Chapter 136 Sister Lan, the Real Ancestor of the Xiang Family [2 More]
When Ye Wanlan stopped like this, Professor Fu naturally stopped too.
"What's wrong with this?" Xiang Lefeng was a little confused, "Isn't this just a piece of jade? It looks like discarded jade, otherwise it wouldn't appear here."
The several major mineral veins in Wanta Country are also firmly controlled by several major families in the country.
The goods are screened in batches, and the jade materials in the hands of small vendors are the worst.
There are people who pick up leaks, but they are very rare. There have also been cases where people who pick up leaks failed to leave the jade market smoothly.
"Look carefully." Yan Tingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was warm and cool, "Look at the shape of this jade piece, what does it look like?"
Xiang Lefeng was startled, and also bent down, really listened to his words and looked at the jade piece carefully again.
The jade piece was stained with blood, but there were indeed small patterns.
These small patterns formed a traditional Chinese character "Ning". If you don't know Shenzhou fonts, you can't recognize it at all.
Ning...
Suddenly, Xiang Lefeng's mind seemed to be struck by lightning, and he lost his voice: "This is gold--"
He hurriedly covered his mouth and did not say the last three words.
Professor Xue and Professor Fu looked at each other, their expressions were extremely solemn, and they obviously recognized the source of the jade piece in Ye Wanlan's hand.
The gold thread jade suit was a burial object for ancient kings and nobles. The jade pieces were connected with gold threads, and the appearance was like armor.
There is a complete gold thread jade suit in the Yunjing Museum.
But the jade piece that Ye Wanlan held--
It was the gold thread jade suit of Princess Jing'an, a regent in the late Ning Dynasty!
According to historical records, this gold thread jade suit used 1,600 grams of gold thread to connect 2,878 jade pieces of different sizes together.
The manpower consumed by this gold thread jade suit alone is very amazing. It took 300 craftsmen three and a half years to complete it. It is the national treasure of the Ning Dynasty and the pinnacle of art in China.
Four years after Princess Yongning passed away, Emperor Ning Zhaozong also died of excessive grief, and the ten-year-old Emperor Yongshun ascended the throne.
Sifang Wangjue was fighting outside to guard the border of Shenzhou, so Ning Zhaozong's youngest sister Princess Jing'an became the regent to assist Emperor Yongshun in managing state affairs.
This golden jade suit was also given to her by Ning Zhaozong, so that she was qualified to use it when she was buried.
However, three hundred years ago, foreign troops passed through the border, Fengyuan fell, and the nine armies were all killed in the battle. At the last moment, no one could fight the enemy.
At this time, the 37-year-old Princess Jing'an took up her gun and mounted her horse again to protect the young Emperor Yongshun and Princess Yongle.
But how could she defeat the foreign troops who killed the four-sided king?
A generation of Tianjiao and beauty fell, and her body was torn into pieces by five horses, and her body was gone.
And this golden jade suit, which was originally her burial object, was also destroyed by later plunderers in the process of looting treasures.
Over the years, the Cultural Relics Bureau has also collected a lot of pieces, but they have not been able to string them together into a complete piece of gold thread jade clothing.
Ning Dynasty was originally a dynasty in the most recent modern times, but because it was destroyed too thoroughly, there is only a small exhibition hall in the museum.
This is the indelible regret and remorse of Shenzhou.
Xiang Lefeng took a breath, and his eyes changed instantly when he looked at Ye Wanlan.
Although the Ning Dynasty royal family was destroyed, the bloodline of the Xiang royal family has never been cut off.
There are many royal secrets, and only the direct descendants of each generation of their Xiang family will know.
Even he did not see the mystery of this jade piece at the first time, how could Ye Wanlan see it at a glance?
Is this really just a perverted archaeological talent?
From beginning to end, Ye Wanlan's expression was very calm. She picked up the jade piece and put it down again. Instead, she found a few pieces of jadeite that could be made into bracelets and began to bargain with the stall owner.
What shocked Professor Xue and Professor Fu was that she did not speak English, but the native Wanta language of Wanta Country.
Professor Fu asked tremblingly: "Does Wanlan know the language of Wanta Country?"
"I don't know either!" Professor Xue was also confused.
"Tingfeng, I think something is wrong." Xiang Lefeng's nerves were tense, "How did she know that it was the jade piece on Princess Jing'an's golden jade dress? Not to mention me, even if the elder of our Xiang family came, it would be impossible to find it!"
The inquiry in Yan Tingfeng's eyes was clear and deep, and he chuckled: "That's because you can't do it."
"Absolutely not!" Xiang Lefeng retorted, "You don't know that our Xiang family is born with a superior sense and sensitivity to the things of the former royal family, otherwise how do you think my cousin collected so many gold silk armor fragments?"
