Just as Qin Shuyu was sitting at the original jade table in the living room of the inner hall, sighing at the elegance of the interior here, a majestic voice had come from outside, and said:

"Ning Moudao Today, why do you always hear magpies flying around in this courtyard, it turns out that it is the hero of Qin, Young Master Qin, who is here, which really makes the humble house shine. ”

As he spoke, Ning Wanbang, who was slightly rich, walked into the living room with a laugh.

When he looked at Qin Shuyu, the brown pupils were slightly constricted, and his eyes were quite sharp.

As if to see through Qin Shuyu's thoughts.

Qin Shuyu stood up quietly, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Ning everyone is in trouble, here is this, there are just a few questions I want to ask Ning everyone, and I hope to give advice." ”

Ning Wanbang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, it's easy to say!"

Immediately, he looked at the woman in the Chinese dress holding his arm, and said, "Madam, you take Mrs. Qin to the store for a stroll, and by the way, I will order the kitchen to prepare lunch, and after I finish talking with Young Master Qin, I have to have a good drink with this young hero." ”

Hearing this, Xu Qingyu's blue eyes couldn't help but light up, and she was happy in her heart.

It's one thing to be afraid of damaging expensive jade ornaments, and it's one thing to be afraid that you can't afford to lose them, and it's another thing to want to see them.

The woman agreed, and went outside with Xu Qingyu, who was full of interest.

Seeing this, Ning Wanbang pointed to the stone bench and said, "Young Master Qin, please sit down." ”

Immediately, he glanced at the old butler and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the old butler also smiled and sat down.

Ning Wanbang said: "If Young Master Qin has something to say, even if he speaks, Ning must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

Qin Shuyu said: "The Ning family is a well-known treasure connoisseur in the market, and for more than ten years, there has never been a time to look away on jade. In the next few days, I have a whim on how to identify the quality of jade, so I would like to ask you for some advice. ”

Ning Wanbang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ning Mou has only been in contact with jade for a longer period of time than ordinary people, and he dare not be an expert." ”

As soon as he spoke, he looked at Qin Shuyu and the housekeeper, and said, "However, since Young Master Qin is interested in jade, then... Let's discuss it together,"

Qin Shuyu immediately smiled and said, "I can't ask for it." ”

The old housekeeper also smiled: "The old man also came to join in the fun." ”

Qin Shuyu asked, "I don't know what kind of discussion method Ning everyone is going to have?"

Ning Wanbang smiled but did not speak.

He took out a rolled animal skin from his bosom and placed it in the middle of the table, and immediately, carefully spreading it out, leaking out two pieces of mutton fat white jade rough that were almost identical except for their shape.

He pointed to the jade, looked at Qin Shuyu and the old housekeeper, and said, "Who will take a look first, what is the difference between these two rough stones." ”

Is this a temptation?

Qin Shuyu didn't panic, looked at the old housekeeper, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about the method of identifying jade, I don't know where to start, or the old gentleman will invite it first, and when the time comes, I will draw a scoop in the next gourd." ”

The old butler was not polite, he arched his hand and said, "Then the old decay will be ugly." ”

As he spoke, he leaned down and looked carefully at the pair of white jade rough stones.

After a while, his white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said: "These two pieces of jade are like clotted fat, the edges are slightly yellow, and the luster around them is warm and delicate. From this point of view, they are all good jade, and there is no difference. ”

After that, he held a jade stone between his fingers in each hand, rubbed it lightly for a moment, and muttered: "The smoothness of the two pieces of jade is very sufficient, and it is almost the same. ”

Suddenly, Ning Wanbang pushed the two porcelain cups filled with water in advance in front of the old butler, who took advantage of the situation to pinch the jade, put it into the water, soaked it for a while, and then took it out again.

On the two round pieces of white jade, there was not a single drop of water stain left.

Seeing this, the old man's forehead wrinkled even deeper, and said, "The oiliness of the two pieces of jade is also very good, and when they are immersed in water, they don't stick to the water. ”

Ning Wanbang watched for a long time, and did not express any opinions. Qin Shuyu was engrossed in staring at the old housekeeper's every movement, and remembering what he said.

Later, he can't make jokes, and he can't even say a word that means he knows something.

And the old butler's mentality was obviously a little impatient, and the horizontal lines on his forehead were all over the place.

He understood that there must be a difference between the two pieces of mutton fat white jade given by his master, but after these few actions to identify jade, he had not found any difference.

Now, only one last action remains.

The old man got up and came to a wooden table, lifted the lampshade on it, took away the candle that was shining with fire, turned around and walked back quickly, and placed the candle between the two pieces of jade.

Immediately, he sat down, held his breath, stared at a pair of eyes that still had a fine light, and leaned over to observe.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two pieces of jade seemed to have opened their minds, and inhaled the glowing candlelight shrouded in the table into their bodies, and their bodies began to glow with a soft pale yellow light.

Hao Ran, the performance of the two pieces of jade is still the same.

