Chapter 14 Qiankun Lock
"Poof~" Old Man Cao listened to Gu Xiangyang's words, and a sip of tea squirted out directly, is this kid an idiot?
"Ahem, I'm asking you to identify the provenance of these things, that is, the age and value." Old Man Cao took the handkerchief from Fu Bo's hand and wiped the water stains on his mouth.
"Oh, I said it earlier." Gu Xiangyang muttered.
"I don't know why this girl Zhihui is looking for you to come over, you'd better show your real skills, our Cao family doesn't raise waste people."
Old Man Cao picked up the tea bowl again and took a sip of tea, his words were flat, but full of threats.
Gu Xiangyang began to be inexplicably nervous when he heard this, this Nima is not good, it is estimated that Fu Bo will immediately make himself into fertilizer.
After settling down, Gu Xiangyang silently recited in his heart: "My life depends on you, the left hand of God, you must not let me down." Buddha bless, God bless, Taishang Laojun also bless me. God's Left Hand Opens! ”
Stretching out his hand, Gu Xiangyang was the first to touch those stones, these stones have experience in successful identification for Gu Xiangyang, it should not be difficult.
"There is agate in this stone, and the quality should be considered excellent, it is estimated to be worth 20,000."
"There is also this piece of seed material with Tianhuang in it, which is not small, but it is cracked, and it is estimated to be worth about 700,000."
"This piece is a jadeite rough stone, from the Hpakant field area of Myanmar, although it is the material of the bean green seed, but the foundation is good, close to the ice species of the glass species, if you slowly grind the skin, then you don't need to carve, it is directly a string of fresh grapes. The estimate is between two million and two and a half million. ”
Gu Xiangyang said to himself, not noticing that Old Man Cao was already standing behind him, his face was full of incredulity, is this kid a fairy? How can you tell the secret of these stones with a gentle touch of your hand?
When Gu Xiangyang finished identifying these stones, Old Man Cao nodded at Fu Bo.
Fauber walked to a stone that had just been identified, raised a jet-black short sword that he held in his hand at some point, and then disappeared.
"Eh, Nima, this is too violent, isn't it? Is this cutting rough or peeling potatoes? Gu Xiangyang muttered in his heart.
I saw Fauber's hands flying up and down, and each time he would bring down pieces of stone chips from the rough stone, as fast as if he were peeling a potato with a peeler.
"You go ahead and identify other things, you don't have to worry about it here." Old Man Cao's tone of speech to Gu Xiangyang was obviously much softer, although it was still a commanding tone.
"Uh, okay." Gu Xiangyang casually picked up a wooden box on the side and took it in his hand.
I couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".
Although Gu Xiangyang's voice was not loud, he was really heard by the old man Cao on the side.
Seeing that Gu Xiangyang was just holding this Qing Dynasty rosewood box in a daze, Old Man Cao couldn't help but lean over curiously and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Fake, oh no, the box is from the Qing Dynasty, but there seems to be something in it, it is estimated that it was something from before the Qing Dynasty." Gu Xiangyang handed the wooden box in his hand to Old Man Cao, but he was a little stunned.
This god's left hand seemed to be able to identify everything, and Gu Xiangyang found that this thing was like a question and answer machine.
For example, just now, after the identification information was given to Gu Xiangyang, Gu Xiangyang thought in his heart: "How to take out the things in this?" ”
God's left hand actually told him that there was a mechanism inside, and the only way to remove the item was to crack the mechanism, and then a mess of things was reported.
Although Gu Xiangyang basically didn't understand the rest except for the name of this mechanism, which was "Qiankun Lock", he was still greatly shocked by the magic of God's left hand.
"Xiaotani, what's in here? How do you know? Old Man Cao put the wooden box in his hand and weighed it carefully, and after checking it over and over again, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he simply asked Gu Xiangyang.
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that there's something hidden under this wooden box."
Gu Xiangyang motioned to Old Man Cao to hand over the wooden box to him, lifted the lid of the box and pointed to the bottom of the box and continued: "You see that there are a lot of wires in the cracks in the wood, right?" ”
Old Man Cao nodded and replied: "I have seen this a long time ago, according to my estimate, this box originally had a pattern of metal wire weaving, and after a long time of damage, these embedded metal wires were left. ”
"Hehe, as far as I know, this is a kind of mechanism, called Qiankun Lock. These wires are the lockpicking mechanisms. ”
"Oh? Qiankun lock? Why haven't I heard of it? Can you open it? ”
Old man Cao is very incomprehensible, from his own generation, his family can be traced back to the Later Han Dynasty, and the family inheritance is still a long history, and the inheritance has not been broken, but why haven't you heard of the Qiankun lock?
"Eh, this old man, you should know about Luban lock, right? This is the evolved version of the Luban lock. This Qiankun lock existed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and in the early Qing Dynasty. From that time on, it was generally used for the transmission of important royal letters and secret letters. As for whether it can be opened, I can't help it now, but I advise you, don't think about dismantling it, otherwise everything inside will be destroyed. ”
"Oh, Fukuji, you give this to Da Shou and let him put it away carefully." Old Man Cao commanded Fu Bo beside him.
Fauber agreed, took the box, and turned to leave.
Gu Xiangyang didn't care, then picked up a porcelain bowl on the shelf, and after a while, he put it back and muttered: "This is a modern imitation, not worth much." ”
"Hehe, okay, okay, stop, you've passed." Old Man Cao is now smiling all over his face, as if he has picked up a treasure.
No wonder Zhihui is reluctant to marry the Liu family, if she meets Gu Xiangyang's baby, she won't consider other candidates, this girl's vision is really poisonous.
Well, Mr. Cao has completely distorted the relationship between the two, which is happier than the mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law.
led Gu Xiangyang back to the sofa, and his own maid brought tea.
Drinking tea, Mr. Cao began to ask questions in a streamlined manner.
Where are you from? How old are you? How did you meet Zhihui? Where does the family live? Who else is in the family.....
Okay, this time Gu Xiangyang answered with sweat on his forehead, this old man usually doesn't talk to him, right? Is it okay to ask about the whole chatter plus a bag?
Of course, this is just that Old Man Cao deliberately found something to ease the atmosphere, and for the kid that his granddaughter found back, Old Man Cao checked him out. Mr. Cao firmly believes in an iron law of communication, that is, chatting. When we talk enough, the gap between people disappears.
But in this way, it made Gu Xiangyang extremely uncomfortable, is this a chat? Is this a whole father-in-law choosing a son-in-law to check the family background?
