Chapter 116: The Mysterious Tycoon

  The entire set of golden silk clothes is placed in a specially made glass cabinet, and there are warning lines around it to indicate that people should not get close. [Cotton Candy]

  Gu Xiang stood beside, looking through the glass at Jinlv Yuyi quietly lying inside, even her breathing slowed down a bit. This exhibition did not allow photography, so everyone could only make admiring sounds from the side without anyone taking out their camera.

  "Not bad at all, it's almost perfectly preserved." Professor Wang stood not far from Gu Mian, gazing at the golden silk garment in the glass cabinet with infatuation, and couldn't help but let out a small sigh of admiration.

  This set of golden jade clothes in the glass cabinet consists of six parts: headgear, upper body, sleeves, gloves, trousers and shoes, all made up of jade pieces and sewn with gold thread.

  Gu Niang observed carefully, inside the jade garment there is a jade eye cover and nose plug on the head, and a genitalia cover box and anus plug on the lower abdomen. The edges are locked with red fabric, and the pants tube is wrapped with iron strip lock edge, making it solidify into shape. The facial cover has carved eyes, nose, and mouth shapes, the chest and back are wide, the buttocks and abdomen are bulging, completely resembling a human body type.

  At first glance, it seems as if the jade suit really wraps around a person, giving people a sense of novelty and a hint of fear.

  Gu Mei stared at the Golden Brocade Jade Robe with equal fascination, her eyes fixed on it as she unconsciously caressed her left hand. Her heart was itching, and she really wanted to break the glass case and touch the robe herself to see what kind of feeling it would bring her.

  The golden thread jade clothes can't be compared to other jade products. A set of this kind requires at least 2,000 pieces of jade to be spliced together, and the materials used for selection and craftsmanship have strict requirements.

  Not only that, but in ancient times, this golden silk jade garment was not something that ordinary people could wear. Those who were able to wear it after death were all high-ranking officials when they were alive.

  Jīn lǚ yù yī is the highest standard funeral attire of the Han Dynasty, roughly appearing during the Western Han Wenjing period. According to the "Western Capital Miscellaneous Records", the emperors of the Han Dynasty all used "pearl-lined jade coffins" for burial. It resembles armor, connected with gold threads.

  This jade coffin is what people commonly refer to as a "golden thread jade garment". At that time, people were very superstitious about jade being able to preserve the corpse from decay, and they also used jade as a noble gift and symbol of status.

  The jade garment is a symbol of the wearer's identity level. The jade garments worn by the emperor and some close ministers are embroidered with gold thread, known as "golden jade garments". Other nobles use silver thread or copper thread to make them, known as "silver jade garments" and "copper jade garments".

  "Where did this golden jade dress come from? How come I've never heard any rumors about it before?" Qin Sheng muttered to himself.

  Gu Mei heard Qin Sheng's muttering and couldn't help but turn her head to look at him: "You mean this jade garment..."

  "No, I just think it's strange. If it were discovered under normal circumstances, it's not certain whether this golden silk garment could become a private collection or not. If this golden silk garment is really from the Han Dynasty as said, its origin is probably problematic." Qin Sheng said in a low voice.

  Gu Xiang nodded calmly, the intensity of various protection measures for domestically excavated cultural relics is not enough. Generally speaking, relevant personnel in archaeology usually discover and conduct rescue operations only after ancient tombs have been robbed.

  Just like the last time she followed Professor Wang to Taiyuan, although the ancient tomb had not been discovered before it was excavated by the construction team, but when they rushed to rescue it, the swift tomb robbers had already entered and looted the tomb chamber.

  It's also possible that the situation is like what Qin Sheng said, but since the other party dared to take out this golden silk jade garment for exhibition, its origin should have become unproblematic even if it was problematic.

  "It's a pity that we can't take a closer look. Even with the glass case, it doesn't feel real." Gu Ming said with a hint of regret.

  "This thing is precious. Who can casually let people touch it, what if they find some problem? Then who should be responsible?" Professor Wang happened to hear Gu Xiang's words and couldn't help but speak out.

  "Of course I knew, so I just said it casually." Gu Mei smiled at Professor Wang and continued: "This Golden Thread Jade Robe shouldn't belong to the host, Mr. Smith, right?"

  Professor Wang was just about to say something but didn't know what himself, and as a result, someone else beat him to it.

  "Of course not." Tang Ming smiled and nodded towards Gu Mian: "Although Mr. Smith is the organizer of this exhibition, not all the exhibits are his. The golden silk jade clothes you're looking at now belong to Mr. Shi Youcai from that side."

  Tang Ming pointed to a middle-aged man not far away, surrounded by a crowd of people like a moon surrounded by stars. The middle-aged man looked young in appearance, but his temples were already slightly grayed.

  At this time, he was surrounded by many people, but he didn't look busy at all. He responded with ease and poise.

  Is this guy talented? Gu Mei gave a faint look of disdain, this name is really quite tacky.

  "Who is this man?" Professor Wang looked at Tang Ming who suddenly appeared and couldn't help but turn his puzzled gaze to Gu Mian.

