Chapter 19: The Man in Love (4)
A few days ago, Wang Jiuqian just saw in the newspaper that a foreigner had bought a chair from the thrift market more than ten years ago, but more than ten years later, when he was repairing the chair, he found several diamond jewelry from the cracks in the chair, including a pair of earrings, a ring and a pin. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info are worth a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, he could encounter this matter today.
After Wang Jiuqian finished disposing of the yellow rosewood box. Then he took a paper towel and wiped the inside and outside of the box clean. After the dust was wiped off, the original black did not slip away, like the color of briquettes, and there was actually a touch of purple. The shopkeeper was a little suspicious and muttered, "Could it be red sandalwood?"
Immediately, I felt that something was wrong. This material is significantly lighter and darker than red sandalwood. There are some differences.
Rosewood has been used to make various utensils since the Tang Dynasty. Due to the slow growth and small production, in modern times, there is no large rosewood. Even the red sandalwood of the South Seas was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was completely looted by the Chinese people.
However, Wang Jiuqian's attention was obviously not on the wood of this box. After wiping the wooden box clean. Wang Jiuqian's subordinates used their strength to pull out a mezzanine from the bottom layer of the seemingly tightly knit wooden box!
In the interlayer, it is a fabric that has been oxidized to a brown-black color. I can't tell the difference between the material. And on this fabric, there is actually a jade gold-inlaid bracelet. There are also a few small gold bills next to it!
Mingyu exclaimed: "This box is originally the thing at the bottom of the box pressed by the eldest lady, right? There are so many good things!"
And the shopkeeper was on the side, and even his intestines were green with regret.
Mingyu picked up this jade white and oily gold-inlaid jade bracelet, looked at it carefully for a moment, and critted again: "This bracelet is made of the best Hetian mutton fat jade...... I have seen a bracelet with a similar style. It is said to be an old thing from a princess's mansion in the Tang Dynasty. Worth hundreds of millions. The style of this bracelet is a bit similar. Also, I look at the material of this wooden box. It should be red sandalwood. ”
"I remember Daddy talking to me about rosewood at home. He said that China first began to use red sandalwood to make utensils in the Tang Dynasty. In the palace of the island country on the other side of the sea, there are also red sandalwood artifacts from the Tang Dynasty. It's just that those artifacts have been preserved to this day. There will always be some oxidation. So, the texture will be lighter and the color will be darker. ”
"I think this box looks like it. Wait for me to let Daddy identify it!" As he spoke, Mingyu picked up the box containing the gold-inlaid jade bracelet and didn't let go. Apparently I love it to the extreme.
However, looking at the shopkeeper's eyes that were about to go berserk, Wang Jiuqian and Mingyu didn't dare to stay longer. With the leak he picked up, he left quickly. After going to a few stores, paying for the selected furniture, and informing them of the delivery location and delivery time, I turned around. Go to the section dedicated to bedding.
The single-family villa bought by Wang Jiuqian and Mingyu covers a huge area. With the addition of the garden, there is as much as one acre of land. In the villa, there are more than a dozen rooms of various names and sizes. In addition to the toilet and kitchen, half of the rest of the rooms are reserved for the installation of various jadeite processing machines. The other half is used as a bedroom and study.
Mingyu knew that judging from the current relationship between Mingyu and Wang Jiuqian. The two of them still need to buy two sets of bedding. Although Ming Moxuan and Zhang Caiyi currently have a good impression of Wang Jiuqian. The girl bought this house, and what the names of the two people meant, and the two of them also knew it.
However, if you let them know that Wang Jiuqian dares to eat and wipe his daughter clean now. It is estimated that Wang Jiuqian's life is still difficult to protect.
Of course, for Wang Jiuqian, who has never had this experience, even if he and Mingyu live under the same roof. There are also thieves who have the heart but not the courage of thieves. Besides, he doesn't even have a clear thief's heart now. This made Miss Mingda, who seemed to be active, very sad......
The aunt of the salesman who sells bedding said: "Do you only need two sets of bedding for the younger couple? You know that at your age, bedding, such as bed sheets, is the easiest to get dirty." You should buy two more sets of spare. ”
As soon as this sentence comes out, don't want to be dirty. Mingyu couldn't stand this at all, and lowered his head and said, "We are not the kind of relationship you think......"
But I forgot that I had no obligation to explain to the salesman's aunt at all.
The salesman's aunt smiled: "Oh, girl! I've seen a lot of this kind of thing in this era. Not to mention cohabitation before marriage. Even if you have children before marriage, you can marry your son. You say that you are not a young couple, what is the reason why you are holding on to the hands of other young men? The little box you are holding in your hand was given to you by this young man, right?"
Mingyu's face turned red, and he let go of the hand holding Wang Jiuqian's arm like an electric shock. It's just that the rosewood box with the gold and jade bracelet is reluctant to let go no matter what. Wang Jiuqian also felt embarrassed. I could only force my composure and said: "Take the style we just fancied, each suit to a set." However, we can't take it. It will take you to deliver it to your door in a few days. ”
The performance of the sales aunt rose with Wang Jiuqian's decision. In a good mood, he said, "Girl, it's good for you to find this young man, and he is quite responsible." I've been talking about it for a long time, and I know how to take the initiative to pay. I wish you two a hundred years together!"
Wang Jiuqian and Mingyu Xie are not, and neither are they not thanks. After deciding on the delivery location and delivery time, he fled from the home city in embarrassment. Wang Jiuqian said to Mingyu, whose face was still ruddy: "This eldest sister just now, don't be angry if you don't speak in proportion......
Mingyu raised his face, and his eyes, which were as clear as sunlight shining through beautiful jade, fell into Wang Jiuqian's eyes.
At this time, Wang Jiuqian already knew Mingyu's thoughts very well. And he himself doesn't dislike Mingyu. The original hesitation and hesitation were just that I had never encountered such a thing, and I didn't know what to do.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Jiuqian no longer avoided Mingyu's eyes, smiled warmly, and said, "I see that you like this box very much, and the bracelet inlaid with gold and jade." So, you just keep it. I'm a gift to you, okay?"
Mingyu instantly understood what Wang Jiuqian meant. This kind of box, this kind of bracelet, in the classical Chinese etiquette, is the most precious gift from the man to the woman during marriage. It belongs to the kind of definite affection, similar to the diamond ring of modern society.
And this is also the most precious treasure of an ancient woman's life. It is something that can be pressed to the bottom of the box and carefully preserved for a lifetime. Moreover, it is to be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
