It just so happened that Lu Jianfeng brought Lu Hao to pay New Year's greetings. Lu Jianwei went to open the door, and hesitated when he saw them.

"Hello." Yuki Shiraki bowed politely to him and handed a greeting with both hands: "I am Yuki Shiraki. This is my visiting. Please help me pass it to Master Lu, thank you."

This is a beige envelope with five words written in a fountain pen on the front.

There is a cherry blossom on the seal, which looks very elegant overall.

"This is a New Year gift I gave to Master Lu, I wish you good luck in the New Year."

Lu Jianwei thanked him before taking the wooden box handed over by the man next to him and bought it slightly.

But when Lu Jianwei invited them in, they refused, and only said that they would make a special visit today.

Watching them go away, Lu Jianfeng couldn't help but look at the wooden box in Lu Jianwei's hand with some envy: "Hey, brother, I said it's not just that jade building in An Ge'er, right? Do you want me to help you get it?"

"No, the Yulou is not that small." Lu Jianwei frowned slightly and walked in with the wooden box in his arms: "You guys sit down first, I'll take the things upstairs."

Lu Hao looked around and saw that the yard was quite empty and there were no rare grasses, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He sat down on the sofa, but he was still a little nervous.

Lu Ma brought the tea and said, "I peeled the grapefruit, there is still sugar here. Oh, I'll turn on the TV and check it out!"

Lu Jianfeng and she were chatting together, but Lu Hao's eyes couldn't help but follow Lu Jianwei upstairs.

It was not until the door of the study was gently covered that he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.

Seeing Lu Jianwei coming in, Lu Zian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and his eyes fixed on the wooden box he was holding: "Dad, what is this?"

"This is a man from Kuangguo. He asked Yugui Baimu to send him a message, which means he will come to visit tomorrow." Lu Jianwei handed him the letter and carefully placed the wooden box on the table: "What do you think this means?"

President Liu and Director Danqing next to each other looked at each other, and they were both a little confused.

Lu Zian was also a little surprised. He thought about it, opened the envelope, and pulled out a very neatly folded letter paper.

His words were very simple, but his tone was very sincere. He said that he was full of guests today and was inconvenient to disturb him. He came to visit him at 9 o'clock tomorrow, which seemed very sincere.

Lu Zian raised his eyebrows, put down the letter paper, and opened the wooden box.

The wooden box is dark red all over, silky and smooth to touch, painted very evenly, without any variegated colors.

After opening it, there is only a very beautiful box inside.

The whole body is pitch black, and the golden pine pattern is made with fine scribble.

Open it again, and there is a very exquisite pen inside.

Three-tailed goldfish, two large and one small, swaying up the dark pen or shining with golden light.

The craftsman cleverly arranged them in various parts of the pen body. The narrow and oblique pen body forms a small and elegant underwater world.

The three-tailed goldfish each have their own freedom and leisure.

The swaying bottom of the goldfish are staggered stones and swaying grass.

The gap between the water stones is hidden in the name of the craftsman: Takaoka Chiaki.

Being so cautious, it turned out to be just a fountain pen?

Lu Jianwei said he couldn't understand: "This pen... looks pretty good."

"What matters is not the pen." Lu Zian picked up the pen and observed it carefully: "This is Masae."

What is Masae?

Masae is a type of lacquer art technique "hammering gold" and is called "Fenxiu Masae" in the Puji country.

In fact, all the crafts of Makie belong to lacquerware.

These crafts and techniques were also passed down from China to Puji Kingdom, but this technique was developed and passed down in Puji Kingdom.

It has a history of more than 1,500 years. The name of the Puppet Kingdom japan means lacquerware.

Europeans directly call porcelain "hina" and lacquerware "japan", which shows the status of Puguo lacquerware.

"If it is purely handmade, it will take at least three months for the craftsman to make such a pen." Lu Zian narrowed his eyes slightly and admired it carefully.

However, after looking carefully at the signature, President Liu exclaimed in a low voice: "Takaoka Chiaki? His pen... I once saw a pen priced at more than 80,000 yuan..."

More than 80,000!

Lu Jianwei widened his eyes and looked at the small pen.

This gift seems unintentional, but it is really a bit of a problem.

Lu Zian didn't care about the price, he just slowly stroked the pen body: "This is the most difficult [Maoyi Genji Mai]. It makes the bulging paint surface form a gentle slope, making the surface more vivid and realistic."

