Then I saw a set of four treasures of the study packed in a brocade box.
Inkstone, rice paper, black ink, and brush.
Zhuang Zhou picked up a red inkstone and took a look at it. It should be made of some kind of stone.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't recognize this kind of stone.
It’s actually red.
Speaking of which, apart from knowing that the inkstone is made of some kind of red stone.
He doesn't recognize any stones.
"Brother Qin, what kind of stone is this inkstone made of?"
"The raw material is bloodstone."
Damn it!
Bloodstone?
Zhuang Zhou vaguely remembered hearing about this thing from his netizen Yun Zhonghe.
He had posted something online before, asking netizens what they would bring back if they could travel back to ancient times.
Among them, a netizen named Yun Zhonghe said that Tianhuang stone, chicken blood stone, and hibiscus stone are all good treasures.
They are basically extinct in modern times. If you can get these jades, you can sell them for a high price.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhou could be sure that this inkstone was definitely a good thing!
And these rice papers are obviously good treasures.
However, Zhuang Zhou was a little confused by these brushes:
"Brother Qin, this brush looks quite valuable."
Li Er smiled heartily. These things were all picked out by him personally.
How can it not be expensive?
What Li Er was thinking was, you gave me such a good treasure, I can't be left out.
That's why I selected a lot of treasures to give to Zhuang Zhou.
But now, he still has to pretend that it was sent by His Majesty.
He still has to consider this favor.
Now that Zhuang Zhou had asked, Li Er felt he could demonstrate it:
"Brother Zhuang, you have good taste. This brush is really something special!"
As he spoke, he picked up one and explained to Zhuang Zhou:
"The pen holder is made of rhino horn, and the pen cap is carved from Hetian jade. The most valuable part is the brush tip. See the color? Guess what hair it's made of?"
Zhuang Zhou took a look in the direction it was going. Red hair?
What animal has red fur?
It can also be made into a brush.
Zhuang Zhou shook his head. He really didn't understand this.
Li Er had obviously guessed that Zhuang Zhou wouldn't recognize his treasure:
"This brush is a gift from the King of Nanzhao to Your Majesty. The Nanzhao envoy said that this brush is made from the tail of a completely red fox, a red fox that is rarely seen in a thousand years.
Therefore, this pen is rare to be produced once in a thousand years."
