773 Preparation of the dowry

Collecting species across the country is a tedious and time-consuming task, and two months have passed since he traveled across most of China.

Seeing that there was another week to go before the wedding celebration of the eldest sister Xiao Banxia, Xiao Yao had to temporarily end this long species collection work.

Collecting global species is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time, and he estimates that it will take several years to collect all the species in the world.

Xiao Banxia's wedding celebration is scheduled for October 2nd, as Xiao Banxia's only younger brother, although Xiao Yao is not needed to arrange all the details of the wedding celebration, but he must not be absent from his participation.

Although he rushed back to the house a week in advance, as soon as he entered the house, he was complained by his mother: "Do you still know that you are back? I haven't seen you for a long time, and your sister is getting married, don't you care about it at all?"

If Xiao Yao couldn't spare time because he was busy with work, Bai Yuzhen would not complain about his son, but Xiao Yao obviously had nothing to do, and would rather travel around the country than help her at home.

"Do you really think I'm traveling all over the country? That's what I said, how can anyone travel alone to travel all over the country, in fact, I'm going to visit the market all over the country. Besides, it's not too late for me to come back, there is still a week before my eldest sister's wedding day, what tasks do you have to arrange for your old son, and keep it for you properly. Xiao Yao responded with a hippie smile.

"Seeing that it's the right day to get married, I've already arranged all the arrangements, if I wait for you to come back to do things, the daylilies will be cold. ”

"Then I'll check and fill in the gaps for you, and give you a start. ”

"I haven't been home for two months, you should go and rest, take a good nap, and talk about anything when you wake up." Although she was complaining, Bai Yuzhen obviously felt sorry for her son.

Lying on the bed at home did sleep soundly, Xiao Yao slept for two hours, and when he woke up, it was already 5 or five o'clock in the afternoon.

He came down from upstairs, and his sister Xiao Banxia also happened to go home.

"Dear brother, you have finally come home, have you brought me back my wedding gift after going out for so long?

"My dearest sister is getting married, this is a big deal for me, and I will of course be careful about the wedding gifts I will give you. Seeing his radiant sister, Xiao Yao's mood was a little better.

"Why don't you give it to me, if the gift is too bad, maybe I won't get married." Xiao Banxia threatened.

"You'd better dispel this idea, if you don't get married quickly, you'll become an old girl, and maybe no one will want it in the future." Watching you, an old girl, turn around in front of your eyes every day, how much thought you have to add to our parents, aren't you just worried about the small dowry? ”

Xiao Banxia made a greedy and inadequate look, "In ancient times, everyone was married to show off, it was all ten miles of red makeup, I have a local tyrant brother like you, even if the status is not as good as that of the ancient princess and county lord, it should not be much worse, right? ”

"Am I the kind of person who picks the door? I'm just a sister like you, so I have to let you marry in style. Xiao Yao said proudly.

"In a few days, my wedding day will be the next day, where are all the dowries you prepared for me? Xiao Banxia asked for a dowry with confidence.

"Mom, what dowry have you prepared for my sister?" Xiao Yao looked at his mother.

Bai Yuzhen will definitely not interfere with the two children's quarrels, and she also wants to know what dowry her son has prepared for his only sister.

"What kind of dowry can I prepare for your sister, don't you know our family's background? Your father and I have only saved some money in the past two years, and all the savings are added up, and the full amount is less than 1 million. If you don't mind, I'll scrape together 1 million and use this passbook as a dowry for your sister. Bai Yuzhen cried when she came up.

"How can it be only 1 million? In the past two years, I have successively given you and my dad pocket money, if there is no 80 million, there should be 50 million, although my dad is now obsessed with collecting, but he is not good at the current level, he buys some bargains, even if they all add up, the top 10 million is over, what are you doing with the rest of the money?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"You also said that it was the pocket money you gave the two of us, it was the two of us who honored the two of us, and it was not earned by the two of us ourselves, of course, it can't be regarded as the family business earned by the two of us. Bai Yuzhen looked confident.

