Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shu King's Mansion Picks Up the Leak

After eating the egg cake and baking cake, I proposed to Grandpa Xu to go to the Shu Palace.

Grandpa Xu originally took Duan Huan out to go shopping this afternoon, and he originally thought that Duan Huan would like the bustling and lively Chunxi Street and Yanshi Street.

But I didn't expect that I didn't feel the bustling place, but was interested in the tattered city tower.

For Huanhuan's requirements, Grandpa Xu is very willing to meet them.

The Shu Palace, which was originally the symbol of imperial power in Jincheng in the Ming Dynasty, was called the small Forbidden City by later archaeologists, and the construction history was longer than that of the Forbidden City.

Although its regulation is the palace, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's love for this eleventh son, the Shu palace was built with the same majestic style and magnificence as the Forbidden City.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, there were 62 princes who were named vassal kings, and there were 50 vassal palaces, which were distributed all over the country, and only Zhu Chun, the king of Shu who was canonized in Jincheng, was the only one that existed within a province.

That's why there is a saying that "only the king of Shu is the richest in the world".

The original Shu Wangfu was jokingly called the imperial city by the people of Jincheng, and the square outside the city gate can be called the imperial city dam.

But now it is no longer visible, once resplendent appearance, the most magnificent feudal palace of the Ming Dynasty after hundreds of years of history, after several military disasters and wars, has been full of devastation and crumbling.

However, there are still many buildings remaining, the most magnificent of which are the Mingyuan Tower and the Zhigong Hall with triple eaves, as well as the Tribute Courtyard built in the Qing Dynasty.

Through the brick and tile carving of Mingyuan Building and Zhigong Hall, you can still imagine the appearance of the Shu Wangfu once carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions.

The Gongyuan built the place for the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty, and later Sichuan University also ran a school here.

Later, the Gongyuan was changed to a market, and now in the period of planned economy, speculation is not allowed, and grass grows on the ground in the market.

She happily climbed to the highest point of Mingyuan Tower, the height of the city tower, allowing her to easily overlook Renmin South Road and now the South Gate area of the entire Jincheng.

However, the Mingyuan Building under the feet now will be demolished in a frenzy in the future and turned into a revolutionary science and technology museum.

She felt that it was a pity and a pity, but what could she do was to take a second look at the last appearance of this building, so that it would remain in her memory for a few more years.

After turning the city tower, Huanhuan walked around the square below, although the cracks in the floor tiles on the ground were covered with grass, but it did not affect Huanhuan's interest.

While walking, I also observed the faintly recognizable glazed tiles on the castle tower.

It is said that when the Shu Wangfu was first built, a kiln was specially opened to burn paper glazed tiles, and the kiln later became a place name in Jincheng today - Liuli Factory.

A "squeak-thump" sound sounded as a crack.

Huan just kept looking up at the glazed tiles, didn't pay attention to the feet, heard the sound and buried his head to look, it turned out that the bricks under his feet were broken, and the floor tiles were now broken in half, and half of the stuffing went into the ground.

That's not right! Even if the floor tile is broken in two, it will not be filled into the ground, unless the bottom of the brick is hollow, so it is easy to break.

The underground is hollow, either a disaster or a treasure!

Huan Huan glanced around, except for herself, there was only Grandpa Xu who was sitting under the city tower resting, she quickly took away the two broken bricks, and there was nothing but a pit below.

Is it because you are thinking too much?

As he was about to fill in the bricks, the bricks rubbed against the mud of the floor tiles next to him, and there was a muffled sound.

Duan Huan buckled the piece of mud with his hand, and a piece of wood appeared, it seems that there is a play!

She used her fingers to remove the loose bricks next to her, gently brushing away a layer of mud from the ground, and a box of ebony wood forty or fifty centimeters square appeared in front of her.

Wan Huan let go of his mental power first, and quickly checked if there was anything else in the soil.

After finding out that there was none, I quickly crossed some mud in the ground of the space, filled in the empty holes, and then paved the floor tiles.

