Chapter 8. Prince Cemetery
This prince was likely a man of many talents. His main tomb alone has three check-in points, one gold and two purple. There's also a blue check-in point in the side hall, a white check-in point at the tomb entrance, and a white check-in point in the center.
Shi Liu guessed that the two purple check-in points were places to acquire skills. Although she had some basic knowledge of calligraphy, she had never even touched the threshold of embroidery. At most, she learned cross-stitch from her roommate when she was bored in college. It was easy to imagine how advanced the gold-level embroidery skills were. She decided not to acquire any skills for the time being. She couldn't learn them and it was tiring!
[I found the check-in area at the entrance to the Prince's Tomb. Do I need to spend 1 check-in point to check in?]
It took 5 points to sign in, and only this 1 point was left. Shi Liu waved his hand and clicked to confirm.
[Successfully signed in at the entrance of the Prince's Tomb. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Prince's Tomb model!]
Shi Liu's mouth twitched. This was completely confusing. She'd signed in at the gate and gotten a model. Why would she need a model of the cemetery? Once Shi Liu retrieved the model from the system space, her thoughts shifted. This wasn't some high-end replica; it was a true collector's item. The entire model was roughly three square meters, and all the ornaments and structures were crafted from jade, jewels, and precious woods. This thing would definitely fetch hundreds of millions in the future.
Shi Liu happily put the model back into the system space, looked at the sign-in area in the middle, and clicked the sign-in button decisively.
[Successful sign-in at the Prince's Tomb. Congratulations to the host for receiving twelve high-quality Hu brushes.]
The Hu brush, also known as the Hu Ying brush, is one of the "Four Treasures of the Study" and is hailed as the "crown of pens." According to the Huzhou Prefecture Chronicle, "During the Yuan Dynasty, Feng Qingke and Lu Wenbao crafted pens. Their local customs led to their refinement, and Hu brushes became world-renowned." "The Feng brushes of Huzhou are unparalleled, and there's also the skilled craftsman Shen Rixin. If you encounter a Huzhou brush, you won't mind paying a fortune." The fact that people are willing to pay thousands of gold coins to buy Hu brushes speaks volumes about their exceptional reputation.
The twelve lake brushes rewarded by the sign-in system are a complete set. Shi Liu knew at a glance that they were of great value, but she was really curious about the origin of these things. Although she had seen many ghosts since she was a child with the old man, she always believed that things follow the principle of conservation of energy, and these things could not have appeared out of thin air.
[Host, rest assured, the items you obtained from the sign-in system will absolutely not harm the interests of others without reason. These items have been damaged by the erosion of time, and the underworld bosses have cast a spell to restore them.]
I see. What this means is that these items would have originally disappeared into the long river of history, but because the underworld bosses needed them, they cast a spell to preserve them. Shi Liu was secretly amazed. This was truly a no-cost business, but it was also a good thing for her.
There were still 3 check-in points left in the account, and Shi Liu was thinking about whether to spend them all. There happened to be a subordinate tomb nearby that interested her.
[I have discovered the tomb of Wang, the Phoenix Dynasty's court tutor. Do you want to spend 3 points to sign in?]
[Palace tutor Wang's tomb sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Palace Etiquette Teaching Course.]
Shi Liu didn't expect that it was another skill. She thought it was a treasure. However, if it was treasure, there were more in the Prince's Tomb. After the white sign-in area was reset, she would come back to try it.
The old man had arranged for someone to teach her etiquette, but she always felt that the teacher lacked a touch of classical charm, and in the end, she only learned enough to pass the test. Now that she had a free palace etiquette teacher, Shi Liu was naturally pleased, and she didn't care about the hard work of the subsequent etiquette training at all. After all, every girl has a princess dream in her heart.
The last check-in point was almost exhausted. Shi Liu estimated that two or three hours had passed. If he stayed any longer, the children from the first month would be worried. Shi Liu touched his bare wrist. It was inconvenient not to have a watch. He could only rely on his own estimation to calculate the time. It was a pity that there was no watch factory in the county. Otherwise, if he went to check in, he might be able to get a watch for free.
As he was walking, Shi Liu stopped. There seemed to be a Dendrobium officinale growing in the crevice of the stone. Its stem was upright and cylindrical, with a blunt and somewhat hooked tip. The base extended downward to form a sheath that embraced the stem, and the edges and midribs were often light purple. The leaf sheaths often had purple spots, and when old, their upper edges loosened from the stem and opened, leaving a ring-shaped iron-blue gap with the nodes.
Pure wild Dendrobium officinale has high medicinal value. Fresh one can be used to make soup, and dried one can be used to make tea. It can improve immunity and, most importantly, it can fight cancer. It is very hard to find in modern times.
Shi Liu once again sighed that Daqing Mountain was a treasure mountain, and he must find time to visit it in the future.
"Aunt, you're back." Zhengyue felt relieved when she saw her aunt. She thought her aunt was lost in the mountains and was scared to death.
"Little one, you worry too much. Be careful that you won't grow tall in the future." Shi Liu pinched her eldest niece's small nose, but felt warm in her heart.
"No way, there is no shorty in our family." Zhengyue will not be fooled.
Shi Liu didn't expect the little guy to be so confident, but after thinking carefully about the height of the people in the Shi family, she had to say that Zhengyue's words were not nonsense. All the men were over 180cm tall, and the shortest woman was 160cm tall. This height was simply unparalleled in this era.
When she got home, Su Sanlan had already finished work. When she saw her daughter, she hurried forward to look her over and said, "Why do you need to go digging wild vegetables? They are used to doing this during the first month of the lunar year. You can just rest at home."
Shi Liu intimately took her mother's arm and walked into the yard: "I'm free anyway, so I might as well go for a walk in the mountains. By the way, Mom, I dug up some Dendrobium officinale. The county town buys Dendrobium officinale, and the price is not cheap." It's a pity that she didn't know the relevant planting techniques of Dendrobium officinale. As far as she knew, most of the Dendrobium officinale in later generations were artificially cultivated.
"Oh, my daughter is really amazing. Others wore out their shoes but didn't find anything good—"
"My luck comes from my mother."
"No, your mother was very lucky when she was young. She could always pick up good things when she went up the mountain."
In fact, Su Sanlan was just bragging, but the children at home didn't know the truth, and they all looked at their grandmother with admiration.
Unfortunately, she gave birth to a stupid boy.
Brother Shi said in surprise: "Mom, why don't I remember you picking up good things? Go to the top of the mountain and pick up more firewood."
Pomegranate: "Ahem—" Others betrayed their father, and she, the eldest brother, betrayed her mother.
Sister-in-law Liu Guihua looked exhausted, wondering how such a smart person could marry such a fool. "You're the only one who knows about this? Didn't you see that the second brother and the others didn't say anything?" Seeing her mother-in-law's dark face, her heart trembled.
As a result, as soon as Brother Shi finished speaking, Brother Shi also nodded. As for the remaining two brothers, they were already laughing so hard that they fell over.
Su Sanlan was tired. How could she give birth to such a terrible son? He was not as caring as her daughter.
