Zhen Niang stood at the door of Mozhuang, watching the carriage of Yi Housheng go out of the official street far away, and her heart suddenly seemed to be pulled by grass, not so neat.

So she took out the little Taoist ink that Luo Wenqian gave her and played with it.

At that time, it was dusk when Luo Wenqian gave her this ingot of ink, and she didn't look at it carefully, only knew that it was a little Taoist ink, and because she knew that the little Taoist ink was imitated by Luo Longwen, she preconceived that this piece of ink was made by Luo Longwen, and then she didn't deliberately identify it.

But at this time, I found that something was wrong when I played carefully, this piece of ink has a history of at least thirty or forty years from the degree of degumming and the color of the faint micro-slurry.

And Luo Longwen was only forty years old when he died, so it was obvious that he couldn't have made this ingot of ink shortly after he was born?

In addition, Zhen Niang also found that this ingot ink should be made from the ingredients to the production method of Pan's ink.

Pan Gu, the representative of Pan's ink method in the Song Dynasty, known as Mo Xian, is definitely a figure in the ink industry, Su Dongpo in his "Four Songs of Ink", Pan Gu is highly respected, cloud: wandering without old pine, easy water without good work. Treasure the material to take the waves, the magic hand is only Pan Weng. Fish cells cooked with 10,000 pestles, rhino horns and double dragons. Mo Cheng didn't dare to use it and entered Penglai Palace.

And Su Dongpo and Pan Gu are also friends, and many of the places in his Dongpo ink method come from Pan's ink method.

In later generations, Zhen Niang and her grandfather had studied Pan's ink method, and there were many Pan's ink methods recorded in history, but most of them were ordinary ink methods, and Pan's ink methods were the same as Li's ink methods. The essence of it has been lost from generation to generation.

It's something that makes all ink-making heartaches.

So to speak. The piece of ink that Luo Wenqian gave her was not just as simple as Luo Mo. Well, when Wen Qian comes back, I have to ask him carefully, Zhen Niang thought.

"Girl, what's good?" At this moment, the old man Qi Chunqi came in with a pace. Seeing the little Taoist ink that Zhen Niang was playing, he asked curiously.

"Grandpa Qi is here, sit down." Zhen Niang saw the old man Qi who came in. Hurriedly invited him to sit down in the private room, and then handed the ingot ink to Old Man Qi: "Look." ”

As he spoke, he let the flowers on one side serve tea, and then called his grandfather over.

"Well, the little Taoist of the Luo family, Luo Longwen is dead, this has become a swan song, take it well, and in two years you will become the town of your Li family." Old Man Qi took a sip of tea.

The so-called Zhenku ink is the most important thing in every ink workshop, it represents the heritage of an ink workshop, and the collection inside is the most haode ink since the completion of the ink workshop.

And to use an analogy. The town of Kumo is like the cellars of some century-old winemakers.

"Hmm." Zhen Niang responded with a smile, and then remembered her previous doubts. I was about to ask Grandpa Qi to take a look.

At this moment, Qi Chun made another "huh" sound, his face became cautious, he put down the teacup, and carefully played with the little Taoist ink, then frowned, and then his expression seemed to recall something.

There was a sigh from the bottom of his throat.

"Grandpa Qi?" Zhenniang called softly, a little curious. Only then did Old Man Qi come back to his senses and shook his head: "It's out of shape, this ink should not be made by Luo Longwen, but by Luo Longwen's aunt Luo Mengzhen." ”

Luo Mengzhen? This name is a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhenniang couldn't help but think of the Luo family's chaste archway standing not far from the wharf outside Huizhou Mansion, and the dead person was Luo Mengzhen.

It should be the daughter of the Luo family who once said that after marrying the Wang family, her fiancé drowned, and then set herself on fire.

"It's not right, the preparation method of this ink is obviously the Pan family ink method, which is very different from the Roche ink method." Zhen Niang said again at this time.

