I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

The next day, the courtyard, at 9:00 in the morning.

Hu Muzhi was lying on the Arhat bed dreaming.

There were rapid knocks on the door, accompanied by shouts.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?  …

Hu Muzhi opened his eyes, got up and opened the courtyard door.

Seeing that the person knocking on the door was a man in an industrial suit with a bundle of wires on his shoulders, Hu Muzhi immediately understood that the person who installed the telephone was here.

This invited people in, and he was lying on the reclining chair under the plane tree, continuing to make up for his sleep.

At more than 10 o'clock, the person who installed the CCTV also came.

Since the courtyard has been installed with telephones and closed-circuit televisions, although it has already stopped, the lines are still there.

So it didn't take much time, and the two staffs were all done.

"Walk slowly. 35

After sending the people away, Hu Muzhi was about to close the courtyard and continue to sleep for a while.

At this moment, the roar of the car came from far and near.

Immediately afterwards, a Jeep 212 stopped steadily at the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at Wang Luotian in the driver's seat, Hu Muzhi said, "Brother Wang..."

"Brother Hu..." Wang Luotian replied with a smile, "You have deceived me badly. 35

Hu Muzhi understood that Wang Luotian should be referring to the character from yesterday, so he asked, "Does your grandfather still like it?"5

"I like it, I like it very much." Wang Luotian replied, "I'm going to bring something here early in the morning.

With that said, Wang Luotian opened the car door and got out of the car.

"Give something?" Hu Muzhi looked at Wang Luotian with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask me, the old man asked me to give it, and I don't know what it is. 35 Wang Luotian didn't explain too much, he just opened the trunk after a prevarication.

I saw that the trunk was full of a lot of things, but Hu Muzhi didn't know what it was, because these things were packed in brocade boxes of different sizes.

Before Hu Muzhi asked what it was all about, Wang Luotian had already said, "Brother Wang, give me a hand".

As he said that, he picked up a few brocade boxes and walked towards the yard.

When he came back, he found that Hu Muzhi was still standing there, so he continued: "Brother Hu, why are you standing still, let's help you together. 35

"Oh... oh." Hu Muzhi came back to his senses and moved the things into the yard together.

After all the golden boxes in the trunk were emptied, Hu Muzhi opened his mouth and said, "Brother Wang, can we talk about it now?

"I really don't know what these things are." Wang Luotian smiled and said, "After my grandfather saw your words yesterday, he liked it so much that he asked me to send these things over this morning, and he said that there was a piece of paper inside, you You'll understand when you see it."

"So don't make it difficult for me, just accept it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, I made an appointment for dinner at noon and left first.

After speaking, Wang Luotian left the yard without stopping.

But just after going out for a while, he came back again.

"Almost forgot about it."

Hu Muzhi turned his head to look, and saw Wang Luotian holding a large bundle of paper in his hand, and the size was very large.

After putting it on the ground, Wang Luotian waved to Hu Muzhi and left again.

From the color, Hu Muzhi determined that this was not ordinary paper, so he came to the edge of the bundle with thousands of sheets, untied the rope on it, and took one.

First, looking at the bright light, Hu Muzhi found that the paper was densely covered with cloud-like filaments, as well as the tendons of Liao grass.

Then Hu Muzhi held the paper and shook it for a while, and suddenly a series of soft voices sounded.

"It's really good rice paper." Hu Muzhi made a judgment in his heart.

Not only that, but also raw rice paper, which is the most suitable for writing calligraphy.

Among the four treasures of the study, paper is the least valued, but the most important.

Because there is no paper, no matter how good your calligraphy is, no matter how high your skills are, your works will not be handed down.

But these days, everything is fake, and rice paper is no exception.

Many unscrupulous businessmen often use some calligraphy and painting paper to pretend to be rice paper to make profits.

Ordinary calligraphy and painting paper is just a kind of ordinary paper with moisturizing properties, no matter its raw material composition, production process, use effect, shelf life, and rice paper are not the same.

The best rice paper has always maintained the bamboo curtain filtration method for paper fishing; the drying method of baking with a fire wall and manual peeling and sticking is used to dry the paper, and the paper is visually inspected one by one.

Really high-quality good rice paper is made by mixing about 70% sandalwood fiber and about 30% straw fiber. Its cost is high, and more than 100 processes are required.

The production process of calligraphy and painting paper is relatively simple. The leather used is only cooked, peeled, washed and then broken and used. Since there is no natural bleaching process of sunlight, intensive bleaching is carried out to make it white, which damages the fibers in the paper. In addition, the fiber tension of mulberry bark and L. rubra is not strong enough, so the fastness is poor, it is easy to change color, and it is difficult to store for a long time.

Not only that, the good rice paper also has the value of collection.

As long as it is stored properly, there is room for appreciation.

Hu Muzhi remembers that in 2022, he wanted to buy a piece of five-foot rice paper that was properly preserved twenty-five years ago, for about one hundred yuan.

Take back your thoughts.

In order to determine the purpose of Wang Chengfeng sending these things, Hu Muzhi opened one of the brocade boxes.

I saw an oval ink stick inside.

Hu Muzhi took it out and took a closer look, and found that it was a piece of emblem ink.

Ink is a pigment for writing and painting, and it is mainly divided into two categories: pine smoke and oil smoke.

Pine smoke ink is made from soot from burning pine branches, and oil smoke ink is made from animal or vegetable oil.

Ink is ground by inkstone to produce ink suitable for brushes, which is an indispensable article for ancient writing.

The Hui ink has the characteristics of falling paper such as lacquer, black and moist color, durable for a long time, non-adhesive paper and pen, strong fragrance, and greasy texture.

It has the reputation of being light when twisted, clear by grinding, sweet by smell, firm as jade, silent in research, a little as lacquer, and true for a thousand years.

The previous Hu Muzhi has always used a very common ink stick to grind ink.

Hu Muzhi put Huimo back in the brocade box and opened another box again.

This time inside (Wang Zhao) is a writing brush.

The brush is made of bamboo carving and consists of a pen barrel and a pen cap.

Tick ​​the ground with shallow carving of flowers and birds. The flowers compete for each other's beauty, and the stamens and flower hearts are clearly delineated.

Ribbon birds spread their wings and dance in the meantime, with lush branches and leaves, a prosperous elephant.

The decorative layout is dense and sparse, and it is quite organized. The decoration is detailed, accurate and clear, showing the simple style. At the end of the barrel, the six-character regular script ".||Da Ming Wanli Year System" is written in straight script.

"Ming Wanli, a bamboo-carved brush with flower and bird patterns." Hu Muzhi couldn't understand why Wang Chengfeng wanted to give him such a precious thing.

As each brocade box was opened, Hu Muzhi discovered that the contents were all related to the Four Treasures of the Study.

At the same time, Hu Muzhi also found the piece of paper in Wang Luotian's mouth.

This took it in his hand and slowly opened it.

Looking at the line of words written on it, Hu Muzhi couldn't help but twitch.

He finally understood Wang Chengfeng's purpose.

I want to meet myself.
