Chapter 54: Others Don't Deserve It
Du Slender immediately quieted down, not daring to make a sound. Even the cat seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere in the room, and obediently curled up on An Zheng's knees and looked at Gao Sanduo. An Zheng's fingers slid lightly on Shanye's back, and Shanye's squinting expression looked particularly enjoyable.
For a while, the silence in the room made people a little uncomfortable, and even the footsteps of Gao Sanduo walking on the velvet carpet could be heard clearly.
Gao Sanduo walked up to the first woman, stopped, and took a deep breath. Then he stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on the metal cover, the echo was crisp, and the contents didn't seem to be large. The corners of Gao Sanduo's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the solemnity on his face was a little less, as if this first thing did not stump him. He didn't knock again to make sure, but walked directly to the second woman.
There are four in a row, and it seems that the senior is confident. When he got to the fifth woman, he was confronted with a problem, knocking three times in a row, and then almost pressing his ear against the metal cover, still looking a little hesitant. He simply walked to the last one, and knocked twice this time. As I walked back, I stopped again on the fifth, and my fingers tapped a few times on the metal cover, and then listened.
He shook his head back, as if he wasn't sure about the fifth.
After returning to his seat, Gao Sanduo took the pen and paper handed by the maid and wrote down his answer.
"From now on, no talking is allowed. ”
Zhuang Feifei smiled and said: "Even if it's just a small game, let's play it more formally, I can't cheat for personal gain, and you can't help each other." ”
Gao San glanced at An Zheng more, and seemed to be a little worried about whether An Zheng could judge it. An Zheng smiled at him and didn't speak.
Du's thin and nervous palms were covered with sweat, and his toes were supported, and he was trembling slightly. The maid standing beside him smiled and leaned over, took out a handkerchief with a faint fragrance and gently wiped it on his forehead. This gentle movement startled Du Shou Thin, and then he smiled apologetically at the maid, thinking of Zhuang Feifei's words, he didn't dare to disturb the second person.
This maid can be almost one meter seven tall, and her figure is not very thin, but she is well-proportioned, and she belongs to the kind of woman who feels very much at a glance. She put her hand on Du Skinny's shoulder and gently pinched it, and Du Thin snorted from his nose uncontrollably.
This reminded Gao Sanduo of the sound of the male toad and the female toad that Du Shou said just now, and then couldn't help but laugh.
The second person to go up to inspect the treasure was an old man, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and beard. Everyone present seemed to have some respect for him and called him Liu Lao. Liu Lao was supported by a maid and walked up, and then beat and judged one by one. He took less time than he did in his third year of high school, but when he came back, his face was a little confused.
Zhen Zhuangbi was the penultimate to go up, looking confident, in Du Shousian's words, it looked awesome and coaxing. However, this person's attainments in treasure appreciation are indeed very deep, and An Zheng found that his method of beating the metal cover was also very different, he did not hit in one position like the previous person, but knocked each metal cover in a circle.
When it was An Zheng's turn to play, Zhen Zhuangbi snorted coldly when he sat down: "The little fart child who hasn't been weaned yet, also come here to pretend, I'll see how you get by." When the answer is revealed in a while, the bottom is revealed. ”
An Zheng didn't pay attention to him, and didn't even look at him.
Seeing that An Zheng was not provoked by himself, Zhen Zhuangbi rolled his eyes: "People must be self-aware, a little person who is not in the realm of pure ascension, he insists on squeezing into the upper circle, and he is not afraid of squeezing his head and bleeding." At a young age, he was so good at drilling, but he was afraid that his mind would not be right. ”
Du stood up: "Can you shut up!"
Zhen Zhuangbi pouted: "I said mine, what does it matter to you, Mr. Big only said that he was not allowed to talk, and I didn't talk to you, she didn't say that she was not allowed to talk to herself." ”
He deliberately disturbed An Zheng's hearing, and his voice was weird, and his fingers were still tapping on the armrest of the chair.
