Chapter Thirty-Eight: Thousand Years of Blood Jade
Yinyuzhai is located in the suburbs of Hangzhou, in sparsely populated streets and alleys. Bi Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yin Yu Zhai is a jade shop that has been engaged in the jade industry since the end of the Qing Dynasty. The owner is a young man named Qin Feng. Don't look at him young, but he is a master of jade. Flowers, birds, insects, fish, knives, horses, carriages, dragons, men, women and children, pavilions and pavilions, through his hands, can become lifelike. After ordinary jade is carved by him, the market value can be increased several times. Ordinary stones, just by a glance, he can see its value.
However, although Qin Feng was talented, his parents died when he was very young, and he grew up under the care of his grandfather. Grandpa was very strict with him and rarely gave him love and encouragement. Therefore, Qin Feng's personality is introverted and quiet, and after inheriting this hidden jade zhai, he closed his door and refused to accept individual guests, and only entertained some regular customers and guests that he could see. Just because Qin Feng is famous, although what he does is not a way of business, he has lived a worry-free life in the past 20 years.
The poker face came to the door of the hidden jade house early in the morning, the gate of the hidden jade house is still antique, and the gate built with golden silk nanmu decades ago is more quiet and distant under the shade of wisteria green leaves on both sides. The poker face banged on the knocker, and the bronze knocker made a tinkling sound. Soon someone answered.
The one who answered the door was Qin Feng's apprentice, Wang Qi, who was only thirteen years old this year. He slept soundly in the concierge next to him. When he heard a knock on the door, he woke up alertly, put on his coat and came to open the door. He looked out from the cat's eye, and when he saw an unfamiliar face, he suddenly lost interest. On the other end of the door, he said lazily, "The boss went out to deliver and is not at home now." ”
Of course, Poker Face knew that this apprentice was talking about sending people, and was only amused by this lazy voice, and said, "I'm Wu Shen." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's silent, if it's not there, it's not there." After the apprentice finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, then looked into the cat's eyes, and wondered, "Why does it look different?" He didn't think about it anymore and opened the door, "Are you really Wu Shen?" Dr. Shen? ”
"Yes, Qin Feng is inside? I went straight to him. With that, Poker Face walked to the backyard.
Wang Qi didn't doubt it now, all the people who came to the door called Qin Feng Boss Qin, and Wu Shen would call him by his full name. It's just that the change in the appearance of the poker face made Wang Qi very puzzled. After thinking about it, sleepiness hit him, and he went back to his room to sleep.
Qin Feng got up very early, and he had already been playing Tai Chi under the camphor tree in the backyard. Poker Face goes around to the backyard door. Qin Feng heard the human voice, and while continuing the movements of his hands, he said, "Xiao Qi, go and clean up the studio." ”
Poker Face stood still, and said softly, "It's me." ”
The movement of the other party's hand stopped, almost the next second, he turned his head with a slight smile, "It turned out to be Wu Shen." But when he saw the poker face, he was stunned for a moment. You ......"
"It's a long story, I came to you today because I have something." Poker Face was concise and sat down on the cloister in the courtyard.
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and sat down next to the poker face, "When did you come to me for something?" Anyway, I only have one friend, you, and every time I ask you something, you always talk a long story. ”
"I'll tell you when it's over."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to finish." Qin Feng tucked his cuffs and asked, "What are you here to show me today?" Speaking of this, Qin Feng suddenly remembered, "By the way, what happened to the jade plate last time?" ”
Poker's face groaned slightly, "You said it right, that jade card is two pieces of yin and yang." It's just that we now have one piece in our hands and another piece ......"
"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded, "Although I haven't seen the real thing, listening to your description, I know that the jade plate is not simple." ”
"I'm here today to show you something else." After speaking, Poker Face took off the backpack on his back, took out a small package, and slowly opened it layer by layer.
The cautious movements of the poker face made Qin Feng pay attention to it. He sat upright, his eyes locked on the poker face. As the package opened layer by layer, Qin Feng saw that the package turned out to be a delicate jade lock. After another look, he immediately stood up and said to Poker Face, "Come into my room." ”
Seeing Qin Feng's reaction, the poker face knew that he was not wrong, and followed Qin Feng into the room.
Qin Feng immediately took out a pair of tweezers and a small hammer from the shelf, and stared at the jade in his poker face with an excited expression, "I really haven't seen such a good jade for many years." Do you know? Although the white jade on the outside is inconspicuous, the real good things are on the inside. Qin Feng was in a hurry to take out the contents of the white jade, but he forgot to ask for the consent of the poker face, and was stunned for a moment.
Poker Face nodded, indicating that Qin Feng could continue the movements in his hand.
