Chapter 568: Ink That Can Be Dissolved
Chen Yi's words made Gao Cunzhi's face show a look of surprise, "Little junior brother's words are to the point, and the question is also to the point, it is really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear." ”
Zheng Lao smiled, "Cunzhi, you didn't expect that this is human nature, because you all set your eyes on the secret of this calligraphy, and for Xiao Yi, this calligraphy has been studied by him many times, and he can also feel things that we can't feel from above, so it can be said that he maintains a very clear understanding of this calligraphy." ”
Li Boren and Uncle Liu nodded, agreeing with what Zheng Lao said, like Gao Cunzhi, they just focused on the secret of this calligraphy, and ignored other things, and they didn't go as deep as Chen Yi thought.
"Master, looking at the smile on your face, there should be a solution, or rather, the ink covered on it is very unique." Hearing Elder Zheng's words, Chen Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
Although it is priceless for him to say that the secret of this calligraphy can be discovered, it is also something he is looking forward to to being able to truly know the true face of this calligraphy.
What he didn't expect was that his master discovered the secret of calligraphy so quickly.
"Haha, Xiaoyi, or you are clever, this calligraphy has been heavily studied, and it is covered with other handwriting, which is very certain, as for what is hidden underneath, it is not necessarily, but according to Xiaoyi's magical perceptions, it must be extraordinary, and as for the ink used to cover the handwriting. There are also traces to follow. ”
Boss Zheng laughed. praised Chen Yi. Then continued: "At that time, Xiaoyi took this calligraphy, I looked at the handwriting and ink on it, and I was a little suspicious that it was covered with other handwriting, just like we put a blank piece of paper on a calligraphy to trace, the handwriting described will be very similar to the calligraphy, but its charm and charm are not as good as the calligraphy. ”
"The ink on it didn't show the slightest suspicion. But on closer inspection, there are still some doubts, and I can guess that the reason why it is covered with handwriting and can be dissolved is this ancient book. As he spoke, Mr. Zheng took out a very old book from his body, on which there were many traces of restoration.
"This is an ancient book of the Jin Dynasty, which records some anecdotes, one of which is that of an ink block production craftsman in the Jin Dynasty. There are often some ink stains on the body that cannot be cleaned, so I have been studying for several years. An ink was made of other materials, almost identical to the ink he produced, and this ink, written on paper, could be removed by a potion. ”
"It's just that this kind of ink, due to the limitation of its raw materials, is very different from the ink made of soot in terms of calligraphy fluency, and it is also slightly inferior in color, and it is not widely spread at all, and not many people buy it, so it is only a flash in the pan, and it will no longer exist."
Elder Zheng slowly opened the book, stopped on a page, and pointed to the somewhat mutilated words on it.
Everyone came to the front and took a few glances at the book, and the content recorded in the text was not much different from what Zheng Lao said.
"Although the book is full of anecdotes and the authenticity cannot be examined, it is very consistent with the characteristics of this calligraphic, except that it only records this event, and does not include the materials used to make the zuò ink, including the recipe for the potion that dissolves it."
"Therefore, if you want to truly unravel the secrets of this calligraphy of the Huang Ting Jing, it will take a while to study the ingredients on it, so as to formulate a chemical agent that can dissolve the ink on it without damaging the calligraphy itself."
After everyone watched it, Zheng Lao put away the book, shook his head and said.
Hearing Zheng Lao's words, everyone showed a look of amazement on their faces, but they didn't expect that this calligraphy really contained a secret, and it was discovered by Zheng Lao.
"Master, thank you for your research, let us know that there is really a secret in this calligraphy, and it also directly shows that what I feel in calligraphy is not groundless." With a smile on his face, Chen Yi thanked the master.
His heart was full of excitement, and the things that had been puzzled for a long time were answered today, perhaps there was really a precious calligraphy hidden under the surface handwriting, which showed that Zheng Lao's ability to be a generation of antique relics was extraordinary.
"The little brother's small Kai calligraphy, can reach the current level, most of the reasons are because of the perception of this calligraphy, the small Kai font it wrote, some are only Wang Xizhi's style, and there is no other famous painters in the past dynasties, then its handwriting is covered, I am afraid it is a calligraphy that people dare not imagine." Gao Cunzhi said with anticipation on his face at this time.
