Chapter 397: Jade Exposition (8)

The collection of black pearls in China is not particularly popular, but abroad, a necklace containing 51 black pearls reached 3.7 million dollars.

At this moment, the string of black pearls in Mr. Qiao's hand is more than 15 mm in diameter, and the price of a single one alone is forty or fifty thousand.

Ji Meng saw that Mr. Qiao couldn't take his eyes off it, and couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think?"

Mr. Qiao's eyes couldn't be removed from the beads, and he was reluctant to touch them directly with his hands, nodded and said:

"I just silently counted 108 beads, a number that is usually chosen by Buddhists.

It represents these 108 afflictions, which means that the practitioner holding the rosary wishes to be able to eliminate these afflictions and to be free from desires and desires.

In addition, 108 should also be a synthesis of the heavenly and earthly evils in Taoist culture, with the meaning of protection in it.

However, usually such beads are made from materials such as linden, crystal, incense wood, agate, amber, etc.

Not many use pearls for rosaries, and even fewer use black pearls.

However, in history, there was once a princess of the last generation, who was said to be very beautiful and very knowledgeable.

After the prince was captured by the enemy, it was proposed that the princess could be exchanged for the prince. ”

"Hey, exchanging a woman for the prince, this is a lustful trick, right?" The white hair listened to it and couldn't help but complain.

Mr. Qiao smiled: "I don't know if there is any other reason behind this, but there are historical records that this princess believes in Buddhism, and in order to win her heart, the other party once made a valuable rosary for her."

But with the war, the whereabouts of the princess are unknown, and the rosary is nowhere to be found. ”163

"Could it be that this is the princess's rosary!? Isn't that an antique!? Ji Meng asked in surprise.

The white hair immediately rolled his eyes at Ji Meng, and said in his heart: Are you a fool!? When you say this, don't others know that you don't know the origin of this rosary at all, isn't that suspicious?

Ji Meng couldn't help but smile when she saw her eyes, she understood Bai Hai's thoughts, but she thought that since this Qiao was always knowledgeable and gave her a good feeling, she simply revealed her ignorance and let the other party feel her sincerity.

In this way, the cooperation between the two sides may be greater in the future. Because trust is on both sides, whether she gambled on the stone just now or now revealed to him that she didn't understand, she was also trying to win the trust of the other party.

In Ji Meng's opinion, when he saw Ji Meng choose those new pit stones, he disregarded the boss's eyes and admonished her, and she decided that this person was not a traitor and could try to trust him.

Mr. Qiao was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect Ji Meng to say this directly, so he shifted his gaze from the rosary to Ji Meng's face.

"Ha, if it is really that rosary, it is indeed an antique of historical significance, and it cannot be measured by the price of ordinary jewelry.

Dream boss, I don't know where your rosary came from? ”

"Well, Mr. Qiao, you can just call me Xiaomeng. Is this a rosary...... Just a relic of a predecessor.

The senior was in a hurry, so I don't know where he came from. "Ji Meng won't blush when he should be panicking!

Mr. Qiao raised his eyebrows rarely, and then said, "Oh, okay." Then, Xiaomeng, you just call me Lao Qiaobei. ”

"That's not good, it's too disrespectful to call Old Joe, then...... I'll call you Uncle Joe. Ji Meng smiled.

Mr. Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you think it's good!" However, tomorrow's auction is only for jade products, so you can't participate in tomorrow's auction.

But if you're interested, when the auction is over tomorrow, I can introduce you to a teacher.

Of course, if you still have jewelry, ornaments and other items such as jade that you want to sell, I can also help you take a look. ”
