Chapter 567 The Secret of Silk Calligraphy
After each of them peeled off the tea eggs, they began to taste them slowly. Without exception, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces.
The taste that is somewhat similar to Longyuan Shengxue Tea Soup, but is different, slowly spreads through the mouths and hearts of several people.
Although this taste is not as deep as Longyuan Shengxue Tea Soup, the unique thing about tea soup is that it has many flavors that blend together and is extremely wonderful.
After Mr. Zheng ate it, his face showed a sigh, "This tea egg has reached the pinnacle of Xiaoyi's level."
"Yes, the master not only has a very unique taste, but also is the only one in the world. Although its value cannot reach the level of Longyuan's snow tea soup, it will not be too different." Gao Cunzhi echoed, and he didn't expect that after drinking the Tea Dragon Garden's snow tea soup, he could still taste something comparable to the tea soup.
Mr. Zheng smiled slowly, "So, I should probably make one of the tea eggs into specimens and store them in the collection room."
"Haha, the master's idea is feasible. Some people may be disdainful to see tea eggs, but once they know the origin of the tea eggs, they will definitely be in awe." At this time, Gao Cunzhi couldn't help laughing and then said jokingly.
"That's not really what some experts in Wanwan say. We even offer a tea egg as a treasure." Old Zheng shook his head and said helplessly.
Li Boren couldn't help but smile, "Old Zheng, this Longyuan is better than snow tea eggs, and those so-called experts can't afford it."
"Just relying on the preciousness of Longyuan Shengxue tea leaves, it means the value of this tea egg. Okay. Don't continue to worry about this topic. Tea eggs are the most important, and today they have received the most significant proof. By the way, Xiaoyi, how is your Fei beef cooked?" Old Zheng smiled, then thought of the Fei beef and couldn't help asking Chen Yi.
Chen Yi suddenly smiled, "Master, don't worry, you will definitely let you taste it."
"Then let's wait and see. Since Xiaoyi and Xiaoting are all here with you, your parents should be here too." Mr. Zheng nodded, not caring too much. The rare thing about this tea egg is that it has Longyuan Shengxue tea, and the beef made from the recipe on the bamboo slips may taste very ordinary.
"Well, master. My parents are here too. I am going to discuss engagement with Yu Jun's family. I will visit you again in a few days." Chen Yi responded and said.
Old Zheng smiled and waved his hand, "Just come over and talk, don't bring anything."
"Master, I also have to listen to my parents. If they want to take care of me, I can't make the decision." Chen Yi spread his hands, like a hand-off manager.
"You kid..." Seeing Chen Yi's appearance, Old Zheng smiled helplessly.
Gao Cunzhi said in this moment, "Master, don't you know. After Xiaoyi returned home, Miss Shen took a bus to Fengyang to find Xiaoyi alone, and asked me about the specific location of Xiaoyi's house."
"Oh, there is also such a thing. You two are really husband and wife. They are in love with each other. Cunzhi, tomorrow you will follow Xiaoyi's family to Shen Hongzhi's home. The task of this matchmaker will be handed over to you." Hearing Gao Cunzhi's words, Mr. Zheng was a little surprised, pointed at Chen Yi, and smiled with relief.
"Master, it is my honor to witness Xiaoyi and Miss Shen get married." Gao Cunzhi nodded and said with a smile.
Old Zheng pointed to the two pots next to him and said to Aunt Lan on the side: "Xiaolan, take these two pots in. I have accepted Xiaoyi's wish."
After cleaning the table, Chen Yi sat at the tea table and started making tea for several people.
"Okay, since you have come here, let's talk about my research these days. Let's talk about bamboo slips first. Through these days' research, the material of the bamboo slips and the handwriting on them are fully in line with the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms period. The calligraphy fonts are unique and have not been passed down in later generations, but with these, this bamboo slip can be called precious."
Old Zheng smiled and clapped his hands, and began to talk about his research results on Chen Yi's antiques these days.
"Although this is the case, this bamboo slip still needs to be verified by some scientific instruments and studied with several other antique cultural relics masters before it can be truly confirmed. I alone cannot make the decision on this precious antique."
"This is Zhang Fei's bamboo slip. The other piece of Huangting Jing on silk is even more strange than this bamboo slip. On it, Xiao Yi realized something very extraordinary. As a result, his small regular script became almost exactly the same as Wang Xizhi, which is really amazing.
