Chapter 447

As a Buddhist tool, Buddhist beads have never been a rare thing, especially nowadays, it has also been given a symbol of fashion culture. Even those who do not believe in Buddhism, there are still one or two strings, as a kind of embellishment, for themselves Decorations that add luster, and now there are many places that sell Buddhist beads, around temples, jewelry stores, antique shops, and even street stalls. There are countless materials and styles.

Most of the people who participated in the special exhibition of palace treasures today are from the antique circle. They are naturally very familiar with the Buddhist beads, which are portable instruments that symbolize the wisdom of all beings. Believe it or not, everyone has a certain degree of reverence for Buddha.

But today, when people saw the beads that Li Dacheng took out from his clothes, one by one, they were all stunned. They had seen big ones, thick ones, and long ones, but they had never seen such big, so thick, and so The long one was wrapped around the neck twice, and it took a long time to take it out. If it wasn't for this boss Li holding it with his hand and wearing it in a single loop, it would definitely touch the ground.

Is this the prayer beads for Yao Ming?
Qian Cheng was also stunned. As the young owner of Forbes Auction House, he had seen more Buddhist beads than ordinary collectors, but he had never seen such thick and long Buddhist beads. They were all dumbfounded.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone began to squeeze forward, wanting to see more clearly and carefully.

"Boss Li, are your strings really Buddhist beads?" Someone asked in surprise, staring at the Buddhist beads in Li Dacheng's hand, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't leave them for a moment.

Li Dacheng didn't answer, but there was a mysterious smile on his face.

"Could it be that Tang Xuanzang wore it?"

"What is the material of the Buddha beads on it? Jade? Emerald? Agate? Or some other gem? Why haven't I seen more of them?"

"No, no, no, this is not emerald, nor agate, this is..."

"It's a pearl!"

"Impossible, pearls are not so big."

"This is indeed a pearl." An elderly man stared intently at the Buddhist beads in Li Dacheng's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "However, it has a more familiar name, Dongzhu, which is not a pearl at all. Instead of stringing Buddha beads, they are Chaozhu, Dongzhu Chaozhu, Dongzhu Chaozhu, which only emperors, empresses and queen mothers could wear in ancient times."

Dongzhu Chaozhu?

Hearing the old man's words, the audience fell silent instantly. Everyone's eyes were wide open, with incredible shock expressions on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

Dongzhu, also known as Dazhu and Meizhu, the Qing Dynasty called the pearls produced in the Northeast region Dongzhu, which is used to distinguish the Nanzhu produced in the south, mainly produced in HLJ, Wusuli River, Yalu River and so on. Watershed, its characteristic is that it should be crystal clear and clear with ordinary pearls, and it is more round and huge. It has been the tribute of successive dynasties since ancient times.

In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers regarded Dongzhu as a treasure, and used it to inlay on the crown ornaments that expressed power and honor to show their identity and show royal authority, including Chaozhu, using Dongzhu produced in the Songhua River The court beads made are the most precious, and only emperors, empresses and empress dowagers can wear them. These are Dongzhu court beads.

Because it is a treasure that only emperors, empresses and empress dowagers can wear, it is quite precious. As for the handed down, it is even rarer. There are only a few pieces that have been publicly displayed, and they are all the treasures of major museums. And its value cannot be measured by money, because it is something that money cannot buy, it is too little.

"This, this... is this really Dongzhu Chaozhu?" After a long time, someone came to his senses, but his eyes were still dull. This kind of treasure can only be described as rare, and the chance of encountering it is usually about the same as winning the lottery.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Someone kept rubbing his eyes with his hands, still unable to believe what he saw.

"Except for the Beijing Museum, I have never seen the Eastern Pearl and the Chaozhu in other places. This is a truly priceless treasure, a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times more precious than any palace treasures here."

"Just this string of Eastern and Chaozhu beads is worth the fare. No, it's a bargain, a huge bargain."

Everyone was amazed, they could no longer describe their feelings in words.

This kind of reaction was also expected by Ye Jin. In fact, when she saw the string of Eastern Pearls hanging on Li Dacheng's chest in the car, she herself was stunned. She didn't recover for a long time. She went through a red light and almost crashed a car. In fact, when she saw the whole picture of this string of eastern beads just now, she was also stunned for a while, because the whole string of beads was more beautiful than she imagined. She secretly decided that after going back today Be sure to take a good look.

