Treasure Hunt all over the World

The exclamation subsided, and the living room became quiet again. All the family members looked at the golden nanmu box on the tea table and Ye Tian's movements.

Ye Tian squatted beside the tea table, snapped off the brass buckle on the front of the box, and then opened the golden nanmu box, presenting it in front of his family.

There were two things in the box, both wrapped in red silk, their true colors could not be seen clearly, only their general shapes could be seen, one was rectangular and the other was irregular oval, both of which were not large in size.

"Xiaotian, what exactly is it? The package is tight enough!"

The second uncle asked curiously, looking forward to the things wrapped in silk.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, the answer will be revealed soon, I believe it will bring you a surprise"

With that said, Ye Tian took the irregular oval object out of the box and put it on the tea table.

"Boom!"

When this object came into contact with the solid wood coffee table, there was a muffled sound.

It can be judged from the sound that this object has some weight.

After putting it away, Ye Tian immediately began to disassemble the wrapped silk, and within a few clicks, the piece of red silk was removed and put aside.

Presented in front of everyone at this moment is a blue-black inkstone with an irregular oval appearance, a simple, noble and elegant shape.

The stone of the inkstone is solid, the texture is beautiful, smooth and delicate, and it gives people a delicate feeling. The surface of the inkstone is as smooth as a mirror, and there is a freehand painting of flowers and birds carved around it, which has an extraordinary artistic conception! Obviously from the hands of a master!

As soon as this square inkstone appeared, it immediately caught the attention of all the family members.

After a short pause, Ye Tianzheng was about to introduce, but his grandfather's voice of surprise had already reached everyone's ears.

"Xiaotian, is this a Duan inkstone?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded with a chuckle and said:

"Grandpa, you have really good eyesight! You can see it at a glance, that's right! This is a Duan inkstone, and it is an old Duan inkstone in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, which has an extraordinary history and is called a national treasure!

You always like calligraphy, and when you have nothing to do, you often splash ink in the study, or meet friends through calligraphy, but unfortunately, you have never had a satisfactory inkstone, which is a bit regrettable.

This top-grade Duan Inkstone is the treasure that grandson bought for you. I believe it can perfectly make up for this regret, so that you can splash ink more heartily. I hope you will always like this gift! "

"I like it! Of course I like it! This is the old pit inkstone in Zhaoqing! It's such a rare treasure that you can meet but you can't ask for it. Come and let me have a look. You must study it carefully!"

Grandpa said excitedly, his excited eyes were shining brightly, extremely bright.

"But you have to be careful, this thing is heavy! Don't slip it by mistake, then the square inkstone will be fine, I'm afraid it will hit your or grandma's feet!"

Ye Tian said with a light smile, took the Duan inkstone and gently placed it on the grandfather's lap, letting the old man appreciate it.

"Just don't worry! I'm not too old to take care of myself. How could such a rare treasure slip from my hands? Let me appreciate this treasure!"

As he said that, Grandpa put on his reading glasses and started admiring the square inkstone with admiration.

In the blink of an eye, an obsessed expression appeared on his face.

Dad, second uncle, and little uncle all gathered around grandpa to admire the Fang Duan inkstone together, everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Obviously, they like this top-grade Duan Inkstone very much.

As a professor of the Chinese Department of Normal University, my mother naturally likes this inkstone very much.

However, she restrained herself a little and didn't go up to appreciate it. There will be plenty of time later, so don't rush!

Grandma, second aunt, and sister-in-law were not very interested, so they looked away after a few glances.

Not to mention the three little brothers and sisters, how much interest can they have in a blue-black stone? The baby they want to see most is not this kind of thing.

After appreciating for a while, the second uncle said excitedly:

"Xiaotian, let me tell you the story of this Fang Duanyan, this baby looks really good, it is indeed a high-grade Duanyan, but we just know it and don't know why!

There must be many stories hidden behind this elegant Duan Inkstone, otherwise you would not say that it is a national treasure. Although the Duan Inkstone is precious, there are very few people who can deserve the title of National Treasure! "

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and explained:

"It's normal that you don't know the story behind this Fang Duan inkstone, after all, you are not professionals in the field of antique art collection, and you don't have professional knowledge in this area.

Even professionals, not many know this square inkstone! Next, I will tell you the origin and story of this Fang Duan inkstone, and you will understand why it is a national treasure! "

With that said, Ye Tian took a step forward to take the Duan inkstone from his grandfather, put it on the coffee table, and began to explain.

"First of all, let me tell you how I got this square inkstone. Near my company, there is the biggest flea market in Manhattan called Chelsea Flea Market.

As long as I stay in New York, I will visit this flea market often, at least once a week. I found this square inkstone at the Chelsea Flea Market.

This Fang Duan inkstone originally belonged to an old beauty stall owner, but that guy was obviously a blind stick, he threw this treasure in a corner of the stall, and didn't even care about it.

One afternoon when I was visiting the Chelsea flea market, I accidentally saw this Duan Inkstone, and I recognized it at a glance as a Duan Inkstone with a history.

