Chen Yi smiled, the valuation of this copper coin was not unexpected, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and it can be seen from the fact that the status of calligraphers and painters was promoted to the highest position in Chinese history during the Song Dynasty Huizong.

Similarly, this is also the reason for the demise of the two Song dynasties, the military and political affairs inside and outside the court are controlled by civilian officials, even if it is a generation of military god Yue Fei, it is difficult to stop the pace of the demise of the Song Dynasty, and in the end it is the result of a grievance to death.

"Old Lu, this second cultural relic is in my box, you wait a minute, I'll take it." Chen Yi said hello to Li Lao, and then walked towards the box placed in the corner of the room, he came with a total of two boxes, one box for things like rice paper, and the other for clothes.

Now after getting the storage space, there is still rice paper in the box, just for show, a large part of the rice paper, has been transferred to the space by him, and copper coins, letters and other cultural relics are also in the storage space, if you want to take it out, you naturally have to use the box as a cover.

When opening the box, Chen Yi used his spare eyes to see that Lu Lao and the two did not follow, so he took out the letter from the storage space with confidence, and the purple clay pot also took it out, he took the letter first, and the purple clay pot first put it in a flat corner of the box.

"Old Lu, this is the second antique I want to show you." Chen Yi smiled and handed over the letter in his hand, on this letter, he also had some doubts and wanted to ask Lu Lao and the others for advice.

Lu Lao did not rush to receive the letter, but found a pair of white gloves from Chen Yi. After putting it on his hand, he took the letter. At a glance, I can see the extraordinary nature of this letter, "This letter has been around for some years, let's see whose letter this is." ”

"This word is really powerful, and I ......feel ashamed of the favor of the fragrant goose, Mr. Ishida, I should bow to ......."

"What, Old Lu. Quickly show it to me, this should be a letter written by Li Yingzhen to Shen Zhou. Before Lu Lao finished reading, Fu Lao on the side let out an exclamation and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask for it.

Lu Lao nodded, gently handed the letter to Fu Lao, who was also wearing white gloves, and then said, "Here, Li Yingzhen wrote it to Shen Zhou." Judging from the inscription, it is true, Ying Zhen is Li Yingzhen, and Ishida is Shen Zhou's number, I never thought that this would be Li Yingzhen's handwriting. ”

After Fu Lao took it, he watched it carefully. Immediately, his face was full of sighs, "Judging from the handwriting, this is written by Li Yingzhen himself, and there are some famous appreciation seals on it, judging from the content of this letter." It should be that Li Yingzhen was warmly received by Shen Zhou before and felt deeply guilty. As a letter of thanks, and at the end of the letter, Tong Zhongzhou's cursive character scroll is also mentioned. ”

Chen Yi couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Old Fu, who is this Tong Zhongzhou, it is worth mentioning in Li Yingzhen's letter." He knew the general content of the letter, but he didn't know about the person Tong Zhongzhou in the letter, which is why he took out the letter today.

"Chen Xiaoyou, this Tong Zhongzhou is a famous literati in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, in the Hongwu years, he was a professor of Huzhou County, and often sang poems with Song Lian, Yao Guangxiao and other famous literati, just mentioning Tong Zhongzhou may not know what level many people have, but this Song Lian, was once praised by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang as the founder of the country, scholars called Taishi Gong, and Tong Zhongzhou was able to become friends with Song Lian and others, it can be seen how his academic skills are, the pen and ink he left behind is very rare, and even unique, with its literary level, Naturally, it is worth mentioning in Li Yingzhen's letter. ”

Fu Lao looked at this letter, his face was full of sighs, in the history of China, there are many talented literati, all of whom have been buried in the years, and only some of them are extremely famous can be known by future generations.

At this time, Lu Lao's face showed contemplation, and he said: "About this Tong Zhongzhou, I also know a little bit from the historical materials, in the Yongkang mountain pit in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there is a academy, called Fengya Academy, in which the mountain trails linger, purple bamboo into forests, mountain flowers into patches, it can be said that it is a good place for self-cultivation and learning, reading and reasoning, and the founder of this academy is Zhu Dashan, a native of Fengya Dao, once served as Su Jingying Tianfu Confucian instructor, equivalent to the current vice president of the university, and his ancestors also served as a county guard, familiar with the four books and five classics, He has a soft spot for education. ”

According to the Ming Jinshi Xu Zhao in the "Heavy Arrest of Huanghuajian Preface", the city and the river go to the Yi fifty miles, the mountains and rivers are strange, the essence is the humanities, a giant family, it is the Zhu family, in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family was named Dongyaoer, many famous ministers and sages, such as Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Zhang Sanyi, Zhu Boqing, Tong Zhongzhou and others, all came together to ......, can be recorded in the article with Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others, it can be seen how the level of Tong Zhongzhou is."

