Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 43 Wei Ningshu

No matter how you look at it, this eight-treasure glazed mirror is very beautiful, with a simple and unique shape, and the gems inlaid on it are many but not miscellaneous, especially the phoenix on the back, which is carved lifelike.

It is not impossible for decades-old craftsmen to make such treasures.

Ji Xiuxiu was facing the crowd, but she kept paying attention to Xie Zhiyun from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that she also opened her eyes slightly, with a look of surprise on her face, she felt more and more proud.

Being able to surprise this high and mighty young lady shows how rare this treasure is.

Ji Xiuxiu cleared her throat: "If everyone likes it, you can come and have a look, after all rare treasures are not easy to come by."

Following her words, the most curious Wei Ning'an immediately stepped forward, carefully looking left and right on the glazed mirror.

Wei Ningshu was afraid that she would damage the treasure carelessly, so she hurriedly stepped forward to follow her, and only occasionally went to look at the beautiful glass mirror.

Seeing that Yu Hanzhao had been sitting still, Xie Zhiyun nodded to Ji Xiuxiu and said to Yu Hanzhao, "Second sister-in-law, let's take a look together."

While speaking, everyone came to the glazed mirror.

Just as the square table turned around, the phoenix soaring was in sight. Xie Zhiyun lowered his eyes and stared, but saw that the tail feathers of the phoenix seemed to be carved differently.

Not only that, but there were no phoenix feathers on the phoenix's head, but a clump of flame-like spiritual light.

On closer inspection, the weirdness is heavier.

It is called a phoenix because no other bird can be found to match it, but if it is a phoenix, it is not quite the same as the phoenix seen in ordinary times.

Xie Zhiyun didn't bring it up on the spot, but just kept it in his heart and chatted with Ji Xiuxiu casually.

"I don't know who Uncle Ji bought this treasure from. It doesn't look like an old thing from the pre-Qin period or the later Zhou Dynasty."

This kind of glazed mirror did not flourish in North Vietnam, or in other words, glazed crafts did not rise in Yuezhou. This craft was firmly in the hands of Daqi and Beiliang people.

Xie Zhiyun would ask such a question, and one could tell that she understood these joints as soon as she heard it.

Ji Xiuxiu has dealt with these precious treasures all the year round, although she looks like a philistine, she is actually an expert.

She can tell at a glance whether these things are worth money or not, whether they are old items or not.

Ji Xiuxiu glanced at Xie Zhiyun quite unexpectedly, and said after a while: "My father bought it from a traveling merchant. If you can't make a move, my father has the strength to eat this treasure."

Xie Zhiyun didn't ask how much it was, she just looked at the glass mirror and started talking with Ji Xiuxiu.

"How old do you think this glazed mirror is?"

It is rare for Ji Xiuxiu to chat with Xie Zhijun in a calm and calm manner. Somehow, listening to her flat tone, she no longer has the desire to compare.

She thought about it seriously, and said, "I think it will take three to fifty years."

She pointed to the gemstones on the side: "Look here, the gemstones are actually a little faded, and the inlaid grooves are a little loose. There are obvious traces of repairs here, which were repaired later."

Xie Zhiyun nodded, and pointed to the scratches on the glazed mirror and said: "There are traces of use here, and it is indeed quite old, but it is still intact so far, it can really be called a famous product handed down from generation to generation."

Xie Zhiyun sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations, you have obtained such a treasure, you must carefully collect it."

Ji Xiuxiu was slightly taken aback.

After a short while, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, it's rare to see you pleasing to the eye today."

Xie Zhiyun smiled faintly, too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

Several people looked at the treasure for a while, and then returned to their seats. Ji Xiuxiu had hosted a banquet when he was at Ji's house, so there was no silence at this time.

She smiled and said: "Today, we have prepared Daqi's unique snowmelt tea and various refreshments. Wouldn't it be nice for us to go to the yard to enjoy the scenery and have tea together?"

However, she has always been difficult to deal with everyone in the Wei family, so after saying this, everyone, look at me and I will look at you, even Wei Ning'an didn't respond immediately.

Yu Hanzhao unconsciously looked at Xie Zhijun, Xie Zhijun stood up and said with a smile, "That's great, I haven't seen Qiu Shixuan's garden before, it must be very beautiful."

This afternoon was spent among the people tasting tea in a friendly manner. When they came out of Qiu Shixuan, Wei Ning'an ran away in a flash, but Wei Ningshu hesitated for a moment, and did not follow Wei Ning'an immediately.

Xie Zhiyun saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he said to Yu Hanzhao: "Second sister-in-law, you go back first, and I will find you to talk when I have time."

Naturally, Yu Hanzhao couldn't understand Wei Ningshu's eyes, but she didn't think it was wrong, she nodded to the two of them directly, and then walked away quickly.

Wei Ningshu froze for a moment, seeing Xie Zhijun looking at her and smiling.

"Sister Shu, let's talk here."

The two of them strolled along the garden path, surrounded by bushes that were gradually turning green and evergreens that were evergreen all year round.

Xie Zhijun walked quietly with Wei Ningshu for a while, and then said quietly: "If sister Shu has something to do, just tell me directly. If I can't do it, the little father-in-law can do it too."

Wei Ningshu's eyes were a little surprised, but after a while, she retracted her hands and face again.

She was always so timid and inferior, as if she didn't dare to walk in front of people and walk under the sun.

Xie Zhiyun doesn't know her past story, so she never speaks out to comfort and encourage her. If she doesn't know the reason, it's not easy to persuade her indiscriminately.

Wei Ningshu thought for a while, but still said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, can you help me tell my mother that I don't want to get married."

Xie Zhiyun was a little surprised: "Shall I talk to my mother for you?"

Speaking of which, Xie Zhiyun was the last person to come to Wei's. As a newlywed, she always felt unsafe to help her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law.

Xie Zhijun was surprised, but he didn't refute immediately.

Wei Ningshu, who was shivering, mustered up the courage to look for her, which showed that this matter troubled her more than looking for her.

She can't be beaten to death with a stick.

Xie Zhijun thought for a while, the smile on his face remained the same, still warm: "Can I ask, why did you ask me to make peace with my mother?"

She didn't ask why, but Wei Ningshu heaved a sigh of relief.

Xie Zhiyun could see the relieved expression on her face, and couldn't help but smiled softly: "We are sisters-in-law, we are a family, you can talk to me about anything, there is no need to be so formal."

Wei Ningshu smiled shyly, and there were two small dimples on her delicate face.

She is the most ordinary, silent, and ordinary person in this family, but she is also the quietest, gentle, and lovely person in this family.

She plucked up her courage and said to Xie Zhijun: "Mother likes you very much and has high hopes for you. You are different from us."

Wei Ningshu thought for a while, and continued: "If I say it, my mother will be sad, but my eldest sister-in-law is smart, you must know how to say it."

"I don't know who to ask, I can only ask my sister-in-law."

"OK?"
