Jianbao life

Chapter 1091 Sui Zhu
"That's not right!"

Just when everyone was nervous, Chu Yulan showed a puzzled look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunlin asked.

Chu Yulan replied: "I don't think this should be Ye Mingzhu."

"Why isn't a pearl that glows automatically?" Except for Chu Chen, everyone else was very puzzled.

Chu Yulan explained: "It's very simple. Ye Mingzhu is like the cup full in our house. Usually, the light must be turned off to emit a dim light, but now that the light is so abundant, this bead can actually bloom so brightly. The eye-catching light should not be the night pearl."

After hearing these words, everyone thinks right, even if it is a treasure like Changman Cup, you need to turn off the light to see it glow, and as the name suggests, Ye Mingzhu must only shine at night, and you can see the light in broad daylight. How could it be Ye Mingzhu?

But if it wasn't a night pearl, what would this bead be?

While everyone was contemplating there, Zhao Yunlin said with some concern: "It's not because there are too many radioactive substances, so it glows during the day, right?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Mom, you really think too much, let alone other things, if there are too many radioactive substances, how can this bit of gilt stop it? Such a long fragrance?"

Zhao Yunlin thought about it, and felt that her son's words were indeed reasonable, so she gradually let go of her heart.

When Wu Ke heard that this was not Ye Mingzhu, she couldn't help being curious and wanted to come over.

Zhao Yunlin quickly stopped her and said, "Xiao Ke, don't come here."

Wu Ke said in surprise: "Since this is not Ye Mingzhu, it shouldn't matter."

Chu Chen shook his head: "After all, we don't know how this thing was formed, so it's better to be careful."

In fact, Chu Chen is completely unfounded, not to mention other things, if this bead is really harmful, the ability has already reminded him, even if the ability does not remind him, with his current sixth sense, he can advance early warning.

Wu Ke was very speechless after hearing this, and said with a hint of anger: "As you said, if there is really radioactive material, how did the original owner survive? This is not good, and that is not good. Then what do I do every day, lying in bed Is it? I've never heard of anyone who is as tired as I am during pregnancy."

After hearing Wu Ke's complaint, everyone fell silent immediately. Thinking about it, because Wu Ke was pregnant during this period, everyone's performance was indeed a little too nervous, and they were a little bit like soldiers. They also made many demands on Wu Ke, and put themselves in their shoes. I thought, if it was them, it would be unbearable after a long time.

"What's the matter with you guys?" At this time, Chu Yongning walked in from the door, seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he felt a little strange.

Wu Ke actually knows that everyone cares about her, for the sake of her and the child, but the excessive demands really make her feel disgusted, plus the emotional fluctuations just said it outright, no matter what, the current situation is her It caused it, so I apologized: "Dad, it's my fault..."

"It's none of Xiao Ke's business." Zhao Yunlin quickly interrupted Wu Ke and said, "We are too nervous. In fact, I think about it. If we really ask for it like we do, it will be no different from going to jail."

After hearing this, Chu Yongning almost understood what was going on. He said with a smile: "Let me just say it. I'm pregnant. How can anyone make so many demands like you? It's strange if you don't die from exhaustion."

Speaking of this, he said to Wu Ke: "Xiao Ke, you also understand Ah Chen's situation. Your mother is so nervous, and she also wants to make up for the regrets she had at the beginning. I hope you don't mind!"

Wu Ke quickly waved his hand, expressing that he would definitely not mind.

Then, Chu Yongning turned to Chu Chen and said, "Ah Chen, I also want to criticize you. There are so many people in the family, why do you, a big man, care so much? Are you afraid that everyone can't take care of Xiao Ke?"

Chu Chen scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly at Wu Ke, Wu Ke returned him a smirk, and a small disturbance passed like this.

At this time, Chu Yongning asked in surprise: "Ah Chen, what is that in your hand? Why is it still glowing? Could it be the Ye Mingzhu, no, the Ye Ming Pearl shouldn't be so bright, right?"

Chu Chen briefly explained the whole story to his father, and then said, "However, we still don't know what it is."

"Oh, so that's what happened. It seems that you got another treasure."

Since Chu Chen brings back rare treasures from time to time, Chu Yongning is already used to it. He said with a smile: "Since you don't know what it is, then first remove the gilding on the outside and see what it is. .”

"En!" Chu Chen nodded, and then used his nails to remove the gilt bit by bit. Soon, a round bead appeared in front of everyone.This bead looks particularly white, round and dazzling. It looks like a crystal candle when seen close up, and like a bright moon on the sea when viewed from a distance. It is a precious bead at a glance.

"Huh." Chu Chen let out a sigh, and said strangely: "This seems to be a pearl!"

"Pearl?!" After hearing this, everyone came together curiously and observed them one by one. In the end, they were all surprised to find that it did look similar to the pearls on the market, but it was bigger than the pearls on the market. Most of the pearls, and relatively white.

"How could this pearl emit such a strong light!" Chu Yulan said incredulously.

Chu Chen said: "First of all, pearls will definitely glow when exposed to light..."

