Play treasure master

Chapter 545
This thing is in the hands of an old man at this time, squatting down and holding it in front of his eyes to observe the light.That's why Yu Yao and Lao Zhou are easy to notice.

What the old man is holding is an inkstone, which is rectangular in shape, with hexagonal auspicious cloud pattern on the edge, and the concave part of the inkstone pool has a ganoderma-shaped outline.

Look old.

However, among the ancient inkstones, Duan inkstone and she inkstone are the best, together with Taohe inkstone and Chengni inkstone, they are called the four famous inkstones; but this inkstone is not one of the materials of the four famous inkstones.At the same time, it is not other well-known purple gold stone, red silk stone, chrysanthemum stone and so on.

Although it is not a common inkstone variety, it is light green in color and as warm as jade.

There are inscriptions on both sides of the inkstone, but Yu Yao can't see clearly.Although he couldn't see it clearly, but judging from the carving, Yu Yao concluded that it was definitely not an ordinary folk craft.In the simplicity, the ingenuity seems clumsy.

At this moment, Lao Zhou couldn't help looking at Yu Yao, Yu Yao nodded immediately, and Lao Zhou squatted beside the old man, looking casually at the things on the stall, but his eyes were mainly fixed on the inkstone in the old man's hand, hoping that he would soon Let go.

The old man looked at it for a while, and still asked the owner of the tight inkstone, "Boss, what material is this inkstone made of?"

"I don't know about that." The stall owner, a yellow-faced man in his 40s, sniffed, "This is from the Northeast. It must be an old thing, and it looks pretty good."

Naturally, Yu Yao had already seen the material, and nodded slightly when he heard the stall owner said that it was collected from the Northeast.

"Northeast?" The old man chuckled, "You still traveled so far to receive the goods?"

"My wife's family is in the Northeast, and my brother-in-law is still in the furniture business there. Once, he picked up a batch of miscellaneous old goods and sent them to me together." The stall owner explained.

The old man smiled slightly, "This inkstone is not a precious stone, and it can't even be called famous. Let me give you the lowest price."

"Give me 1 yuan, and I can reach the Qing Dynasty anyway." The stall owner responded.

"There were a lot of inkstones in the Qing Dynasty, and the ordinary Duan inkstone was only [-] to [-]. You are too tall."

"Not high, this kind of stone is rare, and the carving is so beautiful!"

Yu Yao thought to himself, the stall owner's stall only had such an inkstone, it seemed that he really didn't understand, and judging from the tone of the quotation, the price might not be high; but this old man obviously knew how to do it. Knowing that he was pretending to be confused, when the stall owner offered [-] yuan, his eyes were filled with joy, and he probably wouldn't let go of this thing.

Sure enough, the old man made three lectures and two lectures, and finally sold it for 6000 yuan.This is because Lao Zhou kept glancing at the side, he was a little unsteady, otherwise he could have fallen a little further.

"Is there no box?" The old man asked after the payment was settled.

"Yes!" The stall owner rummaged around and took out a square brocade box, which was about the size of an inkstone.

"I said it was the original box."

"Hey! It's definitely not there. If there is, I'll put it out together. Add an original box, at least 1000 yuan more!"

"Okay!" The old man nodded, put the inkstone into a brocade box, put it in a plastic bag, and left with it.

Lao Zhou glanced at the things on the stall resentfully, then got up, "Let's go too!"

Yu Yao smiled, walked a few steps side by side with Lao Zhou, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you understand?"

"This is a pine flower inkstone. Judging by the craftsmanship, it is likely to be something from the Qing Palace!"

Yu Yao nodded, "That's right. If you get close, can you see the inscriptions on both sides clearly?"

"The inscription is regular script, with a knife instead of a pen, and its skill is profound. One side is engraved: longevity is ancient, quality is moist, color is green and sound is clear; Engraved a seal."

Lao Zhou couldn’t help but sigh again, “It’s a good thing. Songhua stone inkstones disappeared after the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although mining was resumed in the late 70s, it is incomparable with the old inkstones. It’s a pity, a pity! It’s a step too late!”

Songhua Stone, from Jilin in Northeast China, was used relatively late, and the inkstone was only made in the late Ming Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, it showed great splendor and was highly praised.It was also used as inkstone for the court and even for the emperor.

Of course, ordinary old Songhua stone inkstones may not be very valuable, but this inkstone looks like it came from the Qing Palace.

Yu Yao patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder, "What's on the seal?"

"This is in the old man's hand, and it's Xiaozhuan. I'm not very clear. There should be a ten thousand character." Lao Zhou pondered.

"Is it 'Wan Ji Yu Lei'?" Yu Yao asked immediately.

"Huh? It seems that there is one with few strokes, which seems to be the word 'ji'!"

"This is the imperial inkstone used by Kangxi! This old man really missed it!" Yu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A few, general machine; Wanji spare time, means what the emperor does in his spare time outside of his daily affairs.

Both Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty used tens of thousands of spare seals, which may be used as seals after imperial inkstone inscriptions.However, from Yu Yao's perspective, this inkstone should be from the mid-Kangxi period, so it is naturally older than the Yongzheng period.

After hearing what Yu Yao had said, Lao Zhou slapped his thigh, "Why don't you go to the old man and buy it?"

"This inkstone doesn't have the original box, so it can be worth 40 to 30 yuan after the price is reduced; this old man seems to be a knowledgeable person, even if he sells it, he can't offer a low price, it is estimated that it will cost at least [-] yuan." Yu Yao replied. .

Lao Zhou pursed his lips, "I ran into a leak, and I noticed it, but it turned out to be a step late, huh!"

"You think, if the old man hadn't held it in his hand, we might not have noticed it when we walked over! And how many times have you visited this Seven Star Bridge? It's a good thing, because of fate."

After hearing this, Lao Zhou felt a little relieved, "Yes, the right time, place and people are in harmony. If one thing is missing, nothing will happen."

"Well. You are considered a veteran, so don't mess up your mind."

Yu Yao didn't say any more, he also understood that Lao Zhou's behavior had something to do with the fact that he even picked up and closed two loopholes when he came up; but these two loopholes, with Lao Zhou's eyesight, he couldn't pick them up. .And there were so many people around at that time, only after Yu Yao left, there were two people who got started, none of them were sure, and I can't blame others for missing the good opportunity.

The two continued to walk forward, and Lao Zhou started to become slower and thinner, but he never came across anything he liked.As soon as he was about to finish shopping, and was about to reach Yu Yao's stall at the other end of the stall area where he bought blue and white auspicious animal plates, Lao Zhou finally found another thing.

This is also blue and white porcelain, a flower goblet.It is basically a thin cylinder, the mouth and ring feet are slightly outward, and the picture is mainly cloud dragon pattern.

Old Zhou squatted down to pick up the flower goblet, and when he was free, Yu Yao also squatted down beside him.

Lao Zhou whispered to Yu Yao, "Do you still remember Zou Ning's pen holder? I think the painter's hair color is quite similar to that of blue and white."

Yu Yao smiled slightly, nodded slightly, "Take a good look first."

Zou Ning's pen holder is the Chongzhen official kiln where the dragon and the horse met; this one is just a portrait, but not the Chongzhen official kiln, but it is as cheap as that pen holder.

　The update during this period is really insufficient, some things are quite sudden, and I don't want to make excuses, let's do my best.But since it was promised, there will be no eunuchs and unfinished business.