Beyond that, I don't know much else, but that's enough! Enough to make me firmly determined to win this Fang Duanyan, who would miss it when encountering such a treasure?

Next, I pretended to see another item on the stall, and then started bargaining with the stall owner, showing a certain interest and desire to buy.

After some bargaining, we basically reached an agreement, but at the moment of the final handshake, I claimed that the agreed price was too high, and I was going to regret it!

At that time, the price was indeed inflated, about one hundred dollars higher, and the stall owner and I knew very well that it was just a modern handicraft, and the price was relatively clear.

In order to facilitate the transaction and earn the one hundred dollars, the stall owner specially delineated a range in his booth and asked me to pick anything from it as compensation.

This Fang Duanyan is included in the designated range, since the opportunity has come, how can I miss it! Soon, he shook hands with the stall owner and made a deal, paid the money and left.

After walking a certain distance, I threw the handicraft to a stall owner I knew, asked him to help sell it, and left the market with this square inkstone by myself.

When I got home, I cleaned it carefully, restored the Fang Duan inkstone to its luster, searched a lot of information, and dug out the story behind it, thus confirming that it is a national treasure!

This is how I got this Duan Inkstone. Strictly speaking, I only spent a hundred dollars to buy this national treasure Duan Inkstone. I can say that I am very lucky! "

Many family members were already dumbfounded. They looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief and envy!

One hundred dollars to buy a Duan Inkstone, a national treasure? How is this possible? It is simply a fantasy!

Even if it's an ordinary Duanyan, it's impossible for a hundred dollars! If you ask for this price in China to buy Duanyan, you will definitely be beaten to death!

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, there was an exclamation in the living room.

"Brother! You are so cunning and a thief! You actually bought a national treasure for $100. You are right, the stall owner is definitely a blind mallet, two hundred and five!"

"Hahaha, it's so interesting! Brother! Next time there is such a good show, it must be broadcast live. Even if we can't go to the United States, we can listen to it on the phone. It must be very funny!"

The exclamation came from several younger brothers and sisters. These guys are pistachios, and their emotions are always so outgoing.

The adults restrained a lot, but they were also full of smiles and very happy.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Now let me tell you the story behind this Fang Duan Inkstone and its value. After listening to the following content, you will understand why I say this is a national treasure-level Duan Inkstone!

After many researches, I can say with certainty that this is a Duan inkstone belonging to the famous writers of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, who are known as one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty. It is of great significance! "

Before the words were finished, Grandpa jumped up from the sofa, widened his eyes and said loudly:

"What? This is the Duan inkstone of Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, the great writers of the Ming Dynasty. Xiaotian, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

In an instant, Grandpa's face was full of ecstasy, and he was a little uncontrollable in his excitement.

Seeing his grandfather's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling a little worried, whether his body could withstand such a violent emotional impact, especially his heart!

Dad, second uncle, and little uncle were also shocked, their eyes almost flew out of their sockets, and their faces were full of ecstatic expressions!

Of course, there was a bit of disbelief in their eyes.

That's Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! It is impossible for anyone who has a little understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty not to know him!

Xu Wei was not only one of the most outstanding writers in the Ming Dynasty, but also a very outstanding calligrapher, painter, and dramatist, who left many immortal works for the entire nation.

In addition to these dazzling titles, Xu Wei is also a strong military strategist and national hero! Made great achievements in the fight against the Japanese.

Not only the grandfather and father were full of surprises, but the mother was even more ecstatic, her eyes were fixed on the square inkstone on the coffee table, and she was not willing to move away for a moment.

Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang! That is definitely an idol-level character! This is true for everyone who studies Chinese and engages in Chinese education, no exception!

Grandma, Second Aunt, Sister-in-law, and even Linlin, everyone's faces were full of ecstasy.

Obviously, they all knew Xu Wei's name and his position in the history of Chinese literature and Ming Dynasty.

Only Dongzi, Chenxi, and Betty looked blankly, looking at the ecstatic family in front of them, and at the black inkstone on the coffee table!

Ye Tian got up and walked to Grandpa, supported his arm, stretched out his hand and stroked Grandpa's back a few times, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa, don't get too excited. It's not good for your health. Just sit still and listen to me slowly explain the story and the basis for my judgment!"

"Can you not be excited? Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! Anyone who likes calligraphy, who doesn't know him? He is the number one calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty! It is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world!"

Grandpa said excitedly, but he still listened to Ye Tian's persuasion and sat back on the sofa.

After Grandpa's mood calmed down a little bit, and the mood of the rest of the family gradually calmed down, Ye Tian continued:

"Grandpa, I'm very sure that I didn't make a mistake in the appraisal, and it's impossible to make a mistake! This is indeed Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang's Duan inkstone, which he used in his later years.

The reason why I am so sure is that there are evidences to support it. These evidences are not elsewhere, but on this square inkstone. As long as you observe carefully, you can see it! "

"Ah! The evidence is on the inkstone? Didn't you see the font size on the inkstone?"

Amidst the exclamation, everyone's attention was once again focused on the Duanyan.
