Chapter 678 Two thousand taels?
Song Chuman suddenly said, "Sister Xiaorui, can you show us that dagger?"
"sure."
Shen Hanrui immediately took down the dagger and handed it to Song Chuman readily.
Song Chuman drew out the dagger and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a good sword."
After saying that, she handed the sword to her brother again.
Song Chuhuai took the sword, pulled it out and looked at it, "It looks very sharp."
Chen Tangyu said, "It is indeed very sharp. I heard that my father had the most famous blacksmith in the capital forge it for my eldest brother on his twelfth birthday. I heard that just for this sword, including the gems on it, it cost two thousand taels of silver."
Two thousand taels?
Just for a sword?
Aren’t you afraid of losing it?
And wouldn’t you feel disgusted if this sword was stained with other people’s blood?
Should I change it again when the time comes?
Prince Gongxuan’s Palace is indeed wealthy and powerful.
Hearing that the sword was worth two thousand taels, Song Chuhuai was worried that he would have to pay compensation if he broke it, so he quickly put the sword back into the scabbard and returned it to Shen Hanrui.
Song Hexiu said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to take a look too."
Shen Hanrui handed it to him again.
Song Hexiu saw the sword and examined it carefully. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, he pressed a ruby on the sword.
After the gem was pressed, a hole appeared on the hilt of the dagger, and something that looked like a bead fell out of the hole.
Song Chuman was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She quickly reached out and caught the "bead" without letting it roll away.
Seeing this, Song Hexiu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I don't know why, I just pressed it. I'm really sorry."
Shen Hanrui and Shen Tangyu were not angry at all. Instead, they stared at Song Hexiu in amazement.
They spent a long time studying the mechanism on the sword before they found it.
It was not for any other reason, but because the gem that Song Hexiu pressed was the most inconspicuous and smallest gem.
If you don't control the strength well, you won't be able to press it down.
Song Hexiu was able to find it as soon as he arrived and succeeded in one go. There was only one possibility, that he was the owner of this sword!
Song Hexiu put the "bead" in and tried pressing the gem he had just pressed, and the mechanism returned to its original state.
The strength is just right.
Chen Tangyu suppressed his inner excitement and asked, "Brother Song, how did you know this sword has a mechanism?"
Song Hexiu spoke frankly, "I don't know. When I got the sword and saw the gem, I wanted to press it. I don't know why I did that. I'm sorry, luckily the 'bead' wasn't lost, otherwise I would have to go to your eldest brother's grave to apologize in person."
"So that's how it is." Chen Tangyu said, "It's okay. The 'bead' you mentioned isn't really a bead, but a life-extending pill. My father was worried that my eldest brother would be young and impulsive at the time and get into conflict with others, so he put the life-extending pill in it. Whether he gets hurt or hurts others, it will come in handy."
Chen Hanrui said, "Originally, there were more than ten life-extending pills in it, but when I was young and ignorant, I sneaked in to play and lost most of them. I only kept one pill. However, after so many years, that pill should not be edible anymore, so it doesn't matter if it is lost. Our palace will hire people to refine a lot every year, and we can just put it back in."
