It was already after eight o'clock in the morning when Qin Siqi woke up. She touched her head, looked at her surroundings, and subconsciously looked at her clothes first. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his head.
"Sister Siqi, are you finally awake?" Qin Sirui opened the door and walked into the room, brought her a glass of fresh milk and said, "Drink a glass to relieve the hangover."
"I was drunk yesterday."
"Not only were you drunk, you were also talking nonsense until midnight. But Xiao Mo said you were lucky to be drunk, otherwise you would have been so excited that you couldn't sleep last night."
Only then did Qin Siqi think of the jade cabbage.
"Where's Li Moren?"
"Watching TV outside, I said that when you wake up, I will untie the jade cabbage in front of you. You go in and freshen up, and I will ask the room service to prepare some rice porridge and side dishes for you."
Li Mo was scrolling through the news on his mobile phone. News about the Baohua Mountain rescue was getting less and less. It seemed that the officials were deliberately downplaying the matter. As for whether there was another explosion accident later, which led to the annihilation of the second batch of treasure hunters who entered, there is no news at all.
After pondering for a while, Li Mo dialed a number. It rang for more than twenty seconds before he was connected. A familiar laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Teacher Li, didn't you say you were coming to Jinling a few days ago? Are you here now? I'm still waiting to drink your wedding wine."
"Director Fu, I just arrived last night. Why don't I contact you the first thing I do when I wake up this morning? It's so easy to drink my wedding wine. I'll treat you to a drink at noon."
"Yes, many people know the amount of your smelly wine basket. In this way, I will set a place at noon and you come over. I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."
"no problem."
"Then it's settled, see you at noon."
After Li Mo hung up the phone, Qin Sirui handed him a bottle of mineral water and said, "Have an appointment at noon?"
"Well, Director Fu of the Jinling Museum wants to treat us to dinner. After your sister's affairs are settled, we will go there together. He has been clamoring for a wedding banquet with us."
Li Mo blinked at her.
Qin Sirui reached out and gently twisted his waist and whispered, "I'll go pick out some more clothes."
"What you're wearing now looks good, there's no need to change."
"I'm going to pick out my clothes again."
Qin Siqi washed up and walked out, looking very good when she woke up.
"Thank you for last night."
"It's a small thing, just a little effort. Sit here and I'll untie that jade cabbage later."
The brown bear brought a large basin of ice water, a lighter and a sharp razor blade.
Li Mo took out the plastic cabbage from his bag. He roasted the roots with a lighter for a while, and then put it into ice water. This was repeated several times. Under the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, spider web-like cracks appeared in the solidified layer on the surface of the plastic cabbage.
Then he carefully scratched along the cracks with a razor blade. After working on it for about ten minutes, he gently lifted up a soft layer of something like dry glue from the surface.
Several people watched intently as a real emerald cabbage appeared in front of them. It is about 18 cm long, 9 cm wide and 5 cm thick. It is made from a piece of jadeite that is half white and half green. The green part is carved into a cabbage leaf and the white part is carved into a cabbage stem. The natural color distribution of the jade material is used to carve out a cabbage that is almost like a real one.
There are also locusts carved on the vegetable leaves, which are lifelike.
Such jade cabbage is also called jade cabbage, and there have been several similar works in history. There is one piece in the Kyoto Museum, and I have one in my hand. The third piece of jade cabbage is in front of me. The most important thing is that it is slightly larger than the previous two.
Li Mo cleaned the surface of the jade cabbage, and then observed it carefully. When he turned to the bottom of the cabbage root, there were two words "Heavenly King" carved on it.
Qin Sirui, who had already changed his clothes, asked softly: "Xiao Mo, what is the origin of this jade cabbage?"
"It has a great origin. Do you see these two words?"
Li Mo turned over the words on the bottom of the cabbage and showed it to several people and said: "Historical records say that there is a jade article called jade cabbage that Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, loved very much. The one we see now should be the favorite of Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. There are unofficial records saying that after Zeng Guofan conquered Jinling and destroyed the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, he took away many treasures, one of which was jade cabbage, which was also seen on people of the Zeng family."
"More than a hundred years have passed, and the truth of that time is no longer important. What is important is that the piece of jade cabbage recorded in history now belongs to Miss Qin."
Li Mo put the jade cabbage back into the box and found a lot of foam to protect it again.
"Sister Siqi, you have to collect this treasure. If it were just a piece of jade cabbage, it would probably cost more than 100 million at auction. Now that it is confirmed that it is the favorite of Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, the price will rise no matter what. After looking through it, this is the most conservative estimate. There is a piece of emerald cabbage in my treasure house, which was given as a dowry to Emperor Guangxu's concubine Jin, but it is regarded as a treasure."
Qin Siqi was stunned for a long time, and finally came to her senses after Sirui reminded her that all this was not a dream.
