Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment after hearing this brief introduction, and then he smiled and took it with a smile. But when he unwrapped the cloth bag layer by layer and saw the object inside, he was stunned.
Ah Liu actually thought of the same thing as Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing? Zhu Jing's seal was a Tianhuang stone seal, and this one was a chicken blood stone seal... Looking at the red and spiritual color, it's probably a fine piece of what is commonly known as Da Hong Pao!
Since the Changhua Bloodstone was mined in the early years of this dynasty, as far as he knew, this quality of Bloodstone had become very rare. Of course, the most important thing was that although Ah Liu was a high-paid employee because of the emperor's golden words, his students Zhu Er were in Cangzhou. Ah Liu had lost one income recently, and the other salary had always been collected by Wu, so how could he use it to buy this thing!
He turned over and looked at the seal, and saw the words "Lord of Fortune and Longevity" engraved on it. He couldn't help but glanced at the young man in front of him with a strange expression, who still had a calm face, and countless messy thoughts ran through his mind.
Where did Ah Liu get this thing? Did he rob the rich to help the poor? Or did he kill (evil) people and steal their goods? Or was it a reward from somewhere? Does this kid know that if he gives this thing to those nobles and rich people who are addicted to this, he can exchange it for a nice house in the capital
Thinking that it was unnecessary to beat around the bush with this guy, Zhang Shou simply asked directly: "I should have accepted your kindness, but it is really too valuable. Tell me, where did this thing come from?"
"I robbed them." Seeing Zhang Shou's sudden change of expression, Ah Liu said calmly, "When I was a bandit with the madman, I killed many people and robbed a lot of things. The madman gave me half of them every time. I didn't know what was good or bad, so I just picked up a bunch of junk. Later, the madman helped me store them all. This time when I returned to Beijing, he returned all the things to me."
Seeing Zhang Shou dumbfounded, the young man added: "I picked out the most beautiful stone from the crowd and found a carver on the street to carve a seal. Since the young master has no name or nickname, I asked the carver to carve these four words. Isn't Fu Shou very auspicious? Then being the owner of Fu Shou must be even more auspicious."
Zhang Shou immediately hit his forehead lightly. No wonder he felt that the four words "Lord of Longevity and Bliss" were too simple and straightforward. Moreover, the carving of these four words was just mediocre and could not be called excellent - even his limited level of appreciation could tell the difference.
It turns out that Ah Liu just found a carver on the street and asked him to carve these four words on a valuable piece of chicken blood stone! Although Zhang Shou's first reaction was that it was a waste of natural resources, he immediately laughed. No matter how good the chicken blood stone is, it is just a toy. Relatively speaking, Ah Liu's thoughtfulness is the most valuable.
So, he wrapped up the bloodstone and put it in his arms, then smiled and said, "I accept your kindness. For so many years, thanks to you for protecting me from rain and disasters. I still say that you are my family. In the future, don't just think of me, but also think of yourself. And don't think that your junk is worthless. Let Lu Sanlang find someone to appraise its value for you later."
