Chapter 575 Gold
In the end, all the demantoids, lapis lazuli, and prehnite in Zhu Huaizhen's purse were used to fill the peony flower.
Zhu Huaizhen felt heartbroken and regretted not picking up more.
There are still two pieces of southern red agate left from Lou Li's place.
Queen Du also contributed her Queen Phoenix Conch Pearl, leaving more than half.
As for Emperor Zhao of Zhou's two dried rose gold pearls, they were of no use.
Next, we have to wait for the tomb door to slowly open.
Lou Li was afraid that Zhu Huaizhen would be bored, so he raised his orchid finger and sang a passage from "Peach Blossom Fan".
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Then, the door of the tomb opened wide.
The sudden golden light was so dazzling that everyone couldn't take their eyes off it.
"It's gold!" Queen Du was quite surprised.
Sure enough, when I entered the front tomb chamber, I saw gold as far as the eye could see.
The reputation of "a hundred acres of gold" is well-deserved.
Even the coffin was made of gold, and eight golden boxes were placed next to it.
When the gold box was opened, it was filled with gold jewelry.
For example, there are gold hairpins, including silver-gilt ear-ring melon-shaped bottle-top cone-foot hairpins, silver-gilt lotus and mandarin duck-top cone-foot hairpins, gold melon and fruit-patterned cone-foot hairpins, silver-gilt Mahayara Ruyi hairpins, silver-gilt dragon and peony hairpins, gold hollow flower tube hairpins, red gold inlaid vermilion agate Jingfu long-lasting hairpins, red gold Hehe lotus and eight treasures exquisite hairpins, red gold filigree and gem-studded hairpins, red gold inlaid beeswax water drop hairpins, gold double-headed lychee hairpins, and so on.
For example, there are gold hairpins, such as gold linked bamboo hairpins, gold wrapped silk hairpins, gold flower tube bridge hairpins, gold bamboo leaf bridge hairpins, red gold filigree ruby phoenix head hairpins, red gold filigree ruby crabapple flower hairpins, red gold filigree inlaid ruby five phoenixes facing the sun hairpins with pearls, gold filigree inlaid ruby and kingfisher feather double phoenix hairpins, nine phoenixes around pearls, red gold wrapped pearl hairpins, short hairpins with gold flower heads and rice beads, etc.
Another example is gold earrings, including gold earrings inlaid with turquoise, gold rings with diamonds, gold wire twisted hoop earrings, conical spring-type gold earrings, spherical hollow gem-studded gold earrings, vase lotus and mandarin duck gold earrings, ancient vase flower gold earrings, gold filigree inlaid with jade butterfly chasing plum blossoms earrings, gold and jade gourd-shaped earrings, hook pavilion gold earrings, etc.
For example, there are gold bracelets, including four-dragon double-sheath gold bracelets, peacock flower pattern gold bracelets, linked bead pattern gold bracelets, gemstone inlaid gold bracelets, hollow flower pattern gold bracelets, push-pull gold bracelets, head-entwined branch gold bracelets, double dragon pearl bracelets, gold-inlaid jade soft bracelets, fortune, longevity and colorful jade gold bracelets, etc.
Not to mention Queen Du, even Emperor Zhao of Zhou was moved.
Queen Du ordered the four living dead to empty the gold jewellery from the gold box and replace it with pieces of gold, filling it up.
After an incense stick of time, the eight golden boxes were filled with gold and were heavy.
After much deliberation, Queen Du decided to call two zombies to try to turn back and move a box of gold.
"Queen Du, don't let them die." Zhu Huaizhen sighed softly.
"Princess Ronghua, do you have a better idea?" Queen Du smiled gently, but her eyes were cold.
In front of gold, Queen Du did not need to act like a noble lady.
If it weren't for the need to keep two zombies to check and balance Lou Li, Queen Du would have wanted to use all four zombies.
"Why not just pick some gold jewelry to take home." Zhu Huaizhen weighed a red gold filigree inlaid with rubies and a five-phoenix rising sun hairpin with beads. It was thicker than the ones made in jewelry stores outside, so it must be made of pure gold. Wearing it for too long would probably give you a headache.
In other words, these gold jewelry are part of the treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
