Chapter 0569 Brick Inkstone (II)
Zhuang Rui for inkstone this kind of miscellaneous antiques do not know much, after hearing the words of uncle De, just thought that this inkstone is Wu Changshuo used only, not much care.
The so-called antiques, most of them are in the long history, after the celebrity play collection, although Wu Changshuo is a modern calligraphy and painting master, but not enough to make Zhuang Rui moved, if this thing is Wang Xizhi wash pen grinding used, Zhuang Rui may be surprised.
The rest of the people are also and Zhuang Rui a thought, but Zhao Hanxuan is not the same, he was doing the business of the four treasures, for the party recorded to the contemporary inkstone recorded inkstone but know very well, after hearing the words of Uncle De, almost rude a hand from the hands of Uncle De will snatch the inkstone over.
“The fourth month of nonwu gold pitch will hold gift. Huangwu’s bricks are firm and ancient, Zhuo Jie Sunlang left a piece of soil for my inkstone forest to be listed as the fifth. Cangshuo, my god, it really is the Huangwu brick inkstone made by Wu Lao himself.”
Zhao Hanxuan in the brick inkstone side end inscription of the words read out, face is full of excitement, Zhuang Rui in the side also understand, dare this thing is not Wu Changshuo collection, simply is that painting world master self-made ah!
“Mr. Ma, tell us about the origin of this inkstone?”
Qi Zhu saw Zhao Hanxuan excited look, no need to ask also know that this inkstone is extremely expensive, his father is a Confucian businessman, these years collected a lot of jade type of antiques, usually also hobby calligraphy, Qi Zhu would like to buy this side of the inkstone back to his father as a gift.
“Hehe, Xiao Zhuang, you are really lucky, you can actually find this object, this thing has been unknown since Wu Lao passed away, I didn’t expect it to be hidden inside the ancient city bricks.”
Uncle De sighed with emotion, in the inkstone collection, Wu Changshuo this square brick inkstone, absolutely can be ranked in the top ten, collection and practical value is great.
“This ink stone was originally a piece of the Three Kingdoms Eastern Wu period, Huangwu yuan years of the ancient city brick, this ink stone said gold down will be, is a person in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, for the people bold and chivalrous, good collection of antiquities, especially hobby ancient ceramic ancient bricks, encountered a cool love of the ancient bricks and tiles, such as pouring bag is not enough will also be borrowed to buy, intends to be sure to get.”
“Jin will learn that Mr. Changshuo cool love of ancient bricks, cited as the same way, please friends cited with the acquaintance, each other to the topography of antiquities flow, literature friendship day by day, and eventually for the friends, it is he gave this city brick to Wu Changshuo. In the eight years of Guangxu, Mr. Changshuo book to “road in tile tile” four word banner presented to the gold down will, down will be very happy. A few days later, on the ninth day of April, he reported the ancient pottery in his family’s possession, which was unearthed, around the time of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. Fou on no text, simple and lovely. Since the name ‘old fou’ ‘fou weng’ Mr. Changshuo very much cherish this fou, until after this fou long accompanied by the mausoleum. Just gold pitch will pass away soon after, let Mr. Wu Changshuo grief, Mr. Changshuo seventy-two years old with this brick inkstone try Mr. Dongxin hide ink, see things think of friends, old tears, can be described as pottery glazed tile of love, heaven and earth. So he cherished two objects in his life, one is the ancient pottery, the other is the brick inkstone you see.”
In fact, that year, the gold pitch will give Wu Changshuo’s ancient city brick more than one, the other one with the Han Jin Dynasty Jianheng two years brick made ink stone, is also extremely famous, but that piece is not Mr. Wu Changshuo handmade, so there is no this piece of ink stone reputation only.
After Uncle De finished his speech, the people looked at this brick inkstone, it seems that they can feel, more than a century ago, the kind of deep friendship between the two friends, for a while, the store became silent, even a few guests shopping for a literary house, were infected by the story told by Uncle De.
“Mr. Ma, this …… thing, it should also have a price, right?”
Qi Zhu’s voice broke the silence in the store, after listening to Uncle De’s introduction, she is more and more want to put this square brick inkstone to the bag, money is not a problem for her, her father’s company, is extremely famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang region a group, a few hundred million, she can afford to shell out.
“This …… is really hard to say, now the collection of ancient inkstone is more and more people, this party inkstone if on the auction, the starting price should not be very high, in about 100,000, but the transaction price is difficult to say, million are possible.”
Uncle De’s brow wrinkled, such an object is really hard to value it, the starting price is not telling, if you meet someone who likes it, it’s not a strange thing to throw away money in order to get it.
In recent years in the cultural relics auction market, some of the starting price of only one or two million yuan objects, often to the final price of up to a million dollars, in the eyes of Uncle Tak, this brick inkstone has this potential.
