Chapter 341 The Zheng family's special skills to show off their wealth
Zheng Zheng and Bai Xiaoxue cleaned up, had breakfast, and when it was seven o'clock, they began to go to the Zheng family's mansion.
"This ...... This is your family? See...... It looks amazing!"
Although from some of the situations that Zheng Zheng told her before, Bai Xiaoxue also has a general idea of the image of the Zheng family in her heart. However, after arriving at the Zheng family's mansion, seeing the appearance of the Zheng family's mansion, Bai Xiaoxue was still shocked.
Not to mention Bai Xiaoxue, Zheng Zheng was a little stunned after seeing the scene in front of him for the first time.
A big red carpet spread from the inside of the Zheng family's mansion to the outside, covering the entire square in front of the Zheng family. There are a total of 81 mahogany pillars of "nine horizontal and nine vertical" standing on the square, which are about ten meters apart between the two pairs, and a big red lantern is hung high on each side. Under each lamppost, there is a shelf, and on each shelf there is a glass cover, some of which have been filled with various antique ornaments, and some are still empty.
And these shelves with glass covers, like the red carpet, are lined up from the door of the Zheng family's mansion to the door, about ten meters apart between the two and two, and the red carpet and eighty-one lampposts correspond to the look, which is quite spectacular.
Although it was just a little past seven o'clock at this time, there were already many people in the square who were busy setting up chairs and tables, and it seemed that they were quite busy.
"It's pretty powerful, but it doesn't have anything to do with me. Zheng Zheng looked at Bai Xiaoxue on the side and teased: "What's the matter, are you a little disappointed after learning that I am not a rich second generation?"
"I wasn't disappointed. Bai Xiaoxue said with a serious face: "We were at that time, that ...... When we were together, I didn't even know that. I also don't like that you are a rich second generation, you are fine now. ”
Zheng Zheng nodded quite appreciatively, gently scratched Bai Xiaoxue's nose, and said, "That's good, I'll give you some rewards when I turn around." ”
Zheng Zheng said "reward" Bai Xiaoxue naturally knew what it meant, she blushed, pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't make a sound.
Zheng Zheng glanced around, but he didn't see Zheng Yonghe, call him, but the phone couldn't get through. Grabbed the person who was busy with the work and asked, but the man said that he hadn't seen Zheng Yonghe today, and he also found him.
Zheng Yonghe couldn't find it for a while, and Zheng Zheng wanted to take Bai Xiaoxue directly into the Zheng family's mansion. But after thinking about it, forget it, Zheng Bei doesn't know where he is at this time, in case he meets him, he will have to fight a mouth cannon. It doesn't matter if Zheng Zheng speaks by himself, scolding and scolding stupid.. Forcing for fun is also good for physical and mental health, but isn't there a Bai Xiaoxue by the side? I can have a good time fighting with Zheng Bei, but if Bai Xiaoxue is on the side, this is not suitable.
The weather is good today, it's not too cold, and there's no wind, so you won't get cold in this square. Zheng Zheng pondered, come on, just wait here, and wait until Zheng Yonghe's phone is connected.
found a seat that had been placed in the square, and Zheng Zheng and Bai Xiaoxue sat down. Zheng Zheng kept calling Zheng Yonghe, but the phone was never connected, and he didn't know what Zheng Yonghe was doing. Bai Xiaoxue walked around, looking at the things in the glass covers on the shelves with interest.
"I'll ...... Why can't you be reliable?" Zheng Zheng listened to the prompt tone of "No one answered the call you dialed" on his mobile phone, pouted his teeth, and scolded in a low voice.
Zheng Zheng didn't try it anymore, put his mobile phone in his pocket, looked left and right, but saw Bai Xiaoxue standing under a lamppost not far away, looking up at the red lantern hanging on the lamppost.
Zheng Zheng walked over and saw Bai Xiaoxue staring at the red lantern, so he smiled and said, "Like this?
"No......" Bai Xiaoxue shook her head, pointed to the lantern, and said, "The spike of this lantern looks so strange...... It seems to reflect the light. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Zheng Zheng listened curiously, squinted his eyes and looked at the lantern on the top of the lamppost, only to see the light spikes under the lantern swaying gently, and when it was illuminated by the early morning sun, it emitted a shimmering golden reflection.
Zheng Zheng looked at it for a while, and his heart was immediately a sentence of "I. fuck".
Bai Xiaoxue couldn't understand it from such a distance, but Zheng Zheng could see it clearly, which of the lantern tassels on this lantern was an ordinary silk thread tassel, which was clearly woven with gold thread.
Zheng Zheng glanced at the other lampposts with red lanterns hanging identically, and said secretly in his heart: "Eighty-one lanterns, the ears on each lantern are pure gold, these eighty-one gold ears are a lot of money......, right? It doesn't seem ostentatious, but you can see it clearly......"
Subconsciously glanced at the shelf, Zheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, and leaned in front of the glass cover on the shelf to take a closer look.
