Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 253 Complete Set

After returning to the winery, Liu Quan told her that someone had been looking for her for several days and gave her a phone number. Wen Qing looked at the area code and saw that it was Songjiang. Wen Qing dialed the number and found out that it was someone from Jinlou looking for her.

The person who answered the phone was Wu Mingming, the manager of the Gold House. She said, "Miss Wen, someone has taken a liking to the gold necklace with double dragons and pearls inlaid with gemstones that you sold us last time. The customer also wants to pair it with earrings and a bracelet. Do you have any?"

Wen Qing thought about it and realized that the necklace was made with filigree, engraving and inlay techniques, with six red agates and one ruby. She also had ruby ​​earrings and a gold bracelet with a double dragon and a pearl, which made it a complete set. So she asked, "Where is this customer from? What's the price?"

Wu Mingming replied, "He is a guest from Hong Kong. His family is also in the jewelry business. You should see the item first before deciding the price. I will definitely not let you down."

Wen Qing's heart moved, and she said, "Okay, ask him to contact me after he arrives in Beijing."

She had originally planned to go to Hong Kong before leaving. It is inconvenient to buy US dollars through formal channels in China now, so she went to Hong Kong to sell some of the repaired jewelry so that she could use it when she went to study in the United States.

Wen Qing returned to the small courtyard of Erxia Village, closed the door and entered the space to pack up the wooden boxes again. She remembered that she had also found some jewelry in the secret room in the small courtyard beside Yulin Lake.

Mr. Mo's old things have been returned to Mo Zhenzhen. These eight boxes were found in an underground secret room. From the style of the boxes and the condition of the secret room at the time, it is clear that they are not from the same batch.

Wen Qing found the eight boxes. The size of the wooden boxes was about 6 feet long, feet wide and feet high. The style of the boxes was very exquisite. They were made of red rosewood. The four corners were wrapped with copper, and there were lion-mouth-shaped handles on both sides. The lock of the wooden box was an ancient horizontal lock.

She opened them one by one, and found that all the things inside were wrapped in oilcloth. The three boxes were filled with silver ingots. She picked up a silver ingot, which weighed about 2 taels and had the stamp "Xinglong" on it. She took out the silver ingots and counted them. There were 650 in one box, and about 2000 in three boxes.

One box contained gold bars, each weighing about 5 taels, or more than 600 pieces; another box contained a brass-gilded Buddha statue, about 50 centimeters tall.

There were four small boxes in one box, which looked like jewelry boxes. When I opened one of the small boxes, it turned out to be a four-layer dressing box, containing necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. The other three were similar.

There were four small boxes in a wooden box, which were also jewelry boxes, but they only had two layers. One small box contained two phoenix crowns, and the other three small wooden boxes contained gold and silver jewelry.

The last wooden box contained six small wooden boxes of different sizes, which contained rubies, sapphires, jadeites, tourmalines, corals and other gems.

Wen Qing looked at these things. Some looked like they were from the Ming Dynasty, and some from the Qing Dynasty. They were much better preserved than those she had fished out from underwater. Perhaps the underground secret room was relatively humid, so even though they were wrapped in oilcloth, the jewelry was somewhat oxidized and had lost its beautiful luster.

She took out two boxes of jewelry and put the other gold, silver and other things back in the space. After a hundred years of vicissitudes and ups and downs, these things were fortunately in the secret room, otherwise, no one knew what would have happened.

She opened the jewelry box and took out the repaired jewelry. Wen Qing put together three sets of jewelry, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. One set was a gold wire flower set, one was a gold inlaid ruby ​​set, and one was a kingfisher silver-plated set. Each set had fourteen or fifteen pieces. The other ten pieces of jewelry included Huasheng, buyao, necklaces, rings, etc. After thinking about it, she took out the gem bonsai and put it aside separately.

Wu Mingming personally accompanied the guests from Gangcheng to Erxia Village. Wen Qing took a look and found that it was someone she knew, Yang Jiesheng who was being hunted in Huashan Valley.

The three of them shook hands and Yang Jiesheng said apologetically, "Miss Wen, I should have visited you earlier, but something happened at home."

Wu Jingluo was surprised: "Do you know each other?"

Yang Jiesheng smiled and said, "Miss Wen once saved me from danger."

Yang Jiesheng was wearing a light grey thin suit, without a tie, and the top button of his white shirt was unbuttoned. His short hair was combed very neatly, and his face was ruddy, and he looked much better.

Wen Qing smiled and said, "No, no, it's just that Mr. Yang is very lucky and has a good life, and he turned the disaster into blessing." If Wen Qing hadn't been there, he would probably have died.

Yang Jiesheng smiled and said, "I still owe Miss Wen 5 yuan. I came here to find you, but I didn't expect to see you here." Wen Qing helped him pay 3 yuan for medical expenses and lent him 2 yuan in cash.

After the greetings, Manager Wu introduced the purpose of their visit. Wen Qing then learned that Yang Jiesheng was from Yang’s Jewelry in Hong Kong. Although he was not a direct relative, he was also loved and trusted by the head of the family. He was now in charge of market development in mainland China.

They were planning to open a jewelry store in Songjiang, which would also be Yang’s Jewelry’s first store on the mainland. Yang Jiesheng did not mention the reason for the last incident in Huashan, and Wen Qing did not ask.

Speaking of which, Wen Qing felt that she had done a lot of good things since she traveled through time to this world, such as saving a child stolen by human traffickers, rescuing the Gu family from the reservoir, saving an old man named Deng on the train, saving the Oroqen people in Greater Khingan Range, and the person in front of her. Perhaps these things were the purpose of her time travel.

Yang Jiesheng liked the necklace he had seen in Jinlou very much and hoped to get a set. What he meant by a set was a necklace, ring, and bracelet, which are what people in the south call the "three golds" and are also the local custom.

Wen Qing said, "I have some other jewelry that I'm going to sell. Can you help me get a visa to Hong Kong?"

Yang Jiesheng: "Of course there is no problem. The main problem is that it takes a long time to process, usually two months, and you have to pay a deposit, and the procedures are quite complicated."

Wen Qing frowned after hearing this. She would be leaving for the United States in two months, so time was tight. Yang Jiesheng saw that she looked unhappy, so he asked, "Miss Wen, are you going to Hong Kong to sell jewelry? Are you going to auction it or sell it directly to a jewelry company?"

Wen Qing went back to the room and took out three antique jewelry boxes, opened them and showed them to them. Manager Wu couldn't let go of the beautiful jewelry. She asked, "Miss Wen, what is your target price for these jewelry?"

Wen Qing: "These sets of jewelry are heirlooms and have never been transferred. I don't know how much they are worth, so it would be best to auction them off."

Yang Jiesheng said, "Miss Wen, I'll take a few photos and show them to the auction company first, so it will be convenient to contact the auction company. Otherwise, you won't be able to send them to the auction in time when you get to Hong Kong City."
