my mountain and river space

Chapter 13
A box full of gold, all of which are gold bricks, is slightly reddish. Xu Ling knows that this is determined by the impurities contained in the purified gold of the Ming Dynasty, which is already very good.

Opening another box, it was also gold, but this box contained gold ingots, the kind held in the hands of the God of Wealth. They were very neat, with two layers and neatly stacked in the box.

First put the two boxes into the space.When the third box was opened, it was similar to what Xu Ling thought. This box was made of silver ingots with two layers. The silver had already turned black, and the surface layer should have been oxidized.Open another box, it's also silver, the same silver ingots, put these two boxes in the space, even if it ends here, Xu Ling's trip is worthwhile.But since there are still, let's take a look.

This fifth box is a bit strange. It looks like gold, but it doesn't have the luster of gold. Moreover, although this gold brick-like thing is also reddish, the weight is wrong when I pick it up.Looking at this thing and thinking for a moment, Xu Ling remembered another thing from the Ming Dynasty: the Xuande furnace.The material for casting Xuande furnace is red copper.

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, in order to satisfy his hobby of enjoying incense burners, he ordered to import a batch of red copper from Siam, and ordered the royal craftsman Lu Zhen and the Minister of Industry Wu Bangzuo to refer to the firewood kiln, Ru kiln, and official kiln in the imperial palace. Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln, Ding Kiln famous porcelain styles, and historical records such as "Xuanhe Bogu Tulu" and "Archaeological Map", designed and supervised the production of incense burners.In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and went through more than ten careful casting and refining together with red copper.

The finished copper incense burner is crystal clear and warm in color and is a treasure among Ming Dynasty handicrafts. The successful casting of Xuande furnace set a precedent for later generations of copper furnaces. For a long period of history, Xuande furnace became the general name of copper incense burner.In Xuande's three years, he used this batch of red copper to open a furnace and cast a total of [-] incense burners. They were never produced again. These Xuande incense burners were hidden deep in the Forbidden Palace, and ordinary people only knew their names but did not see their shapes.

After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the real copper incense burner cast in Xuande for three years is extremely rare.

As for the last box, Xu Ling guessed that it might be the Xuande Furnace, because all the red copper appeared. This thing is specially provided by the royal family, and it should be recorded if it is taken.Maybe this tomb belongs to the two Jinshi of the Liu family, and they were probably important officials who had access to the emperor.

Open the sixth one, as expected, and there are more than one, the two are side by side, covered with some straw, touch it, the straw has been ashes.Picking up a copper stove and looking carefully, Xu Ling himself did not expect that he now has two of this deified thing. Together, it should be conclusive.

Putting away the two boxes, Xu Ling walked towards the location of the coffin. You can tell the things next to it without looking. They must be things used by the master during his lifetime, some bottles, jars, and tin wine jugs, but Xu Ling took a fancy to them. Such an exquisite thing, a ceramic jug with pine trees, cranes, the sun, and rocks painted on the body of the bottle. This should be the pattern of Taishan crane pine welcoming the sun, which is very poetic.The six cups should match the wine jug. After putting them into the space, Xu Ling took them out to have a look. No, this is not from the Ming Dynasty. Judging by the color and style of the paint on the outside, this guy can’t be Yuan blue and white. Well, if it is Yuan blue and white, it will be terrible.However, the Ming Dynasty also imitated Yuan blue and white, and Xu Ling didn't know if it was true or not until it was appraised.There is also a large ceramic tray, which is round, and the tray used to serve several pots of vegetables in rural areas is rectangular.Most of them are made of wood. I didn’t expect to see a ceramic one here, which is very exquisite.I took another 10 bowls stacked together, maybe others will find it a bit difficult to accept, how can the things used by the dead be reused, but think about it, even the tri-colored Tang Dynasty buried in the coffin of the tomb owner is used to watch, not to mention This is outside the tomb.And now it is used as a work of art, not for drinking and eating, so others are reluctant.

