Chapter 159 Kyoto Antique Market

Song Xiaolei is rarely like Liao Yifei. As soon as she saw Baiguoer, she immediately fell in love with this beautiful and gentle woman. The three of them were very happy to chat. Zhou Tian went to Liu Shun's side, and the three of them simply chatted and put them on the bed at night.

Baiguoer has not had many children since she was a child. She had a Xiao Lili before. Since she broke up with Xiao Lilien, she has never had many friends around her.

Then, Liao Yifei appeared, and now there was another Song Xiaolei, which made Baiguoer lively.

The three of them lay on the bed and whispered, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep late at night.

Early the next morning, after dinner, the three of them went out shopping together.

On Zhou Tian’s side, after breakfast in the morning, he received a call from Song Baiyi and asked him and Tao Xiaoshu to have a gathering at the Song family.

After Zhou Tian greeted Liu Shun, he took the Black Eagle to the Song family and met Tao Xiaoshu who had just arrived at the door.

"Zhou Tian!" Tao Xiaoshu saw Zhou Tian as soon as he got off the car, "Go, go in together!"

This is the first time Zhou Tian has come to the old house of the Song family. The courtyard is similar to that of the Liu family. The three-entry courtyard is full of unique bonsai, which makes the already quaint courtyard look even more elegant and quiet. In this regard, the Liu family and the Tao family are really not as good as those of them.

When they walked to the end, the Song family was in the main house. After seeing the ceremony with Mr. Song, Song Baiyi took the two of them to his house.

Song Baiyi's house is next to the main house, with a suite. The larger ones outside are all regarded as study rooms, and the smaller ones inside are bedrooms.

When he walked into the house, Zhou Tian saw calligraphy and paintings all over the walls, two large porcelain jars on the ground were filled with scrolls.

There are four treasures of the study on a large desk, especially the brushes. There are three pen holders, and different brushes are hung from large to small.

Zhou Tian was attracted by several things on the table, especially the inkstone, which was dark green and oval, with several inscriptions on the edges. It looked simple and nothing special, but the rich halo was as if it had substance, and a dark brown faucet pen holder next to it actually emitted a halo.

"Interested in this?" Song Baiyi asked when he saw Zhou Tian staring at the inkstone.

"Good thing!" Zhou Tian didn't know much about the inkstone, so he could only exclaim one sentence.

"It's really good to have eyesight!" Song Baiyi praised, "This is the Taoyan of the Northern Song Dynasty!" Song Baiyi said.

Zhou Tian was surprised. Although he had not studied inkstones specifically, he also knew the four famous inkstones: Chengni inkstone, Duan inkstone, She inkstone, and Tao inkstone!

A little earlier, there was no Chengni inkstone, but a red silk inkstone.

However, although it is the four famous inkstones, there are more than four types of inkstones, but more than ten.

Among them, due to the geographical environment and material relationship at that time, Laokeng's Taoyan has always been owned by royal literary giants and wealthy businessmen.

It was cut off in the late Northern Song Dynasty, so what has been passed down is particularly precious.

Unexpectedly, there would be one here in Song Baiyi!

Zhao Xihu, a connoisseur of the Northern Song Dynasty, once said in "The Collection of Blue and Green in the Cave Sky": In addition to Duan and She, only Taohe Green Stone is the most precious in the north, green as blue and moist as jade, and ink is not reduced to the inkstone under Duanxi. Then, at the bottom of the deep water of the river, it is not caused by human power, and it is obtained as a priceless treasure.

There are also many celebrities who praise it very much, which shows how precious it is.

"This is..." Zhou Tian bent down and looked at the inscription on the inkstone, "Tingjian paused his head, Chenghui inkstone, and it felt extremely..."

"That's right!" After Zhou Tian finished reading it, Song Baiyi said, "This inkstone was given to Su Shi when he joined Su Shi!"

"Oh..." Zhou Tian sighed.

"Baiyi, I have known you for so long, and I haven't heard you talk about the origin of this inkstone!" Tao Xiaoshu was shocked.

"You are not interested, and you don't listen if you say it!" Song Baiyi said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that there was a Mingyan that he passed down. I only heard that one Sheyan had something to do with him, but it was a broken inkstone. I didn't expect that!" Zhou Tian said two things in a row. Indeed, Taoyan was precious, let alone Taoyan with Huang Tingjian's inscription!

After seeing this, Song Baiyi brought the person to the tea table next to him, chatting while drinking tea, and Zhou Tian also looked around at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

"Are all these done by white clothes?" Zhou Tian asked.

"Yes, but the pictures at the beginning were copied, and the others were all made by myself."

On the top, which is to the left side of the desk, there are four calligraphy and paintings, two copybooks and two paintings hanging on the wall.

"Isn't this Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface?" Tao Xiaoshi pointed to the word on the left and asked, "Zhou Tian, ​​look, it's enough to make the real one!"

Zhou Tian looked over, and it turned out to be exactly the same as the pictures on the information he had seen before.

"Copying is to imitate a figure, lacking the soul that should have!" Song Baiyi said.

Zhou Tian agreed with this very much, after all, it was not the same person.

However, the calligraphy copied by Song Baiyi had more of Song Baiyi's own things, and he had never seen the original works of Wang Xizhi, so naturally there was no way to compare them.

But we can also see Song Baiyi's calligraphy and painting level from it.

After talking about Song Baiyi's works for a while, the three of them turned to next week's calligraphy and painting festival.

"After Jingcun Qiandao made a fuss, he began to show off his works that were about to be exhibited. One of them was actually a Buddhist painting from the Tang Dynasty, which was stolen from our country!" Song Baiyi said, "But they said arrogantly that it was their national treasure and was given by the master that year!"

