Chapter 197 Nameless Jade, Confused

The copper sound emblem in the middle of the red sandalwood guqin paperweight seems slightly more translucent than the other eight!
Originally, copper is impenetrable to light, but this is not just a piece of copper, but inlaid on red sandalwood, no matter how tight it is, there will be physical gaps at the edges; and the sense of light transmission that Yu Yao feels is not really transparent. Light, but the sense of light passing through the gap, it feels like there is a bit of space under this copper piece sound emblem, not as solid as the other eight!

Is something hiding under here?

Yu Yao couldn't help but be eager to try.

Finally, he let out a breath and made up his mind to pry it open to have a look!

Young and vigorous, rich and powerful, he now has all of them; although his wealth has not reached a certain level, it is no longer Yu Yao before.

3 yuan, I can afford to gamble.

The copper sheet was pried up.To be precise, it is a "copper hat", with a circle folded off at the side and buckled into the groove on the red sandalwood.

After the "copper cap" was completely removed, a small circular hole was exposed on the red sandalwood!With the peripheral circular shallow groove, it looks like a concentric circle.

However, the diameter of the circular shallow groove is only one centimeter, and the diameter of the small circular hole in the middle is at most 0.8 centimeters. It is too small, what can it be stuffed into?

Yu Yao picked up the bright flashlight and shone it in. The hole is not only small, but also deep. It should be able to penetrate more than half of the thickness of the paperweight, just like a micro-carved small well.

There is nothing at the bottom of the "small well", but on the "well wall" in the middle, there is a small square pillar slightly raised, which looks like it is alive.

Due to the characteristics and position of this small square column, it is impossible to pull it out.

Yu Yao thought for a while, found a stainless steel ear pick, inserted it into the "small well", and then tried to push it.

It seemed to be moving, so I increased the intensity.

"Snapped!"

As the small square pillar was pushed in, one end of the surface of the paperweight actually bounced up!

It turned out to be an institution!

It turns out that the outermost two of the seven strings on the surface of the Guqin paperweight, together with the two vertical copper wires at both ends of the strings, form a movable rectangular board!The periphery is covered with copper edges.

It's the same reason as the irregular thick pieces of wood that Yu Yao pried open before.

It's just that this rectangular board is connected to the components inside and locked by a mechanism.Only by pushing the slightly raised small square pillars on the "well wall" can it bounce up.Otherwise, if you pry it hard, you can't open it unless you pry it off.

Yu Yao took off the "cover" on the surface. Inside the piano body, apart from the mechanism settings, there is also a small square groove.

This small square groove is a little more than two centimeters long on a side, and a piece of Sichuan white wax is filled tightly and evenly inside.

Yu Yao carefully lifted out this small square of white wax, put it aside first, and then carefully checked the inside of the piano body to make sure that there was nothing else hidden, and then closed the "strings" on the surface again. cover".

After one close, there was a soft sound, and the small square pillars on the "well wall" protruded back again.

"It's so ingenious!" Yu Yao couldn't help admiring.

He first put away the paperweight and the "copper hat" that had been pried off, and put them into the brocade box.

This paperweight doesn't need to be shot.Go back and find a good craftsman, discuss the design, and see how to restore it more beautifully.At the same time, the "copper cap" in the middle should be easy to remove.In this way, it is not only an old red sandalwood guqin paperweight, but also an exquisite mechanism box, not bad!

Yu Yao just thought about it briefly when putting away his things, and after putting away the brocade box, he couldn't wait to pick up this small square of Sichuan white wax.

It is impossible to hide a piece of Sichuan white wax with such an exquisite mechanism!The only possibility is that there is something wrapped in this Sichuan white wax.

Sichuan white wax, also known as insect wax, is different from the current chemical wax synthetic wax. It is pure natural. The male larvae of white wax worms gather on the white wax tree, resulting in the secretion of a white wax, which is then processed and purified.Chuan Baiwa has a wide range of uses, but the price is not too high.

Because he didn't know what would be wrapped in the wax, Yu Yao didn't dare to use fire to melt it, and he didn't even dare to use a blade.Fortunately, the texture of Chuan Baiwa is soft, just pick it up with a toothpick and work slowly.

The last thing Yu Yao picked out was a small piece of jade.

Yu Yao took a small hard-bristle brush and dipped it in clean water to scrub it; it was too small, and it took a lot of effort to brush.

After cleaning it thoroughly, Yu Yao held this small piece of jade-like thing, and to be honest, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because he couldn't recognize what kind of jade it was!
The color is good, elegant light blue and white.Opaque, at least lower than the transparency of Hetian jade.

The moistness is good, a bit similar to the oiliness of Hetian jade, but brighter than Hetian jade, but it can't reach the brightness of jadeite.

The hardness cannot be measured, but the feeling of touch should be lower than that of Hetian jade, and at the same time higher than that of ordinary stone.

Not Hetian jade, not emerald; not Lantian jade, not Xiuyu, not Dushan jade; not agate, not turquoise; not coral, not beeswax...

Neither are gemstones such as tourmaline and sapphire; nor are they famous stones such as Shoushan stone and Qingtian stone...
In a broad sense, there are many types of jade, but Yu Yao thinks to himself that he basically knows all the valuable ones, because the valuable ones usually have a certain reputation.

But this small piece of jade is not any kind of jade he knows!
If there is no reputation and low value, why bother to hide it like this? !
Moreover, this method of hiding is not to hide it completely, but to hide it in a well-made stationery that can be handed down from generation to generation.

There was indeed something hidden in the paperweight, and it was taken out, only to enter another mystery!
However, this mystery also brought a little clue, and it also allowed Yu Yao to finally figure out why there was such an irregular shape at the end of the paperweight.

The shape of this small piece of jade is a bit like a pyramid.It's just that there is no "spire", which is an irregular small section; at the same time, the "bottom" is also a larger section; however, the pyramid has four edges, and this small piece of jade has three edges, together with three slopes, It seems to have been polished, with only a few parts showing signs of defects.

In this way, the clue left to Yu Yao is: this small piece of jade seems to be knocked or chiseled from some jade piece.

However, because its size is too small, it is impossible to determine the size of the original jade piece, let alone know what kind of jade piece it is.

And the reason why there is such an irregular figure at the end of the paperweight is because the section of the "bottom" of this small piece of jade is in this shape!
This is a very special hint.

It is not difficult to infer that this person should know the origin of this small piece of jade!
He cherishes it so much, but Yu Yao can't even recognize the texture...
"He used this section as a mark, which means that in his opinion, this section is very important!" Yu Yao thought so, picked up the flashlight again, and shined on this section...
