Chapter 223 [The Secret of the Wicker Box]
As soon as he heard his mother's explanation, Yang Nianzhong had to admit that he was not wronged by this beating, and his mother had already taught him that there were strict hierarchies in ancient times, and men and women were different. Including the furniture they use is different, the man is a dragon and the woman is a phoenix, and I can't master this common sense, and I can't get the beating wronged.
Seeing that his mother was panting with anger, Yang Nianzhong smirked and touched his head and said. "Mom, I'm sorry I'm really busy during this time, I'm a little dizzy, so I forgot this basic common sense, since you have pointed it out, this is furniture from the middle of the Qing Dynasty."
"Mom, some of the mortise and tenon joints of these furniture have cracked, and you need to find a special carpenter master to repair them, and this carpenter master must be very skilled, don't damage these furniture, how much money will be lost."
Yang Nianzhong is right, these antique furniture are like sick patients, and they need to find a doctor with very good professional quality to treat them. If you find a second knife and destroy the furniture, how much money will you have to lose? A good piece of furniture is just a waste.
This is cherishing antiques as cherishing his own life, Yang Lan seems to be like asking for his own life, fortunately, his mother Yang Lan has lived in Chinatown for so many years. There are many people who can repair antique furniture, and there are many top carpenters who know them, so it is very easy to find someone.
At this time, all the furniture was placed at the door of Swan Castle, and then my mother was just a maid in the house, vacuuming all the dust. Then clean the furniture inside and out with a dry towel before putting it on a trolley and pushing it into Swan Castle.
But where to put it is a problem? When I bought Swan Castle, I had already bought all the furniture and ornaments. The wardrobes, dressers, and beds in every room are ready-made, all in the same European royal style, and the furniture has not been repaired and is not suitable for the house.
There was no way, so he could only store it in the underground vault first, and as soon as he returned to the living room, his mother Yang Lan grabbed the phone and called the carpenter he knew who could repair these rosewood antique furniture. And the other party's professional ability is quite terrifying, it is said that it is the first generation of northern furniture, and there is a hand in hot wax skills, specializing in the repair and maintenance of antique furniture.
People repair your furniture, and the maintenance of furniture is not calculated by the time, but by the hour, how many dollars is an hour. But the other party's craftsmanship is good, and if it weren't for the relationship between his mother and Yang Lan, the other party would not have come to Swan Castle the next day to help the Yang family repair the furniture.
You don't care how much money you give, you have to line up in the back, there is no shortage of work in people's hands, contact the master who repairs the furniture, and the stone in Yang Nian Center finally fell to the ground.
Sitting in the living room with John, they chatted over tea, and after dinner, the two brothers had to go to the underground vault to open the ten wicker boxes found in the warehouse.
Because Yang Nianzhong wanted to satisfy his curiosity and satisfy his desire to hunt for treasures, Yang Nianzhong did not use his special functions to carefully observe what kind of items were contained in these ten wicker boxes.
If you know first, there will be no fun at all, Yang Nianzhong plans to have a good time with his brother John, come to a treasure hunt to make himself happy and happy, recover his recovery state, and participate in the autumn auction in half a month.
If the state is not good, how can the two brothers make money? This is a rare treasure hunt that must be played extraordinarily, and the two brothers are particularly excited about this treasure hunt. After eating, Yang Nianzhong and John changed into work clothes and took the housekeeper Robert to the underground vault alone.
There are four underground vaults, three are empty and the other is stored in rags, and only in the Year of the Goat can do this, Yang Nianzhong and John are very excited, but Robert, who is followed by with tools, feels a little crying and laughing. Yang Nianzhong and John look like Resident Evil, wearing goggles and masks, one-piece overalls, and rubber gloves on their hands.
However, Robert was more excited to participate in the profession on which his master depended for his survival for the first time, because he was a novice, so he could only wait in the back with tools and accumulate experience by the way. Take a look at how the owner of the house found treasure in the garbage heap, and how he could obtain billions of wealth in the garbage heap.
Today is a rare opportunity to practice, of course, can not be missed, to the underground vault to open the door, John strength to carry a wicker box in his hand, noodles on the counter.
At this time, the two brothers looked at the lock a little embarrassed, in order not to destroy the integrity of the wicker box, Yang Nianzhong had no choice but to let John use hydraulic pliers to pry the lock open, and when the first wicker box was opened.
The contents made Butler Robert, who was observing on the side, frown, everything was all torn clothes, and these clothes were old. It was neatly folded and stacked in a wicker box, but the style of the clothes was very simple, what kind of robes and horse coats, and they were all silk.
The clothes that were stacked on the first layer were already badly weathered, and they would break at the slightest touch, after cleaning the first layer of clothes. The clothes below are much brighter, and then take out the clothes one by one, and when you take out a piece of clothing, you will look through your pockets for anything.
If you really think that this box only contains these clothes, then you are wrong, John moved the box very heavy inside. Can he have that weight with all these clothes? After removing the upper layer of clothing, two long yellow wooden boxes appeared inside.
But Yang Nianzhong and John, one holding a wicker box, and the other taking out this wooden box only knew that this wooden box was a wooden box in the shape of a long strip. The wooden box is not big but very heavy, put the two wooden boxes on the counter, clean out all the items in this wicker box, and put the wicker box aside.
Put those tattered clothes in garbage bags, and then the two brothers are going to start with these two long wooden boxes, the shape of the box is very simple, there is no carving on it, just a yellow wooden box, the box is unlocked and opened, and it is red satin.
Carefully unbuttoning the red satin, what came into view was actually the cover of the thread-bound book, with the title of the book written on it, and the book was taken out and the cover was opened, and inside was a thread-bound book. This is a hand-copied Huayan Sutra, the small block characters on it are written that is called a beautiful, there are a total of six copies of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, this is a set of hand-copied versions of the Huayan Sutra, particularly precious.
The second one that was taken out was actually a set of Jizo Sutras, and the third one that was taken out was actually a set of Great Compassion Mantras, which means that the boxes were all thread-bound books, and they were all hand-copied Buddhist scriptures.
