Chapter 460: Bloodstone
"Roosters' combs full of blood?" Cao Qijun really came to be interested, you must know that in the bloodstone, this chicken comb full of blood is the pinnacle of the best, and the value is not exaggerated.
"Is it big?"
Qu Long gestured, about the size of a palm.
"That's not small, I also have a piece, which was given by my grandfather during the coming-of-age ceremony, and now it has risen to about 20 million"
"Renminbi?" Qu Long subconsciously asked, just 20 million goods, this duchess disdains to be a treasure, not to mention the coming-of-age gift given by the head of the Cao family.
"No, pound" Cao Qijun looked at the chicken blood seal in front of him, while whispering some knowledge to Chuck next to him, in order to complete the young child's ability to identify these treasures
Twenty million pounds? Isn't that almost 200 million?
The tall and fat hand trembled, and Qu Long also looked solemn: "Is it a big red robe?" ”
"Hmm"
"It's really a big red robe" Qu Long rubbed his hands, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed: "As a bloodstone merchant, I haven't seen a real big red robe, but the guests who came that day also wanted to buy a big red robe, but unfortunately, I didn't, after all, the top treasure of the big red robe has a price, and it can't be bought with money."
This is true, there are more rich people in this world, who doesn't know that the collection value of these stones is very high, and they don't hesitate to spend tens of millions of dollars to collect, but the problem is that they can't buy things~!
"Really? Then this person's vision is not low" Cao Qijun understated, and suddenly asked again: "I don't know who it is"
This is the meaning of inquiry, Qu Long has always been good friends with Cao Qijun. Knowing that the other party's background is very strong, he thought about it for a while and said, "People from the Mocente family"
"Mocente? France's Mocente? ”
"Yes. There are some people who accompany me, but I don't think it's comprehensive, anyway, this group of people is very rich, and they are extremely generous."
Cao Qijun's brows pressed slightly, and then quickly relaxed, because Sui Yi walked over.
"Excuse me, what's over there?"
"Oh? Over there? Oops. I forgot! Qu Long patted his head, "That's an activity specially organized by those of us in the seal shop, bloodstone wool gambling stone!" How about a few distinguished guests, would you like to go over and have a look? ”
Chinese are not the only ones who like to gamble on stones. These foreigners are more adventurous than Chinese by nature, and this kind of gambling stone activity is like gambling in Las Vegas, which has always been very popular with these aristocratic and rich people, and the gambling stones held in London several times in the past two years are very lively. Especially this time the Chinese New Year is approaching. These foreigners like the excitement of the Spring Festival, so they also like to gamble to make a fortune, so there are already many people gambling on stones in the vacant land next door
Chicken blood wool can also be gambled on stones, this is the first time Sui Yi knows, but Cao Qijun has already known, "I forgot that I participated in it last year, but at that time the luck was not very good, Lotsa said that I was a loser~"
She was joking, and no one in London knew that the Duchess of Kings had a large family stake in her mother's family. He has also run a lot of industries, with an annual income of hundreds of millions of dollars. is a veritable rich woman, and she also helps deal with the property of the Duke's Palace, and her ability is very good, not to mention that she lost hundreds of thousands of pounds by gambling stones, which is tens of millions of pounds, and the Duke who loves his wife like his life does not blink.
The so-called losers
Is it a show of affection?
The tall and fat man squeezed his eyes with Qu Long, this is to abuse the single dog.
In the eyes of unfamiliar laymen, bloodstone wool and jade wool are the same, both are stones, but in the eyes of people like Sui Yi and Qu Long, there are many differences.
To be precise, the output of bloodstone is far lower than that of jadeite and jade ore, on the best bloodstone, the value is difficult to estimate, and the emerald in the jadeite Fu Lushou and so on can be compared with it, but if it is not a top emerald and not small, it cannot be compared with the bloody red robe in Cao Qijun's hand.
Rare is precious, you must know that the history of the blood red robe throughout the thousands of years of Chinese culture is so few pieces, and all of them are collected in the hands of the emperor, the first one is very large, just like the Qing Dynasty The Empress Dowager Cixi, the famous Queen Mother in history has a lot of treasures, but still regards a big red robe as a favorite, you can imagine its value.
And, because the country's status in the international arena has improved in recent years, Chinese culture has also swept overseas, this Chinese emperor's family loves the chicken blood jade, how can foreign nobles not like it~ Especially the chicken blood seal that symbolizes status and status, it is undoubtedly a vassal elegance and a nirvana to improve personal taste and heritage in minutes.
So, Cao Qijun met a group of noblewomen and celebrities dressed in luxury or elegance in front of this pile of raw stones
Sui Yi noticed that Cao Qijun's brows furrowed slightly.
But soon there was no trace.
