The craziest collector of jade seals is Emperor Qianlong, who collected more than 1,800 seals in his lifetime.
So scary!
After all, Qianlong was a famous "seal control" in history, and he was also an out-and-out lover of calligraphy and painting. As the king of a country, it was very easy to collect these ancient paintings.
Therefore, many paintings and calligraphy have the imprint of Qianlong.
Just like the splash-ink picture hanging above the main table, there is the seal of Qianlong's Jade Seal on it.
Everyone guessed several names of the emperor, but all of them were wrong.
It wasn't until Wu Chengfeng solved the mystery that everyone knew that this was the jade seal of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.
However, after Zhou Jimin heard this, his heart started to growl.
According to "Wanli Yehuobian", the emperor of the Ming Dynasty originally had seventeen imperial seals. Some gold ones were lost in a fire in the ninth year of Zhengde. Seven more were engraved in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, for a total of twenty-four.
.
Most imperial seals are made of jade, and some are made of gold and ivory.
During the Qing Dynasty, there were also other jade seals made of sandalwood.
For example, Emperor Kangxi’s imperial treasure, the sandalwood exotic animal button square seal, etc.
The key point is that all the imperial seals of the Ming Dynasty have been lost and destroyed, and none of them survive.
According to records from later generations, among the jade seals of the Ming Dynasty, only one broken jade seal of the Southern Ming Dynasty was unearthed in Kunming.
In other words, the jade seal in front of you should be a fake or imitation.
However, judging from the reaction of the space, even if it is a fake, it is still a very valuable thing.
But, what kind of fake is so awesome?
Could it be that Fang Yuxi has another secret hidden behind her?
He couldn't see through it, so he didn't speak.
Several other people commented and praised Yuxi very highly. In one sentence, it was a priceless treasure.
Wu Chengfeng chuckled, and then took out several objects inside.
Without exception, they are all treasures among treasures.
An inkstone with twelve trigrams and stars, a picture of a tiger descending from a mountain, an ivory hand tablet, etc., a total of four antiques, all of which caused a strong response in the space.
Zhou Jimin's heart was shaken, and he was almost thinking of killing someone.
How can an antique that can make a space react so strongly be ordinary?
What puzzled him was why Wu Chengfeng had so many treasures and antiques?
You know, considering the many antique collectors he has come into contact with before, Zidane and the others are pretty good.
However, most of the antiques owned by Zidane and the others are average and better, that's all.
The best ones have been taken away by Zhou Jimin.
As for whether Zidane and the others are hiding something, that's not something he can know.
But precisely because of this, the antiques provided by Wu Chengfeng surprised him even more.
The quantity is large and the quality is good, so he can't help but be suspicious.
The ornaments that Wang Zhen originally sold to him were passed down from Wang Zhen’s father.
Wang Zhen’s father was a soldier, so I don’t know how Wang Zhen’s father kept these antiques and passed them on to Wang Zhen.
Despite this, Zhou Jimin was happy for a while.
According to the antiques provided by Wu Chengfeng, they are enough to beat the sum of the antiques provided by Wang Zhen and Zidane.
After all, space-devouring antiques only look at quality, not quantity.
Soon, all four antiques were appreciated and appreciated. Only Zhou Jimin and a few potbellied middle-aged men did not say a word.
At this time, Wu Chengfeng was somewhat embarrassed.
Because if Zhou Jimin and the others don’t talk to each other, how can he speak?
Besides, one of the most important rules in the antique world is that the seller never takes the initiative to negotiate the price.
Once the price is negotiated, it is easy to drop the price and throw away all the preparations and preparations made before.
Just when he was embarrassed, the white-haired old man next to him said to the fat man on the other side:
"Old Xu, don't you love collecting jade seals the most? Why are you silent today?"
The fat man chuckled and said modestly:
"There are new people here, so we have to give opportunities to the new people."
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this. After hearing this, Wu Chengfeng was even more happy and wished he could hug the fat man and kiss him twice.
The assist came just in time.
The so-called newcomer is naturally Zhou Jimin.
There were so many people in the room, but he was the only one who came here for the first time to attend a party.
What's more, these objects were put up by Wu Chengfeng, and Zhou Jimin was brought by Wu Chengfeng.
Therefore, according to the rules, Zhou Jimin chooses first.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Jimin suddenly woke up, "Me? I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now. What's next?"
"It's my first time participating and I don't understand the rules. I'm really sorry."
Everyone was speechless for a while, and Wu Chengfeng was even more embarrassed, not knowing whether he should answer the conversation or not.
Anyway, what Zhou Jimin said just now directly decoded Fatty’s assist.
By the way, Wu Chengfeng was unable to get up or down, hanging in the air, feeling uncomfortable.
"Haha, Master Hua is really humorous." The white-haired old man on the other side said with a smile, and then said:
"Master Wu has already placed the items on the table. Master Hua, don't you want to comment?"
"I won't do any tricks to avoid making people laugh."
Zhou Jimin shook his head and then said:
"I just like to collect, just to leave something for my descendants."
The first sentence is true, but the latter sentence is very false.
He himself is only twenty-two years old. Is it too early to consider leaving some family property to future generations at this time?
