Chapter 241 Showing the Jade Seal to Professor Zhou [Please Vote]
Li Yu's hand trembled slightly.
After agreeing not to ask questions, he suddenly asked to see imitation jade.
Professor Zhou, why has the tacit understanding between us disappeared?
However, the imitation jade seal will definitely be exposed in the future, and Professor Zhou will also know about it. Instead of hiding it, it is better to let her see the photo of the real jade seal.
As for her to ask, just use the old trick - even if she is killed!
Thinking of this, Li Yu took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, took out the photo of the imperial seal, and handed it to Zhou Ruotong:
"Swipe left and you can watch whatever you want."
The stinky guy is having a great time today. It doesn't seem like it's anything important... Zhou Ruotong took the phone and saw a square seal in the photo, and then he was stunned.
It is made of blue field jade, with five chi dragons intertwined with each other, and one corner is inlaid with gold... The more you look at it, the more it looks like the rumored seal.
This, this, this...
Am I dreaming!
Zhou Ruotong's eyes were full of surprise and he almost dropped his phone on the grill.
She glanced at Li Yu and saw that this guy was grilling meat skewers calmly. Then she took a deep breath and scrolled through the photo album. This time it was a side photo, which was more eye-catching and the details were more obvious.
But I didn’t see the engraving on the shoulder... could it be fake? Then why do you have to find a master like Master Deng to imitate it?
She looked at the next few photos and saw no inscriptions by Cao Pi or Shi Le, which were different from the jade seals passed down in the records.
Finally, there are eight bird seal inscriptions "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever", which is elegant and inexplicable majesty.
Over the years, many people have carved the national jade seal based on their imagination. Not only the bird seals, but also the gold repairs are also imitated very well.
But no matter how fancy the carving masters are, the jade seals they make are all fake at first glance. Unlike the one in Li Yu's photo, it looks simple and stylish, and even the fonts have a faint majesty of a superior.
After reading it, Zhou Ruotong adjusted his breathing and subconsciously asked where this thing was.
But thinking about the agreement with Li Yu, I had to focus on the photos again.
There is no engraving as rumored, but there is repaired gold. If this seal is not forged, it means it comes from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because the jade seal was restored by Wang Mang during the handover of the Han Dynasty, the inscription "The Jade Seal of the Great Wei Dynasty was passed down by the Han Dynasty" was added by Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi.
Only in this intervening period is Yuxi what it is now.
Eastern Han Dynasty... Zhou Ruotong remembered the set of jade pendants that his uncle had collected before, which were from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Here came the jade seal passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Where did this guy get it from? He couldn't have mastered some space-time channel like in the popcorn movie, right?
Zhou Ruotong's mind was spinning, and he wanted to ask to see the real thing, but felt it was too presumptuous.
If it is the true jade seal passed down from the country, its value is simply immeasurable. He has so many secrets, and he will definitely not tell the truth.
But I really want to see it with my own eyes... Zhou Ruotong put down his phone and racked his brains and was about to ask, but Li Yu spoke first:
"Don't ask, don't pry, otherwise I will cry to you."
Look at your potential... Zhou Ruotong rolled his eyes speechlessly.
You let me see the photos but didn't let me ask. Isn't this torturing me?
As an archaeological expert, Zhou Ruotong has always been thinking about the legendary jade seal that only existed in legends. Now that he has seen the photo, he will definitely lose sleep tonight if he doesn't confirm it.
Thinking of this, she looked around and saw no one coming, then she said:
"I plan to use that opportunity to ask questions... Tell me first, is this jade seal from the Eastern Han Dynasty real or fake?"
Li Yuzheng was holding a brush to brush oil on chicken wings and meat skewers. When he heard this, his hands trembled and he couldn't help but ask:
"How do you know he's from the Eastern Han Dynasty? Do you really have fiery eyes?"
Good guy, there are no clues at all, and there are no clues in the photos. I can actually tell the age of the jade seal. Is this a built-in carbon 14 dating?
No, no matter how strong carbon 14 is, it can only measure physical objects, and they must be organic matter. I haven’t heard of any instrument that can measure the age by putting a photo into it.
Fortunately, he was not within the range of Nuwa Empress' induction, otherwise Li Yu would definitely call out to his old mother in his heart:
"Mom, she beats me!"
