian family would buy the ink tester, but as the ink tester itself, the level and technique of each ink master are also focused, and the ink test with the painter can not fully show the quality of the ink, so she still has some ideas in this regard.

Su Dongpo's life can be said to be very proficient in the study of ink, and his "Speaking of Ink" records a method of testing ink.

The inkstone inkstone is studied, and the book is written on the white jade board. All ink is defeated.

That is to say, using the inkstone inkstone to study the ink, you can see the gloss and ink of the ink, and the ink color is expressed on the fine white jade plate, you can see the brilliance, blackness, and color scale of the ink color.

This is the easiest and most effective way to test ink.

Thinking of this, Zhen Niang looked at the beautiful women preparing pen and ink.

Now that the three ink testers are all biased towards the Tian family, she has to fall into their faces.

So, Zhen Niang stood up again, and was about to speak, when at this moment, a purple gold lightning flashed outside the Taibai Building, followed by a thunderclap, which startled everyone in the building.

"It's changing, it's going to rain." The Taibai building couldn't help but scream.

At this time, the sky outside the Taibai Building, dark clouds rolling, and after a while, the sky seemed dim and dark, like the sky when chickens entered the nest. There is no way to test the ink with this light.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, hurry up and turn on the lights." On the side, the clerk of the Ink Affairs Division greeted the shop in Taibai Building.

"I'll go this way." The shopkeeper of Taibai Lou hurriedly responded, then pulled off his robe and hurriedly went downstairs. Greet the little two lights.

The ink test was paused. On the one hand, the second child and the buddy sent snacks and tea to each table. It's just a good time for everyone to take a break.

At this time, the raindrops the size of beans fell down and smashed on the bluestone slab on the ground outside, shattering into dots. After a while, the ground was covered with white blisters, and it was pouring rain.

"This damn weather, it's raining again, hurry up. First go to the shop on the side to hide. At this time, the idlers who were still watching outside the Taibai Building were also shouting.

And in the Taibai Building, because of this change, it is also a little messy.

Zhen Niang walked to the window of Taibai Lou along the river at this time and looked out of the window, in the dark and dreary sky outside, the entire river was boundless, and in this rain curtain Zhen Niang saw a small boat rushing towards this side in the wind and rain, and after a while they arrived at the embankment, the two of them ran directly from the boat to the embankment, Zhen Niang couldn't help frowning slightly. The first one was Luo Wenqian, and he was followed by his brother Luo Ping'an.

Is something happening? Zhenniang clearly remembered that Wen Qian said that he would come to visit this Gongmo campaign. But there was no one who came to watch the ceremony today, and at this time, in the heavy rain, the two of them came in such a hurry, something must have happened.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

And just as Zhen Niang was thinking, Luo Wenqian's clothes were still untied, so he went upstairs in a few leaps, and Xiao Er on the side hurriedly stopped him and didn't let him come up. Fortunately, Luo Wenqian had a poster on his body to observe the ceremony, and the second child read the post before letting him come up, but it was hard to ask him to take off the clothes on his body.

Luo Wenqian was obviously in a hurry, so he directly tore off his robe, threw it on the little second's hand, and then carried the wet hem of the robe upstairs. Zhen Niangzi also stepped forward early: "Brother Luo, is something wrong?" ”

Luo Wenqian has always been leisurely, and Zhenniang has never seen him so cautious.

Luo Wenqian gently pulled Zhenniang to the corner of the screen on the side, and then took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Zhenniang.

Zhenniang took the letter with some suspicion, took it out and looked at it a few times, then changed color with a bang, and at the same time gritted her teeth. Zuihou's expression became solemn.

But it turned out that a few days ago, Wang was in charge of their ship and their ship came back, and with their ship came back a Japanese tribute mission, which is now in Nanjing, temporarily received by the Si Bo Division.

Among them, there is a caravan, the leader of the caravan is called Lian Ji Yingsong, but also the messenger of the mission, it is said that this person has the ability to make ink, this time he brought a box of ink made by his own hands, and wanted to dedicate it to the Ming court through the city ship, but this Lian Ji Yingsong was not ashamed to print the five words "the first ink in the world" on the ink.

You must know that Yu Elk Damo and the former Li Yan Guimo were once known as the world's first ink. And when some small ink shops imitate Yu Elk Damo and Li Mo in private, they will also be engraved with the name of the world's first ink.

But who knows, this is a kind of propaganda, and it can't be done really.

However, on this occasion of tribute, the Japanese engraved "the first ink in the world" on the ink, which was the provocation of Chiguoguo.

In this way, the imperial court refused to accept the tribute from Renji Yingsong.

Unexpectedly, Lian Ji Yingsong did not give up, and even formally proposed Doumo in the name of the mission, pointing out that unless someone could defeat his ink, otherwise, the Ming court should not refuse the tribute of Japan.

The father-in-law of the city division was so angry that he couldn't wait to drive people out, but since this Lian Ji Yingsong officially proposed to fight ink in the name of the mission, then he couldn't do it, so he could only hand over the fold to the capital.

So, this thing is in the waiting stage.

