Cheng Fengding is a veteran cadre who is sincere to his family and country.
Hearing about the "national treasure missing", he immediately became excited.
He came to see me all night long.
Yun Qiao persuaded him a little and told him to wait until tomorrow, but he couldn't wait any longer.
After waiting for an hour, he and the old lady were sent to the door of Yunqiao's apartment by the driver.
Yun Qiao welcomed the old couple in. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
When she saw Fengguan, the old lady exclaimed: "What a treasure!"
Compared with the existing national treasures, the Twelve Dragons and Twelve Phoenix Crown is inlaid with 148 gemstones, 4288 pearls and 18 small rubies.
Yun Qiao: "I got it in 1992.
At that time, the Chinese collector encountered a big problem and he urgently needed to exchange money.
However, he had a wish and wanted to give this thing to the Chinese.
He said this was something belonging to his ancestors and could not fall into the hands of foreigners.
Many of the same Chinese collectors do not recognize the value of this object, saying that there is no record of Empress Renxiao's phoenix crown in history, only the twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns of Empress Xiaojing.
I gave him a box of gold bars and two steel mills, and he gave them to me.
Over the years, I have been paying attention to the progress of national archaeology, and I want to know whether there is any record of this phoenix crown in the tomb of Queen Renxiao."
Cheng Fengding and his wife neither knew archeology nor were cultural relic collectors, so they both asked Yun Qiao: "Have you dug it now?"
"A broken stele was unearthed the year before last, which recorded some of Queen Renxiao's deeds and mentioned a sapphire, but it was not unearthed.
This phoenix crown is inlaid with sapphires, but it is not certain whether she had owned the twelve dragons and twelve phoenix crowns back then."
Yun Qiao said.
Cheng Fengding: "Is this something from the Ming Dynasty?"
"I asked people to identify it, and they all said it was yes."
Yun Qiao said, "So I will give it to Yancheng Museum first and just give me a certificate.
We are not experts in archaeology, so let’s leave it to professionals.”
Cheng Fengding saw it and didn't sleep much all night.
The next day, he called the director of Yancheng Museum to his home and talked with him about the matter.
When the curator heard this, he was very excited and wanted to see the real thing immediately.
"I just do research on Ming history."
The curator said, "Show it to me, and I'll know if it's true or false."
They came to Yun Qiao's apartment again.
Last night, fans of Yang Yong and Jiang Ning had a big fight; Lao Qian was prepared in advance, and Jiang Ning did not get any big news.
On Yang Yong's side, because of the conflict with Sun Fengyu, Sun Fengyu's fans took the opportunity to attack him again.
Attacked from both sides, his fans were also attacked from both sides, and the effect of the confrontation was a bit unsatisfactory.
Yun Qiao didn't go to bed until four in the morning, and now she got up again to receive the curator.
"...It's something from the Ming Dynasty!"
The curator was very excited.
He told Cheng Fengding about several characteristics, indicating that the object was probably an antique from the Ming Dynasty and not an imitation.
"Even if they are imitations, they are very valuable. Look at these gems and rubies, they are all natural; especially this sapphire, which is worth millions or even tens of millions."
said the curator.
In today's market, pure natural gemstones, especially top-grade sapphires, command sky-high prices.
Yun Qiao: "When I acquired it, I also recognized that the gems and pearls inlaid in it were treasures.
Gems and pearls are valuable when the economy is prosperous; but they are less valuable during times of turmoil.”
Xi Lanting always asked Yun Qiao to save gold.
After thousands of years of experience, he understood that gold can maintain its value at any time.
Yunqiao was lucky enough to survive World War II, and her economy reached an unprecedented height. Her gems, diamonds, and research institute were all huge treasures.
If she continues to be in turmoil, the only thing that can really bring her wealth is gold.
Poland that year was greatly affected by the situation, and everything except gold was devaluing.
If this kind of collection has no cultural relic value, it is not worth a steel mill.
When Yun Qiao took it down, he didn't expect it to be a cultural relic.
And now, what she can best use is this thing.
"You take it back and give it to the archaeological experts.
If it is determined to be a cultural relic, give me a donation certificate."
Yun Qiao said.
Curator: “I asked someone to move it together, I can’t move it alone.
I can’t tell if there’s any surprise.”
Several staff members from the museum came and took the phoenix crown away.
