Hu Weiyuan does not have serious presbyopia like Meng Xiangwei. He can be said to be an alien among the old man. He is already sixty-nine years old, and his eyes are better than that of a young man. His eyes are 1.5 in his eyes. When Bao Feiyang took out the Chengni inkstone, it was still yellow in Meng Xiangwei's eyes. Hu Weiyuan had already seen every detail of the Chengni inkstone clearly. He determined in his heart that this was a treasure of the Chengni inkstone of the Song Dynasty. For a moment, he didn't care that today was the 70th birthday of his old friend Meng Xiangwei's life. He stood up and snatched the Chengni inkstone from Bao Feiyang. While playing with it intoxicatingly, his eyes also emitted a greedy light. Such a good treasure should be collected by Hu Weiyuan. That old guy Meng Xiangwei was a secret pearl!

"A treasure of Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty?" At this time, an old man sitting on the other side of Meng Xiangwei also stood up and walked to Hu Weiyuan. Compared with Hu Weiyuan and Meng Xiangwei, he has a bigger background. He is a professor in the Department of Calligraphy and Painting of Zhongjiang Art Academy and the executive vice president of the Zhongjiang Provincial Cultural Relics Collection Society. He is especially good at identifying calligraphy and painting cultural relics. He also likes to collect four treasures of study cultural relics such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He heard Hu Weiyuan say that this is a Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty, so how can he sit?

"Old Hu, let me see." Shi Bufeng stretched out his hand and wanted to steal the Chengni inkstone from Hu Weiyuan's hand.

Hu Weiyuan immediately pushed Shi Bufeng's hand away and said, "Don't stretch out your hand, what should I do if I touch it? I'll hold it in my hand and let you see it. Come on, you can take a look here first..."

Hu Weiyuan held the inkstone until Shi Bufeng was now, and pointed it with his fingers, and started talking to Shi Bufeng.

According to Hu Weiyuan's judgment, this piece of Chengni inkstone is not only a treasure in the Song Dynasty, but also has an orderly inheritance. It should be a collection of famous families in the Qing Dynasty.

In his writings, Liu Gongquan, a great calligrapher of Tang Dynasty, said: "Chengni inkstones are called the four famous inkstones." Unlike other famous inkstones, Chengni inkstones is the only ceramic inkstone that is not made of natural stone, but is selected for fine clay firing. Chengni inkstones is fine but not slippery, hard but not dry in nature. They caress them like infants' skin, knock them like gold and stone, and grind them like oil. They look very smart and young, and carved them like hard stones, which are deeply favored by literati and poets of all dynasties.

The second characteristic of Chengni inkstone is that it is not named after its origin. Its main production areas are basically in the north, such as the ancient Guozhou, Xiangzhou, Shanxi Jiangzhou, Zezhou, Fenzhou, and Sishui, Shandong. Among them, Chengni inkstone made inkstone produced in Jiangzhou, Shanxi is the most famous.

This inkstone is made of ancient clay in Jiangzhou, shaped like a tile. It is based on the most primitive Western Zhou tile in China. Its great artifacts are full of ancient meanings, simple and unpretentious, and has a natural interest. The so-called tile, commonly known as tile head tile, is one of the architectural components of China. During the Tang and Song dynasties, literati and scholars often like to use ancient tile as grinding to make inkstones, and at one time became a very good inkstone. Xu Shichang, who served as the president of the Republic of China, liked to collect ancient tile as inkstones in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the number was considerable. It was called the first in the country.

Following the direction of Hu Weiyuan's finger, Shibufeng saw a line of inscription behind this Chengni inkstone: This is made of Song Chengni and is made of ink, with fine and moist ink stronger than Duanshe stones. Those who use it know their wonders. The signature is Bo'ang, and the time is Qianlong Renwu Qiuzhong, who knows it at Xiaohong Goose House.

Shi Bufeng couldn't help but be surprised. This Chengni inkstone was actually used by the famous Qing Dynasty educator Bo Ang!

Bo'ang, whose real name is Yao Yuanzhi, his pseudonym was Jianqing, and Bo'ang was his name. Yao Yuanzhi was a famous calligrapher, painter and educator in the mid-Qing Dynasty.

He was from Tongcheng, Anhui Province. He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Jiaqing. He served as the post of rituals, craftsmen, military officers, ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, and censors of the Left Censors of the Censorate. He was good at calligraphy, good at calligraphy and painting, fine brushwork, and very good at cursive scripts, especially white painting.

