Chapter 138 Pangu Inkstone
The gift was half opened, and there were still a few exquisite brocade boxes and a very unremarkable hand box left on the table.
Duan Yixuan's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Li Qiao, "Do you want to tear down yours first?"
She had inquired with the housekeeper a long time ago, and that old suitcase was Li Qiao's congratulatory gift.
At first glance, I am particularly worried!
So she planned to use Li Qiao to attract others.
At this time, Li Qiao nestled in the grand teacher's chair in a loose posture, staring at Duan Yixuan casually, "As you wish."
She didn't have the heart to play with the child's way of attracting attention.
However, Duan Jingming quit, "Hey, Xuanxuan, this can't be done. You said you should open the presents from the youngest to the big ones. The gift box that Qiaoqiao gave is the largest, so she should be the last to open it."
Duan Yixuan had already touched the suitcase with one hand, and had to put it back because of Duan Jingming's words, "Grandpa, I was just joking."
"Okay, okay, quickly unpack it." As Duan Jingming said, he looked at his children, "The four of you finally got together today, and you are not allowed to leave early for a while. After unpacking the presents, accompany me to open the box." Playing cards, let's have fun."
Duan Jingming's wife passed away early, usually only the housekeeper and servants were with him at home, and he had children during his birthday, so naturally he didn't want them to leave too early.
And Duan Yixuan didn't delay anymore, and speeded up the speed of unwrapping the presents.
Not long after, the presents were torn apart. Duan Jingming took a look at one of the antique vases and ancient calligraphy and paintings, and handed them to the butler to put them away.
It could be seen that he was not in high spirits, he kept rubbing his fingertips, anxious to play mahjong.
At this moment, there is only a square brocade box and an ordinary glove box left on the table.
Duan Yixuan became more and more proud, picked up the square brocade box, and opened the hidden button while taking a deep breath.
She picked up the brocade box and handed it to Duan Jingming complacently, "Grandpa, look at this inkstone...do you like it?"
Hearing the sound, Duan Jingming sipped his tea and raised his eyebrows for a glance. Suddenly he put down the teacup in a hurry, his eyes lit up, "This, this is... the Pangu Inkstone?"
Duan Yixuan nodded complacently, and said loudly on purpose: "Yes, Grandpa. This is the Songhe Yannian Pangu Inkstone. I brought it back for you from Pangu Mountain, and this inkstone was exhibited at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exchange Conference before. However, it has been around for more than ten years.”
At this moment, it seemed that all the previous gifts had become a foil.
Duan Jingming held up the inkstone overjoyed, it was carved from superior bluestone, simple and generous, with a steady color, and the exquisite workmanship shows that it is expensive.
What's more, Pangu inkstone is originally one of the three famous inkstones in China.
Duan Jingming looked at it again and again, his eyes disappeared from the smile, "Xuanxuan's gift is so thoughtful, Grandpa likes it very much. This Pangu inkstone is really different, the carved lines are lifelike, good, that's great."
Everyone in the hall couldn't help whispering to each other. Aunt Duan Shuhua praised her uncle Duan Yuanhong, "Xuanxuan is getting more and more sensible. We have given so many gifts, but none of them can compare to her inkstone."
Duan Yuanhong and You Rongyan were very relieved, "This child didn't tell me. No wonder she ran to Pangu Mountain a while ago. It turned out that she went to ask the old man for an inkstone."
It is said that the inheritor family who can make Songhe Yannian Pangu Inkstone lived near Pangu Mountain, which shows her intentions.
At this time, facing everyone's praise, Duan Yixuan lowered his head pretending to be modest, and said flatteringly: "As long as Grandpa likes it."
And in such a scene, the Li family and his wife looked on as usual, and the younger uncle Duan Yuanhui also drank tea indifferently.
As for Li Jun and Li Yan, from time to time they gave Li Qiao refills of tea and fruit, and the whole family kept an attitude of staying out of the matter.
The Pangu inkstone, which seems to be the three famous inkstones, is not worth mentioning.
At this time, Duan Yuanhong turned his eyes to look at Li Qiao, "There is only one last gift left, is it pretty?"
