"You ordinary businessmen, when you appraise an antique, you look at its appearance and age, but I look at its history!" the old man said lightly.

I was shocked by what the old man said, and thought to myself that I still underestimated this old blind man.

Although this old blind man is dressed like an African refugee, I wish I could reward him with two steel coins.

But he is definitely a hidden master!

Because it is just a simple sentence to point out the most valuable aspects of antiques. This is absolutely impossible without decades of experience.

It's a pity that the fat man is still not convinced, and still curses: "You old bastard, the fat man's jade pendant came from the palace of the Qing Dynasty, why does it have no history?"

"Hmph, for example, can the price of the same piece of clothing worn by the Empress Dowager Cixi be the same as that worn by ordinary people?" The old man sneered with deep contempt.

"Take this Nine Dragons jade ring for example! Although it is very beautiful, the carving is still too simple. It is obviously a thing specially given to eunuchs in the palace. Little fat man, you said that this jade pendant has been passed down in your family for eight lifetimes. Your ancestors should

Couldn't he be a eunuch?"

Gosh, this old man is really venomous. He even said that the fat man was a descendant of eunuchs.

I tried not to laugh out loud, but the fat man's fat face was already turning red and purple with anger.

He gritted his teeth and cursed at the old man: "Damn it, you are the eunuch, and your whole family is also an eunuch!"

"No one in the world has ever dared to talk to me like this. Blind man, I am old and don't want to see blood. Otherwise, if it had been ten years earlier, you little fat man would not have survived until twelve o'clock tonight." The old man said with a straight face: "

Do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"Well, take a closer look. Is there a dragon engraved on this jade pendant, but it only has three claws?"

Hearing what the old man said, I quickly grabbed the jade pendant from the fat man's hand and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, a three-clawed dragon was carved on this jade pendant.

It’s really strange. Dragons in ancient China have always had four claws. Isn’t a dragon with three claws deformed?

What does this mean?

I quickly asked the old man: "Old man, does this three-clawed dragon have anything to say?"

Seeing that we all looked like curious babies, the old man showed a contemptuous smile again: "If I guess correctly, this should be something given to Li Lianying by Emperor Guangxu."

When Li Lianying was mentioned, all of our eyes lit up. After all, Li Lianying was so famous and could be said to be a well-known eunuch.

You don’t have to know history, but you must have heard of the three great eunuchs in ancient times! They are Zheng He who went to the West, Wei Zhongxian who was in power, and Li Lianying, the darling of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The most famous among them is Li Lianying. Li Lianying was originally a rogue. In order to make a living, he simply castrated himself with a knife and became a eunuch in the palace.

After entering the palace, Li Lianying relied on her sharp tongue to turn the Empress Dowager Cixi into a flower. She even did not hesitate to become the old witch's male favorite, calling her Lafayette every day. In the end, she became the most powerful person in the world.

The chief eunuch who ranks among thousands of people, even the prince has to walk around when he sees him.

But what puzzles me is how did the old man know that this jade pendant is related to Li Lianying?

Just when I was about to ask, the old man continued: "As we all know, this Li Lianying was a great eunuch. At that time, the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured the Forbidden City, burned down the Old Summer Palace, and frightened the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu and fled all the way to Chengde.

Summer Resort. In order to make the Eight-Nation Allied Forces retreat, Emperor Guangxu signed the "Xinchou Treaty". Not only did he have to cede land and pay money, but he also sent troops to help the Eight-Nation Allied Forces exterminate the troublesome Boxer elements. At that time, the Boxers were grouped in batches.

He was caught and beheaded by the Qing soldiers. The scene was so horrific that blood flowed into rivers. Tens of thousands of people lost their heads overnight..."

"These Boxers originally wanted to help the Qing Dynasty fight against foreign invaders, but now they were killed by their own people. How could the resentment in their hearts be calmed? So from then on, every night when Emperor Guangxu went to bed, he would hear shrill cries coming from outside the house.

