I Have Unlimited Magic Skills

Chapter 432 Copper Medicine Pestle, Ancient Stone Chess

The teacher Guan didn't know the truth, and saw Dr. Wen and Li Quanlang's beautiful appearance, and Dr. Wen never got close to other young men. This time, he tried his best to help Li Quan find books.

Teacher Guan naturally thinks that the two are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Li Quan looked up and saw a large wooden shelf similar to Bogu shelf in the living room.

Usually, most people's antique racks either display a few bottles of good wine, or display some works of art, antiques and the like.

However, what is placed on this Bogu shelf are all kinds of books, statues of figures, used antique objects and so on by Shen Kuo. For example, the chaoban used by Shen Kuo, the bronze helmet worn, the inkstone used and so on.

They were all collected by Mr. Guan.

It is simply a small exhibition of Shen Kuo's related items.

That's not counting.

I saw as many as a dozen portraits of Shen Kuo hanging on the wall next to the Bogu shelf.

Others arrange family portraits and family photos on the wall to form a photo album wall. Teacher Guan created a portrait exhibition of Shen Kuo on the wall.

"Teacher Guan really likes Jinshi Shen!"

Li Quan sighed.

"Haha, I personally admire Shen Kuo's style of conduct and character. If the young man knows that Shen Kuo was a Jinshi in high school, he must be a fellow!"

Teacher Guan laughed happily.

Sometimes, a common hobby can instantly bring the relationship between two people closer.

"Teacher Guan admires Shen Kuo's character and behavior style, but what I admire is his achievements in medicine. When Shen Kuo took part in the imperial examination, he won the rank of Jinshi. Not to mention Jinshi and the first degree, it is already very remarkable to be able to obtain a Jinshi background, or even worse with a Jinshi background.

Shen Kuo has indeed lived up to his reputation as a scholar, and has achieved extremely high achievements in various fields.

In terms of medicine, his collection and arrangement of prescriptions and his dialectical analysis of Dharma and pharmacology are all admirable. "

Li Quan talked eloquently, detailing Shen Kuo's goodness,

good thing.

Communication is a deep science.

If Li Quan simply said that he liked Shen Kuo but couldn't say anything, it would make Mr. Guan feel that he was deliberately catering to his own preferences.

Now, after Li Quan elaborated so much about Shen Kuo's personal information, Mr. Guan immediately recognized him highly.

"Young man, those two books are Shen Kuo's medical books. There is also this medicine pestle, which I heard was used by Shen Kuo to pound medicine. Look, the content of Shen Kuo's medical books is engraved on the medicine pestle seat."

After Mr. Guan initially recognized Li Quan, his attitude became more enthusiastic.

He began to introduce to Li Quan which of these collections are the medical books and medicine tools that Li Quan needs.

Li Quan first picked up two medical books and looked at them, but they were not real antiques.

They are all reprinted works of later generations.

One is "Good Prescription" by Shen Kuo, and this Li Quan has already read the whole book. It is no longer needed.

The other is "Mengxi Bi Tan" by Shen Kuo, which is so famous.

Li Quan didn't need it either.

Even the two volumes curator Li helped him find were more genuine than the old "Mengxi Bi Tan" collected by Mr. Guan.

There are many people who like to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.

But because they don't know how to distinguish the true from the false, they are deceived by some profiteers through old-fashioned, copying, imitation and other means. Then, after a flicker, he readily paid a large sum of money and bought them.

Once there was a wealthy businessman who liked to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, which became a typical tragedy.

He spent more than 100 million yuan on collecting this hobby, and built an enhanced version of the basement to store these treasures. One day, his company encountered a financial crisis and he needed money.

So I took those collected antiques and sold them.

I thought to myself, it should be appreciated to two or three hundred million.

Then there was a tragedy, there was really none of all the collections. It's all fake.

He bought this through a very regular antique company.

If you bought hundreds of millions of collections, but you really don't have any, then you must go to trouble.

In the end, when I ran over to find trouble with the collection company, I realized that the building was already empty.

It is conceivable that the heart of the rich man must have collapsed at that time.

Mr. Guan, Li Quan dare not say that all these antique calligraphy and paintings in his collection are fake. At least these two medical books are not genuine.

He put down the medical book, and took off the pestle with some anticipation to check it.

The medicine pestle is made of copper.

It is quite a weight to start with.

You can even see the patina left by the ages on the surface.

Of course, it may also be the patina obtained by antique dealers through old methods.

As far as Li Quan knows, most of the medicine pestles are made of stone, and some are made of wood.

Copper ones may exist, but are very rare.

"Young man, I bought this medicine pestle from a collector for more than 500,000 yuan. Look at the characters engraved on it, they are all regular scripts unique to the Song Dynasty."

Teacher Guan introduced with a proud smile.