The reason why pearls shine is because the surface of pearls is covered with a layer of smooth colloid, which is the precious nacre.The various components contained in the nacre are nacre, which contains more than 90.00% calcium carbonate, and also contains a small amount of organic matter, some metal elements and fine water droplets.

These solid and liquid particles make the smooth nacre have good refractive properties. With it, pearls can emit sparkling pearls under the light, making them look crystal and lovely.

As for why the pearl emits such a strong light, Chu Chen thinks it may be because of the special arrangement of the internal substances. As for what is going on, it needs to be tested with an instrument to draw a conclusion.

But there is one thing that Chu Chen still finds very strange, that is, because the nacre quality is not very stable, pearls have a lifespan.Generally, a pearl can only "live" for more than 100 years. Its puberty is about 60 to [-] years. After a long time, the water droplets contained in the nacre layer will slowly run away and appear dull, and finally it will age and change color. , even withered and pulverized.Therefore, ancient pearls generally cannot be handed down to today.

But the result given by the ability is that this pearl has "survived" for more than 2000 years. This is very incredible to Chu Chen, and presumably no one believes that there will be pearls from more than 2000 years ago.If such a subversive incident spreads out, it is estimated that it will cause a sensation in the scientific community.

At this time, Wu Ke suggested: "Why don't we turn off the light and see if it glows?"

"Okay." Everyone agreed. Although Chu Chen felt that this was impossible, but considering that everyone was very interested and he was actually a little curious, he walked over and turned off the lights. But the result took him by surprise.

I saw that the pearl actually shone brightly, looking like a small energy-saving light bulb, very dazzling.

Zhao Yunlin was dumbfounded and said, "This...doesn't it mean that Pearl can't be spontaneous? What's going on here?"

Not to mention Zhao Yunlin, Chu Chen was already a little dumbfounded. A pearl that has "survived" for more than 2000 years is already amazing enough, but it still emits light by itself. Is this still a pearl?Could it be that he made a mistake?Everything in front of him made Chu Chen fall into doubt.

After seeing such an astonishing scene, the scene was silent, and it took a long time for everyone to come to their senses one after another.

At this time, Wu Ke said, "I think of a treasure that is more similar to this bead."

"What baby?" Everyone looked at Wu Ke curiously.

Wu Ke said word by word: "The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui."

"The Pearl of Suihou? What is this?" Except for Chu Chen, everyone seemed a little puzzled.

Chu Chen explained: "Actually, in ancient times, the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui and the Wall of Heshi were the treasures that many kings competed for. Among them, there are detailed records about these two treasures in "Han Feizi": "The wall of Heshi is not decorated with five Picking; the pearls of Suihou are not decorated with silver and yellow, their quality is so beautiful that they are not enough to decorate.', but, the allusion about Heshibi may be familiar to everyone, but the legend about the pearl of Suihou is little known... "

According to legend, it was an autumn in the Warring States Period, and the Marquis of Sui (the feudal lord in the present-day Jingchu area) of the Western Zhou Dynasty made a routine tour of the fiefdom.Traveling all the way, one day, Sui Hou suddenly found a giant snake on the hillside, and for some reason, he was cut in half.Due to the serious injury, the giant snake is dying, but its two bright eyes are still shining.

Seeing that the snake was huge and full of spirituality, the Marquis of Sui felt compassionate and immediately ordered his followers to apply medicine to heal his wounds.After a while, the giant snake regained its strength. It swayed its huge and flexible body. Under everyone's surprised eyes, it circled Suihou's carriage three times and swam straight to the vast forest.

A few months passed in a flash, and when Sui Hou came back from his tour, he met a yellow-haired boy on his way.He stopped Sui Hou's carriage, took out a huge and bright pearl from his bag, and offered it to Sui Hou.Sui Hou asked why, but the boy refused to tell.The Marquis of Sui thought that he could not be rewarded for his merits, so he insisted on not accepting this generous gift.

In the autumn of the next year, Marquis Sui went on another tour to the place where he met the big snake last year, and took a rest at a post in the middle of the mountain at noon.In his sleep, a yellow-haired boy came vaguely, Sui Hou thought, is this the one who presented the beads last year?How could it appear in my dream?
Just when Sui Hou was surprised, he saw the yellow-haired boy kneeling in front of him, saying that he was the incarnation of the giant snake that was rescued last year. In order to thank Sui Hou for saving his life, he came here to offer beads.

Hearing this, Sui Hou woke up suddenly, and found that there was an extra pearl on the head of the bed, so he sighed: "A snake knows how to repay kindness, but some people don't understand the principle of repaying favors. What's more, they return favors and repay their revenge." , What a pity!"

It's just that when the giant snake presented the treasure, it forgot the truth that treasures touch people's hearts. After the news of the Sui Hou's acquisition of the orb, it immediately aroused the covetousness of the princes of all countries. It was just a small country, and in the end Sui Zhu fell into the hands of King Wu of Chu.

