Chapter 82: The Afang Palace opens grandly.
"I won't go into detail because the situation of this artifact is really special."
"Over the years, the successors of Yong'an Pawnshop have regarded the perfection of this set of works as their life goal. However, as you can see, once a turbulent period comes, this set of "Journey to the West" embroidered with all gold thread is almost destined to become the first target of all kinds of burning, killing and looting."
"So in the history of Yong'an Pawnshop, this set of Journey to the West was buried underground many times, which is why the previous bronze book box existed."
Dong Lele: "But as far as I know, the previous head of the Yong'an Pawnshop, Ms. Xu Yonghe, who was also the head of the Yong'an Museum, did not seem to have dug out this set of bookcases."
"Yes, after Principal Xu took over Yong'an Pawnshop, she did not choose to continue to improve it like the previous person in charge did."
"There are two main reasons for this. On the one hand, President Xu also went through a period of time when he was very sensitive about cultural relics. Another reason is that President Xu did not know about the existence of this set of works in the early years."
At this point, Jia Wenyan turned her attention to the big screen again and said, "Several people in power at the Yong'an Museum have spent their entire lives perfecting this work."
"But I believe everyone knows that it is a crime to possess a treasure. No one else knows about the existence of this set of embroidery books except the heir of Yong'an Pawnshop."
"Even Mr. Wu, who wrote the book, was not aware of the Wing On Pawnshop's plan. He thought that Wing On Pawnshop would collect the original editions while publishing them."
Dong Lele: "That's the embroidery book..."
"That's right. The reason why it took hundreds of years to complete the embroidery of the text and a picture of apprenticeship is that this is a secret that only the heir of Yong'an Pawnshop knows."
"In order to ensure that this treasure is not coveted, all the embroidery and pictures on it were embroidered by the person in charge of Yong'an Pawnshop."
"This is also the reason why Yong'an Pawnshop has never been entangled in gender in its past history. In the final analysis, compared with the old concept of gender inheritance, Yong'an Pawnshop cares more about whether the heir has the ability to continue this work."
"There were even several times during this process where grandparents only passed down secrets to their grandchildren because their fathers were not skilled enough."
Dong Lele: "So you mean Xu Yong and Dean Xu..."
When Dong Lele said this, he quickly swallowed back the second half of the sentence that was about to burst out.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she hurried to look at Jia Wenyan's face, but saw that she looked confused, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Jia Wenyan: "I didn't say anything."
[Fuck, Sister Lele is in danger. ]
[Le Le, I've told you several times to change your habit of always answering others' questions.]
【Do you understand that trouble comes from the mouth? 】
[To add, the person they were discussing was the man who dared to drive a red flag to the university gate to "rob a bride" in the last century.]
[Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about above? How can what Grandma Xu did be called a bride robbery? It was clearly a display of an excellent woman's own advantages.]
[That’s right, being rich and having a good background is not a disadvantage. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. At that time, Dean Zhen didn’t know many people in the local area.]
…
The comments were full of laughter, but this was indeed an absolute fact.
Like Jia Wenyan, Xu Yonghe, who possesses the golden eyes of time, does have the ability to communicate with spirits of objects.
But Grandma Xu's father "died accidentally" during the turbulent period.
In addition, Xu Yonghe, who had never liked manual work, did not meet the standard for knowing this news at that time, which prevented Xu Yonghe from learning about the existence of the "Embroidered Book" from his parents.
By the way, when Jia Wenyan just learned the news not long ago, she also curiously asked Xu Yonghe why he did not detect the existence of the "Embroidered Book" through the Golden Eyes of Time.
But what she didn't expect was that there was no spirit in the Yong'an Museum at that time that could sense the existence of "Journey to the West" like "Tianxing (Dragon Scale Jade Pendant)".
It was not until later when Jia Wenyan accidentally mentioned the "cultural relics" under the Yong'an Workshop during a conversation that Xu Yonghe began to notice and find clues related to this set of "Embroidery Books" among his father's relics.
As for the fact that she became the only female successor to Yong'an Pawnshop because of her poor needlework skills, Xu Yonghe deliberately "hinted" that Jia Wenyan must publicize this "embarrassing fact".
Xu Yonghe is very clear that for the general public, although people will instinctively respect and admire outstanding people, at the same time, over time, when people gradually understand and instinctively believe in and even tacitly accept the excellence of the target object.
People will begin to pay more attention to each other's more human "shortcomings" and gossip.
Xu Yonghe believes that this piece of gossip about herself will be able to improve her own "personality" while promoting their "Journey to the West" series of projects.
