Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Chapter 518: The Thoughts in the Porcelain Patterns

In February at the Yang County Ruins, the spring breeze carried the scent of earth in the air, the weeds beside the exploration area sprouted tender green buds, and even the work of sorting out the porcelain fragments became more lively.

Gu Fanxing squatted in the No. 3 exploration area, carefully cleaning a newly discovered piece of porcelain - the body was light green, with delicate curled leaf patterns engraved on it. Although the edges were a little damaged, the exquisiteness of the pattern could still be seen.

"Xingxing, look at this piece of porcelain!"

Ling Jiuer ran over with a piece of porcelain in her hands, her eyes full of excitement.

"It's exactly the same pattern as the local kilns from the late Song Dynasty that the expert mentioned last time! I found it while cleaning just now, in the soil next to you!"

Gu Fanxing took the porcelain fragment and carefully compared the two pieces in his hand. His eyes lit up instantly. "Really! Look at the curvature of the leaf and the pattern of the petals. They are almost identical to the pictures in the expert's paper! This means that our exploration area No. 3 may contain kiln remains from the late Song Dynasty. If we can find more porcelain fragments, we may be able to restore the complete artifact!"

Pei Luonan came over with a bottle of warm mineral water in his hand. He unscrewed the cap and handed it to Gu Fanxing, saying with a smile, "You guys look so happy. Did you make any new discoveries?"

Pei Luonan looked at the patterns on the porcelain pieces carefully: "It is indeed exquisite, different from the Song Dynasty porcelain pieces discovered before, the patterns are more delicate and very distinctive.

If you want to find more porcelain fragments, I can talk to the site management office to expand the excavation area of ​​Exploration Area No. 3 and transfer a few more team members to help."

"Really? That's great!" Gu Fanxing's eyes were filled with surprise. "If we expand the excavation area, we might find more porcelain fragments or even kiln tools. This way, we can more accurately determine the location and age of the kiln!"

"Don't worry, I'll contact the management office this afternoon." Pei Luonan rubbed her hair, "But don't be too anxious, explore slowly, pay attention to safety, and don't tire yourself out."

Ling Jiuer smiled and said, "Boss Pei, don't worry, I will watch the stars and not let her stay up too late!"

Gu Fanxing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she patted Ling Jiuer gently: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

When Gu Fanxing was discussing the expansion of the excavation scope with Pei Luonan, he was drawing a rough sketch of the excavation area in his notebook with a pen in his hand, marking possible excavation areas.

Pei Luonan looked at her seriously, his eyes full of doting.

Gu Fanxing couldn't help but say, "I think the east side of Exploration Area No. 3 is more likely. We found more porcelain fragments there last time, and the age of the soil layer is closer to the late Song Dynasty."

"Okay, when I talk to the management office this afternoon, I'll focus on the eastern area." Pei Luonan said with a smile, "Also, I've contacted my friends at the Provincial Museum. They'll send experts over next week to help identify the porcelain fragments and guide the excavation work. This way, you can avoid some detours."

Gu Fanxing raised her head, her eyes full of emotion: "Luo Nan, you are so thoughtful. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much more time it would have taken me."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Pei Luonan held her hand, and the warmth came from his fingertips. "Your business is my business. Of course I have to consider everything for you."

After Pei Luonan contacted the site management office, he immediately expanded the excavation scope of Area No. 3 and transferred three team members to help.

Ling Jiuer looked at the busy team members and said to Gu Fanxing excitedly, "Xingxing, we will definitely be able to find more porcelain pieces soon!"

Gu Fanxing nodded, her heart full of anticipation.

Pei Luonan squatted beside her and helped her put the loose soil she had cleared into the bag. Occasionally, when he found a small piece of porcelain, he carefully handed it to her: "Xingxing, look at this one, is it?"

Gu Fanxing took the porcelain piece, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Yes! Although it's only a little bit, the pattern on it is the same as the previous one. It is also from the late Song Dynasty!"

