"Dad, you said that every time a guest comes, you have to say it, as if the Li family's treasure really exists. Even if it does exist, it's not ours. Even if it can't be found by others, we can't get it!

There’s no need for you to be so happy, right?”

"Who said it doesn't matter? We are a distant branch of the Li family. After the direct line of the Li family disappears, we will be considered a direct line." Old Li said.

Xiao Li retorted: "My dear, why don't you know the specific location of the Li family's treasure house? If you knew, we wouldn't have to make such hard money here."

"Let's go, let's go to Li Garden to take a look. The key point is to take a look at the big bed in the Li family that still exists." Han Kongque said.

Chen Jiayi said: "Are you really going?"

"Why don't you go? If it's true, if we find the Li family's treasure, wouldn't it be a discovery?" Han Kongque said.

"Okay, if you want to go, we will go. Anyway, we can't reach Xihu City tonight." Chen Jiayi said.

After paying the bill, Han Kongque and the others headed north in the direction guided by the Li family and his son.

Although the roads here are not wide, they are well maintained, so they can travel very fast.

Han Peacock looked at the surrounding environment and could still vaguely see some of the Suzhou gardens, with rockeries and rocks scattered among them. However, the place that was supposed to be a garden has turned into fertile farmland. It can be said that a vast sea has turned into a mulberry field.

If the Li family and his son hadn't told them, they really wouldn't have known that this place had once been a picturesque garden.

When the car drove into a large courtyard, Han Kongque and the others were amazed. This was an ancient building complex. Just from the stone pillars and vicissitudes of stone walls, it could be seen that the construction here was not short.

This ancient building complex is not an ordinary wooden house with carved beams and painted beams, but a brick house with an earth and stone structure.

At this time, the rain was very light, but it made everyone's body sticky: "Let's take a bath first, and then look at the legendary big bed. If possible, we will sleep on that big bed."

Night."

Long Lin laughed and followed the waiter. As a tourist area, the service facilities here are pretty good.

After taking a shower, no matter whether it was late or not, everyone gathered in a house in the building complex. A waiter introduced: "Li Garden's underground tunnels are densely covered, and underground palaces can be found everywhere. It is too dangerous to enter at night, so we can only

Enter during the day.

This is the only treasure left in this garden. Look, this is the Babu bed. It is the most advanced type of bed in ancient times.

The Babu bed, also called the Babu bed, is the largest type of bed. This bed is made of oak. Perhaps it is because the wood is not very precious that it can be preserved until now.

Babu beds are classified into two categories: "big bed" and "cool bed" in "Lu Ban Jingjiang Jiajing". They are actually the traditional and simplified forms of Babu beds. The bed we have here is the complex Babu bed.

kind of.

The Babu bed is a large bed that was popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The unique feature of the Babu bed is that a "small wooden cabin" is added to the canopy bed.

From the appearance, it looks like the canopy bed is placed on a closed wooden platform. The platform extends two or three feet from the front edge of the bed.

It forms a corridor, which is small but accessible to people.

When people step into the corridor, it feels like stepping into a room. There is a footrest in the middle of the corridor, and small furniture such as tables and stools can be placed on both sides to store sundries.

Due to the large size of the bed, there is a relatively independent range of activities in front of the bed. Although it is used indoors, it is like an independent small house.

Babu beds are mostly used in our south. Because our south is warm and there are many mosquitoes and flies, the bed frame is used to hang mosquito nets. Now it has been found in Pan's Tomb in the Demon City, He, Liao's Tomb in Beifucheng and

The furniture models unearthed from the tombs of Su, Zhouhu and Qiu Wang all belong to this category.

It is different in the north. Due to the cold weather, people generally sleep on heated beds. Even if they use beds, in order to make the room spacious and bright, it is only necessary to install shorter bed rails on the left, right and rear.

The only ancient Babu bed discovered today is the one we have here, and it is the most complete one.

The environmental space created by the overall layout of this bed is like a small house in the room. There is a floor under the bed and door rails, which means "a bed within a bed, a cover within a cover".

The step-by-step bed we have here is absolutely rare in China. Perhaps it is because it is too complicated to make and is not easy to disassemble, so it is still here today."

"How did the ancients imagine such a thing?" Chen Jiayi exclaimed.

This is completely like making a house within a house, which is equivalent to making a detachable and movable portable room. With such a bed, you can eat in it, relax in it, and even move around at will. Such enjoyment,

Even modern people, not many people can afford it.

"People in ancient times really knew how to enjoy themselves." Su Jinglong also exclaimed.

Zhu Feiyu said: "I also want to enjoy it. When I return to the capital, I will definitely have someone make me a big bed like this. Hehe, it will be great then."

"Is this the big bed mentioned in Shili Hongzhuang?"

"When my hair reaches my waist, it would be great to marry me as a young man. When your green hair is straight, I will spread red makeup for ten miles. This kind of thing was only possible in the old society, and people's lives today are not as good as in ancient times."

"You guys are smiling so obscenely, you must not have any good intentions in mind. However, this kind of production technology should not be easy to copy."

Han Kongque knew a lot about carving and carpentry, so he was very interested in this kind of bed.

He looked at this big bed. The wood was hard and it was indeed made of oak. The entire bed was made entirely of wood without using a single nail. Modern people really couldn't do this kind of craftsmanship.

If you simply make one like this, it won't be difficult. Of course, it is not easy to make it as exquisite as the ancients.

The Babu bed was produced in the late Ming Dynasty. Due to its complicated production process, it is also called the "Qiangong Babu bed". It can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the pillar-type Babu bed, which is the early form of the Babu bed.

