Chapter 52 Verification
Steward Lin's face was gloomy, he looked at the young man, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, you know this matter, I know, I won't publicize it afterwards." ”
The young man said: "Actually, in addition to making genuine products, in general, there are some leftover scraps, and they will make some things inferior to the original, but no one knows this secret......
Steward Lin didn't ask him how he knew the secret of the Ghost Workshop, he said with a sinking face: "You mean, my thing, it's a defective product?" ”
The young man smiled and said: "I can't say that, it's just that these abacus beads made of black jade are not the best jade in the center of the original jade, the best jade is warm to the touch, without sweating, hitting the edge of the wooden frame, not only has the sound of gold and stone, but also, like a xylophone percussion, it is extremely beautiful......."
Steward Lin's face was like the bottom of a pot, and he suppressed his anger and said, "What evidence is there to prove that this is a defective product?" ”
A person who devalues his precious collection like this, no one will feel good in his heart, Steward Lin's eyes showed a bright light, it seems that if the young man can't say a way, Steward Lin will not let him feel good.
The young man seemed to deeply regret his gaffe, and didn't want to say it, but he looked at the appearance of the housekeeper Wanglin, if he didn't say it today, he probably couldn't get out of this room completely, although the official position of the housekeeper of the princess's mansion was not big, but just find an excuse to teach him a lesson, it was still a piece of cake, it seemed that the young man was sleek by nature, looked at the housekeeper Wanglin, smiled bitterly, and felt that he was too talkative, he said: "Actually, it's nothing, the owner of the ghost workshop is still quite trustworthy in business, no matter what it is, He must have engraved a 'positive' character in the place where the buyer can't see the genuine product, and he must have engraved a 'second' character for the next variety. Of course, this engraving is a place that is generally difficult for buyers to find......"
When Steward Lin heard him say this, he was skeptical, and he asked, "Since it is a place where buyers can't see, how can you see it?" ”
The young man smiled: "Don't hide it from Steward Lin, I like to read some anecdotal ancient books since I was a child, but I have found a way, of course, I must know the general direction of the lettering." Let me take a look, this abacus, the most precious, I'm afraid is these abacus beads, presumably the owner of the ghost workshop will engrave words on each abacus beads, and the place where the lettering, I think, must be a place that our vision can't reach......"
Steward Lin was originally a smart person, and after being reminded by him, he nodded and said, "Well, if you want to engrave words, you must engrave them in the middle of the hole wall of the bead hole, where no one can see ......"
The young man smiled and said smugly, "But I have a way to let people see ...... there."
Steward Lin looked at him and said, "I have also used a bronze mirror to shine, but I still can't see ......."
It seems that before Steward Lin bought this thing, he must have carefully checked it, but I am afraid that this abacus will not be necessary for him to open and check.
The young man nodded and said, "The mirror must be used, but there must be a way......
Steward Lin saw that he was so sure of him, his heart was even more troubled, he was originally an extremely conceited person, and he came to the princess's mansion to be a housekeeper under impatience, thinking about it, he might have planted a big heel, and there was another big trouble waiting for him to deal with, his eyes were even more gloomy, and he secretly decided that if this young man couldn't say anything, he would have to slap the boss in the face......
The young man said, "Steward Lin, since I told this secret today, if I don't give you an explanation, I'm afraid you won't let me go......"
Steward Lin was shocked by this young man's heartbreak, and thought, this young man is also interesting, he knows what kind of place the princess's mansion is, can people come and talk nonsense casually?
The young man looked at the light in the room, and then looked at the silent and gloomy housekeeper Lin, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, so prepare a large bucket of water and put it in the garden where the sun can see it, and make it clear and ......clear."
As soon as Steward Lin raised his hand, the frightened little slave who was waiting next to him hurriedly ran out to prepare, it seemed that Steward Lin had a lot of prestige in the princess's mansion, and as soon as his face sank, the people below were frightened......
After a while, the little slave entered the house and told him that the water was ready, and the young man walked out of the house with Steward Lin, standing next to the bucket of water, the young man was not from the princess's mansion, and the majesty of Steward Lin had no effect on him, he said with a smile: "Steward Lin, look, or are you old and do not take a bead down?" ”
Steward Lin nodded, quickly removed the frame of the abacus, unloaded a bead, and handed it to the young man.
The young man put the beads in the water, and asked people to take a bronze mirror, let the little slave stand in the direction, and slowly adjust the direction of the beads in the water, the sun shines brightly on the water, and also shoots on the beads through the water, the young man takes out a transparent oval crystal from his arms, puts it between the bronze mirror and the beads, and slowly adjusts the beads......
Finally, when adjusted to a direction, the bronze mirror reflects the abacus on the cave wall, showing a word, although the bronze mirror reflects the things are not too clear, but this abacus does not know why, reflected in the copper mirror, it has become a lot larger, but it can be clearly seen that the word engraved on the cave wall is a 'time' word.
Steward Lin's face was pale, although the method used by young people was a bit inexplicable, he had never seen it, but he knew that he was deceived by the people of the ghost workshop, thinking about the abacus that he was proud of, and the etiquette was a treasure, it was actually a defective product, and he kept showing off in front of people, he thought, why is there no hole in the ground?
Steward Lin was feeling that there was no place to put his old face, and wanted to find a place to get in, the young man picked up the beads from the water, handed them to Steward Lin, and said: "The object is placed in the water, under the bright sunlight, some corners that are not seen can be seen, in fact, this abacus can be regarded as a top grade, although it is a little worse than the first batch of three, the price is fair, when you buy it, the boss must not care that you want so much money, and, although the quality is a little worse, as far as I know, even this kind of abacus, People are rushing to ask for it, there are only two in total, I want to buy one, but I haven't bought it yet......"
After speaking, he reluctantly looked at the abacus beads in Steward Lin's hand, Steward Lin hurriedly picked up the abacus beads, and had a little smile on his face, he knew that although the owner of the ghost workshop did not tell him the real situation, but indeed, people do business fairly, and the price is much cheaper, besides, if he really returns this abacus, there may be how many people rush to ask for it, but no, there is a ...... in front of him
Steward Lin's mood fluctuated greatly, and now he finally fell on the ground, with a smile on his face, and he felt that this young man was very suitable for me, and in my heart I had already attracted him to a friend who had forgotten his years......
