Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 196, Jizhou Ding
After Wang Li put the bronze tripod into the underground treasure house, he found Zheng Lan who was breastfeeding her child.

She said: I just received a treasure. After feeding the baby, come with me to the underground treasure house and see what it is.

Zheng Lan was very interested when she heard what her husband said, because she and Wang Li had collected a lot of antiques. Something that Wang Li considered a treasure must be very precious.

After feeding the child, she handed the child to the mother next to her, and walked towards the underground treasury with her husband. The first thing Zheng Lan saw when she entered the treasury was the bronze tripod in the middle of the treasury.

There was a look of shock in her eyes. With her knowledge of antiques, among all the bronze tripods she knew, there was no other that could compare to this one, or it would be difficult to find a similar one, because this tripod gave people a sense of majesty.

Especially when she saw the inscription on the tripod, she showed a shocked expression.

After more than half an hour of careful study, Zheng Lan said to her husband: You have really received a great treasure this time. I think this tripod should be something before the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

I had a rough guess as to which tripod it was, but I still found it a little hard to believe.

Wang Li said: I also think it is very precious, at least better than the Sui Hou Pearl, so no matter how bold your appraisal is, I think it is normal, so what is this tripod?
Zheng Lan said: Based on my understanding of ancient books, this looks a bit like one of the Nine Cauldrons, the Jizhou Cauldron among the Nine Cauldrons cast by Dayu.

(The Nine Provinces are Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding and Yongzhou Ding. Jizhou Ding is the first of the Nine Provinces, starting from the Hukou of the Yellow River, covering the entire territory of Shanxi, parts of Hebei and Henan provinces, and the land is white soil. Jizhou is surrounded by rivers on three sides, with the Yellow River roughly as the boundary to the west, south and southeast, the Liao River as the boundary to the northeast, and the desert as the boundary to the north. The western border of Liaoning, the northern border of Hebei, the northern border of Henan, the entire province of Shanxi and the NMG Autonomous Region are all ancient Jizhou territories, with an area of ​​about 1.4 million square kilometers.)
Wang Li showed a surprised expression and said: Could this be the tripod that the King of Qin lifted?

Zheng Lan said: No, King Wu of Qin died while lifting a tripod. The tripod he lifted was the Yongzhou Tripod, and this is the Jizhou Tripod among the Nine Tripods.

But this is too shocking, after all, the Nine Cauldrons have been lost for a long time.

I didn’t expect that our purchasing station could receive it. Could I have made a mistake?
Wang Li said: You should be right, because I used my qi, blood and magnetic field sensing abilities to discover that this tripod has a very strong magnetic field, and it is far stronger than the Sui Hou Pearl we discovered.

So I think he must be extraordinary. Combined with your judgment, I estimate that this thing is most likely the Jizhou Ding.

This is a real treasure!

Zheng Lan asked: Should we hand him over to the country?

Wang Li took into consideration the big storm in the future, shook his head and said: Don't hand it over for now. It's safer here with us now. If there is a chance in the future, we can consider handing it over.

Zheng Lan had calmed down by then, and she said to her husband: "I will study it for a while, if you have nothing to do, go and see the children." Wang Li knew that his wife liked the tripod very much, so he left the underground treasure house and went to see the children.

After all, in his heart, nothing is more important than his own children.

That night, Wang Li slept in Zheng Lan's room. Zheng Lan tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Wang Li hugged his wife and asked: What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the tripod?
Zheng Lan said: Yes, Wang Li, do you believe in fate and destiny?
After hearing her words, Wang Li was slightly stunned and asked: What do you mean?
Zheng Lan said with a self-deprecating smile: It may be because I have read too many ancient books and learned too much historical knowledge, so my thoughts are a little confused.

Wang Li asked in surprise: "What do you mean? Tell me in detail."

Zheng Lan said: Look at our Jianguo, when he was holding a hundred-day ceremony, he grabbed the seal. Not long after, you received the Jiuzhou Ding, which represents power and national destiny.

Do you think this is a sign that our son will establish a country and will be able to hold great power in the future?
Wang Li was slightly stunned when he heard her words, but then he smiled and said: "So you are thinking about this question! No matter what, he is our son. I will support him no matter what he wants to do in the future."

It could also be that, as you said, it represents a certain meaning.

I feel that the magnetic field of the Jiuzhou Ding is very beneficial to people. As for the fate and fortune you mentioned, I don’t know.

Let’s put it this way, we will give this tripod to our eldest son, after all, our eldest daughter, Xiao Huniu, got one of the four famous musical instruments.

You should also prepare a treasure for your eldest son!

Zheng Lan showed a happy expression and said: It's settled.

The couple did not tell anyone else about the Jiuzhou Ding. They wrapped the Jiuzhou Ding in a piece of cloth and placed it in a corner of the underground treasure house.

I plan to give it to my eldest son when he grows up. As for what to do with it, it depends on his own opinion.

Of course Wang Li hopes that his son will like it and keep it at home.
