The rockery transported by Lin Jiawen was much smaller than Xiao Peng imagined, only about three meters high and two meters wide, which made Xiao Peng feel quite disappointed. After all, in Xiao Peng's impression, the higher and bigger the rockery, the better it looks, and the color is not as snow-white as in the photo, a little yellowish.

Xiao Peng asked Lin Jiawen to go to Shanghai to find Feng Jianting to get silver cod, and he called Yang Meng to start busy on the island: he brought mountain spring water in his small courtyard, and dug a large pool next to the pavilion in the courtyard, which raised freshwater fish such as koi, and in the middle of the pool, there was a rockery sent by Lin Jiawen. Not to mention, after doing this, there is really a trace of elegance in the small courtyard.

Drinking tea and playing chess in the poolside pavilion and watching the swimming fish in the pool can really make people feel comfortable.

For this reason, Xiao Peng was still very proud, and specially called his grandfather, his father, Academician Liu and others to come over to taste tea. Didn't they all say that Xiao Peng was a nouveau riche? Let's take a look, how elegant is my life now?

But he didn't want to think about how many people made tea out of natural ebony?

It was Academician Liu, but he stared at the rockery in the pool, and finally took advantage of Xiao Peng's inattention, took off his shoes and rolled his trouser legs to the pool to stare at the rockery, Xiao Peng saw this scene, couldn't cry or laugh, and said jokingly: "Academician Liu, did you run to my pool to wash your feet? I bought these koi fish at a high price, let your feet stink to death, I can play with you!"

Xiao Peng was originally joking, but Academician Liu turned his head suddenly, his two eyes became blood-red, staring at Xiao Peng, pointing at Xiao Peng for a long time and unable to say a word, obviously angry.

Looking at Academician Liu's actions, Xiao Peng was also frightened: "Academician Liu, are you okay? Don't be angry, how did I provoke you?"

Academician Liu took a few deep breaths, pointed at Xiao Peng and said, "You damn nouveau riche, a loser。。。。。。 Academician Liu scolded Xiao Peng with his head and face, Xiao Peng's face was dazed, what did I do wrong? But listening to this literati scolding, I was speechless, just a few sentences over and over again, and there were no dirty words, but the action score was very good, and he hated iron, which was strange and funny。。。。。。

Xiao Peng pointed to the rockery and said: "Academician Liu, did you lose such a temper at me just for such a quartz stone?" Academician Liu, you have to give me an explanation, I kindly invited you to come for tea, but you treated me like this, don't forget, I am your boss, you don't say why you came today, be careful that I fire you." ”

"Ugh. Academician Liu reacted at this time, his old face turned red, but then he came back to his senses: "What is a quartz stone? You are a tyrannical thing!"

"This is not quartz?" Xiao Peng pointed to the white rockery and said: "I don't read much, but I'm not stupid, Academician Liu, don't lie to me, it's not quartz, I'll kick your head as a ball." ”

Quartz is a very common mineral, quartz can be found in almost all rocks, microcrystalline quartz is called 'chalcedony', 'agate', 'jasper', 'crystal' and the like, so Xiao Peng said that it is quartz stone.

Academician Liu calmed down his emotions: "Boss Xiao, is this an ordinary quartz stone?"

Xiao Peng looked peaceful: "It's not quartz, it's not crystal, it's not agate, it's not chalcedony." ”

Academician Liu sighed: "You know the great poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty, right? He once wrote a seven-law poem: 'Yanshan calamus Kunshan stone, Chen Suo holds it to comfort the loneliness. The inch is dense and nine thin, and a punch is worth a thousand gold', and the Yuan Dynasty poet Zhang Yu also wrote, 'Kunqiu ruler is amazing, and there is no artemisia under the eyes. The lonely root Lixue is recommended by the qin, and the small Duo Shengyun runs the pen bed. It is this kind of stone that is written. There are no less than ten or twenty ancient poems describing this kind of stone!"

Xiao Peng's answer after hearing it almost made Academician Liu vomit blood: "What a broken poem, what about the great poet Lu You, it doesn't rhyme at all." Old Liu, just tell me what this thing is. ”

Academician Liu resisted the urge to scold the street and explained to Xiao Peng: "This is called Kunshi! Because it is produced in Yufeng Mountain, Kunshan City, it is also called Kunshan Stone, which is one of the four famous stones in ancient China, and is also known as the three famous stones of Jiangsu together with Taihu Stone and Yuhua Stone, and is also known as the Three Treasures of Kunshan together with Qionghua and Dilian. From the Western Han Dynasty to the present, Kunshi has been loved by literati and scholars, and they are all proud of this stone, and even do not hesitate to seek it with a lot of money. After getting the stone, you have to name the stone, chant poems, and praise it. ”

Xiao Peng was also a little flustered after hearing this, but he didn't expect this rockery to be a good thing? "Isn't it just a stone?

"Mining?" Academician Liu laughed: "Do you really think this is an ordinary stone? This kind of stone is produced in Yufeng Mountain, and Yufeng Mountain is only 82 meters high, and the radius is only three miles, after thousands of years of continuous mining, now there are almost no stone blanks. Kunshi is rare, small in existence, and can no longer be mined. Do you know? Kunshi is generally only a little more than a foot in size, and large kunshi is extremely rare! Today, let alone Kunshi that is more than one foot high, even Kunshi that is less than 20 centimeters high is difficult to find! How tall are you? More than two meters! Do you know what this concept is?