Seeing that Li Yu didn't refuse, Zhou Ruotong breathed a sigh of relief:
"There are missing corners and no inscriptions. Isn't it from the Eastern Han Dynasty... So, is this true?"
Li Yu nodded, and then felt that it was not very rigorous to say this. This jade seal came from the novel world, not the real historical one, so it cannot be judged as true or false.
To be precise, this is the national jade seal in the novel world of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Seeing Li Yu nodding, Zhou Ruotong felt his heartbeat speeding up.
The legendary Imperial Seal actually appeared in the B&B. If word spread, the experts and professors alone would collapse the B&B house, not to mention the cultural relic dealers and brokers hiding in the dark.
Where did this guy get it from? I really want to know the answer!
She opened her mouth and was about to continue asking questions when Li Yu handed over a bunch of grilled mutton skewers:
"You've finished asking a question. Don't ask it again, otherwise I will hold your legs and cry, saying that you are domestically abusing me."
Zhou Ruotong: "..."
You stinky guy, are you trying to make me angry?
Why do you want me to find out more about this person?
When Li Yu saw Diao Chan coming from the kitchen carrying a basket of vegetable skewers and talking and laughing with Xiu He and Xiao Ju, he quickly whispered:
"Eat first, then I'll take a look at you after you finish the meal. That's okay, right?"
You can cheat with Professor Zhou when there are no outsiders, but forget it in front of Diao Chan and the employees. The tall image you have finally created will collapse.
Zhou Ruotong took a bite of mutton skewers and asked in disbelief:
"real?"
"It's absolutely true. If I want to lie to you, I'll stay single until I'm eighty. Isn't this oath poisonous enough?"
Zhou Ruotong was amused by this improper oath, and raised his hand to hit Li Yu on the arm:
"You plan to play games for the rest of your life, right? What a great idea!"
After speaking, she pointed to the unbaked chicken wings next to her:
"I'm going to eat two skewers of honey-glazed grilled wings. Remember to brush them with honey. If you don't brush them with honey, they won't taste good."
Good guy, you are making demands as soon as I make a concession. Are you too well versed in the sixteen-word policy of guerrilla warfare?
However, thinking of Professor Zhou’s contribution to the B&B, Li Yu nodded and agreed:
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied with your meal... Come and have some pig brains too. You've been working so hard all day, so it's just a good time to replenish them. I bought these pig brains in the afternoon, they're so fresh."
Zhou Ruotong:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Please tell me clearly, whose pig brain needs mending? !
Li Yu succeeded in committing suicide and quickly said to Diao Chan:
"Bring the vegetables over quickly, we're just waiting for these dishes... Let me know in advance how spicy or not spicy you want. The restaurant has small pancakes. If you want to experience Zibo Barbecue, you can roll them up and eat them yourself."
I'll settle the score with you later... Zhou Ruotong tasted the mutton. It was very tender and tasty. The cumin and chili were just right, not covering up the delicious taste of the mutton, but also whetting the appetite.
At this level, you should be able to make a lot of money by running a night market stall.
As soon as Diao Chan put down the vegetable basket in her hand, Zhou Ruotong picked up two mutton skewers from the grilled plate and handed them over:
"I brought you a small gift from the capital this time. I'll give it to you after dinner."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou!"
Diao Chan sat down and chatted with Zhou Ruotong.
Li Yu stood in front of the grill like a worker bee, busy all the time, placing the delicious and delicious skewers on the charcuterie plate, and then they were divided among everyone.
Beside the grill, there were several tinfoil bowls with roasted pig brains in them.
There were also grilled eggplants, grilled green peppers, grilled leeks, grilled corn kernels, grilled gluten, baked potato chips and other vegetarian dishes. Everyone had a great time eating, and even many residents came over to eat on skewers.
When the roasting was almost done, Li Yu ate a bunch of skewers with the pancakes. He was also very interested in teaching Zhou Ruotong how to roast chicken wings, and then he was forced to eat a bunch of battered chicken wings... This is the end of being a good teacher.
After eating and drinking, everyone helped clean up the skewers and grill, and put the remaining ingredients back into the kitchen.
