Chen Chufeng couldn't help but ask: "But I'm still a little strange, why did Prince Pei find this bamboo ball hidden under his father-in-law's pillow? Why did he go through his father-in-law's pillow?"
No matter how strange you think this bamboo ball is, you have to discover it first, right? But for no reason, how could he find this bamboo ball hidden under the pillow?
Originally, if you just went to visit Zhu Shanchang, you would have to stay at least one foot away from the bed. Pei Wu could just come closer, but he also went to look at Zhu Shanchang's pillow?
This is a bit unreasonable.
Fang Jiujin almost subconsciously prepared to retaliate: Pei Wu can do whatever he wants, what¡¯s wrong?
But if these words were really spoken, it would be a bit unreasonable. Pei Wu stretched out his hand to stop him before he was about to say these words, and continued: "That's because I was standing beside the bed at that time, I saw a moth flying to the mountain leader's pillow and settling there. I was worried that the moth would crawl into the mountain leader's collar or ears, so I went over and tried to drive the moth away, but in the end I had no intention of looking at it. Here comes the bamboo ball."
He paused for a moment, "The little moth burrowed under the pillow and seemed to be attracted to the bamboo ball. Senior Sister Zhu can try to smell it. This bamboo ball seems to emit a strange smell."
Everyone believed his explanation.
Originally, there was nothing worthy of criticism about Pei Wu's moral character.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Minmin actually put the bamboo ball under her nose and sniffed it gently.
In addition to the smell of purple bamboo itself, the bamboo balls also emit a very strange smell, which is somewhat indescribable. It can be said to be unpleasant, but it cannot be considered smelly. If I really want to describe it, it is probably a long-lasting smell. It smells like the fungus covered with pine needles and the slightly moist soil.
It has a slightly musty smell, but also has a plant smell.
"This kind of smell should not be used as aromatherapy. Originally, I thought this bamboo ball was somewhat like an aromatherapy ball, but because of this smell, I thought it was impossible. Moreover, Zhu Shanchang has always had a strong scent of ink, and there is no I saw what sachet he used." Pei Wu said.
Zhu Minmin nodded, "My father has said before that the most valuable thing about a man is the fragrance of books and ink. Only those young men who are addicted to having fun wear all kinds of sachets on their bodies, so he probably doesn't know how to use sachets. , this bamboo ball must not be a sachet."
"Minmin, show me." Chen Chufeng took the bamboo ball and looked at it carefully.
Zhu Minmin looked at him somewhat expectantly.
As the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Chufeng has also taken over a lot of the Chen family's business. He has handled, heard, and seen all kinds of things. Maybe he can really figure out what this thing is.
"Have you noticed," Chen Chufeng said in surprise after looking at the bamboo ball carefully, "the carving of this bamboo ball is very exquisite. If you hadn't held it in your hands and looked at it carefully, you would have thought it was just a bamboo ball." A woven bamboo ball, right? Only by holding it in your hand and looking carefully can you tell that it is carved. Moreover, every texture on it is almost the same, and this piece of bamboo should have several It¡¯s a small bamboo knot, but these small bamboo knots are just hidden in the grain, so if you don¡¯t look carefully, you can¡¯t see it at all.¡±
"Another one, this is carved from a whole section of bamboo. I looked at it for so long and couldn't find the interface. I can't be sure whether it is a complete piece or whether there is a place to open it. This kind of carving reminds me of Found a very famous master craftsman."
"Who?" Fang Jiujin couldn't help but asked first.
"Master Liuyin." Chen Chufeng said.
¡°Moreover, after he said the name Master Liuyin, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was Master Liuyin¡¯s handiwork.
"Really, you can take a closer look. At first glance, it is just a bamboo sculpture, but the details inside are very exquisite. It is that a small tube of purple bamboo is carved into such a bamboo ball according to its original shape. It turns out that the bamboo is hollow. The place just happens to be the inside of the bamboo ball, and the nodes of the bamboo are completely hidden, so it looks more like weaving."
Chen Chufeng raised the bamboo ball in front of him and asked them to look at it more carefully under the light.
"Look at it, every hole is the same size, and the thickness of every place is exactly the same. When you hold it in your hand, it has a certain degree of softness and elasticity. The control of this degree is very exquisite."
Hearing what he said, the others looked at the bamboo ball and seemed to think that it really made sense.
Doctor Tao frowned, "Even if it is a hand sculpture by Master Liuyin, does that mean that Master Zhu loves this bamboo ball very much and can't put it down, so he puts it under his pillow?"
Chen Chufeng shook his head, "As far as I know, my father-in-law is not a person who loses his ambition by playing with things. What he loves more is learning, calligraphy and painting, inkstones, etc. No matter how much he loves Master Liuyin's hand sculptures, he won't be so obsessed with it. It's like putting it under the pillow. Minmin, do you think so?"
He looked at Zhu Minmin.
Although Zhu Minmin was still a little angry with him, seeing that he knew her father so well and what he said was right, she could only calm down and nodded.
That¡¯s right.
"In addition, if this bamboo ball is just a hand-carved work by a master, there is no need to hide a piece of cotton and linen cloth inside, so there should be something inside." Chen Chufeng was happy when his wife agreed. stand up.
Pei Wu pondered for a moment and looked at Dr. Tao, "Doctor Tao, didn't the princess say that Zhu Shanchang's illness is somewhat special? Do you think this thing is related to Zhu Shanchang's illness?"
"this¡ª¡ª"
Doctor Tao thought to himself, Master Liuyin is King Lian. Only a few of them who are close to King Jin know about this, but Pei Wu and others don't know.
Now it is said that this bamboo ball may be the work of Master Liuyin, and it is suspected that it is related to Zhu Shanchang's illness. Will anyone later suspect that Zhu Shanchang's illness is related to Master Liuyin?
When the princess came back, if she knew that they were suspicious of her father, would she be angry?
It¡¯s not easy for him to express his opinion on this matter.
"We have to wait until the princess comes back to discuss this matter. Let's just leave this bamboo ball here for now."
Doctor Tao jumped up, snatched the bamboo ball from Chen Chufeng's hand, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and then immediately folded his arms across his chest and hid it.
Everyone looked at him blankly.
Even if it is to be placed with him, there is no need to rob it.
¡°Doctor Tao, you¡ª¡ª¡± Fang Jiujin burst into laughter, ¡°My legs are short.¡±
When trying to grab the bamboo ball raised by Mr. Chen, Dr. Tao actually jumped up.
Fang Jiu is extremely happy.
Doctor Tao's eyes widened. What is the focus of this brat Fang Shizi? ! So angry.
"I'll go back and see daddy." Zhu Minmin got up, "If this thing is related to his condition, if you take it away now, will he feel better?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel. com
