Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Li Mo was not lying. There was a looming dragon shadow in the wine glass. With a slight shake, the dragon shadows in the wine in the glass seemed to come alive. They were circling and intertwined in it. It was really a wonderful sight. No wonder this Nine Dragons Jade Cup was buried with Emperor Kangxi. The most precious piece of jewelry.

Other experts gathered around to watch, and sure enough, there seemed to be a dragon shadow floating in the cup.

"What a wonderful sight."

"No wonder this Kowloon jade cup caused such a big sensation when it was stolen. It is indeed not comparable to ordinary antiques."

"Professor Li, do you understand what's going on with the dragon shadow in this cup?"

Li Mo poured out the white wine in the glass, then stretched out his fingers to touch the inner wall of the wine glass carefully, and then said with a smile: "The inner wall is carved with nine dragon patterns, which is a relief carving method. I guess after pouring the white wine, because of the light, It uses the principle of refraction, so the nine embossed dragons we see will appear in the wine glass. When the wine glass shakes, the white wine fluctuates, so the dragon shadow in the glass will also change, making it look like it is alive."

Expert Chang marveled at the miracle again and again. He stretched his head to look at the empty glass, but found nothing. Then he asked the brown bear to pour the white wine again. Looking under the sun, nine looming dragon shadows appeared wandering in it.

Of course, this is the refraction of light that deceives people's eyes, but even so, once it is displayed, it will ignite the attention of audiences across the country. Just like the Hongwu celadon-glazed three-clawed dark dragon amphora from the Ming Dynasty that Li Mo found on Taobao. Through the illumination of light, people can clearly see a three-clawed dragon hidden under the celadon glaze.

"Professor Li, this is a rare treasure, a masterpiece among national treasures. This matter needs to be reported to the superior immediately."

"Expert Chang is right, please report it to me."

How could Expert Chang have the nerve to report the birth of such a rare treasure to his superiors on behalf of so many people? Moreover, looking at the situation, the Kowloon Jade Cup was obviously obtained through unconventional means. There was too much involved behind this matter, and I am afraid that only Li Mo, the client, was the most confident to communicate with his superiors.

"Professor Li, please stop joking with me. It's okay for me to do some small work, but I can't explain such an important thing. It's better for you to do it, and we will handle the rest."

Li Mo walked aside, took out his mobile phone and dialed Qin Yali's number. He answered the call after it rang more than ten times and was about to hang up automatically.

"Professor Li, are there any major discoveries over there? We happen to be in a meeting to discuss the follow-up matters of those Qin and Han bronzes."

Li Mo also said directly: "I found the Nine Dragon Jade Cup that was the first burial object of Emperor Kangxi. It is exactly like the legend. When you pour a glass of wine, you can see the wonder of the Nine Dragons circling. It is a rare treasure."

"What?" Qin Yali deliberately made a very shocked voice, "Professor Li, are there any other discoveries?"

"Yes, they are still being identified one by one."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Li Mo hung up the phone. He had fulfilled his responsibilities in this matter. As for how his superiors would investigate what happened thirty years ago, that was their business. He was too lazy to participate, otherwise his head would hurt every day. .

"Professor Li, come and take a look, another incredible treasure has appeared." Expert Chang waved to Li Mo, who quickly walked to him and saw him taking out a bead from an independent square box in the wooden box. To be precise, it is Dongzhu Chaozhu.

According to the "Qing Huidian" records, the emperor's concubines, civil servants of the fifth rank and military officers of the fourth rank and above are all worthy of hanging court beads. The emperor would also wear court beads of different textures on different occasions. For example, the emperor wore lapis lazuli beads when worshiping the sky, amber or honey wax beads when worshiping the earth, red coral beads when worshiping the sun, and turquoise beads when worshiping the moon.

The Dongzhu Chaozhu is the most noble of all Chaozhu. According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, Dongzhu Chaozhu can only be worn by the emperor, empress dowager and empress when holding ceremonies in the palace.

This dynasty pearl is made of 108 eastern pearls. Pearls are divided into northern and southern series due to different origins. In the Qing Dynasty, northern pearls produced in the northeastern region were called "eastern pearls". Dongzhu is a rare treasure. It is more crystal clear, round and huge than ordinary pearls, and it shows more royal dignity. It has been a tribute to successive dynasties since ancient times. As for Dongzhu, the Qing Dynasty had stipulated that only the palace could control it, and princes and ministers were not allowed to use it at will.

