Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Court Fan

Although there was Yang Nianzhong, the boss, on the side, chattering about himself, John knew that the two brothers spent a lot of money to buy these suitcases from the airport.

The things in it will also be sold to make money, this is the job of the two brothers, why don't they care? Isn't it as careful as dismantling a landmine? I'm afraid of scratching the contents of the box.

John looks like a black bear in the form of a human, isn't it embarrassing for you to ask him to embroider? So the fingers as thick as the little rolling pin trembled, holding the tool knife. Cut it layer by layer, and it won't take long for you to see sweat on your head, but you really don't want to say that this effect is good, at least it doesn't hurt the box inside.

After disassembling all the anti-collision foam packaging, a box like an ancient Chinese thread-bound book appeared, with a fan printed on the box and painted on it.

It is a wooden box packaging is very precious, at first glance it is mahogany and after waxing, it is a rectangle, and there is a buckle below to open this rectangular wooden box to see the contents of it.

At this time, John said that he would not do anything, or let Yang Nianzhong be responsible for it himself, and it was not difficult for Yang Nianzhong to take the initiative to open the buckle of the wooden box for his brother, and the two brothers with sensitive noses smelled a fragrance. The fragrance is very light but very good, John doesn't know what kind of fragrance it is, but Yang Nianzhong knows that this is the smell of mothballs, which is specially moth-proof.

The waxed box carved from mahogany is placed in the natural camphor insect repellent agent, it seems that the things inside are very precious, Yang Nianzhong judged that it is an ancient book, because only an ancient book will be afraid of insects.

But after opening the box, what greeted me was actually a yellow silk package, yellow that reflects the royal style, when the feudal dynasty was in the feudal dynasty, the common people could not use this color, that is to commit the crime of killing the head, you use it is equivalent to rebellion.

Carefully opened the silk juan cloth, there was a rectangular box carved from mahogany, the height of the box was not high, and the inside was filled with silk or natural cotton to prevent collisions.

In the center of the box is actually a fan, and the handle of the fan is at the bottom of the box, and there are as many as ten neatly arranged like a fish's tail.

The fan that catches your eye is particularly beautiful, with a length of 45 centimeters and a maximum width of only about 30 centimeters.

But this fan is different, surrounded by a skeleton carved from milky white ivory, the keel in the middle is actually made of huanghuali, and the handle of the fan with a body length of 45 cm is actually carved from Hetian seed jade.

This is the material of the fan, it's so exaggerated, but the surface of the fan makes the two brothers face to face, and the material of other fans is basically quite Ayaluo, but the embroidery is so beautiful. The embroidery of this fan that catches your eye is the peony flower, which is the king of flowers, the first of the ten national flowers, and since ancient times, it has been a symbol of the supremacy of women and the same status as the phoenix.

Yang Nianzhong's eyes were so good, he didn't see it, the stitches of the silk embroidered peony flowers, how dense do you say he has to be. And the edges of the peony flowers are embroidered with very fine gold wire, exaggerated and exaggerated, if in ancient times, such a fan can only appear in the palace for the royal enjoyment, how can ordinary people have such luxurious supplies.

It's ivory again, it's yellow rosewood, and even the handle is Hetian seed jade, and it's like holding a top-notch work of art when you pick it up gently, and you don't dare to touch it with a little strength for fear of breaking it. In fact, whether it is a court fan or a folk fan, its role is actually for women to fan in summer, and it is not so delicate.

But Yang Nianzhong didn't understand, fortunately he didn't let John's rolling pin-thick fingers touch these works of art like cicada wings, if he broke a hole, the value of this fan would be cut in half, how much money would be lost.

Yang Nianzhong carefully put the group sheet aside, and a white rice paper appeared in the box, which was moisture-proof, impact-proof, and scratch-proof. Another fan appeared, this fan shape is the same as the first fan, both are round and the material is basically the same, but the embroidery on the fan surface has changed, turning into a graceful and luxurious azalea.

At this time, Yang Nianzhong didn't dare to take the third fan, the first fan was the king of flowers, the peony flower, and the second fan was a graceful and luxurious azalea. So when I think about it, these ten fans are really the top ten famous flowers, and the embroidery on the group fan is the top ten famous flowers in China.

Yang Nianzhong believed in his own judgment very much, so he put the first and second fans round and motionless in the box, and then pulled the strings made of silk and dragged the two ends to pull the wooden box full of fans out of the box. There is still a yellow silk wrapped box below, and after opening, it is still a group order, but the shape on this group is different, it is actually in the shape of a petal.

Count the neatly arranged fan handles, the number actually reached eight, the figure drawn on the fan is the eight immortals across the sea, except that the content of the characters is different, the material is almost the same as the round fan.

Yang Nianzhong did not move such a petal-shaped fan, but picked up the box and put it aside, and a yellow silk wrapped box appeared underneath. After opening, the shape of the fan changed again, this time it was rectangular, and the number of such group orders was the largest, and there were as many as 12 handles. When I saw the rectangular fan on the top, the embroidery on it was actually a figure with the head of an auspicious cloud rat, which was the child rat in the zodiac.

There are four fans in the fourth box, the shape is actually octagonal and particularly good-looking, the material of the fan is basically the same, but the content of the embroidery on it is the four gentlemen Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum in the plant.

The bottom layer is already the fifth box, after the bottom layer of the box is opened, a fan appears, the shape of this fan is actually hexagonal, the material and size, almost the same but the fan embroidery is actually a golden phoenix.

The phoenix stood on the branch of a plane tree, and there were as many as a hundred birds embroidered on the surrounding rocks, and he didn't know anything else, Yang Nianzhong knew the peacock, and all of them bowed down to the peacock standing on the branch of the plane tree.

This is a hundred birds and a phoenix, this is 100 years ago only the queen can be qualified to enjoy this fan, the material is so extravagant, the shape is so unique, and the various characters embroidered with gold wire can be called a royal courtesy.

No wonder the box is so clear, it is actually a fan inside, can he not be light? Yang Nianzhong didn't squeak when he opened the fan inside the box, and John on the side didn't squeak either, for fear that if he made a sound, Yang Nianzhong couldn't concentrate and hurt these Chinese handicrafts that he didn't dare to touch.
