Chapter 116: The Mysterious Rich Merchant
The entire set of gold-threaded jade clothes was placed in a special glass cabinet, and there was a cordon around to signal everyone not to approach. [Marshmallow]
Gu Ming stood beside him, looking at the golden jade clothes lying quietly inside through the glass, and even his breathing couldn't help but slow down a little. No photographs were allowed in this exhibition, so everyone could only let out exclamations from the side, and no one took out the tools to take pictures.
"It's nice, it's almost perfectly preserved." Professor Wang stood not far from Gu Ming, looking at the golden jade clothes in the glass cabinet with fascination, and couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.
In a glass case, this set of gold-threaded jade robes is composed of six parts: hood, upper body, sleeves, gloves, trousers and shoes, all made of jade pieces and decorated with gold wire.
Gu Ming Youzi carefully observed that there were jade eye caps and nasal congestion on the head of this jade robe, and genital cover boxes and anal plugs on the lower abdomen. The perimeter is edged with red fabric, and the trousers are edged with iron bars to make them reinforced. The face is covered with carved eyes, nose, and mouth shapes, the chest and back are broad, and the buttocks and abdomen are bulging, completely resembling a human body.
At first glance, it looks like this person is really wrapped in this jade robe, giving people a sense of novelty and a trace of fear.
Gu Ming was also fascinated by the golden jade clothes, she unconsciously gently stroked her left hand, her heart was itchy, she really wanted to call the glass cabinet and touch it with her own hands to see what kind of feeling this jade dress would bring her.
The golden jade clothes are no better than other jade, and such a set has to be made of at least more than 2,000 pieces of jade, and the materials and processes used in the selection of materials have strict requirements.
Not only that, but the golden jade clothes were not worn by ordinary people in ancient times, and the people who could wear the golden jade clothes after death were all powerful people.
The golden jade clothes are the highest standard funeral clothes in the Han Dynasty, which roughly appeared in the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty. According to the "Xijing Magazine", the emperors of the Han Dynasty used "pearl jade boxes" for burial. It is shaped like armor and is connected with gold wire.
This kind of jade box is what people call the golden jade clothes every day. At that time, people were very superstitious that jade could keep the bones immortal, and they used jade as a noble ritual and a symbol of status.
The jade clothes of the emperor and some of his close ministers were knotted with gold threads, called 'golden jade clothes', and other nobles used silver threads and copper wires to weave them, called 'silver jade clothes' and 'copper jade clothes'.
"Where did this set of golden-threaded jade clothes come from, why haven't you heard about this before?" Qin Sheng muttered to himself.
Gu Ming heard Qin Sheng's muttering, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party: "What do you mean by this jade clothes ......?"
"No, I just think it's weird. If it is found under normal circumstances, it is not certain whether this golden jade robe can become a private collection, and if this golden jade robe is really from the Han Dynasty as said, most of the way is problematic. Qin Sheng said in a low voice.
Gu Ming nodded clearly, the various protection measures for the cultural relics unearthed in China are not enough. Generally speaking, archaeologists only discovered and rescued ancient tombs after they were stolen.
Just like the last time she went to Taiyuan with Professor Wang, although the ancient tomb was not found before it was dug up by the construction team, it was just when they came to rescue it. The swift grave robbers had already gone in and ransacked the tomb.
It's not impossible to have a situation like Qin Sheng said, but since the other party dares to take out this golden jade robe for exhibition, even if there is a problem with its origin, it should have become no problem.
"It's a pity that you can't see it up close, and you can't really see it through the glass cabinet." Gu Ming said with a little regret.
"It's expensive. How can you let people touch it casually, if you find out something. Who's responsible? Professor Wang happened to hear Gu Ming's words, and couldn't help but speak.
"Of course I do, so I'm just talking." Gu Ming smiled at Professor Wang, and continued, "This golden jade robe can't be owned by Mr. Smith, the host, right?" ”
Professor Wang was about to say that he didn't know, but someone was one step ahead.
"Of course not." Tang Ming smiled and nodded towards Gu Ming: "Although Mr. Smith is the organizer of this exhibition, not all the things on display this time are his, you can see now that this set of golden jade clothes is the property of Mr. Shi Youcai over there." ”
Tang Ming pointed to a middle-aged man who was surrounded by stars not far away, the middle-aged man should not be very old in appearance, but his temples were already a little gray.
At this time, he was surrounded by a lot of people, and he didn't seem to be busy at all. There is a degree of progress and retreat in response to it.
Shi Youcai? Gu Ming secretly despised it, this name is really vulgar.
"Who is this gentleman?" Professor Wang looked at Tang Ming who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but turn his puzzled gaze to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming naturally acted as an introduction: "Professor Wang." This is Mr. Tang Mingtang, and Mr. Smith, the organizer of this exhibition, is a good friend. ”
"Hello Professor Wang. I have admired the daimyo for a long time. Tang Ming stretched out his hand to Professor Wang.