Later, Qin State destroyed Chu State, and Sui Zhu was occupied by Qin Shihuang again, and was regarded as the national treasure of Qin State.After the fall of Qin, the world was in chaos, and Sui and Zhu never knew where to end.

After telling the story, Chu Chen continued: "It's just that this Sui Pearl is not clearly recorded in the history books like He's Bi, so whether it is true or not, there has been no conclusion for a long time, and it is just such a pearl. , even if it is quite miraculous and special, how can it be proved that it is the Sui Pearl?"

Wu Ke said: "It can't be said that there is no clear record of Sui Zhu. For example, "Lu Shi Chunqiu. Guansheng Pian" uses "Sui Pearl Playing a Sparrow" to describe the principle of overkill: "Today someone used Sui Hou's pearl to play Qian Ren. What is it?' Just, I remember that it is difficult for things like pearls to be handed down for 100 years, and I think it is definitely impossible for more than 2000 years."

Chu Yulan nodded: "It is true that the preservation time of pearls is limited, and I also think that this pearl is unlikely to be the original Sui pearl, but then again, since this pearl can emit light by itself, it will last for a long time It makes sense at all, so, I think from this point of view, it may also be Sui Zhu."

Chu Yongning nodded and said: "Xiao Lan is right, but like what Ah Chen said, it is still difficult to prove that it is a Sui Pearl from more than 2000 years ago without relevant information."

In fact, judging by the results given by the supernatural ability, this pearl should be the legendary Sui Pearl, but such a result is not convincing, and it is impossible for Chu Chen to complain about it to the people.

He smiled openly and said: "Actually, I don't really care if it can be proved that it is a Sui pearl. After all, no one would say that it is not a treasure because of such a self-luminous pearl, right? Besides, what I care about is why? It makes it self-luminous, so I decided to take it to the laboratory for research tomorrow. With the research results, maybe it can be used in industry.”

Chu Yongning said happily after hearing the words: "This is reasonable. We should develop high-tech products as much as possible to contribute to the construction of the country. A Chen, your laboratory has already produced several research results, can you Can't it be put into production as soon as possible?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yunlin said angrily, "Ah Chen is so busy now, and if you still want to order him like this, you won't be afraid of exhausting his body!"

Chu Yongning said speechlessly: "He is as strong as a cow, can he be exhausted?"

"That's not OK……"

Seeing the two parents arguing, Chu Chen quickly said: "Dad, I will definitely put the research results into production, but there are still many difficulties to be solved from the laboratory to the production line, and it is not easy to find a suitable manager. , so we can only take it slowly for the time being.”

Chu Yongning nodded again and again: "Well, it should be..."

Then, everyone discussed the pearl for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, they went back to the house to rest.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was November. On this day, Chu Chen went to the museum as usual.

During this period of time, the museum's passenger flow was relatively stable. Although the number of tourists was not as high as that of the opening session and the National Day period, the profit was still more than enough. Therefore, Chu Chen was quite satisfied.

After wandering around for a while, Chu Chen received a call to understand the needs and opinions of several tourists, saying that someone wanted to ask him to appraise the antiques, and said that it was the crowd of onlookers recorded by Zhang Lv.

Since Chu Chen had promised them a chance for free appraisal, as long as he had time, he would usually not refuse, so Chu Chen, who hung up the phone, walked quickly to his office. When he was about to reach the door, he I saw two old men in their 60s and [-]s standing with the security guard at the door.

After saying hello, the other party introduced himself, and then Chu Chen enthusiastically invited the two old people into his office and made them a cup of tea.

One of the two old men was surnamed Yan and the other was surnamed Hua. Among them, the old man surnamed Hua took out two pieces of paper, handed them to Chu Chen and said, "Mr. Chu, you are too kind. Please take a look."

Chu Chen took a look at it, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what your second elder wants to identify?"

The old man surnamed Yan asked with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chu, can I ask you to look at two things for me?"

Anyway, I have nothing to do for the time being, Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, just take out the things you want to identify."

Mr. Yan quickly expressed his thanks, then took out a bracelet and said, "Actually, I don't want to ask you to appraise this item, but I just want to ask, is it valuable for collection?"

As soon as Chu Chen saw it, he could see that this bracelet was the "Bodhi seed" sold everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are generally many kinds of this "Bodhi seed". Representative varieties include high-end Nepalese Rudraksha, and low-end The end of the "thousand-eyed bodhi child".

They are often made into rosary beads, bracelets and pieces for sale. Vendors often shape them into bodhi seeds with "magic power" and bless them as a Buddhist. Because the price is not expensive and the things are more beautiful, people who buy them don't few.

Chu Chen took the bracelet into his hand and looked it over, then asked with a smile, "Old Yan, may I ask, where did you buy this bracelet?"

Old Yan replied: "When I went shopping for vegetables yesterday, I bought it from a peddler. At that time, he said that Bodhi seeds can become as smooth as these pendants after being polished with sandpaper, and have different patterns, just like It looks like a thousand eyes, and with different colors and patterns, the value-added potential is also huge. At that time, I chose a variety that he said had a relatively high value-added potential, and it was not expensive anyway..."
