    What Meng Zitao is holding is a Han brick inkstone. As the name suggests, the brick inkstone is actually an inkstone made of ancient bricks or fired with earth.

    Brick inkstones have a long history. From the Tang and Song dynasties, literati and poets discovered that brick inkstones made from Qin bricks and Han tiles were very useful, so they imitated them, making them hard to find and priced as much as gold and jade.

    Until modern times, Master Wu Changshuo often used brick inkstones to grind ink when painting and writing. Mr. Lu Xun was a user and lover of this type of inkstone.

    Many people believe that a good brick inkstone for writing and painting is as easy to use as a stone inkstone, but ancient bricks are scarce, so not many people use them today.

    Meng Zitao also received two Han brick inkstones some time ago, but after trying them, he found that the Han brick inkstones were not much better than stone inkstones.  This may be because the two Han brick inkstones he got were not precious, but the stone inkstones he had were not of a good variety either.

    Comparing the two, Meng Zitao guessed that maybe brick inkstones are easy to use, but they are just one more variety for those who are obsessed with antiquity or inkstone players.

This is because there are many patterns and characters on the Han bricks, which are ancient and simple, and have great ornamental value. The bricks are also fine in quality and suitable for making inkstones.

    The square brick inkstone in Meng Zitao's hand is exactly like this. It is made from a larger rectangular ancient brick of the Han Dynasty. It is just a pond-style inkstone hall carved out to be used as an inkstone, and the brick inscriptions and mottled patterns on the ancient brick are preserved.  Mark of.

    The reason why Meng Zitao felt something was wrong was because he judged from the two square brick inkstones he had obtained earlier that the weight of this square brick inkstone seemed to be wrong.

    In fact, making brick inkstones requires certain procedures and some processing, such as heating and boiling glutinous rice or oil and wax to fill the gaps in the bricks and achieve a delicate effect.

    There are many ways to process brick inkstones, but the principles are the same. Therefore, the weight problem may also be due to the different processing methods before making brick inkstones.

    Even so, Meng Zitao still had some doubts in his heart, so he directly used the superpower. However, the results given by the superpower made him feel crazy and almost lost his temper.

    Knowing that Chen Laizi was an old fox, Meng Zitao, who was worried about showing off his flaws, quickly came to his senses and then looked at the inkstone in his hand.

    I saw cursive inscriptions engraved next to the brick inkstone, and finally the names of the recipient and the inscriber were engraved in regular script.

    If you just look at the inscriptions, there is no problem at all. But when Meng Zitao saw the names of the two people, he couldn't help but feel thunder rolling from the sky.

    This is because the person who inscribed it was Fang Dayou, whose name was Ouyu and whose name was Yunsheng. He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and was later demoted to the Qing Dynasty.

    The recipient was Quan of the Song Dynasty, named Yuanping, named Yugong, and also named Liangyuan. In the last years of Chongzhen, he only served as governor of Shuntian for three days before the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng. He also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

    Of course there is no problem with Fang Dayou giving Song Quan a brick and inkstone, but the inscription actually has words such as "not eating" and "keeping righteousness" engraved on it.  These two are both traitors. By using such words, is Fang Dayou slapping himself in the face or slapping Song Quan in the face?  Presumably no normal person would do this.

    So from this point of view, this square brick inkstone must be a fake.  However, judging from the inscriptions, it should have been made by predecessors, and it could be worth some money.

    Of course, if it were in the past, Meng Zitao would definitely not be interested in Fang Inkstone, but now that he knows the meaning of the original owner's actions, it is of course impossible for him to give up.

    ¡° However, if Meng Zitao wants to pocket the things, he has to use some methods, otherwise it is likely to make Chen Laizi suspicious.

    After more than ten minutes, everyone had seen both items. Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng looked at each other; on the other side, Lao Zhou and Mr. Li also whispered a few words.

    At this time, Chen Laizi said with a smile: "Then let's talk about this Luduan aromatherapy first. You two, I wonder if you have any ideas about this thing?"

    Cheng Qiheng was the first to speak: "Boss Chen, please make a price."

    Chen Laizi chuckled: "Mr. Cheng, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other before. So, let me give you a real price, how about 100,000?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Li couldn't wait to say: "Boss Chen, I'm also very interested in this thing. How about selling it to me for 110,000?"

    Cheng Qiheng didn¡¯t want to say anything more about such a stick. He snorted coldly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay 150,000!¡±

    "One hundred and sixty thousand!"

    "One hundred and seventy thousand!"

    "One hundred and eighty thousand!"

    At this time, Cheng Qiheng suddenly shouted: "Four hundred thousand!"

    "410,000." Mr. Li subconsciously saidWang Qingchen laughed and said: "That guy is really good. Even I know that there is a wider unglazed tire on the outer wall of the willow leaf vase from the Kangxi period. It's a shame he was able to do it."

    Having said this, he asked again: "By the way, I heard that the unglazed rim was specially set aside to match the base of the willow vase. Is that true?"

    "Who did you listen to? Isn't this misleading?"

    Cheng Qiheng shook his head and said: "The real reason is due to the firing process. You see, the willow leaf vase has a slender shape, an introverted lower abdomen, and a very small foot diameter. Therefore, the center of gravity of the object is not on the lower part but on the shoulders. It is still difficult to place it normally.  Feeling unstable."

    "If you use the common bottle filling method and use cushion cakes, no matter if it is placed in the kiln or during the firing process, it will fall over and be damaged if it shakes slightly, and it is impossible to make it. Therefore, special handling must be done during the filling and firing process.  ."

    "So, the original kiln workers used porcelain clay to shape a burning mat that was more than an inch thick, and dug a concave cavity on it, which was just slightly larger than the lower part of the willow vase. At the same time, in order to avoid the pit and the willow vase being fired,  For bonding, the recessed part of the willow vase must be scraped off the glaze, and then rice bran ash is placed in the cavity to separate the direct contact between the cavity and the willow vase soil, so that it is stable and does not fear adhesion during firing. "

    "After leaving the kiln, for the sake of beauty and stable furnishings, it is necessary to match the willow leaf vase with a concave base." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