"Oh?" Yan Tingfeng's lips were still smiling, but his eyes were extremely sharp, "You mean, she is from your Xiang family?"
"I didn't say that, I just think it's unscientific." Xiang Lefeng shrugged, "Don't you think so?"
Yan Tingfeng coughed twice and smiled slightly: "No."
He has lived for more than three hundred years, which is already very unscientific.
What else can be unscientific?
No matter how unscientific it is, he can accept it.
Xiang Lefeng: "..."
Finally, Ye Wanlan bought several pieces of jadeite and jade pieces at a price of 100,000.
"These are for you." Ye Wanlan handed the jadeite to Yan Tingfeng and said lightly, "It can be made into a few bracelets. According to the domestic market price, it can be sold for about 300,000."
Yan Tingfeng accepted them one by one, and his smile deepened: "Thank you, Miss Ye."
"Let's go to the front." Ye Wanlan put away the jade pieces, "The goods here are too low-grade and too few."
If she hadn't bought this piece of jade, she wouldn't have bought a few pieces of jade to cover up her tracks.
Professor Fu followed with an expressionless face: "You, your Wanlan knows about jade?"
Professor Xue: "..."
Don't ask him, he knows nothing!
"Miss Ye... Miss Ye!" Xiang Lefeng squeezed in front of Ye Wanlan with all his strength, "How much did you pay for that piece of jade? I can buy it at a hundred times the price!"
"Don't worry, it's useless even if you pay a thousand times, I won't sell it." Ye Wanlan's voice was faint.
Yan Tingfeng spoke, his voice was soft, but with a warning: "Xiang Lefeng."
"Okay..." Xiang Lefeng looked at her pocket reluctantly, and at the same time he was very regretful.
Alas, who made him not have that foresight?
But he must follow Ye Wanlan closely today and hold on to this thigh, maybe his collection will surpass his cousin in the future!
Ye Wanlan's eyelashes drooped, and his fingers gently stroked the jade piece, feeling the uneven veins under his fingers.
Aunt...
She whispered in her heart.
I still remember that when she and Hejia returned to the palace, it was Princess Jing'an who came out to greet them first.
Although she had just returned to the palace at that time, Emperor Ning Zhaozong had already chosen a title for her - Yongning.
It means eternal peace.
"Yongning, just like your brothers and sisters, call me aunt." Princess Jing'an held her in her arms, "If you suffer any grievances in the future, tell your aunt and I will take care of it for you."
The pattern on the jade piece of this gold thread jade dress was also painted by her own hands. She was naturally impressed and could recognize it at a glance.
Ye Wanlan clenched the jade piece tightly, and her heart couldn't stop trembling.
How come none of her relatives... left a complete body?
Being torn apart by five horses... Aunt, how painful it must be.
Hatred came like a storm at this moment, almost swallowing up the heart.
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, and at the same time, a voice came from above her head: "Miss Ye, watch the road."
Ye Wanlan suddenly came back to her senses. There was a huge stone in front of her, only an inch away from her.
"Sorry." She paused, "I was thinking about something, and I lost my composure."
"It's human nature, Miss Ye doesn't need to say sorry." Yan Tingfeng lowered his head slightly, stared into her eyes, and smiled suddenly, "Why don't you talk to me, Miss Ye, some things can be easily solved if they are said out."
Ye Wanlan's mood has recovered: "I'm thinking about how to negotiate prices with suppliers here."
"Well, it's not easy to get goods." Yan Tingfeng raised his eyes, "The five major families of Wanta Country have their own channels. This is their territory, so be careful."
As they were talking, several people had arrived at the core area of the jade market.
The guards here are much stricter than before, and mercenaries can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, almost all eyes are focused on Ye Wanlan.
Nothing else, there are almost no women with oriental faces here, and they are so young and beautiful.
"Oh, bad things have happened." Professor Xue lowered his voice, "Wanlan, you should wear a mask, it's too messy here."
Even his old bones were a little scared.
"Professor, don't worry." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "If someone really wants to do something to me, even if I wear a mask and a hat and wrap myself in a robe, it won't change their dirty thoughts."
"But, but..." When Professor Xue was about to say something, several mercenaries had already walked towards Ye Wanlan.
Seeing this, the ten-man team of the 723rd Bureau also became alert.
Wanta Country is a mixed bag, and there are many international criminals living here.
"Are you here to see the jade materials?" The captain of the mercenary actually spoke in Chinese and was very polite, "Which jade materials do you want to see? We can take you in."
Professor Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they are not here to cause trouble.
However, before he could completely relax, the mercenary captain reached out and grabbed Ye Wanlan's shoulder: "But we are going to take this lady away."
Women here are just goods, not worthy of going in to discuss business.
Sister Lan, continue to teach me how to be a good person!
See you tomorrow~~
