Three hundred and sixtieth chapters ghost work ball
Hu Jinyu entered the guest house.
This place does not seem to be a real residence for distinguished guests, but has been abandoned for a long time. The paint on the courtyard door is mottled. Once you enter the courtyard door, you will find that it is a square interior with withered flowers and plants, and stone roots are exposed around the corners.
There is a large water tank on the left and right side of the yard. There is no water in the tank. It is covered with fallen leaves and no one cleans it.
He was wondering why Shuaisi would let Jiedushi live in such an unkempt place.
Or maybe Zhang Xutang himself requested to live here?
It was still abandoned and no one was cleaning it, so naturally no one was doing anything here.
With heavy thoughts, a young guard led him to the door, lifted the heavy cotton curtain, and a warm fragrance hit the store, like a gentle sword piercing Hu Jinyu's heart.
"Second Master, the Hu family is here."
Hu Jinyu heard a lazily hum from inside, and the guard opened the curtain further and invited Hu Jinyu to come in.
Hu Jinyu walked in facing the warm wind mixed with medicine, food, and scented tablets.
After a night of chaos, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but the light in the room was still dim, and all four windows were closed. There was a brass smoker in the middle of the room, with a lot of silver charcoal underneath, and potpourri slices on top.
The fragrance of flowers blooms in succession in the house, penetrates through the seven orifices of a person, and invisibly oppresses the internal organs.
Hu Jinyu felt that her heart was sticky and heavy. She took a deep breath and saw Zhang Xutang half lying on the bed.
Zhang Xutang's lower body disappeared into the undulating brocade quilt, and his upper body was wrapped in many white fine cloths. The person shrank in the fine cloth, long and thin.
There was also a small table on the bed, with a jade-colored pillar holding an ivory ball as big as a baby's head on the small table. Zhang Xutang held a long gold hairpin and stretched it into the hollow gap of the ivory.
, to fiddle with the set of balls inside.
The curtain was lowered and there was a slight flapping sound. Zhang Xutang then raised his head and glanced at Hu Jinyu.
Hu Jinyu made him look a little dazed.
When he looked at Zhang Xutang just now, he thought he was a sickly young man. Under Song Huiyue's beating, he looked more like glass. He even worried that the cold air on his body would break him into pieces.
However, when Zhang Xutang looked at him, he immediately felt an unreal panic - as if a huge creature raised its head from the bed, its eyes gathered into a triangle, and a dark and forbidding gaze came from inside.
He suspected that he was still awake, and his voice came out of his throat in a panic: "Mr. Zhang, I should have paid a visit in person, but things happened one after another at home, and I was unconscious for many days. I didn't expect that you would ask me to come in person.
"
He noticed that his waist was bent, and he crouched down, staring at the ground, but he was still sweating from behind - Zhang Xutang was still staring at him, his eyes were like a rope, tightly wrapped around his waist.
on the neck.
"No need to be polite," Zhang Xutang's voice landed softly on top of his head, "Sit down and talk, Old Wei, move the chair forward so he can see more clearly."
Hu Jinyu watched a stone-like man come out of the corner - he had not noticed that there was still someone standing in the corner before.
He used his peripheral vision to look at other places where light could not reach, wondering if there might be guards hidden in these places?
Lao Wei moved the chair in front of the bed. Hu Jinyu didn't want to be so close to Zhang Xutang, but had no choice but to sit forward.
Being so close to Zhang Xutang, his previous illusions disappeared, and his nose was filled with the smell of hemostatic powder: "Is Mr. Zhang's injury okay?"
Zhang Xutang did not answer, but threw the gold hairpin on the table: "Do you know what this is?"
Hu Jinyu looked at the jade-like ball and said, "It's an ivory-carved craftsman ball."
Zhang Xutang leaned back and took a slight breath: "Yes, it's a ghost ball. Can you see how many layers it has?"
He stretched out his hand and casually moved the gold hairpin in the direction of Hu Jinyu: "Take a look with this."
Lao Wei did not go back to the corner, but stood aside and watched Hu Jinyu's every move, in case he suddenly stuck the gold hairpin into Zhang Xutang's eyes or other places.
Hu Jinyu took the golden hairpin in his hand, pinched the back of it, and used the pointed end to fiddle with the ghost ball.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up, shooting out a fiery light: "Is there more than six floors?"
This craftsmanship ball is extraordinary at first glance. What is carved on the outside are raised patterns and vines, which are intertwined with each other. It is carved with hundreds of holes. The golden hairpin is poked through the hole and gently moved.
Every layer rotates freely.
The further in, the slower he went, and finally there were thin beads of sweat on his nervous forehead. After he found the innermost medicine ball, he breathed a sigh of relief, carefully removed the gold hairpin, and placed it on the small table.
superior.
"The eleventh floor is truly a miraculous craftsmanship. I'm afraid only a ghost can carve it out."
"Pour tea for Master Hu," Zhang Xutang smiled, without any warmth in his smile: "Master Hu has been here for many years and has seen countless rare treasures. Have you ever seen anything better than this?
Made of ivory?”
Someone immediately came in from outside the door and poured Hu Jinyu a cup of hot tea.
Hu Jinyu's throat was dry due to nervousness. He quickly picked up the tea cup and took two sips to moisten his throat. At the same time, his heart was pounding: "I have never seen an eleventh-level ghost ball. I only heard that Concubine Zhang once had a six-level one."
It is already rare, and the Wensi Courtyard in the palace can only carve up to three floors at most."
He asked: "Where did you come from?"
Zhang Xutang's smile became more genuine: "I used to live in a house outside the Yuan Dynasty in Tanzhou. At that time, I saw a painting in his house, in which a person was carving a ball. I made a rough count on the painting, and there were also some
On the fourth and fifth floors, this year it happened that Zhou Yuanwai came to me with his young son and wanted me to recommend his son to the court. So I asked about the painting. I didn't expect it to be real, so I asked him to give it to me.
"
"This member of the Zhou Dynasty is really rich and powerful. Such a treasure, not to mention a family heirloom, can be regarded as a national treasure even if it is sent to the Forbidden Palace."
The smile on Zhang Xutang's face became more and more friendly: "If a family dies, everything can be given away."
After hearing this understatement, the blood on Hu Jinyu's face receded like a tide, and he looked at Zhang Xutang in stunned silence - Zhang Xutang's cheeks were swollen very high, with many fingerprints floating on them, and his eyes shot out from his single eyelids, full of blood.
"I also think this thing is good," Zhang Xutang's voice did not show any apology for the Zhou family, but was very brisk, "Look at this ghost ball, is it better to send it to the Liao Kingdom or the Xia Kingdom?"
Hu Jinyu subconsciously replied: "Xia Kingdom, Xia Emperor is very concerned about face and style. If he knew that there was such a treasure, he would not hesitate to spend money."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but step back, but with the hard back of the chair behind him, he had nowhere to go. He could only lean back as hard as he could, and at the same time, he felt that his back was burning hot.
Zhang Xutang nodded with satisfaction: "Then use your business methods to sell it to the Xia Kingdom. I will send two people to follow your caravan. I will not be less of the commission that your Hu family deserves."
He lowered his eyes and asked condescendingly: "What do Mr. Hu think?"