"Professor Li, for this miscellaneous treasure, can you roughly determine which emperor of the Qing Dynasty used it?"

Li Mo's eyes swept away, and the dark gray halo turned into circles of light and spread out. This was a treasure passed down from the early Qing Dynasty.

"It is estimated to be from before Emperor Kangxi. Specific historical documents are needed to authenticate and prove the true origin."

Other experts don't make any sense. There is no inscription on this thing, but there should be relevant records in historical documents.

First a Jiulong jade cup appeared, and then a Dongzhu Chaozhu appeared. Good things were discovered one by one.

I was busy until about five o'clock in the afternoon before going through all the containers. There were a total of 127 pieces of various antiques, 17 of which were missing treasures from the Forbidden City Museum, and one was in the hands of the Zhang family. The pair of gold-encrusted Kowloon beads bracelets.

Li Mo asked Brown Bear to arrange for all the experts and staff to have dinner first. He drank mineral water and sat on the shore looking at the sea, wanting to have some quiet time alone.

"Are you exhausted?" Fang Wenjing handed Li Mo a bag, which contained two grilled sausages and four skewers of mutton, exuding the aroma of cumin. "First, please rest your stomach."

Li Mo was not polite. He had just eaten a mutton skewer when something suddenly sounded, he turned his head and looked at Fang Wenjing and asked, "Sister Fang, didn't you say that pregnant women avoid these strong smells? How do you react?" None, specially ordered a few skewers for me."

"You can pull it down, it's a good idea. I was hungry, so I ordered some, and these are leftovers. Don't dislike them, they are all clean and put in a separate bag."

"Hahaha, I wondered when Sister Fang was so careful, thank you." Li Mo commented while eating the mutton skewers, "The mutton is too lean, the best kind is the kind of fat and thin, except for cumin. Add some chili noodles on top of it, and serve it immediately after roasting the mutton oil, it will be refreshing to eat.”

"When you get old, do you want us to cooperate to set up a barbecue stall outside, you will do the barbecue, and I will be the waiter?"

"I'm fine, but is your husband willing?"

"Okay, don't be silly, the matter here is over for the time being, and the next investigation and trial is the most important thing. I don't know how much public opinion will be caused this time. You should also be prepared in your heart. Every time you basically No one can escape the cusp of the storm.”

Li Mo stood up and said indifferently: "Just get used to it. I haven't seen any big storms, so it doesn't matter. Let's go, you treat me to mutton skewers, and I treat you to eat bird's nest and shark's fin."

"The biggest advantage of being friends with you is that you can eat whatever you want."

"Haha, it's all about money."

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Li Mo's luxury car was parked in front of the Qin family's compound, and the security guard at the gate hurried up and said, "Mr. Li, I parked the car in the parking lot outside. For the races in the Hutong, the streets come to the streets every day to announce the horn, and your car will stop here for no more than ten minutes before the horn sounds."

"That troubles you."

Li Mo walked into the compound with two bottles of old wine from the car, and the nannies and security guards on the road all greeted him respectfully. There were other people who came to the Qin family compound today. Li Mo originally wanted to leave the living room and sit and drink tea in the study next door, but Mr. Qin waved at him: "Here you are, why are you hiding? Come here."

Li Mo had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the living room: "Grandpa, aunt."

As for the other people in the living room, Li Mo chose to ignore after a few thoughts, and sat on the sofa beside him.

"Brother-in-law." Jia Siyuan called him and nodded slightly.

It's not the right time to come today, it seems that Jia's family is here to talk about something, Qin Yali's face is not good-looking, her ex-husband and family members are all smiling, but the smile looks awkward and embarrassing, as if being forced to do so .

"Mr. Qin, there are thousands of mistakes, and it's all our old couple's fault. We have treated Yali badly in the past, and here we apologize to you, to Yali, please forgive me."

Mr. Jia was a little humble at this moment.

Elder Qin said calmly: "There is no perfect person in the world. At my age, there is nothing I can't figure out. As long as Yali is willing to remarry, I will not interfere in any way."

All three members of the Jia family looked at Qin Yali expectantly, hoping that she would change her mind and agree to remarry.

