Chapter 1362 White hair, red silk!
"How many... several hundred million??!" Feng Qing'er was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off.
Everyone around was stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
Even Xiong Xin, Aunt Cao and the others felt weird at this moment.
Several hundred million? What does it mean?
Isn't that Tang Sancai Guanyin statue worth only one to twenty million? Why did it suddenly become several hundred million?
Is this...a joke?!
Only Du Hongsheng's face had a solemn expression, and he obviously didn't think Chen Dong's words were a joke on him.
And this is indeed the case.
Just now, Du Hongsheng only had doubts in his heart.
And now, he was finally able to be completely sure that the young man in front of him had discovered the mystery behind the Tang Sancai Guanyin statue just like him!
At this time, Feng Qing'er could no longer suppress the surprise in her heart and quickly asked: "Husband, what do you mean by this?"
"Didn't you say before that this Guanyin statue is only worth one or two million? Why did it suddenly become several hundred million?!"
"Is it possible that you just lied to us?"
Chen Dong chuckled and said lightly: "That's not true. What I said before is true. This Guanyin statue itself is indeed only worth 10 million."
"But the things hidden inside this Guanyin statue are not just as simple as one or two million!"
"What's hidden inside the Guanyin statue?!" Feng Qing'er looked confused and had no idea what Chen Dong was talking about.
At this time, Chen Dong had already raised his hand, and something appeared in his hand.
It turned out to be a huge red stone.
ruby!!!
Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Weren't they discussing just now the Guanyin statue? Where did this ruby come from?
What does it have to do with this Guanyin statue?!
Chen Dong naturally saw the doubts on Feng Qing'er's and everyone else's faces. He didn't show off and said directly: "Buddha has thirty-two features, one of which is located between the eyebrows. The white hair is soft and pure, turning right and spreading out.
Brightness is called white hair!"
"During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was at its peak. From the private sector to the court, most people worshiped the Buddha and erected statues of the Buddha. This was the most popular practice."
"At that time, the most widely used method was to embed white jade, crystal, gemstones and other objects between the eyebrows to highlight the appearance of white hair."
"This ruby was taken out from the brow of the Guanyin statue just now!"
Hearing this, Feng Qing'er immediately shook her head and retorted: "That's not right. I could see it clearly just now. The red dot between the eyebrows of the Guanyin statue is the white hair you mentioned. It only has the little finger.
It's just the size of a fingernail, not as big as the one on your hand?"
Ma Jiufeng on the side also nodded quickly, obviously deeply convinced.
He had seen it clearly just now. Although the Guanyin statue was inlaid with red stones between its eyebrows, it was far from that big. Otherwise, even if he didn't know much about antiques, he would definitely know that such a big gem was worth a lot of money when it was placed in front of him.
of!
Facing Feng Qing'er's doubts, Chen Dong nodded and explained: "You are right. From the surface, the Guanyin statue is indeed ordinary. The white hair between the eyebrows is just a little."
"But in fact, what you see is just the appearance."
"Actually, most of the rubies are hidden inside the Guanyin statue!"
"So, this Tang Sancai Guanyin statue is just a disguise."
"The real value is actually this ruby!!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene was in an uproar.
They never dreamed that such an ordinary-looking Guanyin statue would actually hide such a huge secret!
Feng Qing'er was also stunned and stunned.
She had been thinking about picking up leaks, but it turned out that such a big leak was right under her nose, and she didn't even notice it.
It seems that she can completely give up the extravagant hope of picking up leaks in the future, because she is simply blind!
Ma Jiufeng on the side was also shocked and speechless.
He remembered clearly that just now, his brother Dong only glanced at the Guanyin statue.
With just one glance, you can tell that there is a huge ruby hidden inside the Guanyin statue. Such eyesight is simply terrifying!
At the same time, Ma Jiufeng finally understood why his brother Dong was willing to pay 20 million to Xiong Xin just now, and even thought that the 20 million compensation was a bit small.
It turns out that at that time, my brother Dong already knew that the value of this ruby was far more than just one to twenty million!
This time, the truth is finally revealed!
However, Ma Jiufeng had a huge doubt in his heart. He immediately asked: "Brother Dong, what did the person who made this Guanyin statue want?"
Feng Qing'er also nodded repeatedly, with question marks written all over her beautiful face: "Yes, husband, what are they planning? According to common sense, such a big gem should not be completely exposed to make it look more beautiful and majestic.
Is that right?"
"But they hid such a big gem inside this Guanyin statue. Doesn't this mean that the pearl is cast in secret and walks at night in brocade clothes?"
"Normally people can't see it at all!"
Chen Dong snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "You are right about this. It is possible that the person who made this Guanyin statue did it just so that people would not see that there is such a big heart hidden inside.
Where’s the ruby?”
"Ah?" Feng Qing'er was stunned and didn't understand for a moment.
Chen Dong continued: "It is rumored that during the Taizong period, some countries paid tribute to a rare ruby."
"It is said that this ruby is shaped like a goose egg, colored like rouge, as cold as ice, and more transparent than amber. Taizong liked it very much, and gave it the name, Red Silk!"
"But later, the red silk gem suddenly disappeared. Taizong ordered people to search the entire palace, but still no trace was found."
Feng Qing'er reacted immediately and exclaimed, "Husband, do you mean that this ruby is the red silk gem belonging to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?!"
Chen Dong did not comment and just said calmly: "The workmanship of this three-color Tang Dynasty Guanyin statue is like a palace object. Only the royal craftsmen in the palace can achieve this kind of craftsmanship."
"And that red silk gemstone was also lost from the palace back then."
"It is not easy to take something so important out of the palace without being hunted by so many palace guards."
