Zhao Tianming walked over, scared the mouse away, picked up the thing, and found that it was a hairpin.

The hairpin is a kind of jewelry used by the ancient Han people to fix and decorate their hair. It is a very old term for modern women, but when we watch costume dramas, we can always be impressed by the exquisite effects they embellish.

Pull up your long hair loosely, insert a chic hairpin, and match it with an elegant long skirt, even if the personality is outgoing, even a woman with a more extrusive personality can become a classic beauty that makes people shine.

In the feudal era of China, the Han women's flute insertion was a sign of adulthood, and a ceremony was held to perform the "flute ceremony".

The "flute" here is the "hairpin".

There are many forms of hairpins in ancient times, just in terms of materials, there are bone, stone, pottery, mussels, wattles, bamboo, wood, jade, copper, gold, ivory, horn and tortoiseshell and so on.

Zhao Tianming came into contact with the hairpin, and from the information transmitted from the ancient mirror, he learned that the hairpin in his hand was made of rhino horn.

It is very rare to take rhino horn to make hairpins, and a large rhino horn is used to make hairpins of such length, which is limited to materials at most two, which is very costly. The hairpin adopts a ruyi shape, plain body, and the inscription "Fang" and "Nine" words.

So, Zhao Tianming guessed that the original owner of this hairpin should be the ninth-ranked woman, and there is a Fang character in the name.

Rhino horn is inherently precious, not to mention that this is still a reddish Asian rhinoceros horn. You know, the subrhino became extinct very early, which makes it even more valuable.

The color of rhino horn is not monolithic, it is always black near the longitudinal center, which is an important feature to distinguish rhino horn from other horns, and the color of rhino horn is often dyed ancient red in order to achieve the effect of antiquity. In nature, only extinct subrhino populations have red horns. It should be explained here that Uncle Qianlong has never had the opportunity to see the horn of the sub-rhinoceros.

As we all know, rhino horn is divided into African rhino horn and Asian rhino horn, and the Asian rhinoceros is now extinct, so the Asian rhinoceros horn is particularly rare and more valuable than African rhino horn.

And in terms of medicinal value, Asian rhino horn is twenty times more than African rhino horn. Therefore, how to distinguish Asian rhino horn from African rhino horn is particularly important.

Many people believe that the heavier the rhino horn, the more valuable it is.

Professional collectors, on the other hand, believe that as a work of art, the texture, craftsmanship and shape of rhinoceros horn are equally important.

At present, many people in the market pass off as rhinoceros horn with buffalo horn, yellow horn, etc. Therefore, experts point out that the honeycomb pattern on the bottom of the rhino horn is its signature feature that distinguishes it from other species of horn.

With the carving on it, this is definitely a treasure.

After thinking about it, Zhao Tianming took the hairpin in his hand and his eyes fell on the mouse hole.

He thought to himself, there can't be something hidden in it, right? This hairpin was probably pulled out of it by a mouse. He turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and shone inside, the mouse hole was not deep, and he saw the bottom at a glance.

No, I didn't find it inside.

In this case, it must have been brought from somewhere else, and it is very likely that it is in this room, and it may even be what the man was looking for.

As they were thinking, Comber and the others came down from the upper floor, but they didn't seem to find anything.

"What is this?" Zhou Yun asked.

Just now, I didn't seem to find that Zhao Tianming was carrying this kind of thing, right?

Zhao Tianming looked at Comber and found that he didn't react in particular, so he knew that this thing was not his.

"Say it, you may not believe it, but this is what a mouse has just taken in it. It is a kind of hairpin in ancient times. Zhao Tianming said.

Rats bite?

Zhou Yun and Comber both have round eyes, and the rats will steal treasures? I don't know who they stole from. let Zhao Tianming pick up the treasure, this luck, there is really no way to say.

"It turned out to be a hairpin! I recognize, isn't it often on TV?" Zhou Yun said.

Zhao Tianming shook his head: "It's a hairpin, not a hairpin, the difference between the two is one word, and they are both ornaments on the head, not the same thing." ”

He explained to the two men that hairpins and hairpins are both used for hair insertion, but the structure of the two is different.

Hairpins are usually made into one strand, while hairpins are made into two strands, and there are some differences in use. The popularity of hairpins was around the late Western Han Dynasty, and since then, it has been one of the main headdresses of Chinese women, and to this day, hairpins still have a place in women's makeup, such as hairpins, which evolved from hairpins.

Zhou Yun realized that there was still this difference. I have to say that many people may be like Zhou Yun and confuse hairpins with hairpins.

"Comber, I'll take this hairpin first. Zhao Tianming said very brightly.

Comber smiled: "It's not mine, it's naturally yours when you pick it up, I don't have that cheekiness old man." ”

"But after all, I got it in your old mansion. Zhao Tianming also smiled.

Zhao Tianming occupies this hairpin, even Zhou Yun can't afford to hate it, people do things very openly, and they are very comfortable to speak.

"It's your luck, besides, old man, I've troubled you a lot. Comber said indifferently.

Anyway, it's not his own, even if it's his own, why not give one to Zhao Tianming? After all, people have helped a lot, and this young man is very rare, not a greedy person.

In addition, in their eyes, it is not made of gold and silver, how much can it be worth?

Outsiders naturally can't see that the hairpin is more valuable than gold. Zhao Tianming didn't break it, saving others from thinking more.

He spoke, "Remember the man we talked about? He seems to have bought this place for another purpose, I wonder if there is a treasure buried underneath it?"

Hearing Zhao Tianming's words, coupled with the hairpin brought by the mouse, it confirmed Zhao Tianming's words even more, so that Kang Bo and Zhou Yun had to doubt this possibility.

"As I say, why don't we find a rat hole. There's one in the corner over there, but I've just looked at it and there's nothing. If we can find a treasure, we will take it first, and don't cheapen others. This is Zhao Tianming's thoughts.

Zhou Yun and Kang Bo's eyes lit up, obviously this is what they meant, and they agreed with Zhao Tianming's statement.

"Yes, let's look for it, we can't cheapen anyone else. ”

"Then look for it, and it's better not to let that stinky boy find out. Comber also said.

He had to hide it from his own son. If you really find a treasure, when you are in trouble in the future, you can take it out for emergency relief, and you can't just divide it up and let that guy take it and lose it all.

Unifying their opinions, Zhao Tianming and the others began to look for rat holes separately, and they didn't let go of the courtyard outside.

Finally, they found a deep mouse hole in the corner of the wall not far from the yellow bark tree in the yard, and Zhao Tianming and Zhou Yun immediately found tools and dug them up.