Xiao Yao said helplessly: "Whatever you say is reasonable, but I still have to state one thing, the money and things I give you and my dad are all yours, you have 100% control, and you can dispose of it as you want." ”

Bai Yuzhen then got off the donkey and said: "Okay, since you say so, then I will add a few pieces of jewelry to your sister in addition to the 1 million passbook as a dowry." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Banxia immediately pretended to be a good girl, took her mother's arm and asked, "Mom still loves me the most, Mom, which pieces of jewelry are you going to give me?"

"You wait, I'll get it for you now. ”

After his mother left, Xiao Banxia sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs without any image and said: "Sure enough, my parents are the closest, although my younger brother is not bad, but it is still a little worse." I'm getting married, and I haven't seen each other for two months in a row, and I used to keep saying that I won't be allowed to suffer for the rest of my life, and I don't know if it's a beautiful thing to coax me?"

Bai Yuzhen happened to walk back and said, "Is it a beautiful thing to coax you, as long as you see what wedding gifts your brother has prepared for you, then you will know." ”

Xiao Banxia hurriedly put down the crossed Erlang's legs, and said arrogantly: "Don't dare to measure him, don't look at him now as a big tyrant, a world-renowned artist, if you make me unhappy, I will still clean him up!"

"Look at what you can!" Bai Yuzhen opened several jewelry boxes as she spoke, and all kinds of jewelry simply dazzled Xiao Banxia's eyes.

"Mom, do you want to give me all these jewelry? Are you willing to give it to me?" Every piece of jewelry in front of her, Xiao Banxia likes it to death, but she likes it, but she doesn't dare to keep it all for herself, at most, she accepts one or two pieces, which is considered a comfort to her mother.

"Your brother gave me countless pieces of jewelry, not even 110 in front of me, since your brother said let me be the master, I don't like these jewelry very much, if I don't give it to you, then I can only stay at the bottom of the box to eat ashes." ”

As long as you are uninformed, when you see the 10 pieces of jewelry in front of you, you will definitely think that Bai Yuzhen is showing off, but in fact, she is really not showing off, what she is saying is the truth.

Xiao Yao's collection of all kinds of jewelry in the world is simply piled up into a mountain, there are so many jewelry, of course he has to meet all his mother's dreams and needs for jewelry.

In the past two years, whether it is a holiday or a birthday, he has successively given his mother more than 100 pieces of various jewelry.

The 10 pieces of jewelry in front of her are actually less than the 110 in her entire collection. However, although it is not up to the level in quantity, it is superior in quality.

These jewels were to be given to her daughter as a dowry, so they were naturally the best of the best, and she took out more than half of the most precious jewels in her hands.

"With such beautiful jewelry, you should be reluctant to let them eat ashes at the bottom of the box, right?"

Xiao Banxia first picked up a jade bracelet, "This jade bracelet with spring color, I have seen you wear it twice in total, how beautiful, I can't take away your favor, you better keep it yourself." ”

"After the new rain in the lonely empty mountain, the water of Yingying Lake is beautiful", this bracelet is purple with green, transparent and pure, noble and moving, the color is clear and light, and the temperament is subtle and eternal.

The light purple is refreshing, and a touch of light green brushes the tip of the heart, just like the water Shaohua, simple and elegant.

This bracelet is bright and elegant, the bracelet body is full, and the material is enough for the original strip, symbolizing the beauty of loyalty, with the meaning of protection and reunion, and it is difficult to find perfection.

The texture of this jadeite bracelet is excellent, it has reached the texture of the glass species, although the color is a little ordinary, but the top texture plus the two-color spring ribbon color, it is already extremely difficult to find the top jadeite jewelry on the market.

Xiao Banxia still remembers the first time she saw this jade bracelet, she was amazed, and asked about the price of this bracelet at that time, and her mother quietly told her that a friend in the jade business in the circle valued the bracelet at 130 million.

After hearing this price, although Xiao Banxia's concept has changed a lot in the past two years, he still secretly speaks to himself.

