Chapter 357: Family Heirloom

The wooden box was still wrapped in a piece of silky silk, and Chu Shengyi continued to open the cloth. The contents were not sold indiscriminately before, for fear of being deceived, and for fear of causing trouble. Now I don't have so many worries, so much time has passed, plus these are acquaintances, and I am not afraid of being deceived.

In fact, he knows everything very well. These are all treasures handed down from the ancestors, and they can't be cut off like this, and they have to be left to Chu Jiaqiang to keep them in the future. Moreover, the situation of the family is much better now, and there is no need to sell the things of the ancestors to live.

He just wanted to replace the few banknotes kept inside, which were worth collecting in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of rural people, they were outdated, unlike hard currencies such as gold and silver, which would never become obsolete.

Chu Jiaqiang also wanted to see what his grandfather passed down to him. He was strange, when my father gave him the map of mountains and rivers, he also said that it was an heirloom, why did he have two copies? Grandpa gave one to his father, and one to his second uncle?

After opening it, the most eye-catching thing inside was still a dozen gold bars and gold ingots. In addition, there are two jade carvings, two pairs of jade bracelets, as well as several ancient books and some banknotes.

"These two pairs of jade bracelets were originally intended by my mother to leave to the two daughters-in-law, but at that time, alas! As a last resort! Well! Xiaoping chooses a pair herself! Girl, you also take a pair, it is passed on to you by your mother, take it well, don't lose it. Chu Shengmin warned Chu Jiawan.

The two women were overjoyed, and each took a pair. The second aunt smiled faintly, when people are at her age, this thing is not rare, and it is only right to pass it on to her daughter.

"Huh! These jades are rare and good jade! When Zhou Furong saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up. I don't pay so much attention to the gold bars and gold ingots inside.

"Brother Zhou, what kind of jade is my bracelet?" Chu Jiawan put the bracelet on her hand, and a cool feeling came. This one is all green and very beautiful. And the one Ye Caiping got was milky white, as tender and bright as mutton fat.

"Emeralds?" Wells recognized the treasure at a glance.

Zhou Furong nodded: "If you read it right, it should be." This is the supreme green gemstone, whether it is cloudy or sunny, whether it is under artificial or natural light sources, it always emits a soft and intense light. It is also a symbol of luck and happiness, and the ancients even believed that those who wore emeralds would have supernatural prophetic abilities that would make them think intelligently and prevent diseases. ”

"Ahh This is the legendary emerald! Liang Yu and other women only have envy in their eyes, this treasure may not be able to be bought even if there is money outside, it is very precious.

"Don't bring it outside in the future, bumps and loses it, it's a huge loss, and it will even cause danger. Wear it at home, or hide it away. Zhou Furong suggested.

When the second aunt heard this, she hurriedly raised her ears and ordered her to educate her, and she had the intention of snatching it back and hiding it.

"Don't be envious, you're not bad. That's the best mutton fat jade, I'm surprised. Your ancestors were small landowners, where did you get so many top treasures? It's not easy! A few pieces of gold are all that's all. Zhou Laogang saw that a few pieces of jade were almost all superb, and he was also stunned for a while.

Hong Lao also nodded: "Your piece is the best in white jade, mutton fat jade is a gem-grade material in Hetian jade, it is the best pure color white in white jade, with the best luster and texture, and it is manifested as: warm and dense, transparent and pure, white and flawless, like clotted fat, hence the name." The ancients said, "White and flawless" refers to your piece of jade.

Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to mutton fat jade, and it is the best in jade and is very precious. It not only symbolizes the gentlemanly character of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity", but also symbolizes the secular emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility". In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to wear high-quality white jade.

Hong Lao explained it like this, and Ye Caiping's psychology was balanced: it seems that the ancestors are not eccentric, and both pieces are superb.

Xu Qian is also happy for her daughter, this is a family heirloom! Hurriedly said to his daughter: "Hide it well, don't lose it, I will pass it on to your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"Can't I give it to my daughter?". Ye Caiping rolled her eyes.

Her grandfather Ye Lao smiled, everyone's first reaction was to think about their son, only Chu Shengmin would think of his daughter if he didn't have a son.

"These two jades are also good jade, they are the special jade of your Gaoxin City, also called Nanyu. The history of this kind of jade is very short, because of the scarce resources, it is regarded as a treasure by the jade world, and it is honored as Nanyu. Today, this jade has long since dried up. You may see a lot of jade in the city, but none of them are authentic southern jade. It's just that it is pulled over from somewhere else to carve and admire. "It seems that Hong Lao has also been to Gaoxin City.

Hearing that it was extinct, Chu Shengmin was even more fortunate that he didn't take it out and sell it at the beginning, and said with a little humility: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"What?" Chu Jiaqiang didn't understand why the second uncle showed such an expression and spit out such words.

"At the beginning, the eldest brother had an accident with the sister-in-law, and your second uncle almost took it out. Also, when you were in college. He's Xiao Xing now! However, if you are admitted to university, it is also a matter of honoring your ancestors, even if you lose a little family, your ancestors should forgive. The second aunt smiled.

It was also at that time that she learned that she had an heirloom in her family. But I also heard from my husband that I have never seen it, and today is the first time I have seen it.

Chu Jiaqiang then remembered that when he took the notice home, why did the second uncle look so preoccupied, it seemed to be very contradictory. He originally thought that this was because the second uncle was worried about his tuition, so when he was in college, he still worked part-time.

"Keep it well! These are rare treasures, and even if you have money, you can't redeem them in the future. Hong Lao said earnestly. Although the treasure is good, since it is a family heirloom, and there is no willingness to shoot, he can't win the love of others, he can only hope to keep it well, which is a national treasure.

Chen Wu and the others picked up a piece of gold ingot, which felt very fun. Jade is still what girls like, and men always like the saying that gold and silver mountains are in.

"It's just a little less, if there is such a big push, stacked on top of each other, it will be shocking enough." Li Quan gestured.

"You think it's a bank vault?" Chu Jiaqiang said angrily.

He didn't really care about the gold. This gold is about one million, and with his current net worth, there is no need to take it to heart. However, since it is left by the ancestors, it is still commemorative.

Jade is okay, after all, jade can raise people. The most important thing is that my sister and wife are happy to like it, when it comes to raising people, what is stronger than aura and spiritual water? He has a map of mountains and rivers, and the so-called treasures are only slightly valuable in Chu Jiaqiang's heart, and they are not even as good as the black pearls he found last time.
