Treasure Hunt all over the World

The exclamation subsided, and the living room became quiet again. All the family members looked at the golden nanmu box on the coffee table and watched Ye Tian's movements.

Ye Tian squatted beside the coffee table, snapped up the brass buckle on the front of the box, and then opened the golden nanmu box and presented it to his family.

There are two things in the box, both wrapped in red silk. You can't see the original appearance. You can only see the general shape, one is rectangular, the other is irregular oval, and the volume is small.

"Xiaotian, what exactly is it? The package is tight enough!"

The second uncle asked curiously, looking forward to things wrapped in silk even more.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, the answer will be announced immediately, I believe it will bring you a surprise"

With that said, Ye Tian took the irregular oval object out of the box and put it on the coffee table.

"Boom!"

When this object touched the solid wood coffee table, there was a muffled noise.

Judging from the sound, this object has a lot of weight.

After putting it in place, Ye Tian immediately began to disassemble the wrapped silk. Between three or two strokes, the piece of red silk was removed and put aside.

What is presented to everyone at this moment is a blue-black inkstone with an irregular oval appearance, simple and elegant shape.

The inkstone is solid, the texture is beautiful, smooth, delicate, and it gives people a delicate feeling. The inkstone surface is smooth as a mirror, and the surrounding is carved with a freehand painting of flowers and birds. The artistic conception is extraordinary! Obviously from the hands of the master!

Once this Fang Yantai was presented, it instantly caught the eyes of all the family members.

After a short pause, Ye Tian was about to introduce, but Grandpa's surprise voice has already been heard by everyone.

"Xiaotian, is this a Duan inkstone?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:

"Grandpa, your eyesight is really good! You can tell at a glance, yes! This is the Fang Duan Inkstone, and it is the old Keng Duan Inkstone of Zhaoqing, Guangdong, which has an extraordinary origin and is called a national treasure!

You always like calligraphy, and when you are free, you often splash ink in your study, or meet friends with calligraphy, but unfortunately, there has never been a satisfactory inkstone, which is a bit regrettable.

This Fang's top grade Duan inkstone is the baby that your grandson bought for you. I believe it can perfectly make up for this regret and allow you to sway the ink more heartily. I hope you will always like this gift! "

"I like it! Of course I like it! This is Zhaoqing's old kengduan inkstone! It's a rare treasure to meet and never ask for. It's so rare to show it to me. You must study it!"

Grandpa said excitedly, his excited eyes shone straight, extremely bright.

"But you have to be careful, this thing is very heavy! Don't slip off by mistake, then this Fang Duanyan must be fine. I'm worried about hitting you or grandma's feet!"

Ye Tian said with a light smile, holding up Duan Yan and gently placing it on his grandfather's lap to let the old man appreciate it.

"Don't worry! I'm not old enough to be able to take care of myself. How could such a rare baby slip out of my hands? Let me appreciate this baby!"

Having said that, Grandpa put on reading glasses, admired and started to admire the Fang Duan inkstone.

In a blink of an eye, an obsessive expression appeared on his face.

My father, my second uncle, and my little uncle all gathered around Grandpa and admired the Fang Duan inkstone together. Everyone was full of envy.

Obviously, they like this top grade Duan inkstone very much.

As a professor of the Chinese Department of Normal University, my mother naturally likes this square inkstone.

But she still restrained a little bit, and didn't come forward to appreciate it. Something was late, so there was no need to rush!

Grandma, second aunt, and sister-in-law were not very interested, so they looked back after a few glances.

Not to mention the three little guys, brother and sister, how interested can they be in a black stone? The baby they most want to see is not such a thing.

After enjoying it for a while, the second uncle said excitedly:

"Xiaotian, tell the story of this Fang Duan inkstone. This baby looks really good. It is indeed a Fang Duan inkstone, but we only know what it is, but we don't know why it is!

There must be a lot of stories hidden behind this elegant Duan inkstone, otherwise you would not say that this is a national treasure. Although Duan inkstone is precious, few can be called a national treasure! "

Ye Tian nodded with a light smile, and explained:

"It's normal for you to not understand the story behind this Fang Duan inkstone. After all, you are not professionals in the field of antique art collection and do not have expertise in this area.

Even professionals, not many know this Fang Duan inkstone! Next, I will tell you the origin and story of this Fang Duan inkstone, and you will understand why it is a national treasure! "

With that said, Ye Tian stepped forward and took the Duan inkstone from his grandfather, put it on the coffee table, and began to explain.

"First, let me talk about how I got this inkstone. Near my company, there is the largest flea market in Manhattan called the Chelsea Flea Market.

As long as I stay in New York, I will often go to this flea market when I am fine, at least once a week. This Fang Duan inkstone was found at the Chelsea Flea Market.

This Fang Duanyan originally belonged to an old American stall owner, but that guy was obviously a mallet with no eyes, and he threw this treasure in the corner of the stall, dismissing it at all.

One afternoon when I was visiting the Chelsea Flea Market, I accidentally saw this Fang Duan inkstone, and at a glance I recognized it as a Fang Duan inkstone, and it was a Duan inkstone with a history.

