Chapter 127: The jade pendant will be returned to you
To say that this "Star of China", her rough stone was found in a foreign mine hundreds of years ago, when there were experts to identify, this is the best grade of gem diamond, weighing several thousand carats, until now, this rough is the largest gem diamond found in the world.
Because the rough stone is too large, it needs to be broken into several small pieces. Later, it was cut and polished into many diamonds of different sizes, the largest of which was set in the crown of the royal family of foreign country Y, weighing more than 500 grams. Other diamonds of different sizes are diverted to various countries, because of their preciousness, each country is named after the country, and this diamond in China is called "China Star"
Actually named after the country, it can be seen that the value of this diamond, there are jewelry experts to identify, even the smallest such diamond, I am afraid the value is tens of millions. However, the real value of this "Star of China" is not in the money, because there are dozens of diamonds like this in the world, and there is only one in each country, which is more precious than a national treasure.
It's just that hundreds of years ago, this "Huaxia Star" was just transported to Huaxia not long after, Huaxia had a war, when it was nine foreign countries to besiege Huaxia, after the fall of Huaxia, the treasury was lost, and the "Huaxia Star" kept in the treasury was snatched away, and then this "Huaxia Star" was like evaporating from the world.
Later, when Huaxia put down the war and was in a period of peace, Huaxia also sent people around to inquire about the news of this "Huaxia Star", but because there were people from nine countries looted by Huaxia in those years, no one admitted that they had grabbed the "Huaxia Star", nor could they find out the whereabouts of the "Huaxia Star" at all.
Later, Huaxia was in a period of peaceful development, with the strength of the country, and some laws and regulations have also been revised, and according to the new laws of Huaxia, the "Star of China" is not a national treasure, and the ownership is not limited to the state, that is to say, private individuals are also allowed to collect. And at this time, the "Star of China" finally appeared.
It's just that at this time, the "Huaxia Star" was collected by the nobles of a small country abroad, as a rare treasure named after the country, the desire of Huaxia people for the "Huaxia Star" is self-evident, not only some of the super-rich people in China, but even the Huaxia National Political Axe also sent representatives to that small country, wanting to buy back the "Huaxia Star", and as a result, the nobles of the small country couldn't put down the "Huaxia Star", so that all the Chinese people returned in vain.
For this, the Huaxia political axe is also very helpless, although the "Huaxia Star" is precious, but no matter how valuable, it will not become a diamond worth a thousand gold and go to war, now Huaxia is in a period of stable development, and does not want to start a war with other countries casually.
Although the "Huaxia Star" failed to return to China, the reports about the "Huaxia Star" since then were overwhelming, and pictures and texts about the "Huaxia Star" often appeared in the newspapers. What can appear at this banquet today are some wealthy people from all walks of life, who are naturally fond of jewelry and diamonds, and they are even more yearning for the "Star of China", a treasure that has only been photographed in newspapers.
Now seeing this rare treasure in front of them, everyone in the hall couldn't help but show a look of shock, but soon after the shock, there were doubts: In the past, so many super-rich people in China and even capable people in the two major cities of Beijing and Jinghai were dispatched, and they couldn't buy back this "Huaxia Star", how could their Qiao family have it?
To say that although the Qiao family is powerful in Kyoto City, it is not particularly conspicuous in the two major cities of Beijing and Jinghai, can their Qiao family be more powerful than the super-rich people in Jinghai in Beijing?
Could it be that it's a fake?
Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone in the hall couldn't help but be complicated, "Huaxia Star" is a rare treasure, it is precisely because of its rarity, but there are a lot of counterfeiters, there have been many fakes for so many years, they have seen the so-called "Huaxia Star" many times in some other occasions where rich people gather, but after identification, all of them are fake.
Among the people in the hall, there are also some who are more powerful than Qiao's, once they also worked hard to get the "Huaxia Star", but the result was a failure, they don't want to believe that Qiao's has more means than himself, so thinking about it, they feel that this "Huaxia Star" is a fake.
