Chapter 37 The Pearls of the Qing Dynasty
Yuan Wenguan said: "Don't be deceived by him, he is just pretending here, these things are here, you can see which ones are true and which ones are fake." ”
Tang Lao asked Pan Wei: "Is it okay?"
Pan Wei pinched his eyebrows and sighed lightly: "Actually, I have always been a passive person. Please!"
Donald, who got the agreement, took a magnifying glass, and started to look again at the vase, his movements were also very fast, and he finished reading the things in ten minutes, twisting his eyebrows and shaking his head: "It's not really." ”
The middle-aged man's nervous heart was also put down, fortunately there was no real, if it was, he would not have to cry to death.
Ji Yuzhuo and Yuan Xiandong both looked at him worriedly.
Pan Wei gave the two of them a comforting look, and then looked at Yuan Wenguan: "Although I don't have much money to buy other things, I like others to pay for me, and I am a fool if I pay like that." This Buddha bead, it is not called Buddha beads, it is called Chaozhu. ”
Yuan Wenguan looked at Tang Lao, who nodded: "That's right, that's indeed Chaozhu." ”
Pan Wei smiled confidently: "Speaking of this Chaozhu, some people may not know what it is. But I believe that everyone, on TV, must have seen the emperors and queens of the Qing Dynasty, and the beads around their necks are this pearls. ”
Donald was full of smiles, admired Pan Wei very much, and nodded: "Well, you're right." ”
Yuan Wenguan snorted coldly: "Pretend." ”
"Pretending?" Pan Wei looked at Yuan Wenguan and shook his head lightly, "No, if you know how much this pearl is worth, you will say that I am a liar." Yuzhuo, pour water. ”
Ji Yuzhuo poured the mineral water on top of Chaozhu, Pan Wei scrubbed it vigorously, and then peeled off a layer of black skin, revealing the white inside.
Donald's eyes widened, he approached with a magnifying glass in his hand, and exclaimed, "Ivory!"
"Donald has good eyesight. Pan Wei let him look at it, "This is indeed an ivory pearl." In the Qing Dynasty, civil officials with more than five grades and military attaches with more than four grades had to wear court beads, and the material of each person's court beads was different. Moreover, the East Pearl can only be worn by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and other people wear other pearls, such as ivory pearls. ”
When everyone saw him talking, they all stretched their ears and listened carefully.
Tang Lao pointed to him between the pearls and said in surprise: "Outside this pearl, there are layers of beeswax. ”
"Yes, I think that the person who got this string of pearls wanted to hide it, so he wrapped the real body of the ivory with beeswax, and after many years of turning, this string of pearls became like this. ”
Listening to Pan Wei's explanation, Donald was excited, but asked cautiously, "Then how can you prove that this is true?"
Pan Wei smiled: "Donald, first of all, this ivory is real, do you admit it?"
Donald nodded: "After unraveling it, I naturally saw it clearly, it was indeed ivory." Just now the beads were sealed with beeswax, and he didn't realize that this was actually an ivory pearl.
"Look at this again. Pan Wei peeled off the beeswax on the beads and showed it to Donald, "Look at it, what is this?"
Donald took a magnifying glass, almost lying on the pearl and looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Red coral!"
Seeing that Donald was so excited, other people who didn't know the truth were muttering to explain.
Pan Wei smiled at Donald, who shook his head slightly with a wry smile: "You can come?"
The former shook his head lightly and said loudly: "In the Qing Dynasty, the material of the Chaozhu, except for the most expensive Dongzhu, was red coral. The most important thing is, Donald, what color do you see this silk silk?"
Tang Lao didn't dare to speak nonsense at this time: "The silk of the Qing Dynasty emperor and empress dynasty pearl is bright yellow, and the color of the prince county dynasty pearl is golden yellow. This...... It's golden yellow. ”
Pan Wei cracked his mouth and smiled: "Donald Gaojian, this is the golden silk." The longer the Qing Dynasty pearl, the more noble the identity of the person who wore it. And this pearl is 1.7 meters long, so I guess this is the pearl of the prince of the Qing Dynasty. ”
The pearl of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, as soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Yuan Wenguan was as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly jumped up: "You said it is the prince's pearl, that is the prince's pearl?"
