Chapter 9 Mortise and Tenon Pear Blossom Wooden Box

"This kind of rosewood is a first-class protected plant, so this sword is definitely not from the past few decades. The style of the hilt is very simple, with only two spiral patterns for decoration. This kind of spiral pattern sword hilt was popular in the Warring States Period. The pattern does not conform to modern aesthetics, so this spiral pattern has not been widely used, and it is basically invisible now, but a hundred years ago, the thinking was not flexible enough, and there was no unique aesthetic. It will only use the style passed down from ancient times. So this black copper sword is at least a hundred years old." Yuezhou didn't mean to show off, she is now seriously thinking about this black copper sword, which involves professional knowledge, she even forgot to be afraid, her eyes are shining, and she is bold Gu Liangwei, his instigator, said: "Let go, let me take a closer look."

"You also said that the spiral pattern on the hilt is a popular style during the Warring States period, so why don't you think it's a black copper sword from the Warring States period?" Gu Liangwei blinked at Yuezhou as if she had changed. eyes, asked with great interest.

Yue Zhou looked at Gu Liangwei with a feeling of speechlessness: "Every object is alive, especially for ancient objects. The longer he lives, the heavier the sense of historical precipitation. This sense of historical heaviness depends on imitation." It can’t be done. Bronze swords are heavy, and the blades and hilts are always made of bronze. Otherwise, the hilts can’t support the weight of the blades. Your black copper sword, even though it’s a rosewood sword The hilt, but the inside should be hollowed out, filled with lead and other things to add weight, and mercury and other things to protect the hilt from decay, otherwise the sword body and the hilt would have broken. The master who cast this sword is very skilled Only in this way can the black copper sword body and the pear wood hilt fit together very well, but the pear wood hilt is not compatible with the copper sword material, no matter how well preserved it can last for a hundred years, your black copper sword In a few years, the sword will only be used as a decoration, if you look at it as a handicraft, if you want to swing it again, you will only end up with the body and hilt separated. However, although your black copper sword is an imitation of the Warring States period, However, this is the first time I have seen a rosewood hilt fitted with a black copper sword body, and the sword was cast in the Republic of China for more than 100 years, and it is still so well preserved. The value of this sword is very different. This is Is it a family heirloom?"

Gu Liangwei took another look at Yue Zhou, then shook her head: "Our family's heirloom is not this one."

"Give me the sword, let me take a closer look," Yuezhou said.

Gu Liangwei looked at her curiously, and said generously, "Okay, this sword is very heavy, be careful."

Needless to say, Gu Liangwei, Yuezhou will also treat this black copper sword that is much older than her with caution. She stretched out both hands to hold the sword. Even though she had prepared, she did not expect that the black copper sword was unexpectedly heavy. , the black copper sword fell into her hand, Yue Zhou's body immediately tilted, seeing that the black copper sword was about to fall to the ground, Yue Zhou's heart was about to bleed in an instant, if the sword fell to the ground, the rosewood The hilt must be separated from the blade!If she broke such a precious thing, she would be a sinner!Besides, she can't afford it! !

Gu Liangwei's eyes were sharp and her hands were quick. She raised her foot to hook the sword and kicked it up. She grabbed the handle of the sword and lifted the sword easily, and then asked Yue Zhou: "Is it not hurt?"

Yuezhou looked down at the intact palm repeatedly, shook her head, she didn't know how to respond to Gu Liangwei's concern, she had promised Xu Guangchuan that she would not believe Gu Liangwei's words, and of course she shouldn't have too much contact with her.

"Are you still watching?" Gu Liangwei asked.

Yue Zhou was a little scared, and shook his head: "No."

Gu Liangwei went to pick up the scabbard on the lounge chair under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and sheathed the sword.

Yuezhou saw that Gu Liangwei's movements were relaxed, and knew that Gu Liangwei must have practiced for a long time. He was a little envious, thinking that when his fingers touched the hilt of the sword just now, he seemed to feel other lines besides the spiral pattern, like two words...But Yuezhou It's not good to ask Gu Liangwei to see the black copper sword again.

