(three hundred and twenty) a treasure chest left by grandma
Daniel Zhang, the contractor of the No. 1 Middle School Canteen, knows a little and is relatively famous in labor-saving. Not only are many primary and secondary schools contracted by them, but some technical secondary schools are also their service targets. People have a set of standards in this regard, which is much better than the grass platform team like Boss Ma.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the students of each class went to their own area and sat down. Daniel Zhang Sheng was on the second floor, and everyone sat at the new table to prepare the meal according to the arrangement of each group. Waiters push carts alongside prepared meals to each table.
Soon the dishes were delivered, although it was still a big pot of rice, but it was quite exquisite, and the color and flavor were relatively good. The cafeteria also prepared fruit juice drinks for students to celebrate the arrival of the new year. So in the midst of the excitement, the dinner before New Year's Day began.
In general, everyone was quite satisfied with the meal, and the new environment of the canteen, the new canteen contractor, and the delicious dishes made everyone happily accept. In the past, the students' bad feelings towards the cafeteria have been greatly changed after this meal, and I believe that there will be better results after the Chinese New Year.
After a pleasant lunch, the students returned to the classroom to pack their schoolbags and left. Next is the two-day holiday, which is very rare for sophomores in high school, and everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. For Daniel Zhang, New Year's Day was a great test for him, because he was going to Bai Zhiyong's wedding.
Bai Zhiyong's girlfriend is already three months pregnant, and it will be too late if she doesn't get married. Although Bai Zhixuan's relationship with her father was not very good, Daniel Zhang actively encouraged her to go. He didn't want their father and daughter to have too deep contradictions, after all, they were close relatives, and there was no hatred that could not be spent.
After leaving school, Daniel Zhang followed Bai Zhixuan to the first middle school. may be because of Bai Zhiyong's wedding, Bai Zhixuan's mood has been unstable in the past two days, and she is a little impatient and irritable. Daniel Zhang was afraid that she would not want to cause trouble, so he tried to spend time with her to relieve her anxiety.
When the two returned home, Daniel Zhang turned on the TV to pass the time, and Bai Zhixuan went to the second floor to work. A moment later, Bai Zhixuan came down from the second floor and placed a wooden box on the coffee table. The box was dusty, and it was clear that no one had cleaned it in years.
Daniel Zhang wet the rag and carefully wiped the ash layer on the box, and asked curiously: "What is in this, it is quite heavy to weigh, what kind of valuable treasure?" ”
Bai Zhixuan nodded and replied, "There are good things in here, and everything is very expensive. If you take it out and sell it now, you might be able to sell it for 100,000 yuan. ”
Daniel Zhang was shocked in his heart and said, "Sleep, such an ordinary box, the contents are so expensive?" This box looks ordinary, what's inside? ”
Bai Zhixuan smiled mysteriously: "Take a closer look at this box, guess what's inside?" ”
Daniel Zhang looked at the box, and his head spun rapidly. This box looks ordinary, but the shape is simple and simple, and it should be many years old. After the box was wiped clean, the surface of the wood showed a kind of oily shine, and he could see that the wood should be very valuable, but he couldn't recognize what kind of variety.
The binders and cleats are made of copper, which is standard for old-fashioned wooden boxes, and should be hand-made. The loose pages of modern wooden boxes are all industrial products, and there is no such quaint style. Daniel Zhang had a building in his heart, guessing that this thing should be left by Bai Zhixuan's grandparents.
He thought for a moment and said tentatively: "I guess this box should be related to grandparents, it is a relic left by them." The wood of this box is good, although I don't know the wood, but this kind of wood is very beautiful, and the box should be worth a lot of money, right? ”
Bai Zhixuan nodded approvingly and said, "Your eyesight is good, this box is indeed worth a lot of money." It was a dresser brought out by my grandmother from her mother's house, and she and her grandfather sold some of the jewelry to raise money from studying abroad. Judging from the time, this box is also more than 100 years old. ”
"Damn, is this an antique? You're just keeping it like that, and it's all dust, and it's too tyrannical. Daniel Zhang was a little distressed, this is a valuable thing.
Bai Zhixuan sighed: "I used to be ignorant, and I was in a bad mood when I looked at it, so I didn't move in the corner of the storage room." Fortunately, this is a box of huanghuali, which is quite effective in preventing insect moths. It hasn't been touched for more than ten years, and it doesn't seem to have any damage except for a little more dust. “
"Huanghuali! Sea yellow? Daniel Zhang exclaimed lightly. He sometimes followed Liang Aiping to see antiques, and heard of Haihuang's name, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Bai Zhixuan nodded proudly and said: "This dressing box is indeed sea yellow, and only the daughters of large families could afford to use it before." I heard my grandmother say that the family specially customized, and invited a local excellent craftsman, and this box alone cost a lot of money. ”
Daniel Zhang was even more curious, what is the origin of Bai Zhixuan's grandmother, the family is so rich? Hai Huang's dressing box, and it is an antique from more than a hundred years ago, throw it in the corner and leave it alone, which is also too generous. If Ma Jinbao was present, he would definitely scold her for being violent.
Bai Zhixuan continued: "The last time I went shopping in the antique street in the provincial capital, similar dressing boxes also have modern works, and I was shocked to buy eight or nine thousand. Thinking that there were so many jewelry inside, my heart was not calm at that time. ”
Daniel Zhang gasped: "How many things are in here, is it the legendary treasure chest?" Your grandmother's family is too rich, it's the legendary rich country, right? ”
Bai Zhixuan shook her head and explained: "It's not that exaggerated, in fact, a lot of jewelry here is made up. The earliest jewelry was used by my grandmother to pay for studying abroad, and later my grandfather bought it when he had money. When my parents got married, I gave it to them, and it is considered an heirloom in our family. ”
Daniel Zhang took a long breath and said, "I said eldest sister, what is there in it, you can finish it in one breath, don't let me guess." Your foundation is too thick, I really can't guess. “
Bai Zhixuan nodded with a smile and said, "Then don't guess, open it yourself and take a look." After saying that, she handed the small key in her hand to Daniel Zhang's hand.
Daniel Zhang looked at Bai Zhixuan carefully, and saw her encouraging eyes, so he picked up the small key and poked it into the keyhole. The lock on the box is also made of copper, which is very small and exquisite, and the style is also quaint. After the key entered, it was a little tight, and Daniel Zhang used a little force to turn half a circle.
The copper lock had obviously not been opened for many years, and it was relatively dry inside, slowly revealing a crevice. Daniel Zhang carefully removed the copper lock and opened the dressing box with a "crunch". Daniel Zhang looked at the jewelry in the box, and his face couldn't help but be a little moved.