Gao Sanduo snorted coldly: "If people don't even look down on themselves, then there is no salvation." ”
Zhen Zhuangbi also seemed to feel that this was a loss of identity, and after glaring at Gao Sanduo, he stopped talking, but his fingers were still tapping on the armrest of the chair. This time, even people who were originally close to him felt that he was a little too petty.
Or had the intention to test An Zheng, Zhuang Feifei didn't say anything to stop it, those beautiful eyes have always been on An Zheng, and there is a kind of expectation in his eyes.
The maid in charge of serving An Zheng also looked curious, and couldn't help but lean forward, as if she wanted to try her best to get closer to An Zheng to capture the change in the expression on An Zheng's face.
But in fact, An Zheng's expression didn't change at all.
While others are banging on the metal cover to judge the echo, Anzheng is different. His fingers slid lightly over the metal cover, and the sound was pleasant, not crisp, like the sound of some kind of musical instrument. What's even more surprising is that as his fingers glide over the arc, the sound actually changes in rhythm. An Zheng's time was very fast, at least twice as fast as Zhen Zhuangbi, and then he walked back and sat down, looking light and breezy.
The maid who served him immediately took the pen and paper in her hand and crouched down in front of him. She had a tray in her hand, on which both paper and pen were placed. Her big beautiful eyes stared at An Zheng's face first, and then at An Zheng's hand.
An Zheng wrote quickly, without any hesitation. Du Slender couldn't see what An Zheng wrote, but he was a little surprised when he saw the maid's expression, and then it became incredible.
"Alright. ”
Zhuang Feifei walked to the front: "Everyone has been identified, and everyone already has the answer in their hearts." Before you announce your answers, let me talk about the prizes for the winners of this first round of treasure hunting. ”
She turned around and picked up something from the tray held by the maid behind her.
"It's a small thing, not particularly valuable, but it's special because of the skin care and insect repellent. ”
An Zheng looked up, and Zhuang Feifei was holding a lifelike rose-shaped hairpin in her hand. Especially the flowers, how beautiful and flawless they look. The flowers are only half the size of real roses, and the workmanship is amazing. Although it is not close, everyone is an expert with excellent eyesight, so it can be seen that the petal patterns on the rose hairpin are very fine.
"Only a man who loves his own woman will be willing to buy something like this, which is useless for cultivation but will please the girl. The petals are specially made from the mountain rose, which has shrunk a lot in form, but it can be guaranteed that it will not wither for at least 200 years. The hairpin is jasper, which is considered a small magic weapon. It is summer, and when you go out with this hairpin, you will not be uncomfortable from the sun, and you can also repel mosquitoes. ”
"If you have a beloved woman, send this thing over, and you will definitely get a fragrant kiss in return. ”
An Zheng asked, "Will you really get a fragrant kiss?"
Zhuang Feifei smiled: "Then it depends on whether you have someone to send." ”
She looked around, "Okay, now let's show the answers." ”
With that, she commanded it to be lifted, and the maids immediately removed all the metal covers.
Zhuang Feifei introduced: "These six are all Cuipin's Dan furnaces, but the materials are different. The material of the first piece is spirit pattern iron. ”
She looked at everyone's answers, and the maids held up the paper so she could see it.
"Everybody was right. ”
"The material of the second piece is Dongting Mountain obsidian, which is also right. The third piece is Zhoushan iron mixed with Kirin steel, and the fourth piece can almost be called a white product, but there are some flaws, which are made of striped meteorite iron. The first four pieces, everyone is almost right. Only three or four people guessed wrong, but it was not easy. ”
Zhuang Feifei looked at the fifth piece: "This one, everyone's answer is different. However, it seems that only Vice President Zhen answered correctly. This is the South China Sea pineapple wood, even if it is repaired to burn it, it can't be burned. It's a pity that it is fire-resistant but not water-resistant, so it can only be called cuipin. ”
Zhen Zhuangbi looked proud: "It's just a fluke that I guessed right, because I grew up in the South China Sea and am very familiar with this South China Sea pineapple wood." You're all born in the Northland, so it's understandable that you're not familiar with it. ”
An Zheng shook his head: "Wrong." ”
Zhuang Feifei looked at the answer given by An Zheng, it was the five-hundred-year-old cork of the Dongting Lake cliff.
