    Because Longwei Inkstone is produced in Shezhou, it is called She Inkstone. In fact, there are many varieties of She Inkstone, and Longwei Inkstone is just one of them.

    If the story mentioned above ends here, the dragon tail inkstone in the story is just a good inkstone. The key is that it also has a certain mysterious color, otherwise the shopkeeper and Meng Zitao would not find it funny.

    It is said that more than a hundred years later, in order to spread the dragon tail inkstone to the world, Ye's descendants made a special trip to Shezhou City and dedicated the dragon tail inkstone to the county magistrate.  After the county magistrate used it, he was so impressed that he visited the inkstone master Li Shaowei and asked him to carve it carefully again. He carved the pattern of "dragon spraying water" on the inkstone and then went to Beijing to present it to Li Jing.

    Li Jing liked it very much after seeing it, so he set up an inkstone affairs officer in Shezhou and ordered Li Shaowei to take charge of the inkstone affairs, specifically cutting stones to make inkstones for use by the imperial court.

    Later, Li Jing passed on the dragon tail inkstone donated by the Shezhou County Magistrate to Li Yu, who was good at calligraphy.  Li Yu picked up the square inkstone and was about to add water to grind the ink to test the pen. Suddenly he saw a few drops of water spit out from the dragon's mouth, which happened to flow into the inkstone pool. He felt strangely strong and immediately poured out the water in the inkstone pool, but there was another drop of water in the dragon's mouth.  A few drops of water rolled out.

    This made Li Yu greatly amazed and said with emotion: "It is really a precious inkstone, the best in the world!"

    After hearing this story, everyone should understand why Meng Zitao and the others found it funny.

    First of all, they all felt that this story should be just a legend, and the inkstone in the story should not exist.  Moreover, even if the square inkstone in the story really existed, compared with the square inkstone of the middle-aged man, it would be far inferior in terms of carving, let alone other aspects.

    I heard the middle-aged man say unconvincedly: "Why can't it be a dragon tail inkstone? Look at this square inkstone. The material is as fine and smooth as jade. If you use it to grind ink, the ink will be like oil, and the water stored in it is difficult to dry up.  It's obviously similar to a Longwei inkstone."

    The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Lao Luo, your square inkstone is indeed good in terms of material, but the carving is really poor. The legendary dragon tail inkstone was carved by Li Shaowei. Can it only be of this level?  ? To be honest, it¡¯s normal for you to be interested in Longwei Inkstone, but you can¡¯t go crazy because of it, right?¡±

    The middle-aged man frowned and said in a bad tone: "What you said, when did I become possessed?"

    The shopkeeper said solemnly: "I won't say anything else. How much have you spent since you became obsessed with Longwei Inkstone? It's not millions, it's probably hundreds of thousands. Your family is rich.  I won¡¯t go into details. The key point is that your son asked me to borrow the down payment for buying a house. Is it appropriate for you to still buy it like this?¡±

    After hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly became angry and said loudly: "Didn't I just lend you 50,000 yuan? What are you doing? I will pay you back tomorrow!"

    As he said that, he took the inkstone, turned around angrily and walked out of the door.

    Tubao shook his head: "Lao Luo is really a bit ungrateful, so just leave him alone."

    The shopkeeper sighed: "After all, we are friends who have grown up together. If you can, you should always give some advice."

    Tubao couldn't care about this kind of thing, so he changed the topic: "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let me introduce you to Mr. Meng. This is my friend Han Siyan"

    Through Tubao¡¯s introduction, the two shook hands politely and exchanged a few words.

    After a while, Tubao got down to business and said with a smile: "Old Han, please go and take out the things."

    Han Siyan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys sit down for a while first."

    Seeing Han Siyan walk into the back room, Meng Zitao asked: "Tubao, what is going on, can you explain it clearly?"

    Tubao smiled and said: "Actually, the relationship between you and me, Old Han, is almost the same as what we have now."

    Meng Zitao understood: "Have you also saved him?"

    Tubao said: "Yes, that time when he went to the countryside to collect goods, others almost killed him when they saw the difference in wealth. It was a coincidence that the place he went to happened to be the village where my grandpa lived. I had something to go there that day.  , happened to meet him again, so I rescued him."

    Meng Zitao nodded, and then said: "Tubao, actually you don't have to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, just say it casually. As the old saying goes, it's more important to be polite than to be polite!"

    Tubao said solemnly: "How can this be casual? If it hadn't been for you yesterday, my life would have been lost. I'd rather die, but what about my whole family? To be honest, I also have a reputation for knowing myself.  I'm not a very good person, but I still know how to repay kindness."

    Seeing Tu Bao¡¯s insistence, Meng Zitao stopped talking, otherwise it would appear to be too pretentious. Besides, he would also keep this matter in mind.

    After a while? Han Siyan came back holding two boxes. Without saying much, he put the boxes on the table and opened them.

    Tubao said: "I learned from Master Shu that you like literary toys. Please see if you like Bili Li and this pair of porcelain pens."

    The pen lick, also known as the pen inkstone, is used to check the thickness of the ink or straighten the brush strokes. It is often made into a leaf shape.  A tool used to wipe off the ink before drawing, so as to avoid uneven ink shades between strokes.

    The term "Bi Zang" first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, the trend of studying and playing with the Qing Dynasty gradually became more and more popular. During this period, literati competed to compile books and write about the utensils in the study. Classic works include "Changwu Zhi" and "Kaopan".  "Remaining Things".  Especially in Tu Long's "Kao Pan Yu Shi", a total of 45 kinds of utensils are listed, and the pen is ranked eighth, which shows the status of the pen in the minds of the literati at that time.

