Chapter 21: Relics
Because of the miraculous spring water, although Lao Liu drank nearly a catty of high-grade liquor at night, he didn't do anything at all.
But Tenzin Jebu was completely confused.
Lao Liu cleaned up the room where Tashi Dawa was on duty before, and then let Tenzin Jebu sleep in that room.
During the second uncle's hospitalization, Tashi Dawa would stay at the inn for one night or two every day or two. However, Tashi Dawa did not live in the second uncle's house, but slept in the next room.
Lao Liu, who returned to the room, was still very energetic, and it had been more than 20 days since he came to the plateau, and his jet lag had almost adjusted.
Although the plateau implements the capital time, in terms of latitude and longitude, the capital is in the 8th East District, and Nikko City is in the 6th East District, and the time difference between the two cities is two hours.
It doesn't seem like a two-hour time difference, but it still has an impact on life.
For example, at this time in late July and early August, it was bright at five o'clock in the morning on the Dongshan side, but it was still dark and nothing could be seen. At nine o'clock in the evening, the sky was already full of stars on the east side of the mountain, but the sun had just set not long after......
Lao Liu lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a while, so he simply got out of bed with his clothes on, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly around the house, while thinking about some plans for the inn and his future.
After walking around for less than two laps, his eyes were drawn to the swarthy box underneath the middle of the old-fashioned desk.
"Damn, I've been busy with other things these days, and I forgot that the second uncle left me this thing. ”
Thinking of what the second uncle said before he died, Liu Moang walked to the desk and bent down.
"Oh guy, it's heavy enough!" Liu Moang said to himself in surprise.
This wooden box, which looks small, weighs more than 20 catties, and Lao Liu didn't pick it up at all the first time. After he picked it up vigorously, he found that the swarthy box seemed to have a layer of pulp under the light, which gave people a very good feeling. And there is a simple copper lock locked on it, which is the kind of ancient copper lock played in those historical TV dramas.
"Hey, isn't this box made by Xiao Zi?" The feel of the wooden box made Liu Moang happy, and then put it on the desk and rubbed it a few times, then lowered his head and sniffed it carefully, but he didn't smell anything else, and there was no legendary sandalwood fragrance, so Lao Liu nodded with satisfaction.
His family's Seven Days Hotel is located next to the antique market in Tianqu City, and Liu Moang has been playing around with his grandfather in the antique market since he was a child. Liu Moang's grandfather, Liu Ziqiang, was a member of the Tianqu Antiques Association before his death, and he was quite proficient in the antique industry. So after hearing and seeing, Lao Liu also knows some antiques.
Well, it's not the kind of casual way where a bottle is less than half a bottle dangling, he really knows some antique things.
Real small-leaved red sandalwood is not scented with sandalwood......
Without carefully studying the material of this wooden box, Liu Moang turned around and walked to the bedside, took out the set of keys left by the second uncle from his coat pocket, and saw one of the different keys at a glance.
With a slight poke and a turn, the copper lock, which was a little dark green, popped open with a "click" and lifted the lid of the wooden box.
There were two pieces of paper in the box, Lao Liu picked it up and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be a vice copy of the white lion's vaccination certificate. The date of payment is in June this year. In other words, the second uncle only vaccinated the white lion last month.
This proved to be useless, so Lao Liu put it aside.
Looking down again, the things under the vaccine certificate made Lao Liu's heart tremble......
There are not many things in the box, and they are not big, but at a glance, you can see that they are all old objects, one by one lying quietly on the yellow satin.
"This seems to be an in-house painting snuff bottle from the Daoguang period?" Liu Moang carefully picked up a snuff box and looked at it carefully for a few minutes, before asking himself in a tone with a hint of uncertainty.
Although there was some uncertainty in his tone, the happy look on his face already indicated the identity of the snuffbox in his hand.
"Shhh...... These two thangkas are not ordinary. "The two thangkas are not big, only ten centimeters square, and they belong to miniature thangkas.
