Chapter 603 [Emperor Duobaoge's Toy Box]
Yang Nianzhong took Nobita to each of them with a big box from the garage to the living room, gently put it on the coffee table in the living room, and after putting it down, Yang Nianzhong instructed Nobita to say.
"Big bear, go to the bathroom and fetch a basin of clean water from a clean basin, and bring me two dry towels that have not been used."
Da Xiong hurriedly went, and after a while, everything was ready, and Yang Nianzhong's unused new towel was dipped in water to wipe the surface of the box.
Both boxes are the same size, with one box 50 cm by 50 cm square having cloisonné enamel on the surface and the other box with jade inlay.
The front of the two boxes is very beautiful and luxurious, whether it is cloisonné enamel or jade inlay, it is royal style at a glance, and there is a small gold lock in the middle of the two single doors, and there is a small key inserted in the lock head.
With this little gold lock and little gold key, it is a mess of luxury, who can afford a lock and key made of gold? And only the royal family has this capital.
Yang Nianzhong gently fiddled with the key, the lock opened automatically, and after taking the lock away, he opened the cloisonné enamel rosewood box, and after the two orders were opened, he saw that there were all drawers inside.
And the shape of these drawers is really strange, there are rectangular, square, round, and triangular.
Yang Nianzhong gasped when he saw the box full of drawers, and the big bear on the side was already dumbfounded, he had never seen such a delicate box made of wood.
The shape of these small drawers is so good-looking, each drawer is also inlaid with various shapes of gold pull rings, pull the pull ring gently out, the drawer can be taken out.
What does Yang Nianzhong know what this thing is? It was there hundreds of years ago, and it was actually made by the Qing Dynasty Imperial Office called Duobao Pavilion, and there is also a very apt name called the Emperor's Toy Box.
When it appeared in the Kangxi period, the prosperous time was in the Qianlong period until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the way of making Duobaoge fell to the people and began to prevail, and those jewelry boxes with exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship evolved from Duobaoge.
At this time, Yang Nianzhong was excited, and carefully pulled out the 20-centimeter-wide rectangular drawer on the top of the Duobao Pavilion, and the things that appeared inside after opening it made Yang Nianzhong a little incredible, what was in the drawer? The money was placed in a fixed position, a 12-centimeter-long miniature weapon.
There are 18 blades in this box, and the raw material for making these weapons is not wood, but real gold. A miniature weapon made of small weapons cast from real gold, and then carved little by little.
How precise is it? Whether it's the number one knife or the number two sword, there is a delicate knife with a small scabbard. The sword is pulled out of the scabbard, and the scabbard is inlaid with various gems and carved patterns, and the sword is also tied with ornaments of falling cherry blossoms.
12 centimeters long little things, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, everything, placed in the box, it is called a beautiful, golden one. The big bear drooled when he saw it, and although he didn't know what these strangely shaped little things were, he felt very, very precious when he looked at the exquisiteness.
In this drawer, there was a miniature type made of gold, 12 centimeters high and 18 blades, which had already made Yang Nianzhong tremble in surprise. The thing that appeared in the second drawer made Yang Nianzhong laugh, what is this? A miniature farming implement made of gold.
They had hoes, nine-toothed rakes, saws for logging, shovels for trenching, and 12 centimeters long. The workmanship is extremely lightweight, and all the parts can be taken apart and assembled.
Each farm tool is placed in the fixed trough, and the bottom of the drawer is made of silk and cotton, which completely prevents these small farm tools from colliding with each other and harming each other.
And that's not even if it's opened, but inside the third square drawer is actually a kitchenware made of gold, from pots and pans to large water tanks, bellows, stoves, everything.
When the next drawers were opened, all of them were miniature furniture, no taller than 12 centimeters, and the smallest small flower pot was the size of a small pea.
The style of the furniture is all popular in the Qing Dynasty, the most exquisite is that these furniture are all mortise and tenon structure, you don't see that they are made of pure gold, but they can be disassembled and assembled, whether it is to open the door or drawers can be taken out.
What appears in the red sandalwood box is actually these things, whether it is weapons or farm tools, kitchen utensils or household furniture, the shape is extremely luxurious, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, this is not a toy that ordinary children can have, who can afford to play except for the royal family.
Just the contents of this red sandalwood box made Nobita, who was tall and tall on the side, completely stupid, and Yang Nianzhong originally wanted to open the second box. But I didn't expect Adams to make dinner, and the three of them sat at the table while eating dinner, and the shocked bear and the Adams department store owner found something incredible.
After eating dinner, Adams also joined Yang Nianzhong's treasure hunt, preparing to open the second Huanghuali box.
Huanghuali's box, the front of the cabinet door is inlaid with jade inlay patterns, like a rockery, which is overgrown with various plants and flowers, or there is a gold lock lock, gently flip the key to open the gold lock, after opening the sliding door, the things that appear inside are still small drawers of Duobaoge.
And the shape and size of these small drawers, the red sandalwood box is very different, after opening the rectangular drawer on the top layer, the things that appeared in front of Yang Nianzhong Adams and Nobita are also made of pure gold, and they are also small and exquisite, and the length does not exceed 12 centimeters.
What is it? It is very simple, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, open other drawers and appear in a variety of miniature musical instruments, these instruments have guzheng, gusser, erhu, sanxian, flute and flute.
What shocked Yang Nianchong and the bears the most was that no matter how small these instruments were, you just need to pick them up and pluck the strings to be able to play beautiful music, and even those flutes and flutes can make a sound when you play them in your hand.
Although the voice was very sharp, he could hear Doremi's sassy diarrhea, and at this time, Adams realized where the smug look of the big bear when he had just described to himself when he found something came from? Because these things are amazing.
Miraculously, Adams felt that his intelligence was a little insufficient, how could there be craftsmen in the world who made so many miniature instruments? It's going to take a lot of work.
If this appears in the European auction market, then it is not allowed to let those so-called wealthy families and nobles snatch their heads to buy ah, this is the representative of oriental wisdom, you can't make such a delicate instrument from other people's regions, miniature instruments, let alone make Adams has never even heard of it.
