Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 58

Chu Ning glanced at Lu Jiafan speechlessly.

She only knew that Senior Sister Lu had a carefree personality before, but now it seems that it is not as simple as being careless. The straight line in Senior Sister Lu's mind is almost comparable to that of the stubborn Lieutenant Jin!
Seeing that Chu Ning was not moving, Lu Jiafan thought she was inexperienced and did not dare to act recklessly, so he simply stretched out his hand to Chu Ning: "Give me your black stone, and I will wash it for you."

Chu Ning couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, and she simply took out the black stone from her bag and gave it to her, not worried at all whether Lu Jiafan would wash the things to pieces.

Don't look at Lu Jiafan who looked like a silly big sister before, but when it comes to her major, she is more serious than anyone else.

Holding the black stone in his hand, Lu Jiafan's expression changed instantly.

With a serious face, she took a pair of thick plastic gloves from Professor Han's desk and put them on, before carefully putting the black stone she held in both hands into the paint remover mixed with pure water.

In contrast, Chu Ning, the owner of the black stone, seemed calmer.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Lu Jiafan carefully washed the black stone several times, very gently, and changed the water twice in the middle, and finally washed the black stone clean, revealing its original true colors.

In fact, the paint remover prepared by Professor Han is very effective, but the paint layer on the surface of the black stone is too thick, and it is very old, so it is not easy to remove the paint, so the water is changed halfway and re-deployed for cleaning.

However, Lu Jiafan's hard work was not in vain.

Looking at the cleaned thing in his hand, Lu Jiafan couldn't help but wonder: "It turned out to be an inkstone... I didn't see it at all before! Chu Chu, your ten yuan is really worth it!"

Regardless of whether the inkstone is an antique or a modern handicraft, it is impossible to buy it for just ten yuan.

What's more, based on the painstakingly camouflaged paint layer on the surface of the inkstone, it can't be just an ordinary modern handicraft!

That's right, what Lu Jiafan was holding in his hand was no longer a dark, dirty stone, but a beautiful turquoise inkstone!
In fact, during the process of cleaning the paint on the surface of the inkstone, Chu Ning and Lu Jiafan had already seen the shape of the inkstone.

However, after the inkstone was thoroughly cleaned, the two of them truly felt how beautiful the inkstone was.

The material of the inkstone itself looks very smooth and delicate, and it feels extremely smooth in the hand.

The heart of the inkstone is very bright, divided into upper and lower layers.

There are raised stones in the middle of the lower layer, which divides it into two parts. The upper layer is slightly higher, and there is a pine tree engraved next to it. With the faint emerald green of the inkstone itself, it fills the whole inkstone with a noble and pure temperament.

Although the inkstone is layered, the shape of each part is carved and modified on a natural basis, which is natural and perfect.

Even modern people like Chu Ning and Lu Jiafan, who basically don't use the Four Treasures of the Study, can clearly feel the charming charm exuding from this inkstone.

It's a pity that this inkstone was somewhat damaged due to poor preservation.

However, if you can find a master-level repair expert to repair it, I believe it will be restored to the most perfect state!
Lu Jiafan reluctantly returned the inkstone to Chu Ning.

"Chu Chu, do you see what material this inkstone is made of?" After the shock, Lu Jiafan asked hesitantly.

She had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't dare to be sure, let alone open her mouth casually.

Chu Ning gently rubbed the inkstone in her hand, and smiled faintly: "If I guessed correctly, this should be the Duan inkstone!"

Lu Jiafan's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Chu Ning in shock.

In fact, she also thought it looked like Duanyan, but she couldn't believe it, so she didn't say it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning, an amateur antique lover, would have such confidence that she would say the name she wanted to say but didn't dare to say without hesitation!

That's Duanyan!

Duan inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in my country, which is as famous as Tao inkstone, She inkstone and Chengni inkstone.

It was produced in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was very rare in ancient times. In modern times, it has become more and more rare because of the lack of resources.

Moreover, the fine Duan inkstone is also very different from other Duan inkstone works.

Often, only Duan inkstones that are not suitable for making inkstones will be used for other purposes.

If the inkstone in Chu Ning's hand is really a Duan inkstone, judging from its color and material, it is clearly the rarer green Duan inkstone among Duan inkstones!

Even if it was rumored that Yu Yongjiao had received a Duanyan stone tea tray, the value would definitely not be comparable to that of the Duaninkstone in Chu Ning's hand!
What's more, they didn't even know whether the inkstone tea tray in Yu Yongjiao's hand was real or not!

Although the word "Duanyan" was said by Chu Ning, an amateur antique lover, Lu Jiafan suddenly felt an unspeakable trust in Chu Ning's confident eyes as if he had insight into the world.

This trust came from nowhere, but it seemed to have taken root in Lu Jiafan's heart, and it was hard to shake.

If the classmates who went with them knew that the dirty stones covered with animal feces that Chu Ning dug out from the cowshed back then would turn into the famous Duanyan inkstone, their expressions would be very beautiful!

Lu Jiafan was so happy that his mouth was crooked, he opened his mouth, and in the end he just said to Chu Ning, "I also think this should be a Duan inkstone. However, the matter is very important, why don't we ask the professor to palm his eyes after he comes back?"

The implication was that Lu Jiafan was obviously reminding Chu Ning not to reveal the matter until she was sure of the true origin of the inkstone.

After all, no matter whether the inkstone is Duanyan or not, as long as the news is released, it will mean a lot of trouble for Chu Ning.

"I see, Sister Fan." Chu Ning nodded with a smile.

Even if Lu Jiafan didn't say anything, she still knew what to do.

Besides, even if she was sure that it was a Duan inkstone, she would not be able to tell which dynasty the Duan inkstone was from.

Seeing that Chu Ning had a plan in mind, Lu Jiafan was also relieved, and admired the inkstone with Chu Ning with great interest.

Suddenly, Lu Jiafan seemed to have thought of something, blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "By the way, you bought an inkstone that might be a Duanyan stone for ten yuan this time. How much did you pay her?"

Chu Ning laughed and shook her head.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiafan still remembered this!
It can make a careless person like Lu Jiafan always think about gloating, it can be seen that Yu Yongjiao's normal life is really not very likable.