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Li Quan nodded and carefully checked the above content.

"Sanao Decoction uses Ma Xing Grass, which is effective in clearing the lungs and relieving asthma. Canopy Ma Xing and Perilla Seeds, Poria Cocos and Chen Cao Mulberry White Bark; wind and cold constrict the lungs and make phlegm uncomfortable, so it is urgent to decoct and take it without hesitation..."

Li Quan couldn't help showing a surprised expression after reading the above two lines.

Isn't this... the recipe in Tangtouge?

Tangtouge was written by a man named Wang Ang in the Qing Dynasty. But Shen Kuo was from the Song Dynasty.

This is interesting.

It's just that the bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth.

Li Quan thought to himself, this medicine pestle looks quite old, especially the part of the handle, which has been worn so that it is already shining. Even if it's not Shen Kuo's stuff, it's still an antique, right?

After all, Teacher Guan spent more than half a million yuan to buy it.

However, the medicine pestle from the Qing Dynasty may not be worth the price.

Unless it was used by those famous doctors in the Qing Dynasty. Can sell a gimmick.

Teacher Guan observed Li Quan's expression from the side, and quickly introduced, "Young man, is the content on this medicine pestle wrong? Look at the bottom of this medicine pestle, and there is Shen Kuo's inscription."

Hearing this, Li Quan turned over and took a look.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

"Shen Cun Zhongyin" is written on the bottom, four small characters.

It was carved.

The font is also italic.

However, italics is also different.

Li Quan carefully looked at the font on the signature, including the medicinal knowledge engraved on the pestle. This kind of italic script is more like the modern italic script. It has neither the strength of willow style nor the strength of Yan style.

It is basically certain that this medicine pestle is fake.

"Teacher Guan, I don't know if I should say something!" Li Quan said tactfully.

"Tell me, tell me, from your expression, I must have seen that there is something wrong with this copper medicine pestle. You can express your doubts, I can bear it."

Teacher Guan is very concerned about this collection because its price is very high.

"Then I will express my brief opinion, because I am not an expert on antiques and cultural relics, and I don't know much. If there is something wrong, don't laugh."

Seeing that Teacher Guan wanted to ask for the truth, Li Quan had no reason to hesitate.

"As far as I know, Shen Kuo has the tough style of an iron-blooded man because he led troops to fight. So when he writes, he prefers to use facial expressions. But you can see that the inscription on it is not facial features. Take a step back, Maybe Shen Kuo didn't like Yan Ti at that time, so at least he should have written Liu Ti. Because the Song Dynasty particularly admired Liu Ti and Yan Ti.

People in that era almost only wrote these two fonts.

It is a pity that this inscription, including the pharmaceutical content above, uses neither Yan style nor Willow style. It looks a bit like modern hard script. "

When Li Quan said this, Teacher Guan panicked a little.

"I'll look up the writing style of Liu Ti and Yan Ti."

Teacher Guan hurriedly took the mobile phone, tremblingly searched the Internet for Liu Ti and Yan Ti.

As expected of senior intellectuals, people in their fifties can use their smartphones to search things online, and they are no slower than young people at all.

After finding out the face and body, Teacher Guan quickly compared it with the words on the pestle.

"Oh, the difference is really quite big."

He continued to look up another typeface, Liu Ti.

Checked out and compared again, disappointed again.

At the same time, his face also became a little pale.

"In the Song Dynasty, there was actually another kind of font, which was the fusion of Yan Ti and Liu Ti, called Yan Jin Liu Gu. But the font on it is also not that kind. Then..." When Li Quan said this, he found that Teacher Guan's body shook a bit, and his hands were trembling.

He hastily stopped.

"Mr. Guan, are you okay?"

Teacher Guan said just now that he could bear it, but for anyone who spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy a fake antique, it must be difficult for him to bear this kind of blow.

"I'm fine, you continue to talk. Young man, I can see that you really understand. I, I am a fool. I love Shen Kuo very much, but I rarely study Shen Kuo's calligraphy and medical hobbies. This antique, I must have been tricked by that friend."

Teacher Guan's voice trembled, his lips turned white and his face turned blue with anger.

"Don't talk about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Seeing Teacher Guan like this, Li Quan dared not say any more.

"No, I have to tell you. Only if you let me know where this antique is, will I have the confidence to settle accounts with that friend." Teacher Guan took Li Quan's hand and insisted that he tell all the doubts.

Teacher Guan's wife also found that something was wrong with her husband at this time, so she hurried over and helped her.

"Old Guan, if it's fake, it's fake, so don't be sad. Money, you earn it and spend it." While comforting Teacher Guan, she stroked Teacher Guan's back, comforting him.

"I understand!" Teacher Guan nodded, looking at Li Quan again. "Speak, boy, don't worry about me. I can hold on."

