Chapter 108
Shao Zhengshan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted angrily: "Ling Yu, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Why wasn't this carved by Master Zhu Zu?"
"You have never seen Master Zhu Zhou's works, how dare you say that they are fake? Besides, you don't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy or painting, how can you understand such a work of art?"
The wives of officials below who liked carvings all nodded their heads.
Ling Yu's reputation for being stupid and unable to play chess, calligraphy, and painting has spread throughout the imperial capital. How could she possibly understand such an elegant work of art?
"Ling Yu, don't pretend to understand! Pretending to be an expert is making people laugh!"
"You just have to distinguish between good and bad clothes! After all, you can fight with people over clothes and jewelry!"
"That's right, if someone like you appreciates Master Zhu Shu's works, it is insulting Master Zhu Shu. Shut up!"
Many people despised Ling Yu. Although they did not dare to laugh in front of Emperor Wu An, Ling Yu could be drowned by his spitting!
"Uncle, don't worry! Since I dare to say it, there is evidence to prove it!"
Ling Yu smiled faintly, pointed to the bracelet and said, "Didn't Master Zhu Zhou carve a pillar for the Great Buddha Temple to serve as a treasure for the temple? I remember that it was because the emperor prayed for rain, and the weather turned out to be good after that!"
"Master Zhu Zhou spent two years carving this pillar to thank the Emperor for his concern for the country and the people!"
"At that time, the emperor also gave the town a national treasure! A consecration ceremony was held specifically for this pillar!"
Emperor Wu'an listened impatiently, but when he heard Ling Yu praise that he cared about the country and the people, his face improved a little, and he nodded slightly.
Thinking of that pillar, it was indeed a work of miraculous craftsmanship. He would stay under this pillar for two hours every time he went there, just to appreciate Master Zhu Zhou's masterpiece.
"I believe that many people present have seen that national treasure!"
Ling Yu said calmly: "There are four gods on it, namely the King of the Kingdom of the East, the King of Growth in the South, the King of Guangmu in the West, and the King of Duowen in the North, who are responsible for good weather and good weather!"
Ling Yu glanced around the crowd and said with a smile: "Does anyone remember how the hand of the Southern Growth King holds the sword?"
Everyone thought for a while, and someone wanted to stand out, so he stood up and said, "That's right!"
He made a sword gesture.
Ling Yu looked at everyone and asked, "Is he right?"
Everyone looked at it and nodded: "Yes, that's it!"
"Yes, this is how the Southern King of Growth holds his sword. This is known to all! But the Southern King on Uncle Guo's bracelet does not have such a gesture!"
"Little father-in-law, take a closer look and show everyone this gesture!"
Under Ling Yu's guidance, little Eunuch Xie saw clearly the gestures of the King of Heaven and showed them to everyone in the same way.
"Now compare carefully, what is the difference between this little father-in-law and the young master just now!" Ling Yu asked.
Everyone carefully observed the young father-in-law and the young man.
Someone shouted: "There is no difference! They are all the same!"
Someone looked carefully and said, "It's different, there are subtle differences!"
An Zhe felt that there was a trap in every word of Ling Yu from just now, so there must be something fishy about Ling Yu's question.
He compared it carefully and finally said cautiously: "It's different!"
"Shizi An, can you get up and tell me what's the difference between the two?" Ling Yu looked at him with a smile.
An Zhe stood up and said, "Master Li is comparing the standard sword-holding movements of the Southern Heavenly King! And little Eunuch Xie, this is how he holds the sword with his right hand!"
An Zhe made a gesture and was reminded by him. Those who said the same thing looked closely and saw Mr. Li holding the hilt of the sword tightly with five fingers.
And little Eunuch Xie holds the hilt of the sword with four fingers, with the little finger pointing down.
"What does this prove?"
