In the past two days in Qingtong Lane, the weather has been particularly abnormal, the weather forecast has always said that it will be cloudy, in fact, the heavy rain is pouring thunder and lightning constantly, and it is only in early autumn that thunderstorms and hailstones are swarmed up, Lu Xiaoqi looked out the window and shook his head inexplicably:

"Heavenly Court has paid salaries? All of them are so diligent! ”

He didn't care who was here to survive, he looked at the few sets of dry clothes left in the closet.

The clothes haven't dried in the room on the second floor, and if this continues, he won't have any underwear to wear. Su Lai once taught him a way to dry wet clothes quickly: put the clothes in a plastic bag and wrap them, then stuff the hair dryer into the plastic bag and keep blowing, and soon the clothes will dry.

It's a great idea, if he has a hair dryer.

In his spare time, he would grab the key to the Ferrari and ride his bicycle to a distant nightclub. But in the past few days, the sky has been dug into a hole, and with such a heavy rain, it will become a soup chicken when you ride it, not handsome.

Lu Xiaoqi was thinking about whether to get a poncho on credit, and the new mobile phone in his pocket rang just as he was about to go out. Lu Xiaoqi wondered that he didn't plan to use this mobile phone, and no one had given the number, except for Su Laishi.

As soon as he answered, sure enough, it was the sound of a stone, and the girl must have eaten skewers in her mouth, spicy hiss, and vaguely threw him a good news: It's time for work!

Hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoqi chuckled, the poor cousin went to the rich cousin, just like attending the class reunion after work, although Lao Hou is calm and does not show off his wealth, with Huang Fuzhuyu in front, he is also embarrassed to be too cold, these days must be full of energy to entertain Su Laishi's cousin, which makes Su Lai happy when he comes, and the work in the industry is pushed to himself, this is left in the past, don't think about it, it's good not to stop it.

It's nice to do work on a rainy day.

According to the phone number given to him when Su Lai, the number showed that it was also Henan, the man called himself Zhong Qi, spoke slowly, concisely, and sounded like a cultural person, which meant asking him to help make a piece of jade, which must be handmade.

"Oh?" Lu Xiaoqi was puzzled, thinking that although he and Su Lai knew how to carve, but after all, they were not specialized, but they were all entry-level and passable, and now CNC technology is powerful, and many jade carving factories use CNC + hand repair to do work, which is economical and efficient, and his craftsmanship is not necessarily comparable to that semi-artificial. Besides, if you must be a pure handicraft of exquisite craftsmanship, it is not difficult to make an appointment with the award-winning master-level carvers outside, especially in Nanyang, Henan, where many good jade carvers are only priced.

Could it be that Zhong Qi wants the horses to run and wants the horses not to eat grass, and refuses to make money?

The price quoted on the other end of the phone: "After the deed is completed, we will pay 5,000 yuan." ”

Lu Xiaoqi smiled, 5,000 yuan is a lot, this year, the CNC machine carving semi-manual 200 starts, the pure manual is only 1000 starts, the master worker is 3000 starts, this opening will give 5000, if it is just a small jade pendant, it is definitely a beauty difference, but now Su Lai is probably too fat to meat, looking at the oil and water of Lao Hou, he can't catch up with this work.

Lu Xiaoqi said the question in his heart, and asked him why he was willing to seek the near and far away and not find a master worker in Nanyang.

The other man gently explained: "I am Lao Hou's old acquaintance, and a little brother next to him recommended you to me, and I also inquired with your peers over there, and they all said that Mr. Lu is not an ordinary businessman." Very learned. ”

These words came to an abrupt halt with a few meanings, and Lu Xiaoqi didn't ask any more questions, but only asked him to send the drawings to see if he could do it first.

Soon an MMS message came, and Lu Xiaoqi took a look at it, it was a professional and meticulous pencil drawing, and all the dimensions were there, but isn't this the most ordinary dragon and phoenix pendant?

A round jade jue, made into the style of Tai Chi, the left is a dragon, the right is a phoenix, can be divided into two pieces, can also be put together, this is the style that arose in the Later Han Dynasty, often used as a token of love between nobles, dowry gifts.

Lu Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, making sure that it was not an old jade new worker, but indeed a genuine ancient jade style.

Even so, the antique technique is not difficult, and when it comes to the knife, it is not too difficult to be cautious and not in a hurry to achieve it.

Lu Xiaoqi immediately replied with a call: "I took this order, and I made sure that it was tightly matched, but this is not a piece of jade but two, I don't charge double, 8000 is always wanted." You provide the materials, and the wages are settled first, this is the rule of the trade. ”

After hesitating for a moment, he agreed to him and made a request at the same time, half of the salary should be paid first, and half of it would be paid when it was done, Lu Xiaoqi agreed, thinking that it would not be too late to go to Luoyang to do something after making this piece of jade.

Soon, the jade material was sent, and Lu Xiaoqi took it and touched it, which was even more strange.

The white jade material of the mountains and rivers is like the jade material of Tiemu County, which is white but not moist, fine but not greasy.

This Zhong Qi spent 8,000 yuan just to carve an ordinary white jade worth seven or eight hundred yuan? Why did he do such a stupid thing that couldn't be expected.

Unless......

Lu Xiaoqi shook his head, it was none of his business, he just had to send it back, collect the money in a chic manner and pay off the debts happily, so as to show his true colors as a god of wealth.

He worked hard behind closed doors, from surveying to drawing to linear cutting, to rough carving and finishing, grinding and polishing, except for borrowing tools from the office, all by himself, and it took two days to complete the task.

After sending the picture, the other party checked it and didn't say anything, just asked him to send it quickly, and as long as he received it, he would give money.

