Chapter 62 Night Pearl 2

Yu Zitong looked at a thin and plainly dressed old man in his sixties sitting opposite her. This is the sixth generation of the century-old shop Baoqingxiang, the special appraiser of the Royal Jewelry Society and the special professor of the National Jewelry and Jade College?

White hair, old-fashioned glasses, thin body, completely match his name, and he can't see the image of a generation of masters. This is not Yu Zitong's appearance, but some preconceived thinking that since he is a generation of giants engaged in the jewelry industry, he has to be energetic and rejuvenated. He never thought that it was such an old man who seemed to be drowsy.

Although Yu Zitong has had some dealings with Bao Qingxiang's managers in the circle, those were all etiquette parties, and what she saw was only some professional managers in charge of management. Bao Qingxiang's behind-the-scenes boss had never seen it.

Yu Yan didn't look down on the old man in front of him. The experience of the falcon told him that the more inconspicuous the person is, the more likely he is to be an influential person. When Yu Yan performs many tasks, he has to dress up as all kinds of unnoticed little people, but once he shows his true face, the impact will be fatal.

"Fang Lao, we want to invite you to have a look at this--" Yu Yan took out a night pearl the size of a baby's fist from his carry-on bag, and suddenly the room lit up.

Mr. Fang's dim and half-closed eyes suddenly shot a divine light. He stared at the things in Yu Yan's hand. After a long time, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Night Pearl?"

Mr. Fang hurriedly got up and closed the door, lights and curtains. He didn't see a trace of old age. He rushed over and said repeatedly, "Can you show me first?"

Yu Yan didn't expect him to react so much and hurriedly handed over Ye Mingzhu. Mr. Fang carefully took it over, and the first feeling he knew that it was not a flop. If it's true, such a big night pearl is really rare in the world!

Yu Yan and Yu Zitong saw Mr. Fang rubbing every part of the night pearl carefully and carefully in front of the magnifying glass. Their faces became more and more happy. Suddenly, they didn't know what they saw, but they actually shouted: "Ghost axes and axes, incredible, treasures, rare treasures--"

Yu Yan and Yu Zitong looked happy, and they were both very happy. Although Yu Yan thought that these night pearls must be valuable, after all, it was his own guess. Now a generation of masters actually said that this is a rare treasure, so naturally it can't be wrong.

Yu Zitong was not only happy for the value of Ye Mingzhu, but also heard the hope of saving the company. She couldn't help holding Yu Yan's hand tightly, and her slender palm was full of nervous sweat.

Yu Yan understood her mood, gently shook her hand, and scratched her middle finger twice in the palm of her hand. Yu Zitong only felt that her heartstrings seemed to have been flirted, and there was a special feeling of excitement on her body. She couldn't help but look at him. This guy was really bad, not like he had never touched a girl before.

Yu Yan naturally didn't know where Yu Zitong's mind had flown at this time. Seeing Fang Lao's face full of joy, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Fang, how's it going? Is this the real night pearl?

Mr. Fang came to his senses and sighed, "If this is not true, I'm afraid there will be no night pearl in the world." Seeing Yu Yan and Yu Zitong's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two, listen to me slowly."

"In many ancient books in our country, some jewelry and jade that shine at night are often mentioned. For example, "Warring States Policy· Chu I": It is to send the rhinoceros of chickens and the jade of night light to the king of Qin. Han Dongfangshuo's "Record of the Ten Continents in the Sea": During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Xihu Xian Kunwu's jade knife and night light were often full of cups. ...The cup is the essence of white jade, shining brightly at night. Of course, the most famous one may be He Shibi. Mr. Fang paused for a moment and said with a smile.

"Hawashibi?" Yu Yan and Yu Zitong were shocked. It was a treasure that a three-year-old child knew. This night pearl turned out to be the same treasure as Shibi. Isn't it valuable?

"Of course, this night pearl is not as good as He's wall. He's wall is not only old but also famous. Naturally, it is priceless, but it is a question whether it exists or not. But I'm sure that this night pearl and Heshi wall are made of the same material, and they are all natural, with no traces of artificial polishing, which is absolutely valuable. Yu Yan and Yu Zitong looked at each other and smiled. They were really a little greedy. How could this night pearl be compared with the ancient singing of Shibi?

