Gu Peng was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.
Although the ancient martial arts inheritance families do not care about false reputation, there is still competition, whether overt or covert, among the ancient martial arts inheritance families. If what he brings out at this tasting session can surpass that of the other four families, it will be a honor for their Gu family.
Guchuan brought the wooden box to the center of the room and placed it on the mahogany table. Gupeng walked up to the table and said with a smile, "I wouldn't take this treasure out easily. If Chuan'er hadn't brought back something else this time, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out. Today, I'll show you this treasure that has been passed down in our Gu family for hundreds of years!"
As he spoke, Gu Peng opened the wooden box and carefully took out a palm-sized object from it. It looked like a token.
Feng Jue and the other three were curious and came over to see what it was that made Gu Peng take it so seriously.
After walking in, the four of them took a breath.
"Could this be?"
"Waist badge?"
"Jinyiwei waist badge!!"
Seeing the reactions of Feng Jue and the other three, Gu Peng felt quite proud and raised the thing in his hand.
"Please look, everyone! This is something that has been passed down through the generations in our Gu family. It's the badge of a thousand-household member of the Jinyiwei during the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty!"
Feng Jue and the other three looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The origin of the Gu family is actually related to the Jinyiwei?
More than ten years ago, when Gu Peng was young, he had talked about this matter, but at that time they just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.
The Jinyiwei happened hundreds of years ago. What’s the point of talking about it now?
More importantly, Gu Peng had no strong evidence to prove that their Gu family had any connection with the Jinyiwei, so Gu Peng never mentioned this topic again after he hit a wall.
Even though the five ancient martial arts families have always maintained contact with each other, the competition between them has never stopped.
It is difficult to tell who is better in terms of attainments in ancient martial arts. After all, they are all large families with a long history. Unless something unexpected happens, they all have strong foundations and will not show them easily. But in addition to attainments in ancient martial arts, they can also compete in other aspects, such as the tasting session held today.
A tasting session is not just about everyone getting together and sharing good things, but also about ranking things based on how precious they are. Whoever brings out things that convince everyone is naturally superior and has won face.
In addition to the tasting session, family origins will also become a capital for showing off. Not to mention the Gu family, the other four families have also thought of ways to increase the depth of their families, but they have never achieved any results. So when Gu Peng took out the Jinyiwei badge, Feng Jue and the other three were stunned.
After fighting for so many years, they were still suppressed by the Gu family.
As long as Gu Peng can prove that this waist badge really belongs to their Gu family's ancestor, then the history of the Gu family can be traced back to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, which is hundreds of years of inheritance!
Shen Qi was also surprised when he heard Gu Peng's words. He didn't expect that the Gu family had such a connection.
However, someone soon raised doubts, and Meng Shan suddenly said, "Brother Gu, logically speaking, I shouldn't doubt your words, but you also know that there are some questions that cannot be avoided even if I don't say them. Brother Gu, please explain them to us so that we can also open our eyes."
Gu Peng had anticipated such a question and said with a smile, "Everyone, please look!"
"The inscription on the front of this waist badge represents the identity of the holder, and on the back is the word 'Gu', which means the holder's surname is Gu. Moreover, this waist badge has been collected by our Gu family and passed down from generation to generation. There is absolutely no doubt about this. If you don't believe it, you can come up and check it out for yourself to see if this waist badge is really from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty!"
Meng Shan took a step forward, took the badge from Gu Peng and examined it carefully, his expression becoming more serious.
The waist badge is exquisitely crafted, and even after hundreds of years, you can still see that a lot of thought was put into its production.
There is no flaw in the engraving on the waist badge, and it is completely consistent with the font used during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the material, it is actually made of ivory. After hundreds of years, the ivory material has undergone some changes. From these changes, it can be concluded that this waist badge is indeed hundreds of years old.
Meng Shan returned the badge to Gu Peng and said, "Congratulations, Brother Gu! But I still have a question. Since your Gu family already has this badge, why didn't you take it out earlier so that everyone can see it?"
Gu Peng smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you may not know this waist badge, which has been treasured in our Gu family for a long time. Although it is extremely valuable, it seems to have no other use besides some symbolic meaning. So I didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until a few days ago when Chuan'er bought the Flying Fish Robe and Embroidered Spring Sword from Mr. Shen Qi that I remembered I had this waist badge, so I took it out."
"By the way, Chuan'er, take out the Feiyu suit and the Embroidered Spring Sword that you bought from Mr. Shen Qi and let the heads of the families take a look."
"yes!"
With obvious pride on his face, Furukawa took out the Feiyu suit and Xiuchun sword from the next room. They were the ones he bought at the auction.
This time, everyone's attention was attracted to the Feiyu suit and the Xiuchun sword. They observed and studied them carefully and praised them highly.
Gu Peng felt quite proud when he saw everyone's reaction.
After so many years, he finally surpassed Feng Jue and the other three in this matter.
