Wen Yiming quietly approached a few steps, and finally saw the contents of the wooden box, pieces of jet-black ink ingots!

"That's all?"

Fei Fatzi frowned, picked up a piece of ink ingot, shook it with his hand, looked at the color, and sniffed it under his nose, and said impatiently: "The choice of ink ingot depends on the ink color, the blue and purple light is the top, the black one is the second, and the red and yellow light or white light is the worst." ”

He casually put the ink ingots back into the wooden box, and said contemptuously: "These ink ingots are gray in color, strange in shape, and smell moldy, I thought they were some good things!"

He stood up and waved his hand and said, "Our store is mainly engaged in porcelain and jade, we don't accept your treasure, please go back!"

Then turned around and left, the man opened his mouth and shouted a few times, but Fei Fat didn't look back, sighed, and had no choice but to put away the wooden box and leave Bogu Zhai.

"Big brother, please stay!"

Wen Yiming hurriedly followed out, and after leaving Boguzhai for a hundred and ten meters, he ran to the man's side and asked in a low voice, "Can I take a look at your ink?"

"You ......"

The man looked up and saw that it was actually a young man, and said in disappointment: "Look, I ran all morning, and there was no store to collect it, what a bullshit ancestral treasure!"

After speaking, he handed the wooden box to Wen Yiming, he quickly took it with both hands, his heart was happy, his face was silent, and he picked up an ink ingot and observed it carefully.

It took five minutes before he raised his head and said with a smile: "Big brother, your ink should be ancient ink, but the color is not high, it is not an antique!"

The man complained: "Hey, what does everyone say, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a few days, and I thought it was a priceless treasure, it's really unlucky!"

"I'm a college student studying Chinese painting, I usually like ancient ink, although they are not antiques, but after all, they are also old ink that has been inherited for decades, you make a price, I want it cheaper!"

"This ......"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man opposite, and sure enough, he looked like a college student, and hurriedly said, "Five thousand!"

After hearing this, Wen Yiming immediately stuffed the wooden box to the man, and said dissatisfiedly: "Five thousand? Do you know that a piece of Qing Dynasty famous ink is only five thousand!

"All a thousand!"

Wen Yiming said firmly: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, don't sell and pull down!"

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when the man saw it, he quickly grabbed him, and said helplessly: "One thousand is too little, at least three thousand, you take three thousand!"

Wen Yiming shook his head and said: "I'm just a poor student, if it weren't for the fact that your ink is a little old, and take it back just to do graduation research, I don't want a hundred!"

Seeing that the man was very hesitant, he continued to strike: "Has anyone collected these inks after running all morning?

The man sighed, it seems that the ink in his hand is definitely not valuable, and several stores don't accept it, and there is not even a price. looked at Wen Yiming, and made up his mind: "One thousand and five lowest, if there is less, I will go back and smash it!"

Wen Yiming gritted his teeth, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Forget it, five hundred more is five hundred, but this wooden box must be given to me, otherwise it will be broken on the way back......"

"Here you go!"

When the man heard this, he hurriedly handed the box to the stupid boy, the wooden box was even more worthless, and no one wanted a hundred cypress wood. Wen Yiming took out his wallet, there were only two thousand cash in it, and the transaction between the two was completed, and the man left without turning around.

Wen Yiming hugged the wooden box, his heart was excited, but he still walked out of the antique city in a hurry, took a taxi to his home, and closed the door before he couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Big leak!

"The royal dragon incense ink of the Ming Dynasty!"

He took out all the ink ingots in the wooden box, threw them aside, took out a knife, and began to pry the bottom plate below.

"Haha, it's really Long Xiangmo!"

"It's still a set!"

Wen Yiming carefully picked up the red sandalwood ink cartridge and opened it gently, and there were six ink ingots of different sizes neatly placed inside. The purple light is leisurely, the ink fragrance is bursting, and it is exquisite!

The ink is divided into two kinds of pine smoke ink and oil smoke ink, pine smoke ink is made of ash burned by pine trees, which is characterized by black color, poor gloss, light gum quality, and is only suitable for writing. The oil smoke ink is mostly made of animal or vegetable oil, etc., and is characterized by black and bright color and gloss. The most common tung smoke ink is solid and delicate, with a lustrous finish.

The ingredients used to make ink vary from house to house and are often kept secret. It usually includes egg white, fish skin gum, kraft gum and various spices and medicinal materials, such as cloves, comfrey, qin bark, sumac, white sandalwood, suhexiang, pearls, etc. There are more than 1,000 kinds of ingredients.

According to the use, it can be divided into ordinary ink, tribute ink, royal ink, homemade ink, treasure ink, gift ink, etc.

Imperial ink, as the name suggests, is the imperial court ink, at the latest at the end of the Tang Dynasty has been specialized in the production of imperial ink for the royal family, the earliest seen is the Ming Dynasty Yongle imperial ink.

The name is National Treasure ink, ox tongue shape, one side is the Yang text coated with gold two dragon patterns, the middle is the Yin script "National Treasure" two words, one side is four groups of gold Ruyi cloud head pattern, and the middle "Ming Yongle Year" blue Kai paragraph. The production is quite exquisite.

Xuande also has royal ink, called Longxiang Yumo, one side of the dragon play bead embossed, one side of the Yin script "Dragon Xiang Royal Ink" four words, under the Yin script "Xuande first year system" paragraph knowledge.

Longxiang ink was originally made by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Zhi of the Tang Dynasty "Yunxian Miscellaneous Records": "Xuanzong Imperial Case Ink, Japanese Dragon Fragrance Agent (CD Record)": "Tang Xuanzong used hibiscus flower juice fragrance powder as imperial ink, called Longquan Medicine".

"Xuande royal dragon incense ink!"

Wen Yiming put on his gloves and picked up the largest ink ingot, which was shaped like a cow's tongue and as hard as a gold stone, and his hand was extremely heavy.

"Could it be that I have a relationship with that fat man?" Wen Yiming remembered something, and said with a smile: "Last time, I followed him to pick up Hei Qinan, and this time I picked up Baolong incense ink from him, it's really a guiding light!"

Thinking of this, he laughed, put away the dragon incense ink, and threw away the wooden box and other ink ingots. This time, you can't complain that the fat man's eyesight is not good, who would know that there will be a mezzanine in the wooden box?

deliberately used garbage ink ingots as a cover, if it wasn't for Wen Yiming, Long Xiangmo didn't know when he would see the light of day again.

He inquired on the Internet about the auction price of Longxiang ink in recent years, but there was no record in the past five years! The most recent one was sold for 1.2 million yuan ten years ago, and it was still the imperial dragon incense ink of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not a set.

"What a baby!"

Wen Yiming closed the computer, excitedly playing with Long Xiangmo, the six categories of antiques, and the four treasures of the study can only be regarded as miscellaneous. But once a genuine masterpiece appears, it will also have a fatal attraction for collectors.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the most valuable is the inkstone, the four famous inkstones have been passed down for thousands of years. Then there are ink ingots, which are very few, so they are rare and expensive. Pen and paper are mainly crafts, consumables, and are not of high value in terms of hand-me-down.

"Shoot!"

Wen Yiming decided to take the dragon incense ink to the auction, exchange it for cash and continue to study the incense, there are not a few copies of the meditation incense in his hand, the hundred years of red sandalwood are exhausted, and the ones that are more than a hundred years old are all antiques, and the value is higher, only the auction house is the biggest way.