Although these two thangkas are not big, Liu Moang does not know much about thangkas, but these two thangkas give him a different feeling. Not to mention, the sense of historical heaviness revealed from these two thangkas alone is enough to prove that these two thangkas are very unusual, not to mention that these two thangkas seem to be made of fine cinnabar as a base, painted with gold dust, and even the sides are surrounded by a circle of gold......
Gently putting down the thangka, Liu Moang picked up a crystal Buddha statue again.
The Buddha statue is the size of a fist and is carved out of pure crystal.
"Tsk, this Buddha should be hand-carved from Shannan Shangpin crystal, not machine-carved. Nice, nice......"
"Hey, the Hetian jade used in this jade plate is of good quality, enough for the collection. Second uncle, do you still have this kind of good thing hidden?"
"Good guy, is this a round bead? Or is it a natural sheep's eye dzi that is old?" Looking at the two agate dzi beads in the box, which were not much bigger than the glass balls that children played, Lao Liu was a little dumbfounded.
If the previous snuff box, thangka, and the jade plate and crystal Buddha statue made Lao Liu's heart tremble at most, then these two natural sheep-eyed dzi made him completely dumbfounded.
Sheep's eye dzi belongs to the collateral dzi, most of which are made of agate. Legend has it that a person who wears a sheep's eye dzi can be bright, wealthy, prosperous, prosperous, and smooth.
Moreover, it is said that the natural sheep's eye dzi has a super natural magnetic field ability, which shows light and protects the wearer, and all merits are fulfilled. "Sheep" is homophonic to "auspicious", which means auspicious, so the sheep's eye dzi symbolizes abundant wealth and smooth career achievements.
Although I don't know if the two sheep-eye dzi in front of me have been opened, this natural sheep-eye dzi is definitely an extremely rare thing at present. If these two beads were really consecrated by the Great Lama, it would be even more remarkable.
As for the value, Lao Liu didn't dare to think about it anyway......
Liu Moang really didn't expect the second uncle to have such a collection.
In the past, every time the second uncle went back to his hometown, he looked sloppy, although every time he came back, he would take himself to have a good time, but Liu Moang really didn't think that his second uncle was a rich man.
But now seeing these things collected by the second uncle, Lao Liu knows that he is too wrong.
The second master is too capable of pretending, right? This is clearly a Sanya person, who obviously drives a Ferrari, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce, but he has to hang a "Joan B" brand......
Gently rubbing the two beads, thinking about the second uncle who looked poor and happy that he had seen in previous years, Lao Liu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Lao Liu remembered the jade pendant that the second uncle gave him before he died.
At that time, Lao Liu had also carefully observed the jade pendant, and he knew that the jade pendant was not carved from a good jade, but it was carved from a very ordinary Nanyang Dushan jade, and the carving of the jade pendant did not look good. But looking at the pulp, this jade pendant is definitely old.
There are many Taoist holy places in the Central Plains, and Dushan jade at that time was not as in demand as it is now, so it is not surprising that such a jade pendant appeared.
It is estimated that the second master didn't know where to collect it when he was walking north and south of the river.
It's just that Liu Moang's strange thing is that compared to those other things, this jade pendant is really a little bland except for the year, why is the second master still so precious to collect it? And he handed it over to himself.
Could it be that the second uncle has long known the secret hidden in the jade pendant?
"But if the second master knows the secret of the Five Elements Jade, then with the effect of that magical spring water, the second master shouldn't have cancer!" Lao Liu touched his empty chest, wondering in his heart.
The jade pendant has turned into a five-element jade and exists in his body......
The second uncle said on his deathbed that everything in this wooden box belongs to him. It's just that Lao Liu didn't expect that the things in this box would be so precious!
"Catch Ming'er to say that he has to store this box and its contents in the bank safe! His sister and sister's, these things are just put in the house, and the pressure is great......
