I contracted this sea [Live]

The box is full of gold hairpins, jade hairpins, brow wiping earrings, pendants, and bracelets. Although the dowry box is not too big, it is surprising that such a box is full of jewelry.

What's more, anyone who knows a little bit can see that these jewelry are not made by modern technology. Most of them use hollow carving and other exquisite carving techniques. The shape of each piece of jewelry is very graceful and luxurious. I know that it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Although Gao Yu and the others are not good at learning, they have been in the antique industry for many years. They can't tell which master's handwriting these jewelry are, but they can tell the difference at a glance.

After a few people glanced at each other, their expressions became serious. Obviously, they already felt that these jewelry had extraordinary origins, and they were probably all antique objects that opened the door.

"Third brother, where did you... come from?" Gao Yu asked eagerly.

Ao Bing said solemnly: "It was robbed from the East."

Everyone in the box: ...

Gao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop talking nonsense, these are typical ancient handicrafts of the Hua Kingdom, and they should all be popular jewelry styles in the Qing Dynasty. How could it be something from the East? This thing is left by our ancestors. Do those little devils in Toyo have a fart relationship?"

Ao Bing was helpless, why no one believed the truth, he simply waved his hand and said: "Then you don't have to ask where it came from, anyway, it's the right way, it's not some stolen goods. Why, you see these Is the origin of the thing? All right, your eyesight has improved!"

Gao Yu immediately raised his hands to surrender, and said with a bitter face:

"Don't make fun of me, what do I see? I just know that this thing must be an antique. I can guess this style and craftsmanship. It must be a relatively common style of jewelry in the Qing Dynasty. But what is the origin? I This is completely unreasonable, and it is no different from you pure laymen."

At this time, Yu Chengyang, who had been silent over there, suddenly said:

"I know! This is something made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is a palace decoration that is rewarded to the empresses in the palace and the imperial family wives. Such things are usually a complete set, but this box is quite messy. These accessories Belonging to different grades, they are all mixed together, but in fact, these things should have been matched with a series of cumbersome accessories such as headgear, palace beads and armor."

As soon as these words came out, the others were stunned. Gao Yu looked towards Yu Chengyang in surprise:

"how do you know?"

Yu Chengyang cast a sideways glance at Gao Yu: "Why can't I know? My grandma has one of these boxes, otherwise why did I just ask the third child to show me that box, because I think this thing It looks familiar! Don’t you know where my grandma was born?”

Gao Yu nodded immediately: "I know, the old lady is a disciple of the Eight Banners who is serious about the Eight Classics, and the old Gege who is the Yellow Banner. It is said that he was almost selected to serve the last emperor?"

"Nonsense, you just went to serve the last emperor! It's all rumors spread by others. When my grandma was an adult, Puyi was a bad old man. She became a puppet emperor and fled everywhere. What a fart to serve!"

Yu Chengyang rolled his eyes, and retorted angrily, "But she was indeed an accompanist to Wangfu Gege in the palace back then, and then there was chaos outside, the Japanese army invaded, and the whole capital was in chaos. My grandma That family fled to Jin City with the whole family, and she had such a dowry box in her hand, it is said that before she escaped from Beijing City, the prince's mansion forced it to her."

"Her box contains a whole set of hair masks, which are the accessories worn by Prince Gege in the palace on weekdays. According to my grandma, the hair masks were made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the past, they belonged to the imperial gifts. None of the pieces can be lost or damaged. If there is a problem, it needs to be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in time, otherwise the superiors will be punished. If it weren't for the chaos in the capital at that time, the emperor would have become a puppet. My grandma, my grandma may not even dare to accept it."

Ao Bing thought of the gold-plated copper vats he found under the sunken ship, so many cultural relics and treasures flowed out of the Forbidden City, so it is not surprising that the dowry box he found was something in the palace.

After all, the dowry box he found was also found on that shipwreck. It must have been the property that an oriental army on the ship had plundered in the capital at that time. It is unknown what is collected from the library.

But in short, with Yu Chengyang's words, Ao Bing has a little understanding of the things he found. At least he knows that these things are not cheap, and keeping them for his sister is not considered falling for his brother. name.

"Is this box exactly the same as your grandma's box?" Du Bin asked suddenly.

Yu Chengyang shook his head: "Not sure, but this box is the same as my grandma's in terms of carving and materials. My grandma's box is carved out of agarwood, and the outer layer is wrapped with copper skin. It is very heavy in the hand. I looked very similar to the third one, but I didn’t observe and compare it carefully.”

As soon as Ao Ye heard this, he immediately pushed the box towards Yu Chengyang.

Yu Chengyang smiled, and he was not polite, took the box and took out the contents of the box, and then he searched carefully in the box, and after a while, he found it in the inner copper skin of the box. An engraved inscription:

Although the words "Made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs" are faintly blurred, they can still be recognized if you look closely.

