Of course, people continue to go to the Ming Mansion to find out how well the appreciation party arranged by the Ming family is prepared! It's just that most of them can't get in!

After all, in addition to the Ming family's guard force, Jinyi Wei and Dongchang are also on guard, and anyone who approaches the Ming Mansion has been searched several times, where can they still get close to the Ming Mansion!

As a result, everyone is even more itchy, and they all hope that the Ming House can be opened as soon as possible, so that everyone can feast their eyes and relieve their itching.

So, in the midst of great anticipation, the appreciation of the Ming Mansion finally came.

On this day, in the early morning, the first rays of sunlight had just swept to Beijing, and the gate of the Ming Mansion was immediately opened, and a team of servants slowly walked out of the gate.

But I saw that the servants of the Ming Mansion placed a thing like a newspaper column on the left side, and in addition, some bookcases were placed on the left side, and some pen, ink, paper and inkstones were neatly arranged on the bookcase.

What is this for? The spies on the sidelines were confused.

They didn't know what it was for, but a spy was quick to write it down.

The spies probed their brains and continued to observe the layout of the Ming Mansion.

The servants of the Ming family did not squint, took care of themselves, entered the Ming house again, took out some things, and slowly arranged them.

I saw them holding a nine-foot-wide roll of red objects in their hands and slowly spreading them on the ground in front of the gate.

Just as this volume of things was unfolding, under the sun, it was instantly full of colors.

The spies who were secretly observing the Ming Mansion instantly brightened their eyes, what is this? How can it be so good-looking? How can it be so beautiful?

There was that shrewd and well-informed spy who instantly fell into a daze, muttering to himself, impossible, impossible, how could this be?

However, how impossible, people have already put things on the ground, how can it be impossible!

Everyone wiped their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, and some even secretly pinched themselves with their hands, instantly grinning with pain on their faces, but their eyes were even more shocking!

Not only these spies, but even the high-level officials of the Jinyi Guard and the East Factory secretly guarding the Ming Mansion were all shocked, and their faces were in disbelief!

But it turned out that the shining red thing was actually spread on the ground by the Ming family's servants, obviously, this is just a carpet to welcome guests! But it will be so luxurious, what kind of trouble is Ming Zhongxin going to make?

Then the servants turned back to the Ming Mansion through the small doors on both sides.

At this moment, suddenly, a team of people slowly stepped out of the small doors on both sides.

In an instant, the spies were shining brightly, just because the team of people who came out was actually a woman wearing a variety of cheongsams and a bright ** person, they were lined up on both sides, standing slowly, maintaining a respectful posture, no longer speaking, waiting quietly.

Then the silence returned to the front of the Ming Mansion.

The spies know that they are waiting for the arrival of the guests!

One by one, the spies turned away in an instant and went to report back.

Of course, some other spies continued to observe, waiting for the next move of the Ming family.

Time passed slowly, but the women in front of the Ming Mansion were silent, motionless, and quietly waiting.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Here it comes! Everyone's hearts moved, and they all turned their eyes to the place where the sound came from.

I saw a luxurious carriage slowly coming towards the Ming Mansion.

The carriage quickly came to the front of the Ming house, stopped, and the coachman immediately jumped out of the carriage, arranged the steps, and stood aside.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a young man lifted the curtain and slowly got out of the carriage.

Raising his eyes, he saw the shining carpet for the first time, and was stunned for a while, but then he smiled, shook his head and said to himself, "Alas, this kid is really a!" ”

The carriage curtain was lifted again, and a middle-aged man stepped into the carriage.

Similarly, when he saw the scene in front of the Ming Mansion, he was also stunned for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at the young man.

"Big brother, this Ming Zhongxin is a sassy bag!" The young man laughed.

The middle-aged man didn't laugh, but just ordered, "Go back!" ”

"No!" The coachman answered.

The middle-aged man stopped looking at him and walked towards the Ming Mansion.

The young man was stunned, and then followed.

At this moment, at the gate of the Ming Mansion, Ming Youren slowly walked out of the Ming Mansion and greeted him with a smile on his face.

From afar, he hugged his fists, "Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Bo have arrived, and they are far away!" ”

Shou Ning waited for Zhang Heling to smile and arch his hand, "Heling is a little reckless, it's a little early!" ”

"Not early, not early, just right!" Ming Youren said with a smile.

"Uncle Ming, what is this?" Zhang Heling pointed to the layout next to him and the woman asked.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Let's call my word Renyu! Ming Youren hurriedly said.

"Where, I have a relationship with my peers, you are an elder, how can you trespass?" Zhang Heling's face was solemn.

When Ming Youren heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and no longer demanded.

