Who doesn't have two hobbies for a son like Master Ke?

Not to mention the children of the powerful, most of the scholars who have surplus wealth have one or two hobbies.

However, because the children of the powerful and the children of the family are exposed to too many things, their interests and hobbies are more extensive and elegant.

For example, Li Hehui loves chess and tea ceremony; Song Mingqian was obsessed with painting and wine to a certain level; Master Ke has a love for calligraphy and a soft spot for carving. These are all "tools" for their self-cultivation, because they have studied for too long, and they have also learned some essence.

is like Lord Ke, because of his noble status and the right-hand man of Emperor Yunwen, he is not good at making friends, and his relationship with most officials in the court is only mediocre, even if outsiders invite him to eat tea and drink, in order to stabilize his personality, most of these gatherings do not participate.

There is less social time and more personal time. With so much time to pass the time, he had to do something, so Master Ke practiced calligraphy and carving to a certain level. Because the time spent practicing can be counted as "years and months", even if it was just to kill time earlier, it has now become a habit and a true love.

However, Master Ke really has some talent in carving, and his proud works in Ke's mansion occupy as much as a treasury. Whether it is stone carving, wood carving, root carving, or jade carving, Master Ke is handy, and it is very creative. Whether it is a person, a landscape, or a thing, Master Ke has also seen a bit of the true meaning, and now his carving skills are not far from the master, even if they are not at the master level.

In such a situation, when Lord Ke saw such a large piece of jade, how could he not see the joy of hunting, and how could he not be shocked and emotional?

Even the first time he saw this stone king, he simulated the carved image in his mind. If this is his, he will carve a scene of prosperity and peace, Haiyan River clear, and all the people live and work in peace and contentment; It's not bad to carve a grinning beast unicorn; It seems that it can also be carved into a scene of a giant ship swaying and going backwards under a storm; It is to carve out the peach blossom source of Mr. Tao's pen, and you can give it a try.

There are too many ideas in his heart, and no matter what kind of Ke master wants to practice, but this jade rough stone is not his! According to His Majesty's curiosity-loving nature, he must take the jadeite rough as his own, and it will be difficult for him to see him in the future, let alone carve it himself.

It's also so sad.

Master Ke's always serious and square face suddenly showed a bit of collapse and sorrow.

But soon, he picked himself up again.

If such a good thing is just put in the treasury and dusty, what a waste of things, he will go back and talk to His Majesty to make good use of this jadeite.

This jade water head is good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top imperial green. If this is carefully designed and carefully carved, it may become a national treasure that will last for centuries in the future.

He can't have it, but he can be involved in the production.

Master Ke nodded quietly, and it was decided!

He has not met for decades and asked His Majesty once, His Majesty will not refuse him if he does not look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.

Thinking that he would have the opportunity to carve this jade with his own hands in the future, Master Ke showed a little joy on his face. In the eyes of Lord Wu, he is happy for His Majesty. What are you happy about? Naturally, there must be heavy treasures in the treasury!

This thing, whether it is a reward or a carved utensil, is placed in the Taihe Hall for people to watch, then Your Majesty has face.

Master Wu said, "This is a good thing, and if you look back and present it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be happy." ”

Master Ke nodded, "What Lord Wu said is extremely true. But his eyes were glued to the jade, and he couldn't move it no matter what.

Seeing this, Xu Erlang's eyes flashed with a smile of understanding.

He vaguely heard Qing'er say that his father-in-law was quite good at calligraphy, painting and carving. Especially in the carving, Master Ke is fascinated and very creative. He also gave Qing'er a seal he had carved himself......

Soon everyone came to the fourth floor.

There were five conscious men lurking near the passage to the fourth floor, and when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, they slashed at them with their large knives. Fortunately, Mohe was the first to stop these people, otherwise Lord Ke, who was out of his soul, would have borne the brunt of being cut.

Master Ke escaped by luck, and then said in fear, "It's careless." It's just that I still think about that stone king, so I didn't look at the situation here. ”

This also reminded everyone that just because the first three floors came smoothly, they didn't think that the next few floors would be safe.

