Chapter 624 [Lapis Lazuli]
Just when Yang Nianzhong and his wife Anne were chatting hotly, the mother came coldly, which made Yang Nianzhong and Anne startled. Yang Nianzhong looked at it with tears and laughter, and said to his mother Yang Lan, who was still holding the ink jade and admiring it.
"Oh my mother, aren't you looking at stones? Why do you still hear me talking to Anne? It's okay if you answer my question, can you not scare me to death so suddenly. ”
Seeing Yang Nianzhong playing treasure there, patting his chest and looking very afraid, his mother Yang Lan took off the glasses she was wearing with a smile, and leaned on the sofa with a smile and said.
"You kid can really plant it, you were born and raised by me, how bold your kid is, I don't know when you were scared."
"It's just that I can't tell the origin of this blue stone in front of Anne, and I feel that I can't get over it, right? You can still hide your little bit of caution from the old lady. ”
Yang Nianzhong coughed embarrassedly, and said with a smile as he looked at his mother. "Mom, I'm your own son, are you so degrading your own son? I'll admit that I'm a little bit of a learner. ”
"I really don't know what the origin of this blue stone is, the blue stone is so beautiful, and the texture is so delicate, what is it? Please give me an answer. ”
If you have a question to ask your mother, this is Yang Nianzhong's life experience from childhood to adulthood for decades, there is nothing in Yang Nianzhong's mind that her mother can't do, there is no thing that her mother doesn't know, and finding her mother if she has a problem, has already formed a conditioned reflex in Yang Nianzhong.
Mother in Yang Nianzhong's heart is an encyclopedia is a website that solves all problems, as long as you enter the command, there is nothing that can't be done, sure enough, the mother Yang Lan did not disappoint Yang Nianzhong's precious son, and said with a smile while pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Lapis lazuli, it's not only in recent years, it's there in ancient times, when it became famous, it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in Tibetan Buddhism, the best lapis lazuli is the incarnation of Medicine Buddha."
Yang Nianzhong on the side was speechless in surprise, and Anne, who had studied Chinese culture, could of course hear the meaning expressed by her mother-in-law Yang Lan, and was even more shocked, Yang Nianzhong was stunned for a while, then he reacted and lit a cigar, sat up straight and looked at his mother and asked.
"Mom, can you explain what kind of stone lapis lazuli is? Precious or not, how much does its price compare to diamonds? ”
Seeing Yang Nianzhong's greed for money, his mother Yang Lan sighed with hatred and scolded with a smile. "How can anything be compared with diamonds in your kid's eyes, isn't it in your kid's eyes that you kid is in the eyes of money?"
"I'll tell you today that this set of rainbow seal materials, whether it's lapis lazuli or Tianhuangshi, its price is much higher than diamond."
"I can tell you responsibly, boy, this set of rainbow seal materials you found, whether it is the size, or the exquisite materials, the exquisiteness of the carving, the world is rare, the world can't find a second set, how much do you say it is worth?"
Yang Nianzhong gasped when he heard his mother's words, this is a priceless treasure, the only one in the world, you said that if you want to make a sale, you set him a price, no matter how high the price is, it is not too high because there is only this set in the world, you can no longer find the second set of such perfect seal materials, how high do you say it is worth.
The point is that your offer of $1 billion is not high for a priceless treasure, but who can afford such a high price? You can't sell him, what can he do if it's worth $10 billion?
Of course, even if Yang Nianzhong is killed, it is impossible for Yang Nianzhong to send this set of pigments to the auction market for auction, even if he is so poor that he asks for food with a bare butt, he must guard this set of stones not to flow into the market, so as not to let the pearl be dusted, seeing Yang Nianzhong's smiling appearance, his mother smiled and said.
"The origin of lapis lazuli is more interesting, the best lapis lazuli is produced in Afghanistan, of course, in the Middle East, there are also some deposits in West Asia, but the quality is not as good as Afghanistan."
"Just like jade, lapis lazuli is the national stone of Afghanistan, and since ancient times its price has been equal to gold, although some mineral deposits have been found in other countries over the years, but the quality is not as good as that of Afghanistan."
"Lapis lazuli is an opaque or translucent blue, blue-purple gemstone, composed of heavenly blue stone and calcite, which has a very beautiful meaning, bless peace, health, disease, and disaster."
"Lapis lazuli is not only in ancient China, but also in ancient Egypt has a large number of use, the Ming and Qing dynasties reached the peak of use, because the blue is like the sky, so only the royal family deserves to enjoy."
"Because of the small hardness, it is better than jade to carve, and the carved ornaments are exquisite, of course, there are impurities in any good stone, and the price has fallen."
"But your boy's luck is simply red and purple, and you have found this set of seals, and the absence of impurities in lapis lazuli is the best thing. The value is not much worse than that of a diamond, and in terms of the density of this stone, it must be a kilogram at least, and the price of hundreds of millions of dollars is not a problem at all. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, hey."
When Yang Nianzhong heard his mother explain this, he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and the whole person was in a state of dementia, but he didn't expect that the set of seal materials he found was so precious.
The preciousness of other stones, let's not say more, even if this lapis lazuli is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, this is a set of ah, how difficult it is to make this set of rainbow seal materials.
Next, my mother introduced it to the two of them, of course, especially Anne, who explained in detail, what are the names of the nine sons of Longsheng? What are their preferences? It's interesting to be honest.
Compared with the so-called mythical beasts in the West and Dongfang Yi, it is simply pediatric, not to mention anything else, even if it is a classic of mountains and seas in the East, it will overshadow those mythological stories in the West.
The most famous thing in the West is the four-legged snake with a pair of wings on the dragon, but there are too many mythical beasts in China to count, and only one dragon's nine sons can tell related stories and legends for a night, can it be compared to the West?
And just this set of seal materials, let the mother explain in detail for more than an hour to dinner time, Yang Nianzhong and Anne were still unsatisfied with it, and the family came to the restaurant downstairs to eat, what did they eat? Yang Nianzhong spent a lot of money to buy a roasted camel without a number through a relationship.
When Yang Nianzhong took the family to the private room of the restaurant, everyone was stunned when they looked at the empty table, although Yang Nianzhong had a good relationship with the servants and bodyguards in the house, but it was impossible for these people to sit at the same table with the master's family to eat, there should be rules.
But today it was different, and they all sat on a round table with a strange shape, which looked like a round hollow, with a large table at the edge, and an opening for people to enter.
But the table was empty, there was nothing but knives, forks, drinks, drinks and plates, everyone was wondering, everyone knocked on the door, everyone saw the roasted whole camel brought by the restaurant waiter, and they were all stunned and surprised that they almost didn't hit their chins on the top of their feet.
