The most important premise of collecting antiques is to identify the authenticity of ancient and modern times, relying on eyesight. Whether it is an unearthed or handed down antique, the only way to identify it is to rely on the "eye" to observe. It is not easy to cultivate a pair of 'eyes', not only to observe for many years, but also to know how to observe the details. At the same time, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of history and craftsmanship of various periods. With these two things, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of treasure appreciation.

But anyone who loves to collect antiques has some experience in appreciating treasures. Therefore, when he heard that Shen Ao would also appreciate treasures, Zhou Zheng's interest came.

Shen Ao's level is several grades higher than Zhou Zheng's, he not only knows how to appreciate treasures, but also 'makes treasures', and pretends to be antiques that he eats. If you want to forge antiques, you must not only know how to appreciate treasures, but also not have the slightest mistake or omission in the historical details of antiques. In addition, the craftsmanship and materials of each era are also very particular.

For example, a world-famous Tang Sancai, to copy it, you must first understand its historical details, any historical records about it should not be missed, such as a certain period of who collected, a certain period of time was broken a corner, a certain period with someone into the ground. After that, it is the selection of materials, what is the level of craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty, how are the materials, and what is the atmosphere. And so on, all of which must be taken into account.

Shen Ao is a master of counterfeiting, so he is naturally not afraid of Zhou Zheng's temptation, wow, if Shen Ao can't identify antiques, don't laugh off his big teeth when they reach the ears of his peers in later generations?

However, before each appraisal, Shen Ao did not dare to take it lightly, at this time he rolled up his sleeves, carefully picked up the inkstone on the desk, and began to scam at every detail with a pair of eyes.

Identification of inkstone, the first thing is to see, this look is mainly to see its texture, technology, quality, inscription, the age of the inkstone has been a little long, the material is not transparent for the time being, but the process is excellent, there is an open atmosphere, the edge of the inkstone is smooth, it should not be the work of the Han and Jin dynasties, although the level of craftsmanship at that time has made great progress, but it has not yet reached this level. It is estimated that the age of the inkstone should be at the end of the Five Dynasties and the beginning of the Sui Dynasty.

There is no inscription under the inkstone, so it is inferred that this is not an inkstone for the court or princes. It is rare to see such a delicate workmanship but an inkstone for ordinary people.

Shen Ao suddenly became interested, and gently flicked his fingers on the bottom of the inkstone, and a heavy wooden sound came out, which was very thick. Shen Ao smiled, and determined that this should be Duan Yan, Duan Yan and She Yan are known as the world's famous inkstone, with stone solid, lubricated, delicate, delicate and well-known in the world, with the end of the inkstone grinding ink is not sluggish, the ink is fast, the ink is smooth, the writing is smooth and does not damage, the handwriting color remains unchanged, good Duan Yan, whether it is the heat or winter, press the inkstone with your hand, the inkstone is blue and green, the water vapor is not dry for a long time, there is a "Ha gas ink" said.

The sound of the end inkstone is the sound of wood, the sound of the tile is second, and the sound of gold is the bottom, and the sound of wood is just made, which shows that the material of this inkstone is excellent and valuable.

Shen Ao put down the inkstone and began to hesitate. This inkstone is very strange, obviously valuable, exquisite craftsmanship, but there is no inscription, except for the princes of the court, who has such financial resources to manufacture and use? Much history is often excavated from antiquities, and antiquities can be cited as circumstantial evidence for history, which is the charm of antiques.

The more doubts existed, the more excited Shen Ao became, and at this moment he seemed to have forgotten the existence of Guogong all of a sudden, and his eyes did not leave the inkstone, but he muttered in his mouth: "The inkstone is sunken, presumably the person who uses the inkstone is a well-educated person, and the texture is also very smooth, so the person who grinds the inkstone must be a woman, with gentle strength and considerable experience in grinding inkstones." ”

Extrapolating this, Shen Ao was even more puzzled, since this is the case, then the owner of the inkstone should be a nobleman, and his status is quite noble, if he is poor, grinding the inkstone is naturally done by himself, and the man's strength is great, so it will not be so smooth. But if it is a woman with a lot of experience in grinding ink, then this person should be a slave, a slave who specializes in grinding inkstones for masters.