Paint, draw, dig, and grind.

Every step requires extremely meticulous operation.

The paint is paint, and the pen body is painted with traditional Puppet National Paint.

Drawing is a drawing, and the theme is outlined with a variety of mouse brushes of different specifications on the paint surface.

Maki is a bamboo utensil called [Powder Bucket] and sprinkle gold powder on the paint surface.

Grinding is grinding. After more than 130 paintings and curing, it is carefully polished with charcoal until the pattern is bright and clear and presented on the pen body.

"What does it mean for them to give such a pen?" After knowing the value of this pen, Lu Jianwei felt even more strange.

Lu Zian smiled faintly and put the pen back into the box: "The meaning is very simple. Although I came to ask for advice, I also clearly showed my attitude."

Humble but neither humble nor arrogant.

This Shiraki Yuki is a bit interesting.

"But they shouldn't choose Masae. If I want to choose, I will choose a craft unique to Puppets and China does not have, which will have better results." Lu Zian smiled and gently covered the wooden box with a calm tone: "After all, Masae is a skill developed from the traditional Chinese gold-drawing craft."

President Liu hesitated a little: "Golden paint..."

"Yes." Lu Zian smiled slightly and looked distant: "It's just gold-painted paint. It seems that they don't know enough about me."

After all, although the "Reincarnation" he made for Dunhuang did not use gold lacquer, it used lacquer thread and soil.

With his current skills, the lacquer thread and soil craftsmanship will naturally only be more proficient.

"Masae..." Lu Zi'an's lips bent slightly, and his fingertips gently knocked on the wooden box: "I didn't remember it, but I didn't remember it. This craft is originally from China."

Is it better than the best?

In the old days, he was passed down from China to Puji Kingdom, and then he promoted it to his level and suppressed his beauty.

Well, that's great.

After seeing off President Liu and the others, he was about to turn back upstairs to study, but was stopped.

"Brother An." Lu Jianfeng looked at him with a smile and said kindly: "Oh, you don't have to spare time during the New Year. It's too hard. Come on, sit and rest quickly."

"No." Lu Zian glanced at his father: "Uncle Feng, please sit down. Sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you for now."

When Lu Jianwei received the signal, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Jianfeng: "Come on, let's have a drink, we two have had a good drink for a long time..."

Lu Hao, who was about to get up, could only sit back hesitate and ate an orange in silence. Well, it was so sour.

Back in the study, Lu Zi'an opened the system and looked at the meritorious value.

Because of the storm this time, his fame has increased a lot. Yulou has attracted the attention of many people from the Eagle Kingdom to the Puppet Kingdom, and his merit value has increased to nearly 50,000.

"One Leaf of Bodhi" was systematically rated as a level 5 work, well, it's only level 5...

Lu Zian frowned with not very satisfied, but was quite happy when he saw the faith point.

The faith point has risen to 32 points...

He thought about it, turned to the lacquer art item, and directly exchanged the faith point for ten points.

He is currently at the entry level, so he will first upgrade his lacquer art to the primary level.

He didn't think about finding the paint himself, and directly exchanged the raw paint in the system.

This raw lacquer is called urishi, and it is only born in southern China, South Korea, Vietnam and Puppet countries.

It can only be collected once a year, and it needs to be left for 3-5 years after collection to process it into a kind of wear-resistant, honey-shaped raw lacquer, which is extremely rare.

He searched in the box and picked out a small piece of square wood.

He slowly cut in with a flat knife, and slowly dug it out and carved it into two hollowed-out small drawers.

Adding a small mechanism with mortise and tenon structure, it turns into an exquisite small box.

Lu Zian thought about it and slowly carved according to its patterns.

The bas-relief technique is now particularly proficient and has become very successful. He simply used five layers of carving on it to carve an elegant and clear plum.

The stems of this plum blossom are thin and slender, with layers of repeated petals, which will feel charming if they are replaced by other flowers, but the plum blossoms under Lu Zi'an's knife have a sense of arrogant, cold and nobleness.

When you look carefully, you will find that the patterns on the petals are delicate and even light fluff on the edges, which are extremely realistic.

After Lu Zi'an carved the plum blossoms, he stopped and picked up the frosted paper to polish it carefully.

After repeated over and over again, I finally polished it smooth and delicate, and felt very good.

Then he took the paint and slowly brushed the entire wooden box inside and out.
