Chapter 261: Spring and Autumn Two Treasures
PS: Coming out with Hou Zhu! Traffic lights for collections, recommendations, monthly passes, subscriptions!
What attracted Yu Fei was an inconspicuous small stall in the corner, and if it were in normal times, Yu Fei would definitely not notice its existence. But just now, a few foreigners with guns made him feel uneasy, and the chaotic qi did not dare to take it back, maintaining a high degree of vigilance, and because of this, he found that there were a few things in that stall that exuded a strong chaotic qi, even Yu Fei had never felt before.
What is it? Yu Fei pulled Qin Xiaojin to the front of the stall and squatted down.
The stall owner, a man in his thirties with a shrewd face, was selling a pair of blue and white plum vases to a young man who looked like a couple.
"This is an old object that has just been fished out of the water conservancy, and it is in good condition." The stall owner said.
Just looking at the style of the plum vase does look like an old object, Yu Fei didn't waste time, and guided the chaotic qi to take a look, damn! This is an old object, it is purely an old modern craft, and it is not worth any money at all.
The young couple was obviously moved, and the two walked to the side and discussed in a whisper.
Yu Fei didn't care about their thoughts, even if they really paid the tuition, Yu Fei wouldn't stop it, after all, this was a matter of being willing to fight and suffer, and the stall owner didn't go to their pockets to pay for it, no wonder who came.
What Yu Fei cared about was a few glass balls placed at one foot of the stall, which were covered with cracks.
"Isn't this a glass ball? Can you also take it out and sell it for money? Qin Xiaojin couldn't help but muttered in a low voice after seeing it.
Yu Fei smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that there is finally something you can't see.
That's right. These do look like the glass balls you played with when you were a kid, but they're just a lot bigger. The largest one is about 5 centimeters in diameter. It's even heavier in the palm of your hand.
Of course, Yu Fei doesn't value them because of his good eyesight. Or the guidance of the chaotic qi.
He found that these glass balls had a very strong chaotic aura in them! This made Yu Fei very surprised, could it be said that there was a process of making feeders a long, long time ago?
"Little girl, this is not a glass ball, it's all old stuff here." The stall owner whispered a correction. But that doesn't sound like much confidence. Because it really doesn't look like an antique.
Getting these glass balls is also more dramatic. The stall owner found a red sandalwood dresser when he was digging out the old house, and immediately bought it. When I went back, I found that there were a few glass balls carefully placed in the dresser. He guessed that it was the previous director's child who put it in mischievously, but such a large glass ball is indeed rare. And even something from the fifties and sixties is still considered old, although it is already full of cracks. But the stall owner still plans to put him in the stall, anyway, if he loses it, he will lose it, maybe he can still attract stupid hats to buy it, even if he sells it for a dollar, he will make money.
However, these glass balls have been sitting in the stall for a few days now. Stunned, no one cared. The stall owner wanted to throw them away after he went back this time, otherwise he would lower the grade of his stall if he put them there.
Just when the stall owner was desperate, at this time, someone came to ask the price, and looking at the appearance of the young man who asked the price, although he didn't look like a student who had just walked out of school, he was definitely a Kaizi! I really don't know what kind of expression Yu Fei will have after knowing the thoughts in the stall owner's heart, Yu Fei, who has always been used to picking up leaks, has become a super big Kaizi in the eyes of the stall owner, which can't help but make people feel ridiculous.
"This is the old thing, too?" Yu Fei sneered. "I just think these glass balls remind me of memories I had when I was a kid. But I really didn't play with such a big glass ball at that time. So, let's put these glass balls together and make a price. ”
Yu Fei threw the glass ball in his hand very casually. It's like playing like when you were a kid.
The stall owner gritted his teeth, and said with two fingers in the depths: "In this way, you can take all these glass balls, five hundred yuan!" You have also seen that these glass balls are so big, they are definitely rare, and they have been around for years. Most importantly, it also brings back memories for you. Five hundred is not much at all. ”
"What? Wu Bai, you might as well snatch it. Qin Xiaojin said. Don't look at it as the chairman of Ruijing Group, but when it comes to buying things, she is still as careful as an ordinary little woman.
"Forget it, Wu Bai is Wu Bai, grind your teeth on these little money, if you let your subordinates see it, I'm afraid they will laugh at you for the rest of your life." Yu Fei took out his wallet as he spoke, and put five hundred yuan on the stall for fear that the stall owner would regret it.
"Hey-why is Brother Yu Fei in such a hurry to pay? Let me tell you, my bargaining skills are top-notch, and I can definitely cut half of them. Qin Xiaojin felt that he had nowhere to perform.
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Come on, cut half of five hundred?" How much is that? Simpleton? ”
"yes, it's not good." Qin Xiaojin said.
In the space to speak, Yu Fei had already set up a cardboard box with the stall owner and carefully put these glass balls into it one by one, and then pulled up Qin Xiaojin, who was still in a daze, and turned around and left.
"Brother Yu Fei, why do you want to buy these glass balls? You don't really want to play like you did when you were a kid, right? Okay, I'm not going to play with you? Qin Xiaojin asked behind Yu Fei.
