Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Collecting species from all over the country is a tedious and time-consuming task. It has been two months since he traveled around half of China.

Seeing that in one week's time it will be the wedding celebration of the elder sister Xiao Banxia, ​​Xiao Yao had to temporarily end this long species collection work.

Collecting global species is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time. He estimates that it will take several years to collect all global species.

Xiao Banxia's wedding celebration is scheduled for October 2nd. As Xiao Banxia's only younger brother, although Xiao Yao is not required to arrange all the details of the wedding celebration, his participation is certainly indispensable.

Although he rushed back home a week earlier, he was complained by his mother as soon as he entered the house: "You still know how to come back? I haven't seen you for a long time. Your sister got married so old Things, don't you, a younger brother, not care at all?"

If Xiao Yao couldn't spare time because of his busy work, Bai Yuzhen would not complain about her son, but Xiao Yao obviously had nothing to do, and would rather travel around the country than give her advice at home, Bai Yuzhen During this period of time, I was busy with my feet and hit the back of my head, so I naturally had to complain.

"Do you really think that I have traveled all over the country? That's what I said. There is no one who travels alone. In fact, I went to various places to inspect the market. Besides, it is not too late for me to come back Ah, there is still one week before my elder sister's wedding day, if you have any tasks, just arrange for your old son, and keep them properly for you." Xiao Yao responded with a hippie smile.

"Seeing that it's the wedding day, I've already made all the arrangements. If I wait for you to come back to work, the day lily will be cold."

"Then I'll check and fill in the gaps for you, and I'll start."

"I haven't been home for two months. You should hurry up and take a nap. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when you wake up." Although she was full of complaints, Bai Yuzhen still felt sorry for her son.

Lying on the bed at home, he really slept soundly. Xiao Yao slept for a full two hours this time, and it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up.

He came down from upstairs, and his elder sister Xiao Banxia just came home.

"Dear brother, you are finally home. You have been away for such a long time, did you bring me back my wedding gift? You won't forget me as an old lady, will you?"

"My dearest sister's marriage is a big deal for me. Of course, I have to choose carefully the wedding gift for you." Seeing the radiant sister, Xiao Yao's mood improved a little. point.

"Why don't you take it out quickly? If the gift is too bad,

Maybe I won't marry. "Xiao Banxia threatened.

"You'd better get rid of this idea. If you don't marry quickly, you will become an old girl. Maybe no one will want you in the future. Seeing you, an old girl, turning around in front of your eyes every day, it will add a lot to our parents. Mind, aren't you just worried about the lack of dowry? It must satisfy you."

Xiao Banxia made a greedy look, "In ancient times, when a lady married, it was all red makeup. I have a rich brother like you, even if his status is not as good as that of ancient princesses and princesses. How much worse is it? You can't be too stingy, lest your friends look down on you."

"Am I the kind of stingy person? I'm just a big sister like you, so I have to let you get married in a good way." Xiao Yao said proudly.

"It will be my wedding day in a few days. Where are the dowries you prepared for me? I haven't seen any of them yet." Xiao Banxia asked for the dowry confidently.

"Mom, what dowry did you prepare for my sister?" Xiao Yao looked at his mother.

Bai Yuzhen would definitely not interfere with the bickering between the two children. She also wanted to know what dowry her son had prepared for his only sister.

"What kind of dowry can I prepare for your sister? Don't you know our family's wealth? Your father and I have only saved a little money in the past two years. All the deposits are added up, and the full calculation is less than 1 million. You If you don't mind, I'll scrape together 1 million and use this passbook as a dowry for your sister." Bai Yuzhen cried poorly when she came up.

"How could it be only 1 million? In the past two years, I have given you and my dad one after another pocket money. If there is no 80 million, there should be 50 million. Although my dad is now obsessed with collecting, he is not good at the moment. They are all cheap goods, even if they are all added up, the top 10 million will come to an end, what are you doing with the rest of the money?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"You also said that it's the pocket money you gave us. It's what you honored us, and it wasn't earned by us. Of course, it can't be regarded as the family property earned by us." Bai Yu Jane looked confident.

