"The judge of the dog days, the horse face of the dog days, the bull head of the dog days, the next time I meet you, I will never let you go, I will report you to heaven."

Jia Gongqiu muttered, but even if the underworld was no longer able to detain him twice, it would be impossible for him to be wrongly arrested twice.

"What are you mumbling about?"

A familiar voice woke Jia Gongqiu up. Jia Gongqiu looked up and saw the Sixth Master and Zhu Xiu looking down at him. Jia Gongqiu quickly changed his smile: "Dad, mom, I'm back."

The Sixth Master nodded softly. He and Zhu Xiu did not hear anything Jia Gongqiu scolded him clearly. They just saw Jia Gongqiu feeling lost and worried that something would happen. Seeing Jia Gongqiu's appearance, it seemed that nothing was wrong, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Liu glanced at the burden in Sui'er's hand: "What good thing did your mother give you?"

"It's nothing, just two sets of clothes." Jia Gongqiu replied absent-mindedly, taking two steps and adding: "Oh, by the way, there is also an inkstone. Look at Sister Juhua's careful look, it may be quite expensive."

"A square inkstone?" Master Liu couldn't help frowning, and then asked in surprise: "Is there a Wenquxing carved on it?"

"Wenquxing didn't see him. He was an old man, very ugly."

Master Six understood what it was, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, you don't know the treasure in your hand. Let me tell you, this inkstone can be exchanged for half a Jia family. Do you believe it?"

Jia Gongqiu was shocked at once. He knew how big the Jia family was. If the Jia family was undefeated, or remained in the hands of the Jia family, in the 21st century he was familiar with, the Jia family would have to be sold for more than one billion yuan in land alone. But this inkstone could be exchanged for half a Jia family, which would be more than five hundred million yuan.

Jia Gongqiu doesn’t believe it, absolutely not. Even the most expensive inkstone is not exchanged for more than 500 million yuan.

"It seems you don't believe it. Come on, let me tell you."

Jia Gongqiu followed Master Liu honestly to the study room. This study room was where he lived. After he moved out, Master Liu turned it into a study room. In fact, Master Liu rarely reads books here now, and if you want to read books, you can go to Ruyi Tower.

After sitting down in the study, Master Liu reached out to ask Sui'er for the bag. Master Liu heard that the inkstone could be exchanged for half of the Jia family, but he didn't know what to do. He was afraid of falling when he held it in his hand, and afraid of pressing it in his arms. He felt that he was not a treasure but a root of disaster. Master Liu wanted to see it at this moment, so he quickly put the bag together on the table.

Sixth Master took out the inkstone, held it with his hands, and looked carefully before putting it on the table. Jia Gongqiu came over and saw it for a while but couldn't see anything.

"It's nothing, it's just carved well." Jia Gongqiu couldn't tell. This thing was valuable. Even if it was finely carved, it was not worth half of the Jia family. This dad was not a lie. He had also seen my cheap cabinet. There were several inkstones inside. I didn't do much, so I just put it casually and gave it to myself casually. Why was it worth half of the Jia family at once?

"Son, let you go to Ruyi Tower to read books. How many times have you been there, and you are a little idiot." Master Liu smiled and scolded.

"Just tell him." Zhu Xiu was displeased, brought two cups of tea on the table, and said angrily.

"It seems you don't know, okay, I'll tell you." Master Liu rubbed his hand on the inkstone, with a little regret in his tone, as if the inkstone was given to Jia Gongqiu, just like a pearl that fell into the darkness, and from then on he fell into the mortal world.

"If you want to talk about this inkstone, first of all, you have to know the classification of inkstones since ancient times," Liu Ye began to literate Jia Gongqiu, including Zhu Xiu: "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the four treasures of the study have been valued by scholars since ancient times, and scholars have been striving for excellence in their pursuit of them."

"The pen is said to be made by Meng Tian, ​​a general of the Qin Dynasty. It mainly focuses on materials. The tips of the pen include rabbit hair, wolf hair, and wool hair. The materials for the pen holder are even richer. The ordinary ones use bamboo, and later ivory, jade, animal bones, and mahogany. The brush hair is required to be tough, flexible and elastic. Good brushes are used..."

"Old man, Qiu'er still has to practice calligraphy. You will talk about the four treasures of the study. When will you talk about it? Let's talk about this inkstone first today."

Jia Gongqiu was still a little interested when he heard this, but Zhu Xiu was impatient. The four treasures of the study should be passed down from origin to material identification, production technology, and the characteristics of each era. After talking about it all, we can talk about seven days and seven nights.

"Okay," Master Liu smiled, and argued differently from Zhu Xiu: "Look at this inkstone, the stone is hard, but it is very smooth when touched, without any obstruction of the pattern," Master Liu tapped his fingers gently, and the inkstone made a buzzing sound: "Listen, what is this sound?"

Jia Gongqiu frowned and focused his attention to identify carefully. Master Liu smiled slightly and tapped his fingers on the table twice. Jia Gongqiu suddenly realized: "It's like a wood sound."

"Yes, it's like a wood sound," Liu Ye nodded and said, "Now from the stone and sound, this is undoubtedly a Duan inkstone, and Duan inkstone needs to be subdivided. The best Duan inkstone is the Duan inkstone of Fu Keshan. Duan inkstone has three famous pits, Laokeng, Mazikeng, and Kengzikeng. The stone of these three famous pits is the best. When collecting inkstones, the most important thing is the cut-out hole. As long as the square inkstone comes from these three famous pits, they all have high value.

