A treasure-appraisal maniac

Inside the inconspicuous little box was a big surprise, which made Lu Fei full of expectations for the big box.

Place the box on the lid and use pliers to break it open directly.

"Too!"

There was a crisp sound, and the golden lock broke.

When the lid was opened, Chen Xiang exclaimed.

"Wow!"

"so beautiful!"

"Lu Fei, what is this?"

Lu Fei's eyes were also filled with excitement when he saw the objects inside.

"This is the Golden Crown."

"Open the door wide and see the golden crown of tomorrow."

This golden crown is five centimeters high, thirteen centimeters wide, and the hairpin is eleven centimeters long.

The body of this crown is like an oval-shaped alms bowl with buttons.

The crown consists of four parts: ring, cover, eaves and tongue. The whole body is welded with leaf-shaped gold wire.

The base of the crown is surrounded by a gold circle to form an oval, decorated with hollow gold filigree patterns, and the circle is covered with an oval crown.

At the center line are two arched horizontal ribs, inlaid with sapphires and three cat's-eye rubies, for a total of nine gems.

Each one is about the size of your little finger.

In addition, there are nine longitudinal ribs evenly distributed, which together with the transverse ribs form the bracket of the crown.

There are eaves on the front, back, left and right of the crown ring. The back eaves are connected to two tongues. The eaves, eaves corners, tongue surfaces and tongue corners are all inlaid with gems.

There are small holes on the left and right bottoms of the horizontal ribs of the crown, and a gold hairpin is inserted into each hole to fix the hair.

The hairpin is umbrella-shaped and carved with patterns.

The handle of the hairpin is embossed with the words "Yin Zuo Bureau made five gold coins in October of the 26th year of Jiajing".

There is also a hairpin hole in the middle of the front end of the crown.

This gold crown is exquisite, with fifty-five gemstones of various colors symmetrically inlaid on it, complementing each other. The gold wire is as thin as hair and is intricately braided.

The overall shape is extremely beautiful.

"The Ming Dynasty's goldware is unparalleled in the world."

"This is a female gold crown made by a silver craftsmanship bureau. It should be one of the burial items."

"Even if you want to be so luxurious, you can't find anything comparable to it in any of the major museums in China."

Discussed. " Lu Fei said.

"Lu Fei, why do you seem unhappy after getting such a good thing?"

Seeing this golden crown, Lu Fei was extremely excited at first.

But after looking at it, Lu Fei frowned.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just don't understand it!" Lu Fei said.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiang asked.

Lighting a cigarette, Lu Fei said.

"It's really strange to find these things today."

"How to say?"

"The iron bars found at the cellar entrance are steel imported from Britain in the late Qing Dynasty."

"But in Zhongzhou, the hometown of Henan Opera, the cellars store suitcases and various musical instruments from Peking Opera."

"And these two objects."

"Incense balls from the Tang Dynasty, golden crowns from the Ming Dynasty."

"Contact Peking Opera costumes and iron bars from the late Qing Dynasty."

"It's such a big span, I always feel like something is wrong."

Chen Xiang thought for a moment and said.

"Lu Fei, are you too nervous?"

“Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, and it is true that Zhongzhou is the hometown of Henan Opera, but there must also be fans of Peking Opera.”

"Maybe, Bianliang has its own Peking Opera troupe."

"That cellar may be the warehouse where the troupe stores their belongings."

"As for the span of these objects, they may be the personal collection of the troupe leader."

In fact, Chen Xiang didn't know, but Lu Fei still had another dilemma, and that was the remains of six Japanese soldiers.

Counting these six corpses, it becomes even more incredible.

However, Lu Fei had no intention of telling Chen Xiang about the corpse.

Looking at Chen Xiang, Lu Fei nodded slightly.

"You have a point."

"Let's continue."

There is only one box left, so there is no need to choose.

When I came to the side and opened the cover directly, what I saw was still the shabby outfit.

Under the tattered outfit, there is a gray cloth bag.

But the cloth bag was already in bad condition, and it fell into pieces at the slightest tug.

The cloth bag was broken, and a square wooden board inside caught Lu Fei's eyes.

He took out the wooden board with both hands and saw that it turned out to be a play card.

The play cards are made of willow wood, with a side length of thirty-five centimeters and a thickness of less than one centimeter.

The so-called opera card is actually a wooden board with various music pieces engraved on it.

The origin of play cards began in the Republic of China.

At that time, opera and cross talk were almost the only two leisure and entertainment projects, and they were quite popular at that time.

And the theaters of that period were the perfect place to show off.

For example, if "Catch and Release" is being performed on stage, and a rich man comes and doesn't like the play, he can directly pay the troupe to change the play.

The opera cards are objects specially used for ordering operas, and their properties are similar to the current menus.

The edges and corners of this child's play card are polished smooth and shiny, and the patina is quite thick.

In the center of the top are engraved three words "Changjiaban" in traditional Chinese regular script.

Engraved vertically underneath is the name of the play.

There are a total of twelve major plays, including "Silang Visits His Mother", "The Case of Guillotine Beauty", "Wenzhao Pass", "Wild Boar Forest", "Flower Carriage", etc., most of which are martial arts dramas.

Although the play cards were of little value, they gave Lu Fei some clues.

Lu Fei is worried about the source of these things!

With this child's play card, it is clear that these outfits and all items should 100% belong to this Chang family class.

With the clues in hand, Lu Fei became confused again.

It stands to reason that if you can afford imported iron bars, some can afford it.

The huqin in the middle and the imported iron bars are also there. This troupe should be quite capable.

Because in my mind, I really don't have any information about the Chang family class.

Also, who killed those six island country soldiers?

Why the corpses were placed together with these suitcases puzzled Lu Fei.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't have any clue, so I just stopped thinking about it for the time being.

After the three boxes were cleaned, there was still the last rectangular rosewood box left, which was the box that Lu Fei fished out of the smelly water with all his efforts.

Lu Fei came to the box, but Chen Xiang retreated far away in disgust.

This box had been soaked in sewage for an unknown number of years, and the stench had penetrated into the wood texture.

Although Lu Fei soaked it in bath water for a while, it had little effect.

Now that the water stains on the surface are drying, the taste is even more unique.

It tastes just like the dried stinky tofu juice.

Not to mention Chen Xiang, even Lu Fei was quite resistant to this taste.

For it, Lu Fei put on a mask again and also put on a pair of rubber gloves.

This is the first time in the history of tattered flying objects.

After being armed, Lu Fei came to the side and gently opened the box.

Wow

The box was opened, and a stream of black and yellow sewage flowed out. Lu Fei frowned, and Chen Xiang covered her nose and ran away.

He felt extremely disgusted, but when the flashlight shone into the box, Lu Fei suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Bah!

Lu Fei's arms couldn't help but tremble, and the flashlight fell to the ground.

He stood there stunned for half a minute.

After reacting, Lu Fei took off his gloves and threw them far away, and pulled off the two layers of masks.

Maoyao picked up the flashlight, and Lu Fei gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fuck!"