"Fake, it must be fake." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly. When people turned their gazes from the top of the Dongzhu Chaozhu to the place where the sound came from, they found that the person who shouted was the one who took out the emerald Buddha beads before. Qian Cheng, the young owner of Forbes Auction House.

At this time, Qian Cheng's face was red, his veins were bulging, his breathing was short of breath, his chest was heaving violently, his body was trembling non-stop, and there was nothing but shock in his bloodshot eyes.

fake?

A discerning person can tell at a glance that Qian Cheng is forcing himself not to believe, otherwise he wouldn't be so panicked.

"No." Before Li Dacheng could speak, someone explained it for Li Dacheng. It was the old man who recognized the Dongzhu Chaozhu just now, and he said, "Do you think Dongzhu Chaozhu is an ordinary antique that can be faked?" ?The Dongzhu Chaozhu was supervised by the Imperial Palace Manufacturing Office, and it has gathered countless skilled craftsmen. Both the material and the craftsmanship are amazing. Look at the Dongzhu on the Dongzhu Chaozhu. It not only has the typical characteristics of Dongzhu, but also Take his size as an example, even the pearls today are incomparable, let alone natural ones, even if they are artificially cultured, there are no such big pearls. There are other accessories, such as deep red and dense high-quality red coral Buddha Buddha's head, lapis lazuli beads on both sides of the Buddha's head, bat-shaped knot made of red coral, emerald pendant horns of imperial green, and three commemorative strings on both sides of the beads, the top is made of turquoise, each string has ten beads, and the tail Topped with rubies, sapphires and tourmaline corners..."

Since the old man is the closest, the magnifying glass in his hand is almost pasted on the Dongzhu Chaozhu, so he can see it very clearly. One by one, he describes all the beads on the Dongzhu Chaozhu. all over.

"The bright yellow sash on it represents the identity of this string of court beads, because the bright yellow sash can only be used by the emperor, empress and empress dowager. Even the princes use all green or golden yellow." Speaking of which, the old man He paused for a moment, looked away from the chao beads, looked at Li Dacheng and asked, "Li, Mr. Li, whose string of east and chao beads belong to you?"

"Of course it's mine." Li Dacheng said.

"No, you misunderstood me, I mean the original owner of this string of Eastern Pearl and Chaozhu, who is the emperor, empress or empress dowager?" the old man asked.

Hearing the old man's words, everyone pricked up their ears. The old man has already made it very clear that the East Beads are precious. Even if you don't say it, everyone understands it in their hearts. Then the next thing they care about most is naturally the string of East Beads. The original owner of Chaozhu.

Li Dacheng glanced at the crowd, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "It is said that it belongs to Empress Dowager Renshou."

"Empress Dowager Renshou?" The old man was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise, "Could it be, is it Emperor Yongzheng's biological mother?"

"Yes." Li Dacheng said with a smile.

Everyone gasped, the birth mother of Emperor Yongzheng and the empress of Emperor Kangxi, this status is absolutely prominent, indeed worthy of such a string of exquisite treasures in the world.

At this time, Qian Cheng's face was ashen, and the questioning just now not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also trapped himself in it. Doesn't this give him a reputation for being blind?
Qian Cheng looked at the old man who spoke just now. He knows this old man. He is the curator of a provincial museum. He worked as a researcher in the Beijing Museum in his early years and is also very famous in the antique circle. Otherwise, he will come to participate in the exhibition today. People in this world will not believe the other party's words so easily.

The point is, this old man received an invitation from their company to come here specially to participate in today's special exhibition of Qing court treasures. At this time, targeting him made Qian Cheng feel a little bit like shooting himself in the foot.

Dongzhu Chaozhu?Isn't this a foul?
"Mr. Qian, what do you think of today's return gift?" Li Dacheng asked Qian Cheng, who looked at the ugly face.

Qian Cheng trembled all over, his eyes moved to Li Dacheng, and he said desperately, "Boss Li, today we are competing against the Buddha, what are you doing with a string of court beads?"

"Qian Cheng, you also work in the auction house anyway, and you can be regarded as a person in the antique circle. Don't you even know that Chaozhu was developed from Buddhist beads?" Li Dacheng looked at Qian Cheng with a sneer and said.