Shi Bufeng has studied ancient calligraphy and paintings for most of his life and is very familiar with Yao Yuanzhi's calligraphy. When he saw that the inkstone behind the Chengni inkstone was vigorous and elegant, which was exactly the style of Yao Yuanzhi. After careful consideration, he could not find any flaws. Based on his decades of experience, it can be judged that this is definitely the original work of Yao Yuanzhi. From this inkstone, it can be inferred that this Chengni inkstone was used by Yao Yuanzhi. Because of his feelings, the inkstone inkstone written by Yao Yuanzhi added a lot of value to this rare Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty. Because according to the customs of the collection industry, the famous inkstone is more popular among collectors because of the value of humanities and historical materials.

Subconsciously, Shi Bufeng gave the valuation of this Chengni inkstone. According to the current cultural relics market, it is at least 400,000, which is only high or not low.

Meng Xiangwei did not expect that Hu Weiyuan would make such a ridiculous move at his 70th birthday party. He began to be confused and did not react for a while. At this time, he calmed down and heard the conversation between Hu Weiyuan and Shi Bufeng, saying that the Chengni inkstone presented by Bao Feiyang was a rare Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty, and it was also a collection used by Yao Yuanzhi, a famous calligrapher, painter and educator of the Qing Dynasty. There was also Yao Yuanzhi's inscription on it. He didn't bother to get angry for a while. He hurriedly stood up from the birthday chair and was about to snatch the inkstone in Hu Weiyuan's hand: "Old Hu, give me the inkstone!"

Hu Weiyuan likes to collect antiques and is particularly knowledgeable about ancient inkstones. Today, he saw such a rare treasure, and he was a little unwilling to let Meng Xiangwei take it back. He shrank back and flashed over Meng Xiangwei's robbery and said, "Old Meng, you old guy is so lucky that you actually got such a precious inkstone. I am so envious of me."

That is, Hu Weiyuan is thick-skinned and dares to act like Meng Xiangwei. Although Shi Bufeng also likes this Chengni Inkstone in his heart, due to his identity and face, it is not like Hu Weiyuan who is so stern and snatched. For a while, Shi Bufeng also envies Hu Weiyuan's shamelessness. I have to say that thick-skinned people have the benefits of being thick-skinned. Many times, thick-skinned people are easy to take advantage. What a pity! What a treasure of Chengni Inkstone in the Song Dynasty worth collecting!

The young man who was scolded by Hu Weiyuan just saw Meng Xiangwei and Hu Weiyuan fighting for a yellowed broken inkstone. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. This time he didn't dare to speak loudly, but just lowered his voice to ask the cadre of the Cultural Relics Bureau next to him: "Brother, Mr. Meng and Director Hu both said that this is a Song Dynasty Chengni inkstone. What kind of precious thing is there in the Song Dynasty Chengni inkstone? Let Mr. Meng and Director Hu compete for such a person with status like this?"

"Well, when it comes to this Chengni inkstone, it really has an extraordinary origin!" The cadre from the Cultural Relics Bureau next to him was also a teacher. When he saw this young man asking him for advice, he introduced it to the young man in endlessly: "Chengni inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China. It started in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was called the "No. 1 inkstone". Li Zhiyan's "Inkstone Collection" in the Song Dynasty said: "The Chengni in Guozhou was the best in the Tang Dynasty." The difference between the three famous inkstones, Duan inkstones, She inkstones, and Tao inkstones is that the Chengni inkstones does not use natural stone as raw materials. According to the statements in "Jia's Talks" and "Four Inkstones in the Song Dynasty, it is roughly taken from the mud under the riverbed, washed, and used it.

The silk bag was filled with the tether and then threw the tether into the river and continued to be washed by water. After two or three years, the mud in the silk bag became thinner and thinner, and then it was fired into an inkstone brick, and then carved into an inkstone. In other words, the Chengni inkstone is a ceramic inkstone made of fine deposits. Because it is fine but not smooth, hard but not dry, it is caressed like a baby's skin, knocked like gold and stone, grinding it like hair oil, carving it like gold and stone, so it is deeply favored by literati and poets of all generations. Because the Chengni inkstone is mud, it is not restricted by natural stone and has strong plasticity, the shape changes and exquisiteness, and the colors are colorful. However, because its production process is complicated and the yield is low, it is not many passed down from generation to generation."

