Chapter 36 Mistaking Pearls for Fish Eyes
Old Master Liu immediately became interested. There were many tools on his table. He picked up a white blade that looked like it was made of shells.
Shen Qianfei also came forward, blinking her big eyes, looking very excited, and speaking without thinking.
"Oh, Grandpa Liu, please be careful. I read a short story that said during the war, a man camouflaged a national treasure in order to protect it from being lost. I heard that the national treasure is now in a museum in Kyoto."
Just as Mr. Liu was about to scrape the copper furnace, he paused.
As if he had thought of something, his expression became particularly serious and earnest.
He turned up the light of the desk lamp, wrapped the white blade with a layer of gauze made of something unknown, picked up the magnifying glass, and then gently scraped the place where Shen Qianfei had wiped it.
Shen Qianfei wiped her hands clean and turned her back quietly.
Then, he clenched his fists secretly.
Her hands seemed different from before.
It seems something went wrong.
Shen Qianfei's heart was beating a little faster. She didn't know what kind of changes this question would bring to her.
But she was absolutely certain that this change was related to her space.
Just like that day when she jumped off the big rock, but jumped through the soil that was several meters thick.
It seems incredible, but after thinking about it, it finally came to nothing.
No one knew that she had a treasure from another dimension in her hands.
Therefore, without extremely special methods, others will never discover this disguise.
or……
Shen Qianfei thought that the master might know the true origin of this Xuande furnace.
Otherwise, how could he have discovered it by chance?
Time passed little by little, and Old Master Liu seemed to have forgotten Shen Qianfei who was sitting next to him.
Just now, the place where Shen Qianfei wiped hard had scratched out an area the size of a fingernail.
Then the dark golden furnace body was revealed.
Shen Qianfei had never seen this color before.
It looks dull, but it seems to be gradually emitting a wonderful luster. Just a small piece can make you feel its smoothness and delicacy.
The room was so quiet that Mr. Liu seemed to be suffocating.
Then, Dr. Wan, who was holding two bowls of lotus seed and white fungus soup, was a little shocked.
Shen Qianfei immediately stood up, carefully took the two bowls of soup and placed them on the table, then stood aside.
At this time, the old man's hands were shaking.
Doctor Wan sat beside him anxiously, holding his hand and taking his pulse while saying, "What's wrong? What's the matter? Why are you so anxious? Calm down and take a deep breath..."
So this is the advantage of having a spouse who is a doctor.
After all, Mr. Liu was a man who had been through a lot, so he quickly calmed down and started to make a phone call with trembling hands.
I made three calls in one go.
Ask someone to send someone or a car to their home, and ask a few museum staff to stay on standby and send a car to pick them up later...
Although the Liu family is small, it seems unusually noisy at this time because of these phone calls.
Shen Qianfei didn't know what to do. She stood by and asked softly, "Grandpa Liu, are you okay?"
Old Master Liu looked at Shen Qianfei and then at the copper furnace that was quietly placed on the table. It was most likely the Xuande furnace.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like crying.
If it weren't for this child, would he have thrown the copper furnace aside after finishing his research? Maybe he would have sold it for scrap, or more likely, it would have been thrown away as junk a hundred years later...
In an instant, I thought of many possibilities and a cold sweat broke out on my back.
If that is really the case, he will be a sinner for all eternity.
He will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and will never be able to turn over.
He will become a laughing stock.
Even if I die, I cannot escape the blame.
His good reputation throughout his life would be ruined in an instant.
His fingers were shaking and his heart was pounding, but he had to control himself.
Shen Qianfei pretended not to know and said, "If everything is ok, I'll go back to my room."
Dr. Wan didn't know what happened, but she saw a small piece of the copper stove exposed after the thick layer was peeled away. She could tell the difference at just one glance.
She shook her husband's hand and said to Shen Qianfei with a smile, "Fei Fei, you've been tired all day, go and have a rest. I have cleaned up the room, it's next to Qingqing..."
Shen Qianfei knew that the bowl of lotus seed soup was given to her by Grandma Wan.
She didn't act pretentiously. She smiled sweetly at the old couple, then walked slowly towards her room with the bowl in her hand.
Old Master Liu sat on the chair, grabbed his wife with his backhand, pointed at the copper stove, and tried his best to suppress his emotions, "Old Wan, I mistook pearls for fish eyes. It is really a sin, a sin, a sin!"
"This is most likely the Xuande furnace, a genuine one!"
Doctor Wan was stunned.
Because her husband is in the cultural relics business, and after being together for so many years, she has more or less understood a little bit of the subject through what she has seen and heard.
It is said that the genuine Xuande furnace is made of a kind of wind-milled copper. It has to be repeatedly refined, and precious metals such as gold and silver are added at the same time. In this way, it can be fired more and more pure. After a series of tedious processes, precious metals such as gold and silver will float on the surface. After the product is finished, just wipe it gently and it will emit a faint dark golden luster.
The first batch was said to have 3,000 pieces, but only one in a thousand remains today.
"Is it real, or a replica from the Qing Dynasty?" Dr. Wan still raised his doubts.
Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and said, "If it was a Qing Dynasty imitation, there is no need to disguise it. However, we have to wait until it is restored to its original appearance."
The disguise technique was so advanced and amazing that he didn't even understand how it was done.
So, there is a lot of work to be done.
Dr. Wan nodded, knowing that his wife would live in the museum from now on.
Seeing that he was fine, she went to pack his things.
Shen Qianfei slowly finished her lotus seed soup and went next door to check Qingqing's paper. Liu Qingqing had a good foundation, so it was not difficult to give her extra lessons.
She carefully explained the key points and highlights to Liu Qingqing.
Then I heard several people talking in the living room.
Liu Qingqing couldn't suppress her curiosity and ran out. Shen Qianfei told Liu Qingqing that she was a little tired that day and wanted to rest early.
So Shen Qianfei returned to her room.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Shen Qianfei, who had been resting with her eyes closed, got up and entered the space.
It's still the same here, nothing has changed.
Shen Qianfei decided to give it a try.
Sitting on the only wooden chair, she opened the jar and placed the broken bracelets on the table one by one.
I clenched my hands, then stretched them out. I don't know why, but I always felt that my hands were much more flexible than before.
When she picked up a small jade object, the steps to repair the broken jade bracelet emerged in her mind, and the picture was so fast that it almost flashed by.
You don't even need to remember it, it's so simple.
I would like to make a special statement that part of the information about the Xuande furnace that appears in this chapter comes from the Internet, and the other part is fabricated. I know my readers are talented, so please don’t delve into it too deeply. Please forgive the inaccuracies. Let’s just have fun watching it, okay? I love you!!!
