Chapter 483: Not Emerald
At this time, another person "invites" the so-called ancestral property.
In fact, there are only two things, one is jade, and the other is a copper seal.
"Did anyone collect this thing? Are there any official seals from ancient times?" Xu Hong picked up the copper seal and couldn't help asking. The main reason is that this thing doesn't look artistic.
"It is an official seal. Official seal was very important in ancient times, so naturally people will collect it. In all dynasties, the production of official seals was very strict. Almost every one was carefully crafted and of course valuable." Hu Guang said.
The official seals are uniformly cast by the Ministry of Rites' Casting Bureau. Each seal is cast by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites requests the emperor according to the text. After approval, the Imperial Heaven Supervisor will select an auspicious day to open the furnace and cast the seal bureau.
The seal is cast and must be sent to the cabinet and can be issued only if it is read by the cabinet bachelor. The size, thickness, composition, weight and date of issuance must be registered and archived in detail for verification.
The seals of the Qing official are also very complicated. According to factors such as the quality of the official, the attributes of the official seals include gold, silver, jade, sandalwood, gilt, and bronze. The button styles include dragon, turtle, qilin [图全娱], camel, tiger, twig, and cloud. The Chinese characters include jade-rod seal, silhouette seal, willow-leaf seal, hanging needle seal, hanging dew seal, nine-fold seal, etc. The names include treasure, seal, gate defense, picture notes, and strip notes.
When the owner heard Huyang say this, he was so happy.
"It's still the guy who has vision, see how much it is worth." The man said with a compliment.
Xu Hong asked, "How much do you plan to cost?"
OK! Seeing that Xu Hong had the idea of starting, Poplar Hu didn't say anything for the time being, so let them talk first. Just now, when this copper seal appeared, it had already attracted the attention of Poplar Hu.
It’s not that it is precious, but that it’s a problem. His treasure hunting eye told him that this seal is of high value. But the knowledge eye told him that this seal was cast at the time.
This is the first time that Poplar Hu has encountered such a situation, and the treasure hunting eye and the knowledge hunting eye have a conflict.
The man saw Xu Hong asking for the price all of a sudden, and thought that the man was sincere. So he made an eight-way gesture: "Eighty thousand, can you accept it?"
In fact, both of them were very nervous because someone had seen this print, and they were not alone. In the end, they didn't even ask about the price, so they obviously didn't like it.
As for the other piece of jade, some people offered it very low price, and they both were reluctant to let it go.
Today, they discovered the young people like Huyang and immediately set their sights on them. Young people feel unreliable! How much can they know at this age? Such people are the easiest to promote their own things.
Where did Xu Hong understand these? He turned his inquiry eyes to Poplar Hu.
Hu Yang nodded slightly at him: "Brother Xu, you might as well make up for it and give them 100,000."
OK! Since Poplar said this, it means that the value of this seal is much more than this number. Xu Hong is not an iron rooster, and he doesn’t care whether he has 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and it doesn’t matter if the villagers are cheap.
"Haha! OK, since Brother Hu said that, I'll give you 100,000."
The two men were very happy. As expected, the young people were easy to talk to, and even gave an extra 20,000 yuan. People may not look down on such a little money, but this is their income alone for half a year!
"Thank you, thank you!"
Xu Hong handed the seal to Huyang and transferred it to the other party 100,000 yuan.
After studying Poplarhus for a while, he finally found the reason.
Since Xu Hong bought one, he didn't ask about the other one again. It's not a good habit to eat alone, and it's easy to have no friends.
"Brother, do you want this jade cabbage?" another man asked again.
That's right!
Another piece is jade cabbage, which is a classic carving shape in jade carvings.
Among the many jade cabbages, the most famous one is undoubtedly the one from the Qing palace, and the one played with by Empress Dowager Cixi.
The white vegetable body and the green vegetable leaves complement each other, and two katyds and locusts are carved on the vegetable leaves. The whole work has a high degree of fidelity and looks like a real cabbage from a distance.
In fact, the jade cabbage collected in the Qing Palace, as a jade product with a symbol of folk culture, was not uncommon among the palace jadeware in the late Qing Dynasty. There were even three palace jades in the Palace Museum in North Taiwan.
As the actual ruler of the late Qing government, Cixi was fanatical about jade. It was under her strong promotion that the jade craze in the late Qing Dynasty began to rise, and the jade works in the Qing Palace Construction Office also began to regain their vitality. Various exquisite and beautiful jade products began to be released one after another.
However, among these jade artifacts, Cixi's favorite jade cabbage was the most beautiful. This treasure that Cixi had most loved and later became a burial object and buried with Cixi in the Eastern Qing Tombs.
Everyone must have heard of what happened later. Cixi's tomb was dug out by warlords, and the treasure inside was stolen. The whereabouts of the jade cabbage were unknown from then on.
Huyang shook his head: "This is not jade, but jade. Tell me how much it costs!"
Um?
Not jade?
No wonder, the prices given by those people before were so low.
When he heard Hu Yang's words, the owner hesitated. He shouted too much for fear of scaring these people away, and he would suffer losses if he shouted too little.
He thought for a while and asked, "How much is the average jade worth?"
"Is it average? Jade is usually not very valuable, with dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, and thousands of dollars, and few tens of thousands of dollars."
Is it so low? No wonder someone was willing to give only 200 yuan before. This is too much different from the psychological price they expected.
But they didn't want to keep this kind of thing in their hands. After thinking about it, one of them said, "Is it okay for two thousand yuan? If there is no price at all, we can only collect it ourselves."
Hu Yang looked at Andy Lau and the others: "Whoever wants it, if you have two thousand yuan, it's okay."
Andy Lau and the others guessed that Ye Mei’s family was not well-off, so they both deliberately asked her to wink her.
Ye Mei naturally would not be polite and immediately raised her hand: "I'll do it, I want it."
So, the transaction between the two parties was completed quickly and everyone was very happy. The two villagers even enthusiastically said that they could take Huyang and others to walk around the village. They knew about the situation of each family and knew who had old objects, so they were willing to be the leader.
They mainly saw that Hu Yang was a honest person, so they were willing to help.
At least this young man would tell them about the situation of the object, rather than some second-hand dealers who knew it was a treasure, kept belittling, lowering the price, etc.
Anyway, no one has ever given them such a high price for the official seal.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Hu Yang nodded.
"Second, please take the guy and the others. I remember that there is a treasure at my fifth uncle's house. I don't know if it's bought it. Go quickly."
Chapter completed!