Qin Feng was sharp with his hands and feet, and quickly dismantled the white jade, and then polished the layer of jade inside. Exclaimed, "You see, in order to keep the jade inside intact, there is actually a certain gap between it and the white jade. That's it. Qin Feng spread out his hand, and a blood-red jade the size of an egg appeared in Qin Feng's palm.
"What is this?"
Qin Feng said decisively, "Blood Jade." ”
"Blood Jade?" Pokerface had never seen anything like this, but had heard of some legend of the Blood Jade. Legend has it that when a person dies, the jade will be forcibly stuffed into the population as a jade weapon, if a person has just died, the jade that is swallowed in one breath is stuffed, it will fall into the throat with the gas, enter the dense blood vessels, and leave it for thousands of years, the dead blood will be stained, and the blood will go straight to the heart of the jade, and it will form a gorgeous blood jade. This kind of thing often falls on the skull's swallow, and is the most precious of all the corpses.
"That's right, it's the legendary blood jade used as a corpse plug." Qin Feng took a jade frame and placed the jade on it. "Where did you get this jade? Are you in the grave? ”
Poker Face shook his head, "It's Lao Jiang's family heirloom." ”
Qin Feng nodded in admiration and understanding, "It is conceivable that the old Jiang family has too many expensive things, and this piece of jade must have been treated as an ordinary lock before." It's a pity. ”
Poker face paused, not knowing whether to tell Qin Feng about the undersea tomb, he thought about it and asked tentatively, "Do you know what the use of this blood jade is?" ”
"Valueless." After Qin Feng finished speaking, seeing that the poker face was still looking at him, he smiled lightly, and said, "Of course, some people say that blood jade is the most psychic of all jade, because it is infiltrated by human blood for thousands of years, and it is also the best thing to ward off evil spirits. Of course, if the host of this piece of jade was wronged during his lifetime, his resentment would also make the blood jade gather resentment. Qin Feng looked at this piece of red blood jade, "Of course, I don't know which one it is." ”
Poker Face remembered that he had seen a record of blood jade in the book, "When Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, blood jade was also written on the gift list, but I have seen the drawing of that piece of blood jade." It's not red, it's irregular, like there's blood embedded in it. ”
Qin Feng smiled, "The color of the jade is just different. If the blood jade that Songtsen Gampo gave to Princess Wencheng back then was worth 10,000 gold, then the value of this piece would be dozens of times that of that piece. Qin Feng suddenly sighed, "This piece of jade is really a bit wasted in the hands of the Jiang family." ”
Poker Face raised the corners of his mouth, "It's already mine." Pokerface took off the blood jade and wrapped it in a wrap again. Before he could make a move, he was stopped by Qin Feng, "Are you going to take it like this?" ”
"Or else?" Pokerface asked.
"Give me three days, and I'll make a clasp for you...... Just make it with the white jade that originally covered it, and you can take it with you. Judging by the way you look, it can definitely ward off evil spirits, and it is safe for you to carry with you. Qin Feng looked at the appearance of the poker face, and wanted to ask something, but finally didn't ask, he was so attracted by this piece of blood jade that he had no time to ask anything else.
Poker Face stopped his movements slightly, and put the blood jade back on the jade shelf. said, "Then I'll take it in three days." With that, he pushed the door and left.
It has been an hour since Lao Jiang sent the poker face to the street where Qin Feng was, he had come to this place with the poker face, but he couldn't get along with Qin Feng. In Lao Jiang's eyes, Qin Feng was too elegantly ungrounded, and his gestures were too contrived, in Qin Feng's eyes, Lao Jiang was just a businessman, and everything was based on interests. After the two said a few words, Qin Feng immediately issued an eviction order. Lao Jiang never set foot in Yinyuzhai again. Today is no exception.
However, this hour, Lao Jiang was very impatient. He didn't know what Pokerface was here for, and he didn't know what Pokerface was pulling him for. After waiting for an hour in vain, I inevitably felt a little resentful.
"Let's go." Poker Face got into the car and said.
"That's the end of it?" Lao Jiang started the car, "Next time you come again, I will let my subordinates send you." ”
"Your subordinates?" Poker Face reminded Lao Jiang that the Fulong Gang under him was in a turbulent period, and his position as the leader of the gang might not be able to be kept.
Old Jiang was slightly embarrassed and said, "Let Luo Jin send you." ”
"No, you're coming. I've got something for you. ”
"What's that?" Lao Jiang asked casually.
"Do you know what your family heirloom is?"
"What?"
"Thousand-year-old blood jade."
Poker Face heard the screeching and sharp sound of brakes coming from under the wheels. (To be continued.) )
