The ink in the box has different shapes, some are long, some are round, some are square. Four of the ink ingots seem to be old ink that has been around for a certain period of time, and they must have been produced for at least a hundred years. The reason why Chu Chen made this judgment is that no matter how glossy the ink ingots are when they are originally made, after hundreds of years, the surface will naturally show a primitive color due to damage from collection, wear and tear from playing, and erosion from the air. Over time, its color becomes older and duller. In terms of performance, the new ink is grayish, thick but not bright enough; the old ink is pure black and bright, with a rich color feel. The new ink has a lot of uneven glue, and the ink color will appear thick and uneven. The old ink is made with strict methods and has been used for a long time, so the glue is naturally even and solid, the ink color is smooth, and the pen is not sticky. Therefore, Chu Chen could tell at a glance that these pieces of ink should be more than a hundred years old. Of course, even though Mo is old, the old man's son cannot compensate Chu Chen with particularly good ancient ink. These pieces are just ordinary ink ingots from the late Qing Dynasty worth two to three hundred. Except for these four old ink ingots from the late Qing Dynasty, Chu Chen was a little confused after taking a quick look at the remaining ink ingots. This ink ingot is rectangular, about ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide. One end of the ink ingot looks like it has been used, and the gold and inscriptions on the surface have almost faded away. It is difficult to clearly see what is underneath. What is written. The reason why Chu Chen thought this piece of ink was weird was because it looked like it had broken lines on its surface, just like lacquered clothes with broken lines. Qiyi ink is an ink ingot with paint applied on the surface. Qiyi ink was popular during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, while Kangxi ink in the Qing Dynasty was rare. It became popular again during the Qianlong period. However, after the late Qianlong period, the lacquered clothes and ink were more than glossy and beautiful, but not thick and simple. The painted edges of the ink also show the characteristics of different eras. In the Ming Dynasty, most of them had lacquered edges on the top, bottom, left and right sides, and the front and back were in natural color. In the Qing Dynasty, the edges on both sides were mostly painted. The sides are left unpainted top and bottom. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As long as the lacquer-cloths are made of ink, have a thick and broken patent skin, which is similar to that of a guqin. But the broken lines are definitely not cracks. There are lines but not cracks. They are hidden between the patent leather, which is similar to the opening of ancient porcelain. As for the authenticity of the broken pattern, it is also easy to identify. Just use a magnifying glass to observe where the broken pattern of old ink is. It is buckled internally, while the new imitation is buckled externally. However, Chu Chen observed carefully and found that there was no paint coating on the surface of this ink ingot. The broken lines on the surface should actually have been made during the production. In addition, this ink ingot looks to be performing really well, and it doesn¡¯t look like it has been stored for a long time at all, so. It gives the impression that this piece of ink is simply an old fake. But Chu Chen felt that this ink ingot was not simple, because the breath of time deposited on the ink ingot could not be faked at all. but. He is not good at identifying ancient ink, and time does not allow it now, so he simply uses his superpower. The results given by the supernatural power shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped. Chu Chen put the ink ingot back into the box with a calm expression. Then he said with hesitation: "Uncle, these ink ingots of yours are indeed good. And almost all of them are from the late Qing Dynasty, but they are just ordinary inks at that time!" In fact, the old man did not want to sell the things to Chu Chen. He wants to come back again, and since Chu Chen is so powerful, how can the value of the things he likes be low? How can it be so easy for Chu Chen to withdraw the things? But the son at home was forcing him, and his wife kept making troubles. Even if he didn't want to do it, he couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, the old man felt that he was caught in the middle and suffered from both sides. He really didn't want to go on like this anymore, so he took off a pendant from his neck, put it in front of Chu Chen, and said: "Brother , This small jade plaque was left to me by my father when I was a child. If you like it, take it! Please help me!" During the conversation, the old man looked at his jade plaque and flashed it. A look of reluctance. The old man¡¯s jade plaque is carved from yellow-skinned jade and is oval in shape. The front is lightly engraved with a picture of a forest man raising a crane, and the back is engraved with landscape, water, turquoise and stone. This jade tablet is smooth and round, with clever artistic conception and colorful colors. It should be a masterpiece of the late Qing Dynasty and is quite rare. The current market value should be around 80,000. The old man took out this jade token. On the one hand, he probably didn't know the value of the jade token. On the other hand, he probably was forced to do nothing. It must be said that Chu Chen also likes this jade plaque, and he is also reasonable about this matter, but there is a way and there is a way. He has already had an unexpected joy, and then he takes the old man's piece. Jade card, it seems greedy. "Uncle, I know it's not easy for you. I can't take this jade token. You'd better take it back" Seeing that Chu Chen didn't want the jade token, the old man thought Chu Chen wouldn't agree to return the thing to him, and he suddenly became anxious. , Chu Chen said quickly: "Uncle, listen to what I have to say, where are the things?"