Qian Cheng was so choked that he didn't know how to refute. Of course he knew that Chaozhu was developed from Buddhist beads, but who would have thought that the other party would come up with another Chaozhu after the comparison with Buddhist beads?The other party didn't play cards according to common sense at all.

Qian Cheng raised his feet slightly, looked up at his father who was standing outside the crowd, and looked for a solution. Uncle Zheng had emerald Buddha beads. Does any other uncle have more precious Buddha beads or court beads than Dongzhu Chaozhu?If there is, quickly bring it to fight the fire.

Qian Dafu's complexion was not much better than his son's. Although he stood outside the crowd, he not only heard but also saw what happened in the crowd, especially the string of east beads and court beads, which not only surprised him, It almost blinded his titanium alloy eyes.

Who the hell walks around wearing something like this?

Although Fubi teamed up with other auction houses to ban Huaigu, didn't they succeed in the end?As for taking out a string of Dongzhu Chaozhu to smash the field?

A string of beeswax Buddha beads was already difficult enough to deal with, and finally borrowed a pair of emerald beads to deal with it, but now, another pair of Dongzhu Chaozhu was brought out. Qian Dafu thought for a long time, but he didn't expect anyone to be more powerful than Dongzhu Chaozhu. Good Buddhist beads or court beads, at least with the connections that Fubi has accumulated over the years, it is impossible to find any of them.

Forbes Auction House has survived for so many years, and now it is going to fall into the hands of a young boy. Isn't this a laughing stock?

Seeing his son looking at him, Qian Dafu knew that it would be impossible for him not to show up, and his son couldn't do it, so he had to show up.

"Boss Li." Qian Dafu adjusted his mood, showed a smiling face, and walked into the crowd as if nothing happened.

"Boss Qian." The smile on Li Dacheng's face grew stronger, and he finally lured Fubi's boss out, thinking that the other party could keep hiding and not showing his face.

"Boss Li, today is just an ordinary palace antique exhibition. I really didn't expect you to bring out a Dongzhu Chaozhu to join us. Thank you very much."

As soon as Qian Dafu said it was okay, everyone around him was stunned.

What?Join us?

Isn't it a mess?When did it become a show?

You were on edge just now, why did you laugh again all of a sudden?The atmosphere is wrong.

However, Li Dacheng became more cautious and looked at the other party carefully. When he saw the other party in the hotel last time, he knew that the other party was not a good person. Up.

"It's not rude to come and go. You Fubi gave a big gift when we previewed the nostalgia. Naturally, I want to return the gift." Li Dacheng said lightly. From the moment the other party opened his mouth, he knew that the other party could not come up with more than this string. Dongzhu and Chaozhu are even better treasures, so I thought about turning big things into small things, but there is no way.

"Boss Li, there is one thing that I really don't understand. You used to say return the gift, but now you say it's non-reciprocal, and you also said that we, Fubi, gave you a big gift during the preview of your nostalgia. What's going on? Is there some misunderstanding here? I don’t remember sending someone to attend your nostalgic preview.” Qian Dafu said puzzled.

"Don't remember? No way? Then do you still remember Zhu Dagang?" Li Dacheng asked, little boy, do you still want to pretend at this time?It seems that today's mess is not complete.

"Zhu Dagang? Who is Zhu Dagang?"

Hearing Qian Dafu's words, it was Li Dacheng's turn to be stunned this time, the other party didn't know Zhu Dagang?Pretend?Just now, Qian Cheng was so... Li Dacheng glanced at Qian Cheng, but found that the other party looked stiff and flustered, holding the string of emerald beads tightly in both hands, and looked down at the ground.After Li Dacheng saw it, he seemed to understand something.

"You have to ask your son about this, he knows better than anyone else." Li Dacheng said lightly.

Qian Dafu turned his head to look at his son beside him, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Qian Cheng glanced at Li Dacheng secretly, then whispered into his father's ear.Although he didn't admit it before, his current behavior is no different from admitting it, it's like slapping himself in the face.However, Qian Cheng can't control so much now.

Qian Dafu's expression was fine at first, but as he listened, his expression changed. Before that, he wondered why Huaigu came to attack him. He thought it was the banning that angered the other party, but he didn't expect that the problem was his son. .

I asked you to give Huaigu some color, but I didn't ask you to mess up the situation!
Something more than enough to fail!