There was a light knock on the courtyard door, and a child's muffled voice came from outside: "Sister Gu, you are not home."

It was the two children who came again.

Gu Liangwei smiled, put the bronze sword on the reclining chair, went to open the door, squatted down, looked at the two children at the same level, touched their little heads, and asked, "Do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus honey?"

The two children nodded vigorously.

Gu Liangwei turned around and walked around the screen wall into the courtyard, tiptoed under the osmanthus tree and raised her hand to tear off the two lowest osmanthus branches and broke them off. After seeing that there were no bees on the osmanthus, she gave the flower branches to the waiting children outside. The two children happily took the sweet-scented osmanthus branches, crushed the sweet-scented osmanthus and stuffed them into their mouths. Gu Liangwei touched the heads of the two of them again. Seeing that the two children turned and ran away, they closed the door and walked around the screen wall. In the yard, Yuezhou was looking up at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, as if eager to try.

Seeing that Yuezhou was too embarrassed to fold flowers, Gu Liangwei broke off a branch and handed it to her: "Osmanthus honey is very sweet, you probably haven't tasted it like this before."

Yuezhou has never tasted such a natural one, she took the branch and asked: "This...how do I eat it?"

Gu Liangwei twisted off a petal of the osmanthus branch in Yuezhou's hand with her fingers, and bit it in her mouth. Yuezhou wanted to imitate her movements, just as she pulled off the petal, the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms fell from the top of her head. Looking up, the sweet-scented osmanthus The black cat on the branch was rolling, pressing down on the osmanthus branch and shaking off several osmanthus flowers, Gu Liangwei smiled, knelt down to pick up a few clean osmanthus flowers and held them in her hands, stood up to see Yuezhou still in a Looking stupid, he raised his hand to pick up the sweet-scented osmanthus that fell on Yue Zhou's hair, and pinned the flower to Yue Zhou's ear.

When the black cat jumped off the tree, it used Yuezhou's shoulders as a buffer board. Yuezhou's shoulders were heavy before he recovered from his daze, and turned around suddenly to see that Gu Liangwei had already entered the house.

Yuezhou caressed the sweet-scented osmanthus on her ears in a daze, and suddenly remembered the nameless little flower hidden in the weeds she saw in the alley. She looked down at the sweet-scented osmanthus branch in her hand. The sweet-scented osmanthus , the color of the flower is clear, it seems...better than that little flower.

Yue Zhou put the sweet-scented osmanthus on the tip of his tongue, and bit the petals lightly with his teeth. The tip of his tongue first felt the unique astringency of flowers and leaves, and then aftertaste a faint sweet fragrance.

It's really sweet.

Gu Liangwei cleaned up the dishes, and cleaned up a guest room for Xu Guangchuan. She did all this without saying a word, and when Yuezhou remembered that she wanted to help clean up, she had already done it.Although she still hates Xu Guangchuan's eccentricity when talking to Xu Guangchuan, she is very determined in her heart. She didn't embarrass Xu Guangchuan and Yuezhou in these trivial matters. Yuezhou, who was forced to know the other side of her mentor, really didn't know how to deal with herself. She had nowhere to go in Wuzhuang, and she couldn't rest assured that Xu Guangchuan would stay here alone.

Yuezhou knows that human nature is complex and changeable, and no one can always be positive and sunny.For example, she obviously looks down on Xie Chun's style, but sometimes she sees Xie Chun enjoying the attention of those boys, she will also feel a little darkly jealous, jealous of Xie Chun's smooth sailing, jealous of Xie Chun's background, jealous of Xie Chun Chun's face, and I'm looking forward to seeing whether Xie Chun will be so proud after losing everything. This negative emotion can't last for a few minutes, and then Yuezhou will secretly spurn such a self again.This is human nature, and no one can avoid it, but Yuezhou didn't expect Xu Guangchuan's other side to be so... scary.

Human nature is like a coin with two different sides. What Xu Guangchuan shows in front of Yuezhou is a serious and old-fashioned but serious teaching side. This is not a disguise, it is also Xu Guangchuan's nature. Perhaps Xu Guangchuan will never reveal his unknown side.

