Chapter 615: Kunshan Stone

The rockery Lin Jiawen transported was much smaller than Xiao Peng imagined, only about three meters high and two meters wide, which made Xiao Peng very disappointed. After all, in Xiao Peng's impression, the taller and bigger the rockery is, the better it looks, and the color is not as white as in the photo, a little yellowish.
However, what you say is the water poured out. The smaller ones are smaller. Xiao Peng asked Lin Jiawen to go to the Shanghai market to find Feng Jianting to pick up silver cod, and he called Yang Meng to get busy on the island: he was in his own The small courtyard attracted mountain spring water, and a large pool was dug beside the pavilion in the courtyard, which kept freshwater fishes such as koi, and in the middle of the pool was a rockery sent by Lin Jiawen. Not to mention, after doing this, there is really a touch of elegance in the small courtyard.
Drinking tea and playing chess in the poolside pavilion, and watching the swimming fish in the pool by the way, really makes people feel good.
For this reason, Xiao Peng was very proud, and specially called his grandfather, father, academician Liu and others to come over and taste tea. Isn't it all about Xiao Peng's nouveau riche? Come and see, how elegant is your life now?
But he didn't want to think, how many people use natural ebony to make a sea of ​​tea? The face of the nouveau riche became more intense.
It was Academician Liu who stared at the rockery in the pool. Finally, taking advantage of Xiao Peng's attention, he took off his shoes and ran into the pool to stare at the rockery. Xiao Peng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this scene. He jokingly said: "Academician Liu, did you run into my sink to wash your feet? I am all high-priced koi, and I can kill you if your feet are so stinky!"
Xiao Peng was originally joking, but Academician Liu turned his head abruptly, his eyes became blood red, staring at Xiao Peng, pointing to Xiao Peng and couldn't say a word for a long time, and he was obviously angry.
Seeing Academician Liu's behavior, Xiao Peng was also very frightened: "Academician Liu, are you okay? Don't be mad, why did I provoke you?"
Academician Liu took a few deep breaths, and pointed to Xiao Peng and said, "You upstart, a prodigal..." Academician Liu slapped his head and covered his face to criticize Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng was at a loss, and I did. What's wrong? But listening to the literati swearing was speechless, just a few words over and over again, there were no dirty words, but the action points were very good, a look of hatred, strange and funny. . . . . .
After thinking about it, is it because of the rockery? Xiao Peng pointed to the rockery and said, "Academician Liu, are you so angry at me because of such a quartz stone? Academician Liu, you have to explain to me. I kindly invited you to come for tea, but you are like this. For me, don’t forget that I’m your boss. You don’t tell me why you came today. Be careful that I fire you."
"Uh." Academician Liu reacted, his face blushed, but then he came back to his senses: "What is quartz stone? You are a violent creature! A violent creature!"
"This is not a quartz stone?" Xiao Peng said, pointing to the white rockery, "I am not stupid because I read little. Academician Liu, don't lie to me. This is not a quartz stone. I will give you my head as a ball."
Quartzite is a very common mineral. Quartz can be found in almost all rocks. Microcrystalline quartz is called chalcedony, agate, jasper, and crystal. So Xiao Peng said that It is absolutely true that it is quartz stone.
Academician Liu calmed down his emotions: "Boss Xiao, is this ordinary quartz stone?"
Xiao Peng's expression was peaceful: "What is it not quartz? It is not crystal, agate, or chalcedony."
Academician Liu sighed: "Do you know that Lu You, a great poet of the Song Dynasty? He once wrote a Qilu poem like this: "Yanshan calamus Kunshan stone, Chen Shou used it to comfort the quiet. The roots are dense and nine knots thin, and the punch is abrupt. "Value", and Yuan Dynasty poet Zhang Yu also wrote, "Kunqiu Chibi has amazing eyes, and there is no wormwood in the eyes. The lone roots stand on the snow and the little flowers grow clouds and run the pen bed." This is the stone. There are no less than ten or twenty ancient poems describing this kind of stone!"
Xiao Peng's answer almost made Academician Liu vomit blood: "What kind of broken poem, it's also the great poet Lu You, it doesn't rhyme at all. Old Liu, just tell me what it is."
Academician Liu resisted the urge to scold the street and explained to Xiao Peng: "This is called Kunshi! Because it is produced in Yufeng Mountain, Kunshan City, it is also called Kunshan Stone. It is one of the four famous stones in ancient China. It is also closely related to Taihu Stone and Yuhua Stone. Together they are known as the Three Famous Stones of Jiangsu, and they are also known as the Three Treasures of Kunshan along with Qionghua and Double Lotus. This is indeed a good thing! Since the Western Han Dynasty, Kunshi has been loved by literati and scholars, and they have earned it. Stone is proud, and even hesitate to ask for it with a lot of money. After getting the stone, he will even give it a name, recite poems and make fus, and he won’t be praised.
Xiao Peng was also a little shocked when he heard this, but didn't expect this rockery to be a good thing? "Isn't it just a stone? You can mine it again?"
"Mining?" Academician Liu laughed: "Do you really think this is an ordinary stone? This kind of stone is produced in Yufeng Mountain, and Yufeng Mountain is only 82 meters high and has a radius of less than three Huali. After thousands of years of continuous mining, There are almost no stone billets now. And Kunshi is rare, small in existence, and can’t be mined anymore. Did you know? Kunshi is generally only more than a foot in size, but large ones are extremely rare! To this day, let alone high It is more than one foot of Kunshi, even the Kunshi of less than 20 centimeters is hard to find! How tall are you? More than two meters! Do you know what this concept is?"
