Shen Qiu smiled and shook his head.

"Master Mei, your two Pixiu jade carvings are not ordinary products,"

Shen Qiu picked up one of the Pixiu jade pieces from the table: "Although the quality of these two Pixiu jade pieces is average, they are just ordinary mountain and river jade."

What are mountains and rivers?

In the classification of modern society, Hetian jade can be classified according to s, a, b, c, and several levels. S is naturally the best level among them, crystal clear, old ice jadeite, and abc below. , which will be doped with some impurities.

The more components of impurities, the lower the grade will be evaluated.

The evaluation level of sabc is used for rating in the circle of jewelry sales, while in the circle of antique appreciation, Hetian jade will be divided into ice water flow and mountain water flow.

The ice water flow corresponds to the S-level assessment, and the mountain water flow includes the three levels of ABC assessment.

"Master Mei, if my guess is correct, this set of Pixiu ornaments should be the work of Lin Ruyi, a famous sculptor in the Republic of China, right?"

"Lin Ruyi is one of the few female craftsmen who made and carved pixiu in Chinese history. Lin Jiaye, the founder of the Lin family, is famous for carving and polishing pixiu. In the hands of Lin Ruyi, the carving of pixiu from Lin family has been carried forward to a great extent. peak!"

"Maybe because Lin Ruyi is a woman, the Pixiu she polished is different from most of the Pixiu on the market. Most of the Pixiu that you usually see will show ferocious twisted, ferocious eyes, and various mighty and domineering shapes. Exaggerated Pixiu!"

"Lin Ruyi's Pixiu is just the opposite. The Pixiu she created is docile and well-behaved, with piercing eyes. Not only does it not have the exaggerated and twisted shape of ordinary Pixiu, but it makes people feel that her Pixiu is very spiritual. Among the many Pixiu that can't get in, it is indeed a different kind of existence!"

"It is also because of Lin Ruyi's special design that the Pixiu she created became a hot commodity at that time. During the Republic of China, her works were very popular!"

In Shen Qiu's mind, the memory of Wang Qianshi vaguely remembered that as long as it was Lin Ruyi's Pixiu, the starting price was 1 yuan Yuan Datou, and now the price is almost 50 to [-] yuan. a luxury item.

"Master Mei, even in the current antique market, Master Lin Ruyi's Pixiu is still very popular. When it comes to Pixiu, Lin Ruyi is a mountain that cannot be avoided. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the master of Pixiu. !"

"Master Mei, your pair of Pixiu, although the quality of the jade is average, it perfectly integrates the texture of mountains and rivers and Tianyu into it, making these two Pixiu vivid and full of aura! According to the current market price of Lin Ruyi's Pixiu Look, the price of your pair of Pixiu will not be less than 180 million!"

Shen Qiu pushed the two Pixiu back to Master Mei again, "Shen Qiu is rewarded for nothing, and cannot accept such an expensive gift, Master Mei, please take it back..."

"It's no wonder that he is the rookie king in Yanjing's antique circle this year, and he has such a detailed understanding of Lin Ruyi, which I admire very much, but the matter I asked Master Shen Qiu to help is no small matter, so Master Shen Qiu must accept this Get Lin Ruyi's Ximen Paixiu, otherwise I will feel really sorry!"

"Master Mei, you don't have to be so polite. It is fate that you and I met each other. What's more, you were introduced by Mr. Wang, so don't be polite. Master Mei Bufan will talk about your affairs first. If Shen Qiu can help, he will definitely help. If Master Mei's matter is too complicated, even with the blessing of Lin Ruyi's Ximen Paixiu, Shen Qiu is helpless!"

Only then did Master Mei let go of his inner concerns: "Master Shen Qiu, because of my own special status, the events I experienced in those years were all extraordinary, and related to some important figures in Yanjing City today, so please ask Master Shen Qiu to Keep it a secret for me! Don’t mention it to anyone unless you have to!”

"Master Mei, don't worry, Shen Qiu will definitely not talk about it with anyone!"