When more than a dozen porcelain shards were found in the exploration area, Gu Fanxing held them in his hands with a smile on his face: "We've gained a lot today. If we keep going at this rate, we'll have more porcelain shards for the experts to identify when they come next week."

Pei Luonan came over, handed her a towel, and poured her a cup of warm osmanthus tea: "Drink some tea, you're tired all afternoon, take a break."

Gu Fanxing took the teacup and took a sip. The faint fragrance of osmanthus spread in her mouth, and her heart felt warm.

At night, Gu Fanxing was sorting out the porcelain pieces she had found during the day in the tent. Pei Luonan sat beside her and helped her organize the photos into the computer. He also recorded the unearthed location and soil depth of each porcelain piece in a notebook next to him. His handwriting was neat, more serious than the handwriting he usually used when signing contracts.

"Luonan, look at this piece of porcelain. There's a circle of twined branches on the edge. It's very similar to the pattern in the book 'Atlas of Song Dynasty Ceramics' that we saw in the Pei family study last time. Maybe they are products of the same kiln." Gu Fanxing picked up a piece of porcelain and handed it to Pei Luonan.

Pei Luonan took the porcelain piece, opened the atlas photo in the computer, and compared them.

"They are indeed very similar. Look at the spacing of the twining patterns and the shape of the petals; they are almost identical. When the experts come next week, I'll have them confirm it. If they are from the same kiln, we can determine the location of the kiln more accurately."

Gu Fanxing nodded, her heart full of anticipation.

She looked at Pei Luonan's serious comparison and couldn't help but move over and gently touch his cheek.

"Luonan, thank you for accompanying me in sorting out the porcelain pieces. If it weren't for you, I would have been busy until very late."

Pei Luonan's cheeks flushed instantly. He reached out and rubbed her hair, then smiled and said, "I'm very happy to be able to accompany you to do what you like."

Gu Fanxing leaned on Pei Luonan's shoulder, feeling at ease.

Pei Luonan lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead with a gentle tone.

"I'm lucky to have met you."

The wind was blowing gently outside the tent. The two of them leaned against each other, looking at the porcelain photos on the screen and occasionally discussing a few words. The air was filled with sweetness.

Gu Fanxing knew that no matter how difficult the future excavation work would be, as long as Pei Luonan was by her side, she would have the courage to persevere, because he was not only the person she liked, but also her strongest support on the road to pursuing her dreams.

The next morning, as soon as Gu Fanxing arrived at the exploration area, he saw Du Fei and Ling Jiuer.

Ling Jiuer held a notebook in her hand and said with a smile: "Xingxing, I looked up a lot of information about local kilns in the late Song Dynasty last night and took a lot of notes. Can you see if they are useful?"

Gu Fanxing took the notebook and looked at the densely packed notes inside. She was deeply moved. "Jiuer, thank you. This information is so useful. I haven't found such detailed information before."

Du Fei smiled and said, "Jiu'er stayed up past one last night just to look up this information. She even asked me to help her find papers and said she would definitely help you find more clues."

After saying that, Du Fei took out soy milk and fried dough sticks from the thermos and handed them to Gu Fanxing and Pei Luonan: "It's still hot. The fried dough sticks are freshly fried and crispy."

Gu Fanxing took the soy milk and felt warm in her heart.

She looked at Pei Luonan, Ling Jiuer and Du Fei beside her, and suddenly felt how lucky she was to have so many people supporting and accompanying her.

Pei Luonan looked at Gu Fanxing's happy expression with a smile on his face.

He knew that Gu Fanxing not only needed his company, but also the support of her friends.

He gently held Gu Fanxing's hand and whispered, "Let's work together to find the complete artifact."

Gu Fanxing nodded, his eyes full of determination.

She took a bite of the fried dough stick, the crispy texture spread in her mouth, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She knew that with the company of her loved ones and friends, she would be able to realize her dream, find the history hidden in the soil, and let more people see the charm of Song Dynasty ceramics.
