Chapter 91 Pure Gold Filigree Box
While waiting for the milk tea, Li Heng went out again and said that the balance could not fit in one box and there was more to come.
When Chen You heard this, she became particularly active in helping out in the yard.
Five hundred taels of gold were collected as a deposit, and the remaining fifteen hundred taels were neatly placed in a wooden box.
It looks very new, so it must have been made not long ago. The color of ancient gold ingots is not that bright, and it is even a little black, but every word printed on it is of extraordinary value.
Chen You looked at the boxes and thought, there are quite a few of them, big and small, in the store, and they take up quite a bit of space, so I can pick out two and sell them in the antique street.
Another small profit!
Chen You opened the other two larger boxes with anticipation, her eyes were dazzled!
There are bowls and filigree boxes made of pure gold, as well as a pure gold flower-shaped ruyi.
The things in the palace are just great, and even daily utensils can be extremely luxurious.
The box is guaranteed to be worth more than 30 million yuan at the auction, the Ruyi is worth almost 20 million yuan, and there are also bowls and cups.
Although warm clothing costs a lot, the income is also high!
In addition to the pure gold utensils in the palace, there are also two porcelain vases, which are of particularly high-end Chinese vermilion, bright and elegant without being too eye-catching.
Ancient aesthetics never disappoints.
There are also jade handles, which, although not as clear as water, have elegant colors and blend perfectly with the carved patterns.
How can I not feel peaceful when I’m playing with this thing in my hand!
If you take out these things like hairpins, ivory boxes, and fans carved from golden nanmu, you can definitely set up a small private collection exhibition!
"What do you think of this thing, Miss Shen?" Li Heng asked with a faint smile.
"They are all rare treasures." Chen You couldn't bear to take his eyes off these objects.
If Li Heng hadn't been here, she would have been unable to resist taking out the classic two-piece suit, gloves and a magnifying glass to study it carefully.
Seeing Chen You's satisfied expression, Li Heng also raised the corner of his mouth.
"These things were brought back from the disaster relief mission in Yunzhou. My father asked me what kind of reward I wanted, so I asked him for them and selected them from the palace storehouse."
When mentioning this matter, he said he wanted to reward him, but his eyes were dark and cold. If he said something wrong, he would be accused of having evil intentions.
I heard him say that there were assassins in the mansion, who set fire to the storehouse, destroying many things and only wanted a few treasures.
The expression on that person's face was stunned for a few seconds, then he waved his hand and agreed, and the way he looked at him softened a lot.
When he told him to choose, he really acted like a father.
Later, when he realized that he was really rude and had picked the good things, his father thought that he was stupid and his fear of him was reduced a little.
"There is also a golden nanmu reclining chair and a beauty couch. Although they are not as good as the ones sent before, they are also rare old materials."
"I drew a blueprint for this chair and gave it to the craftsman. It has not been completed yet, so it will take some time to deliver it."
Li Heng looked at the rocking chair that Chen You usually placed under the eaves. When he came here before, he thought this thing was good. It had a simple style and two arc-shaped solid wood supports underneath. It was stable and beautiful.
Once the craftsmen make it, it might become popular in the capital.
"It's okay, there's no need to rush." Top-quality materials are hard to find, and Chen You didn't expect to get such good ones.
As long as it is golden nanmu, it will be fine.
Thinking of this, Chen You took away the cushions and pillows on the rocking chair, turned up the lights, and took out paper and pen.
"Drawing the structural details in this way can help craftsmen avoid taking detours."
She bought it for a few hundred dollars just to save money, and the workmanship is a bit rough. Ancient craftsmen should have been able to improve it on this basis.
"Okay." Li Heng nodded with a smile, picked up a pen and paper and drew a picture.
I just finished painting when the takeaway arrived.
Li Heng had no reason to stay any longer, so he told Chen You that he would arrange for someone to pick up the goods tomorrow, and then left the shop.
Chen You was no longer tense. She excitedly opened the drawer, took out a magnifying glass, and studied the craftsmanship of the hollow gold box for a long time.
Well, it looks difficult, but it is not easy at all.
Of course she could, but it would take her a year or two to replicate one on her own.
After packing up all the things, Chen You sat down and lit the goose pear incense she had just bought. She chose an antique she liked, played with it while drinking tea and watching videos, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.
The next day, during breakfast, Chen You delivered the goods at the agreed time.
It was simple on her side, and she got things done in seconds.
The problem he had to consider was how to transport the goods from Li Heng's side. He couldn't use his own name, so he had to use the name of a caravan.
So I had to do it quietly in the early morning when no one was around. It was cold in Daqi. It was still dark at seven in the morning and the cold wind made my face hurt.
Chen You gave Liu Zheng two boxes of pomegranates that he had bought at the fruit shop at the entrance of the alley last night. He used one box to exchange for the paintings, and the other box was for him and Li Heng, and they divided it among themselves.
Watching the surveillance video, the person at the door loaded the things into the truck in a well-trained manner, repeating this twice, until the last time, the cart disappeared from the surveillance screen.
Chen You and Liu Zheng confirmed that the quantity of goods shipped this time was correct, closed the store, and went back to their room to take a nap.
Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang will go to the studio this morning, so she can arrive later.
The weather in late autumn is a little cool but not cold, which is perfect for snuggling in bed and sleeping.
In a daze, the cell phone rang frantically. Shen You glanced at the caller and sobered up a little.
"Xiao Su, what's the matter?"
"Miss Shen, there is a problem here." Yu Xiaosu almost cried when she heard this.
"We were at the door just now, and the tile deliveryman came over. While we were signing for the tiles, a carving that had just been removed from the eaves and a window were missing. Sorry, we didn't notice it."
That is not an ordinary piece of wood. The courtyard has existed since the Song Dynasty. The house has undergone several renovations and restorations in ancient times. The carved windows are antiques that were replaced in the Qing Dynasty.
If they lose it here, they don't know how to explain it and are extremely anxious.
"Go to Uncle Song's place and check the surveillance. It's okay. There are no blind spots in the yard and the door. Whoever takes her away will definitely be captured on camera."
Chen You sat up and said, "Don't worry too much. Even if we can't find it, we can still go get one."
"Yeah." Yu Xiaosu calmed himself down, hung up the phone, and went straight to the concierge.
Something happened, and Chen You couldn't continue sleeping. She had to go over and see what was going on.
The windows were taken down and placed on the ground. Even if they were next to the front door, most people would not pick up old wood from other people's houses.
It is very likely that he knew that this thing was valuable and would be worth at least tens of thousands if sold.
Chen You quickly changed her clothes, took her car keys, and went downstairs to the garage.
We were halfway there when the clouds darkened. It was a little after nine o'clock and the traffic was not congested, but the two cars in front of us had a collision and were stuck on the road, having to take photos and collect evidence before they could move on, which delayed us some time.
When Shen You arrived at the studio, Yu Xiaosu had already called the police.
The surveillance video shows a person wearing a mask, cowering and picking up something and running away when no one is looking.
It looks like it was planned for a long time.