These ladies are elegant, and as soon as they meet, the other party bows their heads slightly, greeting the duchess with the ancient ladylike etiquette, and the eyes of others are swept away, and they are afraid of graceful posture and elegant and beautiful clothes
The latter returned a salute, but the etiquette arc was very light, and it was related to the dignity of status.
The Duchess of Constantsburg, even if she is a queen, does not need to be humble.
The relationship between the nobles needs to be maintained, and Cao Qijun naturally wants to nag with these noble ladies, but out of etiquette and the importance of Sui Yi, she wants to take the initiative to introduce the three of Sui Yi, however, someone noticed the three of Sui Yi earlier, and preempted her, asking: "These three seem to be also Chinese, and are they relatives of the lady's family?" ”
The tall and fat can't understand English, but he has always understood words and feelings, and it is easy to feel some unkindness and ridicule from the expression of this gorgeously dressed and beautiful young celebrity, his eyes and tone.
The tall and fat can be seen, and Sui Yi and Cao Qijun can naturally do it.
This girl sent to say, "The lowly Chinese lady from China, have you brought your lowly relatives to the Monarch Titan clan to eat, drink, and fight the autumn breeze?"
Cao Qijun didn't speak, but the housekeeper Xiusi stepped forward and took the initiative to say: "Madam, the duke just called, saying that he has no time to accompany you due to official business, and he can't entertain the three distinguished guests, please be sure to let the three distinguished guests have a good memory on his behalf."
This is also full of hints.
And the housekeeper takes care of this young lady, which also has the hidden meaning of dividing the identity level.
Sui Yi naturally didn't think that Cao Qijun didn't have enough means to bear this flamboyant and outgoing celebrity
The expression of the celebrity, who was still a little arrogant, was suffocated, the fingers holding the brand-name bag couldn't help clenching, and the eyes were unwilling and resentful, and she was about to speak
"Wall"
A slightly older lady in the back called, as if reminding, and the socialite named Wall snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards her best friend
"Jun, Wall hasn't seen you for too long, you must know that she was the best with you before, and she was jealous when she saw you with this young Chinese girl~" This noble lady's voice is extremely good, and her speech and demeanor are also quite gentle, and she looks very gentle towards Sui Yi.
This person has a somewhat similar face to Wall, and it is difficult to guess the age of the foreigner, but it looks like Wall's mother.
Judging by her posture, tone and aura, she is probably the highest status among this group of celebrities, at least comparable to Cao Qijun.
Moreover, the family behind her must not be in harmony with Constantsburg.
Otherwise, the bodyguards who were responsible for protecting her and Wall would not have been on guard with the bodyguards of Constantsburg as soon as they met.
Sui Yi glanced at her and didn't speak, Ye Zixu, who was paralyzed, was even more speechless, okay, tall and fat is a person with a language impairment, and he will be transparent with Qu Long throughout the whole process
"Ever? Unfortunately, Miss Wall and I could not agree on the definition of a friend. Cao Qijun said lightly, calmly, and her elegant eyes glanced at the "secret talk" with her girlfriends to show her disdain and indifference to her, but Miss Wall, who couldn't help but look at her at the moment, and then showed a faint smile, and then turned her head and said: "I think that a friend should at least have a wise enough choice between a friend and a friend's husband, what do you think, follow suit, my friend~"
Even if he didn't understand this, he could see a little bit of the way from the slightly discolored expressions of the ladies and celebrities present and the faces of Na Wall's instant palette.
Is this an old grudge?
There's something really interesting about this aristocratic circle in London.
However, Qu Long seemed to have known for a long time, only glanced at Na Wall's face, and smiled secretly in his heart, in Chinese words, this noble-born celebrity is really a little "owed", I really think that the things I have done have passed, right, some scandals No matter how long it has passed, as long as someone mentions it, the chemical effect is still there, not to mention the duchess of the party, but if she is willing, she can use this stalk to kill the other party in minutes!
And Sui Yi, who was gently watched by the Duchess, heard a general story of "girlfriends covet their best friends' husbands and take action" from Cao Qijun's understatement
Moreover, Cao Qijun also pulled her into the game so obviously, and said such a sentence, if it was other women, I am afraid that the first reaction was that Cao Qijun was warning herself, don't be like Wall, take her trust as a betrayer, and pull her out to face these noble ladies, it seems that she is still against Wall, it will inevitably pull hatred, undoubtedly, and then you will be uncomfortable, either pretending to be deaf and dumb or angry or angry, or estranged
But Sui Yi is not an ordinary woman.
She knew the other party's thoughts from the other party's eyes, tone, demeanor, and personal personality, as soon as she analyzed it.
First, Sui Yi is a guest at the Hua Shark dinner, and sooner or later she will have to face these British nobles, after all, it is a disadvantage to go it alone, it is better to introduce her from the Duke's Palace at this moment, and the Duchess said that she is her friend, which is naturally also a reliance, which can allow her to integrate into this social circle as soon as possible.
