Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 24 Professor Han

After being cleaned, the pen container looks completely different from when it was on the stall.

When Chu Ning first found this bamboo pen holder at the street stall, the pen holder as a whole looked black, full of dust and dirt, and it looked like an old bamboo tube, let alone an antique, even if it was thrown on the side of the road. It is estimated that not many people will take a second look.

But now, the entire pen container has been cleaned by Chu Ning, and it has been completely new, as if it has been reborn. The old traces all over its body make it no longer look sloppy and dirty. On the contrary, it has a little more historical precipitation, which makes people proud Just looking at it, I feel very comfortable.

And holding the pen holder in your hand, the smooth touch of the pen holder itself is even more addictive.

Professor Han was a little surprised by the state of the pen holder.

If this pen holder appeared on the street stall in its current state, it would definitely not be missed by those veterans who have been hanging around the street stalls in Antique Street all year round.

No, it should be said that if this pen holder had been like this from the beginning, it would never have had the chance to appear on the street stall, but would have been sold by the stall owner at an antique shop at a high price, or by an acquainted antique lover .

"This pen holder, have you cleaned it?" Professor Han asked, holding the pen holder fondly.

"Yes." Chu Ning replied, "The pen container was covered with a lot of dust when I bought it, so I cleaned it myself."

Unexpectedly, it was Chu Ning's own handwriting.

Professor Han looked at the young Chu Ning in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "I thought you asked some master to clean it up, but I didn't expect you to do it yourself. You are young and have such a skill. Why didn't you apply for our college?"

It is not so easy to clean a dirty antique, and some even require some very special handling methods.

If you are not careful, not only can the antiques not be cleaned up, but they are likely to be damaged and suffer some irreparable damage.

Therefore, whether it is repairing antiques or cleaning them up, it is a very skill-testing task. Those who are not capable will not dare to take on such a job without authorization.

Even if someone is willing to pick it up, it depends on whether the owner of the antique will trust the person who sells it.

Those whose craftsmanship can be trusted by everyone often have years of experience, and are usually not too young.

Few young people like Chu Ning are willing to learn such a boring skill.

Chu Ning smiled and said: "Because there are elders in my family who like antiques, I have been exposed to them since I was a child, and I have learned something more or less. As for majors...no matter what major I study, it will not affect my interest in antiques."

Professor Han nodded in agreement, but somewhat regretted: "It's rare that you have such a talent, but you are distracted by other majors. It's a waste of money."

Such a topic involved family privacy, and Chu Ning couldn't answer it, so she had to smile.

Professor Han didn't continue talking, and focused on the pen holder again: "This pen holder should not be too old, it is indeed an ancient relic. And the bamboo picture depicted on this pen holder is also very personal. Where have I seen..."

Professor Han fell into deep thought, trying to recall in his mind.

Chu Ning suddenly realized what she heard, and she admired it from the bottom of her heart.

She only deduced the origin of the pen holder because of the ability she suddenly got from the Zigang card, the inscription on the bottom of the pen holder, and the age of the bamboo holder itself.And the style of the bamboo pattern on the pen container was such an obvious clue, but she still ignored it.

Sure enough, a professor is a professor, and a young man like her can't compare to her.

"I remembered!" Professor Han suddenly slapped the table and said excitedly, "Chu Ning, wait a while."

Before the words were finished, Professor Han hastily turned on the computer on the table, and after some operations on the computer, he quickly found a photo.

With joy on his face, he turned the computer screen to face Chu Ning, and said excitedly: "Look, isn't the style of this painting very similar to the bamboo picture on the pen holder?"

Chu Ning: "..."

The painting that Professor Han showed Chu Ning was a picture of bamboo and stone.

Bamboo painting itself is not complicated, just simple bamboo and stones.However, the person who drew this painting obviously has superb painting skills. He painted the simple bamboo and stone very artistically. , Feel the charm of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

This painting of bamboo and stone is obviously a model of Chinese literati painting in which literati use bamboo and stone to entrust their spiritual feelings!
Not to mention that this picture of bamboo and stone is definitely written by a master. Compared with the simple bamboo branch on the pen holder, this picture is like a sky and a ground, there is no comparison at all!

I don't know how Professor Han's piercing eyes looked, but he was able to associate the simple bamboo branch on the pen holder with this profound picture of bamboo and stone in such a short period of time.

Perhaps the styles of the two paintings are indeed very similar, but she is not proficient in calligraphy and painting, so she can't tell it at all!
Facing Professor Han's question, Chu Ning really couldn't answer a single word.

Professor Han didn't mind Chu Ning's silence, but continued excitedly: "This painting of bamboo and stone in Xiaoxiang is one of the famous works handed down by Su Shi, and it is also a masterpiece. Although the bamboo painting on the pen holder is very simple, the strokes are also beautiful. It's still a little naive, but from the style point of view, these two pictures are clearly from the same source, and it is very likely that they were made by the same person!"

In other words, Professor Han believes that the bamboo picture on the pen holder should be written by Su Shi himself.

Moreover, it was Su Shi's work when he was young and his personal style was not yet fixed.

Since even the engraved drawings were written by Su Shi himself, is there any need to ask who made this pen holder?

Chu Ning had already guessed that the pen container was related to Su Shi, and was not surprised by Professor Han's conclusion.On the contrary, when Professor Han thought that the pen holder might have been made by Su Shi himself, he was so excited that he kept looking at it over and over with the pen holder.

It is really that Su Shi's status is too high and famous, and of course things from him will not be simple.Su Shi has many calligraphy and paintings that have been handed down, all of which have been collected in major national museums.Those that can be privately collected are also difficult for outsiders to see.

The value of the pen holder itself may not be too high, but it has extraordinary significance.

This meaning alone is a priceless treasure in the hearts of many people.

Looking at it, Professor Han quickly saw the lettering on the inside of the pen holder, He Zhong.

Originally, these two words were filled with all kinds of dirt, but after they were cleaned up by Chu Ning, although these two words are still not very conspicuous, as long as they are careful, they can be found.
