Chapter 201: The bead has nine songs
As the saying goes, if there is no yang, you can't look at jade, and you can see beauty under the moon. This is not only an ancient admonition, but also an axiom recognized by the gemstone world. Only when the sun is sufficient, can you identify whether the jade contains impurities.
However, Wang Guan is now doing the opposite, looking at the jade seal in the moonlight, but it has a unique charm. After watching with great interest for a while, he continued to take out the peach blossom cup and the hibiscus porcelain bowl and place them next to the jade seal.
The best quality porcelain has always been called fake jade. Mao porcelain has obviously reached this standard, under the illumination of the moonlight, the luster emitted by the white porcelain fetus can compete with the jade seal, not inferior at all.
At this time, Wang Guan was not satisfied, so he took out Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot and placed it with jade seal and porcelain porcelain. However, due to the difference in fetal quality, the luster emitted by the glass-textured inner painting pot is relatively inferior.
Of course, there is no denying it. Looking at the delicate plum blossom mural in the inner painting pot under the moonlight, the hazy scenery is more poetic.
"A good thing is a good thing, and no matter when you watch it, it's pleasing to the eye."
Originally, Wang Guan also wanted to take out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife and compare it with a few things on the bed. But thinking that the knife is a murder weapon may not spoil the mood a little, so I dispelled this idea.
However, Wang Guan immediately thought of the big pearl, and hurriedly took out the brocade box in the corner of the suitcase.
After opening the brocade box, Wang Guan held the round big pearl in the palm of his hand. At this moment, the beads seem to have an infinite attraction. Attracted a piece of moonlight. Under the soft light of snow, his palms became white.
The beads are placed side by side with several items on the bed, among which the light of the beads is the most dazzling, faintly suppressing the luster of jade seals and porcelain.
In an instant, Wang Guancai finally understood the word jewelry, and it was indeed described very accurately. And I know why women are so interested in jewelry that shines. Because at this time, he also felt a little heartbeat.
Wang Guan watched carefully. Gradually, it was impossible to tell whether the light emitted by several things was the reflection of moonlight. Or their own luster.
Thinking of this, Wang Guan's heart moved, and he casually turned off the incandescent light in the room.
Moment. The room was dark, and then when Wang Guan's eyes were used to it, he could immediately see the light of the jade seal, the porcelain and the beads intertwined with the bright moonlight, intertwining a brilliant and brilliant light.
Such a scene left an indelible impression on Wang Guan. In a way, this has also become one of his beliefs to go further on the road of collecting.
At the same time, Wang Guan was a bit like a greedy miser, threw himself on the bed, hugged a few items in his arms, and couldn't put them down.
A while. When Wang Guan was playing with the beads, he felt a little tired from the lying position, so he naturally turned over and lay up frontally, and raised the beads slightly with his arms to let the beads meet the moonlight. Reflecting a brilliant brilliance.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Wang Guan noticed that the beads reflected in the moonlight seemed to have a sinuous texture. At first, he thought it was his own delusion, but after careful inspection, he found that it was inside the bead. There really is such a shadow.
"What's going on?"
Wang Guan hurriedly turned over and sat up, held the beads in his hand and observed them carefully, only to see that the beads were round and bright, the luster was bright and very crystal clear, and there were any twists and turns.
"It's impossible to be mistaken."
Wang Guan frowned, lay down again, and held the beads high to reflect the moonlight. In an instant, a curvy shadow texture appeared on the inside of the bead.
"Invisible Crack ......"
For a moment, Wang Guan immediately thought of this possibility. It is felt that this pearl has been squeezed by external forces, which has caused some hidden cracks to occur inside.
"It's a pity." Wang Guan frowned slightly.
The horror of the invisible crack is clear to Wang Guan. Don't look at this bead is safe and sound now, but I don't know when the crack inside the bead will spread, causing the whole bead to naturally crack and turn into pieces.
However, Wang Guan also felt a little strange, after all, invisible cracks generally appear in jade, crystal, and the like. The pearl is formed by the secretion of the mussel, and the inside of the bead should be very tight. Under normal circumstances, if the pearl is compressed by a huge external force, it is generally broken directly, and it is difficult to appear invisible cracks.
Wang Guan was puzzled and continued to shake his head in regret.
Of course, he didn't suspect that the Wu family father and son deliberately fooled themselves with this pearl with invisible cracks. After all, pearls are opaque, and it is difficult to detect the inside of pearls unless they are scanned with a professional instrument, or if they simply lie in bed and look at the light like yourself.
Besides, the father and son of the Wu family are sincere in making amends, where do they dare to play any tricks. Otherwise, if Yu Feibai was angry, he would bring ruin to their Wu family. Such a consequence, the Wu family father and son could not afford it, and they would never dare to try.
