Chapter 196: Nameless Jade, Confusing
The copper piece sound emblem in the middle of the red sandalwood guqin paperweight, compared with the other eight, seems to be slightly translucent!
Originally, copper will not transmit light, but this is not just a copper sheet, but inlaid into the red sandalwood, no matter how tight, there will be physical gaps at the edges;
Is it hidden underneath this?
Yu Yao couldn't help but be eager to try.
Finally, he exhaled and made up his mind to pry it open and see!
Young and vigorous, he has a lot of money now, although his wealth is not yet big enough to a certain extent, but it is no longer Yu Yao as before.
30,000 yuan, you can afford to gamble.
The copper sheet was pried up. To be exact, it is a "copper hat" with a circle folded down on the side and buckled into a groove on the red sandalwood.
After the "bronze cap" was completely removed, a small circular hole was revealed on the red sandalwood!
However, the diameter of the circular shallow groove is also one centimeter, and the small circular hole in the middle is at most 0.8 centimeters in diameter, which is too small to fit into something?
Yu Yao picked up a strong flashlight and shone it inside, the hole was not only small, but also deep, it should be able to penetrate more than half of the thickness of the paperweight, like a small carved well.
At the bottom of the "small well", there is nothing, but on the middle "well wall", there is a small square pillar that is slightly raised, which looks like it is alive.
The characteristics and location of this small square pillar are unlikely to be pulled outward.
Yu Yao thought about it, found a stainless steel ear picker, inserted it into the "small well", and then tried to top it.
It seemed to be moving, so I increased my strength.
"Smack!"
As the small square pillar was pushed in, one end of the paperweight surface actually bounced up!
It's a trap!
It turned out that the outermost two of the seven strings on the surface of the guqin paperweight, plus the two vertical copper wires at both ends of the strings, made the whole a movable rectangular board!
It's the same as the irregular thick wood chips that Yu Yao pried open before.
It's just that this rectangular board, which connects the components inside, has a mechanism to lock it. Only by pushing the slightly raised small square column on the "well wall" into it can it be bounced. Otherwise, if you pry hard, you can't open it unless you pry it off.
Yu Yao removed the "cover" on this surface, and inside the body, in addition to the mechanism setting, there is also a square groove.
This small square groove, a little more than two centimeters long, is tightly and evenly filled with a piece of Sichuan white ash.
Yu Yao carefully picked up the small square of Sichuan white wax, put it aside first, and then carefully inspected the inside of the piano body to make sure that there was nothing else hidden, and then closed the "string cover" on the surface.
As soon as it was closed, there was a soft sound, and the small square column on the "well wall" was convex back.
"It's so exquisite!" Yu Yao couldn't help but exclaim.
He first put away the paperweight and the "copper hat" that he had pried off again, and put them in the brocade box.
This paperweight, you don't need to make a move. Go back and find a master with good craftsmanship, discuss the design, and see how to repair it more beautifully. At the same time, the "copper cap" in the middle should be easy to remove. In this way, it is not only an old red sandalwood guqin paperweight, but also a delicate small box of organs, not bad!
Yu Yao just thought about it briefly when he put away his things, and after putting away the brocade box, he couldn't wait to pick up this small square of Sichuan white ash.
It is impossible to hide a piece of Sichuan white wax with such an ingenious mechanism! The only possibility is that there is something wrapped in this piece of Sichuan white wax.
Sichuan white wax, also known as insect wax, is different from the current chemical wax synthetic wax, is pure natural, the male larvae of the ash insect gather on the ash tree, resulting in the secretion of a white wax, and then processed and purified. Kawabai ash is very versatile, but the price is not much higher.
Because he didn't know what would be wrapped in the wax, Yu Yao didn't dare to use fire to burn it, and even the blade didn't dare to use it. Fortunately, the texture of Sichuan white ash is soft, and the toothpick is cut down little by little, and the slow work is fine.
The last thing Yu Yao picked out was a small piece of jade.
Yu Yao took a small brush with a hard bristle and dipped it in water to scrub it little by little, it was too small, and it was quite difficult to brush.
After cleaning it thoroughly, Yu Yao pinched this small piece of jade-like thing, and to be honest, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because he didn't recognize what jade it was!
The color is good, elegant light blue and white. Opaque, at least lower than the transparency of Hetian jade.
The moistness is good, a bit similar to the oil of Hetian jade, but it is brighter than Hetian jade, but it can't reach the brightness of jade.
The hardness cannot be measured, but the touch feeling should be lower than the hardness of Hetian jade, and at the same time higher than the hardness of ordinary stone.
Not Hetian jade, not jade, not Lantian jade, not Xiuyu, not Dushan jade, not agate, not turquoise, not coral, not beeswax······
It is not a gemstone such as tourmaline and sapphire, nor is it a famous stone such as Shoushan stone and Qingtian stone······
Broadly speaking, the types of jade are very complex, but Yu Yao thinks to himself, everything that is worth a little money, he basically knows, because the valuable ones often have a certain reputation.
But this small piece of jade is not any kind of jade he knows!
If you don't have fame and low value, why bother to hide it so hard?!
Moreover, this method of hiding is not completely hidden, but hidden in a piece of stationery with good materials that can be handed down to the world.
There was something hidden in the paperweight, and it was taken out, only to be in another mystery again!
However, this mystery also brought a little clue, and at the same time, Yu Yao finally figured out why such an irregular shape appeared on the end of the paperweight.
The shape of this small piece of jade is a bit like a pyramid. However, the pyramid has four edges, and this small piece of jade has three edges, along with three inclined planes, as if polished, with only a few parts showing signs of defects.
In this way, the clue left for Yu Yao is: this small piece of jade seems to have been knocked or chiseled from some jade piece.
However, because of its small size, it is impossible to determine how big the original jade piece was, let alone what kind of jade piece it was.
And the reason why the end of the paperweight makes such an irregular shape is because the section of this small piece of jade "bottom of the tower" is this shape!
It's a very special hint.
It is not difficult to deduce that this person should know the origin of this small piece of jade!
He cherished it so much, but Yu Yao couldn't even recognize the texture······
"He used this section as a mark, indicating that in his opinion, this section is very important!" Yu Yao thought so, picked up the flashlight again, and shone it on this section······