Grandpa Xu saw that Huan was squatting there for a long time without moving, and came over to her and asked, "Xiaoyu'er, what are you doing here?" ”

"Shh~ Zuzu, I've dug up the treasure, let's hurry home!" Wan Huan stretched out his dirty hand and made a silent gesture.

Grandpa Xu looked like a cheerful little look, touched her head, and went back with him.

As soon as he got home, he dragged Grandpa Xu straight to the backyard and took out the box that had just been dug up like a treasure.

The lock on the box was already rotten, and Duan Huan ripped it off with a little effort, "Why does this lock rot faster than wood?" The quality is not up to par, huh? ”

"You don't know, wow! This box is made of ebony, and it must not be perishable! Grandpa Xu picked up the box and looked at it carefully.

"There is a box of jewels at home, it is better to be half square of ebony, no matter what the box contains, you will make a lot of money today!"

Ebony, isn't it the legendary gloomy wood, which has the reputation of oriental sacred wood and plant mummy.

And because ebony is buried underground for thousands of years without decaying, it is believed to have spirituality and can ward off evil spirits and blessings, which has always been a favorite of cultural lovers.

Thirty years later, a string of ebony bracelets will casually sell for a sky-high six-figure price.

After knowing that the box was ebony, she was more careful when she opened the box, but it is estimated that it has been buried in the ground for a long time, and there is pressure inside this box, which cannot be opened easily.

I was reluctant to pry open it with a sharp object like a knife, and after tossing for a long time, I suddenly had an idea-spiritual power.

Huanhuan turned his spiritual power into a small needle, drilled into the gap of the box, and exerted force together.

The gap was wide open, and as soon as I pulled it, the box opened.

The first thing that catches my eye is a crumpled ball of oiled paper, and I take out a paper bag and open it to take a look.

It was actually a pair of tired silk gold bracelets inlaid with ruby sapphires, and the gems and gold wires were intact, but the color was a little dull.

Such a rich style of gold and silk, inlaid with treasure and jade, is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty at a glance.

Then I opened the oiled paper bag below, and there were earrings, rings, and a complete set of heads and faces (there were seventeen or eighteen hairpins of all sizes), all of which were made of tired silk and gemstones to form auspicious patterns.

Among them, the hairpin also has the shape of a phoenix bird, so it must be produced by the palace.

After all, the hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty was still very strict, and it was not a royal family that could not use the phoenix bird pattern.

Grade women generally use Zhai (a kind of pheasant), which looks similar at first glance, but the tail looks very different.

After these jewels were dismantled one by one, Duan Huan actually found two strings of white jade forbidden at the bottom of the box.

It was not wrapped in oiled paper, it was messily tangled, lying at the bottom, and the silk threads were a little rotten.

The so-called forbidden step, is tied on both sides of the waist tassel style of gold and jade beads, if the walking steps are too big and too fast, the gold and jade on it will hit each other to make a sound, in order to warn to follow the rules of the step, the demeanor is steady.

These two strings of forbidden steps, with the main body of the jade inlaid cat's eye stone, the lotus leaf-shaped white jade head is embossed with a phoenix shape, and the layers of white jade and cat's eyes are arranged down in turn, which is very exquisite.

As for why they are so casually together, it is estimated that the people who hide the treasure do not know the goods, and think that jade is not as easy to realize as gold.

These jewels looked like they were in a hurry, wrapped in oiled paper indiscriminately, and hurriedly lifted the floor tiles, and dug a pit and buried them in the ground.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Jincheng with artillery fire, and the last king of Shu threw himself into the well with his concubines and concubines.

These jewels are estimated to have been stolen and buried by eunuchs or subordinates in the palace while they were in chaos, and they were ready to be picked up after they were settled.

But in the end, this box of jewelry was buried in the ground for hundreds of years, but it made Duan Huan pick up the leak.

There are already a lot of antique jewelry in the Huanhuan space, and today this box of Shu Wang Concubine jewelry still gave her a big surprise.

After all, who hates a lot of money?

Besides, it's not as happy as it gets, and when Mingyuan Building is violently demolished a few years later, it's not cheap for those people who are full of slogans and are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

They say that these are feudal relics, and when they see jewelry, they don't rush to put it in their pockets?
