In the living room, the family members gathered around the coffee table, staring at the blue and black inkstone, listening to Ye Tian's explanation.

Needless to say, the material of this inkstone comes from the old pit in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and it is the top inkstone, with a solid, lubricated and delicate texture, giving people a delicate feeling.

The inkstone made of this inkstone is not sluggish, the ink is fast, the ink is very smooth, the writing is smooth, and the pen is not damaged, and the handwriting color remains unchanged for a long time."

As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his thumb and pressed it the inkstone, then pointed to the dark green fingerprints that were clearly visible on the inkstone and said:

"The best quality inkstone, regardless of the scorching heat or severe winter, press the inkstone by hand, it will show a blue or dark green imprint, the water vapor will not recede for a long time, and there is a saying in ancient times that 'the air becomes ink'!"

"Hey——! you're so professional! It's the first time I've heard of this knowledge."

The sister-in-law snorted and patted Ye Tian on the shoulder appreciatively.

The eyes of the rest of the family were also full of appreciation, and the three little guys looked at Ye Tian with admiration, with stars in their eyes.

"That's it! It's different from the past! I'm now the top expert in antique artwork, and I'm well-versed in Chinese and Western, and I'm recognized in the industry!"

Ye Tian boasted proudly, and he was not modest at all.

"Hey, you kid, you're still panting when you say you're fat!"

Mom said jokingly, not to mention how proud her expression was.

"Don't say it, Xiao Tian is indeed very professional in this regard, and what he just said is the only way to identify high-grade inkstones!"

Grandpa smiled and nodded, also very appreciative and proud.

This is his eldest grandson, who has become the top expert in antique artwork, can you not be proud?

After a pause, Ye Tian returned to the topic, stretched out his hand and pointed to the freehand painting of flowers and birds on the inkstone and said:

"Please look at this freehand painting of flowers and birds, there are only a few brushstrokes, which can be called concise and concise, but it gives people a sense of vertical and horizontal unrestrainedness, which is impossible to do without the top art masters.

The picture is clearly layered, virtual and real, and looks very much like the splashed ink technique in ink painting, giving people a rich imagination, so it can be seen that this should be the handiwork of a freehand master of splashing ink.

Look at the two smart birds on the picture, they are all strokes, not seeking to resemble the form, but the charm is natural, full of vitality, everything is between the similar and the unlike!

This vine is like a dragon, full of tension, and the vertical and horizontal atmosphere and bold realm embodied in it are unprecedented, filling the whole picture, which can be called the highest peak of freehand painting of flowers and birds, and there is no one else like it!"

With Ye Tian's explanation, the family gradually immersed themselves in the wonderful artistic conception of this masterpiece, and swam in the art world of splashing ink and freehand!

The explanation did not stop, and the main event came.

"It can be seen from this freehand painting of flowers and birds that the person who painted this painting must be a top art master, and he has a deep accomplishment in the freehand painting technique of splashing ink!

We know that Xu Wei is the founder of China's 'Splashed Ink Freehand School' and the originator of the 'Qingteng School', and is the most accomplished master of splashed ink freehand painting in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

He absorbs the essence of his predecessors and is reborn, painting does not seek to resemble the gods, landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, bamboo and stone are all work, with flowers are the most outstanding, unique and self-contained.

The freehand flowers and birds on this inkstone are all made with a stroke of a stroke, and the charm is natural! There were very few painters who could do this in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Xu Wei was the most outstanding one among them.

And this green vine has a special meaning, Xu Wei called himself the old man in the old man, this green vine is unrestrained and full of tension, which is the best portrayal of Xu Wei's character and morality.

On this side of the inkstone, we don't see the owner's name, similar to such a superb inkstone, the owner will not leave his own name?

But for Xu Wei, there is this green vine with elegant meaning and perfect embodiment of its own quality, where can it be used to engrave the name again! This is the best signature!

In addition to the freehand painting of flowers and birds, as well as this green vine with a special meaning, there is another evidence, which can also prove that this is a Duan inkstone belonging to Xu Wei, and it can prove its value!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian picked up this square inkstone, carefully flipped it over, and buckled it upside down on the coffee table, presenting the inkstone bottom that was as black as ink and smooth as a mirror in front of his family.

At this time, except for Betty and the two youngest guys, Dongzi and Dawn, the rest of the family counted one by one, all with a fascinated expression, and everyone's eyes were full of ecstasy.

After Ye Tian's explanation, everyone is already very sure that this is the top Duan Yan that originally belonged to Xu Wei, and he definitely didn't run!

As for whether this Duan inkstone is a national treasure-level antique, everyone has no doubts.

This is the Duan inkstone used by Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! How many parties can there be in the world?

God knows how many shocking ink paintings Xu Wei has painted with the ink grinded by this inkstone, how many calligraphy that shocked the past and the present, and how many popular poems he wrote!

Can't such a top-level inkstone be called a national treasure? What is a national treasure?

The explanation continued, Ye Tian gently wiped the bottom of the inkstone with his thumb, and presented the four-character cursive script in the center of the inkstone in front of everyone.

Then, he pointed to the four-character cursive script of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing and said:

"Let's look at this four-character cursive script again, it is written 'Youming one person', this is the famous poet of the late Ming Dynasty, known as Tao Wangling, known as 'Ertao', for Xu Wei's highest evaluation.

