"The treasure of the country, this is the treasure of the country, Yuhao."

Old Man Kong's excited expression finally calmed down, and he sighed heavily, looking at Liu Yuhao's eyes full of kindness and a little bit of expectation.

I have to say that Liu Yuhao has brought him too many surprises in the past two years, so much that Old Man Kong is enough to reminisce the rest of his life.

Liu Yuhao's heart moved, and he smiled: "Old man, what kind of expression do you say Charlie would have if he knew about it?" ”

"Uh, you stinky boy."

Old Man Kong was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Liu Yuhao's words, and laughed.

I know that Liu Yuhao is not worried, and then another sentence came: "Hey, if you shoot with such a heavy weapon, I don't know how many people will be unable to close their eyes day and night!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Old Man Kong's hearty laughter then stopped abruptly, his face was flushed without taking a breath, and faintly, there was a nameless anger that rushed straight to Hitomi, "Boy, I warn you, if you dare to sell this treasure, I will not let you go." ”

Is it that serious? Liu Yuhao couldn't help but smash it, smash it, and smash it.

But seeing that the old man was really angry, Liu Yuhao was also a little embarrassed, shrunk his neck, and was about to reach out to help the old man Kong sit down, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

There was no way, Liu Yuhao had no choice but to stand beside Old Man Kong with an embarrassed face, and said with a sneer: "Old man, don't be angry, I just said that, but I really don't have that kind of thought, don't get excited"

Old Man Kong's face was pale, he waved his hand to refuse Liu Yuhao's support, and said: "It's not okay to say, the things left by the ancestors are not for you to exchange for money, don't have such thoughts in the future." ”

"I don't want to, I don't want to think about it from now on."

Liu Yuhao hurriedly waved his hand, his neck was red, but he didn't expect that because of one of his jokes, he attracted the stinking scolding of Old Man Kong, Liu Yuhao's grievance in his heart can only be described with a wry smile.

After a long time, Old Man Kong's face still looked extremely excited, and a faint dissatisfaction flashed in his cloudy eyes, "I know that the Yue'er fund you are doing is very expensive, but don't fight Tianzixi's idea, wait for Ming'er and I will ask the lawyer to come over and transfer all the shares of the Australian diamond mine to your name." ”

"Don't mind, old man, I was really joking with you just now."

Only then did Liu Yuhao know that the old man was serious, and he suddenly felt a feeling of regret to tears.

Not to mention the significance of the jade seal of the country, Liu Yuhao will never let it fall into the hands of others, just look at the past, but all the old objects that have passed through Liu Yuhao's hands, which one of them was sold by him?

Okay, Liu Yuhao understands now, it turns out that a bloody case caused by steamed buns has definitely happened.

Old Man Kong frowned, thought for a while and slowly asked, "Boy, although this heirloom jade seal is a leak that you picked up, let me ask you, what are you going to do with it in the future?" ”

This time, Liu Yuhao didn't dare to joke anymore, and hurriedly said: "Donate it, I will donate it to the country immediately after returning to China." ”

"Is this really what you're thinking?"

Hearing Liu Yuhao say this, Old Man Kong's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"It's true!"

Liu Yuhao nodded heavily.

Old Man Kong was slightly stunned, his face showed a hint of relief, and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly think of donating the jade seal to the country?" ”

"The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty!" Liu Yuhao said word by word.

How could Liu Yuhao not understand such a simple truth?

Whether it is the Xuande furnace, or the manuscript of Song Huizong, or even the jade dzi that Liu Yuhao wears on his left wrist all day long, they are all priceless treasures that can arouse people's jealousy, but those objects can only be said to be extremely valuable in Liu Yuhao's heart, but the real meaning has not yet reached a certain level.

But the heirloom jade seal is completely different, its value far exceeds the significance of its return to the country.

If you think about it a little, you can understand that in Europe, the crown and the scepter are regarded as the "treasures of the state" that symbolize the highest power. Then in ancient times, the "gold inlaid jade seal" carved by the "Heshi Bi" represented the legitimacy of holding the imperial power.

As the saying goes: "Privately rely on the seal of the clerk", you say that you are the true son of heaven, why? As long as you carry the priceless gold inlaid jade seal, it is clearly engraved: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"

With that thing at the bottom, the loach dares to be a dragon.

But does Liu Yuhao dare to be that dragon?

Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world to keep the heirloom jade seal, known as the treasure of the town, in his own home?

If Liu Yuhao is too selfish and insists on keeping the Son of Heaven in his hands, the seriousness of the consequences can be imagined by fools.

I am afraid that from the day the news came out, Liu Yuhao would not only have to be tired of dealing with the criticism of the world, but also be more likely to bring his hard-earned family business to a difficult situation.