"It is estimated that the thing may not have been bought by the Wu family's father and son, but a bribe given to Wu Zixiong by others."
Wang Guan sighed secretly, feeling that he was a little unlucky, if he didn't find the invisible crack in the bead, then he could sell the bead at a certain time, or give it to someone else.
But now, knowing that there is a problem inside the beads, whether it is selling or giving away, Wang Guan feels that it is a little inappropriate. After all, my heart is still not dark enough.
While sighing, Wang Guan turned on his special ability, ready to see how serious the invisible crack in the bead was. If the crack is not serious, it will have some impact on the price at most, and it will not be greatly discounted.
However, at the moment when Wang Guan used his special ability to stare at the beads, a brilliant purple-gold treasure light, like the dazzling rays of the sun at noon, completely dazzled his eyes.
After a long while, Wang Guan gradually came back to his senses, and his heart was pleasantly surprised. He always thought that this bead was a modern product and never thought of opening the special ability to view. I didn't expect him to look away.
From the purple-gold treasure light emanating from the bead, Wang Guan could be sure that the history of this bead was very long, even older than the era of the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife.
But then the problem arises.
As far as Wang Guan knows, pearls generally turn into ordinary yellow after a few decades. And it loses its beautiful and characteristic pearl luster. Even if there are some ways to regain the crystalline, brilliant and attractive color of the pearl. However, this method also comes at a cost, as the pearl wears away the fine shell on the surface.
But it has been passed down for thousands of years. The beads are still so crystal clear, so it's a bit strange.
Or maybe a thousand years ago, the pearl was the size of a fist. However, after being passed down from generation to generation, it has become the current shape with a diameter of two or three centimeters......
Wang Guan thought wildly, and only after a moment did he concentrate and continue to use his special ability to look at the beads in his hand.
At a glance, Wang Guan immediately found that there was indeed a crack in the inside of the bead. But this crack is very strange, and it seems to be very regular.
"It's weird."
Wang Guan was completely stunned. You must know that invisible cracks are never regular, and when they crack, they are like knocking open the shell of a hard-boiled egg, and patches of chaotic lines like spider webs appear.
However. Wang could see clearly that the cracks inside the beads were clearly a line from beginning to end, but this line was a little winding.
"One, two. Three...... Seven, eight, nine! ”
At this time, Wang Guan calculated and found that the internal lines of the beads had nine bends. After coming to this conclusion, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had associated something.
"Beads...... Nine bend ...... Nine Curved Beads! ”
In an instant, Wang Guan blurted out. The chaotic thoughts were straightened out, and there was a kind of joy in seeing the clouds and the sun.
"In spring and autumn, there are nine songs in the pearls, so that the ants can pass it."
Wang Guan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately thought of the allusion of Confucius's jewel piercing ants.
Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was trapped when he passed through the state of Chen, and Dr. Chen sent someone to send a pearl of nine songs for Confucius to pass through with a thread, and if he could not pass through, he would not lift the siege. Confucius was very clever and tied the silk thread to the ant, and lured it with honey grease, so that the ant passed through the Jiuqu bead and finally got out of trouble.
When he first saw this allusion, Wang Guan naturally thought that Jiuquzhu was just a legend. But now seeing the orderly nine-curved cracks inside the beads in his hand, he couldn't help but doubt his faith.
The reason why the belief is suspicious is because of the legendary nine-curved beads, which are connected at both ends. But now the bead in Wang Guan's hand only exists inside the bead.
"Is it just a coincidence?"
Wang Guan frowned, and concentrated on observing more intently.
There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. After getting serious, Wang Guan immediately found that the two ends of the nine curves inside the bead seemed to have been blocked by someone with a substance similar to the bead itself.
Due to the small end of the hole, and the clogged material is also very well concealed, it can be said that it is a perfect fit. After all, the beads themselves are opaque, and the so-called crystal clear is just a description, and if the toothpick-sized hole on the bead is blocked with the same substance, then the naked eye will not see the clue at all.
After discovering this trick, Wang Guanxi couldn't help but conclude, and basically concluded that this bead was the legendary Jiuqu bead.
At this moment, although Wang Guan wanted to take a thin needle and pick up the material that was clogged on the beads. But he really doesn't have the needle on hand, and it's not good to borrow it from Qian Lao and Gao Dequan.
There was no way, Wang Guan could only hold the nine-song beads and toss and turn all night. One night, I spent most of my time in a state of insomnia with excessive excitement, and I fell asleep in a daze until dawn.
When Wang Guan opened his eyes, he found that it was already more than nine o'clock. Then I got up lazily, brushed my teeth and washed my face in a daze, and was completely awakened under the stimulation of cold water.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan put away the nine curved beads, hid them carefully, and then opened the door and went downstairs. After arriving in the hall, he immediately saw Qian Lao and Gao Dequan drinking tea in the hall.
