Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

It is said that the Jiang family's ancestors worked for the imperial court. Since the Yongzheng period, they have been famous in imitating official kilns, that is, "official imitation".

So in terms of family background, although the richness of the Zhang family's house in Suzhou has opened my eyes, Zhang Rui said that the Jiang family in Beijing is much stronger than them, and the antiques in the house alone are enough to hold an exclusive exhibition.

The reason for mentioning the Jiang family is not only because Zhang Rui and I mentioned the grievances between Jiang Laoliu and the Zhang family when discussing the red sandalwood box, but also because the Jiang family has a master Jiang Siye.

His title is not in vain.

It is said that this person's hands are very strange, but they are much more flexible than ordinary people's hands. When typing, others can only see the phantom of his hands, but they can't see the gestures clearly.Liszt's piano piece "Memories of Don Juan" can be played in only 5 minutes, and the finger scale spans up to [-] scales.Moreover, his job is a bomb disposal engineer in the serious crime unit of the police station, and he often needs to concentrate for a long time and work precisely and meticulously. Only people with dexterous fingers can work in this industry.

Zhang Rui and I studied the red sandalwood wooden box for most of the day to no avail. Finally, Zhang Rui sighed and said, "Otherwise, I'll ask Jiang Si to discuss it. I think he should be quite proficient in this aspect."

Not only are Zhang Rui and Jiang Lin equally famous, but they also have a good friendship.But Zhang Rui is a relatively low-key person, while Jiang Lin is arrogant, flamboyant, proficient in ingenious and obscene skills, and his carving skills are superb. It is rumored that he can carve three-dimensional pictures of ladies on soybeans, and draw women who are stunningly beautiful and beautiful. Gorgeous.

Because he is very self-confident and extremely arrogant, and he is a princeling with a strong background and great power in the imperial capital. People in the circle call him the fourth master or the prince.

I was wondering how Zhang Rui made friends with such a dude. The next day Jiang Siyi came and gave generous gifts to Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Ci who was in charge of the family, but secretly stuffed a set of paperback "Gone with the Wind" "to Zhang Rui, and said: "The second printing of Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House that you wanted, the version translated by Fu Donghua, I found it for you, how can you thank me?"

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"How about drawing a meticulous painting of me nude and making it into a screen?"

Jiang Siye naturally said it casually, but unexpectedly, Zhang Rui raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Okay."

I think the friendship between the two is extraordinary.

Compared with the three things given to the old lady and the young master before, Jiang Si's gift to Zhang Rui is considered a "small gift", but it is not difficult to see that Zhang Rui likes it very much.

I was surprised, Zhang Rui originally liked to read romantic novels?

Zhang Rui said that Jiang Si is over 30 years old, but he still looks very young. He wears a clean twill shirt, trousers with black suspenders, and a royal blue coat. Few people dress like this nowadays.The curvature of the bangs on his forehead gave off a hard and sharp impression, making his face tough and strong.

I originally thought that Jiang Si and Jiang Liu were related, so according to the ranking, Jiang Si should be older than Jiang Liu, but I didn't expect him to be such a young man, which was very surprising.

Today, the three of us were discussing business in Zhang Rui's study. Jiang Si took a sip of the Biluochun brewed by Zhang Rui, with a smile on his face, and said: "The tea is light, and the people are also light. It's no wonder people are hypocritical for such a troublesome but bitter-tasting thing."

I couldn't help laughing, Jiang Si really hit the nail on the head, telling the essence of Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui's face was cold, and he glanced at Jiang Si sideways: "If you don't like drinking, put down the cup."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "If you let go, you won't turn against me right away? Do you really want me to let go?"

Zhang Rui moved his lips, but said nothing. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

I really couldn't intervene between the two, so I silently moved the peanuts aside, and halfway through, Jiang Si cast his eyes on me: "This little brother is very handsome, so you like tea leaves. It’s soft and crispy with a bit of toughness.”

I have black lines all over my face, hello!Who is the tea pole, I am a man with six pack abs!

Zhang Rui looked at me, coughed twice, and said, "Si, I want you to help me see if a mechanism box can be solved."

Jiang Si stretched out his hand and spread his fingers: "Where's the box?"

