Chapter 317 Calligraphy, Painting, Jewelry, Gold and Silver
These large wooden boxes all have brass nose locks on which are hung large brass locks.It's just that these nose locks and copper locks are covered with green copper rust. Yang Jing just exerted a little force, and the nose locks broke directly.

These wooden boxes have been placed here for at least 400 years. It would be strange if the exposed lock nose locks were not rusted.In this environment, these metal products are not as resistant to decay as gloomy wood.

Yang Jing opened the lid of the box, only to find that the box was actually made of dark wood nearly an inch thick, that is, about three centimeters thick. The weight of this box alone is estimated to be three to four hundred catties.Jinsinnan gloomy wood is very heavy and sinks when it enters the water.

This box is indeed made of Jinshen gloomy wood, the inside is the same as the outside, there is no trace of decay.In the original time and space, the price of golden nan gloomy wood has plummeted a lot, but this kind of wood is really rare. Even if such a good board is not sold, it is a must for making furniture, and its value will definitely exceed Those mahogany furniture.

After opening the box, what caught Yang Jing's eyes was a layer of light yellow tung oil paper, which was tied with hemp ropes, but those hemp ropes were rotten and broken long ago, but these oil papers were not bad, so there was nothing wrong with them. Something rotten.

Gently peeling off this layer of oiled paper, Yang Jing found that there was a layer of tung oiled paper underneath.After uncovering three layers of tung oil paper, a layer of bright yellow silk was revealed. This bright yellow also shocked Yang Jing.In China's feudal society, only the royal family could use this color.Obviously, the things contained in these wooden boxes are definitely from the royal family, otherwise, except for those rebels, no one would dare to use this color of silk.

Perhaps because of the protection of the three layers of tung oil paper on the outside, this layer of bright yellow silk has no signs of decay, which makes Yang Jing secretly happy. If these silks can be preserved, then the things inside will naturally be intact preserved without loss.

There is only one layer of silk, and after gently peeling it off, the items inside are completely exposed.

There are scrolls inside, Yang Jing casually picked up a pair of scrolls, opened them carefully, and looked at the inscriptions, Yang Jing's heart was agitated.

This turned out to be "Youlan Tu" by Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, one of the three talented scholars of the Ming Dynasty.Yang Jing only saw this painting mentioned in a certain historical record, but he never heard that this painting was handed down.

Now, this painting actually appeared in front of him, how could this not make Yang Jing extremely excited?This is Xu Wei's painting, its value is hard to estimate!
This painting is well preserved, not only has Xu Wei's own inscriptions and postscripts on it, but also many appreciation and collection seals.

Yang Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart, gently put the painting away, and threw it directly into the space.Under such circumstances, it is best not to expose this precious painting to the air for a long time. The ghost knows what kind of reaction it will have when it comes into contact with the outside air for such a long time.

Although it seemed that there were no bad changes just now, Yang Jing didn't dare to take the risk, and it was the safest way to put the painting directly into the space.

Then I grabbed another scroll and opened it gently. It turned out that it was still Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang's work, but it was not a painting, but a character, which was written in the famous "Red Cliff Fu" by Su Dongpo. ".

This piece of calligraphy is written in cursive, the whole text is chic and generous, like a flying dragon in the sky, and like an antelope hanging horns, even a person like Yang Jing who doesn't know much about cursive will feel very comfortable after reading it.

Xu Wei Xu everyone is best at cursive, isn't it?
Just one painting and one character made Yang Jing's heart skip a beat, not to mention that there are more scrolls in this box.

Just for these two works, Yang Jing knew that the boxes contained probably some priceless calligraphy and paintings, so he didn't bother to observe carefully, and put all these scrolls into the storage space.

After putting all these scrolls into the storage space, Yang Jing was relieved a lot.He sat down on the wooden box, and then began to take out the scrolls one by one.

Opening a scroll, Yang Jing's heart trembled involuntarily.

"This handwriting turned out to be Xie Jin's "Ode to the River", and it was wild grass."

"God, this piece of writing is also the lower case "Book of the Song Dynasty" by the scholar Xie Jin. Just knowing that the scholar Xie Jin left the ink "Book of the Tang Dynasty", I never thought that this talented scholar would actually write it. Song people's words. This is really amazing, amazing!"

"Hey, this is Tang Bohu's "Pines on Lushan Mountain". The size of this painting seems to be bigger than that "Waterfall on Lushan Mountain" which sold for 5.9 million US dollars. If you take it back, tsk tsk."

"This inkstain is also Tang Bohu's. Let me see, God, it is Tang Bohu's own poem "Sighing the World". He wrote the poem himself. This inkstain is also a priceless treasure!"

"This painting is Dong Qichang's landscape painting"

"This painting is Wen Zhengming's Ao Meitu."

"It's still Wen Zhengming's ink."

"This is an ink mark in Yang Shen's "Sheng'an Long and Short Sentences"."

"Oh, this is Dong Qichang's "Journey to Yanshan"?"

