Chapter 5 Which is the Treasure?
"Where's the baby?" Jia Lei hurriedly ran over when he heard the shout, only to see a bunch of messy things thrown in a few boxes in a corner.
"This is probably the place where the owner picked up things, the things on the ground are worthless or large and bulky things, some things are too heavy to carry will slow down the speed of escape, so they are left in the secret room, but the tripod you found is really a treasure!" The old comrade looked at the three-legged garden belly bronze tripod that the director was touching in his hand and said, this thing is estimated to be two or three hundred catties too heavy, no wonder it was thrown down.
"Can you help me see what else is left?" Jia Lei asked with a little expectation.
The old comrade squatted down and looked at the pile of things carefully, but after too long and not keeping them properly, a few calligraphy and paintings were yellowed and brittle, and the rest were some wooden ornaments, interstitial screens, marble screens, and the like! However, quite a lot of embroidery and curtains were well preserved, and they were all kept in a separate box. Along with them are many carved boxes, large and small, boxes of fabric, and so on.
"These things are dowries prepared by rich families for their daughters, and the valuable jewelry, gold and silver in them have been taken away, leaving boxes and fabrics that occupy space! It is estimated that the owner thought that he would be able to come back in the future, so he deliberately made antiseptic and insect prevention treatments, and the things were of little value in the Republic of China, and they were cultural relics that could only be counted as Dingcai!" The old comrade said that he was not from the Cultural Relics Bureau, and he could only talk about it roughly.
"Then do I need to hand over everything to the state?" Jia Lei asked, he was stimulated by iQiyi's tomb robbery drama with non-five-cent special effects-hand over to the country-the four words have been engraved into his memory.
"The country doesn't want to collect rags! These things don't have to be handed over, only this bronze tripod and the twelve-fan Luanjin screen over there have to be handed in!" The director of China Merchants said that those paintings were worthless during the Republic of China, and many painters were still alive and well, as for the fabrics, they were all old styles from decades ago, and they were not worth much, so it might as well be left to Jia Lei as a favor.
He's the biggest here - he's in charge!
"It's okay for you to take this ding, but-" Fan Ping'an suddenly spoke, before he came, Wang Lao had specially told him to look at Jia Lei's valuable things and money, don't let people cheat him.
"Who are you? What are you talking about this as a state official?" said the director of the China Merchants Bureau unhappily, saying that if he could bring these two things back today, it would be a political achievement and a meritorious achievement.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the key is that this building, including the land, all belongs to Jia Lei! This basement is also contained in it, everything in it belongs to him, and I don't agree with you taking that screen! It is not like bronzes, which have special cultural relics value and must be sent to the museum, and we have to stay." Fan Ping'an said that Jia Lei looked at him blankly, not knowing how a person as honest and selfless as him could not hand over everything to the state.
"Everything belongs to the state!" Why do you say that?" asked the director of the China Merchants Bureau.
"I think the comrades in the housing management office should know about it! The title deed is registered with you, and no one or any department can meddle in this house before Jia Lei turns 20 years old, otherwise they will all be dismissed and investigated!" Fan Ping'an said, and the two people in the housing management office could only nod.
The director of China Merchants can only give up that huge screen!
"Everyone, don't quarrel, don't hurt the peace! I have a compromise solution, you can consider it, I can rent the screen to the museum for a month, and it only costs one yuan! This thing still belongs to me, but it can also be placed in the museum for everyone to see. Jia Lei said in a round on the side.
He doesn't know how to keep this big screen, the key is that he is too big, more than two meters high! Jia Lei can't put it at home at all, so it is better to lend it to the museum, so that someone will take care of the maintenance and storage, and he doesn't have to spend a penny!
As for whether this loan will be a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return!
Jia Lei was not worried at all, he didn't hear Fan Ping'an say that if he dared to move a single hair here, he would be removed from his post and investigated!
Jia Lei looked at the people from China Merchants Bureau and waited outside, waiting for the two drivers to move the bronze tripod out together, it was really not distressing, the bronze trade was dead, and the cultural relics would be heavily sentenced, that is, a bomb was not something that a small person like himself could have.
Ding - the important weapon of the country!

"I don't want the Huadiao wine outside, do I want a daughter in the secret room? My daughter is getting married in the summer, I want to ask for a good omen!" said the old comrade of the Housing Authority, who walked up to Jia Lei's side.
"It's okay, take it! Marriage is such a big thing as trying to be auspicious! I'll see if there are any other suitable things? This piece of red silk is good and can be used as a wedding dress, you can take one!" Jia Lei looked at the several large boxes of cloth and said.
The old comrade looked at the silk that Jia Lei was pointing at, and the corners of his mouth couldn't close, he looked at the rest of the people in the room, pulled Jia Lei to the corner of the wall, and whispered.
"Silly boy, that's not red silk, it's silk, it's a good thing that costs more than gold! How can you give it away casually?" the old comrade said in Jia Lei's ear, in case the director heard it, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, he knew this thing among the few people in the house, otherwise Jia Lei wouldn't even be able to keep a piece of cloth, and the child really didn't know the depth and sent anything out.
"Isn't silk silk? I've heard this word in TV dramas, and it really seems to be quite valuable! But I'm a big man, and I don't need your daughter, and my daughter just happens to get married, so I'll give you two meters, and I won't give you one! I don't need that much to make a wedding dress. Jia Lei said curtly, how can he be a big man who knows clothes and fabrics, and he almost gave things away in a daze.
"Two meters! Then I thank you. You stick your ear over and I'll whisper a few words to you. The old comrade of the Housing Management Bureau squatted down and said, Jia Lei leaned his ear over with words.
"Let me tell you, the most valuable thing in this house is the wood in this place! This is a good wood that large families have to save for more than ten years, red sandalwood and golden silk nanmu, otherwise how could the original owner hide them in the secret room, I just secretly wiped the wood, and I saw that it is Huanghuali, you remember not to let others know! And don't throw away those empty boxes, that's a good thing too!" said the old comrade to Jia Lei's ear, and the more Jia Lei listened, the wider his eyes opened.
This...... Thirty years from now, these pieces of wood will be worth a lot of money!
Thank you, the illiterate director, for your departure!
"How do you know so much?" Jia Lei asked curiously.
"A few years ago, I was a bitch of a capitalist!" and the dregs of feudal society!" said an old comrade from the Housing Management Bureau.
