Chapter 384: Inventory of the Tomb Harvest
When Chen Zhengqian returned home with a large number of wild things, everyone was stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dad was shocked and asked, "Have you razed the whole mountain?"
This is too cruel, go out for an afternoon, and bring back a dozen wild animals. Others were happy to catch one on weekdays, but he turned out to be good, and directly emptied the entire mountain.
Chen Zhengqian rolled his eyes: "How is it possible, it's just that I accidentally went too far." ”
He didn't want to do it himself, it was obviously the result of two pets competing with each other, and he was just a wildlife porter.
Dad was speechless, so he played too much with an understatement, and he scourged most of the small animals on the mountain, and his son was also very powerful.
The main course of dinner is, of course, these game.
Chen Zhengqian is not one of those environmentalists who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
As a native of the countryside, it would be nice to be able to eat enough when I was a child, where would I think about so many others. He has even eaten bamboo shoots and insects, and these wild animals will not be taken into his eyes.
Even the sixth uncle lamented that it had been many years since he had seen so many wild animals at one time. In the 6th and 70s, there were still a lot of them, but with the passage of time, more people hunted them, and the number of animals in the mountains decreased significantly. Especially now, after the mountain is contracted to private people to plant trees, it is rare to see even a hare in normal times.
Now Chen Zhengqian has caught so many wild animals at one time, which is really an eye-opener for the sixth uncle. So he put a lot of effort into it, and came up with his secret skills to cook this delicious dish well.
"Sixth uncle, Zhenbin, come and eat together, there are so many dishes, the three of us can't finish it!" When the meal was served, the father warmly invited the sixth uncle and his son to have dinner together.
Chen Zhengqian also said: "Yes, Uncle Six, let's eat together, it's all family members who don't need to be polite." "There are not so many rules in private, what is the use of having a meal together with the folks in the big hometown.
At first, the sixth uncle hurriedly refused, but at the kind invitation of Chen Zhengqian and his son, the sixth uncle and father had no choice but to agree. To tell the truth, with so much game, the sixth uncle himself is actually secretly drooling, and the opportunity is rare, so let's have a cheeky meal.
This meal was full of laughter and laughter.
After eating, Chen Zhengqian hid in his room and began to liquidate the gold and silver treasures he had brought out in the general's ancient tomb with a Qiankun bag.
There were eleven boxes of different sizes, and the contents were also different. Silver is the most, followed by gold, and then jewelry.
As the so-called prosperous collection, gold in troubled times, that kind of war years, naturally gold is valuable, and only when there is money can there be food, and only then can there be soldiers and horses. In the Ming Dynasty, the amount of silver in circulation was large, and the popularity of silver was wide, so it is understandable that silver was at most.
The remaining two boxes are some jewelry, and I don't know if they were looted or Zhu Ciyi's private treasure collection.
Perhaps because of the age, the pieces of jewelry are a little old. Chen Zhengqian looked at these jewelry, and felt that compared with modern ones, the workmanship seemed relatively rough, after all, there was no high-power microscope in ancient times. Maybe they were all treasures in those days, but now it seems that they are more valuable to sell as antiques.
For example, a butterfly-shaped hosta is a white jade with a good texture, and the workmanship is quite good. But because of the long burial in the ground and the lack of maintenance, I can't bear to look at it directly, and I don't know if I can restore the original appearance.
But there are also well-preserved.
Chen Zhengqian found a bracelet inlaid with gold and jade, the workmanship is already top-notch among so many jewelry, and the preservation degree is quite high. The surface of the gold bracelet is carved with the zodiac signs, and it is a relief, with white jade inlaid in the middle. On the inside of the bracelet, the words "raise the case and raise the eyebrows" are engraved, implying that the husband and wife are harmonious and affectionate.
He plans to keep this bracelet for his mother. Because my mother doesn't have any jewelry, I haven't seen her wear any other jewelry except for the pendant she gave before. At that time, the family was poor, and when I got married, my father couldn't even afford a silver ring, so I moved in with my mother. I haven't made it up for so many years, and my mother hasn't mentioned it.
"Mom should like it. Chen Zhengqian said secretly. Although the gold bracelet looks suspicious of showing off wealth, rural people also like to pay attention to face, others will only envy when they see it, and the mother must be full of joy when she wears it.
"What is this?"
The gold bracelet was taken out, and Chen Zhengqian continued to count the items. Then, from a small box, he pulled out something that looked like a seal. On the surface, it looks like it's made of gold, and the gold turtle button is quite exquisite. Looking at the bottom again, it is engraved with the seal inscription - "Cijia Prince Seal", and I immediately understood that it was the prince's gold seal.
The seal has a long history from ancient times to the present. The names of seals in all dynasties are not exactly the same, but most of them are still the same.
Starting from Qin Shi Huang, it was strictly stipulated that the emperor used to call the seal, and even used the He's bi to cast a jade seal for the country, and the rest of the hundred officials used it can only be called a seal. In the Han Dynasty, the emperor and empress used seals, the generals called seals, and the rest of the officials used seals. So much so that the later dynasties basically followed the name of the Han Dynasty.
The texture of the seal is also divided into many kinds, naturally the jade is the most precious, and the older the jade, the more valuable, because the ancient gentlemen have always liked to use jade as a metaphor, symbolizing noble character, so many profiteers, like to use the new jade fried as ancient to deceive people.
And the seal of the prince is generally made of gold. However, because the texture of gold and silver is too soft, it is not easy to engrave, and the handwriting is even more difficult to show, so when casting and sealing, a certain amount of copper will be mixed into it. In this way, it is not only easy to form, but also easy to engrave. There are also some gold medallions that are gilded with copper.
The raised part of the seal is used to perforate the lacing on the top, which is called a button. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it has been stipulated that in addition to the dragon button used by the emperor, the crown prince used the gold and silver turtle button, the princes and kings used the gold seal Luo button, the officials above 2,000 stone used the silver seal turtle button, and the officials above 600 stone used the copper seal nose button, etc.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty royal family, the treasure of the palace, the font engraved at the bottom, the use of jade seal, this kind of seal calligraphy strokes at both ends of the fat and thin, the end of the front, also known as the most authentic seal.
This Crown Prince Gold Medal has all of the above elements.
However, this thing is also the high point of collection value, and it is not easy to sell, so you have to meet a good collector in this area. Let's keep it for now.
Chen Zhengqian casually put the seal back.
"Mom, this is for you. ”
Outside the living room, his parents were watching TV, and Chen Zhengqian handed the gold bracelet to his mother.
When my mother saw the gold bracelet handed over by Chen Zhengqian, she was very surprised: "Why are you buying this thing? It's a waste of money, why don't you discount it for me and keep it for groceries!"
said so, but Chen Zhengqian obviously saw her looking at the bracelet, and her eyes flashed with joy.
Chen Zhengqian had a black line: "Anyway, it's not worth much, you can wear it and play." ”
"Are you using fake perfunctory me?" the old mother was immediately dissatisfied.
Chen Zhengqian hurriedly said: "This is real gold, don't lose it." ”
If the mother thinks it's a fake and takes it away to give it away, or gives it to the child to play with, it will be a big loss.
