Almighty Blessing Pack: Traveling through troubled times with a microscope

Chapter 45 A child is not a son, a mother is not a mother, jade is not jade, and a stone is not a stone

"Today's last pair of exhibits, Shanxi locust mother stone!"

As soon as the recommender said this, the people present all gasped in amazement, praising the opening of the store, Yuhuan Pavilion really showed its own hard goods to fight against.

Just as Jinlian was about to ask, Yin Bao whispered, "Mother and son stones, when mining, the son and mother stones are discovered first, and then the mother stone is found. There is often a three-centimeter-thick piece of skin between the two stones. The older one is the mother, and the younger one is the son, and when gambling jade, they usually appear in pairs."

Jin Lian nodded, half understanding, "Then if the mother stone is hollow, is the child stone also hollow?"

(In the business of betting on jade, hollow means that there is hidden jade in the stone, and solid means that the stone is a stone, and the outside and the inside are the same.)
Yin Bao smiled happily, the corners of her lips curved beautifully, and her tone was gentle and peaceful, "You are a quick learner."

"Actually, in most cases, someone once wrote an article and made statistics. The mother stone is older than the child stone, and the preservation place is better, so the probability of being hollow will be higher. And if there is a lot of space between the child stone and the mother stone The thicker skin sheets are connected, and the probability of being hollow will be higher."

"But it's not necessarily true. After all, stones have tempers."

"Shanxi locust locust mother stone was mined in Yongjia six years ago. When it came out of the pit, the son and mother were synchronized. There was no skin connection. The mother stone was 33 steps deep and weighed 78 catties and nine taels. The son stone was [-] steps deep and weighed six catties and eight taels. Now start auction!"

"The starting price of the mother stone is 3000 taels! The starting price of the son stone is 50 taels!"

Originally eating and joking in the Shuixiang Hall, the rich and wealthy sons who seemed to be unaware of the current situation outside, heard that the son and mother Shi all went out to wait and see.

Yinbao saw that they were all carrying wealth boys behind them and carrying a big copper box. This was the posture of betting on Baoyu today even if they threw all their family money here.

Yin Bao touched the thin 500 taels silver note in his bosom, and pursed his chapped lips.

Li Jiang directly called out the price, "The mother stone is three thousand and one hundred taels!"

The rich boy next to him hurriedly took out the thick pile of banknotes from his body, spit on his fingers and started counting.

The young masters standing at the entrance of Shuixiangju were not vegetarians either, they stared at the stone and asked for the price.

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

Angrily, Li Jiang stepped on the stool he was sitting on just now, stretched out three fingers and shouted tremblingly, "4000 taels!"

Yinbao burst out laughing, and more and more Yumin who occasionally played around surrounded him, and some even went directly to the roof to surround the big red grandstand.

"Four thousand and one hundred taels!"

At the entrance of Shuixiangju, a fat man in a purple robe came from the house, eating chicken legs, his face was dripping with oil, Yinbao took a closer look, this is the first day of Shuixiangju's opening, he came to the store as a guest, and ordered [-] The one with the thin dish. The one who claims to be Wang Sanxiang's godson?
"it is good!--"

There were bursts of shouts from the crowd, and many people on the beams took off their shirts directly, and fell on the spot in circles, booing and applauding again and again.

Yinbao squeezed through the crowd, stood closest to the two stones, widened her 10.0 eyes, and compared the almost identical patterns.

These people are very smart and know that among the mother-child stones, the mother-stone is more likely to be hollow.But there is no skin connection between the son and mother stones, but it arouses Yinbao's suspicion.

I saw that small, pocket-sized stone with a very round body. It has the skin pattern of a pebble, but it is as big as a swallow's nest. It is so round and delicate. If it is naturally formed, it can be said to be once in a thousand years.

The texture on it is staggered every nine steps, and the head and tail are natural, not fast in and fast out, soft and atmospheric.There are many overlaps with the characteristics of Liuli jadeite.

However, how did the thin layer of hoarfrost-like spots formed on it?
Once the jade is mined, it will be washed with warm water, and then stored in a boutique room that closely mimics the temperature and humidity of the original place.The marks on it are deep and stubborn, as if carved into the bone marrow, and have been with the stone for a long time.

Besides, Yin Bao himself didn't believe that it was from colored glaze.

We must know that in history, not only in the Jin Dynasty, since Ren Xulai in the Western Zhou Dynasty discovered the first piece of glazed jadeite, for thousands of years, until modern times, no one has been lucky enough to see the clues of this treasure handed down from generation to generation. .

It is not known whether the jadeite of the colored glaze was sealed somewhere by Ren Xulai, or whether it had been destroyed.The Great Jin Dynasty was more than 1000 years away from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Yin Bao gently supported his chin with his right hand, his eyebrows were tightly frowned, and Jin Lian beside him had never seen Yin Bao's tangled appearance before, so she waited quietly and dared not speak.

Could it be that this white spot is the trace of the magma being burned?Thousands of years have passed, the mountains have become flat, the altitude has risen, and the world has changed.

Perhaps it was due to geological reasons that Ren Xulai missed this stone at that time and did not mine it, but was discovered by the people of Yuhuan Pavilion?
Looking at another mother stone weighing more than 70 kilograms, only one side has a similar texture to the child stone, and the depth of the steps on the other sides is very disordered, making it difficult to distinguish true from false.

There are still many indescribable deep marks on the edges and corners of the whole body. It seems that it has been bruised. In order to maintain a good shape, the stone body has been cut in thin layers.

Snapped!
Li Jiang was standing next to the table, and seeing the prince in purple clothes, he was so angry that he spat aside, and asked the rich boy behind him to bring all the remaining bank notes in his hand, and put them on the table, "Eight thousand 800 taels! Who else!"

Yin Bao swallowed his saliva lightly, turned his head to look at the prince in purple, and saw that his face was dripping with sweat, and he kept wiping it with a handkerchief, urging the rich boy to get the money from the box.

Seeing the two big dealers arguing, the recommender was very happy, his head was sweating, and he was trembling slightly while holding the notebook in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Wang Gongzi's rich boy just took a few tickets, squatted on the ground, raised his head, widened his eyes and shook his head, Wang Gongzi held a thick stack of bank notes, and pointed at Li Jiang viciously, "You are amazing! We The rivers and lakes are far away, just wait and see!"

The recommender hurriedly put out a smiling face, and was about to hit it with a small hammer, "Eight thousand eight hundred taels once!"

"Eight thousand five hundred two times!"

"Eight thousand eight hundred two or three times!"

A small hand suddenly raised from the crowd, "Wait!"

Everyone was silent, looked this way, had time to rest, standing at the door of Shuixiangju to watch the excitement, the elder brother and the second elder brother stood on tiptoe, but they couldn't see the person calling.

"Good guy, there are more than 8000 taels and someone adds it? The people in Mizhuang are really rich!"

The crowd retreated a few steps slowly. Yinbao was wearing a plain flowered jacket and embroidered shoes mended by his mother, standing upright in front of the two stones.

The two brothers were so dumbfounded that their jaws almost fell to the ground.

"Brother, why do I think I'm hallucinating, it seems to be our daughter?"

The eldest brother squinted his eyes, "Oh, don't tell me, this old lady from a rich family looks a lot like my sister?"

The two were stunned for three seconds, looked at each other, then turned to look at Yin Bao who was surrounded by the crowd.

"I'm going, what a girl! Brother, drag her back quickly! Is this child drunk?"
