Chapter 423 Fengmenqing, take over the handle

After the old man sat down, Lin Fengcao whispered to Yu Yao, "I saw a few things in the store and communicated with him a lot. He has good eyesight, but for some reason, he seems to be working in that antique store. He Seems to be very interested in you."

Yu Yao smiled lightly, "I'm not an antique. Since we've already left, then don't worry about him."

The old man didn't pay much attention to them, he ordered two small dishes and ate them by himself.

After a while, a tall, fat, middle-aged man came in. He seemed to have discovered the old man by accident. When he saw him sitting at the table, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile, "Old Qi? Are you alone?" people?"

The old man looked up at him, "Xiao Li, yes."

The middle-aged man sat down directly, "Old Qi, I'm alone too, so I won't hinder you?"

"You've already sat down, if I talk about getting in the way again, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for you?"

The middle-aged man laughed, and then ordered several dishes. The old man didn't ask for wine, but the middle-aged man ordered another jug ​​of wine.

During the process, the old man didn't talk much, but the middle-aged man seemed to have nothing to say.

"Today, are you going to Wenruitang again?"

"Well, wait a while."

"You have nothing to say to Boss Hong!" The middle-aged man raised his thumbs up, "Without you..."

The old man raised his hand to interrupt, "Xiao Li, the food is here, eat quickly."

The middle-aged man laughed twice, picked up the chopsticks, but stopped suddenly, "Old Qi, just what I told you last time, when do you think you will be free..."

"Old eyes are dim, and I can't understand many things." The old man picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I'm done eating, you can use it slowly."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly put down his chopsticks again, took out a small brocade box from his arms, quickly opened it and took out a seal, "Old Qi, I brought something with me today."

Yu Yao and the others basically finished eating.Yu Yao's position was facing the old man's table. Seeing the seal on the middle-aged man's hand, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

This is a seal of Fengmenqing. The total height is five or six centimeters, and the side length is about four centimeters. The seal button is not very real, it seems to be in the shape of a lion.

Fengmenqing is the best steatite among Qingtian stones.Qingtian stone was originally produced in Zhejiang Province. It is not uncommon to see a Fengmenqing seal in Shaoshi.However, Yu Yao roughly judged from the shape and the light feeling of the patina that this seal is quite old!

Moreover, Yu Yao had a vague feeling that it should be earlier than the Ming Dynasty.This surprised him even more.Because, for the Fengmenqing seal, he has not heard of any pre-Ming Dynasty seals on the market.

The carving history of Qingtian Stone continued during the Six Dynasties.Soochow of the Three Kingdoms, later the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen in the Southern Dynasties. The territory of the six dynasties all covered Qingtian, Zhejiang Province.

However, during the Six Dynasties period, there were only Qingtian stone carvings, and no real seals were found, let alone the Fengmenqing seal.Fengmenqing's seal, the real thing in the Ming Dynasty appeared, and it was difficult to verify it earlier.

Shoushan Tianhuang and Qingtian Fengmenqing are the most popular top materials for printing seals by ancient literati. They are outstanding in texture and have their own characteristics in color.

The cyan color of Fengmenqing is actually not deep, but a kind of yellowish light green.In ancient China, cyan generally refers to blue, such as azure, blue and white.But Fengmenqing has another saying——Fengmenqing, which mainly refers to pure and clean.

Although Yu Yao didn't take a close look at this seal green seal, but the feeling of warmth and jade is still very strong, not dry.

Anyone who has engraved a seal knows that if the stone is dry, it is difficult to use, because it is easy to crack.The more moist the better.But stone is just stone, not as warm as jade, which is one of the reasons why Fengmenqing is so precious.

The old man seemed eager to leave at first, but when he saw the seal, he immediately stabilized his body, "Xiao Li, you said there are batches of goods, is this one of them?"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "This is the only seal, and the other ones are too big, so it's not easy to carry. I just happened to see this today, and I saw a client in the morning."

"deal?"

"I won't take it back after it's decided, the other party thinks it's too high."

"Since you have taken it out, let me take a look." The old man nodded.

The middle-aged man quickly handed it over.

After the old man got started, he looked at it very carefully, especially the printed text.

It is naturally impossible for Yu Yao to read the printed text clearly.And the old man is also expressionless, it is difficult to deduce anything from it.

However, after the old man finished reading it, he smiled slightly and handed the seal back to the middle-aged man, "Put it away first!"

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but then he followed the old man's words.After putting it away, he couldn't wait to ask, "Old Qi, how are you doing?"

"They don't want it, it makes sense." The old man responded lightly.

The middle-aged man said, "Old Qi, don't scare me!"

"Before the Ming Dynasty, I hadn't heard of Fengmenqing's seal handed down. But this seal is too early." The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said.

"But, I..."

The old man pressed his hand and interrupted the middle-aged man, "Since I read it, I must tell you. But that's all I can say."

After all, the old man stood up, "You take it slow, take a step first!"

"Old Qi!" The middle-aged man stood up, "I'll see you off..."

The old man didn't express his opinion, he just walked towards the counter, and when he got there, he nodded slightly at Yu Yao's table as a greeting.At the counter, the middle-aged man rushed to pay the bill, but was rejected by the old man through the cashier.

When they arrived at the counter, the other three people at Yu Yao's table looked at Yu Yao together, and Pu Jie asked in a low voice, "You seem interested?"

"It's quite old, so it should be interesting."

"The old man doesn't seem to like it." Pu Jie grinned, "Otherwise, you'll just take over later."

Before Yu Yao could answer, Lin Fengcao said, "We don't know him, it's too abrupt."

"Hey! The antique business is not so particular, so let it be if he doesn't want to!" Pu Jie didn't care.

"Yes." Shang Yong agreed.

"Let's have a look." Yu Yao pondered.

After a while, the middle-aged man returned to his seat a little dejectedly. He got a glass of wine first, drank it down, and then picked up the chopsticks.

Yu Yao hesitated for a while, but finally got up, walked to the middle-aged man's table, bowed slightly, "Sir, excuse me. I'm a collector. I just glanced at you accidentally and you took it out." I am more interested in the seal, can you sit down and talk about it?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyes to look at Yu Yao, and then at the three people sitting on the table beside him, his eyes were slightly wary, "Are you a foreigner?"

"Yes, here to play."

The middle-aged man put down his chopsticks and hesitated a little, "Then sit down first."

Yu Yao sat down, "Don't worry, the players in the circle understand the rules and don't mess around."

The middle-aged man nodded, "If you really want to buy it, I can show you, but..."

"You mean change places?"

"No, this place is safe." The middle-aged man relaxed a little and smiled, "I just don't want to waste time."
