Nine hundred and thirtieth chapters have eyes but do not know gold inlaid jade
"What's wrong?" Li Weijun heard Qin Yu's startled voice and asked softly.
Qin Yu did not answer Li Weijun's words, but still walked towards the corner. This was the innermost corner on the left side of the second floor. There were very few things on this shelf, only one or two inkstones and a few brushes.
Moreover, these two inkstones were covered with dust, and they seemed to be dispensable items.
"Qin Yu, will there be good things here?" Li Weijun followed Qin Yu and asked with a frown when he saw the dusty shelves.
According to his opinion, the fact that these things can be left here to collect dust means that these things must not be valuable, otherwise Zhang Yuntian would not be able to let these things be placed here so casually.
"Qin Yu, don't you think that Zhang Yuntian deliberately placed the good things in an inconspicuous place and then used the dust to confuse us?" Li Weijun asked back.
"Why not?" Qin Yu looked at Li Weijun with a smile and asked.
"There is no need for Zhang Yuntian to do this. If he really wants to prevent us from getting good things, he can hide some good things first. We don't know his collection anyway, so there is no need to make it so complicated, right?
." Li Weijun expressed his opinion.
"Then what if the Zhang family didn't discover it themselves." Qin Yu said something very meaningful, leaving Li Weijun stunned on the spot still thinking about the meaning of his words, while he stretched out his hand and put the shelf
I picked up a writing brush on the table.
This is a purple-haired Xuan brush. The so-called purple hair refers to a brush made of dark black and purple rabbit hair. Because rabbit hair is relatively hard, it is called a hard Xuan brush.
Xuan brush is one of the four famous pens in China, and Zihao Xuan brush is the king among them. Tang Bai Juyi once said in his poem "Changqing Collection. Zihao Bi": "Zihao brush is as sharp as a cone and as sharp as a cone."
Knife; there is an old rabbit on a stone in the south of the Yangtze River. It eats bamboo and drinks from the spring to grow purple hairs. Workers in Xuancheng pick them for pens. They choose one hair from thousands of hairs. Although the hair is light, the merit is very heavy. The name of the manager is full of annual tribute. The king is here and the minister is here.
Don't use it lightly, what will happen? I wish to give you the imperial censor of the East and West, and I wish to give you the right and left desks to live in. The pipes go into the golden gate, and the hair is removed from the white jade. If the minister has a treacherous official, he will report it, and if the king has a moving speech, he will write straightly. Daily life
Lang, who serves as the imperial censor, also knows that purple hair is not easy to change. Every year when writing in Xuancheng, the price of purple hair is as valuable as gold. Be careful not to play the ball in vain and lose your etiquette, and be careful not to record the lyrics in the air."
Although purple hair xuan brushes are valuable, there are differences. Generally speaking, those sent to the royal family are of the highest quality, while those written by high-ranking officials are also top-quality. However, there are also some purple hair that are sold to ordinary scholars. This kind of purple hair is sold to ordinary scholars.
The workmanship is naturally not that fine, and the price is still not very high.
Another point is that purple hair can be divided into north and south, but because the rabbit hair in the north is harder than that in the south, purple hair is more respected in the north. Therefore, the value of purple hair pens must be judged from two aspects: workmanship and origin.
The purple hair on Qin Yu's hand is made of soft wool and is obviously produced in the south. In addition, the carving of this rod is also very simple. It cannot even be said to be simple. It should be said that there is no carving at all.
It's just a penholder with nothing engraved on it, and the end is just inlaid with a piece of red mud.
"Qin Yu, this is very common. Even if it's an antique, I'm afraid it's not worth much." Li Weijun recovered, glanced at the purple brush in Qin Yu's hand, and said directly.
Although he doesn't know much about antiques, he has bought a lot of antiques, whether he keeps them for himself or gives them away. After doing so many times, he knows one thing, that is, the value of antiques is not judged by age. Even if he collects them now
For porcelain that is very popular in the market, if it comes from an official kiln, it is valuable, but if it is given to ordinary people for their own home use, it is not worth much.
The same goes for other types of antiques. Li Weijun knew at a glance that the pen in Qin Yu's hand was a defective product, or it was made at will by some small workers, maybe some poor person in ancient times.
The scholar had no money, so he made it himself.
"Uncle Li, this pen is not simple." Qin Yu smiled at Li Weijun and held the brush in his backhand. Li Weijun didn't see it. At this moment, white light flowed from Qin Yu's palm and entered the brush, all the way to the tip of the brush.
, that wisp of purple hair emitted a glistening purple light, but the purple light was very short, and Li Weijun was not able to detect it.
"Qin Yu, this is really a good thing?" Li Weijun couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw Qin Yu's confident smile. Is this purple hair brush really a treasure? It's just that the Zhang family has no eyes for gold and jade.
, let the pearl be covered in dust.
"I'm sure there is nothing better than this pen here." Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said with great certainty.
"If that's the case, then we can take two things and leave today." Li Weijun said with a smile.
"Take two?" Qin Yu glanced at Li Weijun suspiciously.