But Yu Feili ignored it, just walked forward with his head bored. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself as soon as he spoke! Judging from the detection of the chaotic qi, these glass balls are all old objects from before the Qin and Han dynasties!
Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the Chinese could already make glass? In the past, Yu Fei thought that this was just a legend, or that the Chinese people put gold on his face, but now he believes it! And he also thought of a possibility that made his heart beat faster!
"Well, if you must play, then tell me how to play with these glass balls first?" Qin Xiaojin retreated and said.
Yu Fei pulled Qin Xiaojin straight out of the antique market, and stopped a taxi without saying anything. Then he said the name of the hotel and asked the driver to drive.
"Brother Yu Fei, let's go back? Didn't we just go shopping? And as the saying goes, thieves don't go empty, so we won't get anything except these glass balls this time. Qin Xiaojin said without hesitation.
It's just that the words "thieves don't go empty" made the driver look at it a few more times, and thought that these two people were thieves who took advantage of the crowds to fish in troubled waters.
However, seeing that the two of them were not dressed very similarly, and they went to the best hotel in Qinhuangdao, the driver still couldn't help but not call the police.
When he came to the hotel, Yu Fei pulled Qin Xiaojin directly to his room, and then locked it very carefully.
Qin Xiaojin's heart beat faster during the whole process-what did he want to do? Could it be—
Yu Feike didn't notice Qin Xiaojin's expression, but carefully placed the box on the table, and then turned on all the lights in the room.
"Do you know what this is?" Yu Fei asked Qin Xiaojin excitedly.
But Qin Xiaojin didn't answer immediately.
"Hey, little girl, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up. Yu Fei shouted in a loud voice.
"Huh? Oh! Qin Xiaojin came back to his senses at this time, and his face was flushed.
"What did you just say these glass balls were?" Qin Xiaojin fixed his mind, pretended to be nothing, walked to Yu Fei's side and asked.
"If my guess is correct, these glass balls should be the pearls of Suizhu Jingyu." Yu Fei's words were amazing.
"What? You say these glass balls are beads? Qin Xiaojin said in disbelief.
Suizhu is also called Suihou Zhu, is the treasure of Suiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is called "Spring and Autumn Two Treasures", "Suizhu and Bi" or "Easygoing" together with "He's Bi".
Legend has it that in the spring and autumn period, when he traveled with Hou, he saw that the big snake was broken in two, and saw that the snake was a little supernatural, so he ordered the entourage to treat it with medicine, and the snake was able to move immediately. A year later, when he was riding a boat with Hou, he suddenly encountered a storm and a big snake in the water and offered a large pearl, and said: "I am the son of the dragon king, and I am grateful for the grace of saving my life, and I have come to repay the virtue." This is Suihou Zhu, also called the Pearl of the Spirit Snake. According to the description of "Sou Shen Ji": Sui Hou Zhu "has a diameter of inches, pure white and luminous, and can be a candle room"
Later, King Wu of Chu followed and was defeated with the country. Sui Hou Zhu fell into the hands of the king of Chu. After Chu was destroyed by Qin, Suihouzhu fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang. After Liu Bang destroyed Qin, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, He's Bi became the "Han Seal of the Han Dynasty" of the Han emperor. After that, it lasted 1,600 years and went through the hands of more than 100 emperors. However, Suihou Zhu, who is also one of the two treasures, has not been followed since Qin Shi Huang. Some people have researched that Hou Zhu was buried with Qin Shi Huang, and "replaced the anointing candle" in the tomb, but no one has ever seen his true face.
There have been speculations about the pearls since ancient times, and now there are four main types.
The first is a pearl, but there are two things that cannot be explained. First, Suiguo is not near the sea, if it is a pearl, it should be a freshwater pearl, but freshwater pearls are generally smaller, and according to records, the diameter of Suihou pearls reaches an inch, that is, 3.3 centimeters, and freshwater pearls cannot be so large. Secondly, the composition of pearls is calcium carbonate, which is easy to decompose and difficult to spread for more than 100 years. These two problems cannot be explained by the pearl doctrine.
The second is to think that the waiting beads are material beads, that is, glass beads. This theory is mainly based on the fact that when the tomb of Zeng Marquis B in Suizhou was excavated in 1977, 173 material beads were unearthed, which were covered with circle patterns on the surface, generally known as "dragonfly eye" glass beads, the largest one was 2.3 cm in diameter, 1 cm smaller than the diameter of the beads. Some people think that this is Suizhu, but in fact it is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. And Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty clearly mentioned in the article "On Balance" that the Sui State during the Warring States Period was already good at firing glass beads. But there is no solution to the problem, that is, glass beads do not glow at night.
In addition, there is a more important point that Yu Fei feels incomprehensible, the legendary Suihou Pearl is only one, and it is crowned as one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, how formal and important the status is, which is obviously inconsistent with the number of gems unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi of 173. If there were really so many waiting beads, they would never be so precious!
But the few beads found today made Yu Fei suddenly brightened! (To be continued......)
