Chapter 516: Ancestral Gift
Xiao Han raised a baby fat little face: "What kind of gift?" ”
The old man glanced at the servant who came from the old mansion behind him, and the servant respectfully presented a box.
The old man reached out and took the box, handed it to Xiao Han, and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look." ”
The child lowered his head and fiddled with the box, which was made of fine sandalwood, and was carved with a pattern of spreading its wings, which had been passed down for many generations, and the corners of the box were faintly shining with the peculiar luster of wood oil due to the passage of time. The child turned the box over and over again and studied it for a long time: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, there is no lock." How to open? ”
"I'm going to ask you about this." The old man was still smiling, but there was a faint light in the depths of his eyes, "Only by opening the box can you get the gift inside." ”
Xiao Han looked at him as if he didn't understand, lowered his head for the gift, and went to fight for the box again.
Su Xingyu on the side was also curious, and he didn't know what was in the box, which could make people such a treasure.
Lu Shifeng, who was standing not far from them, looking at his grandchildren from beginning to end but not saying a word, couldn't help but open his mouth at this time: "Grandfather, that's mine." He still remembered that this box was placed in his study in the old mansion, why didn't he go back for a few days, and the box was brought out by the old man and turned into a gift for his son?!
This old man, it is really convenient to borrow flowers and offer Buddha!
The old man glanced at him unhurriedly, not at all guilty: "Do you still know that things are in your place?" I hid it and didn't take it out to Xiaohan until now, what kind of heart does Ann have? The heir of my Lu family can't raise you in vain, why don't you have a sense of crisis at all, this is Pei Ziheng who is not married yet, and when he gets married in the future, the children will surpass you in a minute? ”
Lu Shifeng: "......"
Su Xingyu pursed her lips and snickered beside her, she really felt that Lu Shifeng was sometimes pitiful, he was compared to adulthood since he was a child, and even Pei Ziheng from the next door was not married and could be pulled out as an imaginary enemy. However, after snickering, she was vigilant, Lu Shifeng was taught by the old man, and he was as cold and impersonal as an iceberg, so she didn't want her Xiaohan to become like that.
"What's in the box?" So she asked.
The old man said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, it's a good thing." ”
Where can Su Xingyu rest assured? couldn't help but glance at Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng said succinctly: "Family heirloom." ”
"Is it a baby?" The young Xiao Han was struggling with the box, listening to the conversation of several adults with his ears open, and at this time he raised his head and interjected with bright eyes.
"If you open it and take a look, you'll know." Lu Shifeng didn't say much to his son.
So the little one went on with his eyes shining brightly, and after a few minutes he saw that he had somehow loosened the box, and a shaded lid opened to reveal its contents.
"Wow! What a beautiful little tiger! Xiao Han exclaimed happily.
In the quaint sandalwood box, there is a little tiger carved from black jade, the size of a baby's fist, the carving is exquisite, lifelike, especially a pair of eyes are extremely smart, when Xiao Han looks at it, it feels as if the little tiger is also looking at himself.
"It's so cute." Xiao Han said happily, "Thank you, grandpa!" ”
The old man's face smiled like a flower.
He turned his head and didn't forget to spur Lu Shifeng: "Shi Feng, your son seems to be better than you." It took you half an hour to open this box, Xiaohan, less than ten minutes! "This box was handed down by the Lu family's ancestors, and it has a very clever mechanism, and ordinary children may not be able to open it even if it takes several days. And this box has thus become one of the initial criteria for testing the qualifications of the heirs of the Lu family, to be the heir of the Lu family, you must know a lot of knowledge about instrument assembly, even if you are not proficient, but you must be able to.
And Xiaohan did a great job.
Lu Shifeng didn't refute his grandfather's words, in fact, he was very surprised, Xiao Han's hands-on ability has always been weak, even in the secret warehouse in the backyard of this villa, it would take him a long time to open a lock. It would not be surprising if this box was opened so quickly by Xiao Jue today, but it would be a big surprise if it was replaced by Xiao Han.
"How did you do that?" He asked Xiaohan.
Xiao Han blinked a pair of watery eyes and said, "I don't know, I opened it by itself while playing with it." ”
Playing with ......
Playing with ......
I opened it myself......
Lu Shifeng was speechless, what kind of routine is this? This box is definitely not something that ordinary children can open crookedly while playing, otherwise it would not be used as the assessment standard for the little heir of the Lu family. There was once a child who spent a month fiddling with it every day, but he couldn't open it, and he was rumored to be a laughing stock.
The old man was also incredulous, glaring and asking, "Did you stumble into it by mistake?" Didn't find the law of the box, and didn't summarize the algorithm? ”
"Regularity...... What is ......?" asked Xiao Han weakly.
The old man went crazy, took the box from Xiao Han's hand, closed it again, twisted the mechanism a few times, disrupted it, and then handed it to Xiao Han: "You open it again." ”
Xiao Han fiddled for a while this time, still looking concentrated, but he still couldn't open it after a few minutes.
The old man's face was very weird, and he said, how can there be a monster that can open this box in a few minutes? It took him an hour, no, 59 minutes and 47 seconds! His grandson Lu Shifeng is most proud of the fact that he opened the box in half an hour and accurately listed the algorithm, which can be called the genius of the Lu family.
Although he scolded Lu Shifeng for driving too slowly, he was actually very, very proud of Lu Shifeng in his heart.
originally thought that Lu Shifeng's son was even more powerful, but who knew that he was really just crooked?
The old man's mood was as if he had fallen from heaven to the bottom.
Xiao Han worked hard to open and open, open and open, a little face was engrossed, and there was no embarrassment or impatience at all.
A group of adults silently watched him open and open.
Ten minutes passed......
Twenty minutes passed......
Seeing that Xiao Han was about to surpass Lu Shifeng's half an hour, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Han, can you do it, there will be no reward for more than half an hour." ”
"Isn't the little tiger in the box just a reward?" The child asked innocently.
"Little Tiger is," the old man explained to him, "but the best record of our Lu family opening the box before was set by your father, half an hour, if you can break the record, there will be an additional reward." ”
"An extra bonus?" Xiao Han's eyes lit up, "What is it?" ”
