Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Jewelry Street is on the other side of Spice Street, across a street of restaurants.

And because the goods bought and sold are all valuables, there are many soldiers patrolling around here, and all of them are very vigilant. This is the same as where there is a bank in later generations, it must be a linked unit!

Moreover, Qin State does not produce jewelry, and most of them are sold from other countries. However, when Lu Buwei became Prime Minister, his jewelry store became the first choice for some nobles to buy jewelry.

Therefore, the largest jewelry store is opened by Lu Buwei's Wenxinhou Mansion. It is very large and has more customers than other stores.

Ordinary people can't afford such things as jewelry. Spices can be used at least when they are burning, and the fragrance is spread over a large area, but jewelry can only be used by women more and men less. There is no other use.

Don't think about value preservation and the like in the late Warring States period!

Because at this time, even the king may not be able to preserve his value!

Big and small vassal states, today they are fighting, tomorrow maybe you will be wiped out by someone who doesn't know where it came from!

So in the Warring States period, Li Jiyang was very glad that he became a member of the Qin State, and other countries would sooner or later be the result of their demise!

"This jewelry store is the largest jewelry store in Xianyang City. There is no better jewelry than theirs!" Yang Feiying still has this confidence. He has been to the capitals of other countries and visited there. There are all kinds of luxuries here, but they are really not as good as the things here at Lu Xiangbang's house.

Last time Li Jiyang went to an ordinary shop on the edge of the inner city, but now this one is the best, he thinks it should give Li Jiyang some insight.

"It's really big." Li Jiyang felt that the area occupied by a jewelry store was three times the size of other people's shops, and he didn't know how much gold and silver jewelry was filled in it. It's the attitude of the big shop to bully customers.

There are one or two people in other people's stores, which are still deserted, but the door of this store is open, and more than a dozen people can chat in full swing inside!

Li Jiyang laughed when he listened carefully, half of these people were wealthy and half were ordinary people, and those ordinary people didn't look at jewelry, but were talking about how to govern the country!

Everyone seems to be such a powerful national scholar, and they are not afraid of flashing their tongues when they speak big words!

It may be that Li Jiyang's dislike was too obvious at this moment, Yang Feiying explained in a low voice with a wry smile: "These people all want to join Wenxinhou's mansion as disciples, and they are here just to have the opportunity to show their strengths."

Li Jiyang looked at Yang Feiying strangely: Don't tell me you are also a disciple like this?

"I'm different from them!" Yang Feiying immediately disregarded the relationship.

Li Jiyang was half-believing, and it was to give him face, so he didn't pursue it to the end, but turned around and looked at the products in this jewelry store.

The first floor is mostly made of bronze, gold, silver, wood, etc., and the hairpins are the most, and they are very long, because women's hair is indeed longer than men's at this time, and there are some good things in the wooden products, such as A very cleverly carved wooden hairpin, two strands, the knot on the head should be a knot, carved into the shape of a flower, very delicate.

Li Jiyang took it off, and compared it to Chao Chunya's head: "This is better than the one I bought that day."

"Hmm!" Chunya looked at Muchai with bright eyes.

So Li Jiyang bought this and gave it directly to Chunya. Chunya kept three of the things she bought back last time, and the rest were distributed to the aunts and sisters-in-law who were close to her in Lijiazhuang.

He also told them that the young master bought it for Li Jiyang, and made Li Jiyang a big face. The men in the village were all laughing, but they worked harder.

Otherwise, during the spring plowing, although there is a new type of plow stick, it will not end so quickly.

"It's all ordinary goods here, let's go to the top to see." Yang Feiying took Li Jiyang up to the second floor with ease.

The second floor is smaller than the first floor, but the things are good!

As soon as Li Jiyang went upstairs, he found out that good things can't be placed on the ordinary first floor. There are many small tables on the second floor, and there are jewels on them.

There are pearls as big as sparrow eggs, gold hairpins with exquisite workmanship, necklaces inlaid with gemstones, various jade ornaments, and even a beautiful jade ring with a beautiful phoenix embossed on it.

This is no longer something ordinary people can use.

And the people here are only two or three kittens, and they are all female!

She was accompanied by a servant girl, dressed luxuriously, and had exquisite jewelry. At first glance, she looked like a female family member from a family that was either an official or an expensive family!

It doesn't mean that you are rich or you are expensive, because in this era, the class is very clear, so what if you are rich?Some things are in vain if you have money but no power!

Without a good family background, you are rich. You can afford all these things. Do you dare to buy them?You can’t even wear it after you buy it!

Unless you are buying and selling, but in that case, you must be a merchant of a commodity, such as a jeweler, a medicine merchant, and so on.

Once you enter a commercial bank, it will be different, you will be born a level lower than a human being!

Therefore, easy people do not enter the business, for fear of being a head shorter than others.

Li Jiyang glanced at the good things on top, and found that there were armbands!

It was also found in the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty before. I didn't expect this kind of thing to exist at the end of the Warring States Period. It was a pair of exquisite gold-studded gemstone armlets, which looked extremely luxurious.

"This beautiful arm, the dancer matches it, you win!" Yang Feiying thought that Li Jiyang had never seen this thing before, so she hurriedly introduced it to him.

This thing is usually prepared for dancers, that is, only dancers and the like can use it. Women from decent and good families will not wear it with their arms exposed, because during the Warring States period, the costumes of different countries were different. But none of them showed their arms!

Except for the Huns outside the pass.

Or other foreigners.

"I just think that this bracelet is well made, inlaid with gold and treasures." Li Jiyang pointed to the bracelet: "The workmanship is good."

