Chapter 332: Fakes
Huan Huan concluded that this jade seal was a fake of the Qing Dynasty, which was not simply from her conjecture, but also had a certain historical basis.
After Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was kicked out of the palace, he did not receive the 4 million living expenses promised by the Republic of China government at the beginning of the second year.
Pu Yi had no means of making a living, spending money and no planning, and his life soon became beyond his means.
What if you don't have money to spend? Swap things for it! Pu Yi brought out the treasures and antiques from the palace, which came in handy at this time.
The heirloom jade seal is also a fake in Pu Yi's eyes, and he doesn't value this heirloom jade seal. (The Qianlong Tian Huang triptych seal that he liked was treasured by him, and it was not until the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it reappeared)
So this heirloom jade seal, along with a batch of precious antique treasures, was pledged by Pu Yidian to the Bank of America for a loan.
said that it was a pawn, but Qian Puyi couldn't pay it back, or he wasn't ready to pay it back at all, and the pawn became a dead pawn.
After the redemption period, the bank decided to hold a public auction of the treasures.
At that time, this auction was deliberately publicized and fermented, which alarmed all forces, and Japan also sent people to participate in the auction.
Tie Baoting, a treasure connoisseur and a famous jewelry merchant invited by the foreign bank, felt that this was a Chinese thing, and how could it fall into the hands of foreigners.
In the end, with the help of his friends, Tiebao Pavilion finally spent a lot of money to buy the jade seal with this batch of treasures.
In April 1948, the Chiang family was defeated on the battlefield, so they asked the wealthy merchants of Pingjin to withdraw to Jinling, Hujiang, and Tiebaoting was also among the evacuees.
At that time, the Jinpu Railway was interrupted, and air tickets were scarce, so Tiebaoting had to take the waterway and take the jade seal of the country to climb the "Wanli" steamer to Jinling.
At that time, the situation was tense, and many people in the north wanted to retreat south, and the "Wanli" sailed towards Bohai Bay with serious hidden dangers when both passengers and cargo were seriously overloaded.
When traveling to the inner line of Rongcheng Bay, the sky is not beautiful, the sea is stormy, and the Wanli first deviates from the course, and then hits the reef and breaks the ship.
In the frightened environment where everyone's lives were worried, the jade seal of the country carried by the Tiebao Pavilion accidentally fell into the sea and was buried in the vast waves.
It stands to reason that it is difficult to see the jade seal of the country that sank to the bottom of the sea.
Even if it is washed ashore, the ocean current is moving, and the place where the jade seal appears should be far away from Rongcheng Bay.
Who would have thought that more than 20 years later, the jade seal of the country appeared in Rongcheng Bay again, and was brought to the joy by an octopus.
This extremely small probability of luck is tantamount to pie in the sky, and the joy can only be attributed to her koi physique.
Putting the jade seal into the space, Duan Huan continued to walk forward.
When he was treading water and playing, he didn't forget to pick up the seafood that was washed ashore and put it in the fresh-keeping warehouse of the space, ready to take it back to Grandpa Xu to try it.
Before I picked up much seafood, I saw that there were many fishing boats heading back to the sea.
Fishing boats are landing one after another, and fishermen are methodically tidying up the day's harvest.
As I approached the fishing boat, the fishermen were in full swing to pack up the seafood they had brought back.
The array of seafood is dizzying.
Scallops, sea bass, prawns, angler shrimp, yellow croaker, hairtail, mackerel, mullet, abalone, sea cucumber, sea urchin, cockle.
I only know these common ones, and there are many strange-looking ones that I can't name at all.
And there is also a strange place that these boats, all the women on and off the boats are busy.
"Little girl, whose family are you? Why haven't I seen you? A middle-aged woman asked as she collected her fishing nets.
He smiled and said, "Auntie, I came to the village with my family to visit relatives, and I was very curious to see you fishing, so I came to take a look!" ”
You must know how to protect yourself when you go out, and girls must always be vigilant.
Who knows if these people will be deceived when they see a raw face? Duan Huan first revealed that he was a relative of the villagers, and it was also to reduce trouble.
I had heard the little boy say that most of the people in the village were surnamed Wang, and I guessed that the villagers in the village were very likely to be from the same clan.
Villagers of the same clan and clan are all related to each other, how can they embarrass other people's relatives?
"I'll just say, how can a small fishing village like ours raise such a tender and white girl like you?" The woman said cheerfully and enthusiastically.
He shook his head modestly with a smile, "You're too much of a prize, I'm just like this when the sun is less!" ”
There is a middle-aged woman in a shirt and black pants, holding a notebook and directing the women to sort out the seafood.
The woman explained: "That's the captain of our women's team, who is responsible for registering the work, and these fish and shrimp will be sent to the team headquarters together!" ”
In this era, distribution is based on work, and fishermen, like farmers, rely on their work to eat.
After the seafood was sorted out, the women carried the fish with various tools and followed the women's squad leader, thinking that they were going to the brigade headquarters to hand in the fruits of their labor.
"Girl, there is a storm on this sea, you better go back quickly!" The woman who was talking to Duan Huan just now said to Duan Huan.
He replied with a smile: "Thank you aunt for reminding me, I'll be back!" ”
After playing outside for so long, Duan Huan was also afraid that Shen Yunqi would worry, so he was ready to go back.
On the sea in the distance, several large motorized ships appeared, and they were also driving in this direction, and they were probably also boats from this village.
The conditions of this Wangjiazhuang are quite good, and there are even motor boats, and he sighed secretly.
At present, the rural economy is collective, and the means of production are also publicly owned.
Fishing villages like Wangjiazhuang, whether boats or nets, are collectively owned by the village.
Now you need to save industrial coupons to buy an iron pot, not to mention a large item like a motor boat, which is definitely more expensive.
If Wangjiazhuang's income is small, let alone buying so many motor boats, I just can't think about it.
Qianjin Village, next door to Tianshui Village, bought a tractor last year, and Xu Jiajun's eyes have been hot for a long time, but he still hasn't taken action.
It's not that Xu Jiajun doesn't want to buy it, it's that there is not much money in the village's public account.
Huan Huan paced slowly back to Dong's house, and the chess game between Shen Yunqi and Dong Keqin was still in battle.
The big Dong and Xiao Dong brothers ran into the courtyard door one after the other, sweating profusely, both of them holding a large ball of bulging leaves in their hands.
Da Dong moved a small kang table from the kang head, and Xiao Dong spread two bags of leaves on the kang table.
A large pile of purple-red figs rolls around, followed by a rich, fruity aroma.
"Sister, eat figs!" Xiao Dong stuffed a big and red fig into Duan Huan's hand.
He smiled and thanked him, and waved his hand shyly.
Da Dong used an enamel plate to load a plate of figs, next to the chessboard of Dong Keqin and Shen Yunqi.
"Uncle Shen, this is the fig that my brother and I picked on the back mountain, you can taste it!"
"Good boy! Then you're welcome! Shen Yunqi touched Da Dong's head.
Shen Yunqi and Duan Huan can see that the two children of the Dong family are naughty and naughty, but the upbringing rules are very good.
The figs were broken in half from the bottom, and the crimson fruit pulps were neatly arranged.
Hold your middle finger against the peel, pinch the ends of the fig with both hands and gently break it, and the fruit pulp will come out.
The taste of figs is sweet and rich, and the sweetness is comparable to that of empty honey, but it has a fruity aroma and is not greasy to eat.