Qiao Zitong was suspicious when he saw that everyone was shocked, of course he knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care, but asked with a smile: "Do you think this is fake?" ”
Of course, Qiao Zitong knows that this "Huaxia Star" is not fake, and this diamond has indeed always been owned by the nobles of that small country, but coincidentally, their Qiao family has a little business in that small country, and when talking about business, Qiao Zitong's father inadvertently saved the life of the nobleman's family, and the nobleman felt that the life-saving grace could not be reciprocated, so he gave this "Huaxia Star" as a gift.
To say that Xingyun saved Xiang Chaodong's life, Xiang Chaodong decided that only Xingyun would be the first to look forward to it, and Qiao Zitong's father saved the surname of the noble family of the small country, and the nobleman returned with the "Star of China", but it was not a shocking move.
Qiao Zitong also knows that there are too many fakes of the domestic "Huaxia Star", if it is suddenly offered at the banquet, there must be people who doubt its authenticity, he has long expected this, so he has also made sufficient preparations: "Hehe, I believe that although you have not seen the 'Huaxia Star', but you have some understanding of the Huaxia Star, the 'Huaxia Star' has a special identification method, I believe you also know, I will identify it for you now." ”
As he spoke, he commanded the entourage behind him, and the attendant stretched out his index finger, squeezed his thumb and middle finger, and his index finger broke a gap, and blood gushed out.
"Ahh It's just that the people in the hall who have seen the fake "Huaxia Star" show a calm look, they have seen this identification method.
I saw that Sui Cong put his hand in the sky above the "Huaxia Star", and let the blood of Sui's index finger drip on the "Huaxia Star".
At this time, a surprising scene happened: after those few drops of blood fell on the "Huaxia Star", they did not drip down with the trend, but gradually disappeared, and were actually absorbed by the "Huaxia Star".
"Huaxia Star" was pure and transparent, exuding a faint reddish hue, and now after absorbing blood, the red hue gradually becomes thicker, exuding a blood-red light, but this thick light is fleeting, and after the red blood is evaporated, it will return to its original appearance.
"Blood Mist Light! This is indeed the real 'Star of China'! Then someone screamed.
"Huaxia Star" is a peculiar gemstone cut, with its own special identification method: when the blood is dropped on the diamond, the blood will be absorbed by the diamond, and then turn into the light of the red mist, this phenomenon is called "the light of the blood mist", so this identification method is also called "the light of the blood mist".
And all the fakes of the "Huaxia Star" that appeared in Huaxia before, some super simulation works, even treasure experts can't see it, but when the "blood mist light" is identified, the truth and falsehood can be distinguished.
Now that the "Star of China" has really appeared the phenomenon of "Light of Blood Mist", no one in the hall now doubts its authenticity, and some people rush to this side, with a look of envy to see the style of the "Star of China".
"Is this really the 'Star of China'? Hehe, I can't imagine that I Mu Qianshan has lived for most of my life, and I can really see the treasure with my own eyes, hehe, this trip is worth it. ”
Mu Qianshan from the capital stared at the "Huaxia Star", he was a person who wanted to save face, he thought that the calligraphy and painting collection worth millions of dollars he gave should be the most precious gift in the audience today, and now this Qiao Zitong will give the "Huaxia Star", and his gift will be overshadowed.
As soon as he saw everyone's expressions, Qiao Zitong knew that the real "Huaxia Star" had convinced everyone, which was exactly the effect he expected, and he was very proud, and said to Xiang Wen: "Wen makeup, this 'Huaxia Star' will belong to you soon, are you happy?" ”
It's nothing to subdue others, but his real purpose today is to impress Xiang Wen's makeup.
In fact, with a rare treasure like "Huaxia Star" to pick up girls, is the price paid a bit big? This problem has already been settled by their Qiao family: the "Star of China" will be given to Xiang Wen, and it will definitely belong to her, and when the time comes, she will be moved to marry into the Qiao family. As the saying goes, marrying a chicken follows a chicken, and the "Huaxia Star" will marry into the Qiao family with Xiang Wenjiao, so that the "Huaxia Star" still belongs to their Qiao family.
