    "You're a judge like a dog, you're a horse like a horse, you're like an ox head like a cow. Next time I meet you bunch of bastards, I won't be merciful. I'm going to go to heaven to report you."</p> Chu Mingqiu's vented muttering  Yes, but no matter how cruel the underworld is, it is impossible for him to be detained by mistake twice.  </p> "What are you muttering about?"</p> A familiar voice woke up Chu Mingqiu. Chu Mingqiu looked up and saw Master Liu and Yue Xiuxiu looking at him with their heads lowered. Chu Mingqiu quickly changed  A smiling face: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."</p> Mr. Liu hummed softly. He and Yue Xiuxiu didn't hear clearly what Mingqiu was cursing. They just saw Chu Mingqiu's dejected look and were worried.  What happened.  Seeing that Chu Mingqiu looked like nothing was wrong, they both breathed a sigh of relief.  </p> Mr. Liu glanced at the baggage in Sui'er's hand: "What other goodies did your mother give you?" </p> "It's nothing, just two sets of clothes." Chu Mingqiu replied absentmindedly,  After taking two steps, he added: "Oh, by the way, there is also an inkstone. Judging from Sister Juhua's careful look, it might be quite valuable."</p> "An inkstone?" Mr. Liu couldn't help but frown, and then  Somewhat surprised, he asked: "Is there a Wenquxing carved on it?"</p> "I didn't see Wenquxing. He was an old man, gray and dusty, but he is pretty good-looking."</p> Liu Ye understood what it was.  , he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, you have a mountain of treasures in your hands but you don't know the treasures. Let me tell you, this square inkstone can be exchanged for half of the Chu Mansion. Do you believe it?" </p> Chu Mingqiu was stunned at once.  Well, he knew how big the Chu Mansion was. If the Chu Mansion was undefeated or remained in the hands of the Chu family, by the 21st century he was familiar with, the Chu Mansion alone would have to be sold for more than several hundred million.  But this square inkstone can be exchanged for half of the Chu Mansion, which is several hundred million.  </p> ¡°Chu Mingqiu doesn¡¯t believe it, absolutely doesn¡¯t believe it. No matter how expensive the inkstone is, it can¡¯t be exchanged for hundreds of millions.  </p> "It seems you don't believe it. Come on, let me tell you."</p> Chu Mingqiu followed Master Liu to the study room obediently. This study room was where he used to live. After he moved out,  Master Liu then set up this room as a study. In fact, Master Liu seldom reads here now. If he wants to read, he goes to Ruyi Building.  </p> After sitting down in the study, Liu Ye reached out to Sui'er to ask for the baggage. Sui'er heard that the square inkstone could be exchanged for half of the Chu Mansion. She didn't know what to do. She held it in her hand for fear of falling.  , holding it in my arms for fear of being crushed, it feels like what I am holding is not a treasure but a curse. Now that Master Six wants to see it, he quickly and carefully puts the baggage together on the table.  </p> Mr. Liu took out the inkstone and held it with his hand. He looked at it carefully for a while before placing it on the table. Chu Mingqiu came over and looked at it for a while but didn't see anything.  </p> ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just a good carving.¡± Chu Mingqiu really couldn¡¯t tell how valuable this thing was. Even if it was finely carved, it wasn¡¯t worth half of the Chu family. Isn¡¯t this dad a liar?  , He has also seen the cabinet of the cheap lady. There are several inkstones in it, but the lady doesn¡¯t use them much. She just puts them there casually, and then gives them to herself casually. How come they are worth half of the Chu Mansion.  </p> "Son, I asked you to go to Ruyi Building to read a book. How many times have you been there? You are a complete idiot." Mr. Liu laughed and scolded.  </p> "Just tell him." Yue Xiuxiu was unhappy, brought two cups of tea and put them on the table, saying angrily.  </p> ¡°It seems you don¡¯t know either, okay, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Mr. Liu rubbed his hand on the inkstone, with a hint of regret in his tone, as if the inkstone was given to Chu Mingqiu, just like a pearl cast into darkness.  , and then fell into the mortal world.  </p> ¡°To talk about this inkstone, first you have to know the classification of inkstones since ancient times,¡± Liu Ye began to educate Chu Mingqiu and Yue Xiuxiu: ¡°pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the four treasures of the study, have been valued by scholars since ancient times, and scholars value them.  The pursuit of excellence is the pursuit of excellence. "</p> "The pen is said to have been made by General Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty. It mainly pays attention to materials. The pen tip is made of rabbit hair, wolf hair, and wool. The material of the pen barrel is even more abundant, and the common one is bamboo.  , later on, ivory, jade, animal bones, and mahogany were used. The brush hair must be tough, supple, and elastic. For a good brush, use"</p> "Old man, Qiu'er still needs to practice calligraphy. The four treasures of the study are the same as you.  Let¡¯s talk about it until when. Let¡¯s talk about the inkstone today.¡±</p> Chu Mingqiu was still a little interested, but Yue Xiuxiu became impatient. The four treasures of the study must be passed down from the origin to the next.  Material identification, production techniques, and characteristics of each era can be discussed for seven days and seven nights.  </p> "Okay," Mr. Liu smiled and did not argue with Yue Xiuxiu: "Look at this square inkstone. It is hard in stone, but very smooth when you touch it. There are no lines to hinder it." As he spoke, Mr. Liu gently used his fingers to  After knocking, the inkstone made a buzzing sound: "Listen, what is this sound?"After knocking twice on the table, Chu Mingqiu suddenly realized: "It sounds like wood."</p> "Yes, it sounds like wood." Liu Ye nodded and said, "Now judging from the stone and the sound,  There is no doubt that this is a Duan inkstone, and Duan inkstones need to be subdivided. The best Duan inkstone is the Duanxi inkstone in Xi Keshan. Duan Xi inkstone in Xi Keshan has three famous pits, Laokeng, Mazi pit, and Kengzai pit. The stones of these three famous pits are  The most important thing for collecting inkstones is the pit opening. As long as the square inkstone comes from these three famous pits, it is extremely valuable. </p> So where does this square inkstone come from? Look at the quality of the stone.  Judging from the feel and texture of its patterns and shapes, it can now be basically concluded that it is Laokeng stone."</p> Chu Mingqiu listened with interest, and secretly took note of it while trying to identify the textures on it.  , but Mr. Liu continued to talk to himself: "Look at the color of this stone. At first glance, it is a bit gray, but if you look carefully, it has a bit of cyan. You can see this area is particularly obvious, so this is an old pit.  The best, azure stone, is the best stone for making Duan inkstones. For this reason alone, this square Duan inkstone is worth collecting. </p> Another important thing when looking at square inkstones is time. Stone is not porcelain.  It is not a jade with calligraphy and painting, so it is difficult to judge the time, but it can be judged from the carving and workmanship on the side. "</p> Mr. Liu spoke in detail about the characteristics of Duan inkstones in different periods and how to distinguish them. The more Chu Mingqiu listened, the more he listened.  I admire him. This old man is worthy of being a stubborn old man. Some stubborn bosses in the entertainment industry in his previous life, such as the boss of a company that is a big boss in the industry, liked this. But Chu Mingqiu dared to conclude that in front of the old man, they were at the level of primary school students.  </p> ¡°Having said so much, when did this Fang Duan Inkstone come from? In the Huizong era of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was made for the imperial court, but that was not the end of it. This Fang Duan Inkstone was used by Emperor Huizong. Although Huizong Zhao Ji was the king of subjugation, but  He is good at calligraphy and painting, and his thin gold calligraphy has been unique for thousands of years. </p> Huizong Zhao Ji especially loved Duan inkstones and often gave them to his officials. Mi Fu, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, was awarded several Duan inkstones by Huizong.  