Chapter 165: Treasure Hunt Map
The words he had said to her before came to mind.
It's all not very nice to say.
For example, she is not even worthy of being a concubine for him.
She thought she had forgotten everything, but when she set foot here again, she would still remember it vividly in her mind.
She suddenly lost interest and just wanted to go back to her courtyard.
It's just that the next moment, Chu Mu stepped out of the threshold again and took her hand.
"That was before, and now the whole palace, you can go wherever you want." There was a hint of pampering in his tone.
But Ruan Tang only felt sarcastic in his ears.
But when he crossed the threshold with her, she also put away those emotions, after all, she was here to do business.
She just looked at what was in the box and why Shen Qianyi and the others did everything possible to get it.
As for this Ning Wangfu, she will come less in the future, or she will not come.
Ruan Tang suppressed his emotions and followed Chu Mu to his desk.
When he went to get the box, Ruan Tang took a look around the entire study in a timely manner.
His study was simply and elegantly furnished, with a bookcase, a Taishi chair, and several large bookshelves, all of which were filled with books and bamboo slips.
On the walls are several landscape paintings.
Ruan Tang doesn't know Chinese painting, but she also learned to paint in her previous life, but she painted sketches and watercolor paintings, even if they are different styles of painting, but they are all the same in art, and she can see that the person who paints calligraphy and painting has a deep foundation.
When Chu Mu took the box, he saw Ruan Tang's eyes fall on the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and it was not for a moment.
"You know calligraphy and painting?"
Ruan Tang shook his head, "I don't understand, but I've learned a little bit before." ”
"And what do you think of these paintings?"
"It's good, the artistic conception is very good, you can see that the person who paints has a good foundation." At least the foundation is very mature.
"It's all painted by this king, but it's all painted when I was young."
In the past, when his royal brother was still alive, he actually lived quite arbitrarily, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, walking birds and teasing cats.
Later, when the frontier rioted, he gave up these idle jobs and went out with the imperial brother.
After returning from the battle, it didn't take long for his royal brother to die, and after that, he began to assist the new king, and there was no time to get these things.
"Painted when you were young? Then your drawing skills are really good. ”
"That's natural, when I have the opportunity, this king will discuss it with you."
If it weren't for the fact that they had something to do now, he would have itched his hands now, and wanted to draw a picture in front of her, so that she could know what it means to be skilled.
Ruan Tang smiled and said nothing, her painting, it is estimated that when it is painted, he will be amazed.
Her drawing skills are not top-notch, but they are not bad.
Most importantly, her painting style is very different from these.
With this topic revealed, Chu Mu put the box on the bookcase.
Ruan Tang took a closer look.
Ruan Tang didn't know anything like wood, but he could see that the material of the box was quite good.
The box is surrounded by exquisite carvings, and when you get closer, you can smell a faint fragrance.
In addition to the carved pattern, there is also a groove on the top of the box.
Ruan Tang looked at it and saw that the part of this groove was the same as her small longevity lock.
She raised her hand and pulled a string from her neck, and soon a small longevity lock hung from the string and she pulled it out.
Only then did Chu Mu realize that the shape of the longevity lock on her body was consistent with the groove on the box.
In the past, when the two were intimate, he had seen this thing, and asked her why she brought a little baby with the ornaments, and she said that her mother had left it, and he didn't think much about it.
When he saw the box later, he never associated her longevity lock with the box.
Ruan Tang untied the string on the longevity lock before putting it in the groove.
But after she put it down, she waited for a while, but the box didn't respond.
"Those people are talking about the key to this box, why didn't they respond? Are we mistaken? ”
"That's right." Chu Mu said lightly, and then picked up the longevity lock.
The grooves on this box are the same as the shape of this longevity lock, and it is definitely not a coincidence.
It's just that this solution shouldn't be that simple.
He took the longevity lock in his hand and looked at it, not letting go of every detail.
Until he saw a small 'reading' on it, he touched the groove with his hand again.
Eyes lit up.
Then the side with the engraved word is facing down, aligning with a thin mark in the groove, and then put it down and press it hard.
There was a 'click', and one side of the box popped open.
"Opened? How did you get it? Ruan Tang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chu Mu handed her the longevity lock.
"There's a 'read' on one side of this lock, you know?"
Ruan Tang nodded.
"That's the word, it's the groove you correspond."
Ruan Tang touched the word 'reading' with his hand, and suddenly understood.
No wonder they're looking for this one of hers.
It turned out to be a hidden mystery here.
It's just that she can't figure it out, her maternal grandfather of the original owner of this long-life lock was specially built for the mother of the original owner.
So if this lock can open this box, does it mean that this box is actually the grandfather of the original owner?
While Ruan Tang was thinking, Chu Mu had already taken out the contents of the box.
It's something wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Chu Mu spread out the cloth, and inside was a worn-out roll of wool.
Spread out the wool roll, there was a map on it, but it was clear that the map was incomplete, because there was another side missing.
Chu Mu spread it out on the table and looked at it carefully.
"It's supposed to be a treasure map, no wonder they're in such a hurry to get their hands on it."
It has always been rumored that the emperor of the previous dynasty left a large amount of money and weapons, but I don't know where to hide it?
This picture should not be the rumored treasure map that hides the money and weapons of the previous emperor?
"Did you say they already got the missing piece? Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to get this part. ”
"It's possible." Chu Mu responded.
Ruan Tang listened, suddenly leaned on the table, looked at Chu Mu with a serious face and said, "Then do you have a way to get the one in their hands?" ”
Chu Mu raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
He also thought that she would let him protect this one from giving them it, but he didn't expect her to come up with the idea of another one.
"This king does not dare to guarantee it, because now I don't know if it is in their hands, maybe I don't find it, and I don't know."
Ruan Tang tilted his head and thought for a while, "You're right, if I don't find Chunhan and Xia Zhu, we'll also go find the other half." ”
"Why?"
"You say it's a treasure map, a treasure map, there must be countless treasures in it, they are so flocking to it, there are treasures, why should we cheap them? It's better to fall into our pockets than into theirs. ”
"If we really find it, I'm not greedy, I only need thirty percent, and the rest will be yours."
Chu Mu: "......"