"Is this Ni Zan's "Ink Bamboo Picture"?"

Every time Yang Jing took out a scroll from the space, his little heart couldn't help but tremble twice, and he got used to the trembling.

These paintings and ink marks are almost all the works of famous calligraphers and painters of the Ming Dynasty, many of which are only in the records, and some have never even appeared in the records.But these paintings are all authentic, whether it is the calligraphy and painting itself, or the collection seals on the calligraphy and painting, it is enough to prove the identity of these calligraphy and painting.

There are 48 calligraphy and paintings in this box alone. If they are taken back, they will definitely shock the whole of China.

This box of calligraphy and painting directly shocked Yang Jing so much that he didn't want it anymore.In contrast, the thirteen famous paintings he got from the American warehouse auction a few days ago were far from it.Among other things, if Tang Bohu's "Pines on Lushan Mountain" were to go up for auction, the price would probably be worth half of the value of those thirteen famous paintings.
This is just a collection in one box, and there are a full one, two, three, and a full 23 such boxes. Although some boxes are much smaller, there are also ten boxes that are much larger than this box.
Taking out a cigarette from the space, Yang Jing lit it tremblingly, took a deep breath, and severely suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Yang Jing felt that if he didn't calm down now, he might have a heart attack stimulated by the things in front of him.

After smoking a cigarette, Yang Jin calmed down a lot, stood up, and walked towards the other end.

Pulling off the lock and nose lock, and opening the lid of the box, the contents inside irritated Yang Jing again.

The inside of this box is not calligraphy and painting, nor other antiques, but a box full of gold ingots
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, the golden ingots exude a dazzling light, and this kind of light is precisely the most touching.

This box is about half smaller than the box just now, that is to say, it is about half a cubic meter. In addition, it is a gold ingot, so the actual volume should be less than half a cubic meter. Yang Jing estimated that the gold ingot in this box is about the same. There should be about six tons. Based on the calculation that one ton of gold is about 500 million U.S. dollars, this box of gold is worth about 2.1 million U.S. dollars.

This box of gold is definitely not as valuable as that box of calligraphy and painting, but the visual effect of this thing far surpasses anything else.Most people in this world may not understand those calligraphy and paintings, but it is estimated that no one understands these gold!Even a fool would probably like this thing!

Yang Jing opened several boxes that were about the same size as the box containing the gold ingots, but there were no more gold, calligraphy and paintings in these boxes, but some big silver ingots.There are a total of ten wooden boxes containing silver ingots. Adding this box containing gold, there are eleven boxes missing all of a sudden.

There are a total of 24 boxes here, and almost half of them were lost at once.But this also made Yang Jing full of expectations for the remaining boxes.

Yang Jing opened two more boxes, and it turned out that the two boxes were full of jewels. Among them, Yang Jing also saw two phoenix crowns, one with the specification of "twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns", and the other with "Nine dragons and nine phoenix crowns", one can tell at a glance that it is the phoenix crown worn by the queen.

Four phoenix crowns have been unearthed in Dingling, one of the Ming Tombs in Yanjing. The highest-specified phoenix crown is the "Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns", which is the phoenix crown worn by the empress Xiaojing of Ming Shenzong.

And the two phoenix crowns in front of me are obviously only phoenix crowns that queens can wear, but I don't know if they belong to Zhu Youlang's daughter-in-law, Queen Wang, or someone else.

In addition to the two phoenix crowns, there are many pearls and precious stones in the two boxes, but those pearls have lost their luster due to age.As the saying goes, "people are old and their pearls are yellow", that's what they mean.No matter how well-maintained natural pearls are, they have a shelf life of five to sixty years at most. After this period, pearls are finished.
It's just a pity that these precious big pearls are all scrapped.

But the gems in these two boxes made Yang Jing excited for a while.Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, Hetian jade, Dushan jade, there are many in these two boxes, and the ones returned to his sister are all top quality.

Nonsense, can the things used by the emperor be worse?

And after Yang Jing opened the box again, it was full of these gems.

The value of the various gems in these three boxes alone far exceeds that box of gold.

At this time, a problem that troubled Yang Jing also came up.After putting the three big boxes into the space, Yang Jing found that there was not enough space.This is the result of the eleven boxes containing gold and silver not being put in. There are only four boxes in the space, and there is no room left.
Yang Jing looked at the glass-type jadeites in the space. About half of these jadeites, that is, a hundred or so pieces, have not absorbed the natural treasures in them. In addition to these three boxes of gemstones, Yang Jing gritted his teeth and decided to Upgrade storage space.

Anyway, it has been more than a month since the last time I upgraded the "Restricted Time Travel", there is no time limit, and now I have so many gems and emeralds, why not upgrade?

Just do it, Yang Jing directly returned to the new house in the original time and space.Skill upgrades are the same as opening skills, they need to be carried out in the original time and space.

PS: Bow and thank you for the 100 tip of 'Iced Octave'.