Zhang Rui fetched the phoenix wooden box and put it on the coffee table in front of Jiang Si.Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, picked up the box and looked at it: "One of the ten wooden boxes of the Eastern Emperor... Where did it come from?"

Zhang Ruidao: "The Jiang family also keeps one, right?"

Jiang Si smiled: "Indeed, there is one with a lion engraved on it. But the box is kept with the old man, and none of us juniors have seen it."

I said: "Before we saw a dragon engraved on it, it was a nine-turn Qiankun box, but this one is not. The mechanisms of the ten boxes may all be different."

Jiang Si nodded in agreement, and squinted his eyes to look at the wooden box.

I noticed that the five fingers with which he held the box were indeed indescribably weird. The nails were long and felt sharp and thorny.

He flicked the phoenix tail on the top of the wooden box with the nail of his thumb, and then clamped the two sides with his index finger and ring finger, and poked the middle of the side facing himself with his little finger. It was so easy. Then he opened the first lock that Zhang Rui had studied for two hours.

I stood there stunned like a turtle, Zhang Rui said: "There should be six locks left, we have been researching all night and have no clue, what do you think?"

Jiang Si turned the wooden box: "This is the 'Qiqiao Linked Heart Lock'. There are a total of 49 rotating shafts passing through the only round hole in the middle. The order of the rotating shafts must not be wrong, otherwise the shafts will be stuck inside, and the lock will never be opened."

Zhang Rui and I looked at each other. Fortunately, neither of us acted recklessly.I said: "I know how to open a six-star heart lock. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that the Qiqiao heart lock only has [-] more shafts than the six-star lock. The principle is the same."

Jiang Si raised his chin slightly, looked at me arrogantly, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to give it a try?"

I said seriously: "You can try it, but the tools..."

"Six-link and Seven-link? Wait a minute, I'll send someone over right away."

People said that Jiang Si said that the wind is the rain, so he picked up his mobile phone and made a call, saying that the tool would be delivered within an hour.

Sure enough, an hour later, he held the "six chains" and "seven chains" in his hand, and smiled at me: "I believe in Zhang Rui's vision, brother, please do your best, don't ruin Zhang Erye's reputation."

This put pressure on me invisibly, and I have learned Jiang Siye's veritable verbal skills.

He threw two sets of tools over, and after I caught them, I could only keep calm and say: "Let me give it a try, if there is anything wrong, please remind Fourth Master Jiang."

Jiang Si laughed twice, and turned to Zhang Rui: "What's so interesting and delicious in Suzhou? I think Brother Li needs to relax first before he has the energy to deal with that box."

Zhang Rui turned to me.Jiang Si said again: "Oh, by the way, you must take Lao Zhen with you. Old people need to exercise more to strengthen their muscles and bones."

Jiang Si's so-called "exercising his muscles and bones" was actually carrying his luggage for him.We strolled from Huqiu to Guanqian Street, and the gift boxes in the hands of the white coats were stacked like hills, what for the second, third and fourth aunts, for sister-in-law and brother-in-law, for aunts and so on, etc. The Jiang family is thriving, and it seems that everyone has a good relationship with Jiang Si.

When he arrived at the Lion Garden, Jiang Si bought a folding fan with bamboo leaves painted on the white background.Jiang Si said that it was too monotonous, so Zhang Rui insisted on inscribing it for him.Zhang Rui borrowed pen and ink and asked him what to ask, he smiled mysteriously, unfolded the folding fan and put it in front of Zhang Rui: "Five words, the best forest in the world."

Zhang Rui shook his head and sighed, as if he couldn't stand him, but he wrote the words anyway, and Zhang Rui's calligraphy was in a flamboyant style.

We finally ate some snacks in the garden, sweating profusely in white coats and said, "Fourth Master, if you dare to buy anything again, damn it, I will throw myself into a lake and turn into a ghost to bite you to death!"

Zhang Rui coughed and said, "I'll help you get some later."

The white coat grinned at me: "Why don't you help me get it!"

Before I had time to speak, I let Zhang Rui take the lead: "He is a guest, how dare he let the guest take it."

Red eyebrows and green eyes in a white coat stared at me but couldn't refute. I tried my best to hold back my smile: "Your second master Zhang is kind-hearted, he is sympathetic to my brother, and he strictly abides by the way of hospitality. You know your second master." If you have a bad temper, don't be envious or jealous!"

