Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Chapter 113
Bai Zirui asked calmly: "Uncle Liu, is this stove..."

Landlord Liu looked at the Xuande burner in Bai Zirui's hand and said, "This incense burner is an old thing. It was passed down from my great-grandfather. It was my father's death day two days ago. I found this incense burner to pay homage to his old man. Incense my father.

Before I could put it away, I was spotted by you young man. You have a good eye. This incense burner is the famous Xuande burner, which was used by emperors in ancient times. "

Bai Zirui smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Liu, you really think I'm young and easy to deceive! This is a good Xuande stove, but it's an imitation from the period of the Republic of China. You can buy as much as you want at Panjiayuan and Liulichang."

Landlord Liu had a look of embarrassment on his face after listening to his words. He also didn't know anything about these things. He just heard a few words from his father and wanted to fool Bai Zirui, a young man, but unexpectedly he saw through it at a glance.

He said in a nasty voice, "Let's go inside and look at the bed!"

Bai Zirui gently put the Xuande stove back on the stool, but he was thinking about how to get this treasure without arousing the suspicion of Landlord Liu.

Bai Zirui and the other two followed Landlord Liu into his house. Landlord Liu said a little embarrassedly: "Young man, the house is a bit messy. It's not as clean and tidy as your city. I'm laughing at you."

Then he said to his wife: "Damn my child, there are guests at home, you go and make some tea to entertain them."

His wife had already heard about Bai Zirui's visit in the house just now, thinking that the family could live a good life, she nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, young man, take your time. After you see it, let's have a good talk over tea."

Landlord Liu's current house is not their former ancestral house, which was demolished in the 10-year storm. The house they live in now was built by them later, but the wood used for the new house is It is the old wood in their ancestral house, so in the TV series, Han Chunming bought their house because of their antique bed and the old wood.

Landlord Liu led Bai Zirui and two people to the east wing of their house, pointed to the antique bed, and said with some pride: "Look, this is the old furniture bed handed down by my ancestors. Things, and made of good wood." Liu Landlord knows nothing about antiques and can't say anything, but in his eyes, the things left by his ancestors must be good things.

Bai Zirui stood in front of the bed and looked at it. This bed was different from those magnificent beds with carved dragons and paintings. It was just a boxy and simple bed. Warm and soft, the cut surface is golden yellow, and the outer layer is a little lavender, with strong luster. It emits golden light under the light, but it is quiet and innocent, quiet and low-key.

Bai Zirui's heart was shocked when he saw these, he thought: "Could it be that this bed is made of nanmu? If it's true, then it will make a lot of money."

Golden nanmu is a precious wood unique to our country. Because of its characteristics of "not rotten for thousands of years and immortal for ten thousand years", golden nanmu was regarded by the ancients as the most ideal, precious and high-grade building material.

It has been used in royal palaces, mausoleums, gardens, altars and temples for a long time, so golden nanmu is also known as the "wood of emperors".Not only is it worth thousands of gold, but it has also been sought after by dignitaries of all dynasties.

Since the Han Dynasty, the ancients began to use a large number of golden nanmu.And the most commonly used one is as the coffin of the royal family, the golden nanmu that is collected by almost every emperor worthy of the name.

After the Qing Dynasty, golden nanmu became more and more rare. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong even stole the golden nanmu in the name of Xiuming Mausoleum, which shows the preciousness of golden nanmu.In the official history of the Qing Dynasty, one of the most important charges of Heshen's crime was "using golden nanmu without authorization".

Phoebe is an evergreen tree, most of which can grow to more than 30 meters, with straight trunks.Wild nanmu is mostly found in broad-leaved forests below 1500 meters above sea level, and is widely distributed in the middle latitudes of my country, such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Hubei and other places, where nanmu is distributed.

The climate in these places is warm and humid, neither the violent snowstorms in high latitude areas nor the scorching sun in tropical rainforest areas. The mild natural conditions have created the warm and peaceful woody characteristics of nanmu.Among Nanmu, the most precious, the highest value, and the most rare is the king of all trees --- "Golden Silk Nan".

There are a large number of crystals in golden nanmu, which is far more than ordinary nanmu, which makes the wood grain on the surface of the wood shiny and dazzling in the sun, just like golden threads emerging, and golden nanmu itself is elegant and fragrant, with a fine structure, difficult to deform and Cracked, is a very fine wood.

According to the records in "Museum Yaolan": "Jinsi Nan comes out of the Sichuan stream, the wood grain has gold threads, the material is fine, soft, and the color is yellowish brown and slightly green. Looking at it brightly, there are wavy wood grains, horizontal and vertical golden threads, and shimmering. cute."

Bai Zirui carefully identified the golden nanmu according to the method of identifying golden nanmu taught by Broken Hou. He stretched out his hand to touch the bed frame of this bed. The golden nanmu is mild in nature, not cool to the touch in winter, not hot in summer, and does not hurt the body. But other hardwood furniture does not have this excellent feature. It is winter in the north, and the bed frame is very warm to the touch, as delicate as touching the skin of a baby.

He bent down on the bed again and smelled it. Sure enough, there was a faint and elegant medicinal fragrance. There are many good prescriptions for Jinshen used as medicine in "Compendium of Materia Medica".This aroma can repel mosquitoes and insects.Modern experiments have also proved that golden nanmu can resist the erosion of wood decay fungus and termites.

After smelling the aroma, he stood up straight and took two steps back, looking at the bed, which was full of three-dimensional sense and clear.He walked back and forth in several directions, and under the illumination of the light, the texture, wave and light flow scene was unpredictable, and each angle was different, presenting a phantom effect of one scene at a time, and one scene at a time.

The texture of golden nanmu is smooth and not easy to deform. There is no cracking phenomenon on the bed, and it does not give people a hard feeling. After the whole bed is built, it has not been painted and waxed, and the temperament is simple and elegant.

Golden nanmu furniture pays attention to wood color, that is, it does not need to be painted or waxed, because after painting and waxing, the color of golden nanmu will turn black and lose its original color.

Bai Zirui was sure that the bed in Landlord Liu's house was made of nanmu, the king of all trees. According to the fragrance and the growth rings of the wood, it was determined to be an antique from the Ming Dynasty. No wonder Han Chunming, who was cited in the TV series, competed with the tattered Marquis.

After seeing the bed, Bai Zirui smiled and said to Landlord Liu, "Uncle Liu, I really like this bed in your house. Please offer me a price! I'll buy it if the price is right."

Landlord Liu had a look of reminiscence on his face, and said with emotion: "I slept on this bed when I was a child, and my father and grandfather also slept on it. Even our old man lived his whole life on this bed. Now my family I am so dilapidated that I have to sell the things left by my ancestors to survive, I am really ashamed of my ancestors."

Hearing what Landlord Liu said, Bai Zirui was rather dissatisfied with his family's experience in his tone, and even missed his family's past glory very much. Could it be that he still wants to continue to be a rich landlord?