"Oh? Which master's work is it?" Zhou Tian asked curiously.

There are not many Buddhist paintings. In ancient times, most of them were murals and stone carvings, but paintings were very rare. However, the works of the painting saint Wu Daozi were the most precious.

As expected.

"There is no record of Wu Daozi's "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Prologue of the Appearances of All beings"!" Song Baiyi said, "It is said that after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a vow, he recited sutras every day in hell. After hearing all the evil ghosts who have fallen into hell, some of them suddenly realized the cycle of reincarnation, while others continued to endure the torture! I just don't know what the original painting would be!"

Looking at Song Baiyi's longing expression, Zhou Tian also felt a little fascinated.

Wu Daozi was a master of calligraphy and painting known as the "painting saint" in the Tang Dynasty. He was good at Buddhism, gods and ghosts, figures, mountains, rivers, birds and beasts, plants and lofts, etc. He was especially skilled in Buddhism, figures, and was good at mural creation!

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, he has been a role model for copying and learning by many painters, and has also received high praise and great achievements that have amazed the world!

Unexpectedly, Chihiro Imura actually had a painting of him, and it was a painting that few people know in China.

This is very surprising.

The domestic departments and masters who received the news began to search for historical records, and wanted to find some clues from them to verify the authenticity of the so-called "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's lecture on the appearance of sentient beings".

No matter whether it is true or false, it cannot be a ridiculed handle of the arrogant person in Country J in this regard.

"What about us here? What works are there in the exhibition?" Zhou Tian asked.

"We have so many, and we can't finish talking for a while. When it's that day, take a good look!" Song Baiyi said.

"No matter what, there will definitely be many that we can produce!" Tao Xiaoshu said.

"Not necessarily!" Song Baiyi said, "If that painting is indeed the original work of Wu Daozi and there is no record in China, then the level of preciousness is hard to say!"

"What should I do?" Tao Xiaoshu also scratched his head a little, not wanting to lose face in front of the Jingcun.

"It's okay, my old man also took a few paintings of Wu Daozi to participate in the exhibition! At most, a draw!"

This matter is almost done when it comes to this matter. Seeing that nothing is going on, Zhou Tian suggested going to the cultural and entertainment market.

The idea in his mind was, what if he encountered something good? Song Baiyi and Tao Xiaoshu were also very interested when they heard this, so the three of them went out together and headed straight to the Kyoto cultural and entertainment market.

This is the first time Zhou Tian has been here in Kyoto Cultural and Art Market. It is not too far from the Song family and Liu family. It is two streets away, in an alley next to a very lively road.

There is actually a large screen wall at the door with the words "Kyoto Antique Cultural and Art Market" engraved, which was obviously later repaired.

Bypassing the screen wall, my eyes suddenly became cheerful, and a large area was divided into two parts.

Some of them were arranged in rows of stalls. When I looked up, there were ten or twenty rows, and there were people coming and going, which were much more lively than in Jiangcheng.

The other part is several rows of storefronts, selling antique jade artifacts and other things.

"This is much more lively than Jiangcheng!" Zhou Tian sighed.

"No, you haven't been here before, but it really shouldn't be!" Tao Xiaoshu said, "Let's go for a walk first. When you are tired of walking, go to my shop to rest!"

"Do you have a shop here?" Zhou Tian asked.

"Not only my family, but also the Liu family!" Tao Xiaoshu said, "After so long, you don't know? What are you busy with all day long? Haha..."

Song Baiyi also smiled. Zhou Tian was really interesting sometimes.

The three of them walked up the stall as they spoke.

"Although we look at it, we can sometimes encounter good things!" Tao Xiaoshu said.

"Pick up the bargain!"

"Not? Moreover, many people come here with the intention of finding a bargain!"

"This place is different from the cultural and entertainment markets in other places. They are both true and fake, and it depends on your personal eyesight!" Song Baiyi said.

This cola has ruined Zhou Tian!

When it comes to picking up bargains, Zhou Tian still believes that no one is his opponent!

The three of them slowly walked into the stall area and walked over row by row. The Black Hawk followed behind without any trouble.

Suddenly, not far ahead, someone's voice seemed to be a little high, and seemed to have had some argument with the stall owner.

"How do you say? If you are willing to buy something, put down your things if you don't want to buy it. So you think I am teasing you!" As soon as you heard this, you were the stall owner.

"Didn't you say that one thousand is good? If you turn around, you will increase to ten thousand! Is there anyone who does this business?" The man had a southern accent.

"This is the rule. If you like it, we bargain, we will make money and goods at the same time. No one will look for anyone after that! After you go around, the market will be different. What are you anxious about?"

"Aren't you bullying me as an outsider?"

"Which eye does yours tell that I bullied you?"

"Aren't you bullying?"

"Buy or not? If you don't buy, return the things to me!"

"Of course I have to buy it, but I want to complain to you when you do this business!"

"Where do you love complain, you can put down the things first!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, there were many people around watching the fun, and there were also two sides who were helping each other.

Following the sound, Zhou Tian and the other two walked over and saw a young man in his twenties, with his face flushed and flushed, and he was angrily arguing with the stall owner.

The stall owner was about 40 or 50 years old, wearing some ragged clothes and a look of wretched face, and laughed at the young man.

Zhou Tian followed what they said and looked at the things in the young man's hands, and his heart hopped violently.

The young man was holding a long sword with a sheath in his hand, with a slightly curved curve, and was about one hundred centimeters connected to the sword handle.

The brown and black scabbard was a little worn, but Zhou Tian had already seen the rich halo emitted by the long sword.

For boys who love swords, they are very familiar with this look. They are the famous "demon sword" Muramasa in Country J!