Xiao Peng shook his head, what is the concept? How do I know?

Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Now there are two treasures of the town hall in the Kunshi Museum of Kunshan City, they are all from the Ming Dynasty, and they are recorded in the "Old Ming Zhi", which has a history of more than 600 years, these two treasures of the town hall, one is called "Qingyun Glaze", one is one meter eight, 0.85 meters wide, 0.80 meters thick, and weighs about 1.5 tons, and the other is called "Autumn Water Transverse Wave", which is one meter six, 0.8 meters wide, 0.6 meters thick, and weighs about one ton! And these two pieces of Kunshi have always been considered to be the only remaining and the largest ancient Kunshi! As a result, you are good, come out with a big Kunshi more than two meters high, you look at your Kunshi, due to the age, the crystal quality of Kunshi is a little yellowish, which is the characteristic of ancient Kunshi, and then look at it, crystal clear, pores are all over. What are you going to tell me about? You put such a big treasure in the middle of the pool as a rockery!

After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a while: "No, Academician Liu, if it is really as you said, isn't this Kunshi more than 2,000 years old?

"Who said that?" Academician Liu said with wide eyes: "It has been recorded in the book "Qing Secret Collection" that he saw a piece of Kunshi in the Jiaqing period, which was seven or eight feet high, the lower half was 'walnut stone', and the upper half was 'chicken bone slices'. Oh, there are more than 10 varieties of Kunshi, 'chicken bone chips' refers to the criss-crossing of stone chips as thin as chicken bones, giving people a sense of toughness and strength, and it is also the most precious variety of Kunshi, and the surface of 'walnut stone' is full of wrinkles, blocky and abrupt, crystal lovely. Look at the kun stone you have placed here now, isn't that it?"

Xiao Peng saw that what Academician Liu said was really reasonable, this stone really looked like that, could it really be the stone recorded in the "Qing Secret Collection"? Xiao Peng asked: "Then the whereabouts of the stone are not recorded in the "Qing Secret Collection"?"

Academician Liu said: "It is recorded, and it is said that it was bought by a surname of Songjiang for 80,000 yuan. His subsequent whereabouts are unknown. ”

When Xiao Peng heard this, he suddenly realized, Songjiang? Isn't that the magic capital Songjiang District? It is really not far from Jiashan, Lin Jiawen said that his ancestors are also a big family, otherwise he would not be able to marry Miss Fang, and later when he was liberated, his father ran to Baodao with such a stone, but he didn't expect that after his father died, no one knew the treasure.

Maybe Lin Jiawen's father didn't know that this stone was so precious, and he just thought about his hometown. After all, if he really knew that this stone was so precious, would he put it directly in the courtyard as a rockery? Thinking about it again, maybe after this stone was bought, the ancestors of the Lin family would put it there as a rockery, and they didn't care at all. Rich and capricious.

This precious kunshi has been left in this way for 300 years. Maybe it's a good thing, if people had known about his preciousness, maybe this stone would have been gone a long time ago, and it wouldn't have been passed down today.

Fortunately, they didn't care about this stone, but let Xiao Peng pick up a big bargain, and someone actually gave it to him as a gift! Sure enough, a good person has a good reward, and Xiao Peng began to admire himself.

Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't speak, his face changed colorfully, Academician Liu couldn't help but say: "Boss Xiao, you know the preciousness of this stone now, right? Do you still put it here in the wind and sun? Do you say that you are a tyrannical thing?"

When Xiao Peng heard Academician Liu's words, he came back to his senses: "Academician Liu, according to what you said, how should I preserve this kunshi is the most appropriate?"

After hearing this, Academician Liu said: "At the very least, it is necessary to protect the entire Kunshi with a glass cover like the Kunshi Museum in Kunshan City." ”

"Academician Liu, can this kunshi be damaged by blisters?" Xiao Peng asked

"Huh?" Academician Liu was stunned, but still answered honestly: "No。。。。。。 ”

"Can it be damaged by the rain?" Xiao Peng continued.

"Can't。。。。。。 Academician Liu replied.

"Can it be damaged by the sun?" Xiao Peng continued.

"Ugh。。。。。。 Nor can it. Academician Liu continued.

"Then why should I make a glass cover to cover it?" Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.

Academician Liu was stopped by Xiao Peng: "This 。。。。。。 Do you think it's appropriate for you to put such an expensive baby in the open air?"

"What's wrong? It's been sitting like this for hundreds of years, so why not?" Xiao Peng said.

"But。。。。。。 Academician Liu thought for a while: "But it's really expensive and valuable!"

Xiao Peng looked smug and pointed to the pavilion: "Academician Liu, you are also a literati, in such an elegant courtyard as mine, are you embarrassed to open your mouth and close your mouth in advance to raise money? Look there, the whole sea of tea carved from ebony wood of golden silk is just placed in the small pavilion in the wind and sun, I don't care about such valuable things, do you think I seem to be a person who values money?"

Academician Liu really entered Xiao Peng's courtyard for the first time, and when he heard Xiao Peng say this, he hurriedly ran to the small pavilion to take a look, and sure enough, the whole sea of tea carved from Jin Si Nan ebony was placed there.

Academician Liu watched Xiao Peng be silent for a long time, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "You damn nouveau riche。。。。。。 ”

Huh? You're talking about money all the time, okay?
