Qing Dynasty: Pampering The Queen

Neither of them touched the porcelain and jade wares, but took a dowry box and opened it.

There was a bit of the hairpin ring left, but at first glance it looked like an old-style nobile hairpin worth tens of taels of silver, and the gemstones inlaid with it were all broken, so it was worth nothing.

Such things can't be exchanged for a few dollars at a pawn shop.

Open another box, it is also worthless.

All of these added up, I'm afraid the value is only a thousand taels.

However, it is impossible for them to take all these jewelry away.

Yun Min's face was a little ugly, "I remember my mother had many beautiful things. In the past, Prince Li had given them a lot. Do you remember, nurse? There is a golden hairpin with a butterfly love flower. The flower is as big as my palm. The petals are as big as my palm. It is made of ruby, and there are emerald leaves beside it, and the flower stamens are decorated with gold threads and rice beads. There are also a pair of gourd-shaped emerald jade pendants, and gold silk lotus hairpins, and coral pearls. "

Nanny An sighed softly, her eyes also gloomy.

How can she not remember?

At the beginning, Princess Li was still the crown princess, and she had infinite scenery.

At that time, Prince Li won the family members of the Sacred Heart of Lord Kangxi, and Lord Kangxi himself was reluctant to use many of the good things that were tributed, but first ordered them to be sent to Yuqing Palace for the crown prince to enjoy.

The crown prince has some, so naturally the crown princess will not be bad either.

The relationship between the Crown Princess and the two younger sisters-in-law of her natal family is not bad, so there will always be rewards on New Year's Day.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, there will be one or two pieces of extremely precious jewelry every year. Or a hairpin ring, or a bracelet, or a jade pendant, never missing.

These are all extremely valuable good things, and there is nowhere to buy them with silver, but they are all gone now.

In this dowry, it is just an ordinary thing.

Even if it is slightly better, it is not worth the big money.

Unwilling to give up, the two of them looked through several other boxes, and found that two boxes were still made of silk and satin material for tailoring clothes. After so many years, they were probably too moldy and unusable. .

I don't know if it was originally my mother-in-law's dowry, or it was made up by my third aunt, anyway, I can't tell.

The two were extremely disappointed.

Unwilling to give up, Yun Min held the larger dowry box and looked left and right, and finally saw some clues, there seemed to be a dark layer underneath.

When she said this, Madam An also felt a little similar when she looked at it again. The master and servant tried for a while, their eyes lit up, and finally opened the dark layer under the head.

I saw a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water head and a pair of jade gourd pendants that Yun Min remembered deeply, lying quietly on the apricot red satin.

There is also a pair of golden tassel buds with lotus carp inlaid with rubies.

The two were overjoyed.

This can be regarded as a fish that slipped through the net from Zhang Jiashi's hands.

These few things, plus other three or five items were picked out, and two small white jade ornaments and a pair of pastel ear vases were taken away. The two of them put the box and cage back as they were, and checked carefully. Still go out the window and leave the yard

Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound.

Back in the house, my heart was finally completely let go.

With these few things, they are worth several thousand taels of silver if they are sold off, which is more than enough. It's all enough to buy a store and get it up and running.

"Grandmother, didn't Uncle An visit a few shops? In two days, I'll beg my third aunt to go out for a stroll. Let's have a look. If it's suitable, we'll buy it first." Yun Min's face was flushed, eyes Bright and very exciting.