"It turns out that Mr. Tang, who is also one of the organizers of this time, has been admired for a long time." Professor Wang showed a clear look, stretched out his hand, and shook it lightly with the other party.
"I'm the host, but I'm just helping out with errands." Tang Ming said modestly.
Mr. Tang smiled...... "Tang Ming will be polite, and Professor Wang will be polite."
Gu Ming looked at Professor Wang and Tang Ming who were coming and going, and couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh, don't think that Professor Wang, as a researcher, would not have these entertainments, if he really didn't know how to socialize, he would not have entered an institution that had always been difficult to enter at such a young age.
"Miss Gu is not a professional in identification, generally speaking, women who come in will go to see the jewelry exhibition first, but Miss Gu came here directly." After Tang Ming and Professor Wang finished their polite interactions, they turned their attention to Gu Ming, and at the same time looked at Qin Sheng next to Gu Ming quietly.
Qin Sheng noticed Tang Ming's gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly took a step closer to Gu Ming's side, successfully attracting the other party's eyebrows.
"Everyone's preferences are different, but I'm not a special person, as a woman, I'm interested in jewelry, and I will naturally go over after seeing the golden jade clothes." Gu Ming didn't notice the silent communication between Qin Sheng and Tang Ming at all, most of her thoughts were still on the golden jade clothes in the glass cabinet.
Tang Ming originally wanted to say something, but suddenly someone came up to him and whispered a few words, so Tang Ming had to leave temporarily.
"Gu Ming, when did you meet Tang Ming?" Professor Wang said curiously to Gu Ming.
Qin Sheng was also very curious, his face was not obvious, and he secretly pricked up his ears, waiting for Gu Ming to answer.
"Mr. Tang used to buy things in Jibao Mountain House, and the rhinoceros horn cup I received for the first time was bought by Mr. Tang." In other periods, Gu Ming didn't say much, so he could only pick up the treasure mountain house and say it.
"So the fat sheep you said is him!" Professor Wang nodded.
Gu Ming pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that Professor Wang probably didn't have a good impression of Tang Ming, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken in such a tone similar to schadenfreude.
"Qin Sheng, have you heard of that Mr. Shi, the person who can collect the golden jade clothes is probably not a simple person." Gu Ming glanced at Shi Youcai's side and found that Shi Youcai was gone at this moment, and the people who surrounded him before had already dispersed.
"Before today, I had not heard of Mr. Shi, and it is estimated that he may have returned from abroad, and today he will take advantage of this exhibition to appear in front of everyone." Qin Sheng replied after thinking about it.
Hearing this, Gu Ming glanced back at the golden jade clothes placed in the glass cabinet, and did not say a word.
Qin Sheng's main purpose in coming to the exhibition today was Robert, he took Gu Ming around the venue, and finally saw Robert in front of the showcase of the "Queen of Roses".
Robert at this time looked much better than when he was at Uncle Huang's house, and the unexpected events of that day made Gu Ming remember it vividly.
As the organizer of this exhibition, Robert is of course more popular than Shi Youcai, who came out of nowhere, and is surrounded by people.
However, I don't know if Robert's aura is too strong, or out of an inexplicable awe of this nobleman of country Y, the people around him politely kept a certain distance, and there was no scramble when he spoke.
Although there were a lot of people, this had no effect on Qin Sheng, and soon he took Gu Ming to Robert's side, bypassing the others.
Robert was not surprised by Qin Sheng's appearance, although some surprise rose in his heart when he saw that the female companion next to Qin Sheng was actually Gu Ming, but it was not revealed at all on his face.
Originally, according to Qin Sheng, he hoped to ask Gu Ming to help when Robert asked about some identification matters, but Gu Ming stood next to him and listened to Robert and Qin Sheng talk for a long time, and there was no place to use her at all.
It's just that it can be seen that Qin Sheng is very friendly to Robert, although he hopes to get closer to Robert, he doesn't show any particular flattery, which makes people hate it.
On the contrary, his attitude is intimate and natural, and it is impossible to jump out of the slightest wrong.
And Robert also seemed to have a good impression of Qin Sheng, and after talking to Qin Sheng for a while, he invited Qin Sheng to the lounge for a detailed discussion.
In this way, Gu Ming didn't go with her, and without Qin Sheng saying more, she took the initiative to ask to visit other exhibits.
The "Queen of the Roses" is one of the protagonists of the day, with a huge gemstone in the middle of the exhibition hall, shining brightly in the light, attracting the women around to wear it one day.
Gu Ming was also very curious about this "Queen of Roses", standing next to her and observing carefully, trying to find traces of its repairs.