Speaking of this, Old Zheng changed his tone and showed a solemn look on his face. "However, although this silk calligraphy seems to have no secret on the surface, after my research and the use of scientific instruments to detect ink marks, some strange ingredients were found in the ink marks."
As he said that, Mr. Zheng took out some paper from under the table and handed it to Gao Cunzhi and others. On the paper, he wrote various test reports, some of which were incomprehensible chemical equations.
Li Boren, Uncle Liu and Chen Yi were all dizzy when they looked at the test report, as if they were reading a heavenly book.
"Master, I know some of the ingredients on this one. They are things that must be used in ink, but I don't know anything about other ingredients. Could it be that this is also detected from the ink marks of calligraphy, what do these ingredients represent?" Gao Cunzhi looked for a while, and then asked Mr. Zheng with some confusion.
Mr. Zheng smiled and took the report, "These ingredients you can't understand are the secrets of this calligraphy and the key to unlocking the secret."
"Master, you mean that there is really a secret in this calligraphy." Gao Cunzhi couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard Mr. Zheng's words.
This calligraphy can be said to be extremely strange, making everyone full of doubts. In their opinion, it is very ordinary, but in Chen Yi's eyes, it is full of aura, but they can't find the secrets in this calligraphy.
Mr. Zheng nodded and sighed: "There is indeed a secret in this calligraphy, and it may be a huge secret, but we have not found this secret before."
"We all know that the ink used in calligraphy and painting works is very particular. Once printed on paper or silk, it will not fade at all when it sees water. This is also the reason why calligraphy and painting works can be brushed and mounted with clean water at will without any worries."
"Similarly, after writing incorrectly, it cannot be modified, either rewriting, crossing it aside, or writing it directly without modifying it, and continuing to write. Some people believe that the words we call the word "pinfake" in modern times are the words written in ancient times. The first person who wrote the word "pinfake" can be said to be written in another word, but later generations followed suit, and it became word "pinfake". These words "pinfake" exist in large quantities in ancient books, which is also one of the reasons why ancient Chinese books are difficult to read."
"Modern things are different. Pens are basically used as writing tools. After the pen is written incorrectly, some special chemical agents can be removed. However, modern times still have not developed things that can remove the ink marks of brushes. The ink and ink passed down from ancient times are made of smoke. According to chemical composition, smoke is carbon, but after reading through all chemical books, you will not find a solvent that can dissolve carbon."
Speaking of this, Old Zheng smiled and shook the report in his hand, "And the unknown ingredients that Cunzhi just mentioned can be dissolved."
"Master, you mean that the text on the surface of this calligraphy can be dissolved, and the true face of the calligraphy is hidden below. However, if the ink traces can be dissolved, the dissolved ingredients hidden on it will have penetrated into the text below in the past two thousand years. If it dissolves, will even the original calligraphy hidden below be dissolved?" Hearing Mr. Zheng's words, Gao Cunzhi quickly realized the key point and said in surprise. However, after the surprise, he was a little worried.
Chen Yi also thought of this instantly and looked at Mr. Zheng with Li Boren and others in shock. Some of the ink ingredients could be dissolved, which was simply an unimaginable thing, and it also showed that there was really a secret in this calligraphy.
What is the original calligraphy hidden below? Several people are a little unimaginable. If the hidden thing in this silk calligraphy is really the original calligraphy of Wang Xizhi's Huangting Jing, what kind of scene would be? It can be said that it would be earth-shaking. The whole of China and even the whole world would be shocked by this calligraphy.
Hearing Gao Cunzhi's words, Mr. Zheng smiled and nodded, "On the surface, this calligraphy cannot be seen covered with other handwritings, and from the back, it is the same. It is indeed as Cunzhi said, after one or two thousand years, two different ink marks have been integrated into one piece, regardless of each other. Moreover, the two ink marks are very similar, making people unable to see any doubt at all. If they dissolve, will the ink marks used to hide below? Xiao Yi, what do you think?"
Chen Yi thought for a while, then said, "Master, I think Senior Brother Gao's worries do not exist. You just said that the ink used in calligraphy and painting cannot dissolve all chemical solvents today. So, how can it dissolve the hidden handwriting?"