Xiao Peng shook his head, what concept? how could I know?
Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng with an expression of hating iron but not steel: "There are two treasures of the town hall in Kunshan City, Kunshan City. They are all from the Ming Dynasty. They are recorded in the "Old Ming Zhi". With a history of more than 100 years, the two treasures of the town hall are called "Glazed Blue Clouds", one meter high, 0.85 meters wide, 0.80 meters thick, and weighing about 1.5 tons, while the other is called "Autumn Water Horizontal Waves", one high. It is six meters wide, 0.8 meters wide, 0.6 meters thick, and weighs about one ton! And these two pieces of Kunshi have always been considered the only remaining and the largest ancient Kunshi! As a result, you are not good, the whole one is two meters high Come to the big Kunshi, look at your Kunshi. Due to its age, the crystal quality of the Kunshi is a bit yellowish. This is the characteristic of the ancient Kunshi. Looking at it, it is crystal clear and full of pores. You let me What are you talking about? You put such a big baby in the middle of the pool as a rockery! Isn't it a violent thing?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a while: "No, Academician Liu, if it really is what you said, wouldn't this Kunshi have a history of more than two thousand years? And the big Kunshi is extremely rare, it must be history There will be a record on it. Why is this large piece of Kunshi so big that no one knows it?"
"Who said that?" Academician Liu widened his eyes and said, "There is a record in the book "The Secret Collection of the Qing Dynasty". He saw a piece of Kunshi during the Jiaqing period. It was tall and seven or eight feet square, and the lower half was' "Walnut stone", the upper part is "chicken bone slices". Oh, there are more than ten varieties of Kunshi, "chicken bone slices" refer to the criss-crossing of stone slices as thin as chicken bones, giving people toughness and strength. It feels that it is also the most precious variety in Kunshi, and the surface of'Walnut Stone' is full of wrinkles, blocks and abrupt, crystal clear and lovely. Look, this is the Kunshi you put here now, isn't that?"
Xiao Peng saw that what Academician Liu said was really reasonable. This stone really looks like that. Is it really the stone recorded in the "Qing Secret Store"? Xiao Peng asked, "The whereabouts of that stone is not recorded in "The Qing Secret Store"?"
Academician Liu said: "It is recorded, saying that it was bought by a surname of Songjiang for 80,000 yuan. Then the whereabouts are unknown."
When Xiao Peng heard this, he suddenly realized, Songjiang? Isn’t that the Magic Capital Songjiang District? It’s really not far from Jiashan. Lin Jiawen said that his ancestors were also a big family, otherwise he would not be able to marry Miss Fang. Later, when liberation, his father ran to the treasure island with such a stone. He did not expect that after his father died, No one knows the treasure.
Perhaps Lin Jiawen's father didn't know that this stone was so precious, he was just thinking of his hometown. After all, if he really knew that this stone was so precious, would he put it in the courtyard as a rockery? Thinking about it this way, maybe the ancestors of the Lin family put it there as a rockery after the stone was bought, and didn't care at all. Rich and willful.
This precious Kunshi has been kept for three hundred years. Perhaps fortunately, if people had known his preciousness long ago, perhaps the stone would have disappeared long ago, and it would not have been spread today.
Fortunately, they didn't care about this stone, so Xiao Peng made a big deal, and someone even gave it to himself as a gift! Sure enough, good people are rewarded, and Xiao Peng began to admire himself.
Looking at Xiao Peng without speaking, his face changed colorfully, Academician Liu couldn't help saying: "Boss Xiao, do you know how precious this stone is now? Do you still put it here in the wind and the sun? Say it yourself Are you violent?"
After hearing what Academician Liu said, Xiao Peng came back to his senses: "Academician Liu, according to your opinion, how should I preserve this piece of Kunshi is the most appropriate?"
After hearing this, Academician Liu said: "At least, like the Kunshi Pavilion in Kunshan City, the whole Kunshi must be protected with a glass cover."
"Academician Liu, can this Kunshi be damaged by blisters?" Xiao Peng asked.
"Eh?" Academician Liu was taken aback, but still answered honestly: "No..."
"Can it be damaged by the rain?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
"No..." Academician Liu replied.
"Can it be damaged by the sun?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
"Uh...not even..." Academician Liu continued.
"Then why should I make a glass cover to cover it?" Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.
Academician Liu was asked by Xiao Peng: "This... So expensive baby you just put it in the open air, do you think it is suitable?"
"What's wrong? It has been in this way for hundreds of years, why not?" Xiao Peng said.
"But..." Academician Liu thought for a while: "But it's really expensive and valuable!"
Xiao Peng showed triumphant expression and pointed to the pavilion: "Academician Liu, you are also a literati. In my elegant courtyard, are you embarrassed to open your mouth and withdraw money in advance? Look there, the whole piece of golden nan and ebony carved I just put the tea sea in the small pavilion, and I don’t care about the valuable things. Do you think I am a person who values ​​money?"
It was really the first time for Academician Liu to enter Xiaopeng's courtyard. Hearing Xiao Peng's words, he hurried to the small pavilion and took a look. Sure enough, the whole piece of tea carved with golden nan ebony wood was placed there.
Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng in silence for a long while, and said: "You upstart..."
Huh? Obviously you are always talking about money, OK?
