Chapter 256: The Emerald Box

Previous Chapter

After a while, the boss came down from the stairs with an object.

Wang Yun took a look and found that what he was holding in his hand was actually a box made of jadeite.

He subconsciously asked, "Boss, what is this box?"

The boss looked at the box in his hand and smiled, "Oh, it's just a handicraft, not real, but the contents are real." ”

As they spoke, the boss had already opened the box, and a pale green bead appeared in front of them.

"What is this bead?" In fact, Wang Yun already had some judgments in his heart at this time, but he still had to ask.

"This is the Pearl of the Night, it's probably ancient!, right?" the boss asked proudly.

Wang Yun nodded, "It's indeed the Night Pearl, but the impurities in this Night Pearl are not very pure, but it still looks very good on the outside, this is a kind of fluorite, which will emit some fluorescence in the dark." ”

"Little brother is really a connoisseur, what do you think this bead is worth?" said the boss with a smile.

Hearing the boss ask, Wang Yun's expression flashed a trace of unnaturalness, he hesitated for a moment, and Hashi said.

"This is indeed an old bead, normally speaking, this kind of bead should be able to sell for seven or eight hundred thousand no problem, but this one, I am afraid that it will only be four or five hundred thousand. ”

The boss looked at Wang Yun, and then looked at the bead suspiciously, he had seen this bead many times, and there was no damage at all, why did the price have to be discounted so much?

"The ancients liked to use some gold and silver jewelry to accompany the funeral, and this kind of night pearl is usually placed in the mouth of the deceased, so it is also called Yin pearl, people in our country are more taboo about this, so this pearl must not be a price with other normal night pearls. Wang Yun explained.

It's just that after listening to Wang Yun's explanation, the boss didn't accept it even more.

Even Feng Yunan was puzzled, how did Wang Yun know that this bead was a yin bead for funeral.

"What is the basis for saying that this bead is a yin bead?" asked the boss.

"After the bead is held in the mouth, the upper and lower ends are clamped by the palate and tongue, and the blood on the corpse or the rotting flesh will have a certain effect on the color of the bead. ”

After Wang Yun finished speaking, the boss and Feng Yunan went to the bead to take a look, and sure enough, they found that there were two places on the bead that were different in color from other places.

"Really!" said the boss in shock.

Seeing the boss's surprised look, Wang Yun continued, "This kind of bead also has a name in ancient times, called the corpse bead or the corpse bead, as the name suggests, I want to use this bead to give the corpse, so that it does not appear to have any corpse changes, but there is also a saying that it is to keep the corpse from decaying and to keep the deceased alive." ”

"In some old zombie films in China, this kind of bead often appears, and the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty also put a night pearl in her mouth after her death, this bead has not yet appeared, if someone really touches the bead she used, the price may not be affected, and it may increase many times. ”

Hearing what Wang Yun said so much, the shopkeeper's eyes widened little by little, and he didn't know what to say until the back.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "It seems that the little brother is very proficient in antiques, what do you think of this bead? If you want, I will sell it to you for 400,000 yuan!"

Note is a businessman, more particular about those things than ordinary people, and the boss is now very sure that this bead is a yin bead, and he can't wait to make a move immediately.

Wang Yun saw his taboo appearance and said with a smile, "How can I say that this is also jewelry, or ancient, but it's useless for me to hold it, or you can sell me this box, although I have filled this kind of beads, but I don't care very much." ”

When the boss saw that Wang Yunzhuzi didn't want it, but wanted a box, he suddenly became a little vigilant, could it be that there was anything else to say about this box?

Wang Yun looked at the boss's cautious appearance, and said with a smile, "I have a sworn enemy who often stumbles on me, and I plan to use this box to decorate something for him, and when he thinks he gets a bargain, I will tell him what this box has packed before, and his mood gap will definitely be big at that time." ”

Feng Yunan heard Wang Yun say this, and felt that this kind of behavior was really harmful, but she quickly reacted that Wang Yun deliberately said this in order to let the boss sell this thing to him, after all, as far as she knew, Wang Yun was not a mortal enemy.

Seeing Wang Yun say this, the boss pondered for a while and said, "Although I am a handicraft, I am also made of jadeite, if you want it, take 60,000 yuan." ”

"This is a Yin bead, besides, I'm just trying to anger others, it's not worth it if it's too expensive, I think it's up to 30,000. ”

"I received this box at the time for more than 70,000 yuan, if I hadn't filled this bead, I would definitely not have sold it cheaply, if you wanted it at least 40,000 yuan, otherwise I would still keep this bead and sell it together when the time comes." The boss said.

Seeing that the boss was so insistent, Wang Yun had no choice but to say, "Okay, 40,000 is 40,000!"

After coming out of the store, Feng Yunan asked curiously, "This jade box is really good-looking, but after all, it has been filled with yin beads, which is somewhat unlucky!"

Wang Yun said with a smile, "It depends on what you think, just like I just said, if the bead is the one in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi, will everyone still feel unlucky? And this box is an antique, it should be from the Qing Dynasty, maybe it is the box used by the ladies at that time to hold some rouge gouache." ”

Feng Yunan had already guessed that the box was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be a leak, and immediately asked, "Tell me, how did you find out that this is an antique?"

"This box is also a big open object, the carving on it is very fine, and the modern carving process is not much different, if I didn't learn some jade carving, I'm afraid I can't see it, so the boss said that this box is just a handicraft, I thought about picking it up. Wang Yun explained.

Feng Yunan continued to ask, "What about the night pearl, is it really a yin pearl, or did you deliberately say so in order to pick up this box." ”

"I didn't talk nonsense about that bead, it was indeed a yin bead. Wang Yunzheng said.

Hearing him say this, Feng Yunan couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing her so scared, Wang Yun lowered his head and smiled.

This jade box is still an ice seed, which is really a good harvest.