Besides, if they can really marry the Xiang family, the benefits that will bring them to the Qiao family are not equivalent to a "Huaxia Star".
If you want to talk about women, there is no one who doesn't like gems and diamonds, and Xiang Wen makeup is no exception, when she first saw the "Star of China", she also showed a kind of envious gaze.
But soon she was indifferent, to say that the value of a thing in a person's mind does not come from the value of such a thing itself, and she was born in a wealthy family like the Xiang family, and her pursuit of material things is already very indifferent, so although this "Huaxia Star" is precious, in her eyes, it is not as valuable and meaningful as the jade pendant left by her mother.
This "Huaxia Star", at most, brings you everyone's envy, but that jade pendant is different, it will bring you all the memories and thoughts about your mother.
Besides, Xiang Wen also felt that Qiao Zitong gave him this big gift, which was a little too valuable, and was about to say something, but at this time, he heard Qiao Zitong say to Xingyun in a playful tone: "By the way, the second young man of the Su family, I don't know what gifts you and the son of the Miao family have prepared?" Ha ha. ”
The amazement in Xiang Wen's makeup's eyes just now was seen by him, and he didn't believe that Xingyun would have any more surprising gift than the "Huaxia Star".
He had just been a little overwhelmed by Xingyun and Miao Qingshui, and now after taking out the "Huaxia Star", he felt that he could finally raise his eyebrows in front of them.
"This-" Miao Qingshui was embarrassed for a while, and took it in his pocket for a long time, except for touching the money and cards, he didn't touch anything decent, thinking that he couldn't give someone a bank card, and suddenly he had an idea, and stood beside Ye Wenyu and said: "Uh-this is my master and my wife, I came with them, and the gifts are ready for my master and mother." ”
In Miao Qingshui's mind, he made a temporary decision, unlike the master and the master who deliberately came to participate in Xiang Wen's banquet, they must have been prepared, but Ye Wenyu was also very embarrassed when he said this: "This-I-"
Ye Wenyu looked at Xingyun with a resentful gaze, thinking that you are so stingy, people have even given away the "Huaxia Star" now, even if we buy a small hairpin as a gift just now, it can be regarded as a special shabby.
As soon as she saw her mother like this, Miao Qingshui's sweat fell down in a big way, and she dared to love that this master and her mother were the same as herself. But this really fulfills the sentence: not a family, not a family. If it weren't for that, how could I call them master and master?
"I don't have a gift."
On this occasion, in front of everyone's eyes, Xingyun said that there was no gift but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, his gaze just glanced at the "Huaxia Star" and then retracted it, and his heart was puzzled, to say that this variety of stone was common in the world in his previous life, why did the people in this world treat it as a treasure?
When everyone heard that Xingyun actually said that there were no gifts, they all immediately laughed, they came to participate in this kind of banquet and said that there were no gifts, and they said it so justifiably, and more importantly, Xiang Chaodong treated him as the most important guest just now, it seems that this is a slap in the face to Xiang Chaodong.
When everyone in the hall saw their "Huaxia Star", they all showed envious eyes to themselves, but this nebula reacted flatly, which made Qiao Zitong even more unhappy, snorted, and said contemptuously: "No gifts? I think it's because after you saw the 'Huaxia Star' I sent, you felt that your gift was too shabby to take it, haha, it's okay, I know you're poor now, but the ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her in-laws. ”
Coming to this kind of banquet, Qiao Zitong didn't think that Xingyun really didn't bring a gift, the only explanation was that after his gift was compared with the 'Huaxia Star', he couldn't take it at all. The more he refused to take it out, the more Qiao Zitong wanted to show his gift so that he could make a fool of himself.
"You're so annoying, let me go!"
This Qiao Zitong kept talking about himself, which made Xingyun really irritable, so he kicked him aside, frowned and said to Xiang Wen: "I didn't think about attending any of your birthday banquets at all, but I came today, but I have something to return to you." ”
As he spoke, Nebula reached into his pocket.
