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. Sheâll be embarra.s.sed.
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 wonât return this favor, then wouldnât she look very impolite?
âHousekeeper Cao, Housekeeper Cao⦠â¦â
When Lin Chujiu finished drawing, she asked Housekeeper Cao to bring a carpenter to help her make a Luban lock.
She didnât play less a Luban lock when she was a child. This kind of wooden toy was sent by volunteers. She couldnât 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 â¦
âThis, isnât this the Luban lock of the former dynasty?â 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!
âLuban lock?â Housekeeper Cao doesnât know what the drawing was all about, but he understood what the carpenter said: âw.a.n.gfei, did you draw this Luban lock?â
Housekeeper Caoâs eyes lit up, then he looked at Lin Chujiu as if he was a hungry a wolf, staring at its prey.
âIs there a problem with Luban lock?â 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 didnât come up with something, not in history.
âw.a.n.gfei, Luban lock has been lost, so how did you know about it?â As Housekeeper Caoâs eyes lit up, he began to imagine various kinds of Lin Chujiuâs life experiences. The most unbelievable event was: âw.a.n.gfei, are you by chance Lu Banâs family heir?â
âWhat the⦠â¦â When Lin Chujiu made sure that she didnât bring out things that she shouldnât have, she felt relieved. She just said: âMy master told me that since the Luban lock has been lost, I shouldnât spread it out. But I want to give it to w.a.n.gye.â
Xiao w.a.n.gfu had a personal group of artisans. The carpenter brought Housekeeper Cao were sold to the Xiao w.a.n.gfu as a servant. Lin Chujiu was not worried about getting in trouble.
âFor w.a.n.gye? Alright, alright, Iâll let someone make it.â 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 Chujiuâs 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 â12â Luban lock can be unlocked or not, the difficulty was very high. Lin Chujiu chose this to embarra.s.sed 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 couldnât 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⦠â¦