Bai Xiaoxue on the side also noticed Zheng Zheng's abnormality, looked at him curiously, and asked cautiously, "What'......s the matter?" Isn't it expensive?"
Inside the glass cover is a vermilion box with a beautiful pattern. Bai Xiaoxue can only guess that this box is covered by this glass cover, and roughly guesses that this box should not be an ordinary thing, but no matter how much it is, it can't be seen.
"Let's not talk about this box first......" Zheng Zheng pointed to the glass cover and said to Bai Xiaoxue: "Kao Kao, tell me, what kind of material is this?"
"How do I understand this...... You laugh at me. Bai Xiaoxue pursed her lips unhappily, and guessed an answer casually: "Hmm...... Bulletproof glass?"
"The bulletproof glass is much thicker than this...... Zheng Zheng shook his head, flicked the glass cover with his fingers, and said: "This glass cover is made of natural crystal, pay attention...... It is a natural crystal, which is different from the artificial crystal on the market. And the black bottom inside, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a piece of ink crystal......"
"It's worth a lot?" Bai Xiaoxue couldn't understand it, so she had to ask a question that she could figure out clearly.
Zheng Zheng shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It's okay just to have a glass cover, it's not too expensive." But these are eighty-one identical crystal boxes...... Even if it's a little lower, there are still 1.8 million. ”
Bai Xiaoxue's eyes widened in surprise and didn't speak. Zheng Zheng stretched out his finger and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Scared?"
"It's not ......" Bai Xiaoxue shook her head, looked at the crystal box in front of her, and said with some regret: "I just think it's a waste...... What is the difference between a glass box and a crystal box? Do you have to spend so much money on this kind of thing...... What a waste. ”
Zheng Zheng shook his head and smiled, he didn't expect the Zheng family's painstaking arrangement to fall in Bai Xiaoxue's eyes, and he only got this evaluation. He laughed and said, "If you let the person who made this decision hear this, you have to be angry with him...... This is a once-in-a-decade event, and there still have to be some scenes. But...... I think about it like you, it's a bit of a waste. ”
This stroke is indeed big enough and magnificent, but Zheng Zheng feels that this kind of work to support the scene has reached this point, and Zheng Zheng can't give any other evaluation except waste. You must know that after these crystals are made into this box, they will not be used for other purposes in the future, and can only be used as a box all the time. If it comes in handy again, it is estimated that it will be an ancestor worship ceremony ten years later.
But by then, using a device that was used 10 years ago? So for the sake of the scene, these crystal boxes that have been used once will definitely not be able to be taken up.
In other words, this 100,000 crystal box is also used this time, and then it will be forever dusted.
However, Zheng Zheng has no other thoughts in his heart except for "waste". No matter how much money is spent, it has nothing to do with Zheng Zheng, the Zheng family is happy to make such bad money, so let them go, Zheng Zheng is too lazy to worry about whether it is wasted or not for them.
Bai Xiaoxue pointed to the vermilion box in the crystal cover and asked, "What about this box?
"It's called lacquerware. Do you see if there's a carved flower on the surface? This is carved out of the lacquer. ”
Zheng Zheng explained to Bai Xiaoxue: "Lacquerware has appeared as early as the Xia Dynasty, and it was not really developed until the Tang Dynasty. However, lacquerware really matured and began to be popular, and that had to be in the Song Dynasty. At that time, not only did the government have a special production facility, but it was also common for the private sector to make lacquerware. But all lacquerware is made with something as the base, and then the top is painted layer by layer. For the general utensils, one or two layers of lacquer are enough, but the fine products must have dozens or even hundreds of layers just for lacquering, and then start carving and decorating on this surface. ”
Bai Xiaoxue listened attentively on the side, nodding from time to time.
Zheng Zheng also had the intention of letting Bai Xiaoxue be more familiar with some things in this area, so he explained to Bai Xiaoxue: "The doorway here is very deep, just from the production method of lacquerware, there are several kinds of gold painting, lacquer filling, luodian, gold and silver flat, carved lacquer, lacquer filling, flat lacquer, gold and red, it sounds like a lot, right? The so-called flat paint is the most common one now, and there is a layer of paint on the surface, which is called flat paint. Gilt is the opposite of gilding, which is lacquered and then pierced with a needle, and then sprinkled with gold dust in the gaps of these patterns. Drawing gold is to decorate the surface with patterns. After molding, the color of the gold is in the gaps, and the color of the gold painting is on the surface. ”
"So what is this lacquerware...... What kind of method does it belong to?" Bai Xiaoxue pointed to the vermilion lacquer box in the crystal cover and asked.
Zheng Zheng said: "This belongs to the 'carving paint method', also known as the 'red method'. It is to engrave the pattern on the flat paint tire that is piled up. Most of them are made of metal as the base, with lacquer layer by layer to pile up, to say less is eighty or ninety layers, a little more is one or two hundred layers, and then paint half dry and then draw the sketch, along the sketch and then carve. ”