"These arrangements are just some things arranged by the head of the house as a sign of respect! Come, come, come, and ask Shou Ning to wait for Mobao! ”

Shou Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

"What is this going to do? What does it do? Zhang Yanling, who was next to him, asked curiously.

"The head of the family thinks that this is the first art fair, and we have to leave something worth remembering, and we will have a witness in the future." Ming Youren said with a smile.

Oh! Zhang Yanling was in the rectum, and after hearing it, he stopped talking.

But Zhang Heling next to him was moved in his heart and looked at Ming Youren, "CITIC has a heart, is it that he is still going to hold the second session?" ”

"Waiting for the master to be wise!" Ming Youren said with a smile, "CITIC does have this idea, but it also depends on whether this first session is done smoothly, and then we will talk about it!" ”

"With the co-ordination of CITIC, I believe that this session will be successful!" Zhang Heling glanced thoughtfully at the face in front of him, and said pointedly.

"Huh!" Suddenly, Zhang Yanling next to him exclaimed.

Ming Youren couldn't help but look at Zhang Yanling.

But I saw Zhang Yanling pointing to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table with a stunned face, "Uncle Ming, what is this?" ”

Ming Youren instantly knew what he was surprised about, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, these are lake pens, Hui ink, rice paper, and Duan inkstone." Uncle is really like a torch! ”

Zhang Yanling is not complacent, after all, although he is a gentleman, but he is also knowledgeable, not to mention, in order to pretend to be forced over the years, he has also put a lot of effort into it, after all, these are the things that literati and ink writers attach the most importance to, how can he not know that this is not something to be proud of.

But he was very surprised, Ming Zhongxin was so generous, and he easily put these world-famous things on the table outside the door, you know, if these things are known by the literati and ink writers, but to scold the mother, to spoil these things that are sacred to the literati, it is simply a crime!

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are clerical tools, that is, the four treasures of the study. The names of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Historically, the things referred to by "pen, ink, paper, and inkstone" have changed repeatedly. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, "pen, ink, paper, inkstone" specifically refers to Xuancheng Zhuge pen, Huizhou Li Tinggui ink, Chengxintang paper, Huizhou Wuyuan Longwei inkstone. Since the Song Dynasty, "pen, ink, paper, inkstone" specifically refers to Xuanbi (Xuancheng, Anhui), Huimo (She County, Huizhou, Anhui), Xuan Paper (Xuanchengjing County, Anhui), She Yan (She County, Huizhou, Anhui), Tao Yan (Zhuoni County, Gansu), Duan Yan (Zhaoqing, Guangdong, known as Duanzhou in ancient times), after the Yuan Dynasty, Hubi (Huzhou, Zhejiang) gradually prospered, and Xuanbi gradually declined.

Lake Pen, also known as Hu Ying, is one of the "Four Treasures of Study" and is known as "the crown of the pen". China's brush originated very early, and the "lake brush" was famous all over the world in the Yuan Dynasty six or seven hundred years ago. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Xuanbi was the most famous in the country. Su Dongpo and Liu Gongquan both like to use Xuanzhou pens; After the Yuan Dynasty, the Xuanbi was gradually replaced by the Lake Pen. According to the "Huzhou Mansion Chronicle", it is recorded: "Feng Qingke and Lu Wenbao made pens in the Yuan Dynasty, and their hometowns were accustomed to it, so the lake pen name is in the world." "Huzhou Feng Bi is wonderful, and there is also a capable worker Shen Rixin. If you encounter Yutang waving your hand, you don't think the price is like a pearl. ”

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Xuancheng, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, withered due to the war, so that Huzhou, which borders Xuancheng, was very fortunate to be spared from the looting of the soldiers and became the place where the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty lived. Some of the pen workers in Xuancheng migrated to the nearby Huzhou, relying on the only remaining brush users in the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, and to improve the pen-making process according to their needs, Hubi was born.

Lake pen is also known as "lake ying", which is its biggest feature. The so-called "Ying" refers to a neat and transparent sharp edge at the tip of the pen, which is called "sunspot" by people in the industry. The depth of "sunspot" is the length of Fengying, which is made of high-grade goat hair through nearly 100 processes such as soaking, pulling, and, combing, connecting and combing, combing, and combing, and combing, and combing, and so on.

The fame of the lake pen began in the Yuan. The paintings of Qian Shunju (Qian Xuan), the characters of Zhao Mengfu, and the pen of Feng Yingke are called the three uniques of Wu Xing. With the dominance of Zhao Zi at home and abroad, the reputation of the government and the opposition, Zhao Mengfu's "wonderful pen" in the hand of Feng Yingke, who holds the pen all day long and writes thousands of words in the day, has made the name go far and wide and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is a Yuan generation, Huzhou pen making ability to work one after another, Feng Yingke, Shen Rixin, Wen Sheng, Yang Xianjun, Lu Ying and other more than ten people left their names in the history volume, and the name of "Lake Pen" was laid.

