Chapter 2 The Magical Jade Plaque

Su Zhen involuntarily held the jade plaque in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, only to feel that the jade plaque was full of clouds and mist, and there was a vague thing like a house, and when he wanted to look at it more carefully, he only felt that he was in a trance, and Su Zhen disappeared into the room.

"Here?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Zhen was dumbfounded, looking at the front of him incredulously, this is a large yard, estimated to be more than ten acres of land size, in the center of the yard is a small bamboo building, the bamboo building does not play, only dozens of square meters, there is a small pond a few meters in front of the building, I saw a silver line flashing in the pond, I think what kind of fish it should be. The yard was surrounded by a fence, but beyond the fence was nothingness, and the yard was green grass except for a gravel path. "I'm in the jade card," Su Zhen was shocked.

Su Zhen walked to the pond and took a closer look, there was a small pit on the edge of the pond, there was a spring in the pit that was bubbling up suddenly, a trickle of water flowed into the pond from the spring, only to see that the edge of the pond was not deep, it was crystal clear, and a wisp of aquatic grass was floating in the water, but the middle of the pond was bottomless, and there were only 2 kinds of fish and a kind of shrimp in the water, and Su Zhen happened to know that there were only 2 kinds of fish and one kind of anchovy, one of the two kinds of fish was whitebait, and the other was anchovy, both of which were small fish species, and the largest anchovy was only the size of two palms, But are groups of considerable numbers, these two kinds of fish are delicious, in ancient times are the royal offerings, especially the anchovy, this fish in the Qianjiang River basin is basically extinct, basically only in the Yangtze River basin there is a small amount of survival, but it is very strange, anchovy is a migratory fish, can actually be raised in this pond, and shrimp is shrimp, one by one has the size of a palm.

After watching the pond Su Zhen walked into the bamboo building along the path, there was only one room in the entire bamboo building, the doors and windows were closed, but there was no lock, push the general in, the darkness was not very clear, the center of the house was a table of eight immortals, and there was a set of purple sand tea sets on the table, Su Zhen opened a few windows first, and the house was brightened, and then he began to observe the furnishings in the house.

In the corner of the room is an ancient mahogany bed, and there are three large mahogany boxes at the head of the bed, which is very eye-catching.

In front of the back window is a large bookcase, the case is complete with four treasures, there are a lot of thread-bound books and letters, and there are also a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

There is a big cabinet that is often seen in costume dramas on TV next to the desk, with all kinds of porcelain and some carved ornaments on it, the most important thing for Su Zhen to take his eyes off is a transparent jade ornament, carved is a peacock, such a transparent and turquoise jade Su Zhen is still the first time to see it, he has only one thought in his mind, with this jadeite, he doesn't have to worry about it in this life. According to his mood, Su Zhen walked to the desk and opened a few letters on the table, although the letters were all in traditional Chinese, but they could still be understood, that is, the words were written from left to right, and it looked very unaccustomed.

After a long time, Su Zhen sighed and put down the letter he had read, according to the content of the letter and the analysis of the inscription, the original owner here was a big official in the Qing Dynasty, called Wang Youling, who had been besieged by the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for more than a month when he wrote the last letter. In this way, it seems that the things in this house are all antiques, and Su Zhen, who is familiar with the booming antique market in later generations, naturally has an idea of the value of these things in the house. Will a local master's collection be bad?

Su Zhen got up, once again focused on the three mahogany boxes at the head of the bed, opened the first big box, the box was a Qing Dynasty official uniform and a few seals, picked up the largest one looked like an official seal, the words engraved on the seal did not know, how could Su Zhen know that the official seal of the Qing Dynasty was half of the Manchu general seal characters, naturally it was incomprehensible, only the words on the yellow seal on the last side of the Lu were recognized, it should be Wang Youling's seal, I think it was Wang Youling's private seal.

When he opened the second box, Su Zhen was almost dazzled, a piece of gold was shining, and a box of gold bars was neatly stacked. At this time, Su Zhen was completely excited. This box of gold bars has hundreds of catties. However, Su Zhen quickly calmed down, after all, it is not ancient times, such a box of gold is too difficult to deal with, it is not as good as those porcelain and jade, according to the letters I have read before, these gold were seized by Wang Youling from the Taiping army, and there were tens of thousands of taels of silver together, all of which were ready to be transported to the capital to be dedicated to Daoguang, but unfortunately they were besieged before they could be transported out of the city, in order to prevent the money from falling back into the hands of the Taiping army, he rewarded all the silver to the army, leaving only this box of gold in this space.

Open the last box, there are not many things in the box, only 5 scrolls and a few books, but after taking out a few things, looking at the inscription of those paintings and calligraphy, Su Zhen was shocked, a picture of a lady by Liuru Jushi, a picture of Hai Dongqing by Lang Shining, a picture of Ji Kang's nest by the ear, a picture of Qiu Ying's flowers and birds, a picture of Li Yu's birds, and those books are "Hundred Miscellaneous Notes of the History of the Scriptures". Who are the Liuru laymen? The famous Tang Bohu, who is Lang Shining? Kang Yongqian, the court painter of the three dynasties, Ji Kang? The head of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest of the Jin Dynasty, Qiu Ying? Qingming Shanghe Tu knows the road, right? In addition to the original author Zhang Zeduan, he is the most famous painter, Li Yu? The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as the manuscripts of the "Hundred Miscellaneous Notes of the Classics and History", the author is Zeng Guofan, any one of these works will shock the entire collection world, even a layman like Su Zhen knows what these things mean.

He only thought that the collection of a Qing Dynasty official would not be simple, but he did not expect that it would be such an amazing thing.

After packing up these things, Su Zhen, who came back to his senses, came to the backyard again. There was a grape trellis in the backyard, which was full of ripe grapes, and although these grapes were ripe, none of them fell to the ground, which made Su Zhen feel very novel. Beneath the grape trellis is a stone table and several stone benches. Su Zhen couldn't help but pick a bunch of grapes and tasted it, two words, sweet! Fresh! The flesh is thick and the seeds are small, and I have never eaten such delicious grapes.

While eating grapes, I went around the whole yard a few more times, and suddenly found that I had a few on the ground

The grape seeds actually sprouted, and after a while, the vines were crawling on the ground, and I didn't know if it was the reason for the space or the water, and I didn't understand it for a while, but there was too much grape Su Zhen was afraid that the yard would not grow, and there was no shelf for them to grow, so he pulled out those seedlings.

After a while, Su Zhen thought about how I should get out, and as soon as he thought about it, he felt that he had returned to the room in a trance. This is Su Zhen heard the sound of chopping vegetables from the kitchen next to him, and then looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already more than 4 o'clock, it seemed that his mother was back. Su Zhen cleaned up his mood and walked out of the room.

I saw a book review on the mobile phone Internet that the Qingming Riverside Picture was painted by Zhang Zeduan, I think it may be that I didn't write it clearly, so I changed it slightly, Qiu Ying also painted the Qingming Riverside Picture, and it is in the collection of the Taiwan Museum.
