Chapter 1: The Jade Bracelet (3)
As soon as she got into the car, Zhao Lin smiled and took out a small cloth bag from her handbag. "Beauty, this is a token of love from the master. "I took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a jade bracelet. From the outside, this jade bracelet is very ordinary, and there is no carved pattern on the outside, but it seems to have been caressed countless times, and it is exceptionally smooth. When you put it on your hand, you can feel a cool breath spread from your palm to your heart.
Holding this jade bracelet, I suddenly felt that the same dream I had had in the last few days gradually became clearer. A handsome man in white beckoned to me: "Come, let's wander the world together." In a trance, the man seemed to have a different face. "What am I not good enough about?" he didn't speak, but I could hear him...
"Alas, no, you won't be moved stupid, right?" Zhao Lin's words interrupted my thoughts.
"Ah, no, but this jade bracelet is really good, I like it very much. "I rubbed this jade bracelet and couldn't put it down. "I bought it in an antique shop in Yunnan, and when I saw this jade bracelet, I felt that it belonged to you. ”
"Why?" I asked, confused. "Because it is as simple and ordinary as you on the outside, but on the inside it has a soul as pure and elegant as jade. Zhao Lin said faintly. She slowly put the jade bracelet on my right wrist and whispered to me, "You have to take good care of it." ”
Just when I was at a loss, the taxi driver coughed dryly: "Two young ladies, the too expensive casserole shop has arrived." "We hurriedly checked out and got out of the car. But I can't keep the scene in my mind, Zhao Lin is too unfamiliar, but it feels very familiar......
Sure enough, it was the weekend, and the casserole shop was full of people. We managed to find a seat where no one was there. "Yaoyao, what kind of casserole do you want to eat?" Zhao Lin seemed to have forgotten all about what had just happened, and beckoned me to order. And I had no interest in eating.
"Huh?" a middle-aged man who was waiting for a seat next to him suddenly came to our table and seemed to have found something.
"What are you doing, uncle, didn't you see that we were ordering? There are already people at this table!" Yaoyao thought that the middle-aged man was here to grab a seat, so her tone was a little stiff.
"Oh, miss, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I was just more interested in the bracelets that this young lady was wearing, because I loved collecting, so I paid more attention to these collectible objects. ”
"Oh, you're a collector, you must be a connoisseur, please take a seat, just ask you to appraise the color of this jade bracelet I bought." As soon as he heard that the other party was a collector, Zhao Lin became interested and hurriedly urged him to identify the color of this jade bracelet.
After taking the jade bracelet I handed over, the visitor took out an optical magnifying glass from his bosom and began to look at the jade bracelet carefully.
"Hey, what is the color of this jade bracelet?" After a long time, Zhao Lin was a little impatient to wait.
"In terms of fineness, the jade used in this jade bracelet is carved from the relatively low quality jade in Hetian jade. The middle-aged man took off his magnifying glass and returned the jade bracelet to me.
"Then this jade bracelet is not very valuable?" Zhao Lin was a little unhappy.
"That's not it, although the color of this jade bracelet is a little worse, but it has been made for a long time, and the jade is fragile, and it is not easy to keep it for such a long time. ”
"And how long has it been since it was made?" his words intrigued both of us.
"It's hard to say, because I'm just a hobby, and I don't have special testing equipment, but judging from the pattern on the appearance of the jade bracelet, it should be no less than hundreds of years. ”
"What?" Zhao Lin and I were very surprised by this answer. The other party saw our confusion and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket again, allowing us to take a closer look at the appearance of this jade bracelet. Through the magnifying glass, I saw that the appearance of the jade bracelet was indeed not smooth, but had some extremely fine white lines, and Zhao Lin also discovered this. "Those lines are left when the jade bracelet was carved. "Zhao Lin and I were amazed.
"Dare to ask where you bought this jade bracelet?"
"Two days ago, I went to Yunnan to shop at a stall. Zhao Lin was trying to guess the pattern carved on the jade bracelet back then, and while observing it with a magnifying glass, he casually answered the other party's question.
"Oh, is it?Yunnan is rich in Burmese jade, Burmese jade and Hetian jade are very different, how did this Hetian jade end up in Yunnan?" the middle-aged man was a little puzzled.
"I don't know who brought it. Zhao Lin returned the magnifying glass to the other party and replied with a big grin.
"Hey, I said do you want to buy our things?" Zhao Lin suddenly seemed to remember something, "Tell you, we don't sell this thing." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I won't take what people love, but jade is humane, the ancients believed that jade is a holy thing, and the so-called Changhong Huabi shows that the ancients respected jade." The other party paused and said sincerely: "Miss, you have a relationship with this piece of jade, this piece of jade has been passed down since ancient times, it is really not easy, please treat it well." With that, he took his leave.
"I don't think that person is weird. Zhao Lin, who had already listened to the stupidity, muttered. "I think you're weird, you've been sitting for half an hour, why haven't you ordered?"
It was already close to ten o'clock after eating, and although Zhao Lin invited me to go to karaoke with me, I still declined her kindness. I've been sleeping hard lately, and I'm under a lot of pressure at work, so I really want to take a good rest. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, I suddenly felt that my sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and I couldn't fall asleep over and over. He took out the jade bracelet and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.
This jade bracelet that has been handed down for a long time is actually lucky to belong to me today, is it really fate in our previous life? I rubbed this piece of jade on my skin, feeling the slightest coolness it transmitted. Thinking of the middle-aged man I saw tonight who said that "jade leads to human nature", I couldn't help but sigh that if this piece of jade was really as he said, it could understand human nature and tell me about its past and present lives.
Slowly, I felt a strong sense of sleepiness swept over, Zhao Lin in the taxi, the joy of seeing the jade bracelet for the first time, the words of the middle-aged man, and the men who appeared in their sleep before passed through my mind like a movie. I was physically and mentally exhausted, but my mind was still running at high speed, and this paradoxical feeling made me feel the urge to shout. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't stop my mind from racing, I wanted to sit up, but I couldn't control my weak body. When I felt that I could not bear it anymore, the hazy world seemed to have a power outage, and I fell into endless darkness, and the last thing I felt was a chill coming from my right wrist......