However, the entire Nanjing ink industry was angered by Lian Ji Yingsong's challenge, which was Chiguo's slapping the face of the Ming ink maker.

The Li family, the Tian family, and the Cheng family's three major Hui ink villages are at the top of the ink industry, and they will not make a move easily, besides, now Huizhou is in the tribute election, in addition to the Cheng family, the other two ink village people can not be in charge, so they are still in the wait-and-see stage. But some small ink shops, some ink-making love haode literati, and some ink collectors have taken out their own refined ink, and directly found Lian Ji Yingsong first and fought with him.

Unexpectedly, Zuihou was defeated one by one. Among them, they even wrapped up the Li family's Yu Elk, the Tian family's Ziyuguang, and the Cheng family's Xuanyuan Yu.

The Li family's Yu elk ink, the Tian family's purple jade light, and the Cheng family's Xuanyuan jade, this can be said to be the most haode three kinds of ink on the market at present, but I didn't expect them to be defeated, this time, the entire Nanjing ink industry was silent, but it made Nalian Ji Yingsong more proud, and at the same time alarmed the imperial court.

Originally, the imperial court was disdainful of Lian Ji Yingsong's challenge, and the challenge was not something that anyone could challenge, but it was called Nanjing Ink Industry, and this must be warned.

After this stirring, Nanjing ink industry also calmed down, and after everyone's previous Doumo, Li, Tian, Cheng, Gu, Zhu and other ink-making families sent people to observe secretly, only to find that Lian Ji Yingsong's ink does have some origins.

Its ink method is the ink method of the Western Regions monks in the Song Dynasty.

Zhen Niang remembers that in the book "Chibei Occasional Talks" in the Qing Dynasty, there is a comparison of various ink methods.

One of them records a conversation between a monk from the Western Regions and Su Taijian of the Song Dynasty, saying: "There is no inkstone in other countries, but there is good ink, and China is inferior." ”

At the same time, the book also records the bay leaf ink mentioned by the monks of the Western Regions, with hundreds of Sanskrit characters on it, and the ink color is very shiny. It was also recorded that Su Taijian wrote with this ink, put it by the window, was wet by the rain, and rubbed it with a cloth, and the words never died.

This is the ink method, and even the material of Ji Yingsong's ink is extraordinary, its tobacco material may be the tobacco material of the millennium pine, and the glue should be similar to fish fat glue, from its smell, it is likely to be made of sea keel.

It can be said that Lian Ji Yingsong's ink does not exist at all, after all, the millennium pine can not be sought, it can be said that Lian Ji Hero is afraid that he can only make such a box in his life, but he relies on this ink, but you can't help but fight.

It just so happened that the Huizhou side was running for tribute, so some people in the court proposed that when the Huizhou side of the tribute campaign ended, the merchants who had obtained the right to pay tribute to ink would fight with Lian Ji Yingsong.

The letter says that the decree is already on the way.

As soon as the people of the Li family and the Luo family in Nanjing got the news, they quickly sent the letter over, and they came by water and land, and finally arrived in Huizhou at this moment. As soon as Luo Wenqian received the letter, he immediately rushed to inform the Li family.

In fact, Doumo, as an ink-making family, is not afraid, Zhen Niang looked at the letter and secretly analyzed, her own Li Liuhe Sancai Mo should be able to fight.

Of course, in order to have a full grasp, we must also work on the material, in fact, it is difficult for Lian Ji Yingsong to ink on this material.

Because of this, the Li family is going to fight, and they are not completely sure.

But now the imperial court has issued a holy decree, that is, only victory is allowed, not defeat. Once defeated, if you don't get it right, the whole clan will suffer.

This is the reason why Luo Wenqian came so urgently, and it was also what Zhenniang was worried about in her anger.

In other words, this Lian Ji Yingsong is stirred, and now the right to pay tribute to ink that is still being fought for has become a hot potato, and next, whoever gets the right to pay tribute to ink will have to face this duel.

If you win the glory of your ancestors, if you lose, the whole clan is afraid that they will have to eat the rice. What's more, I had to lose a few heads.

So, this has to make people think, is this tribute and ink right still in contention now?

From the heart, Zhen Niang wants to fight, what is the big truth for the country and the people, Zhen Niang is a little woman, she can't resist, but as an ink maker, she can't retreat at this time, this is a war that belongs to the ink maker.

But when it comes to the safety of the whole family, it is not something she can do. In this way, it is impossible for grandpa and seventh grandmother to be the masters.

However, with her understanding of her grandfather and seventh grandmother, I am afraid that her grandfather and seventh grandmother, knowing that they may die, will never retreat, and even worse, will increase the determination to seize Gongmo, which has nothing to do with life and death, this is the glory that every ink maker wants to maintain.

How many people have died in the Li family in ink making in the past few decades, but they have never said a word.

"I'll go talk to my grandfather and my seventh grandmother." Zhenniang took the letter in her arms. The eyes were shining.

The competition for Gongmo is a high * tide, but it is not the highest * tide, a certain sugar wants to intermittently push the plot to a higher * tide, begging fans for support!! (To be continued......)