After another glance, um, I found another strange thing, a stone pillow. When Xu Ling picked it up and cleaned the dust with his hands, he found that it was not made of stone. It was a porcelain pillow, also in the color of Yuan blue and white. It's so lifelike, it's a woman breastfeeding her twins, Xu Ling is so sweaty.Looking at the circular opening at the bottom, I found a small crack inside, but it couldn't be seen from the outside. No wonder the owner of the tomb didn't put it in the box.

There was nothing interesting about the rest, at this moment Xu Ling turned his attention to the stone wall, there were four big boxes and 10 small boxes on it.

Put the ten small boxes into the space first, and leave them alone, probably not as precious as those in the big boxes.Put it away with mental strength first, because the four boxes are a bit high.Then put it on the flat ground, the first one to open it turned out to be a book, damn, Xu Ling almost scolded her, Xu Ling recognized the material of this box, 14 big and small are all made of golden nanmu, this is a precious wood, Even in the Ming Dynasty, you wouldn't be able to afford it unless you were rich and powerful.

He took out a book and looked through it. Xu Ling turned his eyes. It is estimated that they are all books used for Ming Dynasty exams such as the collection of classics and history and Confucian classics. .However, when I turned to the bottom page, it was an older font.Fortunately, there was something waterproof and moisture-absorbent under the box, otherwise it would have been destroyed. After all, this page was too old, and Xu Ling didn't recognize any of the characters on it.

"Paper, ancient, shit, the Song Dynasty used paper on a large scale, and it is impossible for me not to know the characters of the Song Dynasty!" Only then did Xu Ling realize that even if the book is from the Tang Dynasty, he can even recognize the cursive script of the Tang Dynasty. Impossible not to know ah.Before the Tang Dynasty?Please, that can only be called straw paper, okay?How can there be such a beautiful paper.

Since I don’t know, let’s ignore it and open a bigger one. Fortunately, Xu Ling was not disappointed this time. It was a set of jade wares, a jade pot, a jade cup, and a jade ruler that he probably used when he was a husband. , about 30 cm long, emerald green, crystal clear, and the water head is very good.The jade pot and jade cup are also good jade, probably Kunlun white jade.Because at that time, people in the Ming Dynasty had a soft spot for Kunlun white jade.

There was a set of large goldware in the third big box. "Your sister, it's too luxurious." The moment he saw it, even Xu Ling, who thought he was quite well-mannered, couldn't help but curse.

A gold table is about 10 centimeters high, about 40 centimeters long, and at least 20 centimeters wide. On the table are pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which are made of gold. There is also a lifelike unicorn paperweight, pure gold with red, like A fire unicorn. "Are all the people who studied and became officials in the Ming Dynasty so rich?" Xu Ling couldn't help but wonder.Sure enough, it is the last best time for scholars.

"Good guy, don't put your family in this last box. If it's made of pure gold, it'll be rich as hell."

But when he opened the fourth big box, Xu Ling didn't react for a long time.

Sure enough, I was guessed right. The four-way courtyard is full of gold and wood, local tyrants and state-owned wood. Shen Wansan probably has to kneel in front of this, not to mention the houses and characters. , pavilions, pavilions, rockery, everything is available, even flowers and plants, small bridges, flowing water, ponds, fish, everything that should be there, and what should not be, such as horses at the gate, sedan chairs, kitchens, and even chimneys. Yes, the floors are all made of gold. What is this? You can use gold, but never silver.This is all made by that person, so... , Xu Ling didn’t even know what to say.

It is probably a private craftsman. If someone else knows about this creation, it is estimated that the head will not be safe.Maybe the private craftsman was killed by this guy as soon as it was built.The dead are always safer than the living.

Ten smaller boxes, four of which contain gold, silver, and jade jewelry for women.It is also extremely exquisite.The remaining six are all porcelain, two medium-sized and four small.It shouldn't be too bad if it can be placed in a nanmu box.

After putting away his things, Xu Ling was also ready to leave.