So where does this inkstone come from? Look at the texture and feel of the stone, and its colors and patterns, with various demeanor and variations. Now we can basically determine that it is an old pit stone."

Jia Gongqiu listened with relish. While secretly recording it, he tried hard to identify the patterns on it. Liu Ye continued to say to himself: "Looking at the color of this stone again, it looks a little gray, but when you look closely, it has a little blue color. You see, this area is particularly obvious, so this is the best in the old pit, sky blue stone, this is the best stone for making Duan inkstones. With this one alone, this Duan inkstone is worth collecting.

Looking at Fangyan, another important thing is time. Stones are not porcelain or calligraphy and paintings. It is difficult to judge time, but they can be broken from the carving and craftsmanship next to them."

Sixth Master gave a detailed description of the characteristics of Duan Inkstone in various periods and how to distinguish them. Jia Gongqiu became more and more impressed. This old man is worthy of the old stubborn master. Some stubborn masters in the entertainment industry in his previous life, such as the boss of Huayi Company, the boss of the big boss in the circle, liked this, but Jia Gongqiu dared to conclude that in front of the old man, they were the level of elementary school students.

"After saying so much, what happened to this Duan inkstone from that period? In the era of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the imperial court, but that was not finished yet. This Duan inkstone was used by Emperor Huizong. Although Huizong Zhao Ji was the king of the country who lost his country, he was good at calligraphy and painting. The thin gold style of calligraphy he created was unique for thousands of years.

Huizong Zhao Ji especially loved Duan inkstones and often gave Duan inkstones to his subjects. Mi Fu, a calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, once rewarded several Duan inkstones by Huizong. Historical records show that Huizong advocated Taoism, and the characters on this inkstone were obviously the shape of Wenquxing. Huizong was very confident in his attainments in calligraphy and painting, and believed that he was Wenquxing, so the Duan inkstones he rewarded his ministers could have moral truth, birds, beasts, and pines, but there were no Wenquxing.

When he was in power, he issued an order to prohibit the Duan inkstone from being carved on the Duan inkstone. In the entire Song Dynasty, only his imperial desk had a Duan inkstone shape.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, received this inkstone. After Qianlong heard about it, he asked Ji Xiaolan for observation. Ji Xiaolan was worried that Qianlong would borrow money and not repay it, so he insisted that Qianlong would not give it to him and insisted that Qianlong come to his house to see him. Qianlong could not end up condescending to Ji's mansion."

Jia Gongqiu was speechless. Wow, Ji Xiaolan was too arrogant. He didn't even sell the emperor's account, but it was also possible. Thinking about the relationship between Ji Da Yanpo and Qianlong in the braid show was extraordinary, and Qianlong was also easy to fool.

Jia Gongqiu's stupidity fell into the eyes of Master Six. Master Six smiled proudly. Zhu Xiu quietly poked his waist from behind. Master Six then said: "Son, now you know the preciousness of this Duan inkstone. Remember, this inkstone is called Wenqu inkstone. There is only one place in ancient and modern times, and there is no branch. In the 11th year of the Republic of China, your grandfather was lucky enough to get it. He always regarded it as a treasure. He was reluctant to leave this inkstone before he died. Someone once exchanged it for 50,000 yuan, but your grandfather couldn't bear to leave it. Now it fell into your hands, you must cherish it."

It was worth so much, Jia Gongqiu was overjoyed and was about to calculate how much it would be worth in the future, but Zhu Xiu interrupted: "How old is he? Don't waste such good things, I'll keep them for him first."

Ah, Jia Gongqiu almost felt bleeding. It was worth 50,000 oceans in the eleventh year of the Republic of China. How much is it worth now? How much will it be worth in another thirty years? Mom, you won’t be gone for me like this.

It is impossible to ask my mother. Jia Gongqiu immediately grabbed my father's hand. His pitiful look broke the iron man's heart. But Master Liu had already seen through his tricks. Not only did he not help him, he said: "My mom is right. You are too young. Just keep these things for you. If you want to say that your mother is the same, why did you give this thing to you now? If it is broken, it will be ruined. Show, don't put it away first, I'll take a look."

So that's it. Jia Gongqiu stared at Master Liu with contempt. Why did he forget that this father is so familiar with inkstones. There are several inkstones in the room. He must be a lover and collector of inkstones. When he sees this inkstone, how could he not want to take it for himself?

"Dad, you like this inkstone too, right?" Jia Gongqiu couldn't help but breathe and planned to find some to make up for it first.

"Well, yes," Master Liu replied casually, then reacted, looked at Jia Gongqiu and smiled, "What, what's wrong with playing with my dad for a few days, you little money fan."

"Tsk, just play if you want to play. I have to use my mom as an excuse to despise you."

Master Liu was stunned for a long time before he was "furious" and wanted to fight back, but Jia Gongqiu had already run out in a flash. Master Liu could only curse the bad guy unwillingly.

Despise you has almost become Jia Gongqiu's catchphrase. Almost everyone in the mansion has been despised by him. Over time, no one took it seriously.

However, today, Liu Master was seen through by a five-year-old child, which made Liu Master's old face a little uncontrollable and a little angry.