He is admitting this in disguise that this pearl is the pearl of a certain prince in the Qing Dynasty.
"Seeing this, there are three strings of beads hanging on the top of the morning beads, which are called memorials. Two strings on the left and one on the right are worn by men. Pan Wei despised Yuan Wenguan, "The pearls worn by Fujin are commemorated by two strings on the right and one on the left. Donald, am I right?"
Donald's heart was turbulent, and his eyes were fixed on the pearl in his hand, and that look was like a beast staring at its prey.
Hearing Pan Wei asking him, he swallowed excitedly: "Yes." This is the pearl of the prince of the Qing Dynasty. ”
With Donald's proof, everyone else was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Pan Wei with envy, amazement, and red eyes.
The middle-aged man's intestines were all remorseful, and he pursed his lips and asked Donald: "Then that, Donald, how much is this pearl worth?"
Donald scolded him angrily: "This is a priceless treasure, how can money be measured." ”
These words made the middle-aged man even have the heart to die, and he cried with a sad face: "Boss, this pearl is my heirloom, I won't sell it." ”
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and grab it, but Pan Wei had a cold smile on his face: "Boss, don't you understand the rules and regulations of the antique street? ”
Pan Wei returned these words to the middle-aged man, and he regretted two lines of tears: "But you only gave me 900 yuan, this is really, really unfair?"
"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, do those who didn't buy antiques from you come to return your things, do you have to return the money to them?"
Pan Wei's words resonated: "That is, if you sell fake ones to us, we will look for you, and you will not return them." Do we have to return it to you if we buy the real thing?"
"That is, the money is cleared, and there will be no refunds, no matter how much you say, it's useless. ”
The middle-aged old man wiped his tears and glared at Pan Wei with red eyes: "Then tell me the truth, how much can this pearl be sold for?"
Pan Wei looked at Donald, and Tang Lao sighed and said, "There was once a string of pearls auctioned for 60 million Hong Kong dollars. And this is still the prince's pearl, which is priceless. If you really want to use silver money, the minimum is 100 million, and there is no upper limit. ”
"Ahh
When the other hawkers heard this, they all looked at the pearl with red eyes, 100 million, and it was sold by a middle-aged man for 900 yuan.
Is......
No, it was the young man who was too scheming, and he clearly saw the value of this string of pearls, but he used the boss's greed for a small price and wanted to sell a little more, so he was stunned and let the family buy it for 900 yuan.
It's just that it's useless to regret it now.
Pan Wei looked lazily at Yuan Wenguan, the latter's face turned the color of pig liver, took out a handful of money, and fell on the middle-aged man who fainted: "Five thousand, is it enough?"
Pan Wei chuckled silently, he spent less than three thousand just now.
One last glance at the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, Pan Wei turned around and left, with a scornful smile on the corner of his mouth.
This middle-aged man has a dead air and a grudge on his body, he is a tomb robber, and this string of pearls must have been brought up by him from below.
The thief who digs up people's graves still thinks how good he is to him?
Hum!
Ji Yuzhuo and Yuan Xiandong were completely stunned, and they really didn't react for a long time.
Until Pan Wei sent Chaozhu to Ji Yuzhuo: "This Chaozhu ......"
"Kids, you wait. Donald caught up, "Little friend, I am not only an antique appraisal expert, but also a member of the National Antique Association." We are very grateful to you if you can donate this string of pearls to the National Museum. ”
Pan Wei refused without changing his face: "Donald, we have been in China for thousands of years, and there are many antiquities, not only our Huaxia, but even those foreign countries also have our Chinese antiquities. If Donald could let the Chinese collectors donate all the antiquities to the museum. If I get back the antiques that have been fished out from foreign countries, I will definitely donate them without saying a word. ”
Donald was embarrassed: "You know, that's a bit difficult. ”
"Donald, I can only say sorry, I won't donate this pearl, but I can assure you that this pearl will be in our China and will not go abroad. Pan Wei assured.
Donald sighed helplessly: "If I want to see and want to borrow, will you borrow it?"