The extravagance of the early Sui Dynasty was not opened, and Emperor Wen of Sui at that time was reluctant to even use a carriage. The best inkstone, coupled with the maid who specializes in grinding the inkstone, all this can prove that its owner has considerable power and is rich enough to rival the country. So, why is there no inscription? It doesn't make sense, since the family background is so noble, according to common sense, inscriptions are necessary, and the utensils of any big mansion will be engraved with inscriptions to show off their status.

Unless...... Unless the person wants to keep a low profile and encounters some kind of suspicion in politics. This suspicion is likely to be fatal, so that he does not dare to exceed it in the slightest.

Shen Ao immediately smiled bitterly, it doesn't make sense, and he didn't engrave any forbidden words on the inscription, what is there to overcome, unless this person is a bow and a snake shadow, or is it ......

"Yes." Shen Ao was ecstatic, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "In the early days of the Sui Dynasty, I actually forgot about this period, there is no mistake, it is him." ”

Shen Ao finally came back to his senses, looked at it, and saw Zhou Zheng looking at him with a smile and a twisted beard. This look is very ambiguous and meaningful.

What's going on? Shen Ao suddenly felt a little chill down his spine, looked left and right, and realized that he didn't know when he was sitting on Guogong's Taishi chair, and Guogong was 'driven aside' by himself, and he was noisy.

With an embarrassed smile, Shen Ao hurriedly got up from the Taishi chair and said, "Grandpa forgive me, Shen Ao is really dead." ”

Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "In life, it is inevitable that there will be preferences, there will be preferences, there will be obsessions, and if there is obsession, I will naturally forget etiquette, how can I blame, speaking of which I used to ...... Ahem......"

Zhou was slightly red on his face, he couldn't go on, he was very embarrassed. I thought to myself, "What am I doing talking to a junior about this?" ”

Zhou Zheng introduced himself as half a confidant, and although Shen Ao did things recklessly, he was very satisfied. Second, Shen Ao is Chen Ji's apprentice, which makes Zhou Zheng look at him differently. The third is that Zhou Zheng found that he and Shen Ao actually have a common preference, and Shen Ao's words and deeds are absolutely impossible to pretend, looking at his various actions when identifying the inkstone, it has been proved that this posterity is a veteran.

Life is in the world, it is difficult to find a confidant, Zhou Zheng's mind changes very quickly, and he almost has to tell his past troubles, but fortunately stop in time, otherwise this face will not be able to hang up.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Could it be that the Duke of Feiguo also had the Meng Lang I am talking about today?" Let me think about it, the state is high and powerful, and there is nothing in front of ordinary people, if my guess is correct, it should be the official family who invited the grandfather to appraise the treasure, and the grandfather must have done something very embarrassing for a while. ”

Zhou Zheng laughed, did not deny it, it was a tacit acquiescence, and said with interest: "Have you tasted this inkstone?" ”

Shen Ao said firmly: "This is the best inkstone in the early Sui Dynasty, the material is mainly parrot eyes, the most amazing thing is that the parrot eyes show an emerald green color, I am afraid that the whole world, I can't find ten." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded again and again: "There's nothing wrong with it, but what is the origin of this inkstone?" ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Originally, most of the middle and upper-grade inkstones had inscriptions, but this inkstone did not, and it was only a hundred times more difficult to guess the identity of its owner." My grandfather tested me like this, which made me very embarrassed. He sold it first, and then said slowly: "Fortunately, I have some understanding of the history of the early Sui period, and this inkstone corroborates each other, and I finally think of a person." ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of expectations, and he hurriedly said, "You say." He is an expert, so he naturally understands that Shen Ao's words are not false, it is not easy for ordinary people to see the material, quality, and age of antiques, not to mention guessing the source without an inscription, if Shen Ao can say it, then his level is only enough to compete with a few treasure connoisseurs in Bianjing.

Shen Ao said: "Uncle Chen, grandpa, I don't know if I guessed wrong." ”

Zhou Zheng shot the case and said happily: "Sure enough, it was a hero who came out of a young man, and he was actually hit by you." ”
