Chapter 244 Emerald Emerald Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi
Hai Mingcheng quickly digested and accepted this in advance.

As someone who had witnessed Lin Feng's gambling, stone appraisal, and a series of miraculous things, in Hai Mingcheng's heart, Lin Feng was already synonymous with omnipotence.

It's just a jadeite pearl collected by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Even if Lin Feng found the legendary jade seal, he wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

However, other people did not have such a good attitude as Hai Mingcheng.

Mei Xinyan's hand holding the emerald chaozhu began to tremble suddenly, and he tried his best to contain his nervousness.

"Old... Boss, this is really... Empress Dowager Cixi's stuff!"

Receiving Lin Feng's affirmative look, Mei Xinyan suddenly felt that the thing in his hand weighed a thousand catties, and slowly returned the emerald beads in his hand to Ye Xiaotong's hand with difficulty.

Ye Xiaotong didn't have any different emotions because of Lin Feng's words, but felt that Lin Feng's luck and vision were unparalleled.

Whether it is the value of the high-ice emperor green jadeite itself, or the historical significance behind the word Cixi, ordinary people cannot see through it.

But Lin Feng just casually strolled around the roadside stalls, and exchanged this priceless treasure with very little money.

If this is the Emerald Emerald Bead of Cixi, the 500 million is really cheap.

However, Ye Xiaotong recalled what Lin Feng had just communicated with the stall owner, and suddenly something puzzled her mind.

"I knew that you would always bring me surprises, but, as you said, how could there be such a flawed emerald pearl in the collection of Empress Dowager Cixi? Moreover, how did it flow from the palace to Yunnan and Burma? Woolen cloth?"

Regarding this, Lin Feng was also puzzled at first.

However, the existence of everything is reasonable, and it didn't take long for him to think of the truth.

Gently rubbing Ye Xiaotong's hair, Lin Feng told her his guess.

"Normal people often fall into a misunderstanding, that is, they think that things from the imperial palace must be the best, but although Qing palace jadeite is extremely beautiful, its species, water, and color are not top-notch.

The quality of jadeite has not reached the top level, which may have a lot to do with the development and mining technology of that era. Without sufficient ability, it is naturally impossible to obtain jadeite with higher quality. Therefore, there is such a high-ice emperor in Cixi's collection. Green jade is already rare. "

From a cultural perspective alone, in the previous era when there were not enough tools and environmental conditions, and there were restrictions in all aspects, jade craftsmen still used the only tools in their hands, combined with their own wisdom and hard work, to carve with heart. So many beautiful jade pieces were made.

It can be said that each of these works embodies the ingenuity of the ancients, and the cultural value and historical significance contained in them are incomparable to modern handicrafts crafted with high technology and meticulous care.

Ye Xiaotong took a closer look at the Chaozhu in his hand, and suddenly felt that its beauty was of a very high level even now.

"The Empress Dowager Cixi once had a string of court beads made entirely of jadeite. According to historical records, this string of court beads passed through the hands of Emperor Guangxu and Concubine Zhen, and finally disappeared because of a disaster. Presumably, it was because of such a coincidence that the It makes us have the destiny to bring back this string of Chinese treasures here."

As Lin Feng said, a rush of blood surged in his heart.

Yes, as a member of Huaxia, being able to bring the lost national treasures back to the land where they were born and make up for that innocent and missing history made him feel that life has a more important meaning from now on.

At this time, Shen Yuhan and You Shaoxing also came over with a lot of spoils.

Seeing the strange expressions of the people in the circle, Shen Yuhan moved closer curiously. She seemed to have heard something about Chaozhu just now.

"Hey, what are you talking about, and what is Chaozhu?"

Lin Feng looked at Shen Yuhan's eyes full of pure thirst for knowledge, and the passion in his heart hadn't receded, so he didn't choose to perfunctory, but picked up the emerald pearl in Ye Xiaotong's hand, and introduced it to her.

"Chaozhu began to rise in the Qing Dynasty. It is a unique kind of pendant on the dress of the Qing Dynasty. It is hung on the neck and hangs on the chest. There are many materials for the court beads, such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, coral, beeswax, emerald, south Carnelian, Pearl.

Since the emperor of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, the court beads also evolved from the style of Buddhist beads.

There are a total of 108 court beads, and the craftsman who made them will insert a Buddha head between every 27. There are a total of 4 beads in the whole string, which has the symbolic meaning of the four festivals of the year; a plate of court beads is adorned with three strings of small beads on both sides , one string on one side and two strings on the other side, called "memory"; moreover, there is another string of beads hanging on the back of the court beads, which is called the back cloud, which means the beginning of one yuan; the lower end of the "back cloud" is decorated with a gourd-shaped "big pendant" , called "Buddha mouth". "

Lin Feng explained very carefully, and his hands moved on the string of imperial green jade beads at the same time, helping Shen Yuhan better understand the meaning of his words.

The exquisiteness and complexity of the court beads, and the ingenuity of the design and production instantly captured the hearts of everyone. Looking at this string of dark green and ancient emerald court beads, they couldn't help but start to imagine the wealth and glory of life in that era.

"So hard, just to make a pendant that hangs on the clothes. Sure enough, the life of the Empress Dowager Cixi is full of extravagance!"

Shen Yuhan couldn't help but sigh, and took the jade beads from Lin Feng's hand. His hands were cold and the feeling was beyond words.

However, Lin Feng shook his head at her words, and corrected him.

"Chaozhu is not just an ornament, it was an important symbol of identity and status in the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and from a certain perspective, it was also a manifestation of the feudal dynasty hierarchy.

It is not something that anyone can own and wear, but only the emperor, empress, empress dowager, concubines, officials of the fifth rank of civil servants, military officers of the fourth rank and above, and concubines of the fifth rank and above of the Qing Dynasty can wear it.

At the same time, the Qing Dynasty also made detailed regulations on the color, quantity, and material of the beads and silk ribbons worn by the royal court according to the relatives and nobles in the royal court. symbol.

If ordinary people do not accept the reward and use it presumptuously, they will incur the disaster of killing themselves instead. "

Shocked by the solemn and profound implication in Lin Feng's words, Shen Yuhan also put away the frivolous love and appreciation in his eyes. Behind this thing is the embodiment of the feudal system of an immortal dynasty.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, You Shaoxing turned his head to the side, saw the smile on Shen Yuhan's face dissipated, and subconsciously felt that his chest was depressed and irritable.

He hoped that Shen Yuhan would always be happy, so he took the initiative to break the stagnation in the air.
