Golden Eye

Yan Qingsong opened the silk bag, revealing a small jade figure inside.This villain has a nose and eyes, of course it takes a little imagination to determine whether it is old or young.The lines of the facial features are inscribed lines, very simple.There is also a body, and the texture of the clothes is also simply carved out.Although small, it can be seen that this little figure is light and well-proportioned.

Lin Qianyi recognized it immediately, "It's Yu Weng Zhong."

"I have to give Xiaoxuan something nice anyway." Yan Qingsong handed it to Xuanning.

Yu Wengzhong?

Xuan Ning still knows something about this.This is a fairly common figure in ancient jade, and its source is a guard of Qin Shihuang.It is said that his name is Weng Zhong, and he is an invincible guy.After his death, in order to seek spiritual protection, Qin Shihuang cast his image in copper and placed it outside the Sima Gate of Xianyang Palace.

In the Han Dynasty, Weng Zhong became popular and was used as a talisman by people.At that time, the engraving technique of "Han Eight Knives" was adopted, that is, the most concise lines were used to show a rough and powerful upright image, which was bright and concise, which was very distinctive.Ming Xiekun once mentioned in "Gold and Jade Trivia", saying that "only eight knives are used to carve a Weng Zhong", which is a symbolic depiction technique.There were also Weng Zhong in the past dynasties after the Han Dynasty, but in terms of craftsmanship, the Han Dynasty is the most delicate and has the charm.

Xuan Ning thought at first that Yan Qingsong was just being polite, looking for a good imitation as a gift.Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it and touched it, the picture and writing that appeared in his head startled him, and he subconsciously sent Yu Weng Zhong to Yan Qingsong, "Brother Yan, this is too precious...I can't take it." .”

"Oh?" Yan Qingsong was slightly startled, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Lin Qianyi again, "Xiao Xuan, can you recognize the age and texture of this?"

"This should be..." Xuan Ning said according to the text that appeared in his head just now, "Jade Weng Zhong in the Han Dynasty was made of Hetian Baiyu, but..." He hesitated to talk about the color on it?After all, it is a kind of color, and he should not be able to see it.But it is obvious that this Jade Weng Zhong actually has three kinds of colors. Although he doesn't know much about the way of colors, he also knows that the more colors, the rarer it is.

"But what?" Yan Qingsong asked with interest.

Xuan Ning couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his face in Lin Qianyi's direction.

Lin Qianyi immediately received a hint of asking for help on his face. He was so thoughtful, and after a little thought, he understood.From the long-term relationship between myself and Xuan Ning, as well as the original investigation report, I can get some clues.Xuan Ning should have an unknown method to find out the various details of Yu Weng Zhong, but it would be too shocking to tell the world, so he hesitated.

He smiled slightly. Now, of course, it’s time to stand up and save the situation, "I said, Lao Yan, where did you find this jade Weng Zhong? It’s really from the Han Dynasty? Hey, the color on it is still beautiful. Quite a few, there are actually three kinds! If it’s true, that would be great!”

As soon as Xuan Ning heard it, he knew that Lin Qianyi had understood what he meant, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a snicker.It's just that he still doesn't understand the knowledge systematically enough, so he still asks, "What's so important about the color?"

Lin Qianyi kicked Yan Qingsong, "I know what's going on but I don't know why, I'd better let Lao Yan explain it carefully, he must be really good at this."

"That's fine!" Yan Qingsong is obviously a bit good at being a teacher. He immediately took the big bag and began to explain the details, "Xiaoxuan, you really know the goods. This Jade Weng Zhong is a good thing that I managed to find recently. It is old and good. The quality is excellent!" He gave a thumbs up to compare, and then said, "If you want to talk about this Yu Wengzhong... oh, what is Wengzhong, you should know?" Xuanning nodded before continuing, "Then let's talk directly about the color , this Jade Weng Zhong, besides the whiteness of Tianbaiyu itself, also has some copper-green ooze, rice grits ooze, and mercury ooze."

"Oh." Xuan Ning stared at him in admiration.

Yan Qingsong was very pleased with his expression, "This jade is indeed unearthed jade. It was originally part of the tomb. It is copper-green, it is formed by the simultaneous burial of bronzes and jades. Rice grits are jade and clay. Organic oxides are formed by the long-term oxidation reaction, or it is caused by the jade being impregnated by humidity and temperature under the strata, and it is most likely to appear on the jade species of Hetian jade! And mercury oozing can also prove the origin of this thing in disguise When the ancients collected the corpse, they often filled the corpse with mercury and plugged it with jade. The jade was soaked in the mercury, so it was called this. Of course, the mercury on this thing may not be real. Because of mercury. Anyway, it is also the color that appeared in the tomb. What? Fake? Of course not! Although there are many ways to fake it, for example, the mercury color can be made by smoking. But it really needs to be identified It’s not difficult, the fake color is usually bright and shiny, if you wipe it with alcohol cotton, the color will fade on [-]% of the cotton!” Yan Qingsong said very proudly, “I still have a little research on jade…”

Xuan Ning nodded secretly, and his supernatural ability also told him that this jade Weng Zhong was genuine Han Dynasty jade.