Hearing the words of the second elder, Chen Yi showed a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect this Tong Zhongzhou to be so powerful, but he had never heard anyone mention it, and he could be compared with the founding ministers, Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others, but they were unknown.

"Chen Xiaoyou, you haven't heard of Tong Zhongzhou, it's normal, he doesn't have much ink handed down, and the records of him in historical materials are limited to some wild histories and biographies, strictly speaking, he is not a calligrapher and painter, but a teacher." Seeing Chen Yi's complexion, Lu Lao said with a smile.

"Lao Lu, in your opinion, this letter is worth a lot, let me explain that this letter is no problem, but it is a little difficult to estimate it." Touching the letter in his hand, Fu Lao asked with some curiosity.

Lu Lao looked at the letter carefully, and then nodded, "This letter is written by Li Yingzhen, which can be said to be a testimony of his friendship with Shen Zhou, Li Yingzhen's calligraphy pen and ink have been handed down, and it is also very rare, plus there is Shen Zhou's inscription on it, as well as the appreciation seals of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is so well preserved, in my experience, this small letter should be worth more than 1.5 million." ”

"Well, I have no objection to this price, Li Yingzhen's letters exchanged with Shen Zhou, its collection value is extremely high, as far as I know, Zhu Yunming's letter to Li Yingzhen, at the auction, also auctioned a high price of 1.5 million, Li Yingzhen is Zhu Yunming's father-in-law, and his calligraphy teacher, his letter is genuine, at least this price should be." Fu Lao smiled, and was not too surprised by Lu Lao's price.

Lu Lao laughed and put the letter on the table, "Chen Xiaoyou, take out two antiques one after another, both of which are worth more than one million, can you tell us where you got these two antiques and how much they spent." ”

"Old Lu, the copper coin was obtained from the pile of copper coins under an inferior brass toad ornament, the price of this toad ornament is two hundred, and the letter, speaking of which, I got it from a book I bought from a collector, and that book is now placed under the table, I bought a total of five copies, one is one thousand fourteen." Chen Yi smiled and told the origin of these two antiques to Lu Lao and the others.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, the two of them showed a look of shock on their faces, "This copper coin worth 1.3 million yuan, the purchase price is only 200 yuan. ”

"There are also these books, one thousand four, at the price of these books, it is also worth thousands of yuan, oh, this Song poem essence has been opened, I think, your letter was obtained in this book, in the case of this Song poem essence, the value should be about eight hundred, so to speak, even if you add the price difference of other books, the price you get this letter will not be more than two thousand yuan, but it is worth one and a half million." Lu Lao took out the five books from under the table, and when he saw the essence of Song poems that had been opened, he immediately sighed.

Fu Lao seemed to think of Chen Yi's previous words, and couldn't help asking, "Chen Xiaoyou, I heard just now that you got these books in the hands of a collector, I don't know which collector it is. ”

"Speaking of this collector is related to the Huashen Cup, I heard Senior Brother Gao say that one of the April Peony Cups of the official kiln that I know the whereabouts of now is in the hands of Huang Desheng, a collector of Tianjing, who held a collection exhibition a few days ago, so I went to his home to ......" Chen Yi will get the general process of this book, and said it, which will naturally be modified.

"It turned out to be Huang Desheng's guy, Chen Xiaoyou, you have to deal less with him in the future, his Flower God Cup will not be sold, there are already some collectors who want to get it, but this Huang Desheng is pretending to be high-minded, and he is extremely snobbish."

At the mention of Huang Desheng, Lu Lao showed a trace of disgust on his face, this Huang Desheng's reputation was completely ruined in the Tianjing antique culture circle, but then he clicked on the letter, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiaoyou, you can be regarded as relieving the collectors who have been ridiculed by him, if you let Huang Desheng, who is slamming the door, know that you bought a letter worth more than one million from his collection for 1,400, it is estimated that he even has the heart to die, haha." ”

"Old Lu, I don't know if he has the heart to die, but I have an understanding of his greedy character." Chen Yi said with a smile that the exhibition really let him know why Huang Desheng was disgusted by so many people.

"This Huang Desheng's poor conduct is well-known in Tianjing, Chen Xiaoyou, you better give up your desire to get his Huashen Cup, the official kiln Huashen Cup is very precious, but it is not unique to one person, I will collect information these days to see if I can find the whereabouts of these few Huashen Cups that you are missing."

Lu Lao nodded with a smile, and then said to Chen Yi in a serious tone, he was afraid that Chen Yi would want to get this Huang Desheng's Flower God Cup.

"Old Lu, I know, thank you for your help." Chen Yi thanked him, if he couldn't get this flower god cup, he couldn't complete the task, and there was really no reason not to give up.
