Abandoned wives of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 280 Something Strange in the Jewelry Box

When Ning Hua and Ning Yuan sorted out the antiques of Faka, they were really taken aback.

Prodigal son, prodigal son, three warehouses are full of antiques, and the most important thing is that one warehouse is full of antique birdcages and cricket jars.

Steward Qin has been by Faka's side for many years, pointing to the warehouse of the nail shop and said, "At that time, the master specially ordered this warehouse to be given to Master Yuan and Fujin. He said that I'm sorry for the brothers and sisters over the years. As for B and C, I said It is divided equally among brothers and sisters."

In order to show fairness and openness, all the concubines and concubines were present, and of course, there was also Ning Cheng, who was the representative of the eldest house.

And Guanshi Qin has always been trusted by Faka, and those concubines naturally don't think that they will help Ning Yuan and the others to cheat. What's more, if the brothers and sisters really want to cheat, there is no need to ask themselves to come. The eldest son, he is entitled to all of Faka's private houses.

In terms of righteousness, it is absolutely tenable. Even if the lawsuit is brought to any yamen, they also know that they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Therefore, the bastards were very excited to share some antiques, after all, it was a windfall.

"Ning Yuan, are you brothers and sisters really planning to auction it off?" Actually Ning Cheng felt that it was not easy for the third uncle to collect these antiques, and only a prodigal son would use them to sell his father's antiques. Therefore, he did not support or approve.

"Brother must also know that Ama used to do nothing but buy antiques. At that time, there were not many shops with three bedrooms. Although there was profit, it was about a few thousand taels a year. Quite a few, but it is indeed difficult to pay for the marriages of several younger brothers and sisters, no matter what, we always hope that the marriages of younger brothers and sisters will be successful."

Ning Hua smiled and said. "What's more, Ama has also confessed before she became paralyzed. As a parent, I naturally hope that my children will be safe and happy. Ama will definitely support our move. Brother, don't worry too much."

Although Ning Cheng is quite ordinary in many aspects, plus he has a mother that Ning Hua hates.However, it is true that Ning Hua's brothers and sisters are really considered, so Ning Hua is also very sympathetic.

After everyone sorted it out, except for the size C, they were all antique birdcages and cricket jars.The warehouse in size B contains some vases, some calligraphy and paintings.And some nice furniture.

"The third master said at that time that we should collect more of these furniture, so that we can add makeup to our daughters. After all, wood is hard to find, but this is the only set we have gathered now. This..." Qin Guanshi Said with some embarrassment.

There are several unmarried ones here, if the sisters are divided.They can't make a set, if you give it to one of them, the others will have other thoughts.

"Well, I'll ask someone to convert it into silver and calculate it. When the time comes, we will sell these, and we will make up for more. Sisters, let's see if anyone likes it. When the time comes, I will bring it up by myself. Sisters are always negotiable." .” Ning Hua said with a smile.

Several concubine sisters went up to look it over, some of them felt that if Ama was still in good condition, based on how much his mother was favored in front of Faka, it must belong to him, and there was no need to argue.

This is mainly like Aunt Zhen's daughter, who feels that it is her own thing, and now she has to spend money to buy back her own dowry, so she feels a little reluctant.

As for some, they felt that it would be more realistic to get some money.

For the things in the two warehouses of B and C, Ning Hua also asked each of the concubines and concubine sisters to pick two to think about. Although some items may fail to be auctioned, most of them must be sold. And no matter what, these things belonged to Faka after all, and each person left some things, which can be regarded as the relationship between father and son and father and daughter.

Basically everyone picks them in Warehouse B, some pick calligraphy and paintings, and some pick vases.

Anyway, everyone knows that the ranking of Warehouse B must be higher than that of C, and the rank of Warehouse A is not up, so it is naturally expensive.

Besides, warehouse C is full of birdcages or cricket pots, and I am a motivated person, how can I follow Ama to play with things and lose my mind?

Even if you are really interested, you can't choose these things now. You must know that the choice of your own wife has not yet been finalized.

It is necessary to make a good impression on the future natal family. As for the daughter-in-law entering the house, certain things can be revealed.

Seeing that someone else had picked one, Ning Hua picked one himself.

She didn't pick it from Warehouse B, it's not that she is pretending to be noble, the vase is inconvenient to carry around, as for calligraphy and painting, to be honest, you can expect a person who has always liked flowers, birds, fish and insects to buy something good, or Better value?

Therefore, I picked a jewelry box from C warehouse.

It is made of wood, smells and smells good, and it looks old, even if it is not a rare antique, but the style is good, and it feels a bit like a modern stepped jewelry box to Ning Hua.

