Chapter 105: Auction
Shen Yuzhu picked up the box and played with it carefully.
The size of a palm, made of golden silk nan, is extremely exquisite, and the carved patterns on the outside of the box show a bit of simplicity.
Shen Yuzhu had also seen this box before, and the affairs were complicated at that time, and she didn't look at it carefully.
This time, I was bent on finding all the clues about my mother, and I was extra focused on it.
Sure enough, I found something different on the lid of the box, and the box seemed to be easy to open.
There are mechanisms in the box, and there are some numbers on them, and they are carved into small buttons one by one, like toys such as nine-square grids for children to play with.
Shen Yuzhu was well-informed when she was doing business in her last life and recognized this thing.
This is a trap box that came from the Western Regions and can store important objects.
However, if you want to open it, you need to enter the relevant year, month and date to open it.
Shen Yuzhu was curious, Aunt Zhao had occupied her mother's dowry at the beginning.
She didn't open the box, probably thinking it was just a little toy and didn't take it seriously, right?
Shen Yuzhu thought about it, pressed her mother's birthday, her grandfather's birthday, and even her father's didn't open it, and then her mind moved.
She pressed down on the number of her birth date, and suddenly the box bar opened.
There are actually two pieces of jade pendant inside, one ice jade, and one purple jade.
Especially the purple jade jade pendant, which is actually carved with a claw pattern.
Crests? Shen Yuzhu was dumbfounded.
How is this possible?
Purple jade and claw patterns are only available to the Great Zhou royal family, how did they get into the hands of their mothers?
Shen Yuzhu slowly picked up the jade pendant and looked at it by the faint yellow candlelight.
That piece of purple jade looks extraordinarily transparent, and it is not a vulgar product at first glance, and there are bright yellow tassels tied to the jade pendant.
However, the age has been a long time, and the tassel has faded slightly, and there is no doubt that it must be an object only owned by the royal family.
The jade pendant is simply engraved with a claw pattern, which looks very delicate and domineering.
But there is a seal engraved word under the claw pattern - Zhao!
Shen Yuzhu pinched the jade pendant's hand and shook it fiercely, and the jade pendant in his hand almost fell to the ground.
She was really taken aback, the surname Zhao is the national surname.
This purple jade jade pendant is obviously something of the royal family, but why is it in the hands of the mother.
The mother didn't announce this secret to the public until she died, and she also got a trap box from the Western Regions to seal the secret forever.
But the key to opening the box was the date of her birth.
The more Shen Yuzhu thought about it, the more she couldn't understand, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Could it be that my mother is really dead, and what else is going on during this period?
Who is the noble man in the capital that the crazy Zhao family said?
Everything seems to have no answer in this small Yunzhou City, and she needs to go to the capital to find out the truth.
Shen Yuzhu felt that she was entangled in a mystery, and she could not see any clues and instructions.
She put the purple jade pendant into the box again, and then picked up another piece of the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
This piece of jade is made of ice jade, although it is not as rare as purple jade, but it is also a very valuable jade species.
Facing the light, Shen Yuzhu was shocked.
I couldn't see anything in my hand when I held the light, but when I looked at the candlelight, I saw that there was something scattered in the originally transparent ice jade.
The wisps of white cloud-like lines are still naturally formed.
It's so rare that it's worth a lot of money.
Under the shrunken clouds is engraved a Yao character, which is the mother's maiden name.
The more Shen Yuzhu looked at it, the more frightened she became.
The first piece of purple jade is just that, and this piece of ice jade is afraid that it is priceless.
Moreover, this kind of carving technique that penetrates into the heart of jade, only a legendary jade carver Zhang Zigang can carve inside the jade, and it can not destroy the structure of the jade.
Zhang Zigang only produces one jade item a year.
Countless dignitaries and nobles could hardly buy one of his works even if they spent 10,000 gold, and later offended the royal family and were beheaded, and the stunt of jade carving has been lost since then.
In the previous life, Shen Yuzhu heard people in the rivers and lakes talk about this legendary jade craftsman.
The last work of his life is a piece of ice jade and jade pendant, is it a ...... This one?
Shen Yuzhu suddenly lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant she was holding in her hand, and her heart was suddenly full of doubts.
It is not rare that the purple jade jade pendant is a royal thing, but if this one is really Zhang Zigang's last piece of jade.
Then there is only this one in the world, and the value of this jade pendant is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
She carefully put the two pieces of Kodama back into the box.
As soon as the lid of the box was closed, there was a click, and the box was tightly closed.
Shen Yuzhu was just about to move the box when suddenly there was a sharp pain in the tips of her fingers.
She closed the golden silk nan box, and she didn't want a sharp edge to emerge from the edge of the box.
The edge stabbed directly into her fingers, and the blood dripped onto the pattern on the lid of the box, and a trace of blood seeped into the edge of the box.
The box that had been closed before made a few clicks, and it was wrapped in a layer of dark iron sheets.
Shen Yuzhu didn't expect that the mechanism box she had heard of in her previous life was so powerful.
She hurriedly pressed her birthday date again, but this time the box didn't move.
Shen Yuzhu settled down and stared at the box for a long time.
She suddenly pulled the hairpin from her hair and punctured her fingers, dripping blood onto the pattern on the outside of the box.
Click! It's the sound of a mechanism spinning again!
