Chapter 391: Zhu Fugui's Birthday Gift
Fifteen or sixteen Zhongguan wafflers carried the gift burden covered with red cloth and carried it up.
Another Cixi's beloved little eunuch, An Dehai, stepped forward and used a long pole to pick up the red cloth in turn, revealing the true face of the treasures below.
I saw that the first treasure was two huge pearls of the mixed night.
According to Jin Qingzhi's introduction, An Dehai first let the sunlight shine on the two beads, and then used his jacket to block the light source.
I saw that in the shadows, these two night pearls faintly emitted a breathtaking fluorescence, which lasted for a long time.
Li Lianying's eyes straightened when she saw it on the side, and said to Cixi, who was also stunned: "Queen Mother, this bead is so beautiful in the daytime, if it is at night, it will not take off!" โ
Thinking that Yehenala Xingzhen entered the palace at the age of 16 to serve the first emperor, and now has become the master of the six palaces, hanging the curtain to control the court, whether it is the pearl of the sea or the jade of Myanmar, or the various gems of Taixilai, what treasure in the world she has not seen?
The pearl of the night, Xingzhen has naturally seen it.
But she has never seen such a huge, round, full, and exaggerated night pearl like this.
Historically, in addition to Cixi's love for jadeite, Cixi's favorite is the night pearl.
According to Sun Dianying, a senior archaeological expert and professional mortuary master, "She (Cixi) has a night pearl in her mouth, which is separated by two pieces, and when closed, it is a round ball, which is transparent and lightless, and when it is closed, it reveals a green cold light, and the hair can be seen within 100 steps at night." I heard that this treasure can make the corpse not melt, no wonder after Cixi's coffin was split, Lafayette was like sleeping, only when he saw the wind, his face turned black, and his clothes were a little difficult to handle. I gave the night pearl to Mrs. Jiang (Song Meiling) on my behalf. โ
In addition, according to the book "The Theft of Cixi's Mausoleum": "The No. 51 Night Pearl weighs 422 coins and 7 cents, and is worth 10.8 million taels. โ
What is Cixi's night pearl, the world does not know.
Some say it's fluorite, some say it's diamond, and so on.
If you don't see it, it's hard to know the roots.
There are too many far-fetched claims.
But anyway, now that Xingzhen has seen Zhu Fugui's big baby, she has already thrown the beads that can be stuffed into her mouth to the clouds.
Zhu Fugui's two balls, with a diameter of 7 inches and 5, are extremely large, and they can't be stuffed into his mouth.
But just because you can't stuff it in your mouth doesn't mean you can't hold it.
How can such treasures not be moved?
If it weren't for the fact that it was still in its prime, Xingzhen would have wanted to bring this treasure into the coffin.
However, she didn't know if she could take the pair of Night Pearls into the coffin, but it was very likely that this pair of Night Pearls would send her away.
If Xingzhen Shouli had a handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer at this time, it would be possible to detect that the main component of these two beads is nothing more than marble.
However, the content of strontium reached 13.28%.
The rough stones from which the two beads were found in the Xinlu mining area.
At first, it was offered as a treasure by the miners, and was finally paid tribute to Zhu Fugui.
When he saw this thing, Zhu Fugui almost didn't perform a single nuclear tactic and fell down.
As a young man who often visits the UC Shock Department, Zhu Fugui has certainly seen something like [Shock! The Dandong man picked up a strange stone suspected of being a pearl of the night, and the truth sent chills down his spine! ] and so on.
However, there is one thing to say, these news are not headline parties, but have a certain scientific value.
At least Zhu Fugui immediately asked people to find a lead box to pack up the rough stone, and then sent it to the Guozijian Institute of Geology for analysis and testing.
The end result was a chill down the spine.
Speaking of chills on his back, Zhu Fugui thought of the little lady Xingzhen.
Zhu Fugui heard that trees are not allowed to be planted in the Forbidden City, and there is not even a place to enjoy the shade in summer.
For the sake of the little lady's physical and mental health, Zhu Fugui decided to give this treasure to her after a little processing.
Even the lead box was not wasted, and it was made into the most expensive Roman wine jug, which made the Jingluo cry.
It's so good to die......
On top of this venue, there is really a senior Jingluo.
That was the British Empire's Minister Plenipotentiary and Governor-General of Commerce in China.
Although a treasure like the Night Pearl is precious, it will not make Ali Guo lose his temper.