    In the late Ming Dynasty, pen licking became a permanent fixture in the study room.  By the Qing Dynasty, with the rise of ink cartridges, the practicality of pen licks declined, and more of them appeared on the study desks of literati as ornamental objects. The shape and material also changed greatly.  In each period of the Qing Dynasty, great ingenuity was used in the shapes and patterns of brush licks. They paid great attention to details when making them, striving for elegance and auspiciousness, and fundamentally catered to people's aesthetic taste for viewing and playing.

    Just like the pen lick in front of you, the whole device is in the shape of a lotus leaf, with the edge of the leaf rolled inward, soothing and free, exuding a flowing rhythm.  There is a picture of Pisces carved in the heart of the lotus leaf. The fish has a long mouth, a fat body, a bifurcated and curled tail, and a vivid posture.  Details such as fish eyes, gills, pelvic fins, and tail are presented one by one, vividly.

    In addition, the pelvic fins of the two fishes are connected and the two tails are connected, which means "wealth and wealth are abundant".  There is a lotus handle on the back with the inscription "Yongzheng Year System" on it.

    This pen lick is not only exquisite in workmanship, but its most eye-catching feature is the use of furnace jun glaze.

    Due to personal preferences, although the Yongzheng dynasty was short-lived, its porcelain-making achievements can be said to be the pinnacle, especially the firing of colored glazes, both antique and innovative. The skills have reached a state of perfection, and many handed down products have become unprecedented.

    The furnace jun glaze was created and fired at this time. It is a low-temperature glaze fired twice in the kiln.  It is a two-color glaze technique, which involves spraying turquoise green glaze on the blue-glazed vessel body to achieve the effect of fine mottled spots after firing.  Lujun glaze gets its name because it is baked in a furnace at low temperature.

    The furnace jun glaze is mixed with powder, so it is thick and opaque. Its crystals show red, blue, purple and other colors and are melted together.  Among them, the red color is purplish, like the color of newly matured sorghum ears, which is called "sorghum red".

    "Nanyao Notes" of the Qing Dynasty records: "A kind of furnace jun, which is fired in the furnace. The one with red dots in the color flow is the best, followed by the green dots."  Sorghum red is a typical feature of the furnace jun glaze of the Yongzheng Dynasty. After that, it gradually transformed into blue, green, moon white and other colors in each dynasty, and sorghum red is rarely seen again.

    The glaze color of this pen lick is exactly the "sorghum red" furnace-jun glaze. The glaze surface is devitrified and moist, and the glaze color is deep. The flowing green glaze is mixed with red spots, like mountain mist and clouds, and is variegated. It transforms into a different kind of magnificence in the flames.  Make those who appreciate it intoxicated.  Moreover, the glaze flow is large, which reflects the characteristics of Jun glaze in Yongzheng Dynasty.

    It can be said that this pen lick alone is already very precious, worth about three to four million, and the remaining pair of porcelain pens are also treasures of the official kiln.

    ?The body of the pen is slender, smart and delicate.  The body of the pen has traces of burnt pins, which are neatly arranged and clearly identifiable.  The whole body is painted with clouds, dragons and bats. The cloud patterns are underglaze blue and white, and the dragon and bat patterns are painted in overglaze rouge. They are rich and gorgeous and complement each other.

    Each pen depicts two dragons, both with five claws, flying among the clouds, strong and mighty.  Bats are number five, with flexible and lifelike shapes.  Both of them have the inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" with overglaze red six-character seal script. The fonts are neat, neatly arranged, and well-preserved. They are rare and worth at least millions.

    Meng Zitao carefully appreciated these three things, raised his head and said, "Things are too precious"

    Before Meng Zitao could finish speaking, Tubao said first, "No matter what, it's not as valuable as my life!"

    Actually, Tubao was quite surprised that Han Siyan actually took out such a valuable thing.  He originally thought that Han Siyan would only bring out something worth about one million, but he didn't expect it to be such a treasure.  To be honest, when he saw these two things at first, he felt a little sad in his heart.

    However, Tubao is also a person who can take things and let them go, otherwise he would not insist on offering to thank Meng Zitao when Meng Zitao did not want him to repay him.  So he quickly got rid of distracting thoughts and no longer struggled in his heart.

    Meng Zitao declined a few more words, Tubao of course insisted on sending it away, and finally Meng Zitao had to agree.  However, Meng Zitao has decided that he must express something when he has the opportunity. Otherwise, he would be really embarrassed to take such a valuable thing.

    Since time has been tight recently, Meng Zitao was in a hurry to go back to Ling City to deal with things. He made an appointment with Tu Bao to wait until they had time to sit together, and Tu Bao agreed with a smile.

    After sending Meng Zitao away, Tubao pointed at Han Siyan and said, "Old Han, you are planning a surprise attack. Why did you take out all these things?"

    Han Siyan smiled and said: "You didn't say that, just try to pick up the good things and take them. What, do you regret it?"

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I thought you were uneasy and well-intentioned!¡± Tubao said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, I made an appointment with Tubao and waited for a while to have time to sit together. Tubao agreed with a smile.

    After sending Meng Zitao away, Tubao pointed at Han Siyan and said, "Old Han, you are planning a surprise attack. Why did you take out all these things?"

    Han Siyan smiled and said: "You didn't say that, just try to pick up the good things and take them. What, do you regret it?"