Zhen Zhuangbi was furious: "Your answer is simply nonsense, who of you doesn't know the difference between pineapple and cork? ”
An Zheng pointed to the Dan furnace and said to Zhuang Feifei: "Your treasure appreciator has lost his eyes, this thing is not a green product, it is a white product, and the first four pieces together are not as valuable as this one." The South China Sea pineapple wood is fire-resistant and water-resistant, so some pills cannot be refined, so they can only be classified as cuipin. However, the cork of the Dongting Lake cliff is different, especially the cork that is more than 500 years old, rooted in the water, and the trunk grows along the gap of the cliff, which is very rare. This thing looks like it has galaxy stripes, but if you look closely, it is a black dot, not a star-like black dot that is characteristic of pineapple wood, and the difference is a little subtle, but the difference is very large. ”
"There is a reincarnation mirror on the cliff of Dongting Lake, and the reflected sunlight is stronger than the real fire, and the cliff is facing the reincarnation mirror, so the things that can survive are amazing. Cork is resistant to fire and water, especially after 500 years, the essence of the tree will appear, so the wood is extremely compact. If this Dan furnace is made of pineapple wood, it is only seven catties and six taels at most, and if it is cork, it is at least nine catties and nine taels. ”
Zhuang Feifei immediately ordered someone to weigh it, and the result surprised everyone. What An Zheng said, there is no deviation at all. The Dan furnace weighs nine catties and nine taels, which is less than ten catties.
Zhen Zhuangbi's face kept changing, and looking at An Zheng's eyes, it seemed that he could eat people.
Zhuang Feifei praised: "Mr. Xiao's stunt of listening to sound and distinguishing objects is amazing. ”
An Zheng shook his head and said nothing. He is not an expert in alchemy, and he is not particularly familiar with refining tools, but there are no people who have more experience in distinguishing the materials of these things than him. When he first joined the Ming Law Division, he was too young to be assigned to work in the treasury. The things that the Ming Law Division collects every day are a huge amount. An Zheng is responsible for recording these things, and there are so many things that he has handled that he can't forget. In the warehouse, An Zheng spent eight years. From the age of fourteen to twenty-two, he was dealing with all kinds of material stuff these days.
Later, because of his familiarity with the materials, he was transferred to the Ming Law Division's Weapons Workshop, specializing in building weapons and armor for the people of the Ming Law Division. However, the rules of the armory workshop are very strict, and An Zheng is only responsible for checking whether the materials are qualified.
In the armory, he worked for another two years. In the past ten years, he has been rigorous and conscientious, nearly 3,000 days and nights, and he has more knowledge of these things in his mind than those so-called treasure connoisseurs.
Zhuang Feifei didn't dare to talk nonsense, just now she said that Zhen Zhuangbi was right, which made her blush slightly.
"This last one seems to be the same answer as Vice President Zhen's answer and the answer of our treasure connoisseur of Jushang Academy. ”
Zhuang Feifei looked at An Zheng, and her eyes were full of questions, meaning should I say that you are wrong?
But An Zheng stood up and walked over slowly to pick up the rose hairpin. Then he moved a small bench and walked over, stepped on the small bench and inserted the rose hairpin into Zhuang Feifei's bun: "It's all wrong, only I am right, so this hairpin belongs to me." It doesn't deserve you, but if someone else takes it, no one deserves it. So I wronged you and let it add a bit of brilliance to you. Wearing it on your head increases its value. ”
Then he pointed to his face: "What about the fragrant kiss that you said?"
Gao Sanduo looked at Du Slender and subconsciously sighed: "This is a master." ”