"Look, what am I talking about? This thing came out of the palace a hundred years ago!" Yu Chengyang said triumphantly after finding the evidence.

Ao Bing had heard Yu Chengyang say that his grandmother's dowry box was made of agarwood, so he already knew that Yu Chengyang was not lying.

When he dug out this box from the sunken ship before, he found that it was quite heavy. At that time, he thought it was made of copper, so he didn't think much about it, but later he knew that those he fished out After the big water tank was a gilt copper tank, he realized that he had made a mistake.

If this box is really made of copper, it is estimated to be much heavier than the current box. This thing should be covered with a thin layer of copper skin, but if the inside is made of wood, it has sunk to the bottom of the water for so many years. It should have been eroded and rotted by sea water a long time ago, but this box has been soaked for decades and is still intact. Even the jewelry hidden in this box has not been affected much, and it is still so delicate and beautiful. The only explanation is that Because the box is made of special material.

Agarwood is hard and does not float in water, and because of its high density, it will not rot for thousands of years. Even if it is soaked in seawater, it will not be eroded like other woods, so it was found in Ao Bing from the sunken ship. At that time, except for the copper rust on the surface of the box, other parts of the box were still intact, without any signs of decay.

After confirming that these jewelry might really be items used by the empresses in the palace or those clan wives Gege in the palace, the women present were all surprised and unbelievable. Lin Xiutong and Sun Lu had already seen it among these women. There are a lot of people in the world, and now I can't help but be fascinated by these jewelry.

It is true that this kind of ancient jewelry is basically not used for daily wear, except for storing it at home as a collection and display, and occasionally taking it out for eye craving, but this does not stop these women's nature of beauty Ah, no woman would dislike having an extra piece of jewelry in her makeup box, especially such beautiful antique jewelry with exquisite workmanship.

Sun Lu had already looked towards Ao Ye eagerly, and carefully considered her words and asked:

"Xiao Ye, what are you going to do with these jewelry? Do you want to keep them all for yourself? Do you plan to sell them?"

Ao Ye has been dumbfounded for a long time, she is not stupid, from Yu Chengyang's commentary just now, she already knows that the gift her brother prepared for her is of great value, not to mention that these sisters are so envious to her now Looking over, the meaning of "want" in the eyes is not too obvious, it can make these rich people salivate unconsciously, the jewelry in this box is definitely not ordinary.

She also panicked for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards her brother.

Ao Bing smiled and said: "If you give it to you, it's yours. You can do whatever you want."

Ao Ye couldn't help looking at Jin Baozhu again, seeing that Jin Baozhu also nodded encouragingly at her, she bit her lip, and after a long silence, she asked Jin Baozhu:

"Sister Baozhu, is there anything you like here?"

Jin Baozhu was taken aback for a moment, but before he could answer, Ao Ye approached Jin Baozhu's ear blushing and explained in a low voice:

"Let's choose first, pick a few we like and keep them, and let Xiaolu, Sister Qin and Sister Qin choose the rest if they like it."

Jin Baozhu suddenly burst out laughing.

This little girl is so caring, she has been treated as a family member so quickly, and she never forgets to let her pick the jewelry first, this is really...

Jin Baozhu only felt her heart go soft, a warm feeling surged up her chest, she couldn't help reaching out to touch the little girl's head, and said softly:

"I'm not particular about this, I like everything, or you can help me choose one, but our family doesn't have to do those special ones, you'd better let sister Xiaolu and sister Xiutong choose first, it will It's more polite, of course, if you have something you like and want to keep it, that's another matter, you can tell them directly, it's nothing important, I believe everyone can understand."

After Ao Ye got acquainted with Jin Baozhu thoroughly, she now regarded Jin Baozhu's words as her guide to action, so after hearing what Jin Baozhu said, she stuck out her tongue, scratched her head embarrassedly, and looked at the people over there. Lin Xiutong and the three said:

"Three sisters, if you like these jewelry, you can just choose them, but I want to keep a few things for myself, and you can pick the rest, can you?"

Lin Xiutong didn't expect the little girl Ao Ye to be so talkative, she didn't have that kind of domineering possessiveness at all, and she actually let them pick whatever she wanted.

"Okay, okay, you keep the ones you like first, and we'll choose the rest!" Sun Lu nodded first, and had no objection to Ao Ye's proposal at all.

Ao Ye looked at Lin Xiutong and Feng Feng's daughter-in-law Luo Ying over there, and after seeing that the two sister-in-laws had no objections, he picked out a few pieces from the pile of jewelry.

