Chapter 285: Superb Diamond

"Elder Dong, can you tell me that everything in front of me is true?" Although he was well-informed, Ma Shangdu was already stunned at this time, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

"Don't say it's you, even now I wonder if it's in a dream!" Dong Dechang also sighed.

Indeed, what is in front of you is unbelievable!

Yu Fei was holding a colorless diamond with a diameter of about three or four centimeters in his hand!

Friends who like diamonds know that the grade of diamonds can be judged from four aspects, which is the so-called 4C standard.

The first C is the color. Diamond colors are divided into two major series, the common colorless series include colorless, light yellow, light brown; The color series includes dark yellow, gray, pink, etc. Colorless diamonds are typically graded according to the GIA scale from D to Z (yellow). Among them, the D-class is completely colorless. The highest color grade, extremely rare, some people may wonder, why do you want to start with D grade? What about the ABC above? Shouldn't it be better? In fact, there is a misconception here, the reason why D is used to represent complete colorlessness is mainly because D is the first letter of Diamond.

The second C is weight, the greater the weight of a diamond, the higher its value. We usually say that one carat = 0.2 grams = 100 points, and 0.75 carats is also called 75 points.

The third C is clarity, which can be graded from FL/IF (flawless/internally flawless) to I (flawed) depending on the clarity diamond. Each diamond contains natural inclusions that resemble a natural birthmark. The number, size, shape, and color of these inclusions determine a diamond's clarity and uniqueness. Inclusions are hidden within the diamond and can come in different colors: white, black, colorless, or even green or red. FL refers to a 10x gem magnification when the diamond is clean, i.e., there are no inclusions inside or outside the stone. Class I clarity means that the contents can be visually identified.

The last C is the cut. A perfectly cut diamond should reflect the light entering the diamond through the different petals, and finally condense on the top of the diamond to shine with brilliance.

The color of the diamond in Yu Fei's hand has completely reached the D grade, and it should exceed 2,000 carats in terms of weight, that is, 400 grams. Some people may say, 400 grams is so strange. But if you know that the diamond is very small.

Recognized as the world's largest diamond star in Africa. It was discovered in 1905 in the Plemir diamond mines, and he weighed only 3,106 carats. Later, the Star of Africa was cut into nine large diamonds and 96 smaller diamonds for the Queen's crown, scepter and other decorations.

What is more important is the clarity of this diamond. In Marchandus's judgment. The clarity of this diamond should far exceed that of the Star of Africa, and its value is almost immeasurable! For the cut, the diamond has barely undergone any cuts, which is to be expected. Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Most people still use bronze, and the hardness of the tools can be imagined, and to cut a piece on the diamond is tantamount to a dream. But even with natural carving, the cut of this diamond shows a very high standard, and it is truly a masterpiece of nature!

"Yu Fei, how much did you spend on this diamond at that time?" Immediately, he knew that Yu Fei would hit him very hard when he said the most expensive price, but he couldn't help but ask.

"At the time. Put these five glass balls together, I gave the stall owner 500 yuan. Yu Fei said truthfully.

"Hiss......" Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang made toothache-like sounds at the same time.

Five hundred dollars to buy such a perfect diamond? And he also carried four antique glass beads. Compared with Yu Fei. Ma Shangdu felt that his previous complacent leakage was simply a scum!

It took a while for the three of them to calm down. Although Yu Fei had already known the result, the first time he saw such a perfect diamond, Yu Fei couldn't help but be dazzled!

"Yu Fei, although this diamond can be called a priceless treasure, it is still a bit far-fetched to say that he is Suihou Zhu, after all, there is no evidence to show it." Dong Dechang said solemnly.

Yes, although this diamond has many similarities with the legendary Suihou Zhu, what Dong Dechang said also makes sense, you can't just say that it is because of the image, it is too far-fetched.

Yu Fei has been prepared for this.

In the past few days when Qin Xiaojin held a funeral for Jia Lanping, Yu Fei left after kowtowing because he was not Jia Lanping's apprentice. Then Yu Fei spent a lot of time digging through a lot of literature in the Qinhuangdao area, and finally let him find out!