Zheng Lao smiled and shook his head, "Strictly speaking, the coverage of the handwriting on this is from the outside to the inside, in all directions, and its ink completely enters the silk book, hiding the original handwriting, so if you want to completely remove it and let the original handwriting appear, you must be careful and careful to make the chemical agent, otherwise, it will be regretted if you damage this calligraphy that may be extremely precious. It is very likely that it is the authentic work of Wang Xizhi. ”
"Of course, before the final answer is revealed, there will be any possibility of zài, but no matter who wrote it, since this piece of calligraphy can bring Xiaoyi so many insights, it must be extraordinary, I have asked those people in the Cultural Relics Research Institute to step up their research, maybe in less than a month, there will be results, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to shock the world."
"Master, thank you, without your research, I may not be able to discover the secret in my life." Chen Yi thanked Zheng Lao again, and through these things, he also knew the difference between himself and the real antique master.
Zheng Lao smiled and patted Chen Yi's shoulder, "Without your discovery, we can't see these extremely precious things, for you, even if you can't find the secret, this piece of calligraphy is also a priceless treasure, today is just to briefly explain to you the research progress of these two things, the real results appear, still need to wait, even if it is me, I am very much looking forward to the outcome of these two things, maybe it will be two things that will shock everyone." ”
Gao Cunzhi and the three of them all nodded, if Zhang Fei's calligraphy is determined to be genuine, if this calligraphy of Huang Tingjing is Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting, then take it out casually, it will shock the world, if the two pieces are taken out together, it is estimated that everyone will be crazy about it.
Being able to see with his own eyes, or copy Wang Xizhi's true handwriting, is undoubtedly a great honor and desire for calligraphers and painters, and Gao Cunzhi also hopes in his heart that this will be Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, because he is also eager to see Wang Xizhi's true handwriting.
After communicating with Zheng Lao and others for a while, Chen Yi and the others said goodbye and left, Chen Yating specially ran to Zheng Lao and bowed to him, "Thank you Grandpa Zheng for the gift, goodbye grandpa." ”
"Good boy, goodbye, I have to come here to see grandpa when I have time." Zheng Lao smiled, hugged Chen Yating, and then waved his hand to her.
After that, Chen Yi drove Gao Cunzhi and the three back to the antique city, "Xiaoyi, when you go to Miss Shen's house tomorrow, remember to call me, I will let Shen Hongwen obediently hand over my daughter, and I will accompany all kinds of dowries later." ”
"Ahem, senior brother, I shouldn't have you off, listen to your words, you are not going to be a matchmaker, but to break up our rhythm." Chen Yi coughed and said with a wry smile.
"Cunzhi, if you dare to break up Xiaoyi and Miss Shen, Old Man Zheng will definitely break your legs." At this time, Li Boren shook his head and said with a smile.
Gao Cunzhi suddenly laughed and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "Haha, just kidding, you've already dealt with Shen Hongwen, I'm just going to go through the motions, okay, remember to call me tomorrow." ”
"Got it, senior brother, Xiaoting, goodbye to a few uncles." Chen Yi smiled, patted Xiaoting, and pointed to the three of them.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Gao, Uncle Liu goodbye, thank you for the gift." Chen Yating also bowed to the three of them and thanked them.
"Okay, goodbye, Xiaoting." Gao Cunzhi and the three of them smiled slightly.
After that, Chen Yi took Chen Yating to drive the car towards the Ruilong Community, "Brother, the fountain pen given by Grandpa Zheng is so beautiful, I have never seen it, and the jade of the other three uncles is also so beautiful." ”
Chen Yi took out a hand and touched Chen Yating's hair, "Xiaoting, you have to take good care of the pen given by Grandpa Zheng, and you must study hard and maintain a tough heart just like the paragraph on the pen." ”
The value of that limited edition fountain pen is not only money, but also the 100 fountain pens, which are estimated to have been given to others by his master, which has great significance, and also represents the extraordinary relationship between the owner and the recipient of this fountain pen.
"Well, brother, I see." Chen Yating nodded heavily.
When I returned home, I learned that Chen Yating had accepted so many valuable gifts, and she was inevitably counted down by Chen's mother for a while.
Then, Chen's mother took out Chen Yating's four gifts, and the pen naturally continued to let Chen Yating hold, as for the other three pieces of jade, under Chen Yi's suggestion, the Maitreya Buddha pendant continued to be worn on Chen Yating's neck, and told her not to take it out at will, as for the jade bracelet and jade bracelet, it was decided to keep it first, and then hand it over to her when she grew up.
Among these four gifts, the fountain pen that Chen's mother cares about the most is actually the most meaningful gift. (To be continued......)