Huizong admired Taoism. The figure on this inkstone is obviously in the shape of Wenquxing. Huizong was very confident in his accomplishments in calligraphy and painting. He believed that he was the Wenquxing who descended to earth, so the Duan inkstone he rewarded his ministers could contain moral monarchs, birds and beasts.  There are green pines, but there are no Wenqu stars. </p> When he was in power, he also issued an edict to prohibit the carving of Wenqu stars on Duan inkstones. In the entire Song Dynasty, only his imperial desk had a Duan inkstone in the shape of Wenqu stars. </p>  During the Qianlong Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan, a scholar in the cabinet, once received this inkstone. After Qianlong heard about it, he asked Ji Xiaolan to observe it. Ji Xiaolan was worried that Qianlong would not repay the loan, so he refused to give it to him. He insisted that Qianlong come to his home to see it. Qianlong had no choice but to give it to him.  Condescend to the Ji Mansion. "</p> Chu Mingqiu was speechless, wow, this Ji Xiaolan is so cool that he won't even sell it to the emperor's account, but it's possible, think about Ji Dayanguo and Qianlong in the braid drama.  The relationship is extraordinary, and Qianlong is quite easy to fool.  </p> The stupid image of Chu Mingqiu fell in the eyes of the Sixth Master. The Sixth Master smiled proudly. Yue Xiuxiu quietly poked his waist from behind. The Sixth Master then said: "Son, now you know the value of this Duan Inkstone."  It's precious. Remember, this square inkstone is called Wenqu Inkstone. It has only been in this place since ancient times and has no other branches. In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, your grandfather got it by chance. He always regarded it as a treasure and was reluctant to leave it behind when he died.  , someone once exchanged it for 50,000 yuan, and your grandfather was reluctant to part with it. Now that it is in your hands, you must cherish it. "</p> Chu Mingqiu was overjoyed that it was worth so much, and he was about to make a calculation in his heart.  How much will it be worth in the future? Yue Xiuxiu interjected: "How old is he? Don't let such a good thing be wasted. I will keep it for him first."</p> "Ah, Chu Mingqiu's heart almost bled. In the eleventh year of the Republic of China,  It¡¯s worth fifty thousand oceans. How much will it be worth now and what will it be worth in thirty years? Mom, you won¡¯t just give it up to me like this.  </p> It was impossible to ask his mother for confirmation. Chu Mingqiu immediately took his father's hand. His pitiful look made Iron Man heartbroken, but Master Six had already seen through his trick. Not only did he not help him, but  Said: "Mom is right, you are still too young, your mother can keep these things for you, and the same is true for your mother. Why am I giving this to you now? If it is broken, it will be ruined."  "Xiu, don't put it away yet, I'll take a look."</p> "So, Chu Mingqiu stared at Mr. Liu with disdain, why did he forget that this dad is so familiar with inkstones, and there are several in the room.  You must be a fan and collector of inkstones. When you see this inkstone, how can you not want to keep it for yourself?  </p> ¡°Dad, you also like this inkstone, right?¡± Chu Mingqiu couldn¡¯t bear this tone, and planned to find some replacement first.  </p> "Well, yes," Liu Ye replied casually, then he realized what he was doing, looked at Chu Mingqiu and said with a smile, "Why, it doesn't matter if you play with dad for a few days, you little money-crazy guy."<  /p> ¡°Tch, you can play if you want. I have to use my mother as an excuse to despise you.¡±</p> Mr. Liu was stunned for a long time before he became furious and wanted to fight back, but Chu Mingqiu had already ran out quickly, so Mr. Liu could only reluctantly cursed the brat.  </p> "Despise you" has almost become Chu Mingqiu's mantra. Almost everyone in the house has been despised by him. Over time, no one took it seriously.  </p> But today, Master Liu¡¯s thoughts were revealed by a five-year-old child, which made Master Liu feel a little embarrassed and angry.  </p>
