Chapter 53: The Heirloom of the Bag Drop
Chen Shubao was the emperor of Chen State in the Southern Dynasty, and when he was in power, he built a large palace, lived a luxurious life, ignored the government and politics, and feasted with his concubines and ministers at night, and made glamorous words. When the Sui army went south, they were afraid of the natural danger of the Yangtze River and did not think so.
The subsequent outcome was naturally that the Sui army entered Jiankang, and Chen Shubao was captured and taken to Chang'an, becoming the king of the fallen country. Although he has no way, he loves poetry and books, and his attainments are also very high. After arriving in Chang'an, Emperor Wen treated him with great courtesy, and every time he was introduced, he was allowed to stand in the ranks of the third-grade officials. From a king to a prisoner, Chen Shubao's life has naturally changed, and Huangyin doesn't want to think about it, so he can only drink and write some poems.
This makes sense, as a prisoner, but he is treated preferentially, he is enough to fight the best inkstone. On the other hand, his life is also precarious, for fear that Emperor Yang of Sui will turn his face, and he must not be cautious, so he did not even print the inscription, to show that he is just a cloth cloth common man and has no ambition.
It is rumored that Chen Shubao loved Duan Yan, and when he was not in the country, he repeatedly issued edicts to find the best end stone, so that at least eighty percent of this inkstone may have been made by Chen Shubao when he was in Chang'an, although Shen Ao was just guessing, but the reason is very sufficient.
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but applaud, the old owner of this Duan Yan was indeed Chen Shubao, Shen Ao was able to identify the material and quality of Duan Yan in a short instant, and even the old owner could guess it, as a collector, how could Zhou Zheng not be excited.
"Shen Ao, please take a seat." This time a word of invitation was added.
Face is earned by people, not other people's charity, if you want others to treat each other politely, rely on more than family background, and have a superb talent can also get courtesy. Shen Ao was not honestly afraid, sat down generously, and said, "This Duan Yan is indeed extraordinary, where did the grandfather collect it?" Duan Yan is Zhou Zheng's favorite thing, and at this time he deliberately said something he was interested in, which meant to bring him closer.
Zhou Zheng's eyebrows danced and said: "It's also interesting, when I came back from the next dynasty, I saw someone selling antiques, these antiques, in fact, most of them are fakes found out of nowhere, but there are also a lot of genuine products mixed in, the merchant is naturally unable to distinguish the real from the fake, and he collects some strange things from the countryside to sell." At that moment, I was very interested, so I stopped the sedan chair, and planned to take a look at it at random. ”
"Who knows......" Zhou Zheng laughed when he said this, and said very satisfied and proud: "I fell in love with this inkstone at a glance, and took it home to taste it, and I also had the same doubts as you, but I still can't catch up with you in terms of tasting, and then invited a few great experts to ponder together for a few days, and finally remembered Uncle Chen's treasure." For this reason, I flipped through a lot of ancient books overnight, and finally found some circumstantial evidence. ”
After a pause, his eyes showed appreciation for Shen Ao: "I didn't expect you to guess his origin in just half an hour, this kung fu is not only excellent eyesight, but I am afraid that you have also read a lot of ancient books." ”
Although he is a national prince, Zhou Zheng's other identity is also a collector, and buying treasures with a lot of money is actually nothing. It's just that the origin of this Duan inkstone makes him talkative, obviously getting satisfaction in the process of Taobao.
The most noble collector finds a treasure among a pile of fakes and buys it for a very small price. This kind of psychological pleasure is far stronger than that of Heavy Gold Purchase.
Shen Ao said: "In the past, when the family road was not yet falling, there were many books in the house, and I was still young at that time, although I was not in the world, I would occasionally go to read them. ”
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but say: "In this way, your family background must not be simple. ”
The books of this era are very precious, not to mention ancient books, Shen Ao said that he has read a lot of ancient books in his home, and Zhou Zheng deduced that his family background is by no means just a well-off family. Shen Ao could only smile slightly, which could be regarded as a default.
In fact, in the later generations, not to mention hundreds of ancient books, even thousands of them, for Shen Ao, it is just a handy, in order to learn to appreciate treasures, he has long forgotten how many related books he has read.
