Chapter 232 White Jade and Rosewood Comb
Chapter 232 White Jade and Rosewood Comb
Friday arrived quickly.
Jewelry design finally ushered in the much-anticipated professional course.
Each student prepared a piece of jewelry raw material at the teacher's request.
Some took gold, some took silver, and some took pearls...
In short, the students got a variety of things.
Ruya took a small comb made of rosewood.
The comb is purple and black all over, with dense golden stars on it, and the carving is very exquisite.
There is a small hole at the end of the comb, and a white jade peace locket is threaded on it.
This was the eighteenth birthday gift Yao Yuan gave her.
Because the comb was handy and easy to use, Ruya brought it to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
I don’t know if it was Ruya’s illusion, but she always felt that the white jade was becoming more and more lustrous.
But she never knew what kind of jade it was.
As luck would have it, she had a specialized class on jewelry appreciation, so she brought the comb with her and wanted the teacher to help her appreciate it.
Yue Ling looked at the exquisite comb in Ruya's hand curiously, "Wow, Ruru, your comb is so beautiful, it has a classical charm, where did you buy it from, I have never seen this style on the market."
Yue Ling noticed that there was a word "雅" engraved on it. "Is it custom-made?"
Ru Ya was stunned for a moment when she looked at the comb. She lowered her eyes and looked at the comb in her hand. She said hesitantly, "This was given to me by Yao Yuan on my eighteenth birthday."
"Oh~" Yue Ling stretched out the last syllable, and she had an expression that said, "Look, what am I talking about? I'll tell you, Yao Yuan has been in love with you since high school. Do you know what it means when a boy gives a girl a comb?"
As expected, Yue Ling was met with Ru Ya's bewildered look.
She lowered her voice in disbelief, "Oh my God, you don't even know!!"
She glanced at the podium furtively and covered her mouth with her hand. "When a man gives a woman a comb, it's not a comb, it's a token of love."
Yue Ling was very sure, "I guess, he not only gave you a comb, but also wanted to help you comb your hair. Only when a man loves a woman terribly will he want to do this. You will see, sooner or later, he will do this."
Ruya was stunned. Is this really the case?
She still remembers that he said he was just carving it for fun.
At this time, the teacher at the podium had already noticed this pair of beautiful sisters.
After he showed it to a classmate, the old man looked at the comb in Ruya's hand with burning eyes, "Fifth row, the girl in the black T-shirt, yes, that's you, bring the small comb in your hand to the podium."
Ruya pointed at herself in surprise, and then under the gaze of everyone, she placed the delicate little comb on the projection light.
The old man with a white beard took the comb off the projector and couldn't let it go, praising it lovingly, "Students, don't underestimate this comb in my hand. It is made of the finest small-leaf red sandalwood."
"Red sandalwood is very common, but this kind with such dense gold stars is very rare. The gold stars are minerals that appeared in the cow-hair lines and brown eyes of red sandalwood during its growth. After oxidation and turning purple, the red sandalwood appears as stars."
The old man put the red sandalwood comb on the projection lamp. "Look, this comb is covered with dense golden stars. This kind of top-quality red sandalwood is hard to find in the market."
"It's just that it's a pity to make a comb..."
Ruya's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
The old man continued, "Do you think this Venus rosewood comb is top quality?"
He looked at the curious students under the podium. He pushed up his glasses, and his eyes sparkled. "Do you see the white jade on this comb?"
The old man held a magnifying glass and kept looking at the fine material. "This is actually mutton-fat white jade, which belongs to the Hetian jade family. Look at its smooth and delicate texture, crystal white, without any flaws. It is the best of the best. This small peace buckle is worth a lot of money!"
A student shouted, "Teacher, please tell me, how much are these combs and the peace locket worth?"
The old man took a magnifying glass and looked at the comb carefully over and over again, and finally stretched out eight fingers.
"Teacher, is it eight thousand?"
The old man stroked his beard and said concisely, "Eighty thousand is just the lower limit of this comb. As time goes by, its value will only rise higher and higher."
As soon as these words were spoken, the huge classroom was in an uproar.
The students all started whispering.
"Oh my god, she is indeed a school beauty. Even the comb she uses is so high-end. I wonder what it feels like to use a comb that costs 80,000 yuan?"
"Then go borrow it from the school beauty and see if she will let you try it."
"Well, forget it. I don't dare to mess with a school beauty who can hold a gun and fight."
"Why are you showing off? She stole the show today. She even brought all her wealth with her to teach a class."
"Yo yo yo, let me smell it, whose vinegar bottle was knocked over? It's so sour~"
The bell rang.
The comb returned to Ruya's hand.
She sat in the classroom, looking down at the comb in her hand thoughtfully.
He actually gave her such a valuable thing.
But when he gave it to her, he was so calm and relaxed.
Her hand gently touched the Cartier necklace around her neck.
Is this the necklace he customized for her?
He actually did so much for her silently.
Ruya felt extremely complicated, and it would be a lie to say she was not touched.
Yue Ling and Tong Xia stayed quietly beside her.
Thinking of Pei Shuo's request, Yue Ling considered for a moment, "Ruru, we have been in school for so long, and we haven't gone out to play together. I was planning to go out with you last week, but you were away for something. This week, let's go out and play together, and relax. Maybe some of the things we can't figure out will be figured out by then."
Yue Ling looked at Ru Ya's expression and said carefully, "Let's set off in a moment, okay?"
Ru Ya sighed and said, "Yeah, if you can't figure something out, just stop thinking about it for now."
But she has something else to do later.
She declined, "Not for a while. I have to attend a dinner party tonight. I promised them last week and I can't break my promise. How about..."
Ruya wanted to say, why don’t you guys go.
Before she could finish her words, Yue Ling interrupted her, "Ruru, are you busy? It's ok. We can wait for you. When will your dinner end? Tong Xia and I will pick you up then."
Seeing Ruya's hesitant look, Yue Ling started pestering her, "Oh, good Ruru, don't hesitate, let's go together, please."
If Ruya was confused just now, now she has a rough idea of what is going on.
She looked suspicious, "Is it just you and Tong Xia, or are there other people?"
Yue Ling knew that nothing could be hidden, so she laughed dryly and said, "Also, Pei Shuo and the others."
Ruya raised an eyebrow.
She knew it was true.
But this time, she didn't refuse.