Apart from this, I don’t know any other information, but this is enough! Enough to make me firm in my determination to win this Fang Duan inkstone, who would be willing to miss this kind of baby?

Next, I pretended to have taken a fancy to another item on the stall, and immediately began to bargain with the stall owner, and showed a certain interest and desire to buy it.

After some bargaining, we basically reached an agreement, but at the moment of the final handshake deal, I claimed that the agreed price was too high and I was ready to go back!

At that time, the price was indeed inflated. It was about one hundred dollars higher. The stall owner and I knew very well that it was just a modern handicraft and the price was relatively clear.

In order to facilitate the transaction and earn the one hundred dollars, the stall owner deliberately delineated a range on his stall, and asked me to pick anything from it as compensation.

The Fang Duan inkstone is included in the delineation. Now that the opportunity has come, where would I miss it! Soon he shook hands with the stall owner and concluded a deal, and paid to take things away.

After walking some distance forward, I threw the handicraft to a stall owner I knew and asked him to help sell it. I took the Fang Duan inkstone and left the market.

When I went home, I cleaned it up carefully and restored the brilliance of Fang Duanyan. I checked a lot of information and dug up the story behind it to determine that this is a national treasure!

This is how I got this Fang Duan Inkstone. Strictly speaking, I bought this Fang Duan Inkstone for only one hundred dollars, which is very lucky! "

Many family members were already stupid, and looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, with eyes full of incredible and envy!

One hundred dollars to buy a national treasure Duan inkstone? how can that be? It's like a fantasy!

Even if it is an ordinary Duanyan, one hundred dollars is impossible! If you buy Duanyan at this price in China, you will definitely be beaten to death!

As soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, there was an exclamation in the living room.

"Brother! You are so cunning and thief! You actually bought a national treasure for 100 dollars. You are right. The stall owner is definitely an eyeless club, two hundred and five!"

"Hahaha, it's so interesting! Brother! Next time there is such a good show, we must broadcast it live. Even if we can't go to the United States, we can listen to it on the phone. It must be very funny!"

The exclamation came from several younger brothers and sisters, these guys are pistachios, and the emotions are always so exuding.

The adults restrained a lot, but they all smiled and were very happy.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Now I will talk about the story behind the Fang Duan inkstone and its value. After listening to the following content, you will understand why I say this is a national treasure of Fang Duan inkstone!

After many researches, I can say with certainty that this is a Duan inkstone belonging to the famous Ming Dynasty writers Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, who are known as one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty. It is of extraordinary significance! "

Before he could finish his words, Grandpa sprang up from the sofa, his eyes rounded and said loudly:

"What? This is the Duan Inkstone of Xu Wei, a great writer in the Ming Dynasty, Xiaotian, are you sure you made a mistake?"

Suddenly, grandpa's face was full of ecstasy, and he was a little bit too excited to hold on to himself.

Seeing his grandpa's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little worried, whether his body can withstand such a violent emotional shock, especially his heart!

Dad, second uncle, and little uncle were equally shocked, their eyes were so wide that they almost flew out of their sockets, their faces were full of ecstasy!

Of course, they couldn't believe it in their eyes.

That's Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty can never not know him!

Xu Wei is not only one of the most outstanding writers in the Ming Dynasty, but also a very outstanding calligrapher, painter, and opera artist, who has left many immortal works for the entire nation.

In addition to these dazzling titles, Xu Wei is also a strong military strategist and national hero! For the anti-Japanese made a wonderful work.

Not only were grandpa and dad and their faces full of surprises, but my mother was even more ecstatic, staring at the square inkstone on the coffee table, and didn't want to move away for a moment.

Xu Wei and Xu Wen are long! That is definitely an idol! This is true for everyone who studies Chinese and is engaged in Chinese education. No exception!

Grandma, second aunt, sister-in-law, and even Linlin, everyone's face was full of ecstasy.

Obviously, they all know Xu Wei's name and his place in the history of Chinese literature and the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Only Dongzi, Chenxi, and Betty were at a loss~www.ltnovel.com~ looking at the ecstatic family in front of them, looking at the dark inkstone on the coffee table!

Ye Tian got up and walked to Grandpa's side, held his arm, stretched out his hand and stroked Grandpa's back a few times, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa, don't get too excited. That's bad for your health. Just sit still and listen to me slowly explain the story to you, and the basis for my judgment!"

"Can you not be excited? Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! But whoever doesn't know him who likes calligraphy? That's the first person to calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty! It is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient and the modern are famous!"

Grandpa said excitedly, but he still obeyed Ye Tian's persuasion and sat back on the sofa again.

After Grandpa's mood calmed down a bit and the rest of his family's mood gradually calmed down, Ye Tian continued:

"Grandpa, I'm pretty sure that I didn't make a mistake in the identification, and I can't make a mistake! This is indeed Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang's Duan Inkstone, which he used in his later years.

The reason why I am so sure is supported by evidence. These evidences are not elsewhere, just above the Fang Duan inkstone. As long as you look closely, you can see it! "

"Ah! The evidence is on the inkstone? Didn't you see the font size on the inkstone?"

In the exclamation, everyone's attention once again focused on the Fang Duan inkstone.
