Chapter 13: The Origin of the Orb

"This ...... The phosphorescent effect of the pearl is so strong this night!"

Ma Yuliang put down the teacup and hurriedly came over: "I've seen a lot of night pearls, but there are really few with such a strong phosphorescent effect!"

Qingheshan was also surprised, and the scene in front of him was obviously far beyond his expectations.

"Xiao He, where did you get this night pearl?" Qinghe Mountain looked up and asked.

He Lin was slightly stunned, and truthfully told Qingheshan and others about the discovery of this night pearl.

Of course, he didn't mention that he had seen Baoguang, but excused himself by accidentally throwing the incense burner to the ground, and only then did he discover the Night Pearl inside.

"You said that this night pearl was hidden in the nuclear carving incense burner during the Republic of China?"

Qingheshan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Well, yes"

He Lin nodded and said with a smile: "At that time, the person who came to my shop to sell the nuclear carved incense burner wanted to sell the incense burner at too high a price, saying that this incense burner was the stuff of a family surnamed Sun Dahu in the Republic of China, and that the ancestor of the Sun family was still a warlord or something. ”

"My dad was so bad at the time that he paid 10,000 yuan to buy the nuclear carved incense burner. He Lin smiled, scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect there to be a night pearl in it, it seems that it was a leak." ”

"What?

Qingheshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked up at He Lin: "Xiao He, is what you just said true?"

He Lin nodded: "Really, there is indeed a payment at the bottom of the incense burner, and the word 'Sun Mansion' is printed." ”

"If this is true, then the value of this Night Pearl will be several times great!" Qingheshan said lightly.

At this moment, more than ten minutes have passed, and the phosphorescent light of the night pearl is still as strong as ever, and there is no sign of abating!

Ma Yuliang also seemed to think of something, and his expression changed: "Lao Qing, do you mean?"

Qingheshan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if I guessed correctly, this may be a night pearl on the phoenix crown of Empress Cixi of the Qing Dynasty!"

Uproarβ€”β€”!

As soon as these words came out, He Lin and Qingle were stunned on the spot!

A night pearl on the phoenix crown of Empress Cixi in the Qing Dynasty?!

Who was Cixi?

The actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty in China, who was second only to the Kangxi Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was known as the "Empress of Wumian" of the Qing Dynasty!

"Grandpa, is it really fake?"

Qingle looked incredulous, pointed to the night pearl and asked, "Is this really Empress Cixi's phoenix crown?"

Qingheshan nodded and glanced at He Lin: "Judging from what Xiao He said, this night pearl is indeed the stuff of Empress Cixi." ”

"Old Qing, how could this night pearl have something to do with Cixi?" He Lin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao He, I don't know if you have heard of the wild history of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Qingheshan stroked his beard and said: "At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi had a total of nine priceless night pearls on her phoenix crown, and the largest one was put into Cixi's mouth after her death and buried in the Dingdong Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. ”

He Lin nodded: "Well, I know, that night pearl was purchased by the Empress Dowager Cixi for 10.8 million taels of silver, and now the estimated value has reached 800 million!"

"This kind of natural night pearl is rare in the history of Xia, and some prices are naturally extremely high, and those who have night pearls in ancient times are at least famous and prominent if they are not the sons of heaven. ”

Ma Yuliang smiled and took over the conversation: "According to Secretary Shi, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Night Pearl was already priceless, and it could be compared with He's Bi! At that time, only the two big officials Tao Zhugong (Fan Li) and Yidun (a big businessman during the Warring States Period) could afford it!"

Guo Kuang, the younger brother of Empress Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, "hung pearls and hung on all sides, looking at them like stars during the day and like the moon at night", in this way to show off his wealth. Wu Zetian gave Xuanzong the jade dragon in the night pearl, and Xuanzong returned to his son (Shizong) a clear pearl and illuminated a room!"

As he spoke, Ma Yuliang pointed to the night pearl in Qingheshan's hand: "Look at this night pearl, just now Lao Qing only used strong light for a few seconds, but now it is still as bright as the moon, and you can see that this night pearl is extraordinary!"

He Lin nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "But Cixi ......"

Qingheshan nodded, and then said: "In addition to the largest night pearl in the phoenix crown of the Empress Dowager Cixi, there are eight other small night pearls. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, the Empress Dowager Cixi took down four night pearls and gave them to foreigners to seek peace, and now the four night pearls have now been recovered by the Huaxia Museum. ”

The other four and the largest night pearl were used together for the funeral of Cixi. However, in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the tomb of Emperor Cixi was stolen, and the five night pearls disappeared along with other burial objects.

Qingle frowned slightly, and asked, "Grandpa, this has nothing to do with this Night Pearl." ”

"Hehe, Qingle has some wild history that you may not know. ”

Ma Yuliang smiled and continued: "In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, there were many warlords in China, and it was Sun Dianying, one of the many warlords, who stole Cixi's mausoleum at that time!"

"Sun Dianying?!"

It is said that Sun Dianying used ** to blow up the tomb of Emperor Cixi and plundered all the burial objects in the mausoleum, including the five night pearls, of course. ”

Later, Sun Dianying fell, and many Qing Dynasty objects were indeed found from his mansion, which shows that this rumor is true. Ma Yuliang stroked his beard, smiled and asked, "The largest night pearl was transferred to Mrs. Song by Sun Dianyingzhan, and was later recovered by the Huaxia Museum. ”

"Xiaole, just now Xiao He said that the nuclear carved incense burner came from Sun's mansion, do you think there is any connection to this matter?"

"Ah...... I get it!"

Qingle Mei's eyes flashed, and she suddenly brightened: "Teacher Ma, what you and Grandpa mean is that this Sun Mansion was made by the descendants of the warlord Sun Dianying, and this night the pearl flowed out of the Sun Mansion again, so ...... like this"

Qingle didn't continue, and the results speak for themselves!

"Hehe, that's it. Ma Yuliang smiled and nodded.

He Lin's face was full of surprise at this time, he didn't expect that the night pearl he stumbled upon would actually have a relationship with the Empress Dowager Cixi!

For a while, he was very excited in his heart, since this night pearl has a prominent provenance, its value must be rising!

He Lin immediately asked, "Qing Lao, if you estimate it, how much can I sell for this night pearl at market price?"

Qingheshan pondered for a moment: "This night pearl is not only pure natural but also from the Qing Palace, and the lowest market price can be sold for about 3 million, and if it is put at auction, the bidding price will be higher." ”

3 million?!

He Lin was stunned, this price was a little different from what he thought.
