Chapter 256: Gold Silk Jewelry Box
Sister-in-law Liu saw that Wang Xiu'e seemed to have something about to fall out, so she caught Wang Xiu'e's enamel jar.
Wang Xiu'e is also very polite, although she is a little rough, but she attaches great importance to etiquette.
Generally, people from rural areas are like this, very polite, and Wang Xiu'e is no exception.
Looking at Gu Shiyan's small table, Wang Xiu'e first put down the small box, then adjusted her seat, and after a while, Wang Xiu'e took out a few oranges from her arms and said, "I didn't find the bag, there are only a few left, eat it!" ”
Sister-in-law Liu was smiling on the side, still enthusiastic from her hometown, and then Gu Shiyan looked at the pink box and felt very novel, she didn't expect a woman like Wang Xiu'e to have such a delicate thing.
Wang Xiu'e looked at Gu Shiyan and kept staring at her box, and said, "Sister-in-law Liu knows what this is!" ”
Sister-in-law Liu said with a smile: "If Mrs. wants to see it, open it and take a look." ”
Wang Xiu'e said: "That's it, Sister Shiyan can just see it if she wants to, and this is not a rare object." ”
Gu Shiyan is also very happy to do such a thing, Gu Shiyan opened the box, it was full of melon seeds, a box full of them, Gu Shiyan looked at the melon seeds with a little gold on the skin and felt very good.
Wang Xiu'e grabbed a handful and said, "Sister Shiyan, look at this sunflower is grown by my own family, and the fried melon seeds are very fragrant." ”
Gu Shiyan said: "Sister-in-law Xiu'e, I don't think there is anything different about melon seeds, I think your box is very beautiful and old." ”
Wang Xiu'e hadn't read a book for a few days, so she hadn't paid attention to this thing, and seeing that Gu Shiyan was very curious about this thing, Wang Xiu'e told the story of this box.
This square box has six sides, the box is carved, and the six directions are engraved with the four big characters of Fu Lu Suki, and the box has a red tire paint on it, which is very beautiful.
Wang Xiu'e told Gu Shiyan that this box was when she was in her mother's house, the year she got married, her mother gave her a dowry, she thought it was a worthless object, but she didn't expect Gu Shiyan to be so interested in this box.
Gu Shiyan said: "Sister-in-law, your mother won't give you a light box!" ”
Wang Xiu'e said: "Women in our era got married with some small dowry, this box contains a gold bracelet, my mother had three daughters, I was the youngest, so this is given to me." ”
"The workmanship of this box is very good, I like it very much, but at the beginning, our family was poor and couldn't eat, so Lao Wang took the table as a table, and our mother and mother couldn't eat or drink! If you do it, you can do it, I was originally going to pass it on to my son, but now that I have money, I don't know where to redeem it. ”
Poor people have such feelings, and Gu Shiyan can also understand Wang Xiu'e's mood very well.
However, in Gu Shiyan's opinion, this box is not just a box for jewelry, it seems to be very old and looks very collectible.
Over the years, Gu Shiyan has been mixed in the jewelry industry, and has seen a lot of boxes containing jewelry, each of which is very exquisitely made, plus the very popular flowers and jewelry in recent years, these boxes are needed as a foil, so the gift box is also very good.
Looking forward to the tobacco, there is now a department specializing in the production of gift boxes to design, antique, jewelry boxes.
A jewelry box made of such a material, at present, has never been seen in the market, and Gu Shiyan saw that this box was very in line with the workmanship of the Qing Dynasty, so in order to satisfy her curiosity, Gu Shiyan picked up the box and poured out all the melon seeds inside.
The bottom of the box is very complicated, it looks like there are a lot of lines, I don't know if it's because of too much time, I can't see the original appearance of the lines, it's roughly a happy word.
The whole box has different textures and patterns, Gu Shiyan gently looked at it with her hand, the carving on it was very clear, Ruan Run didn't feel like a modern thing, Gu Shiyan was also very interested in collecting cultural relics, and even studied archaeology.
Gu Shiyan looked at the box over and over again, turned the box over, and there was a seal at the bottom that was not very obvious, which seemed to be the head of some famous general, and it looked very similar to the workmanship and techniques of the Qing Dynasty.
Jewelry boxes like this should not be made of ordinary wood from the perspective of material, because the box is made of a whole piece of wood, so the texture of the wood can also be seen at the bottom of the box, but the internal structure is very beautiful, Wang Xiu'e was also very shocked to see it on the side.
Gu Shiyan was very curious, he wanted to take out this box and study it carefully, Wang Xiu'e naturally saw Gu Shiyan's thoughts, this box is indeed very beautiful, but for Wang Xiu'e, this box is worthless.