.

The other type is the corridor-style bed. The bed here is the most typical bed, but this kind of bed is relatively large in size and complex in structure. It looks like a small cabin in appearance.

The Babu bed can be divided into two parts as a whole, one is the canopy bed, and the other is the corridor in front of the canopy bed.

The bed frame is used to hang accounts. In order to make the room spacious and bright, shorter bed rails are installed on the left and right sides and behind it.

Therefore, the Bab bed is like a small house in the house.

This kind of bed appeared in the late Ming Dynasty and has certain social and historical roots. At that time, the life of the scholar-official class was very corrupt. Officials were promiscuous, built high-end mansions, and had suites in their rooms.

After entering the Republic of China, this kind of bed was still used in wealthy homes in the Jiangnan area. It was decorated with many auspicious patterns and historical allusions.

Moreover, the Babu bed also embodies human care everywhere. Take the shallow corridor in front of the bed. A toilet can be placed on one side, so you can use the toilet without getting out of the bed in the morning.

There is a dressing table on the other side, so you can dress up and dress up immediately after getting out of bed. It is always considerate of others and is very convenient.

It can be said that sleeping on this kind of bed is a kind of enjoyment, especially for people with special hobbies.

For example, in "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua", there are many descriptions of the Babu bed. In the nineteenth chapter of the book, it is written: "Ximen Qingxuan bought a black lacquer Huanmen gold bed with sixteen taels of silver" for Meng Yulou.

Chapter 29 also writes about the Babu bed: Just because Li Ping'er had a good Babu bed in his house, Pan Jinlian made a big fuss. In order to calm the matter, Ximen Qing had to spend 60 taels of silver to buy another one.

I bought a mother-of-pearl open hall bed, which is the Babu bed.

60 taels of silver was a great temptation for people at that time. It is mentioned in "Jin Ping Mei" that in the 90th chapter, it cost 5 taels of silver to buy the girl Xiaoyu and 60 taels of silver to buy the girl Qiu Ju, but they were not worth a piece of silver.

The price of a bed.

It can be seen that the Babu bed was not only a kind of bedding in ancient times, but also a symbol of wealth. At that time, it embodied a life attitude of luxury, enjoyment and even boasting of wealth.

Han Kongque looked at this Babu bed and felt something was wrong. Could it be that people who could afford the Babu bed didn't have good materials?

You must know that during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, rosewood was not too expensive. Except for this, other rosewood branches were available. Since you want to make a bed, there is really no need to make an oak bed.

Although the craftsmanship of this bed was not mentioned, Han Kongque could still find from some subtle details that this bed did not seem to be formed in one go, but rather like a test product.

It was only after many modifications that such a bed was assembled. If this is the case, it would be very interesting.

After looking at the big bed, Han Peacock returned to his room.

"Brother, do you think there is really a treasure in Li Yuan?" Han Xing knew that Han Kongque and his group were all fond of treasure hunting, so he wanted to know Han Kongque's plan in advance.

Han Kongque thought about it carefully before saying: "It's really hard to say this. What Old Li said at the beginning can only be listened to as a story, but now that we have seen the Babu bed, we have to think about it seriously."

"Families who can afford the Babu bed will definitely not be simple. Just like the silver we salvaged earlier, it was just the treasury silver of some big families. Maybe the Li family also has a treasure house, but who

I didn’t even notice it,” Han Xing said.

"If what Lao Li said is true, maybe there really is a treasure here, but we don't have to put too much hope in it. There are so many people who know this legend, but no one has discovered it yet.

There are two possibilities. One is that there is a treasure house, but this treasure house is very well hidden. The other possibility is that there is no such treasure house at all, but no matter which one it is, if you want to find treasures here, you must

It's not easy." Han Peacock analyzed.

Han Xing said: "Of course, it's not easy. If it were easy, no one would have discovered it by now."

"It's too late. We will definitely have to stay here for a day tomorrow, so we'll see what happens tomorrow," Han Kongque said.

When Han Xing and Zhang Xiangyue left, Han Kongque was lying on the bed. He had long felt that something was wrong here. It was only now that he discovered that the terrain of Li Garden was higher than the surrounding areas, so it was very suitable for building a house.

Why choose a high-lying place to build a house? Of course, it is waterproof and moisture-proof. If there is another reason, it is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is conducive to defense.

But now Han Peacock clearly feels that this area with dense buildings is too humid.

Because Han Peacock is sensitive to water, he can easily feel that there is water vapor everywhere around him. This is not just because of the rain today, it seems that the underground water source here is very abundant.

Although Han Peacock did not check the surrounding environment carefully when he came in just now, through some analysis of the surrounding terrain, he found that the location of this house should be the highest in the surrounding area.

Once you leave such a place, even if there is water underground, it should seep into low-lying areas, right?

With this question, Han Peacock got up. Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go for a walk.

Since there was still rain in the sky, Han Peacock didn't see much. The surrounding environment was all hidden in the rain and fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

While walking, Han Kongque came to the parking lot. All their cars were parked here. Since he couldn't sleep, Han Kongque walked to his car, but before he walked in, he found Zhang Xiangyue opening the door and walking out.

"Why didn't you go to bed?" Han Peacock asked strangely.

Zhang Xiangyue said: "A few of our drivers divided the work and were on duty here. There was a problem with the provincial car."

"You go back to your room and sleep! I can't sleep tonight, so I will be on duty here for you. I will sleep for a while during the day tomorrow." Han Peacock said with a smile.
