Chapter 63: A Dinner Treat
Grandma stared at Song Nanqiao with interest and smiled lovingly.
She pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, "I just know a little bit about the skin." ”
In the blink of an eye, the eyes suddenly lit up, this is not the crystal cup of the Warring States Period? Grandma actually even has such treasures, this crystal cup can be said to be priceless, even if you have money can not buy it, it is a very rare cultural relic.
Song Nanqiao's eyes shone brightly, "Grandma, can I take a look at this crystal cup?"
"Feel free to see it, you can give it to you if you like. ”
Grandma is very generous, but she doesn't dare to ask for it, even if she sells herself an estimated leg of the crystal cup, it is not worth it.
These are precious collectibles!
"Sister Qiao, grandma, you are chatting, and I will cook dinner for you. ”
"You can also cook?"
Song Nanqiao was a little surprised that such a young man would actually enter the kitchen.
"Of course, Sister Qiao, don't underestimate my cooking skills, just wait and see. ”
Levi proudly hooked the broken hair in front of his forehead and walked into the kitchen with a grin.
Song Nanqiao couldn't help but smile shallowly when he saw his neat appearance.
"He's really capable, he can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen, and his grandmother teaches him so well. ”
For Levi, she didn't just praise him very much, she really thought he was excellent.
Grandma smiled happily and turned to look at her.
"Nan Qiao, do you know the origin of this crystal cup?"
Grandma looked at her meaningfully and asked mysteriously.
"Know one thing, this cellar belongs to the late Warring States period, the generation of Banshan Town has been found almost every year since the 80s of the 20th century, it seems to have been found in the Warring States tomb, and then it was in the hands of many people, and the auction price was sky-high, in the eyes of everyone, it is an extremely valuable existence, it seems that the National Museum seems to want to collect it before, right?"
"During the Warring States period, the excavation of such things is equivalent to the history of an era, this crystal cup is too precious, it is an extremely rare existence, and grandma is really rich in collections. ”
Song Nanqiao told his grandmother everything he knew about the crystal cup, and invisibly sighed at his grandmother's amazing collection and collections.
"I didn't expect Nan Qiao to know antiques very well, it seems that we have the same interests. ”
"No, grandma said laughing, I'm a little bit of a class in front of you, grandma don't laugh, it's just that grandpa likes to study before his death, and my family also has a few of his old man's collection efforts, so I can understand a few points, but not much, compared to a collector like you. ”
She just didn't expect that there were so many antiques and curios, which opened her eyes.
"Nan Qiao is here, grandma will show you something good. ”
She waved her hand, and Song Nanqiao followed her to the study, and the scenery inside made Nanqiao even more breathtaking, in comparison, the antiques and antiques in the study are truly priceless.
"Nan Qiao knows what this is?"
Grandma pointed to a phoenix crown in the middle.
Song Nanqiao recognized it at a glance, and was incredibly dumbfounded.
"Grandma, is this a bit of a phoenix crown?"
The crown ornament of the ancient emperor's concubine, which is decorated with phoenix-like jewelry. The phoenix crown of the Ming Dynasty is the crown worn by the queen when receiving the book, the temple, and the court, and its shape inherits the system of the Song Dynasty and is developed and perfected, so it is more graceful and luxurious.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the color crown used in the general women's decoration was also called the phoenix crown, which was mostly used in weddings.
She's a girl, so she's more fond of these things, because they're all mysterious.
"That's right, Nan Qiao knows what Diancui means?"
Grandma was quite interested, and her eyes fell on her.
"Diancui is a traditional Chinese art of making gold and silver jewelry, but it has been around since the Han Dynasty. ”
"Listen to my grandfather, how ancient high-grade concubines will have the opportunity to wear, this kind of skill is superb, is the ancestral heirloom, plays the role of embellishment and beautification of gold and silver jewelry, with the jewelry made of the emerald process, good luster, bright color, as long as the use of the process of attention to protection, luster and color can be preserved for a long time. ”
"The development of Diancui craftsmanship reached its peak in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, and became the most popular jewelry to wear at that time. It is loved by many noble ladies and ladies, and it is a popular symbol, but it is also a banner of different eras in the development of skills. ”
"Emerald feathers, or kingfisher feathers, are first made of gold or gilded metal to make a base with different patterns, and then the bright blue feathers on the kingfisher's back are carefully inlaid on the seat to make various jewelry utensils. Later, when the kingfisher became a national protected animal, this skill was lost, but it was a pity, but it was really a bit cruel, too many kingfishers died, and now these headdresses that can be preserved seem to be very small, and there are very few that can be glossy and preserved so well. ”
Influenced by his grandfather, Song Nanqiao is very familiar with these collections.
I love it even more, as if I am in the ocean of knowledge.
Looking back at grandma in surprise,
"Am I right?"
A little embarrassed, I don't know if what I said is right, after all, this is what my grandfather told her when she was a child, maybe there is a deviation.
"Nan Qiao said very well, it seems that you really know the ancient culture, this phoenix crown is my favorite object, especially the exquisite craftsmanship of the dotted cui, now almost no one can do the technology of this phoenix crown. “
I have treasured this phoenix crown for a long time, and I will come to see her every day. ”
Song Nanqiao could see that there was a different kind of light in her grandmother's eyes.
She turned her face sideways, and the more she looked at Song Nanqiao, the more satisfied she became, and the more she liked it.
Pulling Nan Qiao's soft pancreas with his hand, he sighed for a long time, and the wrinkles on his face melted.
"You are not only a sensible and kind child, but also more knowledgeable, insightful, and a girl with a fragrance in her bones, which grandma likes. ”
was praised inexplicably, Rao is Song Nanqiao thought that he was thick-skinned and a little shy.
"Grandma, how can I compare with you? It's just a big knife in front of Guan Gong, I haven't studied these things, it's all hearsay, it's just ugly, where is it worthy of your favor." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Levi in the kitchen had already prepared everything and shouted loudly.
"Okay, don't talk, the meals are ready, hurry up and eat, Sister Qiao came to try my craftsmanship, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”
Song Nanqiao smiled, feeling that this trip was really not in vain, and he saw a lot of knowledge while seeing the broadening.
The so-called don't judge people by their appearance, she understands thoroughly today, who would have thought that a grandmother with a sixtieth birthday would take a big boy, and the two of them depend on each other, but the strength and family background behind it are amazing, and they must come from a famous family.
Now, Song Nanqiao has overturned all his previous thoughts about Levi, and today he can be regarded as truly re-acquainting with him.
At the dinner table, the three of them chatted very happily, Song Nanqiao and grandma chatted happily about the culture of antiques and antiques, it seems that she was born to do this industry, all the problems of grandma, she can keep up with the ideas and say a few words, and the grandma who provoked her was even more praised.
