"If it can be confirmed that this carving was before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it can be regarded as a supporting evidence. It will be very helpful for confirming the origin of this seal." Mr. Liu nodded and pondered for a while. Sometimes it is necessary to seek evidence from multiple parties to form a chain of evidence, which is similar to court proceedings.

If the root carvings were formed before the Ming Dynasty and had not been disassembled, then the seals in the collection should naturally be before that. He thought about it and asked, "You all know the deeds of this Wenshan Gong in his later years, right?"

This question was directed at Wu Chen and Kong Si. As a descendant of the Tian family in Lingnan, Elder Tian naturally knew Wenshan Gong well.

Wu Chen nodded. He is from Chaoshan. This place is the most traditional, respecting culture and righteousness. Apart from Guan Erye, the most famous ones are Han Yu Han Wengong and Wen Tianxiang Wenshan Gong. Han Yuzhi Dynasty has many allusions, and now There are also many Korean Wenshan temples; Wen Tianxiang, as a model of loyalty through the ages, was worshiped in temples.

Kong Si also nodded, and said: "Do you want to keep your loyal heart to reflect the history!", who doesn't know!There is a middle school history book, Wen Tianxiang, whose name is Song Rui, and whose name is Lushan, and whose name is Wenshan, was born in Luling, Jizhou (now Ji'an, Jiangxi).

Wen Wenshan, who has been outstanding since childhood, participated in the Jinshi entrance examination for four years in Lizong Baoyou, and was the number one scholar in high school.In the first year of Emperor Gong's Deyou, Yuan soldiers drove eastward, and Wen Tianxiang raised troops in his hometown to fight against King Yuanqin.

In the second year, Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was besieged. Wen Tianxiang was urgently appointed Prime Minister You and Privy Envoy. In Jiangxi, Fujian, Ling and other places, he was defeated and captured in the end. He was unyielding and died in Dadu, which is today's capital.

"Yes, Wenshan is loyal and righteous through the ages, mighty and unyielding, it is not an exaggeration to be called a national hero." Mr. Liu is very pleased to see that these two boys are still somewhat knowledgeable, "Wenshan is in his later years, hey, actually It can’t be counted as old age. When he died, he was not yet 50 years old. He was in his prime. In order to help the Song Dynasty, he moved to various places in Lingnan all the year round, and often went to various places to contact the rebels. Here, it is reasonable to leave a token.”

"Could it be that this seal is a token of Wen Shangong's contact with Chaoshan Rebels? Later, after he was defeated and captured, and died generously, later generations hid it in a wooden carving?" Kong Si recalled the gold and iron horse back then. Rong gradually blended in and gave full play to his imagination.

Wu Chen nodded, expressing his deep agreement. Now it seems clear that after the failure of the rebel army, someone hid the official seal of Wenshan and the distribution map of the rebel army in each cottage at that time in the wooden carvings.Thinking of the densely packed hilltops in the small picture, one can imagine the scenes of people from all over the country raising their voices, but it is a pity that the wind is always blown away by the rain.

"Hey, Wood, why are you in a daze." Seeing Wu Chen's silence, Kong Si thought he remembered something.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just think of Wen Shangong's gold and iron horse back then, and I feel a little bit sad." Wu Chen said sadly.

"Yes, Chinese civilization has always been full of disasters and disasters. Without a strong unification, it will be humiliated by foreigners!" Mr. Liu took the opportunity to carry out ideological education. In the eyes of his generation, the problem of foreigners is the fundamental problem. The artillery career has been deeply imprinted in their minds.

But Mr. Liu was not allowed to start. Secretary Song had already walked in from the outside. He came to remind the old man that he had to rest.For a person like him, his fate is attached to the old man, and he takes care of him more carefully than his own old man. In his heart, he has a lot of opinions on the old man's wasting energy and not doing his job properly. In this case, he will usually come over to interrupt him within a certain time limit. .He is not afraid of the old man getting angry, anyway, he has Shang Fang's sword in his hand!

Sure enough, seeing Secretary Song's serious face, the old man had no choice but to complain to Mr. Tian with a wry smile: "He has to be put in prison before lunch! Sometimes he is really like a puppet, and they have the final say on everything!"

In recent years, the old man's wife is not in good health, and the family attaches great importance to the health of the old couple. The old man is under the supervision of medical staff all day long in Beijing.

He fought with his father on the battlefield in the early years, and later he was the top leader most of the time when he was in politics. He looked easy-going, but there was a spirit in his bones. Promise, you must follow the advice of the accompanying medical staff. The power of supervision is in the hands of Secretary Song, Guard Tie, and Ms. Sui.

Mr. Tian nodded, and said sympathetically, "Brother, you can rest for two more days, so you can worry less about outside affairs. You have had enough rest. In a few days, I will greet some old brothers and find a place for us to communicate internally. .”

"That's great!" Mr. Liu was very happy when he heard that. Mr. Tian, ​​as the pillar of the collectors in the south, is still very popular in this three-acre land. He often calls some old buddies to hold "appraisal meetings". , everyone took out the newly acquired treasures for a fight, and didn't care about the value, the main thing was to take the opportunity to get together and have a good time.

