Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 905 Gourd Bottle

Jin Miaomiao was courageous, walked into the main hall ahead of Song Yaojia and Bai Meng, walked to the center, and looked up and down, left and right, this place was used to receive important guests.

"This..." She wandered around the main hall twice, then turned to look at Song Yaojia and Bai Meng who were following her, "It doesn't look like anything special? It seems that the main hall of every mansion looks like this?"

"It's almost the same." Song Yaojia and Bai Meng stepped into the main hall, watched Jin Miaomiao wandering around, and reminded, "Be careful, what if there are some traps on the ground?"

"Unlikely." Jin Miaomiao shook his head lightly, "The structure of this house is different from that of the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's Mansion actually set up some traps on the ground because it wants to defend against foreign enemies. But The original purpose of this house was to hide some unknown secrets, and these organs were built to keep these secrets from being revealed to the world, so..."

"So, it can't affect the daily life, or it will be noticed, can't it?"

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao nodded, and gently tapped the green bricks under his feet with his toes, "Even if there is a mechanism here, we still need to dig three feet to lift up all the green bricks to find it, but such a mechanism It's too cumbersome, and most craftsmen won't do it. So, don't worry if you step on it boldly, there won't be any reaction."

"We don't have any experience in this area. In your opinion, where are those agencies likely to be?"

"The walls and these decorations are the focus of our attention." Jin Miaomiao turned around twice, "Let's try not to touch these things as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, just look at them with your eyes and write with charcoal Just put it down." She sighed softly, "But, these decorations are nothing special, right? They are all based on personal preferences, right?"

While talking, Jin Miaomiao continued to stroll in the main hall. After wandering for a while, he found a place with sufficient light, took out the charcoal pencils he had prepared before, and began to draw the layout and furnishings here.

When I just looked at it with my eyes, I didn't find any problems. Once I painted it, I found something wrong.

"His Royal Highness, Commander!" Jin Miaomiao stopped the pen in his hand and waved to Song Yaojia and Bai Meng, "Look, aren't the two vases next to the main screen a bit weird? This color , This kind of gourd shape is not very common, right?"

"It's not uncommon, it's just that there are fewer people who like this kind of gourd vase." Song Yaojia walked over to have a look, "This kind of vase, this kind of size vase is not very popular in our Great Xia, even almost No one knows this style of porcelain. But in the former dynasty more than a hundred years ago, such porcelain was not just this kind of big gourd bottle, but a series of this kind of colorful and huge porcelain , In fact, it is very sought after by the royal family, nobles and merchants. In the previous dynasty, if there were not one or two pieces of such porcelain in the mansion, people would be ridiculed. However, except for the literati, including the civil servants in the previous court , I especially hate this style.”

"Dislike?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Song Yaojia in confusion, "Why? Although it's not very pretty, it's not to the point of disgust, right?"

"This style of porcelain originated from Dashi. It was brought to Xijing by Dashi merchants. Later, because of the pursuit of the former royal family and dignitaries, it became popular. It's just..." Song Yaojia went to the big red Place, in front of the gourd bottle with white plum blossoms, looked carefully, "There seems to be something wrong with this bottle, it is different from the ones I have seen before."

"What's the problem?" Jin Miaomiao drew down the structure and layout of the main hall, checked it carefully, and confirmed that nothing was missed, then put away the pen and paper, and walked to the room with Bai Meng, who was also confused. Song Yaojia stepped forward, "What's the difference?"

"Have you drawn it all?" Song Yaojia turned to look at Jin Miaomiao, saw Jin Miaomiao nodding at him, and breathed a sigh of relief, "My research on this is not very deep, so I can only give a general idea. More detailed and specific, I still need to go back and ask my father and uncle Ning, they are very knowledgeable about this kind of stuff." He pointed to the bottle mouth of the gourd bottle, "Look at it Here, the size of the bottle mouth is much larger than the gourd bottles you have seen?"

Jin Miaomiao and Bai Meng glanced at each other, at the same time stretched out their hands to gesture, and then nodded towards Song Yaojia.

"The mouth of a general gourd bottle is about the size of Miao Miao's palm. This bottle mouth is at least two circles larger than Miao Miao's palm." Song Yaojia waved to the shadow behind him, "Is there a fire zip?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness." Shadow came over and illuminated Song Yaojia, "Can you see clearly?"

"Yes." Song Yaojia didn't dare to touch the gourd bottle, but leaned on Yingying's shoulder, and looked into the bottle, "Come and see, what is this?"

When Jin Miaomiao and Bai Meng heard his words, they looked over at the same time, and saw a black spherical object on the flat bottom of the gourd bottle.