"So what if we get remarried?" Qin Yali said after thinking for a while, "If we get remarried, we can go back to the past, and we can continue to live happily together? We live not only for the family, I live for my family, and more for myself. I am living happily now, never before. I have parents who love me, my son is filial, I have my own job, and I have my own living space. Why should I How about going back to the old life? Can you guys come up with good enough reasons to convince me?"

The living room suddenly became quiet. I didn't expect that after talking so much, Qin Yali didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​remarriage.

"Siyuan, are you persuading your mother?"

Old Jia was a little anxious.

Jia Siyuan shook his head slightly: "I have also seen through many things. As long as my mother is happy and at ease, I will not interfere in her life and affect her decision. Grandpa, grandma, dad, although I don't know what is going on with you I thought about it, but let the past go, even if the broken mirror is reunited, there will still be gaps in the mirror after all."

Li Mo glanced at Jia Siyuan, this kid is really enlightened.

The atmosphere in the living room was very depressing, Li Mo didn't sit or leave, after all, this was someone else's family business, what would it look like sitting here as an audience.

"Siyuan, you go to the back kitchen to arrange a family banquet for guests at noon." Qin Lao ordered, and Jia Siyuan got up and walked out of the living room. The Jia family couldn't sit still any longer, they stood up and said goodbye and left. Since things can't be discussed, how can they eat this meal?

After they left, Qin Yali had tears at the corners of her eyes. After wiping them away, she said stubbornly, "I am very happy living alone, and my superiors have started talking to me again, and I will be promoted by half a level next month. "

"Congratulations to my aunt for her promotion. I brought two bottles of old wine today. I have to offer my aunt a glass of wine to express my congratulations."

"It's not all your fault."

Mr. Qin smiled slightly and continued: "Xiaomo, I heard that you found more than a dozen treasures in the container of the merchant ship that disappeared in the Palace Museum thirty years ago, especially the Nine Dragons Jade Cup of Emperor Kangxi. Is it so magical? "

"Grandpa, no matter how miraculous it is, it's impossible to conjure up nine real dragons. It's all a spectacle created by vision."

"A group of dogs eating inside and out."

Elder Qin couldn't help cursing, he has completely retired and lived in seclusion at home now, so he doesn't ask about many things anymore, and he doesn't put forward any opinions.

"As the saying goes, evil is rewarded with evil, this time they all fell down at once, and spent the rest of their lives."

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Jia Siyuan walked into the living room with a plate of fruit, glanced at him and asked, "Are they all gone?"

"Siyuan, they are your grandparents and father after all." Qin Yali reminded softly.

"I know, it's just that I have seen through their nature. When they are really old and can't move, I will still support them until the end. Now I will give them enough living expenses every month. I think I have been very good to them."

Jia Siyuan made so many big troubles before, the Jia family's influence on him is the most important. That kid also learned from the painful experience, and he realized it completely. Now he no longer pays much attention to the so-called identity, and runs his own chain stewed vegetable restaurant every day, earning money that makes his heart feel at ease.

"Siyuan, when will you get married?"

Li Mo asked suddenly, restarting the topic.

"I have successfully proposed to my girlfriend, and we plan to hold a wedding on National Day in October. Later, my girlfriend said to get the certificate first, and the wedding will be held when she is free, and if she is not free, she doesn't care much about these red tapes."

"What do the woman's parents do?"

"They are all farmers, and they are from the mountains in Sichuan. It used to be difficult to go home, but now it is different. Brother-in-law, you have invested a lot of money in repairing bridges and roads there. Our car can almost drive directly to the door of our house. Although my daughter-in-law is not very beautiful, she has exquisite facial features, and the point is that she can endure hardships with me, she is very virtuous."

Jia Siyuan said that the face here is full of happiness, even Qin Yali showed a very pleased look, her marriage is undoubtedly a failure, but her son can be born again, she is already content, life is still very kind to her.

"The wedding must be held, but you can't learn from me. You and I didn't hold a wedding, and sometimes I feel very guilty when I think about it, and I owe her a lot. Since you have already argued, then you can raise the wedding matter to the agenda. , Go back and do it in Kyoto, and then go to the wife’s hometown to do it again, and it will be beautiful, don’t leave any regrets for your daughter-in-law.”

"Yeah, brother-in-law, I listen to you."

"Brother-in-law will give you a wedding bag later."