There is a pair of bracelets inside, the warm white suet jade texture, plus the hollowed-out gold inlaid carvings on the surface, it is a color and style that Ao Ma will like, Ao Ye plans to keep it, and it will be given to Ao Ma in a few months birthday present;

There is also a pair of earrings inside. They are not designed in a particularly exaggerated style. They are made of purple gemstones. Ao Ye is not sure what the material is, but they look very beautiful. They are the only pair of these jewelry even for daily wear. A style that can be worn out, so Ao Ye plans to keep it for Jin Baozhu;

As for herself, she picked left and right, but she didn't pick any particularly good-looking ones. In the end, the patients with advanced difficult choice syndrome didn't pick anything. They just pushed out the rest and let the sisters choose by themselves.

Of course Lin Xiutong and the others like these jewelry, but everyone knows how to measure. They only picked one of the more than 20 pieces of jewelry, and the rest went to Ao Ye. Not only that, but the jewelry they picked is also sure It wasn't for nothing, they all asked Gao Yu to find someone to help identify and estimate the price. Since they agreed to buy it at the beginning, they must pay according to the market price.

Gao Yu must be able to find the old shopkeeper, so after eating, the group went straight to Hanyuan Boguzhai, and took the jewelry they got to the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper couldn't move his eyes when he saw the jewelry.

Of course, this old gentleman did not have the same idea of ​​possessing these jewelry as Lin Xiutong and the other women. He is completely an occupational disease criminal. Whenever he sees a good thing, he can't help but want to buy it in the store, especially Ao Ye. The jewelry that was taken out was all high-quality goods, and the items with such a good appearance opened the door. If they received them in their shop, they could make a lot of money by reselling them. Of course, shopkeeper Lu's first thought was to want Negotiate this deal.

But it's a pity, except for the few pieces selected by Lin Xiutong and the others, the remaining Ao Ye doesn't plan to sell them for the time being. The shopkeeper Lu said that all his saliva was dry, but he couldn't let Ao Ye let go, so he could only give up angrily. , Even the interest in appraising these antiques has faded a lot.

Of course, for the three pieces of jewelry sold to Lin Xiutong, the old shopkeeper still gave a very professional identification and analysis result, but when he saw the remaining jewelry in Ao Ye's arms, the old shopkeeper's eyes showed a strong With a strong look of loss and regret, he looks very depressed and injured.

If it weren't for Ao Bing's long-accustomed temper of the old shopkeeper, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by this cunning old fox. Now seeing his sister, she seemed to be sorry for hurting the old man, and seemed to let go of her promise. Ao Bing suddenly felt dizzy, and quickly stopped his younger sister's urge to be stupid, winking at the silly girl and shaking his head to hint her not to be deceived.

Ao Ye didn't know why, but after seeing her brother's eye gestures, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Three pieces of jewellery, a total of 47 yuan, the most expensive of which is the mutton jade hairpin held by Sun Lu. Because it is well preserved, the design is exquisite and beautiful, and it is also the handwriting of a court engraving master in the Qing Dynasty, the old shopkeeper estimated the value at 35. Wan, Sun Lu is not short of this little money, so she signed a cash check for the little girl without saying a word.

The little girl was the same as when her brother received the check for the first time. The siblings had never seen the world. The first thing they did after receiving the check was to count the number of capital letters on the check after converting it into Arabic numerals. zero.

Of course, today’s Ao Bing must not care much about such small sums. His ornamental fish shop now has a turnover of over one million a day, not to mention that he has other ways to make money, so hundreds of thousands in today’s Ao Bing seems to be considered a small fortune.

But Ao Ye is not, this is the first time she has so much money in her hands when she is so old. She thinks back when she was sprinting in the third year of high school, she was still worrying about where to pay for college tuition, and worried because of her money. The situation that dragged down the family was even worse. Maybe even Ao Ma's medicine would have to be stopped by then, so she was entangled and struggling in her heart, and almost dropped out of school secretly.

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that far away from those dark and struggling days, it was just a matter of a few months. Who would have imagined that one day she would actually have hundreds of thousands of deposits, and the money was hers. The completely disposable pocket money that brother gave her?

Such a change really made Ao Ye feel absurd and unbelievable. Holding this check for a while, she didn't even know where to put her hands.

Both Feng Feng and Qin Yuanjiu paid the money to their wives consciously, and it was directly transferred to Ao Bing's account. The little girl has not yet specially applied for a bank card of her own, so there is no way to pay for this money. When it is transferred to her account, Ao Bing can only accept it on her behalf, and hand it over after Ao Ye goes to get a bank card the next day.

It's not too early, although Gao Yu and the others were making a fuss about going to karaoke, playing ball and clubbing before and put forward various ideas, but when the nightlife just started, facing Ao Bing's murderous eyes, these The guys touched their noses one by one and withdrew knowingly.

No one dares to tease and bully the well-behaved and innocent sister in front of the sister-in-law. Ao Bing will be furious if he doesn't like it. They fight to drink, so one of these people present counts as one, who can hold it?Even the wheel battle group group attack is not the boy's opponent!
