Chapter 459: Nine square grid box, Luban lock (Part 2)
Looking at the bright red seal at the end of the letter, Lin Chujiu felt that the word looked very good and a thousand times better than her handwriting. She had to practice calligraphy. Otherwise, if her handwriting will be compared with the word on the seal. She’ll be embarrassed.
Lin Chujiu silently wrote practicing calligraphy on her agenda, but before that, Lin Chujiu decided to find a carpenter to do something interesting.
Xiao Tianyao gave her a gift, and then he created a torturous nine-square grid box. If she won’t return this favor, then wouldn’t she look very impolite?
“Housekeeper Cao, Housekeeper Cao… …”
When Lin Chujiu finished drawing, she asked Housekeeper Cao to bring a carpenter to help her make a Luban lock.
She didn’t play less a Luban lock when she was a child. This kind of wooden toy was sent by volunteers. She couldn’t grab a good-looking toy, like dolls or trains.
Luban lock was just a few pieces of wood, but cannot be easily broken. When Lin Chujiu was still a child, she could play Luban lock all day long. She was very familiar with its structure.
According to Lin Chujiu, Luban lock was a just toy, but for the carpenters of this era, the Luban lock was …
“This, isn’t this the Luban lock of the former dynasty?” When the carpenter got the drawing, he was dumbfounded on the spot, as his hands kept trembling while holding the drawing.
This, this, this is a rare treasure, a treasure that has been lost for a long time!
“Luban lock?” Housekeeper Cao doesn’t know what the drawing was all about, but he understood what the carpenter said: “Wangfei, did you draw this Luban lock?”
Housekeeper Cao’s eyes lit up, then he looked at Lin Chujiu as if he was a hungry a wolf, staring at its prey.
“Is there a problem with Luban lock?” Lin Chujiu silently took a step back.
She read history books. There was clearly a person named Lu Ban in the history records, as well as a famous public conveyer. She didn’t come up with something, not in history.
“Wangfei, Luban lock has been lost, so how did you know about it?” As Housekeeper Cao’s eyes lit up, he began to imagine various kinds of Lin Chujiu’s life experiences. The most unbelievable event was: ”Wangfei, are you by chance Lu Ban’s family heir?”
“What the… …” When Lin Chujiu made sure that she didn’t bring out things that she shouldn’t have, she felt relieved. She just said: “My master told me that since the Luban lock has been lost, I shouldn’t spread it out. But I want to give it to Wangye.”
Xiao Wangfu had a personal group of artisans. The carpenter brought Housekeeper Cao were sold to the Xiao Wangfu as a servant. Lin Chujiu was not worried about getting in trouble.
“For Wangye? Alright, alright, I’ll let someone make it.” Housekeeper Cao was very excited that he took the carpenter with him to discuss the Luban lock.
The Luban lock Lin Chujiu drawn was a twelve-pillar lock. After making it according to Lin Chujiu’s drawing, there are a lot of things that can be put in it after unraveling it.
In addition to the twelve pillars, there were also nine and six pillars Luban lock. Whether the ’12’ Luban lock can be unlocked or not, the difficulty was very high. Lin Chujiu chose this to embarrassed Xiao Tianyao.
It was not difficult to make Luban locks, the carpenter created it the same day, and there was more than one set. The carpenter and Housekeeper Cao tried it in private, but they couldn’t solve it.
The two had to stop in depression and sent the block to Lin Chujiu. They waited for Lin Chujiu to write instructions on how to solve it, but in the end, Lin Chujiu just asked them to put down the drawing and the Luban lock.
The carpenter and Housekeeper Cao looked at the Luban lock in the brocade box… …
Forget it, just go back and move on!