"Okay, then it's settled!" Mr. Tian is also very interested. He has been living at home all year round, and he has already left the business affairs to his son. It is also a great pleasure to get together and chat.

"Yeah." Mr. Liu nodded. When he mentioned Doubao, he was also very interested. When he was old, he was like a child sometimes. Besides, there were only a few hobbies left, so why not play this game? ?He thought for a while, and said to Wu Chen, "Little brother, I wonder if your Wenshan seal is willing to make a move?"

"Hehe, what the old man said, you just keep it for fun, and treat it as a meeting gift for the boy." Wu Chen said without hesitation. These words have actually been brewing in his heart for a long time, and he originally had the intention of selling them. , but since he entered here, he has made up his mind. He has been around for so many years, and he knows that many things are more important than money.

"This..." Mr. Liu obviously didn't expect Wu Chen to reply like this, he was taken aback for a moment, this kid was a little interesting, and looked at Wu Chen with a smile.

Tian Lao and Kong Si reacted differently. Tian Lao knew this old brother, and he never liked to take advantage of outsiders in his life, let alone such an expensive gift. Wu Chen was reckless this time, I'm afraid Brother Liu would feel uncomfortable.

Kong Si was a little surprised, this shot is heavy enough, so how much is the top Tianhuang that even Tian Lao and Liu Lao admired!Sending it out with such a fluffy sentence?Although he was bold, he couldn't help being frightened by Wu Chen.

"Hehe, anyway, it's all done in a daze. For me, the cost is not high. I am really grateful for the old man's explanation. This is a meeting gift for the boy, and I ask the old man to accept it. If there is something abrupt, please forgive me." After Wu Chen blurted out just now, he also felt a little reckless in his heart, he still didn't have enough effort, and it was a bit obvious, so he had to bite the bullet and add, but fortunately, these words were from the heart, saying It was quite sincere.

"Hehe." Seeing that Wu Chen's expression did not seem to be fake, Old Liu's doubts in his heart were gone, and he had a good impression, and said in a deep voice, "I have to thank you for today's matter, if it weren't for you, where would we have seen such a treasure... How about this, I accept the things, 2000 million, it should be more reasonable."

Mr. Liu set this price mainly as a reference to the market price. Recently, the Tianhuang seals made by Zhou Shangjun during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty were as high as 500 million for the personal use of Wu Guozhen and his wife, but it was a set with a total of 11 pieces.If it is a single product, apart from the seals of emperors such as Kangxi and Qianlong, the Tianhuang imitation Han Ping'an button seal in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties was taken into account. At that time, it was sold for more than 400 million yuan, but there is still a big gap between that and this one in terms of material.

This square Tianhuang is thin, clean, moist, greasy, warm, and condensed. It has six virtues, and its shape is regular. It is huge and weighs more than 300 grams. It can be called the best of Tianhuang. It's still underestimated, but antique shops and auction prices are just a reference, deducting commissions and other actual expenses and hype factors, generally they will be lowered when evaluating the reference.

Wu Chen thought about it for a while, and he was not hypocritical. If he postponed it at this time, he would not be conspicuous.What's more, 2000 million is not a small amount. Although he said it lightly, he still couldn't bear it in his heart. There is no way, my buddies are also poor now!Mr. Liu's proposal is the best!He nodded and responded.

Mr. Liu beckoned, and asked Secretary Song to ask Wu Chen for an account to transfer money. He took the piece of Tianhuang and rubbed it carefully. He knew that Mr. Tian also loved him in his heart. He had been an old brother for so many years, and he could feel it in his eyes. Then, "Brother Tian, ​​I'm going to take away love right now."

"Hehe, what are you talking about! Anyway, I will lend you some time later, that is, you are the one who pays, and I don't lose anything!" Mr. Tian himself also likes this seal very much, but in order to introduce Wu Chen and Kong Si to Mr. Liu had a good relationship, so he had no choice but to part with it.Looking at it now, today's trip has worked out very well, and he is also happy!

Seeing that the time was almost up, especially when there was a sulky Song Mi standing beside him, Mr. Liu didn't let them eat.Mr. Tian had eaten it a few times before, but the tasteless so-called "nutritious meal" turned him off, and he complained several times in front of Mr. Liu. That was even more outrageous than Mr. Tian's boiled vegetables!Elder Liu also had no choice but to smile wryly.

He came through hard times, so how could he be so particular about it!This health-preserving and that health-preserving ones are so annoying, they really worked hard to make a revolution, and once they return to the pre-liberation, they still have to eat coarse grains!He resisted several times, but all his children and grandsons rushed over and held a family criticism meeting all day and all night.

Mr. Liu didn't dare to relive this nightmare again, so he winked at Mr. Tian, ​​meaning to find some time to go to his place to drink some wine secretly, and chat with the old brothers about stinky farts.

Mr. Tian knew it well, nodded with an expression that I understood as a brother, and took Wu Chen to say goodbye to Kong Si.Mr. Liu deliberately patted Mr. Tian on the shoulder, comforting him with this seal, let him have fun for a while later!After they were delivered to the door, Boss Tie sent them to the parking lot and shook hands one by one to say goodbye.
