While the cabinet had been moved, Liu Guangqi accompanied Qin Huairu to move all the valuable things in the house into the secret room. Although Qin Huairu hid some of them, Liu Guangqi pretended not to see them. After all, no one had any private money.
After finishing the work, both of them were sweating. After all, it was already July, and the weather was getting hotter. The highest temperature during the day was as high as 40 degrees, and it was dry and hot. It was so hot that even the leaders were worried. You have to run to Beidaihe to calm down and work.
Although it's a little cooler at night, it's still 30 degrees below zero. It's still unbearable. It doesn't help to feel calm and naturally cool. The slightest movement makes me sweat.
Although there are a lot of air conditioners and fans in Liu Guangqi's space, they cannot be taken out at all and can only be left in the space to serve as a wall for rabbits. In fact, let alone air conditioners, it would be nice to have an electric fan at home these days.
Bai Mei's room did have an honest fan. In the days before Qin Huiru came, the three of them had been huddled together and falling asleep with the fan on.
It was really too hot. After staying in this era for two years, Liu Guangqi finally understood why the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had to go to Chengde to escape the summer heat.
In order to combat the heat, Liu Guangqi had not thought of ways. He even thought about making his own Indian air conditioner, but he was killed because of the lack of materials. Where could Liu Guangqi get plastic bottles in this day and age? If the plastic bottles could be taken out, he would simply take out the air conditioner fan. Come out and forget it.
After dragging Qin Huairu to the bathroom and taking a bath for two, the heat on her body finally dissipated. Lying on the canopy bed of the Ming Dynasty, hugging Qin Huairu's soft and soft body, and enjoying Qin Huairu's fan service, Liu Guangqi fell into a dreamland while being fascinated by the lake.
Although he fell asleep quickly, he woke up quickly. Liu Guangqi, who couldn't stand the heat in the middle of the night, moved Qin Huairu's arm away from him and sat up from the bed.
"What to do"
Qin Huairu who was pushed away asked with a cry.
"pee"
After Liu Guangqi came outside, he first went to the bathroom to urinate, and when he came out, he held the teapot on the table and drank a sip. Liu Guangqi didn't care whether he was healthy or not, and wanted to cool down first.
"belch"
After drinking half a bottle of cold water, the heat in Liu Guangqi's body finally subsided a little. After burping, Liu Guangqi sat on a chair and fanned with dull eyes.
It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the statue of Guan Gong on the side that Liu Guangqi's eyes finally glowed a little.
Putting the folding fan aside, Liu Guangqi picked up the statue of Guan Gong again.
"Isn't that wrong?"
The more Liu Guangqi looked at it, the more something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. This feeling was like answering the questions on his own during an exam, but he always felt that he didn't write it correctly. As for the step he didn't write correctly, I'm sorry, I don't know.
After looking over and over for a long time, just when Liu Guangqi was about to give up, he suddenly saw the huanghuali table under his arm. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he realized something was wrong.
Liu Guangqi became energetic in an instant. He ran to the study room on the second floor with the statue of Guan Gong in his hand. After replacing the desk lamp with a futuristic LED bulb, Liu Guangqi observed the wood grain trend of the statue of Guan Gong through the light. Finally, He discovered that there was something wrong with the base. The texture of the body and the bottom plate did not match, which meant that the Guan Gong statue was not made of a whole piece of wood. In other words, there was probably something hidden in the Guan Gong's belly.
With full expectations, Liu Guangqi picked up Guan Gong and shook it to his ear. Sure enough, a slight knocking sound came from it. Although the sound was small, it was like thunder to Liu Guangqi. This sound directly proved Liu Guangqi's suspicion.
Holding back his excitement, Liu Guangqi looked at the base carefully. With the help of a magnifying glass, a tiny crack appeared in front of Liu Guangqi's eyes five millimeters from the edge of the base.
Liu Guangqi smiled when he saw the crack. The person who made this mechanism was very smart. He took out the entire base of the Guan Gong statue instead of making a hole in the middle. This way ordinary people can't see it. Only a few Only those who have noticed that the texture of the top of the wood does not match the texture of the base.