What's more, in his educational philosophy, instead of leaving endless assets to the children, it is better to cultivate their self-reliance skills.
After all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and virtue must be matched and wealth must be matched with virtue. Otherwise, no matter how much assets are left, it will not be enough to ruin the fortunes of future generations.
When everyone heard this, they stopped saying anything.
Several middle-aged men with big bellies started talking one after another.
As soon as they opened their mouths, their mouths tasted like money.
From their tone of voice, Zhou Jimin could tell that these people should be capitalists like Lou Jizhong.
Capitalists have no way to run their own industries, and they have huge wealth, so they have nothing to do on weekdays.
Therefore, I am very keen to participate in these antique gatherings.
And it has to be a fairly secretive gathering, otherwise, they wouldn’t be willing to participate.
Because the current trend is like this. Capitalists like them are all human beings, so how can they be so grand?
It is the last word not to expose your wealth and to keep your wealth low, but they are well versed in this.
Several people tasted it, and then asked Wu Chengfeng if he was willing to sell these four treasures?
The latter was very willing in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very embarrassed.
He is putting up a memorial arch and being a bitch at the same time. This is a real show.
When those capitalists saw it, they immediately understood that whether they were willing to sell or not was not the fundamental issue, but whether the price could make them excited.
But these capitalists lack everything except money.
As a result, several people made bids one after another, while Zhou Jimin watched the show from the side and said nothing at all.
There are so many good products when they come out. You can only imagine how many more good products there will be in the future.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry to take action.
When Wu Chengfeng heard the quotations from several people, his expression showed no emotion at all, but he felt a little anxious.
Damn, these guys, their bids are so low, how can they keep selling?
For a moment, he missed his first transaction with Zhou Jimin, who was so sincere and generous.
Obviously, he selectively forgot that Zhou Jimin’s original bid was also very low.
No one is a fool, and no one is willing to pay a high price.
Besides, in the mainland now, antiques cannot be sold at high prices.
To be precise, it's the same overseas, they can't be sold for much.
Moreover, these few of them have a tacit understanding with each other and only bid on one or two items that they like.
If they were packaged together and competition started, then Wu Chengfeng would make a lot of money.
Just when Wu Chengfeng opened his mouth to refuse, Zhou Jimin suddenly spoke.
"Um, Master Wu, can you package these four antiques and sell them to me together? There's no problem with bidding or making a hidden bid. I promise you won't suffer a loss."
Hiss!
Everyone in the room had different expressions.
The faces of the white-haired old men were as dark as water, and it was difficult to see clearly what they were thinking, but through their slightly widened eyes, one could still detect the surprise and hesitation in their hearts.
Who is this Zhou Jimin?
The capitalists had different reactions. Some snorted as if they were disdainful, some laughed as if they were laughing, and some glared at Zhou Jimin with anger.
But when Wu Chengfeng heard this, his heart blossomed with joy.
I quickly said that this is a treasure passed down from my ancestors and will be passed on to my children in the future.
Zhou Jimin was speechless. Damn it, this old guy stole the lines from labor and capital. Did he pay the copyright fee?
So, he said sincerely:
"Is that so? Thank you so much, Master Wu. You should put such a good treasure away quickly and keep it well."
Ga!
Wu Chengfeng's face suddenly stiffened.
Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?
Everyone else in the room couldn't help but laugh, but they were all acting types and couldn't hold it back.
At the same time, in order to silence Wu Chengfeng, Zhou Jimin took something out of his pocket and said:
"Please help me palm my eyes. What kind of stone is this?"
This is a strange-shaped silk blood agate gemstone. Inside the stone, you can see a dragon wandering around.
The gems were bought back in exchange for food due to space changes when I was in the Northeast.
After the space swallowed up the energy in the gem, the gem was casually thrown into the debris pile in the space by Zhou Jimin.
A few years have passed, and to my surprise, the gem that was just an ordinary gem suddenly had a dragon-shaped thing inside it.
He confirmed that the dragon inside the stone would not move.
It doesn’t have any energy, let alone when it entered.
It just so happens that there are so many so-called experts here today, so let's let them taste it.
Collectors since ancient times have dabbled in a wide range of things.
Strange stones are also the most familiar to collectors.
Just like the jade in the jade seal, it is actually just a kind of stone.
As soon as this stone came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Because it’s very strange.
The blood-red stone has an irregular oval shape, but there is a very obvious dragon inside the stone.
And, no matter which direction you look from, you can see the existence of this dragon.
So, although this stone is not big, it is really eye-catching.
Wu Chengfeng's eyes widened and he realized that no one was paying attention to him, and even his four antiques seemed to have dimmed a lot.
In fact, this is not necessarily the case. It is mainly caused by human beings’ curiosity for novelty.
After all, the blood-red gem that Zhou Jimin took out was very novel, and with a dragon inside, it was even more attractive.
You know, for mainlanders, creatures like dragons have been quite sacred since ancient times.
"Master Hua, is this a naturally formed gem?"
After everyone watched at close range, one of the white-haired old men asked tremblingly.
If it was formed naturally, then wouldn’t it be too precious?
