Chapter 151: What is the use of the box
Xu Yilin was a little embarrassed by Mao Zhu, and hurriedly said, "It's an old jade pendant." ”
When Tang Yi heard this, he immediately opened the box. The box is very easy to open, because it is closed up and down.
As a result, when I opened it, it was a piece of jade, a Maitreya pendant. According to the common understanding that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, it is not bad to give it to Xu Yilin.
Tang Yi and Mao Zhu's faces both had expressions of disappointment, mainly because the box was too valuable, and their expectations for the contents of the box were too high, but it turned out to be an ordinary jade pendant, and at a glance, it was definitely not an old jade pendant.
Moreover, at first glance, this pendant looks like the ice species is floating with green flowers and a good water head, so you can't help but take a closer look.
Tang Yi frowned, and he didn't know what to say for a while. This jade Maitreya pendant is a B goods jadeite, if it sounds good, it is not natural, if it is ugly, simply use the word "fake" to be more happy.
Explain B goods, there is a very vivid saying, the first letter of the English word bathe (flushed) is B, so the washed jadeite is called B goods. It is still a jadeite raw material, but because the texture is not good, there are impurities in it, so it is washed off.
How to rinse it? In fact, it is soaked with strong acid, and finally corroded and dissolved impurities. The question is, the impurities are gone, what about the cracks and voids that are corroded by strong acids? Generally, the resin is injected by vacuum negative pressure method, which is not a general material, and the refractive index is close to that of natural jadeite, so it is not easy to identify after polishing.
This B jadeite is not worth much, and it is not good for the human body to wear it.
Tang Yi directly wondered, he used such an awesome Qi Nan agarwood box, and actually put a piece of B jadeite in it, which one is this going to sing?
This is simply forcing people to sell their pearls!
"Is there a problem with the jade pendant?" Xu Yilin saw that Tang Yi was silent, and asked a little nervously.
"I heard you say jade pendant, it always feels weird, this is a jade pendant. Do you know where your boyfriend bought it from? Tang Yi thought for a while and asked.
"I don't know. But it should be a shopping mall. Xu Yilin thought for a while and said.
"Since someone sent you, it's a heart, why do you have to appraise it!" Tang Yi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed.
"I gave it to me yesterday, I left it in my bag, isn't it a coincidence!" Xu Yilin had already guessed a few points when she heard Tang Yi's tone, "Okay, I'll just wear it and play with it." ”
Tang Yi smiled bitterly, thinking that this good person was really not good, and said: "Forget it, you still don't wear it, I tell you, this is a piece of B jadeite, which has been corroded by acid and filled with resin, and it is not good for people to wear it." ”
"Huh?" Xu Yilin's eyes widened.
Since Tang Yi said it, he simply stopped hiding it, "I'm surprised, your boyfriend used such a valuable box to actually contain a B jade!" ”
"He's not my boyfriend yet!" Xu Yilin defended again, probably feeling a little embarrassed, and then explained: "He may not understand jadeite, and he bought it because he thought it was beautiful." ”
"And where did this box come from?" Tang Yi picked up the box again.
This box is made of a whole piece of Qi Nan agarwood. The lid and the main body are likely to be made by first dividing a whole piece of Qi Nan agarwood into two, and then cutting and carving them separately. Don't look at the box, which is only the size of a cigarette box, but at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was already a luxury to make such a high-quality piece of Qinan agarwood into a box.
Qi Nan agarwood is relatively soft, a light knife may be "into the wood for three points", so in the cutting and carving, it can be said that a knife can not be wrong, a knife can not be deep, very test the knife work. And this box, neat and stylish, beautiful and exquisite, can be seen in the skill of the maker with a knife.
In the center of the bottom of the box, there are longitudinal slender grooves, which are slightly deepened along the texture of the agarwood. And in two of the four corners, there are two circular depressions. Tang Yi measured the size, this round depression is very suitable for the ring. On the other side of the four corners, there is a small rectangular depression dug along the wall of the box.
Could it be a jewelry box?
It's not like ・・・・・・
"I remembered. He said that those jewelry boxes were too cheesy, and found an old box from home, which seemed to be his grandmother's dowry, and said that the old jade pendant had to be packed in an old box. Xu Yilin said suddenly.
"Old Jade Pendant?" Tang Yixin said, your boyfriend is really good, he dares to say that a piece of B jade is an old jade pendant, even if he doesn't understand it, he can't be so self-righteous!
In fact, in such a huge group of antique jade lovers, there are really many people who know nothing but love to make a final statement.
Tang Yi picked up the box and handed it to Xu Yilin, "What do you think this box is for?" ”
Xu Yilin looked at the depression made at the bottom of the box, "Just dig it, right?" Anyway, it looks like a woman's thing! ”
Tang Yi couldn't cry or laugh, it was really like a mountain, just now he had already told her about the preciousness of this Qi Nan agarwood, such a valuable thing, made such a delicate box, can you dig it casually? However, the latter sentence is still somewhat reliable, and it does seem to be something used by women.
Because Xu Yilin took the main body of the box, Tang Yi picked up the lid of the box again and looked at it. Tang Yi's focus just now was on the main body of the box, and he didn't look at the lid carefully. This time, he carefully examined the inside of the lid, but suddenly found that there seemed to be two lines of small characters faintly engraved vertically, because the box was very old, and a lot of putty had accumulated on the inside of the lid, so these two lines of small characters were basically covered, and it was really not easy to pay attention if you didn't look carefully.
Tang Yi found a bristle brush, gently brushed off the putty, and the two lines of regular script were clearly displayed:
The clothes are all over the world, and the source is the yellow mother.
This sentence is not difficult to understand literally, that is, the clothes and quilts of people all over the world come from "Yellow Mother", and they are all provided by "Yellow Mother".
The tone is a little big.
Who is this "Yellow Mother"? Why do you have such a word engraved on such a box? What exactly is this box for?
Tang Yi was pondering, Xu Yilin had already put down the main body of the box, her curiosity was not as deep as Tang Yi, since this box was so valuable, and the jade was a B product, she was even thinking about whether to return the gift, on the grounds that the box was too valuable, so that there was no need to mention that the jade was a B car, and it would not hurt the other party's self-esteem too much.
Seeing Xu Yilin put down the box, Mao picked it up and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized: "What should I be, what is this box for, can't you see it?" ”
"What's it for?" Tang Yi and Xu Yilin asked in unison. To be honest, they really didn't see it.