With this discovery, Liu Guangqi didn't even plan to sleep. He took out a knife and scraped the Guan Gong statue to its base. Soon the putty on the base was scraped away, and the traces of splicing were also exposed.
Liu Guangqi inserted the tip of the knife into the gap and tapped it gently, and the base to the cover was lifted up.
As the cover was taken away, a small hole ten centimeters long and four centimeters wide appeared in front of Liu Guangqi's eyes.
There is something wrapped in red cloth hidden in the hole. It looks like it should be a small box. Liu Guangqi took the statue of Guan Gong and knocked it gently on his hand, and the thing wrapped in the red envelope fell directly into Liu Guangqi's hand.
Sure enough, just as Liu Guangqi thought, what was wrapped in red cloth was a small box with a length of ten centimeters and a width of ten centimeters. The material of the small box was very particular, and it was actually made of extremely precious red sandalwood.
To be able to use such precious materials as a container, one can imagine how precious the things inside are.
Liu Guangqi thought for a long time before opening it, but he couldn't figure out what was in such a small box.
After opening it again, looking at the contents inside, Liu Guangqi first showed a look of realization, and then took a breath of cold air. There are six jade thumb rings in the box. The most important thing is that the colors of these six jade thumb rings are different, namely purple, white, yellow, green, red and black.
After calming down his excitement, Liu Guangqi first picked up the white jade ring. The texture was fine and moist, the surface was shiny, and the color was as pure as a piece of suet. It was obvious that the material of this ring was the legendary Hetian mutton-fat jade.
After confirming the material of the ring, Liu Guangqi looked at it again. The origin of the ring was an orchid carved on the outside of the ring, and these few lines of small words were engraved on the edge of the orchid.
Imperial orchid poem
To wear the general will bring forth grain, and the fragrance will not change.
Assuming that it is appropriate to be happy, Xu and Zhang agree with each other.
"This is actually the finger of Emperor Qianlong."
After seeing these words clearly, Liu Guangqi was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect to pick up a leak. Since he could pick up Emperor Qianlong's ring finger, his luck was too bad. You know Qianlong The emperor's finger ring can easily be fetched for tens of millions in later generations, and if it is a high-quality piece, it will not be a problem to fetch hundreds of millions.
However, after Liu Guangqi took a closer look, he discovered that this was not a ring worn by Emperor Qianlong himself, but a ring given to his ministers, because behind those lines of poetry, there was a word "gift".
A feeling of disappointment surged into Liu Guangqi's heart, and then Liu Guangqi slapped himself.
Damn it, Liu Guangqi felt a little shameless after finding such a big deal, and still not being satisfied and still dissatisfied with this and that.
"call"
With a sigh of relief, Liu Guangqi put the white jade ring aside. He picked up another ring. This ring was green. Liu Guangqi originally thought it was an ordinary piece of jasper, but when he picked it up and looked at it under the light, he realized that it was actually a piece of jade.
Moreover, it is also a piece of imperial green, the color is yang and positive, and the green is intoxicating. What's even more difficult is that the jadeite's seed water has not reached the glass level, but according to Liu Guangqi's observation, it has reached the ice level. The entire finger is transparent and flawless, and there is no trace of variegation under the light.
“It’s so exciting”
Liu Guangqi wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sweat was not only due to heat, but also due to excessive excitement.
God really treated him well. He first gave him a Hotan mutton-fat jade, and then gave him a top-quality imperial green jade. You must know that these two jade are the two most expensive jade in China, especially The imperial green jadeite at the back is worth tens of millions just for the material itself.
"calm down"
After patting his face and forcing himself to calm down, Liu Guangqi continued to read.
It was another poem inscribed by Emperor Qianlong. It couldn't be that it was given by Emperor Qianlong to that minister. However, Liu Guangqi looked around and couldn't find any word "gift".
Could this be Emperor Qianlong's own? Liu Guangqi suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen on Douyin that Emperor Qianlong did indeed have an jade ring.