And accompanied by shouts of 'Give me my head back', 'Give me my head back', even the lights in the room will go out on time after twelve o'clock!"

"In this way, Emperor Guangxu couldn't sleep well after being tortured for several days. He looked haggard and his servants did not dare to approach Emperor Guangxu's room. But at this time, Li Lianying stood up and volunteered to guard the door for Emperor Guangxu every day.

He stood guarding Emperor Guangxu at the door at night, and whenever he saw those headless ghosts, he would curse loudly. As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people, and slowly these ghosts will disperse."

"Emperor Guangxu was overjoyed and repeatedly praised Li Lianying as a loyal slave. He also wanted to take off the jade pendant from his waist and give it to Li Lianying, but he was persuaded by the ministers. The ministers said that the emperor's jade pendant was carved with a five-clawed golden dragon.

That is the symbol of the Nine-Five Master. Wouldn't you be harming him by giving it to a eunuch? If a eunuch wears a five-clawed golden dragon, it is rebellion! Emperor Guangxu thought about it right, so he asked the craftsmen to carve out a three-clawed one.

Xiaolong’s jade pendant was awarded to Li Lianying. This is the origin of the Nine Dragons Jade Ring..."

"That's not bad!" Before the old man finished speaking, the fat man shouted loudly: "Although this jade pendant is not worn by the emperor, it is something given to Li Lianying by the emperor. Okay, okay."

I was so frightened by the fat man's voice that I almost choked on the instant noodles. I immediately rolled my eyes at the fat man and said, "Damn it, fat man, can you please stop being so surprised?"

"Can you not be surprised? Think about it! Since this jade pendant is a witness to a period of history, it is the only one in China. It must be worth money. The fat man has a premonition that he will give it away, he will give it away..."

"Little fat man, I haven't finished speaking yet." The old man sneered sinisterly. He didn't even look at the fat man. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Although Emperor Guangxu gave Li Lianying a piece of cake to avoid suspicion.

The jade pendant of a three-clawed dragon, but a eunuch cannot wear a dragon after all! So from then on, Li Lianying began to be unlucky. First, she did not like the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then she was reported for corruption and bribery, and all the property she had plundered throughout her life was lost.

He was confiscated, and when he was old, he developed a big diarrhea in his throat. In the end, there was no cure and he died. So although this jade pendant is valuable, if you know the details of it, you won't give it away for free, because this thing

It’s an unlucky thing that will ruin your wealth and cause disaster!”

The fat man, Wang Yuanchao and I were stunned for a moment. We didn't expect that the jade pendant in the fat man's hand was so sophisticated and was also an ominous thing.

The fat man slapped his thigh with regret: "Damn it, it turns out this thing is designed to ruin money. No wonder the fat man has been losing money in business in the past few years, and his stall has been kicked out. Even if he fights for the next time, he can't find a good thing!"

And my damn old man, who insisted on being the most loyal soldier of the party and the country when he was trying to destroy the four olds, smashed all the valuable antiques in the house, leaving only this piece of broken jade pendant for me...

"

I wanted to comfort the fat man a few words, but I saw the fat man suddenly took out a small thing from his pocket, and then quietly placed it in front of the old man and said: "Old man, I have another treasure here, please help me."

Take a look?"

The old blind man was originally wearing a pair of sunglasses, sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating with disdain on his face.

But when he saw what the fat man put on the table, the expression on his face changed instantly, and even the hand holding the cane was trembling.

Even the long-legged lady next to him glanced at the fat man unexpectedly!

Suddenly being so valued by two people, the fat man immediately felt proud and felt that he was more honorable.

I was also wondering, what on earth did the fat man bring out that shocked the old blind man who ignored everything so much? But when I saw something like that, my heart suddenly sank.

It's Xia Shu. The fat man actually got a piece of Xia Shu engraved on the giant door with a sheep's head!

I cursed in my heart, this damn fat guy, after all, managed to sneak something out. He must have touched a fragment that the fourth girl had picked out while we were not paying attention, and stuffed it into his pocket.