The cadres of the Cultural Relics Bureau below the stage were talking nonsense, but Meng Xiangwei on the stage was almost confused by Hu Weiyuan. He pointed at Hu Weiyuan and scolded: "Old Hu, don't be shameless when you see rare things. This is my birthday gift. Even if you want to rob, you have to wait for me to take a look, right?"

Meng Xiangwei was naturally very angry about Hu Weiyuan's actions, but he did not dare to force himself, for fear that there would be a mistake in the fight and that the treasure would be broken - Hu Weiyuan had also seen big scenes. This Song Dynasty Chengni Inkstone could be described as a treasure by him, so it was not an exaggeration to call him a treasure at his birthday party regardless of his face. So even if Meng Xiangwei was anxious, he could only watch it from the side and dare not really go forward and compete with Hu Weiyuan.

"What's your birthday gift? This young man hasn't handed it to you, so it can't be considered a birthday gift. What's more, you just looked dull and said that you were obviously dissatisfied with this birthday gift. Why did you hurry to grab it with me at this time?" Hu Weiyuan was really, really disrespectful to the old man, and he actually acted like a rogue.

"What's not satisfied? I obviously didn't have time to put on reading glasses and I didn't see the inkstone clearly, so I was snatched away by you guys?" Meng Xiangwei didn't expect that Hu Weiyuan would falsely accuse him, and he was almost so angry that he was breathless.

Hu Weiyuan ignored Meng Xiangwei's chest was so angry that his chest was undulating. He just turned around and looked at Bao Feiyang who was standing aside and laughing and crying, saying, "Young man, let's discuss it? Can this inkstone be transferred to me? I can give you 200,000 yuan to give Lao Meng'er as a birthday gift. How about it?"

When he met his beloved thing, Hu Weiyuan didn't care whether it was Meng Xiangwei's 70th birthday party or not. He thought about trading it on the spot, and it was really an old and weird flower.

However, as soon as Hu Weiyuan said this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but exclaim: 200,000 yuan! God, you heard it right? A yellow old inkstone was actually offered by Hu Weiyuan for 200,000 yuan. Director Hu Weiyuan wasn't crazy? At this time, even if you buy a townhouse in Nanshan City, it would only cost about 100,000 yuan. An old inkstone could be exchanged for two townhouses. Be good, what does this mean? Chen Zhiguo, the son of Chen Dongming, the director of the Electric Power Bureau, took it out.

A golden Buddha worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan was already the biggest birthday gift that most people present had ever seen in their lives. However, Meng Shuang's pretty boyfriend turned out to be four or five times the price of Chen Zhiguo's golden Buddha. This plot that was only seen in movies and TV series before was actually staged in front of him. This even made those with a weak psychological tolerance almost jump out of their throats, although this birthday gift had nothing to do with them.

Chen Zhiguo's face jumped out of Hu Weiyuan, but it never looked good. At this time, he heard the price of 200,000 yuan from Hu Weiyuan, and his face looked even more ugly. He never expected that the broken inkstone in Bao Feiyang's hand would have such a great charm, which not only attracted the three highest-ranking people at the birthday party to compete with each other, but even Hu Weiyuan had to pay 200,000 yuan to buy the inkstone on the spot. His grandmother's, a broken inkstone, is it that expensive? It is actually so much more expensive than the real gold Buddha that he made of pure gold? When was the broken mud so valuable? This Hu Weiyuan wasn't Bao Feiyang hired a child caregiver to act?

Of course, Chen Zhiguo just thought about it for a while. He himself knew how ridiculous this idea was. Although Hu Weiyuan was only the director of the Nanshan Museum and the director of the Nanshan Cultural Relics Research Institute, he loved collecting all his life and collected many rare treasures. There are rumors that Hu Weiyuan's collection only has more than millions of yuan in his family, which is richer than his father who is the director of the Power Bureau. Chen Zhiguo did not believe that Bao Feiyang could be able to buy Hu Weiyuan to act for him. If Bao Feiyang had that money, it would be even more worthwhile to buy it as a birthday gift to Meng Xiangwei.

Bao Feiyang was both angry and funny. Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyuan took the lead and took the Chengni Inkstone away from him, he even thought about spending money to buy the Chengni Inkstone, and then asked him to use cash as a gift to Meng Xiangwei...