Gemstones like silk blood agate are not cheap in themselves, not to mention they are so strange?
Zhou Jimin chuckled, "The stone is placed in front of you. What methods do you think can be used to create such a dragon in it? Besides natural formation, what else could be the reason?"
If he really had the means, he could just wholesale it.
As soon as he finished saying this, he received unanimous approval from everyone.
This is indeed the case. If it was formed the day after tomorrow, what kind of unnatural means would it be?
Moreover, if you really have this ability, you will definitely sell it in a big way. In this way, someone in the collecting community will definitely collect it.
Unfortunately, these people have never heard of it.
For a while, everyone did not continue talking, but kept looking at each other.
As your eyes move, you are probably thinking about how to get this gem, right?
Dragon-shaped carvings are very common.
However, there are very few naturally formed dragon-shaped objects.
This is the first time they have seen anything like the strange stone in front of them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Now is a new era, and we no longer pay attention to the old things, such as Feng Shui, Five Elements and Bagua, Ziweixing and so on.
But if you take a dragon's strange stone home and collect it, looking at it every day can make you feel happy.
Therefore, everyone looked at each other tacitly, and then one of them asked:
"Master Hua, do you want to sell this gem?"
Speaking of which, this is superfluous.
But I have to say it.
There is an unwritten rule in gatherings like this, that is, the antiques and treasures brought out are actually intended to be sold by the sellers themselves.
Otherwise, according to the collector's temperament, who would really bring a meow over to the courtyard just to hold a cup when he has nothing to do?
It’s not that there are no such people, it can only be said that there are very few.
Most people who want to drink a glass call their friends back to their homes and taste it together. This is the safest way.
After all, antiques and treasures can easily be lost or damaged when taken out of the house.
There are tacit rules, but you have to abide by them.
It’s just taking off your pants and farting, but it’s also a fig leaf for everyone.
Standing and acting, nothing more than this.
Hearing this, Zhou Jimin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, haven't you guys shown it yet? There's no need to wait any longer."
Everyone was stunned and then laughed.
Then, everyone began to display their own antiques and treasures.
This time, Zhou Jimin was really spoiled for choice.
Treasure!
They are all treasures!
In the past, it was extremely difficult for him to purchase one.
But now, there are more than thirty items placed in front of him.
He also had to pretend not to see it and just appreciate and analyze it as if nothing had happened. It was really hard to endure it.
Through the introduction of these people, Zhou Jimin also understood why these antiques are treasures.
Basically, they are objects that have been around for thousands of years, or have experienced ups and downs of turbulence before they can achieve this kind of precipitation.
Judging from the reaction of the space, Wu Chengfeng’s four antiques should be the first treasures in the house.
The second stall is the antiques brought out by a few white-haired old men.
The antiques brought out by the old men also include blood jade finger rings, jade pipes, etc., which are very strange.
But it is extremely precious.
There is no third gear because those capitalists didn’t bring anything with them at all.
They just come here to learn more, or to buy some antiques to fill their homes.
After tasting all the antiques, the next part is very interesting.
Everyone in the room, except Zhou Jimin himself, was attracted by the dragon-shaped silk gem in Zhou Jimin's hand.
Zhou Jimin, on the other hand, was interested in all the antiques in the house, but he wanted to sell the strange stone in his hand.
However, although he really wants to sell it, he has not expressed his opinion whether he wants to sell it or not.
It’s a rare thing to live in. He is also a person who knows this well.
After making a fuss for a while, everyone suddenly realized that relying on bidding seemed not cost-effective and would be too messy.
So, everyone discussed it and decided to bid using a hidden bid.
Just when everyone was preparing to make secret bids, someone suddenly came to the door.
The backyard was already very deserted and quiet, but the footsteps of someone coming over were quite loud.
"Boss, there is an armband team on the other side of the street. I heard that the Pigeon City area was surrounded and many people ran away, so the armband team is searching our area."
After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man said respectfully to the white-haired old man at the main table.
Buzz!
For a moment, everyone was a little shocked.
Damn it, why did this happen?
If the Armband Team were to come in and investigate, no one in the entire yard would be able to escape.
Normally, it would be no problem to live in a courtyard house with thirty or forty people.
As for this house, there are currently more than a dozen people in the backyard alone, not to mention the lively front yard and middle yard?
There are a hundred people in total.
Therefore, we cannot let the armband team investigate here.
"How far is it from us? Is it still too late to evacuate?"
"Boss, it's definitely too late. There are armband teams outside now. I heard Wang Mazi say just now that they are only two hundred meters away."
Damn it!
When the white-haired old man heard this, he couldn't help but snorted, then nodded slowly and said:
"Then open the underground passage and move everyone to the basement."
"Okay, boss, I'll make arrangements right away."
After the middle-aged man left, the white-haired old man quickly stood up, walked to the wall behind him, took away a few books on the bookshelf, and revealed an ornament inside.
I saw the old man twisting the ornament, and then the wall next to him suddenly separated.
A passageway for two people was revealed, with stairs extending downward.
"Please come in quickly, please. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
So, everyone had to take their own belongings and walk into the passage with small steps.
