My favorite big treasure

A pile of foam spread out, and the scorched surface of the signboard revealed some broken wood textures, and some faint metallic luster seeped out from underneath.

There was a lot of movement here, many people were first attracted by the flames, and then attracted by the exclamation of the apprentices just now, watching what happened in front of them.

Xu Weiran stared at the thing and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that there is something!" He stepped forward and used his hand to buckle the scorched and broken wooden board outside.

Han Que warned him: "Be careful of burning."

Xu Weiran tried it out, and felt that it wasn't hot, so he firmly grasped the surrounding frame, and began to break down the charred and cracked wood bit by bit.

"Don't tell me it's an antique, right? It's hidden in the wood." There were loud discussions among the onlookers.

"Maybe it really is.

"If it's an antique, you can get rich."

Han Que went over to help him break it together, and the two of them worked together to pull off the cracked piece in the middle, and the metallic luster inside became more and more dazzling.

The members of the Qiu family probably rushed over after receiving the news. This group of people watched not far away, and saw that there were other things hidden in the burnt-out big signboard, and the whole family felt heartbroken again.

Don't be a good thing, in that case, they will regret it to death.

Especially Qiu Deye, craned his neck to look inside.What could it be?

Xiao Fei handed them a knife, Han Que quickly shook his head: "It will hurt the things inside.

"Brother, let's take it home and get it done, it's not very good on the street." Xu Weiran said.

"It's okay." Han Que used a little force with his fingers to lift off a large piece of wood, further revealing the contents inside.

I saw that it seemed to be a brand-like thing.

"Is it gold?" a spectator said

The Qiu family felt relieved. If it is gold, there is nothing to be surprised about.Even a gold nugget as big as the original signboard is not a valuable thing to their family.

After confirming that the object inside was relatively hard, Han Que's next action was a little rough, directly kicking half of the wood, and pulling out the layer of wood that wrapped the things inside hurriedly.

Gradually, a plaque shining with dark golden light gradually appeared in people's field of vision. It was a dark golden plaque about one and a half feet long, four inches wide, and half an inch thick.

"It's a plaque!"

"Gold brand! This is worth a lot of money!"

"If it's an antique, it should be worth more."

In the midst of people's discussions, Han Que turned the front of the sign over, staring at the large and small words engraved on the front, with a gratified smile on his face.

Xu Moran glanced at the sign. The characters on it were in ancient Chinese characters, but he could still recognize them even after guessing.

"Bao, Ren, Tang...Brother, the three characters "Bao Ren Tang" are engraved on it!" Xu Weiran asked excitedly.

"Hmm!" Han Que's finger moved towards the circle of pictures and texts in the lower right corner.Touching it, there is a sign and font that Xu Weiran is very familiar with, it is the Han family's crest and the Han character.

"Brother, this is enough to prove that this Baorentang" belongs to our family, right? "Xu Weiran was a little excited.

Han Que's finger slid to the line of small characters in the lower left corner.

Xu Weiran read it carefully, but unfortunately he could only recognize the words year, month, and day.

Han Que solemnly put away the plaque, held it in his chest and went to Cuifeng "walk.

"Patriarch! Then, is that the golden signboard that Emperor Hongde gave to the Han family, inscribed with his own handwriting and asked a goldsmith to make it!?" Qiu Deye had already guessed what it was.

Han Que ignored him and continued walking.

Seeing them walking back to Cuifeng, Qiu Zhengcai asked Qiu Deye: "Dad! What kind of golden signboard is it from the emperor?"Which emperor? "

Qiu Deye had a look of regret: "Emperor Hongde is the one who has only been the emperor for ten years, left the edict to abdicate the throne and abdicated, and has never been heard from since then."

"That one?" Qiu Zhengren remembered, "Isn't it just a medal given by the emperor, I don't think it looks like a gold medal, it has no value.

"It doesn't look like it now, but after all, it's still an imperial gift from Jintuo written in the emperor's handwriting. The key is that once that signboard comes out, our family still wants to make a fuss about returning the signboard, so there is no way to implement it." " Qiu Deye lamented reluctantly; "Is it really luck?"

"Why can't we make a fuss? The brand is ours..."

"Then how do you explain the fact that an ancient emperor's golden plaque fell out of the wooden plaque we've been using for decades, with an inscription on it for Han's family?" Qiu Deye waved his hand, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and it cannot Don't act recklessly again. Let's deal with the matter at hand before we talk about it. They have been successfully born. With the strength in our hands, we can't stop them.

After the appointment, Qiu Deye's old eyes flickered. "... For this matter, I can only find helpers, a lot of helpers... Just look at it, why do you think the Han family has been living in such a seclusion? People with such great abilities but not the courage to do great things... In the end, they will be hit hard by reality. Their family is so powerful, and let others... how to live?"

Qiu Zheng, I now understand what his father meant.

Jealousy is human nature.

Around them, there are many people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable.Among them, the one who usually pretends to be the best is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Han Que placed the real gold-lettered signboard in the middle of the counter. Master Lao Jiang and the others came over and touched it over and over again with a sense of awe.