Know that the earlier smoke and black smoke were emitted through the holes left in the inner walls of the peaks. As for the ones that remain, because of the partition between each layer, the higher you go, the less smoke and black smoke there is. Up to the fourth floor, the people here were unharmed, which shows that the smoke and black smoke did not enter here at all.

After that, each layer should be more careful, after all, so far, a total of twenty or thirty people have died in this peak, and there are still sixty or seventy people missing. Those people may be hiding in some corner they don't know about, ready to strike them when they are unprepared.

Beware.

Xu Erlang said, "Two adults be careful. ”

Master Ke said, "Shi Heng reminded me that I was careless before. ”

Lord Wu said, "How many layers are there in this mountain?" Now that we have all reached the fourth floor, we have only met twenty or thirty people, so where have the other dozens of people gone? Aren't they all hidden in the upper layers? Is this entire mountain being hollowed out? ”

Hollowing out the entire mountain...... What an incredible thing it must be.

Not to mention how much manpower, material and financial resources should be wasted, but that the stones here are extremely hard, and if you want to cut these stones off one by one, what kind of strong man does it have to be, and how sharp a weapon can you hold?

Lord Wu was deeply incredible, and if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that anyone could persistently move on a mountain until the entire mountain peak was hollowed out and turned into his own treasury for storing gold and silver artifacts.

This thought is also treacherous and bold.

Lord Wu shook his head and followed Xu Erlang and Master Ke to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is narrower than the first three floors, and there are only three stone chambers on this side. In the stone room, against the wall, there are still shelves leading to the roof, and the shelves are all kinds of large and small wooden boxes.

There are good sheep fat jade, Hetian jade, as well as Gancheng jade and Suizhou jade. These jade pieces are large and look very well preserved. Moisturizing, transparent, oily, and warm to the touch, people can't put it down.

Suddenly, Lord Wu let out a surprised "huh", "This jade is actually warm?" ”

Xu Erlang and Master Ke looked sideways, and saw that Master Wu was holding a piece of white jade taken out of a mahogany box in his hand. This white jade is moist and transparent, and the white is like condensed oil. And being placed in a mahogany box shows the extraordinaryness of this jade itself. 16k Chinese

The jade itself is not big, at least compared to the jade in this stone room, which is often the size of an adult's head, this piece of white jade, which is only the size of an adult's fist, is really a bit inconspicuous.

But he kept it in the mahogany box on the top layer, which shows its preciousness.

Xu Erlang and Master Ke touched their hands one after another, "It's Nuan Yu, that's right." ”

Warm jade is precious and rare, even in the palace, there is only one piece. That piece of warm jade is now worn on the old lady's neck. It is said that it was because the Queen Mother suffered a crime when she was a concubine in her early years, and she was cold and hard in winter. For this reason, His Majesty specially sent people to search for it, and it took great hardships to find such a piece. And the jade pendant is only the size of a baby's fist, although small but high quality, every summer day the queen mother will take off the jade pendant and hand it over to the imperial doctor "medicinal bath", over time, the jade pendant will gather the characteristics of warm jade and medicinal jade, and become a piece of heavy treasure that Emperor Yunwen is a little greedy.

And now they have this piece in their hands......

Xu Erlang sniffed this piece of warm jade, and then handed it to Master Ke, "Master Ke palms his eyes to see if this is still a piece of medicinal jade." ”

Yaoyu or something, Ren is Master Ke is well-informed, and he can't tell for a while.

However, he has also been summoned by the Queen Mother many times, and he is fortunate to see the piece of Kodyu that the Queen Mother's old man carries around her neck.

Looking at the color of the two pieces of jade, there is indeed some similarity; And smell its taste, hey, I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I ask carefully, there seems to be a light medicinal fragrance on this warm jade.

The smell of the medicine is not strong, but after smelling it, Master Ke's chest tightness and headache caused by staying up late and being tired seem to be soothed.

Master Ke handed it to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu will also take a look." ”

Lord Wu wants to say, he is a big old man, let him look at these precious objects, he can see a yarn?

He didn't have a single piece of jade in his house.

The best jewelry used by his wife and daughter was pure silver, not even a bit of gold, let alone something as valuable as jade. This is the first time in his life that he has used the jade object, he can distinguish between what medicine jade is and what medicine is not jade, isn't it embarrassing for him.

