Wuqin took the box, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and then reached out and touched the inside of the box carefully. There's no mechanism, and there's no special smell. ”

Xue Mingyu nodded. But to be careful, she just used her eyes to explore the box in front of her. If it's really agate, it's really Zijin who said that the quality is excellent. And this appearance, I'm afraid that even Hongfu, who doesn't understand jade, can also get a glimpse of something unusual. The string of agate in the box, all of them are as big as a thumb, the size is very symmetrical, and the luster is very clear, you can see the beautiful band, the color, at first glance it is red, look closely, you will feel that this is not red, but too red and too red, red a little purple, yes, it should be red with purple.

"Thousands of kinds of agate and ten thousand kinds of jade", there are many types of agate, but red agate is the most authentic color, people who understand agate, will know that the folk have "agate is not red and poor", the ancients also called agate "red jade" or "red qiong" is to take the meaning of "red". The ancients once used the color of blood as a metaphor for the color of agate, which can be extremely vivid.

Wuqin saw that Xue Mingyu was looking carefully, so he reached out and picked up the agate Buddha beads from the box and put them in the palm of his hand, so that Xue Mingyu could take a closer look. Xue Mingyu felt a pang in his heart, this string of eighteen beads should be from the same agate rough stone, otherwise the color and luster would not be so harmonious. Xue Mingyu's eyes narrowed, and his sharp vision caught that in the agate hit by each thumb, there were closed holes, which seemed to contain water. "Water urchin agate!" These four words popped up in Xue Mingyu's mind.

I didn't expect her to be able to see water urchin agate, and in ancient times, she could come into contact with all kinds of jade jewelry, and Xue Mingyu collected a lot of famous classics about jewelry when she was a child. She remembers that it is recorded in the classics that water urchin agate is the most precious variety of agate, characterized by closed cavities in agate that contain water.

If someone else gets water urchin agate, and it is eighteen, I am afraid they will be reluctant to carve it. Because as soon as it is carved, it produces discarded debris. However, the eighteen pieces held in the hands of the flawless are carved with fine send-off Guanyin outside the round beads, and the notches as thin as hair are vivid. If it is really a request, such a string of Buddhist beads is simply wonderful! Because agate has always been known as one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, it has been used as a ward off evil spirits and amulets since ancient times, and long-term wearing helps to nourish qi and blood and prolong life.

It seems that Zijin has put a lot of thought into it; Xue Mingyu was not dazzled by the strange treasure in front of him, but thought about Zijin's intentions. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Xue Mingyu observed every detail, and his gaze returned to coldness, "Put it away and put it in the warehouse." ”

Wuqin was stunned for a moment, she thought to herself, or the princess was thoughtful, she was going to be swayed by the jewels in the box, and thought that since the princess accepted it, even if she didn't wear it on her body, she would keep it for fun.

Wuqin turned around and went to the warehouse, and Bieyun came in quickly from the door, "Princess, Mama Wei is here." ”

Mama Wei? Xue Mingyu's heart tightened, could it be that there was news from the south, and Qin Junxiu had been gone for seven days. "Hurry up and ask Mama Wei to come." She got up anxiously and went to wait under the porch.
