The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di and Song Hongyan squatted down on the ancient jade stall, and the stall owner began to introduce, his voice was very low,

"This is a raw material from Bianliang. It has been buried for a long time, and I dare not clean it up. Otherwise, it is not a good thing to be sued for such a large amount of ancient jade. It is definitely an old thing. As for whether it is good or bad, it is up to you Look at the eyesight of the two of you."

There are about [-] pieces of tatters on the ground, most of them are jade plaques, the shape of jade pendants, but the appearance is really bad.Wu Di picked up a jade tablet the size of a child's palm, and rubbed it vigorously with his thumb, but only some floating dirt came out.He weighed the sign and put it down.

It's really hard to find. Some of the ones that reveal a part of the body are indeed, as Song Hongyan said, either plastic or glass.Wu Di took a rough look, ruled out most of them, and picked out more than a dozen pieces for a closer look.

Song Hongyan also used this method, but he had already picked out one piece and put it aside. Wu Di saw that the whole piece was a lump of mud, so he didn't know how he picked it out.

What he is holding now is a jade card, the sticky soil is not thick, it can be seen that it is a four or six card, and there is a large piece of mung bean in the right corner of the top that is not covered.Wu Di scraped the nearby soil with his fingernails, and scraped out a blank piece the size of a peanut grain, which was green and white jade, which was really not easy!

After Wu Di continued to choose for a while, he changed positions with Song Hongyan. Song Hongyan shook his head and said:

"Everyone in Taobao is like this. Knowing that the hope is slim, they are not reconciled. They always think that they will be the luckiest one. Hehe, after so many years, I can't change it."

The stall owner suddenly sighed:

"This is the fun of antiques. Without this hard-won fun, I'm afraid most people won't play this."

Wu Di gave the stall owner a thumbs up, bowed his head and continued to pull.

Since Song Hongyan had seen half of the piles, Wu Di picked them more casually, and finished them in a short while without finding anything.Seeing that Song Hongyan was still looking for it, he piled the jade with his left hand. Good guy, there are quite a variety of jade, including granite.Suddenly, with a flash in his eyes, he pretended to open a small hole inadvertently, took out a round pimple covered with thick soil, and said with a smile:

"This thing looks like a steamed bun, boss, are you sure it's not a lump of mud?"

The boss sneered and said:

"Anyway, I collected it together. I don't know what it is. If you want it, it will be cheaper for you."

Wu Di weighed the weight and said with a smile:

"How much cheaper can it be?"

The boss carefully looked at the thing in Wu Di's hand, confirmed that it was a big lump of mud, and said with a smile:

"Give me any one."

"One piece? Ten yuan a piece?"

"Boss, you're kidding, it's not enough money for running errands! It's said that we have to pay management fees for setting up a stall. I sincerely want it, eighty, it really can't be cheaper."

Wu Di didn't speak, and waited for Song Hongyan to choose a piece.Song Hongyan chose another piece from Wu Di's pile. It was also a lump of mud. It seemed that he couldn't find any good ones. He planned to learn from Wu Di. If he was lucky, as long as the weight was similar, at least he wouldn't buy a piece of plastic.

It was four yuan in total. The boss asked for one thousand yuan, but finally returned it to three hundred yuan, and added another twenty yuan to make the deal.The sky is already bright, and many shops are about to open. A lot of small stalls in the morning market have left, and the rest are in places that are out of the way.Song Hongyan looked at the mud bumps on the two people's hands and said with a smile:

"Everyone said that you are invincible in luck, Xiao Wu, so I'll take a gamble this time! It's good to be with young people, but I was in the mood to pick up the dirt, and I spent more than half an hour!"

"Hehe, brother is not old, it's the golden time for a man. Let's go, go back and see the harvest."

The two of them went straight to Song Hongyan's office. There was everything there, and they probably could clear up these lumps.

Rinse with water first, and a lot of floating soil was washed away, but the soil was indeed mixed with glue. Song Hongyan began to mix the solvent, preparing to melt the glue, and taught Wu Di the ratio while mixing.Wu Di knows that this is everyone's untold secret, and he is even more grateful when he remembers it carefully.

Soaking a few mud bumps, Wu Di took out "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", flipped through it, and took out a plain stick, on which there were indeed two poems written in cursive.

A poem says: Thousands of life's mental strength sits and grinds.There is too much smoke on the paper

The proposed book storehouse is old now.It should only be said that ghost Edongpo

The second song: There is no difference between the cause and the effect, and there is a lot of ghosts in the trivia.

Spread the word to the disciples of Luorunmen.Barnyard officials did not join Confucianism

At the bottom, there is a line of small characters: Taoist Guanyi asked himself

It is the two poems included in "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes".

Song Hongyan picked up the paper, felt the material of the paper, and said with a smile:

"Looking at the handwriting, it should be Ji Yun's own handwriting, probably a draft at that time. This collector also has intentions, but he never thought that it would be sold at such a low price."

"Many older generations collect antiques, and there are no successors in their descendants. They can keep things when they are alive, and they will be exchanged for money when they leave. If this is not the case, there will be fewer antiques in the market."