"That's good. As long as I return to Yanjing City this time for a few things, these things are very important to me, even more important than my life, Mei Junhong! Next, I will Tell Master Shen Qiu about these things one by one."

"This is the first celebration of Chen's family tomorrow night. 20 years ago, Chen Jiangnan was kind to me and saved me from fire and water. He sacrificed his life to save my father Mei Zhengming, and also personally sent our father and daughter to a safe place. , The Chen family sent me an invitation card this time, so I will come back this time to congratulate Boss Chen..."

"Master Mei, it's a coincidence that I also received an invitation from the Chen family..."

Mei Junhong nodded and continued: "The second thing I want to talk about is also closely related to the first thing. It goes back to 20 years ago, when my father Mei Zhengming officially marched into Yanjing with a few cultural relics and antiques. The antique market is trying to establish its own world in Yanjing City."

"That year my father was 46 years old. Before he entered Yanjing City, he was engaged in the antique business in Jiaodong. He also accumulated a certain amount of fame and wealth. That year he raised a priceless treasure and tried to open the Yanjing antique market with the brilliance of the treasure! This is a treasure that can shock the whole country, a jade seal passed down to the country!"

"The Chuanguo Jade Seal? The Chuanguo Jade Seal brought from Jiaodong to Yanjing City?"

Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment. Anyone who knows about antiques knows that there are two most legendary and mysterious priceless treasures in China in the past 5000 years.

One is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo made by Qin Shihuang with He's Bi, and Prime Minister Li Si personally took up the pen and wrote that if you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever!

The other is Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface copybook.

You must know that no matter which one of these two peerless treasures shows up, it will cause a sensation all over the world, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it the ninth wonder.

"Master Mei! The Jade Seal of the Kingdom you are talking about, is it the Jade Seal of the Nation that was forged by Qin Shihuang with He's Bi, and the Jade Seal of the Nation that has mysteriously disappeared now? Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure..." Master Mei shook his head slightly and said, "Father attaches great importance to that imperial jade seal, and never reveals the jade seal easily. My father always called it the "Jade Seal of the Chuanguo", and it was precisely because of this Jade Seal of the Chuanguo that our Mei family was ruined!"

"My father, took the Jade Seal that was passed down to the country to find Liu Dongyang, the president of the Antique Association in Yanjing City! Ask him to call relevant masters and experts for appraisal. That morning, I saw my father holding a box very nervously. , carefully went to Liu Dongyang's house, but in the end, it never occurred to me that the ending was beyond all of our expectations!"

"My father was in a trance when he came back. He cried and told me that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was fake? It turned out to be a fake! You must know that it was the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom bought by him with a foreign loan, and the appraisal was fake! That is a fact that he cannot accept no matter what!"

"Is the Chuan Guo Yuxi fake?"

Shen Qiu tried to bring into this memory 20 years ago. It is well known that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom was passed down from Qin Shihuang to the late Tang Dynasty, and it has only been handed down in the world for more than 1000 years. It has been passed down from Qin Shihuang to 23 dynasties. In the end, after the last emperor of Tang Dynasty, he never heard of the trace of Chuanguo Yuxi, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Legend has it that Li Congke, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Cao died in the Xuanwu Tower, and the Chuanguo Yuxi was reduced to ashes, and burned with the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty.

For thousands of years, there have been different opinions about the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Jade Seal. In history, many people claimed to have found the authentic Chuanguo Jade Seal, but in the end they could not come up with actual evidence, so they had to let it go, or most of it They are all imitations.

So is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that Mei Zhengming was looking for real?

Shen Qiu didn't know, but after thinking about it carefully, there are still many details that are worth discussing.

Mei Zhengming was a well-known businessman no matter what he was back then, so he naturally knew the importance of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his heart. If he was not fully sure, it would be impossible for him to take out the Jade Seal for screening.

A master of his level would never use his reputation to joke with outsiders!

Therefore, there must have been many twists and turns in this bizarre story.
