Chapter 780 The Secret of the Golden Palace
ps:Cavin, it's too late to update, please forgive me.
Hearing this, Cai Jianzhong and Kuai Zhenxing said in unison: "Can't give it to him."
"What you buy is yours, why do you give it to him?" Cai Jianzhong said: "If you start with such things first, you will be the one who buys them first, and whoever asks him to be slow."
"That's right." Kuai Zhenxing agreed deeply and suddenly thought of something: "Wait, I remember that there seems to be something passed down from his ancestors in my brother-in-law..."
"Well, in my hands." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "I have seen that thing and knew the origin of the thing. So I just saw the same thing and bought it directly."
"You bought it well." Cai Jianzhong supported: "If I were to buy it, I would also buy it. But in this way, Master Fang, you already have two pieces on hand? Since that's the case, then just make one piece of me."
"You have a good dream, too." Kuai Zhenxing said contemptuously: "There are always ones like this. The more you are, the better. Who would think there are fewer ones?"
"Master, what is this?" the beauty couldn't help asking, "It looks pretty ordinary, it's really a rare treasure?"
"Not necessarily." Kuai Zhenxing pondered: "In the eyes of those who understand, it must be a rare treasure. But most people think that this thing is useless and discarded like a piece of grass."
"That's right." Cai Jianzhong agreed: "Although this thing is just a fragment, it is worth a thousand gold in my eyes. In ancient times, even if it was exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, someone would probably be willing."
"It's not that I want to, but it's worth the price." Kuai Zhenxing said solemnly: "It is said that the whole thing was cast. At least hundreds of thousands of taels of gold was spent. A piece of fragments of thousands of taels of gold was just as appropriate."
"Have hundreds of thousands of taels of gold?" Kuai Zhenxing's grandson expressed disbelief: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"This is not an exaggeration, but a fact." Kuai Zhenxing shook his head and said, "You don't think the origin of things. Only then do you think we are exaggerating. If you really understand what this is, you may agree with our statement."
"Then you're saying that." The beauty urged: "Don't always make people cumbersome."
"Actually, I have told you about such things, but you don't have a memory or have not met the number." Kuai Zhenxing shook his head and said, "So Master Fang has the eyesight. He took a look and determined what it was, and then bought it immediately. Alas. This is strength."
Kuai Zhenxing sighed not only to admire Fang Yuan's strength, but most importantly to envy his good luck.
After all, everyone is in the same teahouse. But Fang Yuan encountered this thing and he immediately bought it. Putting aside the strength factor, isn’t this luck?
"Master, you're off topic again." A middle-aged man reminded helplessly: "You said we have no strength. We admit this. But we don't have a memory. I don't admit this. What is this? You're giving me a hint."
"Yes, reminder." The others nodded.
"Tip, this is simple." Kuai Zhenxing pondered for a moment and said, "I once told you that there is actually a secret space hidden in the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City..."
"The magic weapon for the country!" the beauty shouted in surprise, a little unbelievable.
The others also reacted and were shocked and shocked: "What, is this a fragment of the magical artifact of the country?"
While these people were surprised, Fang Yuan approached Cai Jianzhong and asked in a low voice: "Master Cai, is there really a secret space in the Palace of Supreme Harmony?"
Fang Yuan naturally knew that the so-called Golden Palace is actually the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is the place where the emperor holds a court meeting in the TV series. But speaking of it, this is also a misunderstanding.
Many people think that the Hall of Supreme Harmony is usually used for court, which is a misunderstanding of taking it for granted. In fact, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a place used to hold various ceremonies, and it is used very few times.
Generally speaking, only when the emperor ascends the throne, becomes a wedding, and becomes an empress, or is ordered to go to war, or every year, the three major festivals of the Birthday, New Year's Day and the Winter Solstice, will he receive congratulations from civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and give banquets to princes and ministers, and hold grand ceremonies.
Fang Yuan had visited the Grand Palace, but he didn't know that there was actually a secret space in the Grand Palace.
"I heard people too." Cai Jianzhong smiled and said, "It is said that under the dragon chaise of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there is a very secret space, with a Feng Shui bureau arranged underneath to accommodate the magical artifacts of the country."
"Really?" Fang Yuan was very interested: "Have you seen it?"
"Hey, Master Fang, I am just a commoner in the mountains and fields, so how can I be qualified?" Cai Jianzhong shook his head and then smiled: "It's Master Kuai who is offered to the court, so maybe he has the opportunity to observe one or two."
"What is being offered to the court? It's just helping with the forbidden city." Kuai Zhenxing did not hide it and said bluntly: "There is indeed a small room under the dragon throne. But unfortunately, the room has been cleared long ago, and the layout inside has disappeared, and it has long since disappeared from its former style."
"At least it's better than us. We just heard the sound and had never seen the real thing before." Cai Jianzhong said, more or less envious.