"I'll give you a suggestion." Li Mo thought of something and said, "You find someone to make a plastic cabbage like this, and then you don't need to go out to ask for money yourself. Just arrange for a few people to go there every once in a while." Ask that person surnamed Tian for a debt. Even if you can't get the money, you still have to make his life uneasy. If you suddenly give up collecting debts, he will think you are easy to bully, and he might come back to you in the future to cause trouble. "
"Xiao Mo is right, that kind of person must be shown some color."
When Qin Siqi thought about it, it was really like this. Anyway, he also knew that the collateral was plastic cabbage, so he would make an identical plastic cabbage and make him sick from time to time.
The Clay Bodhisattva still has three points of fire energy.
"Brown Bear, please send Miss Qin back. Sirui and I have an appointment to meet Director Fu of the Jinling Museum. I will contact you if anything happens."
"OK."
After taking care of Qin Siqi's matter, Li Mo drove Sirui towards the Jinling Museum.
"Auntie told me yesterday that you must go to my house for a meal."
"We are going to stay in Jinling for a while, so it's not good to always make excuses. It seems that we can't do it without eating that meal. Let's check the time in the afternoon and go there if we have enough time. I just have a few bottles of Sans in the back of my car. Forty years of old wine collection, I will buy some other gifts and visit him when the time comes."
"It's all up to you."
It was summer vacation and the peak period for museum tourism. Li Mo and the others arrived at the Jinling Museum parking lot. Director Fu had been waiting at the gate for a long time, sweating from the sun.
"Director Fu, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite."
Li Mo took out a bottle of wine from the trunk of the car and put it into the tea bag, then walked up and shook hands with Director Fu.
"Qin Sirui, my fiancée."
"I know her, she is a big star, and all the children in our family are fans of hers. I must take a group photo during lunch. It will make those children envious of me when I look back."
"Hello, Director Fu."
Qin Sirui wore a fashionable light-colored hat and sunglasses on his face, revealing skin that was as white and tender as snow.
However, it may be a professional habit. After a few polite words, Director Fu stopped looking at Qin Sirui's wrist and exclaimed: "Miss Qin, I would like to ask, what you are wearing on your wrist is the Erlong that was circulated in the Qing Palace. A bead bracelet?"
"Haha, Director Fu, you can't think of the bracelet. That was a gift from my mother to Sirui."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm used to it." The Talisman Master's face showed a trace of embarrassment, as a thought had really appeared in his mind just now.
"Director Fu, there are many treasures in my treasure house in Kyoto. You can go back to the president of the Millennium Shengzang Group to discuss cooperation."
"Oh, I was just waiting for your words. Come on, I've booked a private room in a nearby teahouse. Let's have a good chat."
Li Mo handed over the handbag in his hand and whispered: "There are 40 years of old wine and some tea. Director Fu will take it back to taste. There is a lot of tea, but there is too little old wine. It is not convenient for me to bring it in." museum."
Curator Fu immediately smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite to you, the fairy eye."
Director Fu put the gifts into the car, then pointed to the teahouse across the street and said: "It has been open for more than 20 years. It is an old brand and has many regular customers. If we are lucky today, we may encounter something interesting. Let's just Just walk over and you'll be there in a few minutes."
Li Mo reached out and took the bag from Sirui's hand and helped her carry it.
The three of them walked towards the teahouse across the street.
"Teacher Li, did you come to Jinling this time for the Hong Xiuquan treasure?"
"The main purpose is to accompany Sirui to visit Jinling. This is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. I also hope to pick up some more big leaks here. But don't worry, if I do encounter a big leak, I will store it directly with you for exhibition. It saves money. I also worked hard to bring it back to Kyoto."
"Hahaha, I like to hear you say that the most. This time when Shi Dakai's treasure came out, our reaction was a step too slow, and the Palace Museum took action first. Once the eleven-piece set for the throne was put on display, the reservations were full of tourists.
Eleven-piece suit for ascending to the throne?
Li Mo thought for a moment. The dragon chair, dragon pillar, dragon table, pen, paper and inkstone, plus two books with golden pages, made exactly eleven items. It's a shame they came up with such a name, but it's very straightforward.
"The Hong Xiuquan treasure caused such a big disaster. I didn't expect such a result." Li Mo sighed. He was testing Director Fu's tone. After all, a researcher from the Jinling Museum was also involved in the treasure hunt.
Director Fu didn't expect to know so much. He knew Li Mo's identity and thought he had known the inside story through other channels. He sighed with a heavy expression and said, "Dozens of lives were lost like this. They are all lessons learned in blood."
Damn it, he really did trick him out of some of the truth behind the matter.
When crossing the road, Li Mo naturally took Qin Sirui's hand.
After crossing the road, he said solemnly: "The key is to pay such a high price, but there is nothing in Hong Xiuquan's treasure cave. It's not worth it, it's not worth it."