"In short, where the ancient jade was unearthed, and under what circumstances it was unearthed, the color it presents is different, just like the identification of jade. In a museum, it is used to verify the age, culture and art. And so on. Moreover, the staining of ancient jade is a natural phenomenon, which is different from artificial dyeing, so it is more respected." What Yan Qingsong said was straightforward, "there is also a theory about the number of bleeds, like this Three-color, can be called Sanyuan Jidi, barely can be considered four-color, called Fulu Shouxi! Five-color is five blessings holding longevity, six-color... Anyway, it is how to celebrate and auspicious. I didn’t spend much on this jade. A little money, so Xiao Xuan, you can accept it with peace of mind, which is a little bit of my big brother's kindness." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qianyi again, "How about it, Lao Lin, I am generous enough. The so-called fat and water Outsider Tian, ​​it's nothing..."

Lin Qianyi's heart moved, and he met his gaze, did this guy see something?

Yan Qingsong continued without realizing it: "I've already given such a big gift, Lao Lin, did you give us little Xuan anything?"

"Uh..." Lin Qianyi was speechless for a while.He has known Xuan Ning for so long, and he has never given Xuan Ning anything.In the past, I didn't think it was necessary. Friends, the most important thing is to talk to each other.But now that he has recognized his feelings for Xuan Ning, he also began to wonder if he should give him something... just as a token of love?

Xuan Ning rescued him at this time, tilting his head, with a trace of slyness on his face, "Brother Yan, or... I don't accept your gift anymore?"

Yan Qingsong hurriedly wiped off his sweat: "Yes! Just defend your brother Lin..."

"..." Xuan Ning wondered if he was jealous, did it mean that Brother Lin might still be with him?Obviously it should be something to be happy for Lin Qianyi, but there is only traces of sourness in his heart.

"Hey! Old Yan!" Lin Qianyi habitually squeezed Yan Qingsong, "I said you just got this jade, right? Obviously you haven't traded it yet!"

"You're pretty accurate." Yan Qingsong rolled his eyes, pulled up the hem of his gown and wiped his hands, then asked Xuan Ning, "Does Xiao Xuan know anything about Pan Yu? If not, I'll let Brother Yan teach you Alright."

"En." Xuan Ning made a gesture of all ears.

Lin Qianyi felt uncomfortable seeing him so well-behaved, and it was not good to interrupt his study, so he could only stare at Yan Qingsong from the side.

Yan Qingsong pretended not to see it, and continued talking on his own.

"Generally speaking, the unearthed jade will be eroded by soil, burial objects and the like, and will be colored. People in the past thought so. They said that the ancient jade was warm and pure, crystal clear and clean, and the color in it was also very Wonderful, just like the "floating clouds covering the sun, dancing cranes swimming in the sky", it is very interesting, not only pleasing to the eye, but also refreshing. But ancient jade, no matter how beautiful the color is, if it is not beautiful, that kind of beauty , it will be hidden and not obvious, it is difficult to see the jade, so this jade is like a stone on the side of the road, meaningless."

Yan Qingsong shook his head while talking, and with his long gown, he really looked like an ancient person.Of course, this is under the premise of ignoring his lazy appearance in the chair.

"Liu Datong divided the pan jade into three types: urgent pan, slow pan and Italian pan in "Gu Yu Bian", which is what we call Wenpan, Wupan and Italian pan. The ancient jade pan has been produced since ancient times. There is a very detailed introduction. There is a record in "Theory of Jade" that "the old jade method is wrapped in a cloth bag, mixed with bran, kneaded and stroked all day long, and the original quality of the jade is revealed as success after many years of menstruation". The Chinese plate refers to putting the jade in a small cloth bag, storing it next to the body, and using the relatively constant temperature of the human body to plate it. After a year, rub the plate in your hand until the jade returns to its original appearance. This method is time-consuming and expensive. It takes a lot of effort, and unfortunately, it will take who knows how many years it will take to work."

"After such a long time, hasn't it been faster?" Xuan Ning asked curiously.

"That's why there is also a martial arts game! It is through artificial strength, continuous playing, and the goal of becoming familiar with it as soon as possible. After a year of wearing jade, the hardness gradually recovers, so it is wrapped in old white cloth, and then it is rubbed day and night by a special person. The more you rub it, the hotter it will be. After a while, replace it with a new white cloth and continue rubbing. The high temperature of jade rubbing and heating can quickly force out the dust in the jade, so that the color will continue to condense, and the jade color will become brighter. If it goes well, it will take about a year It can be restored.”

"That's not bad."

"Not bad." Lin Qianyi sneered at this, "Accidentally destroying the jade, this method is very reckless, not a businessman, players rarely take it."

"Oh." Xuan Ning nodded obediently.

Lin Qianyi rubbed his hair, this time Xuan Ning didn't hide, which made him very satisfied.

It's not that Xuan Ning doesn't want to avoid it, it's just that he didn't pay attention here, "What is the intention?"

"This...Xiaoxuan, guess what?" Yan Qingsong didn't answer immediately, instead he asked him to play a game of "guess, guess, guess, guess, guess".

"Hmm..." Xuan Ning thought for a while, then spoke slowly.
