Shadow Bride - Chapter 502
Xiaohan raised a fat baby face: “What gift?”
The old man glanced at the servant who followed from the old house behind him, and the servant respectfully presented a box.
The old man reached out and took the box, handed it to Xiao Han, and said with a smile, “Open it and take a look.”
The child lowered his head and fiddled with the box. The box was made of fine sandalwood. It was carved with a pattern of Kunpeng spreading its wings. It has been passed down for many generations. The corners are faintly peculiar to the long-lasting friction Wood oil luster. The child studied the box over and over for a long time: “Grandpa Grandpa Grandpa Grandpa, there is no lock. How to open it?”
“I’m going to ask you about this.” The old man was still smiling, but a faint light swept through the depths of his eyes, “You can only get the gift inside by opening the box.”
Xiao Han looked at him seemingly, lowered his head for the gift, and went to work **** the box again.
Su Xingyu on the side was also curious, wondering what was in the box that could make people such a treasure.
Standing not far away from them, looking at the lively but silent Lu Shifeng from start to finish, he couldn’t help but said, “Grandfather, that’s mine.” He still remembered this. The box was placed in his study room in his old house. Why did the old man bring the box out after only a few days of returning, and turned it into a gift for his son? !
This old man, it’s really convenient to borrow flowers to present Buddha!
The old man glanced at him unhurriedly, without any guilty conscience: “Do you still know the things are with you? Hiding them and not showing them to Xiaohan until now, what’s your heart? My heir to the Lu family can I can’t raise it for you in vain. Why don’t you have any sense of crisis? This is because Pei Ziheng is not married yet. If you get married in the future, your children will surpass you every minute?”
Lu Shifeng: “…”
Su Xingyu pursed her mouth and snickered. She really felt that Lu Shifeng was sometimes very pitiful. He had been compared to him since he was a child, so that even Pei Ziheng from the house next door could be pulled out as an imaginary enemy before he was married. However, she was wary after laughing. Lu Shifeng was taught by the old man at the beginning, and the iceberg was as cold and unkind, so she didn’t want her Xiaohan to become like that.
“What is in the box?” So she asked.
The old man said: “Granddaughter, don’t worry, it’s a good thing.”
Where can Su Xingyu feel relieved? Can’t help but glance at Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng said concisely: “Heirlooms.”
“Is it a baby?” The young Xiao Han struggled with the box and listened to the conversation of several adults with his ears. He raised his head and cut in with bright eyes.
“You can just open it and see.” Lu Shifeng didn’t say much to his son either.
So the little guy continued to struggle with his eyes shining brightly. After a few minutes, he saw that he didn’t know how to loose the box, and a shaded lid was opened to reveal the contents.
“Wow! What a beautiful little tiger!” Xiao Han exclaimed happily.
In the quaint sandalwood box, there is a small tiger carved from black jade quietly. It is the size of a baby’s fist. The carving is exquisite and lifelike. Especially the eyes are very smart. When Xiaohan looks at it, it feels like The little tiger is also looking at himself.
“It’s so cute,” Xiao Han said happily, “Thank you Grandpa Grandpa!”
The old man’s face turned into a flower with a smile.
He turned his head and didn’t forget to spur Lu Shifeng: “Shifeng, your son seems to be better than you. It took you half an hour to open this box, Xiaohan, less than ten minutes!” Only the box was uploaded by Lu Jiazu. It has a very clever mechanism, and ordinary children may not be able to open it after several days. And this box has become one of the first criteria for testing the qualifications of the Lu Family heirs. To be the Lu Family heir, you must know a lot of knowledge about equipment assembly, even if you are not proficient, you must know it.
And Xiao Han, did a great job.
Lu Shifeng didn’t refute his grandfather’s words. In fact, he was surprised. Xiaohan’s hands-on ability had always been weak. Even in the secret warehouse in the backyard of this villa, it would take him a long time to open a lock. It would be no surprise if the box today was replaced by Xiao Ju and opened so quickly, but if it was replaced by Xiao Han, it would be a big surprise.
“How did you do it?” he asked Xiaohan.
Xiaohan blinked a pair of watery eyes and said, “I don’t know, I just opened it by myself after playing with it.”
Playing…
Playing…
I drove it myself…
Lu Shifeng was speechless, what kind of routine is this? This box is definitely not something that ordinary children can play with by accident, otherwise it would not be used as an assessment standard for the Lu family heir. There used to be a direct child, who spent a month fiddling with him every day, but he couldn’t open it, and he was passed on as a laughing stock.
Unbelievable, the old man stared at him and asked: “Did you knock it open by mistake? Didn’t find the law of the box, and didn’t summarize the algorithm?”
“The law…what is…” Xiao Han asked weakly.
The old man went crazy, took the box from Xiaohan’s hand, closed it again, twisted the mechanism a few times, disrupted, and then handed it to Xiaohan: “You open it again.”
Xiaohan fiddled for a while this time, still looking attentive, but still couldn’t open it after a few minutes passed.
The old man’s face is very weird, so he just said, how can there be a monster that can open this box in a few minutes? I think it took him a full hour, no, 59 minutes and 47 seconds! One of his grandson Lu Shifeng’s most proud of, is that he opened this box in half an hour and listed the algorithm accurately. He can be called an unborn genius of the Lu family.
Although he scolded Lu Shifeng for driving too slowly, he was actually very proud of Lu Shifeng in his heart.
Originally thought that Lu Shifeng’s son was more powerful, who knew it was really just a beating right?
The father’s mood seemed to have fallen from heaven to the bottom.
Xiaohan tried hard to open and open, open and open, with a small face full of concentration, not at all embarrassed or impatient.
A group of adults silently watched him drive and drive.
Ten minutes passed…
Twenty minutes passed…
Seeing that Xiaohan was about to surpass Lu Shifeng’s half an hour back then, the old man couldn’t help asking: “Xiaohan, can you do it? There will be no reward for more than half an hour.”
“Isn’t the little tiger in the box just a reward?” the child asked naively.
“Little tiger is,” the old man explained to him, “but the best record of our Lu family’s previous box opening was set by your father. For half an hour, if you can break the record, there will be an extra reward.”
“Extra reward?” Xiao Han’s eyes lit up, “What is it?”