Not only is it good!

He remembered the pair of armlets unearthed by the archaeologists back then, which seemed to be bronze?Anyway, it looks quite simple, not so luxurious.

Several ladies looked at them.

"What do you think of this pair of earrings?" Yang Feiying asked Li Jiyang, pointing to a pair of delicate gold and jade earrings.

"It's not bad." Li Jiyang glanced at it. The pair of gold and jade earrings were engraved with the pattern of spirit birds. The upper ones were made of gold and the lower ones were made of white jade. They were actually very pretty.

The main reason is that people who can have this kind of craftsmanship in this era can already be called masters.

Although many things are underdeveloped in this era due to wars among countries, craftsmen are getting stronger and better from generation to generation.

The Eight Swords of Qin and the Eight Swords of Han studied by later generations have been studied for a long time.

Li Jiyang said the words "it's not bad", which made Yang Feiying choke. He thought that this pair of gold and jade earrings was hard to come by, and wanted to show off to Li Jiyang that pearls are not as good as Li Jiyang's. This is already a level worthy of tribute.

Li Jiyang actually got the words "it's okay"!

There is also a suffix "bar"!

"Whose young master is this? Such a big tone?" A lady couldn't bear it.

She fell in love with the pair of gold and jade earrings the first time she came, and thought about buying them, but the store didn't sell them!

This store is owned by Wenxin Hou Lu Xiangbang, she is not good at taking it away, so she has to ask the servant to go home and tell her grandson that there are good things here, let him come!

As a result, while waiting, she found that someone looked down on what she liked. Whose family is this little boy?Too much breath!

Just scanned Li Jiyang with his eyes: "How many good things have you seen? You think this earring is ordinary?"

"It's just a very common thing." Li Jiyang didn't let people know at all, he came here today to spoil the situation: "This kind of thing is kept at my husband's house, and even... ahem, I usually don't wear it, because it doesn't look good."

"It's not good-looking, so what is good-looking?" Yang Feiying felt that Li Jiyang was a little too much.

"At least the color of this gold is impure, and the jade carving is acceptable, but its texture is opaque, showing some traces of artificial ingenuity, but it loses its natural jade luster." Li Jiyang's words were purely nitpicking. It is said that when a pair of gold and jade earrings were unearthed during the archaeology, another instructor said that what they were archaeologically was the tomb of a small nobleman.

Most of the unearthed things are pottery, gold, silver and jade are rare, and none of them are top-grade.

On the contrary, pottery products are more valuable for research. A pair of bronze open-top bottles, which were very rare at that time, were unearthed inside. According to research, they were vases for arranging flowers!

"Such a good thing is already hard to come by." Yang Feiying lacked confidence on the side, and the best jade was of course offered to the king and presented to the Qin Palace.

It is already Lu Buwei's masterpiece to have such a small amount of white jade earrings, and this white jade comes from the same piece of jade as a pair of jade discs, but the good ones are of course carved into jade discs as a tribute, and the remaining such a large piece is already Lu Xiangbang. I said hello in advance, so I left such a pair of earrings.

Jade has a little flaw, but ordinary people can't see it, Yang Feiying can know it because it's just a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiyang pointed it out.

In fact, Li Jiyang was purely deluded!

"Yeah, such a good thing is indeed rare!" A voice sounded abruptly.

Li Jiyang turned his head to look, and felt that he really stepped on shit today!

When the visitor saw Li Jiyang, his face turned pale. This guy is everywhere!

When the lady saw the person coming, she greeted him with a smile: "Young Master, did you come out to play?"

"Grandma, you're here too!" Young Master Cheng Jiao heard Li Jiyang's words and grandma's dissatisfied tone before he came up.

"Yes, I saw a pair of earrings today and I want to buy them for your mother." The lady was very satisfied, and her grandson came to support her.

She is not worthy of buying such a precious thing, but her grandson can, right?

As soon as Li Jiyang heard this address, he knew who the person in front of him was, it turned out to be Mr. Cheng Jiao's grandmother, Mrs. Wang Jiao's biological mother!

It's really a narrow road for enemies!

He doesn't know, the narrower one is behind!

Yang Feiying's complexion turned pale when she heard it, who couldn't see it?This Mrs. Wang took a fancy to this pair of earrings and wanted to buy them for Mrs. Wang Jiao in the palace!

During these days, Mrs. Wang Jiao's life is really difficult!

"These earrings are indeed very good. Judging from the texture, they seem to be similar to the pair of jade bis in the palace." The pair of jade bis was gifted to him by the king's father!

Because he reads well!

In fact, he held his breath and competed with Ying Zheng!

In the end, he still won, so he begged for a pair of jade bi!

Because jade bis represented objects of sacrifice, if he got a pair of jade bis, wouldn't it mean that he was qualified to sacrifice?

Generally speaking, only the king and the future king are eligible for sacrifices.

He wanted to secretly demonstrate to Ying Zheng, who told Ying Zheng that although he was not the first son, he was the eldest son!

Hearing what he said, Yang Feiying's heart skipped a beat. He knew the origin of this pair of gold and jade earrings. If he bought them back, he compared them and found that they were the same piece of jade...

However, Li Jiyang turned his head and looked at the other side. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, metal processing had mastered techniques such as welding, mortise and tenon riveting, engraving, inlaying, gilding, hollowing out, lost wax casting, and gold and silver inlays. Production, but here, is not lacking.

It was a comb made of gold, in the shape of a half moon. The teeth under the comb were hollowed out, while the top was inlaid with red gemstones, forming a small flower shape.

Li Jiyang thinks, this is not bad...
