A treasure-appraisal maniac

"Xiao Fei, how about this golden step shake?"

Bai Mu picked up a gold butterfly inlaid with tourmaline and asked Lu Fei proudly. This golden butterfly was one of her favorite jewelry pieces. She played the role of the wealthy wife of a large family in one of the four famous novels. The crew The props didn't match, so Bai Mu took her golden walking stick over, and the whole crew was immediately amazed. Bai Mu was so proud.

She looked at Lu Fei happily, thinking that Lu Fei had the same eyesight as her, but Lu Fei not only shook his head, but also waved his hands, making Bai Mu suddenly feel embarrassed.

"Xiao Fei, doesn't this golden step look good?"

Lu Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with whether it looks good or not. Auntie, do you recognize the gems inlaid on the wings of Jin Bu Yao's butterfly?"

Bai Mu nodded: "Of course, this is tourmaline!"

Lu Fei gave Bai Mu a thumbs up: "Auntie, you have good eyesight. This is indeed a tourmaline. This golden step is an old item from the Qing Dynasty. At that time, tourmaline was quite popular, especially with Empress Dowager Cixi. I love you, but this thing is not suitable as a betrothal gift."

"Why?"

Everyone was curious and asked in unison.

Lu Fei explained: "Marriage and engagement are happy events, the most important happy events in a person's life. The word "xi" in the happy event is the same as the word "xi" in tourmaline, and the word "bi" in tourmaline is the same as the word "xi" in tourmaline. The word "avoid" in "avoid" has the same pronunciation, and the combination means avoiding happiness, avoiding happy events, which is unlucky, now you understand!"

"Oh~~~"

After Lu Fei's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that no one had thought about this before. Isn't it true? Avoiding happy events is equivalent to avoiding marriage. The purpose of visiting is to propose marriage, and using this object to avoid marriage to give gifts is indeed true. Ominous.

Bai Mu's reaction was even greater. After hearing Lu Fei's words, she threw her beloved Jin Bu Yao directly on the coffee table, for fear that other items in the suitcase would be contaminated with bad luck. Not to mention, Bai Mu still patted the Jin Bu Yao after throwing it away. His chest felt frightened: "Xiao Fei, thank you for reminding my aunt, otherwise she would have been in trouble. Thank you!"

Lu Fei smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, people who pay attention to these things may be unhappy, but people who don't pay attention to these things don't care at all. Besides, if you don't hit the smiling person, you give them a gift. Even if you don't like it, you don't care. What would he say to his face?"

Lu Fei finally smoothed things over. Bai Mu nodded and said nothing, but she was extremely nervous. Lu Fei also said that people who pay attention to these things are not happy, but the Kong family happens to be a big business.

Family, people must understand this. If you don’t understand it, it’s an unintentional mistake, but they may not think so. It’s not worth it if it causes misunderstanding.

Besides, Kong Jiaqi will be her daughter-in-law in the future, and she is not an evil mother-in-law. If this thing affects the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it would be even more unfair.

Bai Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, then picked up a gold enamel bracelet inlaid with rubies and handed it to Lu Fei: "Xiao Fei, how do you like this bracelet?"

This bracelet is so beautiful. Even outsiders can tell that this bracelet is extraordinary, high-end, grand, luxurious and beautiful. It is simply perfect. However, Lu Fei still shook his head: "This one is not the same." Well, this bracelet is of exquisite and luxurious workmanship. It is a fine product made by experts from the Manufacturing Office in the late Qing Dynasty. Both the craftsmanship and the raw materials are very valuable. I estimate that if I can get this thing, it will not cost less than a million."

Lu Fei said and looked at Bai Mu, who nodded, but couldn't figure it out in his heart. Lu Fei also said it was a good thing, but why he said it was not good. Isn't this inconsistent?

Lu Fei continued: "The bracelet is a good thing, I can't say, it's not that this bracelet is not of high quality, but there are other reasons.

As we all know, the regime of the late Qing Dynasty was in chaos. The empress dowagers of the two palaces listened behind the curtain and controlled the entire court. The two old ladies felt the pleasure of being able to dominate the world with one hand, which further fueled their ambitions. At the same time, they knew in their hearts that their status at that time was How did he get it? He worked hard, used all kinds of means to win over and bribe the outside world, and coerced and suppressed the emperor to have the power at that time.

At the same time, they also understand that they can do it, and other scheming women may not be able to do it when they have the opportunity. In order to consolidate their positions, the two queens worked together to clean up the harem, making excuses and resorting to unreasonable means. For a time, There are countless innocent souls in the harem, and there are too many concubines, nobles, maids, and nuns who died violently.

To clean up the hidden dangers in the harem, the two old ladies asked their confidant eunuchs to carry out the task. While persecuting the beauties in the harem, the execution eunuchs secretly secretly gave countless benefits, and then secretly took them out of the Forbidden City, and sold them in Liulichang by themselves or through others. In those years, Liulichang received thousands of pieces of jewelry belonging to the palace women. Most of the Qing palace jewelry in the hands of collectors and auctions today were from that period. The Forbidden City was heavily guarded. If there were no special events, how could it be possible? So many good things leaked out of the palace?

Your bracelet is a typical design style of the Xianfeng period, and it happens to be the node of that incident, if "

Before Lu Fei could finish speaking, Bai Mu's face turned pale and she broke into cold sweat from nervousness. She quickly interrupted Lu Fei. "Xiao Fei, how about this golden step shake?"