But the thing had already been handed to him, and Lord Wu didn't hand it back immediately. He also followed the example of Xu Erlang and Master Ke, took the jade to the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly. A pleasant medicinal fragrance came to his nose, and Lord Wu felt that his temples were suddenly stable. And his swollen and aching head is much easier at the moment.

Lord Wu grinned, "I don't know if it's medicinal jade, but this jade has a medicinal fragrance, I asked about this smell, and my head is a little clearer." ”

"That's supposed to be Yaoyu, that's right." Master Ke sighed and said, "I didn't expect that what Your Majesty couldn't find with all his national strength was shelved by the family. The depth of the family's heritage and the breadth of its collection are truly breathtaking. ”

Xu Erlang bowed slightly, he also felt that he had underestimated the family.

Not to mention the gold and silver in the first and second layers, only the jade in the third layer and the jade in the fourth layer, these are not things that can be bought with money. The family was able to get so many curiosities, and the energy was indeed beyond his expectations.

With the three-layer Stone King and the four-layer Warm Medicine Jade, the various gems and Dongzhu in the next few large wooden boxes on the fifth layer don't seem to be very surprising.

Everyone soon went up to the sixth floor, which became more and more cramped, with only a stone room, and after the guards searched, there was no secret passage leading to the top. From this, it can be seen that this is already the last layer.

However, this is not surprising to everyone, after all, every floor here is very high and the space is vast. Although the mountain is towering, it becomes narrower and narrower the higher you go, and it is right not to dig any further, both for safety and practical reasons. Otherwise, if a thunderbolt strikes down, it may be able to cut off this hollowed-out mountain.

There was a mechanism around the last stone chamber, a rain of arrows, and the arrows were coated with black poison.

Xu Erlang led people to dodge in a wave, but luckily escaped, and when they entered the stone room, the cold sweat on everyone's bodies soaked their clothes.

No one expected that the ambush on the sixth layer was not manpower, but a rain of arrows. The five floors in front of them had never seen a mechanism, but the sixth floor did, and they directly caught everyone off guard. If it weren't for Xu Erlang and Mohe to help resist, I am afraid that there would be casualties this time.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and in the end they all escaped.

Lord Wu showed a thoughtful expression, "I don't know what good things are hidden in this sixth layer. ”

Master Ke thought of something else, "There are still sixty or seventy people who haven't shown up yet, and I don't know where they are hiding." ”

Xu Erlang said, "There are tunnels under the first floor, and they should all be hidden there." ”

Master Ke clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I forgot that there is another place that I haven't checked." ”

Without saying this, several people entered the only stone chamber with an inquiring mood.

The top of this stone chamber is inlaid with pearls, and the interior of the stone chamber is illuminated.

The stone room turned out to be very ...... Empty. Only a large bookcase was placed against the wall, and one or twenty boxes were placed on the bookcase, and the rest was nothing.

Then this thing is designated in the box, I don't know what it will be.

Xu Erlang, Lord Wu, and Master Ke all imagined, and in the end, for the sake of safety, Xu Erlang took a pair of gloves of unknown material and opened the box.

Xu Erlang took out a page of paper directly, and the words "Saprophytic Muscle Ointment" came into view.

Master Ke and Master Wu both saw it, and both of them let out a sound of surprise.

Xu Erlang took out a few more photos, and saw that they were written on them, "Life Extension Pill", "Heart Protection Pill", and "Fetal Enhancement Pill......

Lijia started with medicine, and there are many kinds of medicines in the pharmacy, and the effects are also diverse. Just like this "fetal enhancement pill", Xu Erlang happened to hear Changle and Jinniang talk about it. It is said that taking this pill for three months can have a high chance of making people conceive twins, or even three children.

Of course, due to various reasons, most of those who are pregnant with three children do not give birth safely. But safe birth of twins abounds.

What kind of medical principle is this, Changle still can't figure it out. However, it does not prevent Changle from respecting the person who created this prescription. is also because of this, Changle still regretted the imprisonment of the Li family at some time.

She still wants to ask someone for advice, but it's not good to go to prison to find someone. is worried that outsiders will say that Lifu has colluded with the second uncle, and then ruin the reputation and layout of the second uncle.
