Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property

Gu Wenfeng took this box of contents several times. There were five calligraphy and painting boxes in total, as well as rice paper, ink strips and inkstones as Lu Jiaxin expected. There are various types of ink and inkstones, one of which is carved with ink and has a five-clawed golden dragon.

The five-clawed dragon was the symbol of the emperor in ancient times. The ancient emperor was called the "True Dragon Emperor" and was the incarnation of the "True Dragon" in heaven. In feudal society, it was stipulated that the dragon shape on the emperor's royal items could only have five claws. Other royal families and ministers who needed to use dragon shapes could only use four or three claws. This meant that the imperial power was supreme and unshakable.

Lu Jiaxin felt that this piece of ink was probably a tribute to the emperor. Some rich people like this kind of symbolic things, and they can sell them at high prices if they find the right buyer.

Xue Mao looked at these stones and frowned: "Sister, can these things really be sold at high prices?"

Why does he feel so mysterious? If he encounters these things on the road, he won't lower his head to pick them up. Even giving them to him feels like they take up space.

Lu Jiaxin smelled the fragrance of the ink and said with a smile: "You can't sell it at a high price now, but you won't be able to buy it if you have money in the future."

Antiques haven't become popular yet, and cultural relic dealers in the mainland are very aggressive in lowering prices, so if you want to sell them at a higher price, you have to go to Pengcheng. However, she only plans to sell one painting as start-up capital, and collect the others. She wasn't planning to find anyone to identify these things just yet. Once the things were exposed, she couldn't hide the news.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Miss Lu, you stay up there and guard while Xue Mao and I carry up the remaining boxes."

Lu Jiaxin originally wanted to open these five calligraphy and paintings, but she only knew that one of them was a picture of a lady, but she didn't know what the other four were.

Putting down the things in her hands, Lu Jiaxin smiled and agreed.

Following Lu Jiaxin's instructions, the two of them were particularly careful when carrying the boxes containing the porcelain. When they arrived at the entrance, they both picked up the boxes. Although they don't understand antiques, they feel that such exquisite porcelain should be valuable.

It was already evening when all the things were brought up. Gu Wenfeng wanted to build the fire pit overnight, but Lu Jiaxin felt that there was no need to rush.

Lu Jiaxin said: "We were very gentle when we brought the things up just now, and because it was quite noisy outside, the people who entered the hospital for the second time couldn't hear the sound. But if the wall was built and the sound was so loud, they would definitely be able to hear it. Even if the fire kang is not strong enough, If I have to re-build it, I can’t choose to do it at night, otherwise I’ll be suspicious.”

Gu Wenfeng felt that she was quite cautious and said with a smile: "Okay, let's build this fire kang again tomorrow morning. Not only this kang, but the other two kangs also need to be rebuilt."

Cover the entrance with wooden boards and add a few bricks. After doing this, Gu Wenfeng and Xue Mao went out.

Lu Jiaxin took out five sets of calligraphy and paintings and opened them one by one. Seeing the familiar picture of a beautiful lady, she almost reached out to touch it, but retracted her hand when she touched the painting. Her hands were stained with sweat, and touching the painting like this would cause irreversible damage.

In addition to the pictures of ladies, the other four paintings are ink paintings, longevity pictures, hunting pictures and pictures of flowers and birds. Two of the larks are lifelike and really beautiful.

She was shocked when she saw the inscription on the flower-and-bird painting. The author of this painting was actually the emperor of the Song Dynasty who was a master of calligraphy. Although the emperor became a subjugated king, his attainments in calligraphy and painting were extremely high. The same is true. His calligraphy and paintings are very popular in later generations, and each one is worth a sky-high price. Of course, the premise is that it is an authentic work, not a copy.

Lu Jiaxin also looked carefully at the signatures of the other three paintings, but unfortunately she didn't recognize any of the names on them. This is not to say that the painting is fake, but that she does not have a deep understanding of ancient paintings. The reason why she knew that the lark was made by the subjugated emperor was because she heard the tour guide introduce it at the museum. The signatures of other paintings may use their own words or nicknames, and they are not experts in this field or have done research on it.

After reading this box, Lu Jiaxin opened the box containing the porcelain. There are a total of twelve pieces of these porcelains, including a blue and white plum pattern porcelain vase, a double-eared porcelain vase, a three-legged incense burner, as well as painted bowls, clear-glazed tea cups, etc.

Except for blue and white porcelain, which she knew a little about, the others were all blind spots. However, she is not planning to sell them for collection anyway. When she is able to protect these things in the future, she will ask someone to appraise them.

Lu Jiaxin happily put the things back carefully. As for the eight boxes of ancient books, she didn't look at them anymore. I decided to donate it, just in case I didn't want to part with it and it would only cause more trouble.

Gu Wenfeng took a shower and came back. After sitting down, he asked: "How do you plan to transport these things back?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "Brother Gu, these books should have research value. I want to donate them all to the museum in Forty-Nine City. I want all five calligraphy and paintings, and the rest will be divided equally between the three of us."

Gu Wenfeng was stunned. He never expected that Lu Jiaxin would distribute it like this.

Xue Mao immediately waved his hand: "Sister, I don't want it. You gave me the house. If you still want these things, what will I become?"

Gu Wenfeng came back to his senses and said: "Miss Lu, this can't be done. The house belongs to you, and the things here naturally belong to you."

Lu Jiaxin said in a joking tone: "These things will be very valuable in the future. If you don't want them now, don't regret it in the future!"

Xue Mao immediately stated that he would never regret it.

Gu Wenfeng showed a rare smile and said, "Miss Lu, these are your things. I have nothing to regret."

Don't touch things that don't belong to you. However, Lu Jiaxin was very happy that he had this intention.

"Are you sure you don't want any?"

The two of them shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't want it.

After Lu Jiaxin took out the ink carving with the five-clawed dragon and the plum blossom porcelain vase, she said, "Since you don't want them, I'll keep these and donate the rest."

Gu Wenfeng had no objection, but Xue Mao was unwilling: "No, we can't donate."

He wouldn't object if the books were donated, since they weren't worth anything anyway. These porcelain and inkstones looked very precious, and he couldn't bear to part with them.

Under Xue Mao's strong opposition, only eight boxes of ancient books and rice paper were donated, and the rest were kept.

Gu Wenfengxia said: "You want to donate these books to the Forty-Nine City Museum. I will contact the car tomorrow and arrange to transport these books to Forty-Nine City. Miss Lu, your things can also be sent with you. go back."

Lu Jiaxin said, "Brother Gu, I don't want people to know that I donated these books."

Gu Wenfeng understood her decision. There are many greedy people in this world. If people knew that she had donated so many ancient books, they would definitely think that she had more treasures. Even if there is protection from the Xie family, there is no reason to guard against thieves even if you only commit a thief for a thousand days.

"Miss Lu, I can't guarantee what you said. If you want to be absolutely sure, you can only ask the leader to arrange this."

Lu Jiaxin agreed without thinking. Xie Kaixiao would not notice such a small thing, otherwise the pattern would be too small.