"Three hundred thousand yuan. How about it?" Hu Weiyuan saw Bao Feiyang silently, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his offer, so he quickly started to increase the price.

"Haha, old man, this Chengni inkstone was specially bought from Xijing to Grandpa Meng. It is my intention and cannot be used as a transaction. What's more, my Chengni inkstone is worth more than 300,000 yuan, right?" Bao Feiyang directly rejected Hu Weiyuan's request. However, he added this sentence later mainly to beat Chen Zhiguo, who was standing aside like a fool, not to say that he wanted to bargain with Hu Weiyuan.

"Thirty-five thousand..." Hu Weiyuan thought that Bao Feiyang was moved, but his price had not yet been given to Bao Feiyang's psychological price, so he increased the price again. He stared at Bao Feiyang's face. As long as Bao Feiyang nodded, he would put the inkstone in his arms without hesitation, and then fill out a cash check in person to serve Bao Feiyang as his birthday gift.

"Old sir, I said, don't sell it!" Bao Feiyang shook his head calmly and refused Hu Weiyuan's price increase.

Damn, this brat is not old and he is really shady! He has paid 350,000 yuan here, but he is not satisfied. Hu Weiyuan couldn't help but feel anxious. He thought that 350,000 yuan has been the salary of a civil servant for sixty or seventy years, but this kid is still indifferent. What does it mean?

"I will give you 400,000 yuan as a birthday gift. Young man, sell me this inkstone." At this time, Shi Bufeng, who had been embarrassed to join the battle due to face, finally couldn't resist the temptation of this rare Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty. Regardless of what the expression on Meng Xiangwei's face, he joined in, as if he was attending a cultural relics auction.

400,000!!! My God, we can’t earn a piece of money from a broken inkstone for the rest of our lives. Everyone in the hall was stunned...

"Shibufeng, why are you going to make trouble?" Before Bao Feiyang could react, Hu Weiyuan glared at Shibufeng angrily and shouted: "This Chengni Inkstone is obviously the first one I got. What does it have to do with you?"

As he said that, he turned his head and asked Bao Feiyang: "Young man, I'll pay 500,000 yuan, it's okay. If you want a check, I'll write it to you immediately. If you want cash, I'll call someone to send it to you and give it to you on the spot, and ask you to present it to you, Grandpa Meng."

"Feiyang, don't sell it!" Meng Xiangwei stomped his feet and shouted, for fear that Bao Feiyang would be bewitched by Hu Weiyuan, and agreed to his proposal, "You don't sell it no matter how much he pays. We don't care about his stinky money!"

"Yes, Feiyang, listen to grandpa, don't sell it!" Meng Shuang also ran over and said with Bao Feiyang's hand.

"Seven hundred thousand, young man, this is my last bid. If you missed this village, there is no such store!" Hu Wei saw that Bao Feiyang was about to be moved by Meng Shuang and Meng Xiangwei, and hurriedly said.

"Seven hundred thousand?" Bao Feiyang's eyes moved, as if he was really moved by Hu Weiyuan's offer. He walked to Hu Weiyuan and said, "Seven hundred thousand is seven hundred thousand, but in order to be afraid that you will regret it, I want to tell you something first. There is a small problem with this inkstone."

Hu Weiyuan couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard that Bao Feiyang agreed to sell it. He heard that Bao Feiyang said that there was a minor problem with this Chengni inkstone, so he subconsciously stretched the inkstone forward and said to Bao Feiyang: "Where is it? There is a minor problem in what place, please show me."

"It's here, I'll show you," Bao Feiyang reached out his hand very naturally, took the inkstone from Hu Weiyuan's hand, then pointed to the top of the inkstone with his finger, and said, "Old sir, have you seen it? There are three words engraved here..."

"What are the three words? Why can't I see clearly at all?" Hu Weiyuan didn't realize that this treasured Chengni inkstone in the Song Dynasty had been taken back by Bao Feiyang. He widened his two eyes with a vision of 1.5 and tried to look at Bao Feiyang's fingers, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see the three words engraved on it.

"Haha, can't you see clearly? I'll read it to you, Mr., these three words are 'I won't sell'!" Bao Feiyang put this treasured Chengni inkstone in his arms and said to Hu Weiyuan seriously, "Mr., I'm sorry, I don't sell this Chengni inkstone in the money!"
Chapter completed!