Jiang Si tsk-tsk said: "It's obviously boring."

I blinked at Jiang Si, Jiang Si turned his face away, waved his fan and recited a doggerel: "Zhang Erye, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, is good at calligraphy, painting and piano art. He visits the Lion Garden in one day, and sees beautiful jade without looking at the beautiful scenery."

I was still pondering this poem from the time I came out of the Lion Garden until I returned to Zhang’s house. What Jiang Si wanted to say was that Zhang Rui was looking at the flowers on horseback, and his mind was not on the scenery, but somehow it caught my attention.

At night, I lay on the bed and pondered over the hidden meanings in these four sentences of 28 characters.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside the house. It was midnight, and I was a little impatient: "Who is it?"

"It's me." Jiang Si's voice said, "Brother, can we talk?"

I wondered what Fourth Master Jiang wanted to talk to me in the middle of the night, and then thought it might be related to the wooden box, so I hurried to open the door.

Jiang Si had already changed into his pajamas, but he was still shaking the folding fan he bought at the Lion Garden during the day.He sat down at the table, put the Shaoxing wine he brought on the table, and put down two cups.

"Drink or not?" he asked.

While wondering, I walked over and sat down: "Drinking is drinking, but you come to me for a drink at this time..."

He smiled: "Some things must be said while drinking."

I really couldn't figure out what path this Jiang Si was taking, so I had to accompany him to drink half a bottle of red wine.When both of us were ruddy and began to feel light, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "What do you think of Zhang Rui?"

I refilled his drink and added half a glass to myself: "He's fine, what do you mean by asking me that?"

The biggest difference between Jiang Si and Zhang Rui is that when he smiles, I feel that nothing good will happen.

He said, "Have you seen the blue and white porcelain vase in his study?"

I frowned: "I've seen it, how?"

He faintly smiled: "Have you seen the jade pendant on the bottle?"

"I've seen it before." I thought for a while, "Is that jade pendant some kind of rare treasure?"

I thought Fourth Master Jiang invited me to drink and went around, maybe he wanted to talk about antiques.I also guessed that maybe he took a fancy to that jade pendant and wanted me to help him talk to Zhang Rui, but I also thought that the friendship between him and Zhang Rui didn't seem to require my help.

Jiang Si patted my back again and smiled at me so much that I couldn't understand it.

"Have you ever seen someone hang a jade pendant on a vase?"

I was completely confused: "Fourth Master, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? About vases or jade pendants?"

Jiang Si laughed, pressed my shoulders, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Some people only keep one agreement for a lifetime, and until they die of old age, maybe their souls will continue to guard that person. I will only say this once, you are good Think about it."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fourth Master, if you have something to say, just say it. If you play around with me, I guess I won't be able to come up with an answer for three days and three nights."

Jiang Si didn't drink very well, he stared at me drunkenly, and frowned: "I said why does he like you, it seems that he likes your pure natural and pollution-free temperament."

Pure natural pollution-free? ?

"Oh, when I didn't say it, go to sleep, idiot."

Holding the half bottle of wine left, he staggered towards the door.Only then did I realize that the door had been left closed, and the lights in the room suddenly came on, and Zhang Rui stood outside the door with a livid face: "It's midnight, and the lights aren't on, what are you two talking about?"

Jiang Si's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, I'll chat with my brother, it's nothing, don't get me wrong."

I really didn't understand the conversation between these two people, but I didn't have time to pursue it.

Zhang Rui squinted at me, then gave Jiang Si a blank look.He stood there coldly without saying a word. He really looked like a grieving ghost who was about to take his life. He suddenly grabbed the wine bottle in Jiang Si's hand, raised his head and poured it vigorously, and the bottle was "bang" by him. "It smashed to the ground.

I was stunned, and Jiang Si also froze in place.

Zhang Rui hooked the corner of his mouth, gave me a pale smile, and then squinted at Jiang Si: "I also hope that I am wrong... Humph."

When I came back to my senses, Jiang Si had already run away after Zhang Rui, and I heard him yelling in the corridor to tell Zhang Rui not to be angry.

I stayed up all night that night, lying on the bed thinking about it over and over again, and finally I came up with an unreasonable but logical conclusion.

Could it be... Zhang Rui likes me?