As expected, as a pioneer who once broke the traditional "concept of love and marriage" in Xian'an City, the news about Xu Yong and her lack of knowledge of "needlework" quickly became a hot topic among many people.
[I knew it, Grandma Xu's hands don't look like they can do any work.]
[That is, sitting at home embroidering all day, this kind of thing does not seem like something Ms. Xu would do.]
[Haha, but think about it carefully, Yongan Pawnshop has existed for so many years, and so many male heirs over the hundreds of years actually got their inheritance by being able to embroider.]
[A group of strong men from the northwest compete for their family property by doing embroidery. It's inexplicably a little cute. What's the big deal? 】
[If I remember correctly, there was a wedding photo of President Xu and Dean Zhen circulating in Xian'an University. The person sitting in the chair in front of them should be President Xu's father.]
[Wait a moment, I'll look for my phone. ]
[Picture above.]
[Fuck, this is Principal Xu's father? ]
Netizens who were unaware of the specific situation stared blankly at the photos uploaded by someone in the know.
Although most people have the stereotype of "Northwest Wolf and Northeast Tiger" about the north.
But Xu Yonghe's father...was clearly what could be described as a "Northwest Wolf".
Some netizens have calculated that based on the height comparison between Xu Yong's height of 170cm and Zhen Yuandao's height of 181cm, Grandpa Xu who was sitting on the chair in front of the two of them... was at least two meters tall.
His sturdy muscles and square face that looked intimidating without even showing any anger made Zhen Yuandao, who was standing behind him, look like a typical "baby-faced" man.
It is true that Dean Zhen has a delicate appearance, but given his height of over 180cm in that era, few people would associate him with the word weak.
However, when he stood behind his father-in-law, the contrast between the styles before and after perfectly presented the contrast between the big bad wolf and the little white rabbit.
Many netizens even began to speculate that Grandma Xu fell in love with Dean Zhen, a "pale scholar" from the capital, because her father was too majestic.
But in this way...
[Don't tell me that such a typical strong man from the northwest is actually an embroidery expert. ]
[With this height and these muscles, I would believe you if you told me that my great grandfather was a Guandao wielder. Embroidery?]
[Could it be that the great grandfather used a two-meter-long javelin? ]
[A javelin and an embroidery needle... yes, they are just a little different in size.]
[Great grandfather: Let me embroider a flower for you with this javelin? ]
[I suddenly understand why Director Zhen's handsome face can be matched with the model of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. It turns out that this is inherited from my grandfather. ]
[Dean Zhen’s handsome face, coupled with his grandfather’s temperament…]
[Hiss, hiss, hiss…]
…
Netizens couldn't believe it and filled the comment section with comments. As the on-site guide of all this, Jia Wenyan also raised the topic again after the atmosphere was almost set:
"I know you may not be willing to believe it, but from what I know, Great Grandfather Xu was indeed a very good embroidery craftsman."
"His embroidery works are highly praised by several famous embroidery teachers from the south of China in our Yongan College."
[Oh my god, please bring it up quickly. I really want to see the masterpiece embroidered by a two-meter-tall man.]
[Jiayi, with such a big hand, can you really hold an embroidery needle? ]
…
Netizens are paying more and more attention to Mr. Xu, and Jia Wenyan also switched to another picture on the big screen at the right time.
Jia Wenyan: "What you are seeing now is the masterpiece left by Xu Zhenhai, the great grandfather."
"It was also the masterpiece that allowed Mrs. Xu to inherit the Wing On Pawnshop."
Jia Wenyan: "We can see that in this embroidery painting with the palace as the theme, both the grandeur of the palace itself and the exquisite and complicated luxurious "interior" layout in the perspective details are presented very well."
While describing the details in the pictures, Jia Wenyan explained to the host and the audience in the live broadcast room the superb embroidery skills of Grandpa Xu Zhenhai.
However, at this moment, Dong Lele, who was standing aside, only heard some of Jia Wenyan's description at the beginning, and then he fell into a daze as if his soul had left his body.
Because at that moment, as a host who has been engaged in publicity work in the field of Donghuang traditional culture for many years and has always had a very extensive knowledge reserve of Donghuang traditional culture, she almost thought of a possibility that even surprised herself just at the moment she saw the embroidery.
For this reason, she wanted to get confirmation from Jia Wenyan, but before she could open her mouth, Jia Wenyan had already caught the confusion she wanted to ask from the change in her expression.
She smiled at the camera and waved to Dong Lele to calm down.
"Don't doubt it. I know what you want to ask, because I had the same reaction as you when I first saw this embroidery."
Dong Lele: "What's embroidered on this painting is really..."
"Yes... The theme depicted in this embroidery is the Afang Palace, which is known as the best palace in the world!"