"Hehe, today's harvest is good. Only this piece of paper is a big leak. Let's see if there are any other stocks."

Wu Di knew it was gone, but he couldn't tell, so he could only check it.After carefully reading page by page, Song Hongyan said with a smile:

"People can only progress if they are greedy. If everyone has no desires and desires, this society will be over."

"Excuse!"

"Hahahaha, come, let me have a look at my junior brother's tiles!"

The two of them studied the tiles all morning, and Wu Di learned a lot of things that couldn't be seen in books. When it was time for dinner, Song Hongyan smiled and said:

"You go to the boss's place some other day. There is only one piece of porcelain. Except Ge Kiln, other famous porcelains are included! It is enough for you to learn for half a month! Go, go to eat, and clean up those few pieces of mud when you come back."

The mud had been soaked soft, and it fell off after rubbing it a few times. Wu Di simply took the basin to the bathroom and rinsed it under the tap. After a while, he returned to the office with an empty basin and a smile.

"What? Got something?"

"Haha, I beat senior brother purely by gambling luck, and I accepted it."

"Yo, what else can't be done?"

Wu Di spread out his palm, and it was a jade tablet made out of his lump of mud, with a width of about four centimeters and a length of about six centimeters.Song Hongyan recognized it at a glance, and said with a smile:

"Siliu Zigang card? You have to take a good look at it. If it is Lu Zigang's handwriting, you will make it again."

"I don't think it looks like it, it looks like it was made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

There were a lot of Zigang cards in the Qing Dynasty, and the form was mainly imitated in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, some new features appeared. Stories such as "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and "Su Wu Shepherds the Sheep" are popular, and the characters are mainly engraved with opera and auspicious words.Secondly, the engraving in the Qing Dynasty was more refined than that in the Ming Dynasty, which sometimes seemed too cumbersome.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Zigang brand developed to a peak.At this time, the Zigang cards are generally four or six cards, especially those of the Zaoban office.Four or six cards mainly refer to the size of the brand. Generally, its width is about four centimeters, its length is about six centimeters, and its thickness is between 0.7 and 0.8 centimeters.Zigang cards in the Qianlong period often used lace.Another feature is that the eyelids of the characters are made with oblique knives, so the eyes are particularly energetic and have a strong sense of three-dimensionality.Cheekbones are generally prominent, so smile.The nose is generally a bulbous nose.Another characteristic of the Qianlong period is that it is particularly particular about the materials used, and generally whiter materials are used.

"This is made of Hetian Baiyu. The material is exquisite and the knife is exquisite. The tiger and Wu Song are very vivid. It should be something from the manufacturing office at that time. It's a good thing. Maybe the emperor played with it himself back then."

Song Hongyan looked at it repeatedly, and couldn't put it down. All the antiques are the same. When I see something I like, I can't wait to eat and sleep with it. Sometimes I feel closer than my children.

"Brother, if you can find out its origin, I will give it to you!"

"Is this true?"

"really!"

Hearing this, Song Hongyan excitedly took out a thick copy of "A Textual Research on Jade Wares of Past Dynasties", and said with a smile:

"You will be at a disadvantage now. I seem to have a vague impression. Where have I seen the records of this thing? That's right, the Qianlong Manufacturing Office of the Qing Dynasty, Yao Zongren, Zhu Yongtai... It is Yao Zongren's Wu Song beat the tiger Gang card, according to the records, Lord Qianlong may have enjoyed it. Haha, this is a big advantage for Xiaowu! You boy, with this luck, you don’t even want to be a treasure boy!"

Wu Di stretched his head to see, there really was such a sentence, shook his head and smiled:

"Send it to Shijia, the old man Han of the Forbidden City gave me a four-color Qin, I haven't played much until now!"

"Siseqin! That's a good thing. You must play with it often, otherwise the jade will be useless. I think the piece you wear around your neck is a gift from the master? I know this old man is partial, and I know that I like jade. , I just gave it to you."

Wu Di recalled the first time he met Mr. Chang, and said with a smile:

"This is the gift I got when I met Master for the first time. Too bad, Mr. Yang even gave me a pair of Wenwan walnuts. Where did I get them?"

The ground in Yanjing is evil. Just as I mentioned the scene when I first met Chang Lao, Zhong Qi called.

"Xiao Wu, do you still remember that we picked up stones in Changlao's Jade Lake?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Is yours open?"

"No, I don't have a second neck strap."

"Hahahaha, let me tell you, the fourth brother will definitely win you this time, do you know what kind of jade came out of my stone?"

"At worst, it's a piece of suet white jade!"

"Damn! It's not fun to talk to you kid, so you won't cooperate and guess a few more times?"

Wu Di remembered that what Zhong Qi found was a piece of yellow wax skin the size of an egg, and he said that he had seen it three times in five years. Chang Linlin also had a piece of suet and white jade Ruyi pendant with yellow wax skin. It seemed that the two couples were really destined.

Wu Di recalled that what he and Yang Yanzhi found were all golden-skinned seeds, and his own piece was suet white jade. I don't know what Yang Yanzhi's is. Could it be that they are also destined?