Li Yu took off his apron and waved to Professor Zhou like the head of the family:
"Go to the study and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I go."
After saying that, he strode to the backyard with Huang Tingjian's original handiwork, preparing to go to the vault to ask for the human race's most precious treasure - the Jade Seal of the Nation.
Zhou Ruotong felt his heart beating faster again. He was finally going to see the legendary Sheji artifact. He didn't know if it was allowed to take pictures... Forget it, he should be satisfied with just one look. How could he be greedy and take pictures again.
She went to the car to get a set of brand-name skin care products, as well as various clothes, shoes, etc. that she had bought with Gu Ying in the past two days.
Zhou Ruotong is usually aloof, but now he suddenly bought a bunch of girly clothes, which made Gu Ying despise her for pretending to be young. However, after the contempt, she also bought a bunch of girly clothes of the same style.
Diao Chan took the gift and thanked her profusely.
When they came upstairs, the little girl knew that Zhou Ruotong wanted to talk to Li Yu about other things, so she took the initiative to go back to her room without stopping in the study.
Soon, Li Yu went upstairs carrying a bag.
Worried that some guests would go to the study to play, he thought for a while and took Zhou Ruotong to his suite.
Turning on the big light in the reception room, Li Yu closed the door, then took the small red box out of the bag and placed it on the coffee table:
"This is the Imperial Seal... You won't just knock me out and grab me, right?"
Zhou Ruotong was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. When he heard this, he hit this guy angrily:
"What are you saying, am I this kind of person?"
You bastard, don't push me further just because I can't bear to beat you!
Li Yu laughed twice:
"I'm afraid you're too nervous, just kidding."
After saying that, he opened the small red box and took out the jade seal:
"Look, don't drop it. If you patch it up again, it will become a fake."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruotong quickly sat on the sofa and went to the coffee table to examine it for a while. Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his bag and put them on. He carefully picked up the jade seal and looked at it carefully, not missing any detail. .
Li Yu sat aside, searching for the price of Huang Tingjian's original calligraphy on his mobile phone, wondering how much the calligraphy given by Zhou Ruotong was worth.
Someone sent me a piece of calligraphy, why don't I get one in return?
There are indeed several calligraphy works in the vault, such as the original work of Wang Xianzhi given by Xie Yingdeng, and the original work of Zhang Zhi, the ancestor of cursive script. Taking them out will definitely make Professor Zhou gasp.
Forget it, don't scare her for the time being. If she gets scared and cries, she has to be coaxed, which is really troublesome.
Zhou Ruotong looked left and right, and even breathed a sigh of relief at Zhang. He covered it with a piece of white paper. Then he took out a small bright flashlight from his bag and studied the jade. transparency.
Finally, after she finished reading the jade seal, she carefully put it back into the box, then picked up the box and looked at it carefully. Based on the pattern and decoration style, she deduced that the box was made in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.
Li Yu held the teapot and poured Professor Zhou a cup of tea:
"I've been waiting for you to call yourself me, but I didn't wait."
Most people would feel that the entire country belongs to them when they get the Imperial Seal, but Professor Zhou seemed to be engaged in research from beginning to end and had no intention of becoming a queen.
Zhou Ruotong took a sip of tea and had a lot of words in his stomach, but he didn't know how to ask them.
After a long time, she looked at Li Yu:
"This must be your biggest secret, right? Are you not afraid of risks if you let me, an outsider, know it?"
Li Yu thought that Professor Zhou would launch a barrage of questions around Yuxi, but unexpectedly he became concerned about this. He smiled and said:
"In my heart, you have never been an outsider. Without your help, I would not have developed as far as I am now... While I am grateful in my heart, I can answer some of your questions selectively."
I'll give you a chance to ask questions, so as not to bother me in the middle of the night due to insomnia.
As a result, Zhou Ruotong shook his head gently:
"These are your secrets. The more I ask, the worse it will be for you, so forget it."
Um? It's not like you to waste an opportunity like this, Professor Zhou.
Li Yu was a little surprised and put the small red box on the table into his bag:
"If there's no problem, I'll send it back to avoid being seen."
Zhou Ruotong calmed down and reminded:
"Under the observation deck is where you store your valuables, right? Do you want me to help you change a set of vault-level locks? It comes with high-voltage electric shocks and pressure sensors to ensure that no one can get in."
