Chapter 714

One day later, Wang Xiaoxi and Lu Zigang each brought a wooden box.

Wang Xiaoxi presents the box first. The magistrate opened it and found a Jade Butterfly hairpin in it. Jade has always been pure color, if the color is miscellaneous, the price is not high.

But Wang Xiaoxi's idea is very clever. He carved the variegated part into a butterfly. In this way, the hairpin still looks as white as tallow, while the butterfly is colorful. What's more wonderful is that the hairpin is carved from a whole piece of jade, but the butterfly on the hairpin head can vibrate slightly.

It turned out that Wang Xiaoxi was good at penetrating carving, and then he carved the wings of butterflies with a jade knife, so that a hard piece of jade could vibrate with the wind.

When the magistrate saw that Wang Xiaoxi was so skillful, he was surprised. Lu Zigang presented his box.

When the magistrate opened it, he saw a crab shaped wine seat carved from sapphire. It seems that although the knife work is also quite wonderful, compared with Wang Xiaoxi's butterfly hairpin, it is plain.

As soon as Liu Sizhe said this, Dong pangzi next to him said eagerly, "in this way, Lu Zigang will lose!"

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "fat man, don't interrupt. Listen to me finish the story..."

Seeing this, the magistrate sighed and was about to come to a conclusion. However, Lu Zigang was neither humble nor arrogant. He saluted and said, "my Lord, most people have no dreams, and most skillful people have no work. Jade is a spiritual thing, and the villain makes this horizontal seat, which is also a spiritual thing. "

The magistrate heard the strange words and said, "is there anything wonderful about this wine shop?"

Lu Zigang said, "my Lord, you just need to put a cup of hot wine on it to know."

The magistrate was so curious that he immediately asked his servants to iron a pot of wine and put a cup on the wine stand.

Strange to say, as soon as the wine cup was put on, the jade crab crawled on the table. When it was alive, it crawled around the four corners of the table. When it came back to the magistrate, the wine was warm, just at the entrance.

When Wang Xiaoxi saw him, his face was like earth color. He did not expect that Lu Zigang could have such a clever idea. No matter how finely he carved the butterfly hairpin, he could not escape the craftsmanship.

In this contest, Wang Xiaoxi not only lost the qualification to go to the vassal palace, but also lost kundao. At that time, he was so anxious that his blood gushed out and he fainted to the ground

"And then?" After hearing this, Dong asked again.

Liu Sizhe shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "what else can we do, of course, is to complete the task of the vassal, and then return with honor!"

Dong pangzi murmured: "well, Lu Zigang's KUNKAI Dao is so good!"

Next to Zhang Yanbin, he laughed and said, "fat man, I think your brain is broken. You really believe this story!"

Dong chubby turned his mouth and said, "what's the matter? Wu Daozi's paintings can move when they are put into the water. What's the matter with the crabs made by Lu Zigang

"Wu Daozi's paintings are also legends. In reality, I don't believe you can still see them?" Zhang Yanbin can't laugh or cry.

Dong chubby smile: "you said this, if really did not see, I can say so?"

Listen to him say so, Zhang Yanbin was a little stunned, after a while, he said with an incredible face: "really false, you are not daydreaming?"

"What do you say?" Dong Pang asked back with a smile.

Zhang Yanbin looks at Dong pangzi strangely, turns to Liu Sizhe and Chu Chen, and finds that they are all smiling.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanbin suddenly thought of a possibility. He was a little shocked and asked: "Xiao Chu, the painting of Wu Daozi that fat man said is not your collection, is it?"

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then said: "although my painting of Wu Daozi does change when it enters the water, there are still many reasons to explain it, but the crab in the story is really a bit of a rip. How can it automatically heat up and walk on its own? If Lu Zigang can really make that kind of thing, I suspect that he is an alien. "

Liu Sizhe took over and said, "fat man, you're daydreaming. If you say you can heat wine automatically, I can believe it. But it's jade, and its joints can't move. Do you really believe the story that jade is psychic, so crabs can climb?"

Dong pangzi thinks about it and thinks that he is really stupid. Although Chu Chen's things are magical, they can always find some reasons more or less. But jade crab can move. Except for children, it is estimated that no one will believe such a ridiculous thing.

At this time, Zhang Yanbin still looked incredible and asked: "this Xiao Chu, do you really have Wu Daozi's painting, and if you put it in the water, it will still move? "

Dong said with a smile, "brother Zhang, can we cheat you on this? If you don't believe it, I'll know when you go to the capital? Let's take care of the jade crab brother Chu bought just now! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yanbin said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, when you come back from England, you must call me first."

