Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 111 Two Hairpins
Yang Yukun said, "Little Fifth Brother, do you want to continue shopping?"

"No more shopping."

Han Chunming waved his hand.

Yang Guangcheng picked out a few pieces of Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain, and he had already spent all the money in his pocket.

Going on shopping, he saw a wide range of old things and he had no money to buy them, so he just stopped shopping and stayed here with Yang Guangcheng to warm up, drink tea and chat.

Yang Yukun said, "Then Jingping and I will go for a walk. Eldest nephew, your aunt and I will go shopping in other shops first. After lunch, I will treat you to guests. Let's go to Quanjude for a restaurant."

Yang Guangcheng smiled and said, "Come on, Uncle Kun, Auntie, you two go slowly."

"Let's go, Jingping, take a walk around."

Xu Jingping said, "Sister Xiao Xing, do you want to go together?"

Meng Xiaoxing said, "Let's go, I will wait for you here with Brother Wu."

"Okay, Xiaokun, let's go."

"Put on your military coat and hat, it's cold outside."

"whee……."

After drinking tea in Jubao Pavilion for a while, Yang Yukun took Xu Jingping to other shops in Liulichang.

…………

"It's a nice little thing."

Yang Yukun held a small round object painted with white enamel in his hand.

This object is not big, less than four centimeters, it is a veritable small object.

"Xiao Kun, what is this?"

Looking at the things in Yang Yukun's hands, Xu Jingping was rather curious.

Although she is not keen on collecting old objects, but because of Yang Yukun, she has also seen many strange things that she has never seen before.

But this small object, she had never seen anything like it before, and she couldn't guess what it was used for.

"This is a water bottle."

"What is Shuicheng?"

"Shuicheng, also known as Shuicheng, is also called water bowl. It is a kind of stationery utensils. Everyone knows the four treasures of the study, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The Shuicheng is also known as the fifth treasure of the study. It is used to hold the water for grinding ink."

In addition to the familiar pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are also seals, printing boxes, water bowls, brush washers, pen holders, rulers, inkstone screens, ink cartridges and so on.

Because of their small size and elegance, these stationery can best reflect the aesthetic taste of literati.

Therefore, among all the antique handicrafts, they belong to the high-grade collections, and are called Wenwan in the collection circle.

Not only is it widely favored by collectors, but the investment value is also top-grade in the collection of the study.

The object in Yang Yukun's hand is a Nirvana white material painting enamel rope pattern consecrated Kui dragon pattern Xiaoshuicheng from the Yongzheng period.

Small and exquisite, she also has a very good appearance, and she has a special affinity with him.

In this shop, this small object is more like him.

As for the other objects, it has nothing to do with him.

After buying this small item, Yang Yukun took Xu Jingping to continue strolling along the street in other shops.

"Snuff bottles, so many?"

In a shop, Yang Yukun found a large box of snuff bottles.

These snuff bottles are all from the Qing Dynasty, with different ages and shapes. There are 2000 snuff bottles in total. The price is clearly marked and packaged for 67 yuan.

Yang Yukun didn't say a word, and directly paid for this large box of snuff bottles.

"Xiao Kun, why did you buy so many snuff bottles?"

Xu Jingping was puzzled why Yang Yukun bought so many snuff bottles back home.

"On average, it's only 67 yuan a piece. It's not expensive anyway. Buy it back and keep it. By the way, Jingping, do you want to pick a few?"

The snuff bottle is a small object with good collection value, and it is also quite visually enjoyable to display as a small ornament at home.

There are thirty pieces in such a big box, so he met them, and the price is not expensive and he can afford them, so he naturally wants to buy them back.

"I do not want."

Xu Jingping shook her head. She knew that the snuff bottle was used to hold snuff.

Snuff Snuff, as the name suggests, is smoking through the nose.

Hold it in your hand, and then take a sip with your nose, it's a pleasure.

These snuff bottles were bought by Yang Yukun at a high price, but she didn't want them.

"Let's go, let's go to the shop in front of us, and then go to the little five brothers and they will go to Quanjude for a restaurant."

Yang Yukun checked the time. After walking around for a while, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

Previously, Yang Yukun bought a round seal with a white jade imperial poem "The Emperor Taishang" in the 60th year of Qianlong's reign at a shop called Baoyuxuan.

I bought a Qianlong white jade Crane and Lu Tongchun pen holder, a Qing Dynasty imperial green jadeite bracelet, and a string of jadeite beads, rubies and diamond necklaces as gifts for Xu Jingping.

It's already here, so I just stopped by to see if there are any good-looking jade jewelry, and buy a few more for Xu Jingping.

"What a beautiful hairpin."

Xu Jingping looked at the two hairpins and sighed, these two hairpins are so beautiful.

"My daughter-in-law has a good eye. These two hairpins are really beautiful."

"Xiao Kun, what are you doing?"

"It's rare that you like it. I bought it and gave it to you."

As soon as he entered Baoyuxuan, Xu Jingping was attracted by two hairpins.

Yang Yukun took the two hairpins off the shelf. Even he thought the two hairpins were extremely beautiful.

His daughter-in-law has a good eye.

These two hairpins are objects from the Qing Dynasty.

A Qing Dynasty dot emerald pearl tourmaline flower hairpin.

The indigo-blue emerald feathers set off the red, green, yellow and pink flower pistils, and the bees and butterflies collecting honey at the top. The solidified dead things make people feel infinite vitality and vitality.

A gem-encrusted tourmaline hairpin from the Qing Dynasty.

The flower hairpin is made of gold-plated copper with dots of emerald, inlaid with tourmaline, pearl and emerald.

The three-dimensional hibiscus flower is made of tourmaline, and the stamen is made of fine millet beads.

The flowers and leaves are finely carved from thin slices of jadeite, the flower buds are carved from tourmaline, and the receptacle is made of dot jade.

A butterfly lands on a hibiscus flower, its wings are carved from thin slices of emerald and inlaid with pearls and tourmalines.

Xu Jingping didn't even look down on those old things he had before, and she didn't even want to give them to her. It was rare to have something that she liked at a glance, so she had to buy it for her.

"Xiaokun, forget it, it's too expensive, and I have short hair, I can't wear it after buying it, so don't waste your money."

These two hairpins are indeed very beautiful, Xu Jingping couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

But she didn't want to buy these two hairpins. She bought two hairpins for her neck-length short hair and didn't even wear them.

"It's okay, buy it back first, and wear it when you grow long hair later."

Yang Yukun asked people to wrap the two hairpins, buying things for his wife is not a waste of money.

Moreover, these two extremely exquisite hairpins are also two old objects, and their value will be immeasurable three to forty years after they are bought now.

"Daughter-in-law, take it."

Yang Yukun stuffed two boxes containing hairpins directly into Xu Jingping's hands.

"Thank you."

Xu Jingping put away the hairpin, feeling elated.

"Silly girl, thank you for telling me something, let's go and find Brother Wu and the others."

Yang Yukun patted Xu Jingping on the head with a smile, and took her to Jubao Pavilion to find Han Chunming and the others.

It was agreed that he would treat guests to a restaurant in Quanjude to eat roast duck, and it was already past twelve noon, so Han Chunming might think that he didn't want to treat guests and ran away if he couldn't come.

And after walking around for a while, he and Xu Jingping were also hungry, and their stomachs were growling.
