Chapter 145 Jade Ornaments]

"That auntie said that someone had seen a folding screen made of jade in the cave. It was a big piece and very beautiful. At that time, they were afraid and did not dare to go up. When they went back and told others about it, they thought it was a good thing. Unfortunately, when they went back the next day, they could not find the thing, and the cave was gone. Don't you think it's strange

?" "Strange, the stories in their village are quite outrageous. It's quite interesting to listen to them when you have free time. What's next?"

Zhao Lijuan asked about the story with interest. It's best to listen to the story in the evening while enjoying the cool air. The atmosphere is excellent.

Qin Zhengyi also listened to Qin Yian's story seriously, waiting for her to continue curiously.

Qin Yian looked at the old man, then at the old lady, and said in a low voice to highlight the atmosphere:

"Everyone in the village said that he encountered a ghost wall, saw a ghost, and had hallucinations. How do you think there is a screen made of jade? How big a piece of jade must it be? Who was so rich in the past to use jade to make a screen?"

"The key is that the man said that what he saw was emerald green, and said it was glass jade. That's even more impossible. It's so rare, a thing that gathers the essence of heaven and earth. It's impossible to see a piece of glass jade as big as a screen, let alone luxuriously carved into a screen. The villagers said he was dazzled. It might be a green barrier formed by vines. He mistook it for glass jade because he was having a ghost wall."

"Afterwards, that man went crazy a few days after returning home. Then, people could always hear the crying of a baby in the place he mentioned, which made people believe that he had encountered something dirty. People followed suit, and that piece of forest became a taboo place in their team, and no one dared to go there."

"In my opinion, all the jade screens are fake. Maybe they just added color to the story. The glass jade screen is even faker, and it has a hollow craftsmanship. Ordinary jade can be believed a little more. If what he said is true, then he should learn how to distinguish the real from the fake. Grandpa, don't you think so?"

After Qin Yian finished the story, he threw the topic to the two people opposite him, mainly the old man who understood jade and was interested in it, waiting for him to take the bait.

Qin Zhengyi did not think much about it. He was immersed in the story and began to analyze without thinking:

"Either he imagined it, or there was a little fluorescence on the stone and he saw it wrong. He can't tell the difference between real jade and fake jade. Maybe it's just a broken stone. You said the screen is such a large piece of glass with hollow carvings. Who would be willing to waste it like that? And it is said that the cave suddenly disappeared after he went back again. That is 100% fake. If the cave really existed, it would not disappear."

Qin Yian leaned closer to the old man and asked curiously in a low voice:

"Grandpa, is the ornament where you put the wine before real jade? I think it's big and beautiful. It's not carved from stone, right? Marble? Granite? White rock? The carving technique is quite good."

Qin Zhengyi was not happy. How could he question that his treasure was marble?

He slapped his thigh and glared at her.

"What are you talking about? Marble, granite, mine is the real thing. I personally bought the raw stone in Yunnan Province when I was young, polished it, and found the best master to carve it into a decoration. No matter the quality or the craftsmanship, it is impeccable. It's just that I can't take it out now. I can only hide it and admire it occasionally."

"Really? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Qin Yian shook his head in disbelief.

Zhao Lijuan laughed out loud as she watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson: "Haha, I can testify that your grandfather's things are real, and he is indeed an expert in identifying jade."

"Really? My grandfather is so amazing. I took a few glances at it at that time, and it looked like stone. How can I tell that it is jade and not an ordinary stone? Grandpa, you are so amazing, teach me?"

Qin Yian humbly asked for advice, looking at the old man with sincere and admiring eyes.

The old man was extremely satisfied with the sense of superiority of the elder that he had never failed to get from Qin Yian. He raised his neck proudly, his vanity soared, and he was extremely excited. He stood up and waved to Qin Yian.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it and teach you how to identify it in person. After all, you are my granddaughter, Qin Zhengyi, so how can you not identify jade? Grandpa, I will teach you how to identify the authenticity of jade. I also happen to have some raw stones in my collection. By the way, I will also teach you how to see whether there is jade in the raw stones, so that you can gain some insights and expand your knowledge. At least you should know the basics, don't be fooled by people using stones, and don't embarrass me in the future."

"Okay, thank you grandpa, I am willing to learn."

Qin Yian agreed, nodded happily, stood up and followed.

It's done.

It was the old man who took the initiative to invite her in, not that she wanted to go, and she could learn some useful knowledge, so she had to go.

Zhao Lijuan also followed in after closing the door.

The entrance to the basement is very hidden, under the wall behind the old couple's bed frame.

Zhao Lijuan did not go down, but stayed in the house to guard the entrance. The grandfather and grandson went down, and went straight to the shelf where the jade was displayed.

Qin Yian could already feel the space carrier on her neck getting hotter and hotter. Feeling its emotions, it couldn't wait to start jumping excitedly on her neck.

Her neck was pulled and shaken here and there, and she almost twisted her neck.

Oh my God! Be quiet.

Qin Yian stretched out her hand to touch her neck and pressed it down hard to prevent it from shaking.

Qin Zhengyi saw that she kept her hand on her neck, and couldn't help but asked, "Why are you covering your neck, girl?"