Lu Xiaoqi sent an urgent item without delay, and finally waited until the logistics showed that the other party had signed for it, and he hurriedly collected the other half of the payment, but Zhong Qi said slowly: "It's okay to do it, but the money can't be paid for the time being." ”

Lu Xiaoqi was furious when he heard this tone, this naked liar deceived your grandfather, and immediately threatened him: "To be a jade circle, but you also rely on your face to eat, you don't care about this single master, I'm afraid that you won't be able to mix in the future!" ”

Zhong Qi was anxious when he heard him, and he was speechless for a long time and said helplessly: "Mr. Lu is afraid that he has misunderstood, the money is to be given, and I am afraid that he will have to wait for the problem to be solved before he has the funds." ”

Lu Xiaoqi suddenly brightened: "You jade, have you done it more than once?" ”

The voice on the other side of the phone became so excited that he became anxious: "Mr. Lu, how do you know?" Looks like I've found the right person! ”

Lu Xiaoqi said calmly: "Let the car pick me up, I'll take a look, the problem is solved, you have to give money!" ”

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Lu Xiaoqi hung up the phone and snorted in his nose: "The person who can rely on my account has not been born yet!" ”

To say that the other party was even more anxious than Lu Xiaoqi, less than half an hour after hanging up the phone, a business car stopped at the door of Shanyu's house, Lu Xiaoqi's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that the pass in the car belonged to the local archaeological research institute. It seems that it is a vehicle seconded by a relationship, and the other party has a background.

After staggering for a long time, Lu Xiaoqi was woken up in his sleep, and his stomach was slowly held down by a familiar voice, which was Zhong Qi's voice, he folded his hands in front of him, and looked at the sleepy-eyed fried Lu Xiaoqi with a smile.

Lu Xiaoqi tilted his head and looked fixedly, confirming that the polite half-hundred old man standing in front of him was Zhong Qi, who was in debt, and that expression told Lu Xiaoqi a message: he was tricked by this old man, and 4,000 yuan made him go on a business.

He poured out mineral water to wipe his face, jumped out of the car in an unstoppable position, and almost slipped and fell.

Holding on to the car door, Lu Xiaoqi realized that he had arrived at a remote construction site, which was muddy everywhere.

The heart that was about to quarrel with someone was immediately put away, and he noticed the corner of the construction site that was fenced behind Zhong Qi, and sneered.

This is obviously a real estate project that has just started construction, but this boss was unlucky, dug down with a shovel, dug an ancient tomb out, and was found before he had time to bury it secretly, and the work was completely stopped. If the conservation archaeological excavation is not completed, the site will have to be moved and the bottom will be lost.

Zhong Qi invited him into the shed, and Lu Xiaoqi saw a table full of dragons and phoenixes, including wood, gold, silver, and jade, all of which were exquisitely crafted, if it weren't for the different materials, he couldn't tell which piece came from him.

"I know that what you want is not jade, but a key." Lu Xiaoqi stared at the dragon and phoenix pendant on the table, and nodded in admiration.

He also took such a list before, the other party has tomb robbers, there is a plan to adjust the contract, he knows it in his heart, and he never declares it. This time, it seems to be a fair use.

Zhong Qi's face was overjoyed, and several experts discussed it and decided to take Lu Xiaoqi down to the tomb to see.

A group of people surrounded him, and Zhong Qi slowly explained the situation to him, it turned out that the place where he was now was Miaozhuang in Henan, on the edge of a small town in the easternmost part. Although Lu Xiaoqi never robbed the tomb, he had some understanding of the tomb system, and looked around, this tomb is old, the surface building has long been gone, the mausoleum is simple, the tomb door is tall, the inside is made of bricks, and there are main rooms and side rooms in the front, middle and back, which is actually a royal tomb.

A history of Henan, half of the history of China, just dig it is the tomb of the king, the cow.

Entering the main room, there are many terracotta figurines that are being transferred, and there are carved paintings on the wall, Lu Xiaoqi can vaguely see that the life of drinking, sword dancing, marriage, and death is in order. According to the rules, the owner of this tomb must be a prince, and if it is like the carved paintings on the wall, he is a talented man who died young.

A huge sarcophagus, about four times the size of an ordinary coffin, rested in the middle of the main burial chamber, announcing the status of the lord.

Zhong Qi smiled bitterly: "I can't lift it, I can't pry it open, there is a mechanism, I don't dare to cut it." ”

Lu Xiaoqi began to have a good impression of Zhong Qi, this person spoke softly and treated people politely, but none of them were nonsense. Temper against him.

Half to the thing and half to the person, Lu Xiaoqi wanted to help him.

He pointed to the top side of the coffin: "That jade jue pattern, you are from here to rubbing?" ”

There is no need to answer this question, Lu Xiaoqi has already determined that this coffin does have a mechanism inside, and the pattern that is sunken in it is the style of the dragon and phoenix. The researchers of the archaeological team are not wine bags and rice bags, they have already thought of this, and they have made so many dragons and phoenixes in order to find a key that can open the coffin. The key must be tightly sealed, and there must be no error, otherwise it will be a thousand miles away.

Obviously, this method did not succeed, they were already wondering if they were thinking in the wrong direction, and they found Lu Xiaoqi for the last time, and found that Lu Xiaoqi was more interesting than others, please come and study maybe another village.

"The money allocated for the key is no longer enough, and I dare not embezzle other funds without authorization, if Mr. Lu can help with this, the money will naturally be there!"

Lu Xiaoqi approached to see the pattern, and slowly spread out his palm to touch it.

The body of the sarcophagus shook slightly, Lu Xiaoqi's face changed, and the others were shocked!
