The palm-sized ebony box is square and square without any fine seams, just like it was dug out from the heart of a tree.
Although the box is small, according to Lin Chujiu’s visual inspection, it is ok to put three or five letters. Lin Chujiu is still looking forward to getting the box, but now the problem is coming…
"How to open it?" There is no lock on the box, only a row of characters is engraved on the side, which vaguely looks like a nine-square grid. Lin Chujiu dialed it at will, and found that the characters on it could be moved.
Lin Chujiu was immediately dumbfounded, "I read the letter, and I have to solve the Jiugongge first. Are you too busy, my lord?"
Lin Chujiu really wanted to cry. Is it easy for her to read a letter
"It's so annoying, all my bad luck has run out when I meet you in this life." Lin Chujiu complained, but he still solved Jiugongge honestly.
She had worked so hard to get Xiao Tianyao's reply, if she couldn't solve it and couldn't see it, it would be a loss.
To be able to skip grades to finish medical school and get a doctorate degree at a young age, Lin Chujiu is naturally not stupid. Although Xiao Tianyao's nine-square grid is complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, there are only nine grids, so how can she handle it
After a quarter of an hour, I heard a "click" and the wooden box opened!
"It's not easy!" Lin Chujiu opened it with joy, but when she saw what was inside, she was dumbfounded.
There is a lot of space in the box, but there is only a piece of paper and a rectangular warm topaz.
"What about the promised reply? You don't have any credibility at all, so how can you be a husband and wife?" Lin Chujiu took out the jade and found that it was a seal. The ninth day of the first month" four characters.
"Is this a gift for me?" Lin Chujiu smiled again, took the ink pad with great interest, and left a mark on the white paper.
"It's very beautiful!" The font is sharp and smooth, and there is no irregularity at all. It can be seen that the engraver has put a lot of effort into it.
"Master-level handwriting." Lin Chujiu liked the name stamped on the seal very much, and it was more than ten times better than her handwriting.
As a result, even if there was only one piece of paper in the box, Lin Chujiu was not angry anymore.
Lin Chujiu took out the note, unfolded it, glanced at it, and smiled...
There are no words on the note, only two seals side by side, one is "Xiao Tianyao" and the other is "Lin Chujiu". The size of the two seals is small and the font is the same. If there is no accident, the materials used must be the same.
"Muffled." Lin Chujiu looked at the note and shook her head involuntarily.
She admitted that compared with Xiao Tianyao's gifts, her sense of gaiety was a bit perfunctory.
"Okay, I'll write it down this time." Lin Chujiu was in a good mood at this time, and she didn't care if she still had a letter in the deposit. She spread out the paper and wrote down her satisfaction and joy in receiving the gift.
Xu Shi was in a good mood, Lin Chujiu wrote very quickly, and everyone seemed to be filled with joy...
Recently, I often write letters to Xiao Tianyao. Lin Chujiu is used to writing several versions in one sentence. Even if he writes about his mood, Lin Chujiu writes more than three pages.
The signature is stamped with the seal given to her by Xiao Tianyao.
Looking at the bright red name at the end of the letter, Lin Chujiu felt that the word was beautiful no matter how she looked at it. It was a thousand times better than her handwriting. She had to practice her handwriting well. It's quite embarrassing.
Lin Chujiu silently put calligraphy on the agenda, but before practicing calligraphy, Lin Chujiu decided to find a carpenter to do something interesting.
When Xiao Tianyao gave her a gift in return, he made a tossing nine-square grid. Wouldn't it be very rude if she didn't return something
"Butler Cao, Butler Cao..."
After Lin Chujiu drew the picture, she asked Butler Cao to find a carpenter to help her make a Luban lock.
She never played with Luban locks when she was a child. This kind of wooden toys were given by volunteers. She couldn't get good-looking toys such as dolls and small trains because she was small. She could only play with Luban locks that others didn't like to play with.
Luban locks are just a few pieces of wood, and they can't be broken. Lin Chujiu could play all day when he was a child. He was very familiar with the structure of Luban locks, and he drew the figure in three or two strokes.
In Lin Chujiu's view, the Luban lock is a toy, but to the carpenters of this era, the Luban lock is...
"This, this is the Luban lock from the previous dynasty?" The carpenter got the blueprint, and immediately froze on the spot, the hand holding the blueprint trembled.
This, this, this is a baby, a long lost baby!
"Luban lock?" Butler Cao doesn't know the drawings, but he understands what the carpenter said, "Princess, are you drawing the Luban lock?"
Butler Cao's eyes lit up, looking at Lin Chujiu's eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, which startled Lin Chujiu.
"It's the Luban lock, is there a problem?" Lin Chujiu silently took a step back.
She read the history books, and there were clearly Lu Ban and a famous loser in the history books, but she didn't come up with anything that was not in history.
"Princess, Lu Bansuo has been lost, you, how did you know?" Butler Cao's eyes lit up, and he had already begun to fill in Lin Chujiu's bizarre life experiences. The Luban family heir?"
"What a mess..." Lin Chujiu knew that he didn't figure it out, so he was relieved, "My master taught me, since the Luban lock has been lost, don't spread it out, I gave it to the prince. "
Xiao Wang's mansion kept a team of craftsmen. The carpenter that Butler Cao found was a servant who sold himself to Xiao's mansion. Lin Chujiu was not worried that there would be any problems.
"For the lord? Good, good, I'll let someone type it out." Butler Cao was very excited, and he took the carpenter to discuss Luban locks.
The Luban lock drawn by Lin Chujiu is a large lock with twelve pillars. After it is made according to Lin Chujiu's drawing, it can put a lot of things in it, and you can get it after unlocking it.
In addition to the twelve pillars, there are nine pillars and six pillars of Luban locks. The twelve pillars of Luban locks are very difficult to "lock" or unlock. Lin Chujiu made it clear that he would embarrass Xiao Tianyao.
It is not difficult to make Luban locks. The carpenter made them on the same day, and there are more than one set. The carpenter and Cao Guanjia tried it in private and found that they could not fight no matter what.
The two had to stop angrily and send the wooden block to Lin Chujiu. They wanted to wait and see how Lin Chujiu would put it together, but Lin Chujiu had no intention of spelling it out at all, and asked Butler Cao and the carpenter to put down the drawings and the wooden block. That's it.
The carpenter and Butler Cao looked at the wooden blocks in the brocade box, and they were reluctant to give up...
Forget it, go back and fight!