Yue Zhou really regretted it.

Yue Zhou regretted showing Xu Guangchuan that photo.If it wasn't for that photo, Xu Guangchuan wouldn't go back and forth, and he wouldn't come to Gu's house again in his life, Mrs. Gu wouldn't be so sad, and Gu Liangwei's peaceful life in Wuzhuang wouldn't be disturbed.

Yue Zhou regretted coming to Wuzhuang with Xu Guangchuan even more.Although going to Yin Town with Xie Chun will be targeted by Xie Chun, at least he will not know about Xu Guangchuan's past.

Yue Zhou was a student of Xu Guangchuan when she was in the Department of Archeology. After graduation, she entered the scientific research institute as an intern and still studied with Xu Guangchuan. She has been Xu Guangchuan's student for five years, and she always respects Xu Guangchuan. Even if Xu Guangchuan did not personally persuade him Her parents, she couldn't enter the Department of Archeology to study her favorite major.

Yuezhou and Xu Guangchuan have a deep relationship between teachers and students. She thought she knew Xu Guangchuan very well, but when she came to Gu's house, she found that the Xu Guangchuan she knew was just a piece of cake.

From the conversation between Gu Liangwei and Xu Guangchuan, Yuezhou understood that Xu Guangchuan had done something wrong to the Gu family, but she didn't dare to think about it.She couldn't think about it, she was afraid that if she thought about it carefully, she would lose the last bit of respect for Xu Guangchuan.

Xu Guangchuan has taught Yuezhou for so many years, even if Yuezhou knows that Xu Guangchuan has done a heinous thing, he still wants to retain some respect for Xu Guangchuan.

"You sleep here at night," Gu Liangwei led Yue Zhou into the bedroom and said to Yue Zhou.

Yue Zhou nodded immediately.Gu Liangwei looks calm now, but Yuezhou has seen her beating people and dancing swords, and feels that although Gu Liangwei looks pure, she has a strong aura. Of course, there is no objection on such small issues, and it is all up to Gu Liangwei to decide , After nodding her head to express her understanding, she looked into the room. The spacious double bed was covered with light blue sheets, and there was a small bottle of astragalus cream and a small yellow man cup on the bedside table. It was full of life. , not like a guest room that was temporarily cleaned up.

"This room is..." Yue Zhou asked in a low voice.

"This is my room. My grandma is a light sleeper and wakes up when there is any movement. You can sleep with me all night. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my sleep." Gu Liangwei reminded Yuezhou: "Go to bed early at night, don't Get out."

Yuezhou nodded obediently, she found that Gu Liangwei had no expression when talking to her.When Gu Liangwei was facing Xu Guangchuan, she was sneering and sarcastic, but she didn't even bother to show any extra expressions towards her, and it seemed that she didn't care about her at all.

The weather in Wuzhuang in October is still very warm. There is no need to cover the bedding at night. A thin blanket is enough. However, Yuezhou did not expect to stay here for one night when he came. He only brought his mobile phone and wallet in his small satchel. He didn’t bring any necessities such as mouthwash and a small bottle of mouthwash. Yue Zhou paid great attention to personal hygiene, especially caring for his teeth. In an emergency, he would rather not wash his face than brush his teeth. Yue Zhou asked Gu Liangwei if there was any shop nearby. Gu Liangwei finds out a new set of toiletries for her to use, which makes Yuezhou feel better about Gu Liangwei.

Gu Liangwei's room was flat, without any clutter, and there were no tables and chairs to sit on in the room, so Yue Zhou sat down on the bed carefully. Sit down with confidence.

Then Yuezhou saw Gu Liangwei drag out a square piece of wood from the bottom of the bed. I don't know where Gu Liangwei touches and pulls, and seeing that the square wood is obviously one piece, many small drawers pop out, making Yuezhou look straight.

Yuezhou saw it, it was a mortise and tenon technique, if you don't know where the mechanism is in advance, even if the wooden box falls into someone else's hands, you can't open it no matter what except smashing the pear-blossom wooden box. The wooden box contains organs. If it is damaged by external force, the contents inside will be destroyed by the organs.