Based on my research and understanding of Tao Wangling's calligraphy, I can basically determine that this four-character cursive script of 'Ming One Person' is indeed written by Tao Wangling himself, and it is definitely not someone else's handwriting.

Obviously, Tao Wangling was also the owner of this high-grade inkstone, and out of admiration and respect for Xu Wei, he engraved these four words on the bottom of this inkstone.

The top old pit inkstone, the freehand of flowers and birds that opened a generation of painting style, Xu Wei's great name, the wonderful carving skills, and the endorsement of Tao Wangling in the late Ming Dynasty!

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a Duan inkstone of great significance is a national treasure in the study! There are very few inkstones that can be compared with this Duan inkstone in the domestic antique market!"

During the explanation, the family members carefully checked the cursive script at the bottom of the inkstone, and they were more convinced of Ye Tian's judgment.

At the same time, the joy in everyone's eyes is getting stronger and stronger, especially the grandfather, who is even more excited and his face is flushed, and he can't sit still.

When the words fell, Ye Tian casually picked up this square inkstone and turned it over, and put the inkstone on the coffee table with the heart facing up, officially ending this antique appraisal lecture!

As soon as his hand left here, the grandfather over there reached out and picked up the inkstone like lightning, and said excitedly:

In the circle of calligraphy lovers in Beijing, I really haven't heard of anyone with such a top inkstone, including those calligraphy masters!

It is too rare for such a heavyweight national treasure to fall into our house! I can't even think of it! It's like a dream!"

Grandpa sighed while carefully looking at and studying the inkstone in his hand, there was nothing else in his eyes, and he was reluctant to look away for a moment, let alone put it down!

The eyes of the rest of the family members were also firmly attracted by this Duan Yan, everyone's face was full of ecstasy, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.

It took a moment for everyone to wake up.

Immediately afterwards, the sister-in-law couldn't wait to ask:

"Xiaotian, since this is a national treasure-level antique inkstone, it must be worth a fortune, right? Tell you, how much is this square inkstone worth? Let us have a more intuitive understanding."

"Huh!"

The eyes of all the family members immediately looked at Ye Tian, expecting his answer.

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and then gave an earth-shattering answer.

"The price of top stationery supplies has always been high, and with my understanding of the domestic antique art market, it is conservatively estimated that the price of this inkstone is also more than 20 million yuan!

If we can find the information of this square inkstone on some famous inkstones, the price is estimated to be even higher! Such a top-level inkstone must be recorded on some important inkstones! It is not difficult to find out!"

Before the words fell, the living room was already frying, and the exclamations rang out one after another.

"I heard you right, right? 20 million yuan! It's a conservative estimate! This is too exaggerated, it's just a side-end inkstone, even if Xu Wei used it, it won't shout out such a sky-high price!"

"One side of the inkstone is worth 20 million yuan, if this is another party, wouldn't it be possible to change a house in Lishi Hutong?

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled and nodded:

"That's right! Second uncle, there are such two national treasure-level inkstones, you can indeed change a set of houses in Lishi Hutong, if the operation is good, this side of the inkstone may be able to change a set of houses!

Of course, what we are talking about here is an ordinary courtyard house like ours, not the doors of the mansions in the alleys with more than three entrances, and those houses are all priced in hundreds of millions!"

"——!"

An exclamation sounded in the living room again, and everyone was frightened by Ye Tian's words!

"What kind of house to change? This Duan inkstone will be our family's heirloom in the future, is it easy to meet such a national treasure-level antique?

Grandpa interrupted everyone's discussion with a loud voice, and what he said was categorical and unquestionable.

Hearing this, Ye Tian's face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Gotcha, he's a loser!

In a few days, a batch of top antique artworks that can be called national treasures will officially flow into the domestic antique art market through their own hands, shocking the domestic collection industry!

"The old man is right, we are not short of money, nor is there a shortage of land, there is no need to sell this kind of national treasure-level antiques, it is good to keep it as an heirloom, this is called heritage!"

The second uncle continued, agreeing with his grandfather's decision.

The rest of the family had no objections, and everyone nodded happily.

"We also have family heirlooms, can we also show them on CCTV's "I Have Heirlooms" program? I believe that we will be able to turn other people's heirlooms to the ground and step into the mud!"

Dongzi said excitedly, looking eager to try.

"Smack!"

The sister-in-law gave the kid a backhand slap, and the back of the head was still hit, and the voice was crisp and abnormal.

Immediately afterwards, the sister-in-law warned viciously:

"If your kid has itchy skin and doesn't smoke it, let me go out and scatter everywhere, don't let me know! I know that I must have picked your kid's skin and beat you so that you can't take care of yourself!

And the two of you, Linlin and Chenxi, about this national treasure Duanyan, don't go out and scatter around, just know about it, otherwise I'll whip you too!"

"I know, we don't love it as much as Dongzi!"

Linlin and Chenxi nodded hurriedly in response, so as not to attract the sister-in-law's armed suppression.

"Is there any more royal law? I'm just talking, so go out and go out? You don't just raise your hand and smoke! Besides, what's the difference if I don't show up now? Isn't it the same as being smoked? Tyrant!"

Dongzi muttered in a low voice with a loveless expression.

"Hahaha"

There was a loud laugh in the living room, hearty and hearty!