Xiao Banxia knew that her mother's favorite jewelry was jadeite, and she naturally couldn't ask for this top-notch jade bracelet.

"Don't you look at what color this bracelet is? It's pretty, but the color is too fresh and tender, it's not suitable for people my age to wear at all, and if I'm 10 years younger, I'm definitely reluctant to give it to you." ”

Bai Yuzhen stuffed the bracelet into her daughter's hand and continued: "Who let me have a good son, what I don't lack now is top-level jewelry, now your mother and I are not the Bai Yuzhen of two years ago, now my eyes are picky, but if there is a little bit of dissatisfaction, even if it is expensive jewelry, I will definitely not wear it out to meet people." ”

"Mom, since my sister doesn't want it, then you might as well keep this bracelet, if you give this bracelet to your future daughter-in-law as a gift, your future daughter-in-law will definitely be happy. Xiao Yao said deliberately.

Xiao Banxia directly put this bracelet on his wrist, and said triumphantly: "Don't even think about it! how can a daughter-in-law have a daughter, if you want to favor your daughter-in-law, wait until she passes the door, now this bracelet is mine." ”

Bai Yuzhen pushed another jewelry box in front of her daughter and said: "Although the texture of this set of jewelry is a little worse, it is only high ice, but the color is the purest violet, and it is also a treasure passed down to future generations by Queen Wanrong in the late Qing Dynasty, which is also extremely rare." ”

This is one of the most cherished jadeite jewelry of the filial piety queen Guo Buluo Wanrong, and it has been passed down to any family to become the top jadeite jewelry passed down through the generations.

The history of jadeite into China is very short, although the unearthed cultural relics show that there may be Burmese jadeite products in China as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the golden age of jadeite, there is no doubt that it is the late Qing Dynasty.

The jadeite products of the Qianlong Jiaqing period were mainly furnishings and utensils, which were made by drawing on the method of Hetian jade carving and grinding, while the Cixi period was dominated by ornaments and cultural toys, that is, jade ornaments such as pipes, rings, hairpins, bracelets, and pendants.

It wasn't until the Cixi period that jadeite jewelry really became popular.

This is directly related to Cixi's love for jadeite, the so-called upward and downward effect, it is precisely because Cixi loves jadeite, so that this transparent green and intimidating material has achieved an incomparable lofty status in the Qing court.

From this point on, the high-quality Meicui became an indispensable jewelry for the beauties of the harem, many of which were specially ordered by Cixi to collect tribute.

The set of violet jade jewelry that Wanrong once owned was one of the top tributes.

This jewelry set, originally owned by Empress Wanrong, includes a jade bead necklace with gold filigree beads, a saddle ring, and a traditional round bracelet.

This set of jewellery is all pure violet, and the colors are extremely close, apparently carved from a piece of rough stone.

Just by looking at the workmanship of the gold filigree beads, you can be sure that this necklace is from the Qing Palace, because this exquisite craftsmanship has always been unique to Gong Yan.

The jadeite beads on the necklace are very close in color and texture, and the size is basically the same, and the error can not be seen by the naked eye.

The saddle ring is uniform in color, with almost no color difference, and the part of the ring is thicker than that of ordinary saddle rings, and its transparent and intense color is even more rare.

Because of the large materials used in jadeite bracelets, there are inevitably some differences in color, but the color of this bracelet is very uniform and the difference is very small.

The only flaws are the slight edges and corners of the shape, but it is these small flaws that are reminiscent of the challenges faced by craftsmen at the time, and give each piece of jadeite jewelry its own distinctive character.

This set of jewellery was sold at the Panwu auction.

The original collector has carefully treasured it over the years, and retained its precious original appearance, so that this set of jewelry is not damaged at all, so that the latter can savor the afterglow of this beautiful emerald at the same time, but also imagine the appearance of the original owner who once owned these treasures.

Si people have passed away, and the real endurance is the beauty of these jade treasures, the years have not diminished a little bit of elegance, how rare.