  "Professor Wang. This is Mr. Tang Ming, and he's a good friend of the exhibition organizer, Mr. Smith."

  "Professor Wang, nice to meet you. I've long admired your reputation." Tang Ming extended his hand to Professor Wang.

  "It turned out that Mr. Tang, one of the organizers of this event, had long been admired by him." Professor Wang showed a pleased expression and extended his hand to shake hands with the other person lightly.

  "I'm nothing but a host, just helping out with some legwork." Tang Ming said humbly.

  "Mr. Tang smiled and said......" Mr. Tang was polite, Professor Wang was also polite.

  Gu Meng looked at Professor Wang and Tang Ming coming and going, couldn't help but tilt her head and smile quietly. Don't think that just because Professor Wang is a researcher, he won't know how to deal with these social niceties. If he really didn't know how to handle them, it would be impossible for him to enter the notoriously difficult-to-enter organization at such a young age.

  "Miss Gu is indeed a professional in the field of appraisal. Generally, women who come in would first go to see the jewelry exhibition on that side, but Miss Gu came directly here." After exchanging pleasantries with Professor Wang, Tang Ming shifted his attention back to Gu Mei, while discreetly sizing up Qin Sheng beside her.

  Qin Sheng noticed Tang Ming's line of sight, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he quietly took a step closer to Gu Mian, successfully provoking the other person's raised eyebrows.

  "Everyone has different tastes, but I'm not a special person either. As a woman, I also have an interest in jewelry, and after seeing the golden silk jade clothes, I naturally went over." Gu Mei didn't notice the silent exchange between Qin Sheng and Tang Ming at all, most of her thoughts were still on the golden silk jade clothes in the glass cabinet.

  Tang Ming originally wanted to say something else, but suddenly someone walked up to his ear and whispered a few words, so Tang Ming had no choice but to leave temporarily.

  "Gu Mian, when did you get to know Tang Ming?" Professor Wang asked curiously.

  Qin Sheng was also very curious, and while his face didn't show it, he pricked up his ears in secret, waiting for Gu Mian's response.

  "Mr. Tang had bought something from our Treasure Mountain House before, and the rhinoceros cup I received for the first time was also taken away by Mr. Tang." At other times, Gu Mei didn't say much, she could only mention that one time at Treasure Mountain House.

  "So the fat sheep you were talking about is him!" Professor Wang nodded.

  Gu Xiang smiled and pursed her lips, knowing that Professor Wang's impression of Tang Ming was not very good, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken in such a tone that seemed to be gloating.

  "Qin Sheng, have you heard of that Mr. Shi? Someone who can collect golden silk clothes is probably not a simple person." Gu Mian glanced over at Shi Youcai's direction and found that he had already disappeared, the people surrounding him earlier had also dispersed.

  "Before today, I had never heard of Mr. Shi, probably because he just returned from abroad, and today he appeared in front of everyone through this exhibition." Qin Sheng thought for a moment before responding.

  Gu Mei'er heard this and turned her head to take a glance at the golden silk jade garment placed in the glass cabinet, without making a sound.

  Qin Sheng's main purpose for coming to the exhibition today was Robert. He took Gu Yan with him and strolled around the venue, finally seeing Robert in front of the "Rose Queen" showcase.

  At this time, Robert looked much better than when he was at Old Man Huang's house. The sudden event that day still lingered vividly in Gu Mian's memory.

  As the host of this exhibition, Robert was more popular than Shi Youcai who suddenly appeared from nowhere and was surrounded by a crowd.

  But it's unclear whether it was Robert's strong aura or a kind of inexplicable reverence for this foreign nobleman that caused the people surrounding him to maintain a certain distance, and when speaking, there were no disputes.

  Although there were a lot of people, it didn't have much impact on Qin Sheng. Soon he took Gu Mian and walked past the others to Robert's side.

  Robert was not surprised by Qin Sheng's appearance, but when he saw that the woman beside Qin Sheng was Gu Mei, a hint of surprise rose in his heart, though it did not show on his face.

  Originally, according to Qin Sheng's plan, he hoped that when Robert asked about identification and other things, Gu Mei would come forward to help. However, Gu Mei stood by and listened to Robert and Qin Sheng talk for half a day without being of any use at all.

  It can be seen that Qin Sheng is very friendly to Robert, although he hopes to get closer to Robert, but he doesn't show any fawning behavior that makes people feel disgusted.

  On the contrary, his attitude is close and natural, making it impossible for people to find anything out of place.

  Robert seems to have a good impression of Qin Sheng as well and invites him to the resting room for further discussion after chatting with him for a while.

  This way, Gu Mei didn't have to follow along awkwardly, and without Qin Sheng saying much, she took the initiative to ask to go see other exhibits.

  "The Rose Queen" is indeed one of today's protagonists, the large gemstone placed in the center of the exhibition hall, under the illumination of the light, emits a dazzling brilliance, attracting the surrounding women to yearn for it endlessly, hoping that one day they can wear it.

  Gu Mei was also very curious about this "Rose Queen", standing beside it and carefully observing, trying to find any signs of repair.