Obviously, leaving the heirloom jade seal in his hands, Liu Yuhao can only face the embarrassing ending of never having peace in this life.

That kind of absurd and stupid thing to drink to quench thirst, Liu Yuhao won't do it!

"Old man, my limelight has been strong enough over the years, and this thing must be returned to the state."

Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and expressed his ambition of "great wisdom and foolishness" in his heart. Next, it's really time for Taoguang to keep up, always so desperate, I'm afraid that Old Man He may not be able to keep him.

As the saying goes, "a gun shoots a bird in the head", although this sentence is vulgar, but the words are not rough!

Old Man Kong's face finally became "sunny", he pursed his lips, a little unwilling, shook his head and said: "Hey, this is a national treasure, I feel sad when I think that it will be difficult to have this kind of opportunity to appreciate it up close in the future." ”

"Old man, since that's the case, you might as well keep it in your own hands as a souvenir."

Finally seized the opportunity to ridicule Old Man Kong, how could Liu Yuhao give up, and immediately said with a smile.

Old Man Kong rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled and patted his head again, and said, "I'm really old, why didn't I think of leaving something as a souvenir." ”

Liu Yuhao deliberately pretended to be shocked, and said dumbfounded: "Old man, you don't want to cut off half of it and keep it for yourself!" ”

"What do you think, you stinky boy."

Old Man Kong scolded with a smile.

But then, Old Man Kong took out something from a small door in the study, which really made Liu Yuhao's eyes light up suddenly, and there were many surprises in his heart.

"Old man, this is mugwort."

Because he wasn't sure, Liu Yuhao hurriedly asked.

Mugwort is an item as soft as cotton obtained by repeatedly drying the pestle, beating and crushing of mugwort leaves, and sieving out impurities and dust. Moxa wool can not only be used to make moxa sticks, but also the main material used in moxibustion.

But if it is seen by the naked eye, even the moxa wool with a very consistent length is an important material for making ink, just like those in the hands of Old Man Kong, it must be carefully made of pestle when making ink.

Old Man Kong smiled and said, "You kid still knows a little bit about everything, that's right, this is the silver mugwort used to make ink." ”

"Silver mugwort? Why is it called silver mugwort? ”

Liu Yuhao scratched his head and asked puzzled.

Old Man Kong pursed his lips, glanced at Liu Yuhao, and said angrily: "Do you think that ordinary ink clay can be worthy of the jade seal of the country?" Just to get this bit of silver mugwort has to go through eight processes. ”

"Hiss"

Liu Yuhao gasped.

In fact, he also knows that the ink made of silver mugwort is vermilion, bright and eye-catching; delicate and thick, fragrant smell; The cold does not condense in winter, and the summer heat does not leak; It is hot and dry, rainy and not mildew; The cinnabar spots are clear and three-dimensional; The imprint is clear and never fades. But Liu Yuhao didn't expect that there were so many articles behind the inconspicuous ink.

Old Man Kong said with a smile: "Although the self-made ink is very low, but the process is numerous, and it takes a long time, so it is very unsuitable for self-production. ”

"Old man, you were originally a master!"

Liu Yuhao laughed, and lost no time in gently slapping the back of Old Man Kong.

Old Man Kong smiled very appreciatively, opened the small wooden box in his hand, and said: "This kind of silver mugwort for special printing clay must be carefully selected, and then soaked in clarified quicklime water for 24 hours before it can be used. ”

"It can't be that simple, right?" Liu Yuhao asked with a smile.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Obviously, Mr. Kong was in a very good mood today, and after laughing again, he slowly explained the production method of silver wormwood to Liu Yuhao.

The mugwort material soaked in clarified quicklime water for one day must be replaced with new clarified quicklime water and soaked for another whole day, then changed to water and soaked for another day, and finally put it in a pot and boiled with water for half a day.

This is not counted, after the end, it is necessary to soak in boiling water for four hours, then replace the water and boil it again with water for 20 minutes, repeat it once and soak it in boiling water for four hours, after that, it is necessary to change the water and wash it three or five times until the water is clear.

"This, this is a bit of a problem."

Liu Yuhao understood it, but after understanding the production method of the silver mugwort velvet, he was dumbfounded, secretly stunned, and stupidly stunned.

I'm going to go!

Liu Yuhao shook his head and said secretly: "It's just that one of the materials needed to make ink clay is so troublesome, you can imagine how cumbersome the production process is on the top grade ink clay, it seems that the ancestors are indeed more leisurely than us modern people." ”

"These materials are all obtained according to the methods I mentioned above, and they are fished out of the water and dried in the sun to be the real silver mugwort."

Old Man Kong put those silver wormwood fleece aside like a treasure, if he knew that Liu Yuhao had slandered the ancestors in his heart just now, he was afraid that he would scold again.
