Chapter 181 Agarwood Jewelry Box

On the stall in front of them, there are mainly jewelry boxes and other objects, of various styles and materials, and there are quite a few of them, covering several square meters of cloth.

Yang Ruolan is interested in the objects used by these women, which is why they stay here.

"Can I take a look?" Yang Ruolan pointed to a wooden jewelry box and said to the stall owner.

Wooden or metal objects are not easy to break like porcelain, jade, and paper, and all the objects on this stall are not perishable. Although the stall owner can tell at a glance that they are not professional People, but looking at their clothes, they are not afraid of being damaged by them, and they can't afford compensation, so they nodded readily: "Whatever you fancy, take it yourself."

Yang Ruolan saw that the stall owner agreed, so she reached out and took the jewelry box in her hand, and looked at it carefully.Although Xu Ziling didn't know whether it was an antique or not, he was quite interested, so he leaned his head and looked at it with Yang Ruolan.

The jewelry box is about [-] centimeters long, [-] centimeters high, and [-] centimeters wide. The box is red in color, with a few peony flowers painted on it. From the outside, it seems that an unknown amount of time has passed. The paint on the box has faded a little, making it hard to tell what kind of flower it is.

There is a small door on the front. When you open the small door, there are three small drawers inside. There is a small handle on the top of the box. The overall appearance is simple.Although the paint on the surface of the box is a little damaged, the whole box still looks good.

Of course, this conclusion is based on the premise that the object is real, not a modern imitation.

"Lion, look, is this an antique or a modern thing?" It was impossible to rely on Xu Ziling to identify it, so he asked the lion directly.

"Ordinary wood, probably from last year." The lion quickly gave the answer.

Sure enough, after walking through several stalls ahead, Xu Ziling asked the lion to scan the entire stall. There were hundreds of items in several stalls, large and small. Except for a few copper coins, none of them were found to be older. s things.

As for the jewelry box in Yang Ruolan's hand, Xu Ziling had no idea that it would be something of a certain age, and now that he heard the lion's conclusion, he was not disappointed either.

"Ziling, what do you think of this? Does it look like a good thing?" Yang Ruolan liked it more and more, and whispered in Xu Ziling's ear.

Although Yang Ruolan said in a low voice, seeing how happy she was, she almost didn't write the word "like" on her face, and the stall owner had been paying attention to the two of them, seeing Yang Ruolan like that made her feel happy , thinking that as long as she asks the price later, she must offer an "appropriate" price.

With Xu Ziling around, why couldn't he notice the stall owner?Although the excited expression on her face disappeared, it couldn't be hidden from Xu Ziling's eyes.

"Fake! You also know that I specialize in materials. When I saw this thing, it was fake. The paint on it is new, but I don't know how to make it into the touch of this old thing. So." Looking away from the stall owner, Xu Ziling whispered in Yang Ruolan's ear.

"Ah, it's fake. But this thing is quite beautiful." Yang Ruolan heard that this thing is not an antique, the smile on her pretty face disappeared immediately, and she said regretfully.

"If you like it, then buy it back, as long as you like it."

"Let me take a look." Yang Ruolan put down the things and looked at other things.

The stall owner watched Yang Ruolan say a few words to Xu Ziling, then put the things down, thinking that Xu Ziling must have discovered the problem with the box. She didn't expect how she could see the problem even though she didn't look like an insider.

"Lion, scan the other things on this booth as well." Although the chances of encountering old things are slim, there is always a chance if you scan it. If you don't scan it, you have no chance at all.

The lion is also becoming more and more humane. After learning about "picking up leaks", he became as interested as Yang Ruolan. Hearing that Xu Ziling asked him to scan, he immediately responded, "Okay."

"Hey... this thing is a bit strange," the lion soon heard a surprised voice.

"what happened?"

"Look, what is this thing?" The lion transmitted the image of a jewelry box on the street stall to Xu Ziling's mind.

The box is about the same size as the jewelry box that Yang Ruolan got before, only a little shorter by two centimeters, and the shape is similar, but the color of the box is different from that one, it is dark red, and the surface is also carved with dragons and painted phoenixes. The previous one looked much more luxurious.

"Why is it wrong?" Xu Ziling couldn't see anything wrong at all.

"It can't be seen from the outside." Lion scanned the box as a whole, and the image in his mind became translucent, "Look again."

"Huh? What is this? There is a layer of something on the surface of the box?" Judging from the image, it can be seen that the surface of the box is covered with a layer of something about five millimeters in size. There is a clear difference between the two layers of material.

"Judging from the age, this layer has been around for hundreds of years, but I don't know what's inside. I'll look it up on the Internet, wait a minute." Lions are not know-it-alls, they don't know everything. He can only search for things he knows.

Yang Ruolan still squatted in front of the stall looking at those objects with great interest, and gave Xu Ziling time to communicate with the lion.

"Found it." Soon the lion said excitedly, "I missed it, I missed it, we really missed it this time."

"..." Xu Ziling really didn't expect the lion to be so enthusiastic about this, but he also became interested when he heard his excited tone, "What is this? Tell me quickly."

"This thing is agarwood, but it is covered with a special layer of resin, which makes it look like sandalwood. If it weren't for me, if no one opened the thing, it probably would never be discovered. of."

"And here is the most expensive Qinan in the agarwood, which is a good thing with a price but no market."

"Are you right? This thing is still something with a price but no market? Then we really missed it?" Although Xu Ziling didn't know Qinan, he also knew about Chen Xiang.

It should be said that agarwood is a kind of wood, but it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine and spice. In ancient times, high-ranking officials, nobles and emperors all liked to use precious agarwood to make ornaments, wear them on their bodies, or use them to carve them into ornaments. demonstrate their status.