When Chu Chen nodded with a smile, Liu Sizhe next to him was puzzled and said, "brother Chen, why does this jade crab look so serious? It directly covers up the details of the carving. According to reason, Lu Zigang is a character in the late Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, it should not be so serious?""Yes Zhang Yanbin also came up and said: "and I see the material of this jade crab, how does it look like it uses Huanglong jade? With Lu Zigang's character, it should not use this kind of jade?"

Chu Chen also understood Zhang Yanbin's meaning. It is said that Lu Zigang is not a good jade without carving. If this jade crab looks like Lu Zigang's work now, it really doesn't look like Lu Zigang's work. But if this crab behaves well, it's impossible for him to pick it up for more than 40 yuan.

Chuchen said with a smile: "you use a flashlight with strong light, and you will know what material this crab is."

When Liu Sizhe heard the speech, he quickly took out a flashlight and shone it on the crab's abdomen. Immediately, the jade became very transparent, with a warm and dignified yellow luster like steaming chestnut.

Seeing this, Liu Sizhe immediately exclaimed, "it's topaz!"

When Dong pangzi saw Liu Sizhe, he didn't understand. He said, "brother Liu, you don't have to be so surprised. Isn't it Topaz? Isn't it topaz, as brother Zhang said just now?"

"You are just ignorant. Can Huang Longyu compare with Huang Yu?" Liu Sizhe didn't say well.

Dong pangzi was a little surprised: "is there anything different? Last time I went shopping with Ningning, I saw a pendant marked with huanglongyu, but the boss said that huanglongyu is Huangyu. "

Liu Sizhe patted Dong fat man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "fat man, when did you have such a low IQ? Do you believe that unscrupulous businessman?"

Zhang Yanbin also said with a smile: "huanglongyu is a kind of relatively low-grade jade material, topaz should be the Huangqin material in Hetian jade."

Liu Sizhe shook his head and said, "brother Zhang, you are wrong. Although Topaz also belongs to Hetian jade, Huangqin material is Huangqin material, which is totally different from topaz."

Dong fat man smell speech appear a little confused: "you say so, I am confused, in the end what is called Topaz?"

"Let me teach you a lesson."

Liu Sizhe explained with a smile: "compared with Topaz, topaz is more complex, because people's understanding of it is not comprehensive, so the views are not unified, causing a lot of misunderstanding. The market is a mixture of good and bad. Unscrupulous businessmen often confuse right and wrong, cheat consumers and make them suffer economic losses. "

"Generally speaking, profiteers like to call three kinds of jade topaz, which are Huanglong jade, Huangqin jade and Huangkou jade. Let's not talk about huanglongyu. It has nothing to do with Hetian jade, and it has nothing to compare with... "

Dong said: "don't, brother Liu, just talk about it, or you'll have to be fooled by the unscrupulous businessman next time!"

Liu Sizhe said: "it's too much trouble to say that Huanglong jade is actually topaz, which is formed by the chalcedony of cryptocrystalline quartz in Topaz and part of agate. Its hardness is similar to that of jadeite. It belongs to jadeite, while Hetian jade is nephrite. They are not the same thing. If you want to study topaz, go back and look for a book. "

After listening to Liu Sizhe's explanation, Dong said in silence: "is Huanglong stone actually composed of quartz and agate? Isn't that a pitfall? "

Liu Sizhe chuckled: "how to say, different people have different opinions. Don't some businesses always advocate that people like different things?"

Dong pangzi said angrily: "the unscrupulous businessman is the unscrupulous businessman! I'll return it when I get back! "

"Xiao Liu, what's the difference between Huangqin material and Huangkou material and Topaz?" Zhang Yanbin asked.

Liu Sizhe said: "the Huangqin material is actually a kind of brown yellow material in the Tianzi material. In fact, the origin of Huangqin material is the same as that of Tangyu in the mountain material, which is caused by the infection of trivalent iron ions or the oxidation of divalent iron ions in tremolite near the surface to form trivalent iron ions. So the color of Huangqin material is gradually changing from the outside to the inside

"Huangkou material usually refers to Hetian Yushan material. It is bluish yellow in yellow and has soft luster. The best Huangkou material is thick and oily, which can be compared with Topaz. In a sense, Huangkou material is closest to topaz."

Liu Sizhe said: "finally, the color of topaz is original, that is to say, its yellow is formed when the jade is formed. So the surface color of topaz is consistent with the inner color of jade. It is a kind of special and dignified yellow, a kind of tender yellow with yellow green hue. There are many colors of topaz, the best of which is like this jade crab. Huang Mou steamed chestnut... "

In the end, he said with a smile: "we usually only need to make clear the difference between Huangqin and Huangkou materials. At most, it's huanglongyu. Because the output of topaz is very rare, even in ancient times, and its color is just in line with the emperor's thought, it's so precious."
