A gift, which didn't cost much, made Zhou Wentao earn enough face. So, my heart was full of gratitude to Yang Fan. However, although the two have not been friends for a long time, they hit it off at first sight, and the relationship is also a bit iron, and they don't thank each other like others, and it's not good to be too polite.

Next, it's Qi Nianci. She seemed to be very worried, thinking that Zhou Wentao and the others, like her, did not understand antiques, and in any case, she should not be the worst one, right? But in the current situation, she is really hanging! Except for the boss, the word that is not an antique, everyone else's gifts are quite good.

At this time, she can only bite the bullet.

I saw her holding a box, and under the expectant eyes of everyone, she opened it by herself, and then offered it and said an auspicious word.

"I wish grandpa a long life and a smile always!"

"Good, good, good!" Old Man Qi didn't even look at the gift, and even said three good words. The others were speechless for a moment, this eccentricity is too obvious, right?

However, the knowledgeable people present were slightly stunned when they saw the things inside.

It is an inkstone, along with pen, ink and paper, which is the four treasures of the traditional Chinese study and is an essential tool for Chinese calligraphy.

The inkstone is not only a study utensil, but also a collection of treasures by literati of all ages because of its sturdy nature, which has been passed down through the ages. The materials of the inkstone are rich and diverse, in addition to the famous stones such as the end stone, the stone, the Taohe stone, the Chengni stone, the jade inkstone, the jade miscellaneous stone inkstone, the tile inkstone, the porcelain inkstone, etc., a total of dozens of kinds.

It seems that Qi Nianci also found out what the old man liked in the study, so he did everything possible to get it back.

It's a pity that there is a problem with this inkstone. However, everyone chose to laugh it off, especially the elderly. Little girl! I don't know antiques, and it's normal to be deceived. In fact, authenticity is not important to them, what matters is the heart of their children and grandchildren.

"Haha! yes, Xiaoci has a heart. Old Man Qi said with a smile.

It was also those old guys whose expressions were well concealed, Zhou Wentao didn't notice much, and secretly asked Yang Fan, who he trusted better: "Old Yang, what is the origin of my cousin's treasure?"

Yang Fan came back to his senses, because he had practiced calligraphy before, so he knew about the inkstone or the hall.

It evolved from the grinders of primitive societies. In the early days, the original form of inkstone was to use a small grinding stone to press ink pellets on a stone tool that was smoothed on one side and grind it into ink. In the Han Dynasty, there was a carving on the inkstone, with a stone cover and a foot under it. During these periods, inkstones were not aesthetically pleasing.

The kei-shaped inkstone is a common inkstone style in the Tang Dynasty, which is similar to a dustpan, with one end of the inkstone falling to the ground and one end supported by a foot. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the shape of the inkstone has been diversified in the use of development, and the use of inkstone is also extremely extensive, among which the Duan inkstone of GD Zhaoqing, the Yan of Ah She. County, the Tao River inkstone of GS Tao Zhou, and the Chengni inkstone of SX Jiang County are the most prominent, called "four famous inkstones".

After a long history, the inkstone has long ceased to be a simple stationery, but has become a collection of carving, painting in one of the exquisite handicrafts, become the object of literati and ink collectors.

As a fashionable trend, the inkstone condenses various information on the culture, economy and even aesthetic consciousness of various dynasties in China with the evolution of social history.

He didn't answer immediately, but looked at Old Man Qi and asked, "Old Qi, can I take a look at this inkstone?"

Qi Lao was a little hesitant, although he didn't know this kid's ability very well, but he could find that treasure, which showed his carefulness. If he finds out that this is fake, and explains it on the spot, wouldn't it be very shameful to lose face for his granddaughter?

However, he also wanted to test Yang Fan's true talent, so he moved the inkstone over: "Look at it well, don't be busy talking." ”

Finally, he gave him a wink, suggesting that even if he saw that it was a fake, he should not say it.

Yang Fan didn't think much about it, and after reading it carefully, he figured out all the details of this inkstone, and he himself was quite moved, and he wanted to say it or not.

At this time, Zhou Wentao couldn't help but ask again: "How is it? What is the origin of this thing?"

Suddenly, he found that Qi Nianci also wanted to hear the evaluation, and he had already made a secret decision.

Qi Nianci really wanted to know, after all, everyone's gift grandfather had a commentary before, but she was the only one who was vague and flickered in the past, which was a little wrong.

"It's not easy. Yang Fan replied simply.

Everyone was very dissatisfied with this answer, and Zhou Wentao rolled his eyes: "Why is it not a simple method?"

Yang Fan glanced at him: "You also know that I have a strong feel, especially sensitive to quality." This inkstone is obviously made of cement, but the weight difference between it and cement is a bit big. If I'm not mistaken, cement is just the outer layer. ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone's faces were on one side, and Old Man Qi and others were even more disliked, thinking that this young man loved to show off and deliberately exposed his shortcomings, especially what Qi Lao had hinted at.

And Qi Nianci was pale, and instantly understood why his grandfather's expression just now, although it was only a flash, was still captured by her. Thinking that I actually took a fake gift as a gift, I blamed myself very much, if I hadn't insisted, I could have entrusted someone else to find one, and such a thing would not have happened.

Zhou Wentao and others secretly said: Oops!

But when they heard the back, everyone was stunned again. Old Man Qi and several old people all reached over, wanting to check it carefully. It's a shame to see in front of a young man.

"Huh, it's a little wrong!" said an old man in a Tang costume in surprise.

After the others observed carefully, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they had a full understanding of Yang Fan's carefulness, and thought to themselves: He is a good seedling.

"Could it be that there is something hidden in it?" Zhou Wentao asked curiously.

Since it was sealed with cement, the treasure inside would definitely not be ordinary, and his Tianhuangshi birthday carving is a good example.

"It should be, but you have to crack that layer of cement to find out. Yang Fan nodded.

This time, everyone's interest came. Especially the old man Qi, they are even more itchy. Qi Nianci breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what was inside, but it was better than sending a piece of cement, okay?

"Lao Qi, move the tools out, and I will open this layer of cement with my own hands. "He has the best way to deal with these tasks.

A few old men immediately drove the others away, and before they could get in the way, a group of leaders tossed up. A good birthday party, made like this, everyone else is speechless.

"Thank you!" Qi Nianci also had a good impression of Yang Fan.

Yang Fan lost his mind slightly, and then hurriedly said politely: "Miss Qi is too polite." Just don't blame me for being too talkative. ”

There is something wrong with the computer in front, I'm sorry, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow three more to make up, I hope you continue to support! This book should be signed tomorrow, it will definitely not give up halfway, give you a dose of reassuring medicine!