Xiao Yao said helplessly: "What you say is reasonable, but I still want to make a statement. The money and things I honor to you and my dad are all yours. You have 100% control. What do you want to do?" How to deal with it."

Then Bai Yuzhen went down the donkey and said, "Okay then, since you said so, besides the 1 million passbook as a dowry, I'll add a few pieces of jewelry to your sister."

Hearing this, Xiao Banxia immediately pretended to be an obedient girl, took his mother's arm and asked, "Mom still loves me the most. Which pieces of jewelry are you going to give me?"

"You wait, I'll get it for you now."

After his mother left, Xiao Banxia sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and said without any image: "Sure enough, my parents are the closest. Although my younger brother is not bad, he is still a little bit worse. I want to get married I can't see you for two months in a row, and I used to keep saying that I would not let me suffer for the rest of my life, and I don't know if I was talking nice words to coax me?"

Bai Yuzhen came back just in time and said, "Whether you're talking nice words to coax you, just look at what wedding gifts your younger brother has prepared for you, then you will know."

Xiao Banxia quickly put down Erlang's legs, and said boldly: "I don't dare to measure him, don't look at him as a big local tyrant, a world-renowned artist, if he makes me unhappy, I will deal with him just the same." !"

"See if you can do it!" Bai Yuzhen opened several jewelry boxes while speaking, Xiao Banxia's eyes were dazzled by all kinds of jewelry.

"Mom, do you want to give all these jewelry to me? Are you willing?" Xiao Banxia loves every piece of jewelry in front of her to death, but she likes it as much as she likes, so she dare not keep it all for herself. Just accepting one or two items is a comfort to my mother.

"The number of jewelry your brother gave me is countless, and this one is less than 1/10. Since your brother said to let me make the decision, I don't like these jewelry very much, so I won't give it to you. Then it can only be left at the bottom of the box to eat ashes."

Anyone who doesn't know, seeing the 10 pieces of jewelry in front of her, will definitely think that Bai Yuzhen is showing off, but in fact she is really not showing off, she is telling the truth.

All kinds of jewelry collected in Xiao Yao's Qiankun world are almost piled up into mountains. With so many jewelry, he must of course satisfy all the dreams and needs of his mother for jewelry.

In the past two years, whether it is a festival or a birthday, he has given his mother various jewelry one after another, no matter what, there must be more than 100 pieces.

The 10 pieces of jewelry in front of her are actually less than 1/10 of her collection. However, although it is not enough in quantity, it is superior in quality.

These jewelry were to be given to her daughter as a dowry, so naturally she selected the best from the best, and she took out more than half of the most precious jewelry in her hand.

"Such beautiful jewelry, you should be reluctant to let them eat ashes at the bottom of the box, right?"

Xiao Banxia first picked up an emerald bracelet, "I've only seen you wear this emerald bracelet twice in spring, it's so beautiful, I can't take what you like, you'd better keep it for yourself. "

"After the new rain in the lonely empty mountain, the Yingying lake is full of beauty." This bracelet is purple with green, translucent and pure, noble and moving, the color is clear and light, and the temperament is subtle and meaningful.

The light lavender is refreshing, and a touch of light green brushes over the tip of the heart, just like the youth like water, elegant and refined.

This bracelet is bright and elegant in two colors. The body of the bracelet is full and the material is full of original strips. It symbolizes steadfastness and beauty, and it has the meaning of protecting the body and reunion. Perfection is hard to find.

The texture of this jade bracelet is excellent, it has reached the texture of glass species. Although the color is a bit ordinary, but the top quality texture plus the two-color spring color, it is already the top jade jewelry that is extremely hard to find on the market.

Xiao Banxia still remembers how amazing she was when she saw this jade bracelet for the first time. At that time, she asked about the price of this bracelet, and her mother told her quietly that a friend in the circle who was in the jade business The estimated value of this bracelet is 130 million.

After hearing this price, even though Xiao Banxia's concept has changed a lot in the past two years, he still secretly snapped at it.

Xiao Banxia knew that her mother's favorite jewelry was jadeite, so of course she couldn't have this top-notch jadeite bracelet.