Good guy, the secret base I worked so hard to build was exposed like this?
Li Yu thought that the cultural relics inside had to be dumped again, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, let's just do that. Even if someone comes to steal things, they can't take them away."
One or two people are not enough for Wu Song to deal with. If there are more people, Gouzi's big summoning spell can not only call the administrators of all worlds over, but may also release more powerful weapons.
The two left the room, Zhou Ruotong went to the study, and Li Yu returned the jade seal to the vault.
The secrets of the B&B were somewhat opened to Professor Zhou. Although only a small part of it was revealed, with her intelligence, sooner or later she would figure out all the secrets.
I hope it's not a bad thing... When Li Yu returned upstairs, Zhou Ruotong had calmed down:
"I will ask Master Deng to carve it for you next week. I will be responsible for all the materials, gold, and expenses required. How many copies do you plan to make?"
Look, this is the advantage of being friends with a rich woman, openness!
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"Four...to be prepared."
Now five worlds have been opened, but the world of gods is not used, and the remaining four worlds are divided into one.
If this thing can collect people's telekinesis, wouldn't it be equivalent to increasing the number of nuclear weapons... I'll talk to the empress later to see if this method can work.
Zhou Ruotong silently wrote it down and asked again:
"Will the jade seal be kept here forever, or does it need to be returned?"
"I have to return it later, but I can take it over at any time. There is no conflict."
He didn't go into too much detail, and Zhou Ruotong didn't ask too many questions. The two of them were now like martial arts masters who had a good relationship, they just clicked on all the questions without going into details or asking any questions.
Thinking that Li Yu had been neglecting his job, Zhou Ruotong asked again:
"So, all your investments here and there have deep meanings?"
My dear mother, you finally understand me... Li Yu nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes, those are all part of the plan and are very important."
"If you need any help from me, just ask."
The stinky guy is usually joking, but he didn't expect to be carrying such a big secret. Was it too much to bully him before?
Zhou Ruotong felt inexplicably distressed when he thought of Li Yu carrying secrets but no one told him. He wanted to share some, but was worried that such behavior would offend Li Yu.
The worlds are relatively peaceful now, so they don't need any help.
Li Yu said:
"Just keep it a secret for me. I'll come back to you if I need it in the future."
"good."
Zhou Ruotong's head felt like paste now, and he planned to go back and take a bath to digest the shock he received today.
Li Yu helped her pick up the bag:
"Suddenly you understand so much, you won't be able to sleep tonight, right?"
"No, don't worry."
Zhou Ruotong went to room 201 to say hello to Diao Chan, and the little girl hurried downstairs to see her off.
When the little tank-like Jimny gradually disappeared, Diao Chan suddenly took Li Yu's arm and asked:
"Sir, did you show Sister Zhou the jade seal?"
"Um."
"Then she will soon know that we are not modern people, right?"
Li Yu has also thought about this problem, but based on Professor Zhou's IQ, maybe people have already suspected it, but they just didn't go into it deeply.
He said:
"It's okay. Even if I find out, I will work with me to maintain the secret of the B&B and won't expose you."
But she will definitely not let me like you... The little girl pursed her lips, wanting to say something, and finally sighed melancholy, feeling the troubles of an adult at such a young age.
Li Yu pinched her cheek:
"Don't sigh all day long, hurry up and study. Don't think that you can understand the world by staying in a B&B and browsing some web pages...I will find a way to figure out your identity later, and you have to go to school. This is a necessary step to integrate into modern society. "
"I obey...don't forget our agreement."
After the little girl finished speaking, she went upstairs to study, leaving Li Yu with a stunned look on his face.
Agreement?
What agreement?
Will the B&B be your home forever or will it support you for the rest of your life?
After making so many agreements, are you talking about these two?
Li Yu went back upstairs, played two games to relax his brain, and watched some funny videos by the way. It was not until eleven o'clock in the night that he went to bed.
Just when he was holding his mobile phone and preparing to browse short videos for a while before going to sleep, Professor Zhou, who had said good night an hour ago, suddenly sent a WeChat message:
"Have you slept? I have insomnia..."
