Chapter 109: Dynasties
Meng Dongyue almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood!
Although Mr. Wang did only ask one question, this one question is much more difficult than all the other questions!
Listening to Old Man Wang's tone, it was as if he really took advantage of it, but he really wanted to scare people to death!
Shi Jin didn't understand the mystery of Old Man Wang's words, but Chu Ning didn't understand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She snickered in her heart, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved.
Meng Dongyue looked at it with a grudge on his face.
I'm already so miserable, the little junior sister doesn't help or say anything, and she is still watching jokes on the side...... What about the good brother and sister relationship?!
"I said Xiao Dongzi!" Old man Wang said with the old god, "If you can't say it, it's nothing, just say it, and my old man won't embarrass you." The next time I see your master, I will remind him that he will strengthen your teaching on jewelry and antiques, and promise to help you make up for these things, how about it? ”
Well, after such a short period of effort, he even got a new nickname!
Especially what Mr. Wang said...... Even to poke such a trivial matter to his master? How can this work!
Wouldn't this ruin his perfect image in the master's heart?!
Meng Dongyue cried with a face: "Elder Wang, you specially cleaned me up for my grandfather today, right?" ”
Old Man Wang was amused by his expression and laughed.
"Okay, it's okay if I don't sue." After a long while, Old Man Wang finally calmed down, but the smile on his face never dissipated, "However, even if you guess today, you have to answer my question!" ”
Guess?
Meng Dongyue had a headache.
He doesn't have a clue, where to guess?!
Meng Dongyue's brows were furrowed.
Chu Ning was just watching the excitement from the side, but Old Man Wang glanced at her and saw her.
"Hey, little Chu girl, you can also tell me, what dynasty should this chain be?" Old Man Wang beckoned to Chu Ning, "Didn't Xiao Dongzi call you junior sister?" He's your father's apprentice, and you help him with ideas. He can't answer when he gets it, and he loses your father's face! ”
Now it was Chu Ning's turn to be dumbfounded.
Meng Dongyue's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Ning expectantly, his eyes were full of pleading, obviously wanting Chu Ning to hurry up and save the scene!
Shi Jin's face was expressionless.
He felt that with Chu Ning's knowledge, he should be able to answer his uncle's question.
But he didn't want Chu Ning to come out in order to help Meng Dongyue.
Speaking of which, he and Chu Ning have only met a few times, and there is no friendship between the two sides at all. On the contrary, Meng Dongyue and him have known each other for more than ten years, not to mention that the two are brothers, they are also very good friends, and they are much closer than Chu Ning.
But at this time, he hoped in his heart that Chu Ning would not help Meng Dongyue......
Shi Jin was shocked by his "shamelessness".
Being targeted by Old Man Wang and Meng Dongyue at the same time, Chu Ning knew that if he didn't say something this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.
But fortunately, she may not know the origin of this necklace, but if it is just about the dynasty, it is really not a difficult matter.
"Since Elder Wang, you just said to let Senior Brother Meng guess, then I'll help Senior Brother Meng guess!" Chu Ning blinked and smiled, and said, "I guess, this ruby necklace should be from the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Ming dynasty?
Meng Dongyue's head was full of question marks.
Shi Jin also looked at her curiously.
Old Man Wang said with interest: "Why is it the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Chu Ning said with a smile: "In the history of our country, the record of ruby can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, at that time, people only learned how to distinguish red and sapphires, and were not good at making rubies into delicate and beautiful jewelry. And as you just said, this necklace should be made by a court craftsman......"
Court craftsmen?
What does this have to do with the age of the necklace?
There are more question marks on Meng Dongyue's head.
The interest on Old Man Wang's face was even stronger: "Oh? ”
Chu Ning also smiled: "Although rubies were used in jewelry making early, they really began to be used in large quantities in the court, but they only began to rise in the Ming Dynasty, and they were especially common in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Moreover, it was also from the court that the number of people wearing ruby jewelry gradually increased. Therefore, you always say that this ruby necklace is from the court, and I immediately thought of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were more mature in this regard. ”
Old Man Wang didn't expect Chu Ning to remember his casual words so clearly, and he was suddenly more satisfied with Chu Ning.
"But even if that's the case, this necklace may be from the Qing Dynasty!" Meng Dongyue couldn't help but interject on the sidelines, "Why is it the Ming Dynasty?" ”
I didn't expect Meng Dongyue to ask such a stupid thing at all, and Chu Ning couldn't bear to look at his expression.
At such times, smart people should try to reduce their sense of existence. He's good, I'm afraid that Mr. Wang won't be able to remember him, at such a critical time, he has to jump out and show his face, and it's lucky not to be sarcastic by Mr. Wang!
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Dongyue's words fell, Old Man Wang glanced over.
"If you don't understand, don't make a fool of yourself, it seems that you are particularly uneducated!" Old man Wang hates the way that iron does not become steel.
Chu Ning almost laughed again.
Even Shi Jin, who has always been expressionless, has a lot of smiles in the corners of his eyes at this time.
Meng Dongyue lowered his head aggrievedly.
Old Man Wang ignored him, and said to Chu Ning: "Chu girl, you go on!" ”
Chu Ning shook his head with a smile: "Elder Wang, what else do you want me to say?" There were only two dynasties for this alternative dynasty, and the royal families of the Ming and Qing dynasties belonged to different ethnic groups, and the level of appreciation and clothing habits were obviously different. The style of this necklace is obviously the style of jewelry from the Ming Dynasty. In that case, do you need me to say more? ”
Meng Dongyue suddenly realized when he heard it.
No wonder Old Man Wang said that about him just now, such an obvious truth, he didn't even think of it!
Old Man Wang nodded with satisfaction: "You are right, this necklace is indeed from the court of the Ming Dynasty, and it is even recorded in some ancient books. It is rumored that this set of jewelry has long been lost, but I didn't expect that Weipu Auction House is so capable that it can find one of them! ”
It's even recorded in ancient books?!
Chu Ning was taken aback: "Really, Elder Wang?" What kind of ancient book is it? I've never seen it! ”
She guessed that such a valuable piece of jewelry should have some origin, and it was not surprising that it was recorded in the historical books. It's just that there are few such things in my grandfather's collection, and she usually doesn't pay special attention to them, so she doesn't know much.
