Chapter 217 Bronze Mirror
"If it weren't for you, how could he reject me! You obviously know that he likes you, but you don't like him, so why do you want to get so close to him? Give him hope." Chen Mengqi accused.
"Heh! Chen Mengqi, don't you think what you said is ridiculous? What does it have to do with you if I get close to him? He is not your relative, what right do you have to interfere?" Although it was not the first time that Chen Mengqi said this, An Xi still couldn't help laughing out of anger. She really couldn't understand what was wrong with Chen Mengqi's brain to come up with such a perverse logic.
"But he said he only likes you," Chen Mengqi said unconvinced and jealously.
"So what if he likes me? What does it have to do with you?" An Xi asked.
"You..." Chen Mengqi was furious.
Logically speaking, it was none of her business who Le Zhengyu liked, but because Le Zhengyu liked An Qian and left her no chance, she hated and blamed An Qian.
At this moment, the shopping guide came over and reminded: "Ladies, please don't make noise in the store and disturb other customers."
"As long as this young lady behaves herself, it will be fine," An Xi said sarcastically. The problem lies with Chen Mengqi, not her. As long as Chen Mengqi doesn't pick a fight with her, she won't take the initiative to provoke her. She doesn't have the leisure and interest to do so!
After saying that, he ignored Chen Mengqi and turned around to continue looking at clothes.
Although An Xi's mood was affected, she was still in the mood to go shopping.
In a blink of an eye, An Xi pointed to the clothes hanging on the wall and said, "Let me try this dress."
Chen Mengqi was very angry, but she didn't want to continue arguing as it would be embarrassing.
However, having already lost face, Chen Mengqi had no face to stay any longer, so she had to leave in disgrace.
After seeing Chen Mengqi leave, An Qian said to Gu Ning: "Le Zhengyu and I have known each other since we were in our teens. Our two families are from aristocratic families, and our relationship is not that of a family, but it is better than that of a family. Because I am the only girl in my family, he has always taken care of me like a brother. Therefore, I am used to treating him as a brother, and for a while I couldn't accept his feelings for me. However, I did not escape. He knew that I only treated him as a brother, but he did not give up, so I made an agreement with him that if I didn't meet someone I liked before I was thirty, then we would get married. Although this is unfair to him, there is not so much fairness in the world! The one who falls in love first loses."
An Qian said this to Gu Ning, and it was unclear whether she was worried that Gu Ning would misunderstand or she just wanted to talk.
However, Gu Ning also agreed with An Xi's words. There is no such thing as fairness in the world! The one who falls in love first loses.
At least, An Xi and Le Zhengyu have feelings for each other, even if this feeling is family affection. However, even if it is love, it will turn into family affection after marriage.
The fact that An Qian made this agreement shows that she does not reject the possibility of becoming a family with Le Zhengyu.
"Ningning, take a look too. If you see anything you like, I'll give it to you." An Qian said generously.
This store is just a mid-range brand, not very expensive, so Gu Ning didn't bother to be polite with An Xi and directly picked up a hat he liked: "I think this hat is good, I want this one."
Anxi bought a sweater, a coat and a skirt.
After coming out of the mall, Gu Ning and An Qian separated.
After leaving, Gu Ning did not go home, but went to Yuntaishan.
She had put off the treasure hunt for a long time, and now that she had time, she decided to go and take a look.
It is naturally impossible for anyone to climb the mountain at night, so Yuntaishan is very quiet. Since there are no valuables here, there is not even anyone on night shift.
Although there was a camera at the gate, it was pitch black and couldn't see clearly, so Gu Ning avoided it slightly and climbed over the wall easily.
Although it was dark, Gu Ning had jade pupils, which did not affect his night vision.
Gu Ning ran all the way, and after one hour and twenty minutes, he reached the top of the mountain.
Then he quickly took out the rope from the Jade Eye Space, found a place to fix it, and then jumped down.
When the shuttle reaches a cliff with a cave, stop and observe the specific situation through X-ray to see if there is anything dangerous inside.
None found yet.
Then Gu Ning took out the tools and started prying the stone wall.
There is no one within a thousand meters here, so there is no need to worry about being heard if you make any noise.
There was already a crack in the cliff, and after prying for a while, it gradually widened.
Gu Ning didn't plan to expand the house, just make it big enough to accommodate himself.
About an hour later, the crack in the rock was enlarged and it was able to accommodate itself.
After entering the cave, Gu Ning went straight to the source of the spiritual energy.
After walking about twenty meters, we came to a cave of about ten square meters, and the layout inside could be seen clearly at a glance.
In fact, the cave was very simple. On one side, there was a pile of firewood, a pot, and a few broken bowls.
On the other side, there was a straw mat with a few pieces of clothes that had become rags and a package as big as a pillow.
The spiritual energy emanates from the package, which means that the ancient artifact is inside the package.
Gu Ning was not in a hurry to open the package. Instead, she looked through it to see what was inside to see if there were any snakes, insects, rats or ants. This was to prevent something from jumping out and scaring her when she opened it.
Gu Ning is bold, but still afraid of those disgusting snakes, insects, rats and ants.
There were gold, silver, jewelry, a large pile of banknotes, two scrolls, and some porcelain. After making sure there were no snakes, insects, rats or ants, Gu Ning opened the package.
Gu Ning didn't have time to study the origins of these things here, so he directly put them into his jade pupils and went home to study them.
After putting the things into Yutong, Gu Ning returned the same way.
The journey was smooth and it was almost twelve o'clock when I got home.
Because Gu Man knew that Gu Ning was going to see An Xi, she thought they were always together and did not ask any further questions.
After washing up and returning to his room, Gu Ning took out the things and examined them one by one.
These items belonged to a corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, but not all of them are from the Qing Dynasty. Some may be from before the Qing Dynasty.
Putting the gold, silver and jewelry aside, Gu Ning first checked a bronze mirror. There was an introduction to bronze mirrors in the antique books that Gu Ning had read, so the information about the bronze mirror immediately popped up in his mind.
Bronze mirrors have been around since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but they were not commonly used in the Shang dynasty. Only people of extremely high status would own one, making it a very rare item.
It became very popular during the Warring States Period and became even more exquisite during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Characteristics of bronze mirrors in different eras: Bronze mirrors from the Shang Dynasty were smaller and had geometric patterns on the back.
Bronze mirrors from the Western Zhou Dynasty generally had plain backs, but their buttons came in many different shapes and sizes.
There are very few bronze mirrors in the Spring and Autumn Period. Most of them have plain backs, and a few are decorated with tiger, deer, and bird patterns.
