Chapter 41: Rare Treasures

This is a huge bronze table, about the size of a ping-pong table, and its function is similar to that of a modern dining table or coffee table.

It is extremely exquisitely made, and is cast using a long-lost lost wax method. The whole body is covered with complex hollow cloud patterns, and the transparency is very good, just like white clouds floating in the sky.

On its tabletop, there are 12 dragon-shaped monsters climbing, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, which is amazing.

This is an ancient rich version of the dining table!

On this dining table, there is also an absolutely unexpected decoration.

It is a bronze money tree!

This bronze rocking money tree is nearly two meters tall and is planted in a pottery pot. It has a trunk and a crown.

Its crown is divided into nine layers, each with hollow leaves, on which many bronze coins are hung. Just shake it gently and it will jingle.

On the top of its crown, there is a lifelike phoenix, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high!

Li Zhenzhen didn't expect that the ancients more than 2,000 years ago had already begun to worship the rocking money tree. This concept is too advanced!

Next, Li Zhenzhen found a bronze sword on this table.

This bronze sword is covered with diamond-shaped dark grid patterns, and it is very slender and looks very sharp!

Li Zhenzhen has no doubt about the sharpness of this sword, because she knows that some ancient Chinese weapons have reached the pinnacle, and it is not surprising that they can still be used after two thousand years.

There are a few words on this bronze sword. Li Zhenzhen distinguished them carefully and found that they were "Zhang Yi, the Prime Minister of the Fourth Year of the Wang Dynasty"!

Zhang Yi, is it the Zhang Yi she thought of?

He is an incredible person.

It is said that Zhang Yi was a disciple of Guiguzi and was very eloquent. The "three-inch incorruptible tongue" that people often talk about originally referred to Zhang Yi.

He was an outstanding diplomat who made great contributions to the Qin State's alliances and was eventually appointed as the prime minister of Qin by the King of Qin.

It seems that this bronze sword was supervised by Zhang Yi when he was the prime minister, which means that it was also brought to Nanyue by Qin.

This experience of witnessing history with real objects is really fascinating, and it is also a great pleasure of antique collection.

Of course, Li Zhenzhen accepted all these treasures with a smile.

Then, Li Zhenzhen came to a pile of big boxes.

Each of these boxes is very large, and they are all made of Huanghuali wood. They are painted with Lingnan lacquer in a bright red color, and depict many stories of characters.

If a box is so exquisitely made, then the things inside are even more exciting.

Li Zhenzhen excitedly opened the big box in the front.

Unexpectedly, it was full of glass beads!

Li Zhenzhen was very disappointed. How could it be glass beads?

Wait!

Could this be...

Li Zhenzhen grabbed a handful of glass beads in the box, and after a closer look, she found that they were actually the legendary dragonfly eyes!