Zhou Zheng was full of interest, and he didn't expect that there was such a treasure in the house, so he taught Shen Ao to help him identify a few newly purchased antiques, Shen Ao did not refuse, and showed their materials and quality one by one, Zhou Zheng could only describe it with admiration at this time, took off the ring on his hand, and carefully handed it to Shen Ao and said: "You come to see this ring, what is the difference." ”
Shen Ao smiled slightly, this ring is the treasure at the bottom of the Guogong box, he let himself identify it, most of it has a little show-off component, so he carefully pinched the ring and gathered in the bright light in front of the pane, and looked at it seriously.
This ring is very quaint, it is actually carved from rosewood, and then inlaid with turquoise, the texture of the whole ring is smooth, carved and hollow, extremely fine. The surface of the rosewood seems to be brushed with a light layer of grease, which should be used to prevent moisture, and the age is obviously a long time ago.
I have never seen such a ring. In fact, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that wearing rings gradually became popular, and even more recently, it was only circulated in the court. Looking at the craftsmanship of this ring, there is a Jin style, and the age should be in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Such exquisite, and the choice of sandalwood ring, is really one in ten thousand, rare in the world, its moisture-proof technology, as well as the selection of materials are unique, I am afraid that even in the future, it may not be able to make a wooden ring that does not rot for hundreds of years.
After sighing, Shen Ao hesitated again, and the court ......
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, only the court wore rings, and most of them were worn by female surnames, and female surnames wore rings to remember things, and rings were a sign of "forbidden" and "precepts". At that time, the emperor had three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines, and the eunuch wrote down the period when she accompanied the king, and wore a silver ring on her right hand as a mark. When the concubine was pregnant, she informed the eunuch that she would wear a gold ring on her left hand to show her precepts.
Then, this ring must also be related to the court, interesting.
The deeper the hidden story behind the antique, the stronger Shen Ao's combat power and interest, a rare sandalwood green pine ring in the world, which is enough for Shen Ao to study carefully.
The court, the court...... It is also the ancestral heirloom of Zhou Zheng, the Wei and Jin dynasties...... Last name......
You have to think about it and check it slowly. Shen Ao looked up at Fang Liang, but somehow, he was addicted to seeing Fang Liang, and he couldn't change it for a while.
What! There is a spider web on the beam, God, this is the beam of the study of the dignified country, it is incredible, this spider is so bold, Tai Sui's beam is groundbreaking.
Adversity...... It's better to concentrate on something urgent, Shen Ao fell into deep thought.
Many figures in history came one after another, surnamed Zhou, surnamed Zhou...... Shen Ao remembered a person, Zhou Yu, no, it should be Zhou Yu's son Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin is not famous, the only thing that is famous is that there is a famous Lao Tzu and a small famous wife, his wife's surname is Sun, and she was the clan of Wu at that time.
Could it be that Zhou Zheng is after Sun Yin, so many things can be understood, such as Zhou Yin's wife is a princess, who grew up in the court, and she likes rings. Since she likes it, she naturally can't wear the gold and silver rings of the concubines. After all, the identity is different, and the etiquette still has to be there. Then the Sun family customizes a wooden ring by himself, so that it is used to distinguish it from the concubines, and after marrying the Zhou family, it is common to pass it on to his children and grandchildren.
At that time, owning a ring was an extraordinary thing, after all, it could prove that the family had court blood, so it made sense for the Zhou family to regard it as a treasure. Now that it has been passed to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng is already fond of antique collection, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
This is just an inference, of course Shen Ao is not completely sure, boldly assuming, careful verification is originally the professionalism of a treasure connoisseur, at this time he finally figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of Zhou Yu, Shen Ao couldn't help but think of a poem, and slowly chanted: "Beautiful and respectful, born when it came out." Yu Wu Dingba, competing with Wei. Wulin broke the enemy, and Chibi Chen soldiers. So Xuande, called Yu Shiying!"
That beautiful Gongjin blurted out, Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up, and when Shen Ao finished groaning, Zhou Zheng applauded and said, "Needless to say, you have guessed its origin." ”
Shen Ao smiled very reservedly: "I didn't expect Guogong to be Zhou Gongjin, it's really surprising." ”
Zhou Zheng laughed loudly, it is naturally a glorious thing to have a world-famous ancestor, and it is very intoxicating.
Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore, and only heard Shen Ao say: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this ring is fake." ”
"Fake?" Zhou Zheng was shocked, and said: "What credentials do you have, don't talk nonsense." He was frightened by Shen Ao's earth-shattering words, and he was half-convinced, this is a family heirloom, if it is true or false, it is not a joke.
