Jin Pinmei: A Girl Appraiser

72. The baby in the scroll

How much is such a string of emerald beads worth?Duanmu Baolian thought about it. Last time she saw a ring exhibited by a jewelry company. She introduced it as a bright green glass, with a length of twelve or three millimeters, a width of only seven or eight millimeters, and a height of five millimeters. Little bit of the ring, actually asking price 120 million.

The reason why she remembered it so clearly was that there was a very, very beautiful woman who tried on that ring at that time, but people also said that the emerald ring was the treasure of their jewelry company and was not for sale.

That woman is really beautiful, her fingers are also white and slender, she looks very good with that emerald ring, this is how Duanmu Baolian felt back then, so she was deeply impressed.

There are 36 beads, the particles are full and round. If you cut them from the middle, you can make 72 large rings. The material of her jadeite seems to be better than what I saw in the jewelry company that time.

What did the waiter say last time?The same gray water, one point higher in color, ten times higher in price?So, if such a bead is sold, it must be worth at least 300 million? Aren't 36 beads worth tens of millions?

Duanmu Baolian picked up the string of beads as she thought about it. It must have been old. The things from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China have been around for hundreds of years. The silk thread wearing the beads has begun to decay and is not very strong.

Duanmu Baolian brought a brocade box and put them carefully inside. She was going to buy some more reliable ropes for wearing jade tomorrow and wear them anew. It's better not to entrust others with such things.

Looking at the disfigured shaft that she tossed about, Duanmu Baolian thought, in a few days, send this painting, and find someone to paper it again. She remembered that there was a family at the top of Antique Street doing paper paper business of.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Baolian suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something inside the scroll, but at the other end, her tweezers couldn't reach it, so she turned the shaft upside down and buckled it vigorously, but it still didn't work. Buckle the contents out.

There was no way, it was already destroyed anyway, Duanmu Baolian took the chainsaw and sawed the other end, and then she found that it turned out to be a ball of yellowed paper with words written on it.

Duanmu Baolian unfolded it carefully, and saw that it read——

"In the 26th year of Guangxu, the powerful powers deceived us into the Qing Dynasty. The queen mother and the emperor retreated in a hurry, and left a string of emerald rosary beads with Ningshou Palace. The slaves picked them up and hid them in the scrolls for fear of losing them."

Duanmu Baolian stared blankly at the string of rosary beads, only to feel a rumbling sound in her head, empress dowager cixi's emerald rosary... these are actually empress dowager cixi's emerald rosary?

No wonder this color of water is so outstanding, even under a flashlight and a magnifying glass, you can't find the slightest flaw.

She remembered all kinds of legends about jade. In ancient times, China's jade culture definitely did not refer to jade, but Hetian jade, or jasper.

The reason why jadeite can rise is because Cixi liked it in the late Qing Dynasty, so her liking led to the prevalence of jadeite. Perhaps, it started in the late Qing Dynasty, but it is popular and modern.

But, no matter what, that old woman back then held a lot of power, poured the power of the whole country, and was extremely extravagant. The emerald rosary she was playing with was naturally the best in the world.