Hui ink belongs to the south of Zhili, there are many varieties, mainly lacquer smoke, oil smoke, pine smoke, whole smoke, clean smoke, glue reduction, incense and so on. High-grade lacquer smoke ink is made of more than 10 kinds of materials such as tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold leaf, pearl powder, etc. Huimo integrates painting, calligraphy, carving, modeling and other arts, making ink itself a comprehensive art treasure. It has the characteristics of falling paper such as lacquer, black and moist color, long-lasting, paper and pen are not glued, rich fragrance, and greasy texture.

Xuan paper, the same belongs to the south of Zhili, the texture is tough, smooth and clean like jade, not moth-eaten and not rotten, the characteristics of the ink rhyme changeable, enjoy the reputation of "millennium longevity paper", paint with rice paper inscription, the ink rhyme is clear, the layers are clear, the backbone is reserved, the momentum is beautiful, thick but not muddy, light but not gray, its words and its paintings, leaping on the paper, the spirit is flying, and the eyes are shining.

Xuan paper is divided into raw and cooked Xuan, and there is still a difference between the two.

It is relatively easy to write on raw rice paper with thick ink, so when creating calligraphy and painting, you need to master the intensity of the ink to be handy. The categories of Shengxuan include Jiagong, Jade Edition, Jingpi, Shan Xuan, Mianlian, etc.

Cooked rice paper is suitable for painting strokes rather than ink freehand paintings. Cooked Xuan can be reprocessed, coral, mica paper, cold gold, wine gold, wax gold rib, peach tiger skin, etc. are all reprocessed by the cooked Xuan color paper.

There is a big difference in the quality of shengxuan, and the important criterion for distinguishing the good and bad is the degree of display of ink rhyme, that is, the degree of so-called "ink polishing". High-quality shengxuan has "splashed ink, bold and dripping; The thick ink is shiny and bright; The light ink is clearly layered; Ink accumulation, thick and deep". The method of testing the display of ink rhyme is generally a comparison method, which compares several different raw propaganda after inking, and the ink should not be too thick during the test, because it is difficult to produce subtle changes in ink color if it is too thick. Due to the difference in the purity of papermaking fibers, the degree of pulp, and the ratio of skin pulp and straw pulp, as well as the difference in manufacturing technology, the effect after inking is also different. After the high-quality Shengxuanjing is inscribed, the halo of the ink color is clear and the tension is uniform. Poor quality raw xuan, the ink does not clearly show halos after oozing, the ink color is dull, or the ink penetrates unevenly. If you can't display the halo of ink, you can't use it as a paper for painting and calligraphy.

Duan inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China, and is as famous as Gansu Tao inkstone, Anhui She inkstone, and Shanxi Chengni inkstone. It was produced in Duanzhou in the early Tang Dynasty.

Duan inkstone is solid stone, lubricated, delicate, delicate and well-known in the world, with the end of the inkstone grinding ink is not sluggish, the ink is fast, the ink is smooth, the writing is smooth and does not damage, the handwriting color remains unchanged, the end inkstone is good, whether it is hot or harsh winter, press its inkstone heart by hand, the inkstone heart is blue and green, and the water vapor is not dry for a long time.

And Ming Zhongxin actually prepared all these guys, it seems that this kid is very interested in this skill appreciation! Zhang Yanling's eyes flickered, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Master Hou, please leave Mobao!" At this time, Ming Youren looked at Shou Ninghou who was watching, and invited again softly.

"Is this going to be a poem?" Shou Ning looked at Ming Youren.

"No, as long as Hou Ye leaves his name, it means that he has participated in this appreciation meeting, and it can be regarded as support for the first appreciation meeting, of course, if Hou Ye wants to leave a poem, it is better!" Ming Youren replied with a smile.

Shou Ninghou breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, there is no need to leave poems, after all, he knows his own writing, so he will not be embarrassed. And leave your name, it's no problem, after all, I control all the things of the Zhang family, and I usually have to sign some bills, of course, just the name, I am still sure of this, after all, in order not to show my ugliness in front of others, I still practiced for a while!

Shou Ninghou raised his legs and came to the table, looked at the woman in cheongsam who was inking, picked up the lake pen, and was about to sign it.

However, Shou Ninghou was stunned, just because there was no rice paper in front of him, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to take the rice paper next to him.

"Wait, wait!" The woman spoke.