"In modern times, many scientists have believed that the night pearl may be several special gemstone minerals, which are stimulated by external energy to produce luminescence. The ancients may have processed these things into beads or other shapes, which are the luminous wall or night pearls recorded in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign legends or historical books. In fact, China once found a light brown fluorite on a mine selection belt, which confirmed that the night pearl described by the Secretary Shi did exist, and China also has a collection.

Yu Yan frowned and asked, "This is inconsistent with historical facts. If Ye Mingzhu needs external stimulation to shine, it will not be a treasure. As far as I know, many emperors's palaces are illuminated with night pearls, and it is impossible to use external light sources. Of course, there is another living example in front of us. The night pearl in Yu Yan's hand has no light source, and it is still shining.

Fang Lao nodded with approval and said, "You're right. These glowing minerals need to be stimulated by the outside world in advance, which is different from what the ancient book says. Is there any jewelry and jade that can shine without light? It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi had such a night pearl in her mouth after her death.

Yu Yan remembered the legend of Sun Dianying's tomb robbery and said, "If there is really such a treasure, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of the tomb robbers." Yu Zitong looked at him with a smile. In the eyes of others, Yu Yan, who had this night pearl, was probably also a tomb robber.

Fang Lao said with a smile, "Wang Han has a poem: grapes and wine luminous glasses, if you want to drink the pipa, you will be urged immediately. There is no way to verify when and where the luminous cup, which has been widely praised for many years, came from. However, Gansu Jiuquan, which belongs to Liangzhou's hometown, also produces luminous cups. The raw materials are taken from Qilianyu on Qilian Mountain, which is also called luminous stone. In fact, this kind of Qilian jade belongs to Xiuyan jade, and it will not shine at night at all. So some people say that this night light cup is not the ancient night light cup.

The two listened to Mr. Fang's allusions like a story, and listened to him continue: "In fact, archaeologists have not excavated real night pearls, luminous jade, luminous cups and other cultural relics underground so far, so many people doubt whether they exist or not."

Yu Zitong said urgently, "Can you still doubt this? If you don't find it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Fang Lao laughed and said, "These are just some people's ideas. In fact, in our jewelry industry, no one has ever doubted the existence of Ye Mingzhu."

"Over the years, many people have made a fortune in the name of the night pearl, applying coating film and phosphorescent material to the surface of fluorite produced in Chuandong, Zhejiang and other places, and artificially synthesizing the so-called night pearl, and some of the "light" can last for three or five months or even a year. The real night pearl is not a fluorite, but a pure natural substance, with uniform color, soft and delicate light, and always shining.

Mr. Fang carefully picked up the night pearl and said, "Just like this one, we Bao Qingxiang have not seen this real night pearl for two hundred years. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could fulfill my ancestors' wishes. Let me see the legendary treasure at first sight, the rest of my wish is enough, and my wish is enough."

Both Yu Yan and Yu Zitong can understand his love and obsession with his work, and are deeply moved by his enthusiasm.

Mr. Fang said more and more excitedly, "What's more exciting is that this night pearl is used by the emperor. It has been more than 500 years ago. What a treasure it is. The old man can see it with his own eyes today, and he is dead without regret.

Yu Yan and Yu Zitong were "hit" by waves of joy that their heart beat so fasted many times. Yu Yan felt that Yu Zitong held his hand tightly, and the force in his hand surprised Yu Yan.

Yu Zitong suppressed her excitement and asked, "Mr. Fang, how do you know that this is used by the emperor? How do you know that it has been more than 500 years?

Mr. Fang said, "Come and have a look." Yu Yan and Yu Zitong walked in front of him. Mr. Fang held a magnifying glass and said, "Look carefully and see what you can see?"

Yu Zitong looked carefully and said in surprise, "It seems to be a red seal." Yu Yan's eyesight was very good. He had already seen that it was a small seal and wrote a few small words: "The orthodox emperor's seal of the Ming Dynasty."
