Although Xiao Tianyao didnât write a letter, he sent a topaz seal to Lin Chujiu. Out of courtesy, Lin Chujiu was embarra.s.sed to just send one letter, but in a short time, she couldnât find anything good. So she found a red rope, tied a safe knot, and added a white jade. The safety knot was put in the Luban lock together with the letter.
When Su Cha got the letter, he found that the usual thin letter turned into a piece of wood. Holding the piece of wood that obviously looked like just a piece of wood. Su Cha was confused: âWhat is this? A present you will give to w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei?â
Xiao Tianyao gave her a brocade box, but Lin Chujiu will give a piece of wood?
What does this couple trying to play?
Is this love between husband and wife? Why canât he understand it?
Lin Chujiu said âMmmâ. Su Cha felt wrong, so he asked another question: âw.a.n.gfei, did you open the brocade box?â Such a simple nine-square grid box, was Lin Chujiu stupid?
Lin Chujiu didnât want to take care of Su Cha. But hearing his words, she couldnât help but have him a bad look: âItâs terrible to have no culture. Susu, donât say that you know me when you go out. Itâs shameful.â
âWhat should I be ashamed of? A box made out of a few pieces of wood, whatâs so strange about it?â Su Cha held the wooden block in his hand and looked around it. He was still confused: âWhat is this? It looks like a box but not like a box. Is it hollow inside?â
Arenât they just sending a letter? He wouldnât peek. Is this couple so bored?
âA Luban lock, which contains my letter to w.a.n.gye.â Lin Chujiu was afraid that Su Cha will doubt her IQ and talk about it to others. So, she kindly announced what it was.
âWhat? This is the legendary Luban lock?â Su Chaâs eyes lit up. He couldnât believe it when he heard Lin Chujiuâs answer. Su Cha tried to unlock it, but even after playing with for a long time, he still canât solve it: âHow can I open it?â
âIf you can open it casually, it will not be the Luban lock with twelve pillars.â Lin Chujiu was not looking down on Su Cha, itâs just this Luban lock was really difficult to solve. She could only solve the nine pillars and twelve pillars after watching others solved it.
âTwelve-pillar Luban Lock? w.a.n.gfei, where did you find this?â Su Cha looked at Lin Chujiu with bright eyes.
This Luban lock was a good thing. With the use of Luban lock, it will be safer to send out a message in the future. And once they learned the Luban lock mechanism, it will be easier to make other secret mechanisms.
âI let our people made it. Are you interested?
â Lin Chujiu asked and raised an eyebrow. Seeing Su Cha strongly nodded his head, Lin Chujiu generously said: âAsk Housekeeper Cao give you a set.â Su Cha will naturally not let this opportunity pa.s.s.
âIâll ask Housekeeper Cao.â After getting Lin Chujiuâs words, Su Cha turned and went to Housekeeper Cao. He smoothly got a new set of twelve-pillar locks from the carpenter, but⦠â¦
âHow do we solve this?â The three of them studied for a long time together and studied the set that Lin Chujiu unlocked, but they still couldnât find a way.
âThere must be a trick in it. It will be easy after mastering it.â Su Cha looked at the âlockâ in his hand, then picked up the other wooden stick. He continued drawing it until the sky turned dark, but there was still no progress.
âShould I just ask w.a.n.gfei?â Holding the twelve-pillar blocks, Su Cha decided to ask shamelessly. However, when he arrived at the door, the door was closed. The guard blocked Su Cha and said: âw.a.n.gfei said, if Su Gongzi came to ask about Luban lock, thereâs nothing to talk about. w.a.n.gfei will not reveal the answer until w.a.n.gye solved it.â
