Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Chapter 223 Ziwu Mandarin Duck Lock

The four corners of the box are inlaid with jade.

These jades are full of water, emerald green all over, without a trace of impurities. If these few pieces of jade were taken out individually, they would be enough to fetch sky-high prices on the market.

Looking at the side of the box, one can see that the long-lost inlay technique is used to inlay various gemstones such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, agate, etc. into a carefully designed pattern to create an auspicious scene.

These gems are colorful and intertwined with each other, and every inlay is seamless and flawless.

Lin Panpan laughed and said, "Just this box alone can be sold for a sky-high price..."

"Ah? I can't see anything from this box?" Lin Feng expressed his confusion.

Lin Panpan sighed and said, "Young man, that's why you need to study more!"

According to conservative estimates, this box would cost at least 500 million.

She was confused. She looked down at the lock on the dowry box and frowned, "Ziwu Mandarin Duck Lock?"

Lin Weihua scratched his head and asked, "What kind of lock is this? What mandarin duck?"

"The Ziwu Mandarin Duck Lock is composed of two parts, the upper and the lower, like a pair of mandarin ducks, neither of which can be missing.

To unlock the door, you need to insert two special keys into the upper and lower keyholes at the same time at a specific time, namely midnight or noon.

The tooth marks of the two keys are different, and they fit together with the mortise and tenon structure inside the lock.

If it's not the right time, or the key is slightly off, the lock will be locked tightly, not moving at all." Lin Panpan said calmly.

Lin Feng said speechlessly: "Doesn't that mean we can't open it at all?"

Lin Panpan's eyes narrowed into crescents. She tilted her head slightly and said crisply, "If I want to open it, there's no lock I can't open."

Lin Feng looked Lin Panpan up and down:

“You yourself said this lock is difficult to open, how could it be so easy?

Besides, you are not a professional locksmith."

A sly glint flashed in Lin Panpan's eyes: "Then I'll show you my skills today."

Speaking of Lin Panpan's experience of learning lock picking in her previous life, it was truly a coincidence.

In her previous life, when she was taking a walk in the park, she saw an old man huddled in the shadows. She felt pity for him and took him back to the hotel and asked him to help clean up, so that he finally had a place to stay.

At first, no one in the hotel liked him. Once, when an important guest was using a private conference room, the door lock suddenly malfunctioned, trapping him inside.

Everyone gathered at the door of the conference room, anxious like ants on a hot pan, and some people kept calling the maintenance number.

But the reply from the other end of the phone made everyone more anxious, and the maintenance personnel would not arrive for at least two hours.

Just when everyone was at a loss, he slowly stood up and calmly took out several homemade lock-picking tools from the tool bag on his waist.

In just a few minutes, he opened the door.

Later, Lin Panpan often cooked some meals for the old man, and the old man pulled her aside and insisted on teaching her how to open the lock.

She was studying patiently at the time, treating it as a game, but she never knew that it would come in handy in her life.

With a "click", the box was opened. In an instant, jewels and precious stones came to the face. Inside was a dazzling array of ancient jewelry, each piece was exquisite.

At the top is a red gold phoenix crown with nine dragons playing with a pearl. There are nine giant dragons made of pure gold, and the pearls in the dragons' mouths are round and huge.

The phoenix in the center is flapping its wings as if ready to fly, and the red and blue sapphires inlaid all over its body are like burning flames, extremely dazzling.

Next to it is a gold hairpin with a peony pattern and decorated with kingfisher feathers and pearls. The gold threads outline the layers of peony petals, the leaves are fresh and juicy, and the pearls are dotted among them.

Turning the page further down, a pair of tourmaline earrings with the Chinese characters of "Fu Lu Shou Xi" (happiness, wealth, longevity, and happiness) catch the eye. The tourmaline is carved into the characters of "Fu Lu Shou Xi" (happiness, wealth, longevity, and happiness) with bright colors. Paired with lustrous pearls, it symbolizes good luck and is eye-catching.

Next to it lay a gold filigree necklace inlaid with a cat's eye. The gold chain gleamed warmly in the dim light, and the cat's eye inlaid in the middle made the eyeliner lively.

There is also a Hetian mutton-fat jade bracelet, the bracelet is crystal clear and white, without a trace of impurities.

The jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix pattern next to it has a transparent texture, and the emerald green of the jade complements the carved dragon and phoenix shapes.

In the corner of the box, there is a gold ring inlaid with a pigeon's blood ruby. The huge pigeon's blood ruby ​​is firmly supported by a pure gold ring setting and surrounded by diamonds, shining brightly.

Adjacent to it is a pair of emerald feather armor inlaid with pearls and gems. The emerald feathers are bright blue-green in color, and are dotted with pearls and gems, which is luxurious and exquisite.

There is also a Ruyi hairpin inlaid with gold, emerald and jade. The Ruyi-shaped hairpin sways gently, and the emerald and jade complement each other.

The last one is a string of Dongzhu court beads, each of which is round and full.

When Lin Panpan saw this string of Dongzhu court beads, she was dumbfounded. At first she thought this jewelry box belonged to a princess, but now it seems very likely to have belonged to the queen or the empress dowager.

Because the Dongzhu court beads are generally only used by the empress and the empress dowager.

If that's the case, the value of this jewelry box will at least increase several times.

She turned around and looked at the busy people around her, raised her voice and said:

"Okay, everyone has worked hard today, and everyone can get 20 yuan.

Everyone, get to work. I'll put these things in the cab first. They're really valuable."

"Ah? 20 yuan! I'm so generous..."

"That's right! One day's work is equivalent to a month's work for others. That's great. I want to go to work every day."

These were all villagers, so Lin Panpan was naturally generous. In the whole day, she only found this big box full of valuables.

As for what they found later, they were all bits and pieces of scrap metal that were completely useless.

Early the next morning, a burst of rapid car horns broke the morning tranquility.

Lin Panpan was still asleep when she was abruptly woken up by the sound.

She looked at Zhang Xiang at the door with sleepy eyes and a dissatisfied look on her face, muttering, "Hey! Why are you honking the horn so early in the morning?"

Zhang Xiang didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and said directly:

"I'm in a hurry! Hurry up, let's go and complete the formalities first. I'll take you to see the second black market later.

This time it’s a little bigger than the last time, and all of them have shops.

This time the government is taking it seriously, but if you want to do business this time, you have to buy a shop."

"Buying a shop? Is the government planning to do something big this time?"

Zhang Xiang nodded and said:

"Yes, this is actually an opportunity for us. Think about it! Dalian is close to the sea and has a superior geographical location. It is a natural trade hub.

Creating such a street specifically to attract merchants and goods from all over the place can not only revitalize the economy but also enrich the lives of our people, killing two birds with one stone.

So I want to ask you, are you planning to buy some shops?"