?I can return it to you, but I also have a request. These two items cannot be sold in the capital, otherwise, I won¡¯t be polite! " "Brother, do you agree? "After getting the expected result, the old man couldn't believe it. "Yes! "Chu Chen nodded and said straightforwardly: "Uncle, there are still my friends over there. I'm not going to say more about this matter. Let's hurry up" Although Chu Chen got an unexpected surprise, the matter One code equals the other. He really didn¡¯t like the old man¡¯s behavior, so he immediately issued an eviction order. ¡°Okay! Okay" The old man understood this very well and immediately took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Chu Chen. "That's right! Uncle, let's sign an agreement to save ourselves from trouble in the future! " When the transaction was completed and the old man was about to go back, Chu Chen thought of the strange idea of ??the old man's son, and thought it would be safer to sign an agreement. The old man also understood what Chu Chen meant, and his old face couldn't help but blush, but there was nothing he could do. Who told him to justify his loss? ! After the old man left, Chu Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "It's such a vast world, full of wonders! " With a sigh, Chu Chen originally wanted to study the ink ingot carefully, but thinking of his friends next door who had been waiting for a long time, he picked up the box and prepared to study it later. However, just as Chu Chen walked over When he was at the door, he saw Uncle Wu, Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi walking in from the door. Chu Chen quickly greeted the three of them with a smile, and then asked Uncle Wu: "Dad, how was your harvest today. ? " "Hi! Forget it, it was really depressing to be beaten to the punch by others and not even get a sip of the soup in the end. "Zhao Xueyi replied first. "Zhao Xueyi is a professional broker, and he must have a lot of work digging out old houses. Today, the three of them just came back from buying houses. It seems that the situation is not good. "Chu Chen felt a little sad when he heard what he said. Fortunately, Zhao Xueyi also informed him, but today he had to give Zhenzhen treatment, so he declined. Now it seems that there is no need to waste time. Zhu Dafu waved his hand and said: "Hey! Forget about this kind of bad luck, Xiaochen, looking at you like this, it seems like you got something good! " Chu Chen asked a little strangely when he heard this: "No, how can you tell that I made something good? There is nothing written on my face. "Zhu Dafu laughed and said: "You said you haven't written yet. I see that the corners of your mouth are almost reaching behind your ears! " Chu Chen pinched his mouth and said, "Is it really so obvious? " "Okay! Whether it's obvious or not, just look at yourself in the mirror. Now let's take a quick look at your baby! " Zhao Xueyi said impatiently. Chu Chen chuckled, and then opened the box. In an instant, the contents inside were displayed in front of everyone. "Hey, it's Gu Mo! "Uncle Wu let out a light sigh when he saw the contents in the box. However, after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but frown. "These ink ingots are old enough, but they are all ordinary. Ink ingots, and now that the price of ink ingots is getting lower and lower, this kind of ink really has no collection value! "Zhao Xueyi also frowned and said. "Since ancient times, our country has called knowledgeable and well-educated scholars "literati and calligraphers." The word "mokist" points out the importance of ink to scholars. In the ancient study room, a literati was chanting at the desk. When writing poems and poems, there is always a beautiful woman or scholar studying ink quietly. The ink that the ancients studied is what we call Jimo ink today. The ink is a product invented by modern people to save trouble. The ancients were very particular about using ink. Li Ruzhen, a great literati in the Qing Dynasty, only used the well water in the courtyard of the Confucius Temple in the capital to grind his ink. The ink was fragrant and his writing was smooth, so he wrote the novel "Flowers in the Mirror". I think, aren¡¯t they all ink? How can there be such a big difference between ink and ancient ink? It is true. First of all, ink itself is a silent material language, and the works created by ink and ancient ink are different. In addition, it is said that the color of ancient ink remains unchanged after hundreds of years, while modern ink will have color differences in just a few decades. It should be said that good ancient ink is very important for calligraphers and painters, but ancient ink is a consumable product. Moreover, the role of ink is only reflected in its use. In terms of collection, it is only a niche product. It is understood that the collection of ancient ink flourished in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Contemporary collection of ink is mainly concentrated in the 1970s to 1990s. . Judging from the past ten years, the ancient ink market reached a peak in 1997. In 1997, the price of ancient ink began to decline. Until now, that is, in 2002, the market price of ancient ink has been declining slowly. Although everyone present does not know that this round of decline will continue until 2006, they all know that under the current market conditions, it is not wise to collect ancient ink, especially ancient ink of average quality. s Choice. When Zhu Dafu heard this, he smiled and said: "Old Zhao, I don't think you should worry about Xiaochen. Don't think about it. How could he do a loss-making business with such a shrewd mind? If I read it correctly, this is There¡¯s something special about this piece of ancient ink!¡± As he spoke, he pointed at the ink ingot that looked like it had broken lines on its surface.
