Chapter 218 Night Pearl
During the Warring States Period, bronze mirrors developed in large numbers. The bronze mirrors of this period were mostly delicate and thin, with small buttons and usually cast with exquisite patterns. The most common ones were mountain patterns, dragon and phoenix patterns, flower and leaf patterns, continuous arc patterns, diamond patterns, etc. There were few plain mirrors without patterns on the back.
Bronze mirrors in the Western Han Dynasty gradually became thicker and heavier, and there were often auspicious inscriptions on the mirrors. The mirror knobs were mostly hemispherical, and the persimmon-shaped knob base was very popular. At this time, the "sunlight-seeing" translucent mirrors also appeared, that is, when the mirror surface was exposed to sunlight, the wall would reflect the pattern corresponding to the mirror back.
From the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, relief portrait mirrors and mythical beast mirrors appeared.
The Tang Dynasty was the peak period of the development of bronze mirrors in my country. Not only were they made with great craftsmanship, but they also broke the traditional single pattern of round mirrors with knobs. There were many forms such as square, diamond-shaped, sunflower-shaped, and hand mirrors with handles. The decorations also became rich and colorful, with flowers and butterflies, grapes, birds and beasts, and stories about people. During this period, gold and silver flat spiral mirrors also appeared.
The mirror casting technology began to decline in the Song Dynasty. The patterns on Song mirrors were mainly twined flowers and plants, peonies, etc. Huzhou was the most famous mirror casting center in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the back of the mirrors often had the mark of the mirror-making workshop.
The bronze mirror in Gu Ning's hand is delicate and thin, with a small button and diamond patterns. It is from the Warring States Period.
As for the value, Gu Ning couldn't estimate it, but it should be worth a million!
Then there is a sweet white glaze thin-bodied porcelain jar with a height of 10.3CM, a mouth diameter of 5.2CM and a bottom diameter of 6.6CM.
The characteristics of the porcelain jar are that the body is as thin as paper, the light and shadow are shining, the glaze is like jade, there are exquisitely painted flowers, grape patterns painted on the yellow glaze, and the four-character seal script mark "Yongle Year" is written on the bottom.
In other words, this piece of sweet white glaze thin-bodied porcelain jar was produced during the Yongle period, which is a rare item.
A sweet white glaze thin-walled porcelain bowl costs tens of millions, so this porcelain jar is even more valuable. Gu Ning dare not think of hundreds of millions, but 70 or 80 million should be worth it!
Gu Ning was very excited.
Next, there was a large pastel plate, an official kiln brush washer, and a blue and white plate with the pattern of blooming flowers and prosperity. All of these were worth millions. As for the exact value, Gu Ning didn't know.
Then there are the two paintings.
One of them is "Lotus by the Water" by Tang Yin, a painter, calligrapher and poet in the Ming Dynasty, and is also worth several million.
There is also a calligraphy piece called "The Goddess of the Luo River" by Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher, painter and poet from the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty. Its value ranges from several million to tens of millions.
In the market, the price will be lower, but at the auction, it will be much higher.
Gu Ning planned to go to an auction if he wanted to sell it.
The rest are gold and silver ingots, gold bracelets, gold leaves, etc.
This Liu Jiang is truly a corrupt official. He actually managed to get so many valuable things. Gu Ning really has to thank this Lord Liu.
There is also a square rosewood box about ten centimeters high.
As soon as Gu Ning opened the box, a bright light came out, which scared Gu Ning. He instinctively threw the box onto the bed.
At the same time, Gu Ning also felt a strong and absorbable spiritual energy.
Although this spiritual energy made Gu Ning want to absorb it urgently, he still held back and waited to see clearly what it was talking about.
You don’t know until you see it. When you see it, you will be shocked. It turns out to be a night pearl as big as an egg.
Wow, this night pearl must be worth more than tens of millions!
Not to mention the value of money, but the spiritual energy attached to it is the strongest Gu Ning has ever seen.
The night-shining pearl is a rare gem, which was called "Suizhu", "Xuanzhu", "Chuiji", "Mingyuezhu" and so on in ancient times.
The night-shining pearl can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon on its own, and continue to thrive.
In other words, as long as Gu Ning carries this night pearl on his body, he will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The biggest reward for Gu Ning in this treasure hunt was this night-shining pearl.
Therefore, Gu Ning only kept this night pearl for his own use and would not sell it.
When Gu Ning absorbed the spiritual energy of the Night Pearl into the Jade Pupil Space, the space changed again, doubling in size to four square meters. Moreover, the perspective also became wider.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Gu Ning put everything into his jade pupils and went to sleep.
Gu Ning is short of money now, but it is not enough to sell the antiques in his hands, so Gu Ning is not in a hurry to sell them. However, he can see when and where there is an auction and take them there for auction.
In the next few days, everything was relatively calm and nothing major happened.
Gu Qingxiang did not come to harass Gu Qing and Gu Man.
Chen Ziyao came to class, but she had already been isolated and was often ridiculed by her classmates, which made her mentally and emotionally very bad and she couldn't continue studying.
She had occasionally met Gu Ning a few times and always avoided her. However, every time Gu Ning walked by, she would look at Gu Ning with extremely resentful eyes, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
She hated Gu Ning so much, but she didn't know how to teach her a lesson, so she could only endure it.
In City G, after Zhengyang Street was expropriated by Shenghua Real Estate, Hongyun Real Estate did not take any action.
Of course, this is just on the surface. Privately, they have already been planning it.
Because Zhengyang Street had not yet been demolished, he was unable to take action on Zhengyang Street, so Fang Changsheng planned to take action on the construction site of Shenghua Real Estate in City F.
So for now, it's just the calm before the storm.
The business of "Jade Beauty Jewelry" is also normal. The revenue is naturally not as good as the first three days of opening, but it is much better than the revenue of ordinary jewelry stores.
What made Gu Ning dissatisfied was that she had not contacted Leng Shaoting in the past few days. This made Gu Ning very worried and concerned, fearing that something might happen to him.
But Leng Shaoting was on a mission, so she didn't want to disturb him.
However, things were not peaceful at the Li family.
After Li Zhenzhen locked herself in her room for two days without eating or drinking, the Li family realized something was wrong.
When she didn't respond when he called her, Li Zhenyu broke into the room and found Li Zhenzhen, who was so haggard that she almost fainted. He immediately sent her to the hospital, and she got better after receiving an IV drip.
The Li family asked Li Zhenzhen why she locked herself in the room and refused to eat or drink, but Li Zhenzhen refused to say a word, and the Li family could do nothing about it.
The Li family suspected that it was because of Qin Yifan's matter that made her feel depressed for a while.
But he also felt that it was not justifiable. After all, this was not the first or second time that Qin Yifan had rejected Li Zhenzhen, and he had never seen Li Zhenzhen be so extreme.
That's why!
The Li family really couldn't imagine why Li Zhenzhen would do this.
Li Zhenyu thought that Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing were best friends, and guessed that she might know, so he called Su Jing.
After receiving Li Zhenyu's call and learning about Li Zhenzhen's situation, Su Jing was not surprised, because Su Jing was not much better than Li Zhenzhen and also lost her appetite.
It’s just because I don’t want to worry my family, so I eat a little bit, so my health condition is not as serious as Li Zhenzhen’s.