"In addition to the fact that the fonts do not match and are obviously fake, the content of pharmacy on it is also wrong. If I read it correctly, it is engraved with the content of Tangtouge. But Tangtouge was created by Wang Ang in the Qing Dynasty. There are several dynasties behind the Song Dynasty. There is also a problem with the copper itself. Although the science and technology of the Song Dynasty had reached the world's leading level at that time, it was far from being able to compare with the modern smelting technology.

The bronze wares of that era were mostly bronze.

And this medicine pestle, the polished part is as yellow as gold. With all due respect, even the Qing Dynasty could not reach this level of smelting, and only modern times have this technology.

Based on the multiple doubts mentioned above, this medicine pestle is probably made by those treacherous second-hand dealers through fraudulent means. "

As soon as Li Quan finished speaking, Teacher Guan's body was raised twice, and he fell forward.

Fortunately, Li Quan, who was standing beside him, was quick-eyed and helped him up.

In addition, Teacher Guan's wife has been supporting her husband.

That's why Teacher Guan didn't fall to the ground.

Teacher Guan said just now that he could hold on, but after finally learning the cruel truth, he couldn't hold on.

"Help Teacher Guan to sit down first, and I'll massage a few important acupuncture points for him to relieve." After Li Quan helped him sit down, he pressed several acupuncture points on Teacher Guan's head.

After a while, Teacher Guan's face looked much better.

People also returned to normal.

"Xiao Wen, I didn't expect that your boyfriend not only knows how to identify antiques, but also has excellent medical skills. You really have a good eye, and you have found such an excellent boyfriend!"

Aunt Lin praised Dr. Wen with a smile, and at the same time praised Li Quan.

"Ah... Aunt Lin, you misunderstood. He is not my boyfriend. His name is Li Quan, and he is a male colleague in our hospital." Dr. Wen blushed.

"Hehe, look down on people, shy, embarrassed, dare not admit it, Aunt Lin is an experienced person, so I understand." Aunt Lin said with a smile.

"He's really not my boyfriend. He already has a girlfriend, and he treats his girlfriend very well. He doesn't like other women." When Dr. Wen said this, he was somewhat lonely .

She is very beautiful and has many suitors.

But none of them are as good as Li Quan.

Miss Sophie, whom she had never met before, had only heard her name. I don't know how good a girl is to make a hero like Li Quan remain affectionate.

"It turns out that Dr. Li Quan already has a girlfriend. My aunt said something wrong. It's good for a man to be devoted to a woman. Only in this way, that woman will be willing to follow that man for the rest of her life."

After Aunt Lin finished speaking, she glanced at Teacher Guan with affectionate eyes.

It can be seen that the relationship between her and Teacher Guan should be particularly good.

"Xiao Li is indeed very good. I am also engaged in medical teaching and research, but compared with you, a young man, I feel ashamed! If you didn't help me find out today that this medicine pestle is fake, I'm afraid If you enter the coffin, you will be kept in the dark."

Teacher Guan stood up slowly, holding the copper medicine pestle with a complicated expression.

It is estimated that in a while, the psychological hurdle will not pass.

"Xiao Li, you can look at and choose whatever you want from the rest of the items. Sigh... I don't know how many of them are fake. I'm so confused!"

Guan Lao is a smart man. After discovering that the medicine pestle he regarded as a treasure was fake, he knew that there must be more than one fake antique.

Li Quan couldn't bear to hit this poor teacher Guan again.

Today's trip seems to be in vain.

He already had the intention of saying goodbye.

It's just that Teacher Guan told him to watch it, but it wasn't good, so he just left.

So he looked symbolically at the 'antiques' on the shelf.

"Hey, is this the ancient game of Go?" Li Quan saw a very interesting box on the bottom of the Bogu shelf.

I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, and it is divided into two large compartments.

It is full of chess pieces made of bluestone and white stone.

Each grain is the same size.

Modern Go is black and white, and the ancient manufacturing process is relatively backward. Some wizards came up with the idea of ​​making chess pieces after being polished with stones.

But this project is a bit big.

Time-consuming.

Only those who are full of food and have nothing to worry about can think of making such a pure and natural game of Go.

"I bought this from a store when I was wandering around an antique market. It wasn't worth much, but I thought it was interesting, so I bought it. The store said that this pair of stone chess pieces belonged to Shen Kuo, but I don't know if it's true or not. .”

Teacher Guan is already in a slump at the moment.

The copper medicine pestle bought at such an expensive price is all fake, and the price of this pair of stone Go chess is quite cheap, so can it be real?

Li Quan picked up one and looked at it, but felt that this set of chess should not be a modern thing.

As for whether it belonged to Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty, it is really hard to say.

Looking closely, he found a word engraved on the back of each chess piece.
