Xiao Ran leaned out of the bronze mirror and the first thing he saw was the antique little box on the dressing table.

The small box is purple-black with a glossy surface.

The box looked very delicate, and the carvings on it were lifelike. Xiao Ran could even smell a faint fragrance.

For a moment, Xiao Ran felt that the box was the good thing.

Xiao Ran didn't understand the craftsmanship, let alone the materials, but his intuition told him that this small box was a good thing.

Xiao Ran didn't think much about it and reached out to pick up the small box.

“It’s so heavy!”

Carry the box to the dressing table.

Xiao Ran also took the Biyong inkstone given by Li Lizhi. If he didn't take it, it would be a disrespect to the princess.

Xiao Ran even took the glass cup given by the princess, just to see what the Tang Dynasty glass looked like.

"What a nice smell... This smells so good!" Xiao Ran leaned closer and sniffed.

"The scent is a bit like creamy chocolate..." Xiao Ran was ignorant and didn't understand these things, so he didn't know what the material was.

Never seen it!

Xiao Ran opened the small box, "The fragrance inside is even stronger... This smell is a bit intoxicating!"

What catches the eye are strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

One string of coins is equivalent to one thousand Wen, and here are 10,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao coins neatly stacked.

No wonder it's so heavy.

Kaiyuan Tongbao coins typically weigh about 4 grams, a figure based on the casting standards used during the early Tang Dynasty and most of the period.

Eighty kilograms!!!

No wonder I saw someone carrying it with Yushu before.

It is not difficult to lift 80 kilograms, but it is definitely tiring to carry it over a long distance.

"Goodness... 80 kilograms of copper isn't cheap!"

"Ten strings of cash is just like that. If you have a fortune of ten thousand, wouldn't that be a mountain of copper coins?"

Compared with paper money and mobile payments in the 21st century, carrying currency in the Tang Dynasty was indeed troublesome.

Xiao Ran didn't pay much attention to the copper coins. He rummaged through them, took out the copper coins and found the gold in the middle.

"This is the good stuff!"

I have never received such a large amount of gold, and I have never seen such a large amount.

Xiao Ran picked up the heavy gold and ran to the flat scale to weigh it.

I want to see how much gold is worth.

The weight units varied greatly from period to period.

"427.98 grams...less than a pound!"

Xiao Ran returned to the computer and searched how much a pound of rice in the Tang Dynasty cost.

"One pound is 684.768?"

"This is ten taels...why don't I know how to calculate the bill!" Xiao Ran scratched his hair.

"One jin is sixteen liang... Yes, yes, that makes sense. One liang is 42.798 grams."

“There is a difference from the current 50 grams, but it’s not a big difference.”

"How much is gold per gram now..."

Xiao Ran muttered to himself and searched for the recycling price.

“540…”

"540 times 427 equals... two hundred and thirty thousand..."

Xiao Ran was so confused!

I used to think that ten taels of gold should be valuable, but I didn’t expect it to be so much.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand can buy a truckload of hot water bottles and thermal underwear!"

This does not include Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"What a huge profit!" Xiao Ran became more and more excited the more he thought about it!

He pushed the keyboard aside and said, "What a stupid handwriting!"

“No more coding!”

"It's not even a matter of typing. Just flipping a hot water bottle is worth 230,000!"

"I haven't saved this much even after years of coding!"

Xiao Ran put the gold away!

I want to see the Biyong inkstone, which is in a box.

When I took it out and looked at it, it was almost the same as the picture I found online.

"What a pity! I can't write with a brush... Even if I could, I wouldn't be willing to use this thing!"

"It's a fake because of the wrong timing, but it's a good collectible."

This gift was given by Princess Changle Li Lizhi, so it is not just the value that is different, the meaning is also different.

When Li Lizhi and others returned to the little princess's inner palace, they found that the things on the dressing table were missing.

Li Lizhi's lips curled up slightly, "Yushu, go and bring my second sister over to play."

"It's Your Highness!"

Li Lizhi is now very curious about how Xiao Ran came here.

Li Lizhi looked at the little princess next to her, and the little princess must have known it.

Li Lizhi is not in a hurry, she will know sooner or later.

Xiao Ran in the bedroom also saw Li Lizhi and others appear in the inner hall.

Xiao Ran also felt that Li Lizhi had been creating space for herself to operate.

This kind of tacit understanding feels good.

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess and Li Lizhi, put down the Biyong inkstone, and wanted to see what the Tang Dynasty's glass tea set looked like.

At first, Xiao Ran didn't want the glass tea set. Glass is the glass of the 21st century.

Glass cups are worthless in the 21st century.

But when he saw the glass tea set, Xiao Ran realized that he was still too young and too careless.

“I knock!”

When Xiao Ran picked up the glass cup, he was shocked!

It is not transparent, the purity of the glass is not enough to be transparent.

But the workmanship is quite exquisite.

The cup is engraved with phoenix patterns and ruyi cloud patterns. The phoenix spreads its wings, has a crest on its head, and its tail feathers trail behind, with three forks at the end. Its two claws are engraved with negative lines, and the wings are represented by parallel negative lines. Opposite the phoenix pattern, there is also a ruyi cloud pattern engraved.

This feeling is completely different from 21st century crafts.

Xiao Ran couldn't explain it specifically, but the feeling was different.

In the 21st century, no matter how fancy you put on a glass, it will always look cheap.

But the glass cup doesn't have this feeling.

Several cups are the same.

Xiao Ran quickly picked up the teapot and found that it was different.