In fact, Uncle Te’s valuation is not very outrageous, because in the recent past, Wu Changshuo life collection of another side of the inkstone, on an auction, the starting price of only 50,000 yuan, and finally to 660,000 yuan price was shot away.
“This old gentleman is right, Wu old hand-made brick inkstone, I’m afraid that many people want to collect in the hands of, I want to not …… alas, I want to not out of something, this brick inkstone million I am willing to buy.”
Zhao Hanxuan loved objects, is nothing more than pen, ink, paper, inkstone, at the moment see this square brick inkstone, can not help but heart straight itch, like a cat’s claw scratching the general, even with the memory of their own was cheated away nearly ten million family things, that the roots of the teeth also unconsciously hate some of the itchy.
“God! This broken brick is worth a million dollars?”
“What broken brick, you did not see that is a piece of ink stone well!”
“Well, that’s right, this ink stone’s pulp is simple and moist, is a good thing.”
“2000 dollars to buy down, this young man can be sold for a million, really earn a lot.”
“Yes! Just now that surnamed Kong, is really a douchebag plus stupid, put a baby sold cabbage price, still complacent!”
“This store owner’s luck is really good!”
“What luck, others rely on the eyesight, you still do not recognize, he is the treasure identification program a few days ago inside the teacher Zhuang ah!”
“Mr. Zhuang, give me an autograph!”
“Yes! Russia is from Shaanxi, also saw Mr. Zhuang’s program, also give me an autograph!”
At this time, there is no need for Zhuang Rui to explain again, the store, the dozen or so people who saw the process of Zhuang Rui buy bricks from beginning to end, also know exactly who is a fool, these people for Zhuang Rui’s luck, are envious.
Some people will not think that Zhuang Rui is by virtue of their own eyes out, in the final analysis, Zhuang Rui is still too young.
Of course, know Zhuang Rui’s also not lack of people in, CCTV ratings really is not blowing, Zhuang Rui now in and out of the courtyard, will often be recognized by the neighbors to greet, but the roots of the Imperial City are more reserved, looking for his autograph is not.
“Thank you everyone, thank you, but this …… thing is not something I identified ah!”
In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Rui was surrounded by several tourists from out of town, and this was really the first time he had the feeling of being courted, but Zhuang Rui knew that although he could know that this thing was an antique, but if he didn’t have Uncle De, he wouldn’t have been able to talk about the heritage of this object’s origins at all.
Other people look up to you, only to find your signature, Zhuang Rui is also very serious in a few people’s book wrote his name, messy after seven or eight minutes, the store is considered quiet.
But this also brings a little benefit, is that those who took the signature, buy up things have become generous up, seven or eight people actually bought nearly 10,000 yuan of stationery, let Zhuang Rui sighed, dare this celebrity effect, really can be transformed into economic benefits ah?
“Zhuang teacher, I am quite fond of this brick inkstone, you see …… can not love, the price we can discuss.”
Waiting for the store less people after the point, Qi Zhu to Zhuang Rui put forward the intention to buy the ancient inkstone.
Qi Zhu’s father hobby collection of jade, but that a room of the so-called ancient jade, after being identified by Uncle De, basically are fake, although Uncle De did not explicitly, but others also guessed, so Qi Zhu later saw his father’s angry look, for the authenticity of the antique, is extremely attentive.
Nowadays, in the antique market, there are too few real things, it is rare to meet a gift that can be given to the father as a gift, and after the expert appraisal is a real object, Qi Zhu has already made up her mind to buy it.
“I’m sorry, sister Qi Zhu, one of my store’s main business is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, this inkstone I do not intend to sell, stay as a treasure of the store!”
Zhuang Rui even price did not open on the back of the Qi Zhu, for one thing, he does not lack of money, two such a very collectible ink stone, even if on the auction to find, all depends on the timing, now being sent to the people for nothing, Zhuang Rui to the inside of the pocket is not too late it, where will sell ah!
“Mr. Zhuang, I want to give my father as a gift, you see how the price of 1.5 million yuan?”
Qi Zhu is still a little undaunted, opened a her own heart’s highest price, Zhuang Rui if the door is open for business, should be sold, right?
“I’m really sorry, Sister Qi Zhu, I personally like this object.”
But to Qi Zhu’s disappointment, Zhuang Rui still rejected her, which let Qi Zhu also know that the other party is not short of money, I’m afraid that opening this store is also a playful nature.
“This lady, if you want to buy ancient inkstones, I also have a few good inkstones here, the price is much lower, but it’s absolutely genuine, you can consider it.”
Zhao Hanxuan was afraid that Zhuang Rui couldn’t resist Qi Zhu’s plea to sell the brick inkstone, and quickly spoke out to draw Qi Zhu’s attention away.
To say that Zhuang Rui does not sell this brick inkstone, the store is the most happy people, no more than is Zhao Hanxuan, although the brick inkstone is not their own, but Zhuang Rui said to stay as the treasure of the store, that is not equal to their own can always play it!