"That's even more right, Luo Mengzhen learned the Pan's ink method, she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she once learned the way of Qing cultivation from a nun, and the nun's ancestors have a lot of connections with the Pan family, so she collected a Pan's ink method, but it's a pity that ...... "Speaking of this, Qi Chun didn't say it again, naturally it was a pity that the ink method was also burned down with Luo Mengzhen.

It turned out that this was the case, Zhen Niang then understood, and sighed in her heart that it was a pity.

"It's providence, too." At this time, Old Man Qi looked at Zhen Niang and said.

"What providence?" Zhenniang asked a little inexplicably.

"I originally had a business to tell you today, and I was a little unsure before, after all, it was a bit difficult, and now it is not far from next year's spring Gongmo campaign, I am afraid that you will be distracted, but I didn't think about it, but you got this ingot Pan Mo, so it may not be impossible to study it carefully." Old Man Qi said.

"Oh, what business?" At this time, the old shopkeeper Li came in.

"Suzhou Shen family, some time ago got a batch of Gaoli ink, but I didn't think that this ink color is dull and has no luster at all, and our ink here is not comparable at all, so I saw that this batch of ink was about to be smashed in my hand, and it happened that Lord Shen Shixing Shen of Hanlin Academy was a disciple of Sumen, so he found me and asked me if this batch of ink could be processed again. You also know, now those ink workers in the Mo Division, one by one, boastful, but when it comes to jishu, it is not as good as your Huizhou side, besides, your Li family's Zai and Mo are also quite famous, so I want to ask you, however, this Gao Li Mo re-harmony method was Pan Xian's forte back then, but now it has long been lost, and I am not sure, I am afraid that Zuihou will be useless in the end, but it will delay your preparation for Gongmo's election, so I have not made up my mind, Unexpectedly, Zhen Niang unexpectedly got this little Taoist ink made of Pan's ink method, so, study it, it may not be impossible. Qi Chun said.

Su Dongpo's "Four Songs of Ink" talks about Pan's Goryeo Mozai and Mofa.

Because Lelang is one of the four counties of the Han Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula in the Han Dynasty, and Lelang in the poem actually refers to Goryeo Siloma.

Look at this poem again: "Treasure the material to make fun of the waves, and the magic hand is only Pan Weng." Fish cells cooked with 10,000 pestles, rhino horns and double dragons. Mo Cheng didn't dare to use it and entered Penglai Palace. From this, it can be seen that the re-harmony of this Goryeo ink is the masterpiece of Pan Xian. The difficulty can be imagined.

"Hmm. Let me see. Old Shopkeeper Li also took the ink and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Zhen Niang's heart has a plan. This Shen Shixing is also a remarkable figure in the Ming Dynasty, although it is currently only an editor, but in the near future it will become the teacher of the future Wanli, and when Wanli succeeds to the throne, this Shen Lord is even more ascending, zuihou into the cabinet, when Zhang Juzheng died, Zhang Siwei won the love. Became the first person in the cabinet.

Of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that now Luo Wenqian is Zhang Juzheng's party, although it is temporarily unlimited, but when Zhang Juzheng is liquidated by Wanli, the misery of the Zhang family is also chilling, to Zuihou is also this statement to stand up, although when he stood up, the tragedy of the Zhang family has been completed, but at least it can keep a little vitality of the Zhang family, so as not to be wiped out.

Zhen Niang thought about this, although she thought far away. But for such a character, it's always good to have some good karma first.

In a word. Because of her marriage with Luo Wenqian, Zhenniang's worries are far away.

In addition, don't talk about the far, let's just say the near, the spring of next year is the Gongmo campaign, originally Grandpa Cheng responded to the big haode situation for the Li family, but now the Tian family and Xu are married, then next year's Gongmo election will be unpredictable for the Li family, it is better to brush up more prestige.

Affirming that nothing else, with his status as the champion of Jiajing for 41 years, if he can get his approval, Li Mo's reputation will undoubtedly be even higher.

