86, the princess's filial piety (I)
"Okay, princess, this hosta has been bought, you should go back, right?" Jingwen persuaded.
And Li Lizhi immediately thought for a moment and said, "I really think there is one more thing I should do, what should I have done when I came out?" ”
Li Lizhen is playing a little happily now, and she almost forgot what she was going to do when she came out. And Jingwen was also happy to pretend to be stupid, and quickly coaxed this Lori princess back, so that he would be relaxed. It was simply not pleasant to help this princess with too much curiosity carry things by herself. This kind of thankless work is, of course, uncomfortable.
"Princess, you came out to buy some pen and ink for the emperor!" The captain of the guard said.
Jing Wen looked at this guard captain viciously, obviously this guy is adding to the chaos! Originally, it was okay to see that this little princess Lori coaxed back, but now that he says this, I'm afraid this princess will have to buy ink pen and ink.
"That's right! I'm going to buy some ink for my father, I'm going to buy some! Li Lizhi said.
Jingwen couldn't, so he had to go to a shop that specialized in selling ink blocks. The ancient ink was not directly liquid in later generations, the ancient ink was used to burn some combustible materials, and then used some methods to make an ink block, and this ink block had to be used to rub. Sometimes there are ancient people who rub a piece of pitch-black thing in the inkstone in the TV, which is this kind of ink block. This kind of ink block was too complicated to use, so it was gradually phased out. However, he is still a good thing in the eyes of some calligraphers and painters, and there is also a lot of market in the collecting world. Some ancient and modern ink blocks made by famous artists can also be sold for a lot of good prices.
"Boss, is there an ink block here? Just come for a good one! Jingwen said.
When the boss heard Jingwen say that he wanted the best, he immediately came over and took out a few high-grade ink blocks and put them in front of Jingwen.
"Sir, this is a rare treasure made of high-grade ink from our shop, made of 30-year-old pine trees, and made by skilled craftsmen. I only need 10 dollars, how? ”
This boss is the first to take out a more mid-range ink block to test the water. Because if he took out a high-end one all at once, then he was also afraid that this Jingwen would not be able to afford it. Generally speaking, except for the obvious encounter with a local tyrant, the first recommended goods are judged from the identity. Although Jingwen and they looked well-dressed, they didn't reach the appearance of that kind of local tyrant, so they first came up with a mid-range recommendation.
Jingwen didn't speak, took it and handed it to Li Li's little Lori, and asked; "What do you think?"
"Too bad!" Li Lizhi said.
"Little girl, how do you know that my ink is poor? We specialize in making zuò ink, so don't talk nonsense. The boss said.
Li Lizhi snorted: "I have been learning calligraphy and painting since I was born, and this ink is worse than the worst ink I have ever used, so I say that bad is bad." ”
"This ......" the boss wanted to say something.
"Boss, recommend the second one!" Jingwen said.
Jingwen thought that many Tang Dynasty novels said that Princess Li Lizhi of Changle was a princess who was good at calligraphy, painting and danqing, so it was not unusual for him to be familiar with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Since Princess Li Lizhi said that this ink is poor and unsightly, it should be more advanced. Anyway, this is a gift from the princess to the emperor, and it can't be too low-grade.
When the boss saw that Jingwen said this, he immediately took out an ink block again and said: "This is pine smoke ink fired from hundred-year-old pine wood, and I invited a well-known craftsman in the industry to make zuò, and the value is very high." This ink block costs a hundred dollars, you see? ”
Jingwen still didn't talk nonsense, just let Li Li identify it. Now Jingwen doesn't know anything about this ink, so he handed it over to Li Lizhen, an "insider", to identify.
"This is barely the worst ink I've ever used!" Li Lizhi said.
Looking at Li Liqing's expression, it was obvious that this ink was not suitable for him to give to the emperor. This standard ink is the worst ink Li Lizhi has ever used, how can he be embarrassed to give the worst one to the emperor? As a woman, you can't be so "unfilial"! Therefore, for the sake of filial piety, just send a higher one. However, Li Lizhen didn't expect that the more high-grade ink is, the more "ruined" Jingwen will be! Jingwen is dripping blood in his heart now, this princess Li Li's little Lori is too advanced, and the ink she uses is so advanced. How much money is enough for Li Li's little Lori to spend!
"This is made of more than 500 years of old pine wood, and the craftsmen in the court of the previous dynasty were invited to make zuò, which is priceless. It costs about 800 yuan, you see? "The boss is careful, because this is a rare treasure they have here, and if they can't be satisfied with this, they can only use the treasure of the town store.
Li Lizhi took a look at it and said, "This is what I use the most, it's not good to give this away!" ”
Li Lizhi still can't look down on this five-hundred-year-old pine wooden zuò ink block, because this is still too low-grade, obviously she can't look at it. And the corner of Jingwen's mouth twitched, he couldn't even look at the ink of 800 yuan, so how much ink was eye-catching! When the time comes, will the price of Jingwen vomiting blood be able to satisfy the filial piety of Li Lizhi, a little Lori!
"Your grandfather's, my emperor Li Shimin is big, it turns out that your daughter is a gold-swallowing beast, are you unable to support it, so you want me to raise it for you! Don't you see me getting rich, send me a 'gold-swallowing beast' to make me ruined! Jingwen complained in his heart.
"Childe, if you're not satisfied with your cleavage, it's only those ancient inks. Those pine smoke made by ancient craftsmen are priceless. We also have only one ink made by a famous craftsman in the Han Dynasty, which can be said to be one of the earliest pine smoke inks. This value is no longer in the ink, this is a historical witness, are you sure you want to buy it? This is the treasure of our town store and the price is ......"
The boss didn't say it directly, but reminded him very carefully, obviously to remind Jingwen that if he wasn't a local tyrant enough, then don't think about buying Zeng high-grade ink.
Jingwen hurriedly said to Princess Lori: "Since they are all going to be given away, why care about the value?" As long as you have a piece of heart, you can prove your filial piety! ”
Princess Lori slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! Since no amount of money can prove my filial piety, then I will simply make one, which can best reflect my filial piety. ”
Jingwen almost fainted, this little princess is too famous!