The old man suddenly sat on the stone bench and said dejectedly: "Master, Qin Gongzi, the old man must be really dizzy, and he can't see the difference between these two pieces of jade." ”

Ning Wanbang smiled and said softly: "The old butler doesn't have to be discouraged, even it took me two full days to find the slightest difference. ”

Hearing this, the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, looked at it for a while, and then sat up straight again, feeling a lot more relieved.

In terms of treasure appreciation, he is far worse than his master.

Seeing this, Ning Wanbang looked at Qin Shuyu, who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Young Master Qin might as well give it a try." ”

Qin Shuyu said: "The color and feel of these two jades, the old gentleman has already said very clearly, very detailed, and there will be no axes in the next class, just take a look at it." ”

After speaking, he stretched his head closer to the jade, stared at the dark eyes, and looked at it carefully.

In the middle of the eyes, the scarlet light spots that were difficult to see to the naked eye began to wriggle.

In less than a moment, Qin Shuyu suddenly sighed softly and said, "The yellowing light emitted by these two pieces of jade seems to be different. ”

Ning Wanbang's pupils shrank and said, "What's the difference?"

The old butler leaned down his upper body with a "poof", and his eyes fell on the two jade stones again.

Qin Shuyu pointed to the jade on the left side and said, "The light around this jade seems to be a little dimmer. ”

The old butler stared at it for a long time before he raised his head, still frowning deeply, and wondered: "Why can't the old man see it?"

Qin Shuyu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, you might as well take another look." ”

As he spoke, he held a jade stone in each hand and lifted it up by about an inch.

The old butler's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked to find that under the same candlelight, the shadow of the jade on the left side was much lighter, while the shadow on the right side was clearer.

Bang bang!

Seeing this, Ning Wanbang couldn't help but applaud, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, and in less than a moment, Young Master Qin has already discovered the clue, and this eye strength is much stronger than Ning's." ”

Qin Shuyu put down the jade in his hand and said modestly: "Ning everyone praised it falsely, only because he was a layman in Xia and knew in advance that there was indeed a difference between these two jades, so he could focus on looking for it." Unlike the Ning family, they still need to be distracted to identify the quality of this jade. ”

Ning Wanbang sighed: "This is already very difficult, it is enough to prove that Young Master Qin's ability to concentrate and perceive is far beyond ordinary people. ”

The old housekeeper was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "Qin Gongzi is not only amazingly powerful, courageous, even eyesight, but also this delicate mind, so outstanding, no wonder, can convince the hated black tiger in the Black Tiger Village." ”

Qin Shuyu just smiled and responded to the praise of the two seniors.

Ning Wanbang poured a glass of water, took a sip, and the surprise in his heart calmed down, and helped Qin Shuyu and the old housekeeper also pour a cup and push it over together, before he said, "Young Master Qin, do you know why the light and darkness of the two almost identical pieces of jade are different?"

Hearing this, the old housekeeper immediately looked at Qin Shuyu, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.

He knew the reason, but he didn't know, would this Qin Gongzi still give a surprise?

Qin Shuyu took the water cup with both hands, took a sip of it, and said, "I only know that after the candlelight shines on the jade on the left from one side, it directly pierces out from the other side. When it shone on the jade on the right, it was reflected back, and the candlelight superimposed on it made the light of the jade on the right brighter. ”

The old housekeeper nodded frequently when he heard this, and he was convinced of Qin Shuyu.

Ning Wanbang suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "Young Master Qin is really as wise as a torch. ”

Qin Shuyu still just smiled, and then asked, "Maybe this is related to the quality of the jade?"

Ning Wanbang drank the water in the cup in one go, slowly refreshed, and then said: "Yes, to identify the quality of jade, in addition to the color and feel, the lack of water is also an important identification criterion." ”

Qin Shuyu said with a sneering face: "What is the head of water?"

The old housekeeper smiled first: "The water head is the degree of light transmission of the jade." ”

Qin Shuyu asked again: "Is it true that the more water heads, the higher the value of jade." ”

The old housekeeper said: "It's not all, just like the mutton fat white jade on Qin Gongzi's left hand, it belongs to semi-translucent, and this kind of mutton fat jade with light transmission is the best." The one on the right is not as valuable as the one on the left, because the head is insufficient and the light transmission is poor. ”

After pondering for a while, the old butler said again: "As for the jade that Qin Gongzi said, the more abundant the water head and the higher the value, such as gemstones, jadeite and other jade, the higher its transparency, the more precious it is. ”

Qin Shuyu bowed slightly and said: "It turns out that there are so many doorways in the jade, it seems that I have to spend more energy on research and research." ”

Hearing this, Ning Wanbang suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed: "Young Master Qin, if you continue to study, I'm afraid that this Jade Pavilion will be closed." ”

The old housekeeper was also full of helplessness, this Qin Gongzi was too wicked, if he understood the method of jade identification, and then set foot in jade to make a living, what his master said was not alarmist.

Moreover, the recent situation of the Yuanyu Pavilion is already very poor.

Qin Shuyu smiled dryly: "If you say that you just want to choose a good piece of jade for your wife, I don't know if you will believe it?"

Ning Wanbang suddenly frowned and sighed: "Why don't you believe it, why don't you believe it?"