Your Tian family has a background, and my Li family has a jishu reputation, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer at that time, after all, the Xu family still pays attention to reputation outside, and Xu Xiang is now the first person in the court, but he is also a big man, and he is not liked by Longqing, otherwise, he will not return to his hometown next year.

Thinking of this, Zhen Niang felt that this time the Suzhou Shen family's batch of Gao Limo's re-business, her Li family had to take over.

Of course, you can't be full of words, so Zhen Niang said: "Grandpa, I think we can talk to the Shen family first, get a little try, if it is done, if it is not because it is said in advance, it will not be difficult to come to the Shen family." Besides, even if we can't study Pan Mo's re-harmony method, my Li family's re-harmony method is also good. ”

"Well, Cheng, let's ask Brother Xu to pull a string." Old Shopkeeper Li immediately made a decision.

So the matter was decided, and the next day, Qi Chun brought Shen Ziyan of the Shen family, Shen Ziyan is Shen Shixing's cousin, and now he is taking care of the Shen family's business.

So, the two families negotiated and tried to make a batch first.

And then, Zhen Niang and her grandfather went into the ink workshop, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to file some ink edges from the little Taoist ink, and then mash them, and restore the Pan's ink method step by step.

I tried the ink again, looked at the ink bones through the ink marks, and finally everything was ready, and Zhen Niang began the first trial production. In the first trial production, Zhen Niang did not use Pan's ink method, but directly used the re-ink method she had developed before.

This trial production was successful, because the Li family's re-and ink method is now very mature, but different inks have different re-and ink methods, obviously the Goryeo ink with the Li family's re-and ink method, although it can be done, but the produced ink is only better, far from reaching the level of high-quality, let alone reaching the level of Pan Weng.

This still made Zhenniang a little disappointed.

So then Zhen Niang immediately used the Pan's ink method that had just been researched to try production, but the result was a direct failure.

However, Zhen Niang's temperament has always been more and more frustrated, and in the next few days, her trial production has almost reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

"This girl, I was still talking about it before, but now look at her, she has been in the ink shop all day long, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner, I look at the past two days, this girl has lost a lot of weight." In the evening, when I was having dinner, I couldn't see Zhenniang's figure, knowing that she was still nesting in the ink workshop, the old shopkeeper Li couldn't help but mutter.

"Dad, you, don't say anything about anyone, the same temperament, born to be an ink-maker." On the other hand, Zhao also said a little helplessly.

The flowers on the side and the others were also happy.

"Grandpa, it's done, it's done." At this moment, Zhen Niang came out with a piece of ink. Said excitedly.

"Ah, I'll see." As soon as he heard it, the old shopkeeper Li didn't eat his meal, and as soon as the bowl was lost, he also rushed into the ink shop.

"Look, it's not the same." Zhao said angrily at Li Jingfu.

Li Jingfu smiled hesitantly, there is no way, old and young, and then make ink, the father and grandson have that temperament.

And here Li shopkeeper has been with Zhen Niang began to test the ink, but the result of the ink test made Zhen Niang like a basin of cold water, before the use of thick ink to try, the ink color is very good, the brilliance is also good, but when using the light ink of the water, the dots of ink that should have appeared did not appear, and the ink color is dirty when the ink is light, this ink color is actually uneven.

"It's already good, and if you polish and polish the details, it should be possible." The old shopkeeper Li encouraged Zhen Niang.

"Hmm." Zhen Niang nodded, but she knew in her heart that not only for this reason, but also because she had already handled the details very well, and now there was such a situation, obviously because Pan's Mofa had not yet been thoroughly understood.

At night, Zhenniang couldn't sleep, and the weather was hot, so she was even more irritable, so she simply stopped sleeping, got up and dressed, and went into the ink workshop again.

"Girl, the re-ink method of Gaoli ink, and Zuihou together use not Pan's ink method for glue method, but Sichuan monk's Qingwu ink method." Just then, a man came in with a lamp in one hand.

Zhenniang was startled, and when she looked back, she was an ugly woman.

………………

There is one more shift in the afternoon. (To be continued......)