Although I also have a jewelry box, but it's good to pick one for Zhiwei. The little guy has more and more jewelry, and some of the precious ones are naturally locked up by Ning Hua, and they will be given to her as a dowry in the future. However, some Smaller, naturally let her wear it at ordinary times.

Ning Hua prefers this kind of stepped style, which is like the current jewelry box. It can put some things that are often carried recently, and there are some wooden shelves that can be carried, which is convenient for carrying.

I don't know if this kind of box was made by time-travelers. After all, I have been to many Fujin's houses, and I have never seen such a jewelry box.

After everyone has chosen, let Butler Qin record it in the register, and then let several masters invited from Rongbaozhai taste the things in the two warehouses one by one.

These three masters can be regarded as veterans of the antique industry in the capital city, and they are quite popular in the circle, and people from Rongbaozhai have tasted them, so those who will go to the auction will feel at ease.

The people in Rongbaozhai mainly divided the items into three categories according to their value. After all, there were too many small things, so they probably marked some prices, and a few people went back.

After Ning Hua, Ning Yuan and the others took a look, they found that there were probably several pieces of the highest grade, with an estimated price of around 400 to 500 taels, and the lowest price was around 50 taels. Many pieces, these are not actually antiques, they can only be said to be good-looking gadgets.

When the day of the official auction came, Ning Hua asked people to transport the things to the tea yard.

In addition to myself and my sister-in-law, my younger brothers and younger sisters also sent representatives to the scene.

It should be said that Faka's thoughts cannot be viewed with common sense.

Therefore, after letting the old Xingzun of Rongbaozhai come, Ning Hua also asked someone he knew to come to see. These two people, one is often buying some antiques for Si Age's mansion, and the other It's for my family to watch.

It should be said that there are seven or eight items in the warehouse of size C, not only in good condition, but also in higher value.

I don't know if it was sold to Fakha by someone else, or if Faka picked it up early.

Why did Ning Hua ask someone to take a look again?Mainly, there was something wrong with the jewelry box.

After Ning Hua returned to the mansion that night, he threw the jewelry box to Zhiwei.

Zhiwei has always had a hobby, like knocking and knocking. Anyway, Erniang said, this jewelry box is not very valuable. After all, Zhiwei is a child. What do you know? Hua face.

After knocking for a while, Zhiwei discovered that although the box may be divided into three layers in stages, each layer is actually a sandwich box.

This makes Zhiwei so excited, could it be a treasure map?For example, what is the treasure map of a rich family in the previous dynasty?

These days, Zhiwei has read a lot of books, and some picture books, plus listening to some students in the study room, the knowledge is quite broad, and it is no longer the one who just came out of Zhuangzi and has never seen it. The little girl I met.

She really likes playing that kind of treasure game, mainly because she has never played it before, and she feels in her heart that there must be treasures in this jewelry box, otherwise, what kind of box should I use.

Naturally, this kind of good thing has to be shared with Aunt Zhang. Where is Er Niang, I can't tell for the time being. You know, Er Niang has swallowed many of her treasures.

Although I will return it to myself in the future, I can collect my own things by myself, and I am not a two or three-year-old child anymore.

Zhiwei fiddled with it for a long time but didn't come up with anything. She still hugged the jewelry box to sleep at night. Aunt Zhang thought that Zhiwei would not be able to sleep all night. After all, the jewelry box hadn't been opened. , has always belonged to the master who can't sleep as long as he has something on his mind.

However, unexpectedly, Zhiweihuhu slept soundly, and after waking up, she was refreshed, not to mention how rosy her little face was.

Aunt Zhang actually told Bai Shu about the matter that night, and asked Bai Shu to pass it on to Ning Hua, but Ning Hua felt that the jewelry box was given to Zhiwei, so let her do it anyway, if it breaks, it will break.

However, after listening to Aunt Zhang's report the next day, she felt that the box had a calming effect?

After all, my daughter knows it herself.

Although Zhiwei hadn't opened the box yet, Ning Hua felt that if he wanted to buy double insurance, he asked someone to look at it again. What if the people from Rongbaozhai also opened their eyes?

This is not good.

After all, there were too many goods that day, so people just looked at it like this.

Sure enough, after looking at it, I found a few more items that could be sold at a high price, which was a surprise.

As for Zhiwei's box, she is still fiddling with and beating on it. Anyway, since it was given to her, it belongs to the little guy. Whether it is gold or silver, it belongs to the little guy, of course. , if she ruined it, that is her own responsibility.

In fact, Ning Hua arranged for those antique birdcages and those cricket pots to be auctioned off at Prince Jane's Mansion.

After all, the people who come to my tea yard are all women's family members, and they are doing business for women's family members. No one with a brain would buy birdcages and cricket jars for his husband. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