Xu Weiran saw that they were very excited, so he patiently waited for them to finish touching them before touching them himself.

He touched it, then picked it up and weighed it, "Isn't it pure gold! The weight is wrong!

"It should be silver-plated with gold." Han Que explained.

Xu Weiran opened his mouth to bite the corner of the plaque, and was laughed at by the masters and apprentices in the room.

"By the way, there are other signboards that haven't been taken yet. Could there be something hidden there?" Xu Weiran's mind was wide open.

"No. This golden signboard should have been hidden a long time ago. It may have been hundreds of years."

"Has it been this long?"

"The signboard handed down from the ancestors was originally three pieces. The biggest one is in the main store of Baorentang, which is the one we moved back.The remaining two small ones were placed in this shop in Old Street and another shop in Chenghuangmiao. The shop in Chenghuangmiao was closed many years ago when the city was remodeled, and that signboard was the only one sent back to the mountain.A signboard on it.The wood used for these signboards is still old and antique. It is anti-corrosion, sun-proof and waterproof through special methods. The only point is that it is not fire-resistant.The signboards at the back are all imitated by these three pieces, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. "

"Now there are only two yuan left!" Xu Weiran felt a little regretful as he touched the big wooden signboard.

"Including this golden signboard with an inscription written by Emperor Hongde himself, it's still three yuan." Han Que comforted him.

"This piece is so small, it's not easy to hang it outside, it's better to put it away and hang it inside." Xu Weiran was a bit disgusted with this small signboard.What about the royal gifts?In today's society, only money is worshiped. In their eyes, emperors and saints in the past are not as useful as banknotes with the heads of great men.

"Take it back first, and then find a good way to seal them and store them before hanging them. This will prevent the metal surface from being easily blackened and oxidized when it encounters air." Han Que asked someone to find a piece of kraft paper to wrap it neatly. brought home

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when I got home.

After Aunt Kuan helped them prepare the dinner, she went back to the room, leaving the couple to eat together.

Seeing that there was no one else, Han Que hugged the little gold plaque, cut the kraft paper outside, and exposed the plaque again for air.

"Why, you haven't appreciated enough." Xu Weiran laughed at him.

Han Que tapped on the plaque with a steak knife.

Xu Weiran swallowed the food in his mouth, "You are still addicted to playing."

"Hush~~" Han Que waved at him, "Come here, I'll show you something."

Xu Weiran wiped his mouth clean and ran to sit next to him, his face full of anticipation.

Han Que used the table knife to draw a circle around the outer edge of the golden plaque. The table knife stopped when it encountered an obstacle. He aimed the spot at the light, turned around, saw a small gap, and put the table Point the knife at the gap and poke hard

Going down, there was only a sound of "clang", and the plaque was actually divided into two halves, the front and the back, with a hollow sandwich in the middle.

-The roll is not small, and the thin silk fabric falls out. The silk yarn is as thin as a cicada's wing, as clear as a cloud, and looks light and weightless, but it occupies a large space.

Xu Weiran opened his eyes wide in surprise to look at Han Que.

Han Que motioned him to pick it up, and he turned the two plaques upside down, and began to check what was hidden in their hollow parts.

Holding the roll of silk gauze in both hands, Xu Weiran really felt like he was holding a cloud and a cloud of mist. He couldn't help admiring in his heart that the ancestors were really talented, and such frivolous things could be made under such difficult conditions in the past. Live and come out, but now I can't do it.

Han Que took out a lot of boxes, bottles and jars one after another from the front and back half of the plaque.

"What are these...?" Xu Weiran looked at these secret things that were preserved, and asked cautiously.

"It should be some medicine. I don't know what it is. It needs to be researched." Han Que said, putting them away.

Xu Weiran handed him the roll of silk yarn, "It must be a very important treasure that can be hidden here?"

Han Que opened the veil, and saw that there were many densely packed small characters inside. Xu Weiran was dazed by those things at a glance. These characters were not only small, but also ancient characters. They knew him, but didn't he know them?Seeing that Han Que seemed to know him, Xu Weiran had no choice but to wait for him to read and explain to himself.After a while, Han Que rolled up the silk yarn again, and wrapped it temporarily with kraft paper. "What's written on it?" Xu Weiran asked him.

Han Que didn't hide it from him, and suddenly laughed, unable to conceal his inner joy: "Exactly, what I've been looking for for a long time!"

Xu Weiran was not interested in these, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I'll tell you what they are after I read the contents above." Han Que hoped to share it with him, but it's obviously not the time yet.

"OK!

Han Que put the table.Picking up the previous fiery red jade gourd, poured out two medicines from it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then handed him one, "You take it."

Xu Weiran took it without asking, and ate it. He felt delicious in his mouth and was happy: "It's delicious."

Han Que couldn't laugh or cry: "You dare to eat it without asking what it is."

"You won't hurt me."

Although Han Que shook his head, he was extremely happy because of Xu Weiran's absolute trust in him.

"This should be regarded as a special detoxification pill. After taking it, it will completely remove the internal organs of the body, the accumulated garbage and toxins in the corners... Now there is no medicinal material that can do this. You will know the benefits later.. .. (end of this chapter)
