Chapter 18 Hetian suet white jade

"Young prince, are you going out?" Butler Li looked at Li Yunfei's outfit and the fact that he didn't want to take any guards with him. How can this be done? Who will be responsible if something happens to Li Yunfei? I'm afraid no one in the entire palace can escape.

It's related. So Butler Li is firmly opposed to this point. Unfortunately, the master is the master after all. Li Yunfei has decided to go out this time, and Butler Li has no choice but to do it!

"I said Butler Li, I am such a big man, do you think I am a person with no independent opinions? By the way, it seems that money is needed to buy things on the street. Do you have some money to give me?" Li Yunfei patted him.

Forehead, how could you forget such an important thing? There is no charge for food and drink these days. Li Yunfei almost thought that everything was free!

"Well...this money is all managed by Miss Xiaolian, you see..." Butler Li originally wanted to find an excuse to keep Li Yunfei, but after seeing Li Yan's stern eyes,

, and suddenly knew that his excuse was useless, "This is my salary for this month, young prince, please take it and use it!" Steward Li took out a money bag from his arms tremblingly, and then handed it to Li Yunfei,

Seeing Li Yunfei's satisfied look, Butler Li wiped his sweat secretly. He never thought that Li Yunfei, who had always been very talkative, could be so terrifying when angry.

"Okay, Butler Li, don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I will return the money to you. As for the business you mentioned, feel free to do it! It's just about money, so don't bother Xiaolian these two days.

Okay, just do the other things first!" Li Yunfei also knew the meaning of giving a sweet date a slap in the face, so his anger just now was just a pretense to let Butler Li know who the real master was.

Looking at Li Yunfei's handsome back, Li Butler grinned and nodded secretly. Prince Qin was becoming more and more like a prince, which was exactly in line with His Majesty's requirements. Li Yunfei would never have dreamed that Butler Li would be his father-in-law.

Every move he makes by the informants around him will be reported to his father by Butler Li. However, even if he knows, there is nothing he can do about it. At least this is much more comfortable than being in the palace, right?

"Come here! Tell Commander Li to follow the young prince quietly with a few people. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise come and see him!" Steward Li waved his sleeves and left without looking back.

Okay, the majesty exuded by Butler Li at this moment is even worse than that of Li Yunfei.

"Yes, steward! I'm going to find Commander Li right now!" The guard hurried to find Commander Li, so fast!

Of course, Li Yunfei didn't know that he had been targeted. He was just happy to leave the deep palace compound and looked at the blue sky. The residential area of ​​Chang'an City was separated from the urban area. Li Yunfei's residence was close to the palace. This

All the palaces in this area are the residences of princes and ministers. Li Yunfei looked at the deserted streets and suddenly felt emotional. These are places where poor people and businessmen dare not come. No one dares to make trouble here, because he might offend someone.

How can people tolerate princes, marquises, etc.?

Li Yunfei walked slowly on Zhuque Street. The spring breeze on his face made him feel indescribably refreshing. Looking at the people coming and going, Li Yan knew that he was getting closer to the downtown area. He had never strolled so leisurely in his previous life.

Crossing the street! It’s not that I don’t want to go shopping, it’s that I really can’t afford to buy things. It’s the most depressing thing to see something you like but can’t afford it!

This time it was different, Li Yunfei was holding the money given by Butler Li in his arms! Li Yunfei took a look and saw that there were copper coins, silver ingots and gold leaves. Li Yunfei had to sigh that these things would be priceless antiques in future generations.

Ah! But Li Yunfei didn't know the market price at this time, and he didn't know exactly how much he could buy.

"Old man, don't you know where this jewelry selling place is!?" Li Yunfei came out mainly to prepare some gifts for Xiaolian. After all, Xiaolian is still his woman, so why not give him something?

It doesn't make sense. Li Yunfei had actually noticed long ago that none of these women had earrings or earrings. What Li Yunfei didn't know was that there was no custom of piercing ears in the Tang Dynasty. Generally, only ethnic minorities had earrings, but that was fine.

It's not a beautiful decoration, it's just a symbol.

It is not that there are beautiful jewelry in Li Yunfei's house, but Li Yunfei thinks that these are not enough. He wants to prepare a piece of unique jewelry that will surprise Xiaolian. So he is going to find a jewelry store to order several earrings and earrings.

Give it to Xiaolian, Li Yunfei can think of her excited look when he gave the gift to Xiaolian.

Li Yunfei walked in the direction designated by the old man. Along the way, Li Yunfei attracted the attention of women. He was dressed like a scholar, with a suave appearance, and a folding fan that made Li Yunfei more elegant.

How many pretentious scholars are envious and jealous, especially because Li Yunfei has taken away the admiring eyes of the girls that should belong to him. How can they not cast jealous eyes on Li Yunfei?

Li Yunfei was looked at inexplicably by this group of people, and the look in the eyes of those women could be understood. After all, it was difficult to find a man as good as himself. Not only did he say that he was more handsome than Pan An, but at least not much worse than that Song Yu, these purdahs

It was completely understandable for the girl among them to see such a look, but the look in the eyes of these poor scholars made it difficult for him to understand, but just look at it, he would not lose a piece of meat.

"This young master! I wonder what your orders are here!?" The owner of the jewelry store, his eyes suddenly lit up when Li Yunfei came in. As a businessman, you must have a good eye. Li Yunfei is full of expensive things.

The boss was so angry that he didn't dare to look down upon it. The boss's eyes inadvertently glanced at the jade ornaments worn on Li Yan's waist, and he was immediately shocked. This was no ordinary jade. As the owner of a jewelry store, he still had such discernment.

What Li Yunfei is wearing is undoubtedly the finest mutton-fat white jade. Mutton-fat white jade is also known as "white jade" and "mutton-fat jade". It is the top grade of soft jade and is extremely precious. Mutton-fat white jade is a kind of hornblende, the best white jade.

As the name suggests, mutton-fat white jade should first of all be white. It is like white mutton fat (commonly known as mutton fat). If it has other colors, it is not mutton-fat white jade. Some people call it "sheep fat jade" when it is white and slightly pink.

There is no consensus among jade experts and scholars on this point. Some call it "pink jade". Suet-fat white jade mainly contains tremolite (95%), actinolite and epidote. It is very white and has a fine texture.

, lustrous and moist, like gelatin. According to ancient legend, "white jade without flaws" refers to white jade.

Mutton-fat jade is the best of Hetian jade. According to archaeological discoveries, as early as 3,500 years ago during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the jade produced in Kunlun Mountains had been introduced to the Central Plains. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, Hotan jade gradually became used by emperors and princes of the past dynasties.

Most of the main jade materials are collected sub-materials. In the Yuan Dynasty, mountain materials began to be used, and after the Qing Dynasty, the output of mountain materials has greatly exceeded sub-materials. People have attached great importance to mutton-fat white jade since ancient times, and it is the best jade.

It is very precious. It not only symbolizes the gentleman's virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity", but also symbolizes the secular emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility". In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to admire it.

High-quality white jade. Archaeological facts have confirmed that the jade seals used by many ancient emperors were made of special white jade. Among the treasures in many museums in various places, the cultural relics of the past dynasties carved from white jade are regarded as "national treasures", such as the unearthed

The "Queen's Seal" of the Western Han Dynasty was carved from crystal flawless mutton-fat white jade.

This shows how valuable Hotan mutton-fat jade was in ancient times. It was also a symbol of status. When the store owner saw this jade, he immediately became more respectful. This made Li Yunfei a little confused. What on earth is going on?

What happened? He never thought that an inconspicuous accessory on his body betrayed his identity!
