Chapter 280: There's something strange in the jewelry box
Ning Hua was really startled when he was sorting out the antiques in Faka with Ning Yuan at that time.
The three warehouses are all antiques, and most importantly, there is a warehouse full of antique birdcages and cricket jars.
Steward Qin has always been by Faka's side for many years, and pointed to the nail number treasury, "This treasury was specially ordered by the old man to the distant master and Fujin at that time, saying that over the years, I am sorry for the two brothers and sisters, and as for B and C, they said that the brothers and sisters were divided equally. ”
Because in order to show fairness and openness, all the younger brothers and sisters were present, and of course, there was also Ning Cheng, who was the representative of the long house.
And Steward Qin has always won the trust of Faka, and those concubines naturally don't think that they will help Ning Yuan and them cheat, not to mention, if the brothers and sisters really want to do something, there is no need to call themselves here, after all, as the eldest son, they are originally qualified to occupy all the private houses of Faka.
In terms of righteousness, it is absolutely defensible, even if the lawsuit is brought to any yamen, they also know that they have absolutely no chance of winning.
Therefore, a few concubines are quite excited about being able to share some antiques, after all, it is a windfall.
"Ning Yuan, do you brothers and sisters really plan to auction it?" In fact, Ning Cheng felt that it was not easy for the third uncle to collect these antiques, and only the son of a loser would use them to sell his father's antiques, so he did not support or approve of it.
"The eldest brother must also know that Ama didn't do anything else except buy antiques before, and there were not many three-bedroom shops at that time. Although there is a profit, however, it is about a few thousand taels a year, although it is not a lot, but it is indeed difficult to pay for the marriage of several younger brothers and sisters, no matter what, we always hope that the marriage of our younger brothers and sisters will be prosperous. ”
Ning Hua smiled and said, "What's more, Ama also had an explanation before he was paralyzed. Parenting. Naturally, we hope that our children will be safe and happy, and Amma will definitely support our move, and the eldest brother is too worried. ”
Although Ning Cheng is really average in many aspects, plus people have a mother who makes Ning Hua hate. Merely. It is indeed true that he sincerely considers the Ning Hua brothers and sisters. Therefore, Ning Hua is also very fond of others.
And after everyone sorted it out, all of them were antique birdcages, except for the number C. and cricket jars, and the storeroom of the B number is some vases, some calligraphy and paintings, and some furniture in good condition.
"These furniture, the third master said at that time, I want to collect more, so that I can add makeup to a few daughters at that time, after all, good wood is hard to find, but now I have made up such a set, this is ......" Steward Qin said with some embarrassment.
There are several of them who are not married, and if the sisters are divided and can't make up a set, if they are given to one of them, the other people will have some other thoughts.
"That's it, I'll let people calculate it in two pieces of silver, and when the time comes, let's sell these, no matter how much we make up for it, sisters, let's see, who has a favorite, and when the time comes, bring it up yourself, and the sisters are always negotiable." Ning Hua smiled.
Several sisters stepped forward to take a look, and some felt that if Ama was still good, with the degree to which her mother was favored in front of Faka, it would definitely belong to her, and there was no need to fight at all.
This is mainly like Aunt Zhen's daughter, who feels that it is their own thing, and now they have to spend their own money to buy back their own dowry, so they feel a little reluctant.
And some of them feel that it is better to get some silver.
Although it is possible that some things will be auctioned, but most of them must be sold, and these things are no matter what, after all, they are Faka's, and each person leaves some things, which can be regarded as the relationship between father and son and father and daughter.
Basically, everyone picks in the B warehouse, some pick calligraphy and paintings, and some pick vases.
Anyway, everyone knows that the ranking of warehouse B must be before C, and the turn of warehouse A is not good, so it is naturally expensive.
Besides, the C treasury is full of bird cages or cricket jars, and he is a motivated person, how can he learn from a plaything like Amma?
Even if you are really interested, you can't pick these things now, you have to know that your daughter-in-law candidate has not yet been implemented.
It is necessary to give a good impression to the future foreign family, and as for the daughter-in-law to enter the door, then certain things can be revealed.
Ning Hua saw that others had picked one, so he picked one himself.
She didn't pick it from the B warehouse, not pretending to be high, it is inconvenient to take the vase, as for calligraphy and painting, to be honest, can you expect a person who has always liked flowers, birds, fish and insects to buy what is good, or is it worth better?
Therefore, I picked a jewelry box from the C warehouse.
It's made of wood, it smells fragrant, and it looks like it's been around for some years, even if it's not a rare antique, but the style is good, and it feels like a modern stepped jewelry box to Ning Hua.
Although I also have my own jewelry box, however, it is good to pick one for Zhiwei, there are more and more jewelry for the little guy, and some valuable ones are naturally locked up by Ning Hua, and they will be used as a dowry for her in the future, but some of them are smaller, so that she usually wears them.
