Chapter 237: Stubborn Stone
Back at the gate of the academy, there was no more trouble, Chen Jianchen returned to being a well-mannered scholar, and Ying Ning was the delicate and quiet little scholar. As in the past, they entered the academy one after the other, and they looked very polite and respectful.
Entering the school hall and closing the door, Ying Ning took out the wooden box from the book and put it back in front of Chen Jianchen. Nu Yinu mouthed: "What the real person gave to the son is better than the son himself." β
"Well, open it in the dead of night tonight and see what's inside. β
When he went outside, Wang Fuyi pulled him back: "Liuxian, I've been looking for you for a long time, where did you come back?"
Chen Jianchen asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hurry up, go to the foolish brother's humble house to discuss some things. β
In Wang Fu's schoolhouse, Xi Fangping and Xiao Hanfeng were there, sitting there, waiting for Chen Jianchen. After asking, I realized that they were deliberating on how to do it.
Counting the time, if nothing else, the approval of the imperial court will be transmitted to Jiangzhou in the near future. At that time, Chen Jianchen will naturally go north and study in Guozijian.
Therefore, Wang Fu and others together wanted to hold a beautiful banquet for Chen Jianchen.
Chen Jianchen said dumbly: "Brother Futai, why bother to break the bank, just drink a few glasses of water and wine." β
Wang Fuzheng said: "Liuxian's words are wrong, your admission to the Guozijian is a big thing, my friends and others are honored, how can you be so hasty!"
Xi Fangping and Xiao Hanfeng echoed in unison.
They are affectionate, you must know that Chen Jianchen is going to the capital, the mountains are far away, and if they want to see each other again, I am afraid it will be a long time.
Chen Jianchen has already said that if he can settle down in the capital, he will take his mother and others up, which is equivalent to living and working in peace and contentment there.
If Wang Fu and the three of them want to have the opportunity to go to the capital, they will probably only have the way of the imperial examination, and after the township examination, they will go to the capital to participate in the palace examination. However, this way is not very realistic in recent years, not to mention the difficulty of the township examination, it is not easy to obtain the qualification of the township examination.
As for peacetime, it is categorically impossible to go north. Back and forth, a journey of almost half a year, who can stand it.
Therefore, this meal of practicing wine is of far-reaching significance.
It was difficult to be warm, Chen Jianchen was not pretentious, but he instructed that he could not start entertaining guests until the formal approval came down. Before that, there are still variables, and it is difficult to publicize.
Wang Fu said repeatedly, "You have your own measure, you don't need to worry".
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the night rolls up the stars for half a day, and the light shines.
Everything was ready, the doors and windows were closed, Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning sat facing each other, and in the center was the wooden box, ready to open it to see what kind of treasure it was.
The atmosphere was a little tight.
Ying Ning checked the doors and windows again and again to make sure that there were no big gaps, so she was relieved.
Chen Jianchen smiled and asked, "There's no need to be so cautious. β
Ying Ning said matter-of-factly: "It should always be prevented." If the treasure inside is full of brilliance and stimulated, and the doors and windows are not tight enough, won't it be seen by many people?"
Chen Jianchen smiled, and he didn't believe this statement in his heart anyway. Even if it is a magic weapon inside, it will definitely not inspire a hundred zhang of light, and the magic weapon is not a beacon.
"Okay, now Childe will open it. β
Ying Ning sat up straight, her eyes wide open.
Chen Jianchen didn't have too many thoughts, stretched out his right hand, and gently lifted it at the mouth of the box without a lock, and suddenly revealed the scene inside, and couldn't help but sigh softly, looking very surprised.
The lid of the box was opened, just blocking Ying Ning's sight, she realized that she was sitting in the wrong direction, and quickly moved over to look, and asked out first: "What is it?"
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, it's not a magic weapon, it's a stone. β
Stone?
Is there any mistake, who sent the stone this year?
Ying Ning was puzzled, stretched her neck to take a look, and sure enough.
The box is filled with a small stone, which is placed horizontally, about a finger long, square in shape, with clear edges, milky white and crystal clear throughout the body, and the upper end is polished and rounded, and the lower section is flat and neat, blank like jade.
Chen Jianchen stretched out his hand to take it out, but unexpectedly, after starting it, it sank, and this small stone actually weighed several catties, and he was caught off guard and almost didn't take it out.
Odd......
With a little bit of effort, it was successfully lifted, looking left and right, except for the unusually heavy, there was nothing weird.
"Well, Childe, there's a message here. β
Where the stone is pressed, there is a note with the words written on it: Mengjun gave the word, so he gave a stubborn stone, or it could be used as a seal.
The words are twisted and crooked, not serious, like a naughty child's graffiti, presumably from Guang Han's hand.
Stone?
Ying Ning was a little dazed, not knowing what stone it belonged to. She didn't know, and of course Chen Jianchen didn't know. But after thinking about it, since Guang Han carefully selected and sent it, it should not be ordinary.
For a reader, in addition to the four treasures of the study, the seal is also extremely important, a private seal, often equal to a personal business card, is branded with a strong personal style, and even has the effect of anti-counterfeiting and authenticity.
ββPrivate seals, after years of development, have already derived many kinds, surnames have seals, study names have seals, book collections also have special seals, some literati, a piece of ink treasure will be stamped with multiple seals at the same time.
Of course, Chen Jianchen also has a personal seal, but it is carved from ordinary Shoushan stone, and there is nothing surprising about it. At present, Guang Han sent this stubborn stone, with the intention of asking him to ask someone to engrave it into a seal.
Ying Ning was still a little puzzled, Guang Han had no reason to send an ordinary stone to Chen Jianchen, but what was the mystery of this so-called stubborn stone. After thinking about it, she suddenly blew out the oil lamp, and the school building was suddenly dark.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Jianchen asked curiously.
"I want to test this boulder......"
As soon as the words fell, the stubborn stone standing upright on the desk suddenly overflowed with brilliance, soft as water. This brilliance is getting stronger and stronger, and finally it is bright like a lamp, illuminating the square circle of the abbot Yu in detail, and it is much stronger than most of the oil lamps and candles.
Dare to love this stubborn stone, and the function of "Night Pearl"!
Chen Jianchen couldn't help but be amazed - produced by Guanghan, the fruit is extraordinary. With this ashlar, there is no need to light the lamp at night when reading at night. The light emitted by the stubborn stone is not only soft, not dazzling, and there is no smell of oil smoke, but also not afraid of wind and rain, and even the fire oil is saved, which is simply the first choice for environmental protection.
In a word, very scientific!
ββBlood sandalwood calligraphy, stubborn stone seals, and evil pen, before he knew it, Chen Jianchen was already "armed" all over his body, and if he threw one out casually, he would rob tens of millions of people.
Under the joy, he immediately wrote: It is difficult to get beautiful stones, and it is even more difficult to get stubborn stones;
