Chapter 806: Lies at the bottom of the box
"Rouge box?" Wen Jia looked at the word "rouge" in the poem and smiled.
"That's right, it's a rouge box!" Tang Yi nodded.
Wen Jia then opened the lid of the box and sniffed carefully. There was nothing in it, but there was a vague scent.
This thing must have been used as a rouge box at that time, and the rouge box that could afford to use the high-grade Hetian white jade was not an ordinary person. Although later collectors should no longer use it as a rouge box, and after so many years, this taste can still be left a little.
The lid of the box is engraved with a poem, and there are some entwined branches around the box, Wen Jia looked at the bottom again, and the bottom was engraved with a square seal: Xu Fu.
"Xufu? It seems to be a big official surnamed Xu. Wen Jia looked at Tang Yi.
"During the Qianlong period, the official surnamed Xu, I only know Xu Ben, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and his son Xu Chao also did a household secretary in the Kangxi Dynasty, which is considered a famous family." Tang Yi thought about it.
Before Wen Jia could speak, Tang Yi continued, "However, it may not be that the big officials only use 'Xu Mansion', this can't be confirmed." During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, all officials and wealthy businessmen surnamed Xu could make this kind of rouge box. There is this seal, but it means that more than one or two have been made. β
"How much can this rouge box be worth?" Wen Jia asked with a smile.
"The jade quality is high, the craftsmanship is excellent, it's just a pity that it's a rouge box, but after all, it is a boutique in the Qianlong period, and if it is auctioned, it is still possible to be lucky to exceed one million." Tang Yi explained.
"Then I'll stay!" Wen Jia said, "This thing, let go of the rouge, the breath remains, and it can be made into a magic weapon." β
"Okay." Tang Yi nodded. Wen Jia spoke, this thing is not a heavy weapon, he agreed very happily.
This rouge box should have been given to the guqin by Boss Kong before. Setting up this secret cave is not something that Guqin can do by itself, it must be Boss Kong's intention, and the setting up of the secret cave should be before Boss Kong leaves, and then what to put should have been discussed with Guqin.
Compared with the other two heavy weapons, this white jade rouge box is too different in value, but for the guqin, it seems to have a special meaning. She was indeed hidden by the Golden House. But now that Boss Kong is gone, the meaning of this jade box, Guqin probably doesn't want to look at it anymore and think about it again.
Tang Yi and Wen Jia opened three wooden boxes, and now, there is only a rectangular box slightly longer than the glasses box left. Originally, the first two boxes directly produced two such fierce things, and Wen Jia also had high expectations for the third one, but it turned out to be not on the same level.
This last item, he couldn't guess, after glancing at Tang Yi, he directly picked it up and prepared to open it.
At this time, Tang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
The first three,When he was actually inspecting the box,He saw the Baoguang projection,Although I don't know what it is,But the general range is clearγ
However, this one, there is no Baoguang projection!
"Wait!" Tang Yi hurriedly shouted, and Wen Jia stopped when he heard this, "What's wrong?" β
"It's a little weird, let's take a look." Tang Yi reached out and took it, and while looking at it, he explained that he didn't see the Baoguang projection.
"No light? Could it be an ordinary thing with commemorative significance between the two? Wen Jia said, "Now that you have it, you have to take a look!" β
Tang Yi nodded, "I didn't say I wouldn't look at it, I said that before I saw it, I would see what the box was different about." β
This box, like the others, is heavily painted, has a lid, and has a copper buckle, which seems to be no different.
However, at the beginning, Tang Yi and Wen Jia didn't look at the bottom of the box, and at this time, Tang Yi turned the box over.
At the bottom of the box, there are actually some small characters engraved!
Yin carving, the handwriting is relatively shallow, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
Tang Yi brushed off the dust and carefully identified it: Southern Song Dynasty hosta, lotus leaf mandarin duck, my old collection, the most beautiful person. If there is a noble hand, the charming is no longer beautiful, please destroy the box. I don't want to destroy the heavens, but I can't leave this grudge.
This looks like Boss Kong said it. It is said that this is a lotus leaf mandarin duck hosta in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Jiaoren naturally refers to the guqin. This is Boss Kong's old collection, and it was given to the guqin, and it is also the guqin's favorite thing. If one day, someone gets this thing, he wants this person to destroy the box directly.
After all, the hosta belongs to Boss Kong, and since he gave it to the guqin, he doesn't want to sell it to others, otherwise there will be resentment.
The words are supposed to be engraved before they are hidden. Things are hidden so secretly, so the "noble hand" who can get the things must be the one who discovered the secret cave at the bottom of the stove. This is actually said to the person who took something out of the cave.
This request is not excessive, after all, the person who opened the hole is faced with four things, and taking away three of them, only to meet one request of the original owner, it can be regarded as taking a big advantage.
However, not too much does not mean that it is not strange.
The words at the bottom of this box are relatively small and inconspicuous, what if people just take things away and throw them away without looking at the box? Who did he leave a message for?
What does Boss Kong want to do?
Moreover, for Tang Yi, the strangest thing is not this. Because if it was really a hosta from the Song Dynasty, then he should be able to see the Baoguang projection, but he didn't see it.
Why can't you see it?
There are only two possibilities, the first is that Tang Yi's ability is problematic, and everything else can be seen, but he can't see the treasure light projection of this hosta.
Second, Boss Kong is lying!
Of course, Tang Yi didn't believe in the first possibility, because the three boxes were all seen, and it was impossible that just this one box could not be seen, and if it was not seen, it would be completely invisible. Even if there is a problem with the treasure light projection for jade, but the rouge box is also jade, he can see it!
Why is this Kong boss lying? Obviously there is no hosta in the Song Dynasty, but he said that there was, and he asked people to help destroy the box together?
Tang Yi glanced at Wen Jia, and Wen Jia was also thinking about this question.
I don't want people to see it and take it away, and I want people to destroy the box, but the "hint" is so inconspicuous.
"I'll take a look." Wen Jia raised her hand and shook it, "If you really don't want people to open it, if it's me, just put a piece of cloth on the bread outside the box, and writing big characters on the cloth is a reminder!" Now this kind of reminder, how many people can pay attention? β
Indeed, if Tang Yi hadn't seen Baoguang after examining it, he wouldn't have carefully consulted this ordinary wooden lacquer box again.
"Song Dynasty hosta, this thing is in line with the love token and the like, which can make people believe. After all, if he doesn't write anything, I'm afraid it will spark greater curiosity among those who get the box. Wen Jia continued to analyze, "But you can't see the Baoguang projection!" In other words, there is no Song Dynasty hosta in this at all! β
Tang Yi's brows furrowed tightly, "Inconspicuous prompts, fictional things, what is Boss Kong playing?" β