Like the current jewelry box is the kind of layer-by-layer, Ning Hua prefers this kind of stepped type, you can put some of the ones that are often brought recently, and there are some wooden shelves that can be carried, which is easy to carry.
I don't know if this kind of box was made by a traverser, after all, I have been to many Fujin's rooms, and I have never seen such a jewelry box.
After everyone picked it, they let Steward Qin record it, and then let several masters invited from Rong Bao Zhai taste the things in the two warehouses one by one.
These three masters can be regarded as veterans of the antique industry in the capital, and they are quite popular in the circle, and they have been tasted by people from Rong Bao Zhai, and the people who go to participate in the auction are also very relieved.
Rong Bao Zhai's people mainly divided the value of the items, a total of three grades, after all, there are too many small things, probably marked some prices, and a few people also went back.
After Ning Hua and Ning Yuan and others took a look, they found that there were probably more than 20 pieces of the highest grade, and the estimated value was about 400 to 500 taels, and the lowest was about 20 to 50 taels, and these were the most, with nearly 200 pieces.
On the day of the official auction, Ning Hua had the things transported to the tea yard.
In addition to himself and his sister-in-law, his younger brothers and sisters-in-law also sent representatives to the scene.
It should be said that Fakha's thinking really cannot be viewed with common sense.
Therefore, after letting the old Xingzun of Rong Bao Zhai come, Ning Hua also asked people who were familiar with each other to see, these two people, one is often helping the fourth elder brother's mansion to buy some antiques, and the other is helping his own mansion to watch.
It should be said that there are seven or eight things in the warehouse of the C number, not only in good condition, but also in higher value.
I don't know if Lu Dao was sold to Fakha by someone else, or if it was a leak picked up by Fakha in the early days.
Why would Ning Hua find someone to take a look again? The main thing is that there is a problem with the jewelry box.
After Ning Hua returned home that night, he threw the jewelry box to Zhiwei.
Zhiwei has always had a hobby, like to knock and beat, anyway, Eniang said, this jewelry box is not very valuable, Zhiwei is a child after all, what do you know, it is not worth it, people don't directly use it as firewood, it is already very face-saving for Ning Hua.
After beating for a while, Zhiwei found that although the box may be divided into three layers, each layer is actually a box.
This makes Zhiwei so excited, could it be a treasure map? For example, the treasure map of a rich family in the previous dynasty?
These days, Zhiwei has read a lot of books, and some picture books or something, plus listening to what some classmates in the study said, the knowledge is quite broad, and it is no longer the little girl who just came out of Zhuangzi and has never seen each other.
She likes to play that kind of treasure game, mainly because she hasn't played it, and she thinks in her heart that there must be treasures in this jewelry box, otherwise, what kind of box.
This kind of good thing naturally has to be shared with Aunt Zhang, where is Eniang, I can't tell it for the time being, you have to know that Eniang has swallowed a lot of her treasures.
Although I will return it to myself in the future, I can collect my own things, and I am not a two- or three-year-old child.
Zhiwei didn't come up with anything for a long time, and he still slept with the jewelry box at night, originally Aunt Zhang thought that Zhiwei would not be able to sleep all night, after all, the jewelry box was not opened, although Xiao Gege was greedy for sleep, but it has always belonged to the master who would not be able to sleep as long as he had something in his heart.
However, what I didn't expect was that Zhiwei Huhu slept soundly, and after waking up, he was also refreshed, not to mention how ruddy his little face was.
Aunt Zhang actually told Baizhu about it that night, and asked Baizhu to tell Ning Hua, Ning Hua felt that the jewelry box was given to Zhiwei, let her go and tinker, anyway, if it is broken, it will be broken.
However, listening to Aunt Zhang's report the next day, I felt that the box had a calming effect?
After all, his daughter knows it herself.
And although Zhiwei hasn't opened the box yet, Ning Hua thinks that if he wants to buy double insurance, he asked people to take a look again, what if Rong Baozhai's people also look at it?
That's hard to say.
After all, there were too many goods that day, and people just looked at it.
Sure enough, after a look, I found a few more things that could be sold at a high price, which was a surprise.
As for Zhiwei's box, it is still in her fiddling and beating, anyway, since it was given to her, it is the little one's, whether it is gold or silver in it, it is the little one's, of course, she broke it, that is her own responsibility.
In fact, those antique bird cages and those cricket jars were arranged by Ning Hua to be auctioned in Prince Jian's mansion.
After all, all the people who come to my tea yard are women's dependents, and they are doing the business of women's dependents, and no one who lacks brains will buy birdcages and cricket cans for their father-in-law. (To be continued......)