"Don't you look at the color of this bracelet? It's beautiful, but the color is too fresh and tender, and it's not suitable for people my age to wear. If I were 10 years younger, I would definitely be reluctant to give it to you."

Bai Yuzhen stuffed the bracelet into her daughter's hand, and continued: "Who made me have a good son? The most important thing I need now is top jewelry. Now your mother, I am not the same Bai Yuzhen I was two years ago." , now my eyes are picky, but if there is something not to my liking, no matter how expensive the jewelry is, I will definitely not wear it out to meet people."

"Mom, since my sister doesn't want it, you might as well keep this bracelet. If you give this bracelet to your future daughter-in-law as a gift, your future daughter-in-law will definitely be happy." Xiao Yao said intentionally.

Xiao Banxia put the bracelet on his wrist directly, and said triumphantly: "Don't even think about it! A daughter-in-law has no daughter-in-law. If you want to favor your daughter-in-law, let's talk about it after she gets through the door. Now this bracelet It's mine."

Bai Yuzhen pushed another jewelry box in front of her daughter, and said: "Although the texture of this set of jewelry is a bit poor, it is only high ice, but the color is the purest violet, and it is also the Wanrong of the late Qing Dynasty. The treasures handed down by the queen to future generations are extremely rare."

This is one of the most cherished jadeite jewellery, Queen Guobro Wanrong of Xiaokemin. If it is handed down to any family, it is eligible to become the top jadeite jewellery.

The history of the introduction of jadeite to China is very short. Although unearthed cultural relics show that Burmese jadeite products may have appeared in my country as early as the end of Ming Dynasty, the golden age of jadeite is undoubtedly the late Qing Dynasty.

During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, jadeite products were mainly furnishings and utensils, which were made by drawing on the grinding method of Hetian jade carving; while during the Cixi period, jadeite products were mainly ornaments, such as plumes, rings, hairpins, bracelets, and pendants. emerald jewelry.

It was not until the Empress Dowager Cixi period that jadeite jewelry really became popular.

This is directly related to Empress Dowager Cixi's special liking for jadeite. The so-called "upper and lower effect" means that because of Empress Dowager Cixi's love for jadeite, this transparent green and frightening material has achieved an incomparably lofty status in the Qing court.

Starting from this point, the high-quality emerald jade has become an indispensable jewelry for the beauties of the harem, and many of them are tributes specially collected by Cixi.

The set of violet and jadeite jewelry that Wanrong once owned was one of the top tributes.

The jewelry set originally belonged to Queen Wanrong included a necklace of emerald beads interlaced with gold filigree beads, a saddle ring, and a traditional round bracelet.

This set of jewelry is all pure violet, and the color is extremely close, obviously carved from a piece of rough stone.

Just looking at the workmanship of the golden filigree beads can confirm that the statement that this necklace came from the Qing court is true, because this exquisite craftsmanship has always been unique to Gongyan.

The emerald beads on the necklace are very similar in color and texture, and are basically the same size, with no error visible to the naked eye. Such exquisiteness, it must be a palace item.

The whole saddle ring is uniform in color, with almost no color difference. The ring part is thicker than ordinary saddle rings, and its transparent and rich color is even more rare.

Due to the large material used in jade bracelets, it is inevitable that there will be some differences in shades of color, but the color of this bracelet is very uniform, with very little difference.

The only shortcoming is that the shape is slightly less than perfect, with very slight edges and corners, but it is these small defects that remind people of the challenges faced by craftsmen when cutting and polishing at that time, and also make every piece of jadeite unique. Jewelry has a unique characteristic mark.

This set of jewelry is from the Panwu auction.

The original collector has carefully treasured it for many years, and preserved its precious original appearance, so that this set of jewelry has not been damaged at all, so that latercomers can imagine while savoring the aftertaste of this beautiful emerald. To the beauty and moonlight appearance of the original owner who once owned these treasures, youthful and youthful.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, but what really lasts forever is the beauty of these jadeite treasures. It is so rare that the elegance of these jadeite treasures does not lose a little bit over the years.