"If you just take this purple hair brush and leave, the Zhang family will think that you are unwilling to reconcile. Just watch, Zhang Yuntian will definitely ask you to get another one." Li Weijun said proudly.
"If that's the case." Qin Yu turned around and looked at the fifth shelf behind him, "The inkstone there is pretty good."
Qin Yu knew from the induction of the aura that apart from this purple hair brush, the aura of the inkstone was the most powerful. Of course, this power was compared to the other four treasures of the study, but it could not be compared with this purple hair brush.
The aura of this purple hair brush is almost equal to the combined aura of all the Four Treasures of the Study here.
"Okay, let's go there first."
With Qin Yu's prompt, Li Weijun glanced at the inkstone and motioned Qin Yu to walk in the direction of Zhang Yuntian.
"Brother Qin, Mr. Li, have you finished reading?" Zhang Yuntian saw Qin Yu and Li Weijun coming over and stood up from his chair. However, when his eyes fell on the purple hair brush in Qin Yu's hand, he
I was stunned.
"Mr. Zhang, I know that the Zhang family is engaged in the Four Treasures of the Study business. I just went shopping and found that this purple hair brush is good. In addition, I have recently fallen in love with calligraphy. I was looking for a brush to practice calligraphy. I didn't know that Zhang
Can the old man give up his love and sell it to me?" Qin Yu saw Zhang Yuntian's stunned look and knew that Li Weijun had guessed everything.
"Brother Qin, this purple hair brush is nothing. If you want to practice writing, I have other brushes here, including Hu Brush Xuan brushes. How about I recommend another one to you?" Zhang Yuntian frowned and suggested.
"Forget it, Mr. Zhang's brushes here are all antiques. I just practice my brushes. How can I be willing to use such a good brush." Qin Yu smiled and refused.
Zhang Yuntian was embarrassed. In his eyes, this purple hair brush was not considered an antique at all. The Zhang family relied on the Four Treasures of the Study. He knew very well that this purple hair brush was not even considered a defective product. It was not considered a defective product at all.
Not worth much money.
He also believed that even if the two people in front of him didn't understand the four treasures of the study, they should know that this purple hair brush was worthless just based on its appearance. Did they really not intend to reconcile?
"Qin Yu, I think the Zhang family is quite good, and Mr. Zhang is very hospitable. Otherwise, if you want to practice calligraphy, you can't just have a brush. Otherwise, you can choose an inkstone." Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Li Weijun came over.
At this time, he interrupted.
After hearing what Li Weijun said, Zhang Yuntian was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy, he cast a grateful look at Li Weijun, and quickly said: "Mr. Li is right, just having a pen is not enough, little brother Qin
You might as well pick another inkstone.”
"Okay then." Qin Yu looked a little reluctant, but in fact he was already laughing in his heart. This was a trap designed by him and Li Weijun. This Yuntian got in without even knowing it.
He also has to thank them for giving him this opportunity.
"This inkstone is not bad, it looks pretty good." Qin Yu didn't hesitate anymore and walked directly to the inkstone with the second strongest aura and picked up the inkstone. Zhang Yuntian saw Qin Yu pick up the inkstone.
It was an inkstone, but the corner of his mouth twitched several times.
"Mr. Zhang, how much does this inkstone and this purple hair brush cost? I bought them." Qin Yu turned around and asked after holding the inkstone and purple hair brush in his hands.
The moment Qin Yu turned his head, he just caught the look of pain on Zhang Yuntian's face. He knew that this inkstone was worth a lot of money, and Zhang Yuntian probably didn't expect that he would pick the most valuable one here at a glance.
thing.
"Brother Qin is joking, my Zhang family has a rule, that is, if you meet someone who loves calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting, you can give him some Four Treasures of the Study. Since little brother Qin is interested in calligraphy, I gave him this inkstone and purple hair brush."
Brother." Zhang Yuntian's heart was bleeding, but he still had a smile on his face and said to Qin Yu.
"Then why are you so embarrassed?"
"This is the rule of my ancestors of the Zhang family. My ancestors of the Zhang family have given the Four Treasures of the Study to many people, including ordinary scholars and some famous calligraphers and painters in history."
"Moreover, Ziyun offended Brother Qin, so this can be regarded as an apology to Brother Qin. Brother Qin must accept it."
"Qin Yu, since Mr. Zhang said so, just accept it." Li Weijun helped Zhang Yuntian.
"In this case, I will not be disrespectful to Mr. Zhang." Qin Yu smiled, and Zhang Yuntian also laughed with his smile, while Li Weijun also smiled. The smiles of the three of them had different meanings, but only Zhang Yuntian smiled.
Yuntian's smile was an extremely bitter smile.
"Qin Yu, you didn't even see that Zhang Yuntian's face turned dark. When I picked the inkstone, I paid special attention to his performance, and his expression froze almost instantly." Zhang came out.
Home, Li Weijun started the car and gloated towards Qin Yu.
"Hey, Uncle Li, I want to thank you very much this time. I'll give you this inkstone. I only want this purple hair brush." Qin Yu said with a smile. (To be continued)