Wang Xiu'e said: "I like to take it to study, I don't have much effect on me, when my mother gave it to me, I fancy the bracelet inside, and now the bracelet is gone, the box I don't think it's too meaningful, so I use it to hold melon seeds, but I feel that he is very handy, so I take it to load melon seeds, if you like it, you can take it." ”
Of course, Gu Shiyan will not covet the small profits in front of her, after all, she is very compatible with Wang Xiu'e, and he also likes this player's sister-in-law very much, Gu Shiyan said: "Put the box here for the time being, I'll help you take a look, you will know when the time comes, and I will return the box to you, but when I return the box to you next time, don't take it out easily, because this box looks very unusual." ”
Wang Xiu'e felt that the story was like a joke, she had been with this box for most of her life, and she had used it to hold melon seeds for most of her life, and she didn't know why Gu Shiyan said that this box was valuable, Wang Xiu'e couldn't help but say: "That's okay, if you like it, you can take it, I don't need this thing, if you think he is valuable and want to return it to me, I will come and get it myself." ”
Observing this box over and over again, Gu Shiyan's understanding of wooden jewelry boxes is still relatively shallow, so she wanted to find a special tool to take a look, and changed Sister-in-law Liu and said: "Sister-in-law Liu, please go to my room and bring my set of tools over and over now, I want to take a look at this box of sister-in-law Xiu'er." ”
Sister-in-law Liu also wondered in her heart, she and Wang Xiu'e were also half of the countrymen, and when she got married, her mother also left a jewelry box for herself.
However, there is no Wang Xiu'e's delicate beauty, and I don't know what the difference is with this box, generally Gu Shiyan's tools are more valuable, and now Sister-in-law Liu feels in her heart that maybe the box in Wang Xiu'e's hand is a treasure.
Sister-in-law Liu quickly ran to Gu Shiyan's bedroom with the mentality of leaving the world behind, and took Gu Shiyan's tools down.
Gu Shiyan looked at the things in her hand, and suddenly found that the happy word at the bottom seemed to be a little different, and it was too late to pickle the story, so when Sister-in-law Liu came over, she took a toothpick on the table and slid it along the lines at the bottom of the river.
The lines at the bottom highlighted Gu Shiyan, looked at Sister-in-law Liu and said, "Give me something, I feel that this box is not ordinary." ”
Wang Xiu'e also thinks that this is not something valuable? While carving melon seeds and drinking the tea in the tea jar, Wang Xi'e said: "This little sister, what can this box be for?" Not yet, my tea fragrance is not as delicious as my melon seeds, you can stop it, don't look at it, there is something, if you like it, I will give it to you. ”
The boldness of the northern woman was vividly concealed by Wang Xiao'e, although Wang Xiu'e and her man have been having trouble recently, but they are very kind and friendly to their neighbors and other people.
And he is a very atmospheric person, he saw that Gu Shiyan liked this box so much, so he wanted to give it to her.
Story Yan is also a person who takes it well, if this box is really the value he thinks in his heart, he will pay his own reward to get this box.
Gu Shiyan knocked on the dirt on the box with something, and then brushed in a huge happy word with a brush, revealing in front of her eyes, this box seemed to be produced for jewelry.
The whole Xizi was wound with gold threads, and now Gu Shiyan was like discovering a new continent, Gu Shiyan gently handled the ditches and ravines on the box.
Wang Xiu'e was eating oranges, looking at the scene in front of her, she was stunned, a broken box that had been with her for so many years had not been thrown away because it looked good.
Nowadays, there should be a lot of melon seed ash, so the box is very inconspicuous.
Now Gu Shiyan didn't have the heart to drink tea, and the jewelry box became a treasure in her hand.
After a long wait, Gu Shiyan cleaned all the dirt on the box, the box looked very beautiful, and the box was made of rosewood.
The box itself is made of a whole section of tree trunk, the gold wire is inlaid six times hexagonal, the four sides of the box are used in relief with the four sacred beasts, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu, and the remaining two sides are engraved with the style of the dragon and the phoenix.
The seal on the box is now fully revealed, this box came from the court, and later spread to the people, if you trace back to the source, this box should be used by the ladies in the palace.
Gu Shiyan carefully wiped the box, and such a perfect hexagonal gold wire inlay box was displayed in front of people.
Wang Xiu'e was even more stunned, looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't believe it at all, this was given to her by her mother.
Wang Xiu'e knew that her ancestors were officials, but she thought it was a joke, but now it seems that it may be something left by her ancestors.
Wang Xiu'e didn't dare to shout at this time, so she said: "Sister Shiyan, when my mother gave me such an inconspicuous box, I originally thought that such a dirty box should not be a good thing, but later I found that there was a gold bracelet in it and I was happy for a long time, and now it seems that the box is worth more than the bracelet!" ”