Yu Fei showed the "Book of Exhortations" handed to Dong Dechang and Li Si and said: "Teacher, you see, it can be seen from this article by Li Si that He's Bi and Suihou Zhu were eventually acquired by Qin Shi Huang. ”

Li Si wrote in the article: "The jade of Kunshan is the treasure of easy-going and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon...... This number of treasures, Qin is not born, and His Majesty said it, why not? "It means that now your majesty has obtained the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain, with Suihou Zhu and Heshi Bi, and the pearl of the bright moon hanging on your body...... And these treasures are not produced by the Qin State, but His Majesty likes them very much, why is this?

Yu Fei continued: "After Liu Bang destroyed Qin, He's Bi became the "Han Seal of the Han Dynasty" of the Han emperors. After that, it lasted 1,600 years and went through the hands of more than 100 emperors. But with Hou Zhu from Qin Shi Huang there is no follow-up. It can be inferred that Suihou Zhu was lost between the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

"Not bad." It is Ma Shangdu who agrees, and he has also done research on Suihou Zhu, "Some people have verified that it is that Sui Hou Zhu was buried with Qin Shi Huang and used as a candle in the tomb." However, the tomb of Qin Shi Huang has not been excavated so far, so no one knows whether this is true or false. However, it can be inferred from the excavation of more than 100 glass beads from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng that such a speculation is very reasonable. ”

"I used to think the same as Brother Ma, but look at this book." What Yu Fei handed to Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang was a book of ancient notes called "Yanshan Poor House", "This book was discovered by me in the Qinhuangdao Ancient Books Library. ”

In order to find Sui Houzhu's information, Yu Fei went to the library many times during this time.

Some people also said that at the beginning of the 2000s, the Internet had gradually become popular, why didn't Yu Feiwei look up these materials on the Internet? Of course, it is because the information on the Internet is incomplete, and there is very little information about Hou Zhu.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be overwhelmed in the vast library, but with the help of Yu Fei's chaotic qi, it can be said that he can investigate very quickly.

At the beginning, Yu Fei checked the information for two days and found nothing. Just when he was very discouraged and wanted to give up, he found this notebook of "Yanshan Poor House" in the ancient book! also found the mystery of Sui Houzhu's disappearance and understood the basic situation at that time.

Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang was bent on seeking immortality in his later years, and went to Qinhuangdao to seek immortals. The first thing he sent was his henchman Xu Fu and five hundred boys and girls, but he didn't expect Xu Fu to be gone. Qin Shi Huang didn't think that Xu Fu had betrayed him, and he didn't want to come back, and thought that it was the Sea Dragon King who was angry and took him away. Therefore, it was assumed that he was dead.

Qin Shi Huang sent another minister named Meng Yi to the sea to look for immortals, in order not to make the Sea Dragon King angry, this time Qin Shi Huang endured the pain and cut his love, and took out the Suihou Zhu that is said to be the Dragon King's spirit bead, and let Meng Yi carry it with him to patrol the border. After all, compared with treasures, immortality is more important in Qin Shi Huang's heart.

Meng Yi was afraid of being punished by Qin Shi Huang because he couldn't find the immortals, so he took Hou Zhu and fled quietly.

At this time, Qin Shi Huang was a little dumbfounded, and he took out the spirit bead of the Sea Dragon King, but he didn't find an overseas immortal, what the hell is going on?

The helpless Qin Shi Huang found nothing in Qinhuangdao, but lost a lot of treasures, including Suihou Zhu.

"Yanshan Poor House" was released during the Republic of China, the circulation was relatively small, and it was not from the hands of celebrities, so there were very few people who bought it, and few people knew about the records in it. didn't expect to be found by Yu Fei.

"It's really Suihou Zhu!" This time, not only Dong Dechang, but Ma Shangdu also completely believed it!

"Yu Fei—" Ma Shang said without saying anything.

Of course Yu Fei understood what he meant, Ma Shang wanted to go to the exhibition with Hou Zhu, but Hou Zhu was so precious, he really couldn't open that mouth!

In the face of Ma Shangdu's request, will Yu Fei agree? (To be continued......)