However, the sudden appearance of Roman wine vessels aroused great interest in the kingdom of Ali.
The nineteenth century was a time of great discoveries around the world, and countless Western archaeologists, or thieves, were tirelessly searching for the treasures of antiquity, whether in Egypt or Dunhuang.
As the minister to China, Ali Guo naturally has a deep connection with such a thief of cultural relics, and he himself is actually a part of it.
However, compared with the cultural relics of the East, Ali Guo is more proficient and more interested in the cultural relics of ancient Greece and Rome.
Now, the appearance of ancient Roman utensils in China is undoubtedly an extremely strange thing.
He pulled his monocle out of his bosom and looked at it from a distance.
Naturally, it can be seen that these items are brand new.
After all, if the lead and tin wine glass is old, then Cixi will definitely not use it to drink, at most as an ornament.
However, although it is a new wine vessel, the Arri Kingdom found that the shape of these utensils is actually amazing!
You must know that this is not the era of the future generations, archaeology is only in the hands of a few nobles, and the archaeological results are not rich.
Therefore, to be able to make such an authentic Roman wine glass, it means that the maker must have a well-preserved physical object in his hands, or even ......
There's a good chance you're still in possession of an ancient ruin!
Ali once heard from explorers who went to the interior of Chinese mainland that legend has it that an ancient Roman army once traveled to the northwest of China and then clashed with the Han Empire.
This history is no longer verifiable, but it is very likely that there are related artifacts buried deep in the yellow sand.
As long as you find these treasures, you will definitely be able to make a fortune, and at the same time, you will be able to promote the deeds of the people of Europa who have been rich in martial virtues since ancient times.
For financial gain, or perhaps for cultural ambitions, Ali felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with the young Tatar named "Keiyuki" after the meeting.

Compared with the astonishing size of the night pearl, for Cixi, the attraction of Western wine utensils is not so great.
However, listening to Jin Qingzhi, using this kind of wine pot to warm up the good fruit wine will make the fruit wine extremely sweet, and it also has the effect of prolonging life.
Cixi was going to give it a try.
Jin Qingzhi's statement is naturally not nonsense, and he is bullying the king.
He has already practiced it himself.
The Romans used lead pots to boil sour wine, and the product of acetic acid combined with lead ions was hydrated lead acetate.
This soluble white crystal is very sweet.
Of course, the side effects of lead poisoning are even sweeter.
ยท
The first two birthday gifts have been shown, and the third birthday gift is even more exciting.
The reason why more than a dozen eunuchs are required to carry the burden is mainly because of the large number of third birthday gifts - DDT anti-mosquito and insect repellent perfume.
To tell the truth, this is really not Zhu Fugui's pit.
DDT is a good thing, and it is only with it that humans have succeeded in controlling mosquito-related diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever in later generations.
Even the inventor of DDT won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1948.
He won this prize much more than the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1949.
The 1949 Nobel Prize in Medicine was Dr. Moniz, the founder of the prefrontal lobotomy that President Lincoln had already enjoyed in advance.
The medical awards of 1948 and 1949 were fantastic!
ยท
In terms of toxicity, DDT is actually very ordinary, and it is a younger brother.
It will only accumulate in the human body for a long time, causing hepatotoxicity, resulting in hepatomegaly and necrosis of the central lobule of the liver; Inhibits the immune function of the spleen, thymus and lymph nodes, and reduces the production of antibodies; Disrupting hormonal secretion and reducing sperm count, leading to premature birth and pathological overweight of the baby.
It's not comparable to paraquat or anything.
The action is slow and inefficient.
It can be seen that Zhu Fugui is kind, friendly, and united to the Manchu royal family!
In fact, the three-point gift to Xingzhen this time was all simmered slowly, and there was no strong medicine.
This is, of course, because the world can't live without her, Yehnara Xingzhen.
If she dies, the land of China will only be more chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty will enter the customs in a hurry, and she can only take the old road of compromise with the gentry.
However, not allowing Xingzhen to ascend to heaven on the spot does not mean that Zhu Fugui will not send a different blessing.
Night pearls, Roman wine vessels, DDT perfume, although these are all carefully selected by Zhu Fugui, but in the final analysis, this is Jin Qingzhi's birthday gift, what does it have to do with me Zhu Fugui?
Growing up listening to Ms. Xingzhen's stories, and now that they are fortunate to be each other's soul mates, Zhu Fugui will naturally not forget to give Ms. Xingzhen a sincere birthday gift......
