After Professor Zhou learned about Xia Shao's rescue of Pang Dun, Zhou Wang and his wife bought good cigarettes and wine, and took Pang Dun with them to Xia Guoxi's house to express their gratitude. He was so fat that he didn't fall down. As for the matter of Shu Mark and Hao Jin holding the collar and spinning around in circles, it must have been made up by the children.
After Du Ping returned home, he was beaten up by his father, who kept him honest for a long time.
Since that day, Professor Zhou became more and more kind to Xia Shao and taught her her homework diligently. Soon, he discovered something that made him even more delighted.
Xia Shao's comprehension is very good. She can master everything she learns, her handwriting is better than the average child, and she never misses any arithmetic problem.
Professor Zhou was overjoyed. He retired and actually taught a genius
He was so happy that he said from then on that the child only learned these things, which would inevitably be a waste of talent. After talking to Xia Guoxi, he finally decided to take Xia Shao to his home after school and teach her some calligraphy, painting and calligraphy alone.
Xia Guoxi thought this was a good thing, so he didn't shirk it. He just remembered that his granddaughter, who had been neglected by him, had suddenly become more capable since a year ago. She only did things to make him look good, and her academic performance was also good, so his attitude towards Xia Shao became much better. He was in a good mood and turned a blind eye to Xia Shao's running up the mountain every morning, too lazy to talk about it.
Xia Shao was also very interested in Chinese studies, so she agreed.
From then on, she went to the mountains every morning and noon, and went to Professor Zhou's house after school in the afternoon. She lived a fulfilling life.
Professor Zhou built another house not far from Zhou Wang's home, with a main house and two east and west wing rooms. The west wing is where Xia Shao and Pang Dun learn calligraphy, French and painting. Professor Zhou is Pang Dun's second grandfather. Since Professor Zhou was going to teach, he simply took him with him.
After school that day, Xia Shao and Pang Dun came to the room. As soon as they laid the rice paper and inkstone on the table, they saw Professor Zhou carefully entering the room holding something.
Pang Dun was curious, so he ran over first, looked at the table, and asked, "Second Grandpa, what are you holding?"
"Oh, be careful! Don't touch it, don't touch it! This is an old object. If it falls, it will hurt you to death." Professor Zhou protected the thing like a treasure.
Xia Shao walked over and took a look, and saw an inkstone on the table, with ganoderma-like cloud patterns embossed on all sides. The stone was fine in texture, black in color, and there was a pattern on the bottom of the inkstone, which was engraved with the running script of "Chuanshan Zhang Wentao". There are seals of "Chuan Shan", "Zhang Wen Tao Seal" and "Laizhou Prefect", which are finely carved and in good condition.
Professor Zhang looked excited, just like a child who had found a treasure. Regardless of the fact that the two children in front of him were only seven or eight years old, he pulled them to share his joy, "Grandpa, let me tell you, this Fang Duanyan is today I went to the city's No. 1 Middle School to teach, and I picked it up when I was passing by the antique market when I came back! This Wentao was a Jinshi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. He was a famous poet, calligrapher and painter. He once served as the prefect of Laizhou. This square inkstone is on the bottom. It had the seal of 'Laizhou Prefect'. However, because the inkstone was in such good condition, had a seal, and was a Duan inkstone, many people at the time thought it must be a fake! Haha, I finally bought it for 100 yuan. Yes, according to my more than 20 years of collecting experience, this inkstone is definitely a scam, and I most likely picked it up and missed it!"
Professor Zhang spoke very fast, which showed his excitement at this time. Pang Dun was dazed listening to this, and nodded blankly, with a look of admiration on his face. In his opinion, the second grandfather was the most amazing person in the world.
But when Professor Zhou was halfway through his words, Xia Shao's eyes were fixed on the Fang Duan Inkstone.
She always felt that this inkstone gave her a very strange feeling, like an ancient wave. Since practicing the method of cultivating qi on the mountain, Xia Shao has become more and more sensitive to the vitality of heaven and earth. So when she felt this way, she used her celestial eye to look at the Duan Inkstone on the table.
At this glance, I saw a faint vitality exuding around the Duan Inkstone. Although it was not surrounded by the golden auspicious aura like the jade gourd that Master gave me, this inkstone did have a faint aura.
It was this aura that made her feel ancient and peaceful.
Xia Shao's heart moved. Could it be that this Duan Inkstone is really genuine
"In a few days, I will go to the city again. I know some retired old guys in the city. I will take them to them for appraisal!" Professor Zhou said with a smile.
Xia Shao tentatively told Uncle Tang Zong what happened that day when he went up the mountain the next morning. She did not mention the Sky Eye, but said that Professor Zhou had an old Duan Inkstone, and she felt peaceful after looking at it.
Tang Zongbo smiled and said: "Everything has spirit. Some old objects have experienced the accumulation of time, and they will be contaminated with some of the vitality of heaven and earth. People who often come into contact with these will not only have peace of mind, but also increase their longevity over time." Yes. However, this is only limited to those who come from the right places. Most of those who come out of the tombs have evil spirits. If they are exposed to them for a long time, they will be harmful to the body. People who can communicate with the vitality of heaven and earth will not be affected by these spirits. The senses are naturally sharper than ordinary people, but unless they are magic weapons, the aura contaminated by ordinary antiques is relatively weak, and even us, most of them cannot sense it. During the period when our Xuanmen was at its peak, it was said that there were ancestors who could sense it. The vitality of heaven and earth is thin, but it is impossible to have such a person nowadays."
Xia Shao's heart suddenly changed after hearing this. She could see the vitality of heaven and earth with her celestial eye. Doesn't that mean that she could identify antiques with her celestial eye
Although Dongshi is a third-tier small city, in a few years it will become a famous center for ceramics and antiques in the north. In ancient times, an official kiln and several private kilns were opened here. Many people in Dongshi have made a living by the ceramic industry for generations.
It is now the early summer of 1992, and the national economy has just entered a stage of rapid development. In a few years, the ceramics industry will become a pillar industry in Dongshi and drive the development of the antiques industry, leading to a collecting boom.
In Xia Shao's memory, probably since 1997, there was a bustling ceramics and antiques street in Dongshi. And a group of ceramic dealers and antique dealers appeared, among which there were even well-known domestic ceramic groups and giant antique dealers. It makes a small town in Dongshi prosperous and becomes a wonder in the surrounding cities.
But that was five years later.
Now the economy has just started to develop from the coast, and the wind has not yet blown to Dongshi. The economy is still not doing well at this time.
But, because of this, this is an opportunity! Is not it
A flash of light flashed in Xia Shao's eyes. Today's antique market is not very prosperous. The collecting boom has not yet come. There are not many people in the antique market, and there are not that many people who come to the countryside to collect antiques. In other words, it is not as difficult to pick up losses at this time as it was in previous years. Moreover, she has the ability of clairvoyance, so it is simply impossible to pick up losses!
Xia Shao did have some money because she was studying in the village. Her mother, Li Juan, was afraid that she would ask her grandma for money to buy snacks, so she took away the New Year's money and treated it as pocket money for her, telling her to save it. it took.
Although the money is not much, the prices these days are many times lower than ten years later!
Xia Shao laughed and just did it!
Every weekend during the holidays, her parents would come back and take her back to their home in the city for two days. Xia Shao took this opportunity and lied about going out with friends, so she carried her schoolbag and headed into the antique market.