"Old Cai, you have a chance, but you don't want to come, what can I do?" Kuai Zhenxing took the opportunity to say, "If you change your mind, I can help you say to the top..."
"Forget it, I am used to being idle and wild cranes, and I can't stand the constraints." Cai Jianzhong refused, "Your family is all in Beijing, and there are a large group of apprentices to support you. It's not okay to not seek relationships. I am a high mountain and far away from the emperor. I am much more relaxed and comfortable. I don't want to eat imperial grain, and I don't have the life to eat imperial grain."
"...I won't mention this, I won't mention this." As soon as he said that, Cai Jianzhong changed the subject himself and said with a smile: "It's better to look at this artifact fragment, it's a good thing."
"It's indeed a good thing." Kuai Zhenxing nodded and asked sideways: "Master Fang, don't you mind opening your eyes to us, right?"
"Please give me a try!" Fang Yuan stretched out his hand to signal.
Kuai Zhenxing did not take action, but instead said, "Auspicious, great opportunity, why don't you ask Master Fang for advice quickly."
"Oh..." the young man next to him nodded.
At this time, Fang Yuan knew the name of Kuai Zhenxing's grandson. Kuai Jixiang was quite intentional. After all, the ancestor of the Kuai family's craftsmanship inheritance was Kuai Xiang. Kuai Zhenxing named his grandson Jixiang, which was also a kind of expectation.
At the right time, Kuai Jixiang picked up the metal fragments and studied them repeatedly: "I can't see that the weight is quite heavy, unlike brass, it may be a metal with other ingredients added..."
"There is gold and silver." Kuai Zhenxing said: "Do you know the Xuande Furnace?"
"I know, I must have heard of the famous Xuande furnace." Kuai Jixiang nodded quickly: "The Emperor Xuande in the Ming Dynasty specially ordered a palace craftsman to refine red copper more than ten times and add precious metals such as gold and silver. Therefore, after the furnace is completed, it is full of treasures, which is a very rare treasure."
"Well, just know." Kuai Zhenxing said softly: "The legend is just a legend. I can't say whether it is true or false. It's just a legend anyway. The legendary Xuande Furnace is the craft of Emperor Xuande imitating the artifact of Zhenguo, and let the imperial craftsman cast it according to the process flow of the artifact of Zhenguo and after reduction."
"No, there is such a saying?" The others were naturally surprised.
Kuai Zhenxing waved his hand with a smile: "It's just a legend, just listen to it, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..."
It would be strange if you don’t take it seriously. Fang Yuan thought about it. You should know that Kuai Li, the founder of the Kuai Family Gang, was also a palace craftsman during the Xuande period, and maybe he also participated in the production project of the Xuande furnace.
Or there are such clear records in the inheritance notes of the Kuai family. Thinking of this, who dares to ignore the "legend" mentioned by Kuai Zhenxing?
"...It's true." At the same time, Kuai Jixiang touched for a moment and said in surprise: "The legendary Xuande Furnace has a particularly delicate texture, just like the skin of a newborn baby. This fragment is also, not only delicate, but also pearlescent in color. Especially when you observe it nearby, it feels like the precious light is like water and is about to overflow."
"Yes, my eyes were not blind at all." Kuai Zhenxing said with satisfaction: "Now I finally know that this is not tattered brass."
"Grandpa, don't always hold on to this..." Kuai Jixiang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly handed the metal fragment to the beauty next to him: "Ruyi, you can take a look."
The beauty Ruyi took the thing over, looked it carefully for a moment, then handed it to the middle-aged man next to her sensible, and smiled sweetly: "Uncle Master, I don't understand, please teach me."
"Haha, OK." The middle-aged man nodded happily. Before he could see, he was afraid that there was another movement outside the box.
"Da da da da!" A crisp knock on the door also attracted everyone's attention.
In an instant, a middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and then he laughed in a low voice: "Master, it may be that the master has arrived."
"Haha..." Kuai Zhenxing smiled, raised his glass and drank a sip of tea before speaking, "Ruyi, go and open the door."
"Okay." Ruyi smiled brightly, moved away from the chair and ran to open the door.
Fang Yuan glanced at him and saw a bunch of people at the door through the gap in the room. Although it was a bit blocked, it was enough for him to see that among the bunch of people, there was a young man who had just been lifted out.
At this moment, the young man looked panicked and sweaty, but he dared not wipe it. At the same time, someone said, "Miss Ruyi, please inform me, and said that Aishi asked to see Master Kuai and came to take the thorns and apologize."
"Master, Boss Ai is here." Ruyi smiled and retreated, giving way out of the door.
A middle-aged man about fifty years old and full of majestic temperament immediately strode in, his face full of guilt: "Master Kuai, blame me, I'm not right. I've brought people now, and I'm going to beat, scold, kill, and cut, so I'll leave it to you to deal with..."
