Chapter 32 Anhui School Boutique
Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat. Failed? Don't cheat your father!
Li Deming walked over with a serious expression, and several old masters who were already absent-minded came over.
"Old Li, what do you say?"
Li Deming handed a small brocade box to Zhong Yue, "It's untied. It's not the real Kong Ming button, it only has four eyes, so it moves faster."
Old Guo Da, who was on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if it's not broken, so let me see, orange peel and yellow, such a top-quality product, this seal costs tens of millions."
Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows? Tens of millions? Isn’t it 50,000?
He opened the brocade box and looked at the seal in it. The seal with cinnabar faced upwards. The Chinese characters are profound and profound, and have a long history. Even if you don’t understand seal script, you can still guess the general characters based on the general shape of the characters.
"The spring breeze of the ancient road." Zhong Yue murmured to himself. It seems that the system is true. This seal is likely to be something from the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Guo wiped his hands on the hanging bag, wrapped the seal with the yellow silk in the brocade box, and glanced at it, "The crane top is red? This is chicken oil yellow, not orange peel yellow..."
His tone was a little disappointed.
Zhong Yue also looked at the seal. The exquisitely carved crane pattern was the corner that Lao Guo had just peeled off. As for the entire square stone underneath, it showed a matte chicken oily yellow.
Among Tianhuangshi, frozen stone species are naturally the best. The chicken oil has a delicate texture, but is not as yellow as orange peel, so it can only be regarded as a medium quality.
"Do you understand seal script?" When he heard Zhong Yue say the four words "Spring Breeze in the ancient road", Li Deming looked at him in surprise. In this era, some young people don't even know rare words, let alone words like this. They need to be traced back thousands of years ago. Looking at Zhong Yue's outfit, he doesn't look like a scholarly family with a wealthy family.
Zhong Yue came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm not hiding it, I don't know it, it's just that I understand this seal."
"Zhimin, look at the tea." Li Deming sat down and stretched out his hand gesture, "You sit down too, tell me what do you know about this seal?"
"I don't show off in front of Mr. Li. I only know that it is something from the Ming Dynasty, a casual seal with the words "Ancient Road Spring Breeze" engraved on it."
Li Deming nodded, "It seems that when you came over, you already knew what was sealed inside. No wonder, those who don't know the truth will not know what is in it at all. But you only know one and not the other."
"Please give me some advice."
Li Deming took a sip of tea and moistened his lower lip, "Look at the side of the seal, under the crane."
"Dao Ren?"
"Yes, this seal is the work of Cheng Sui, a representative of the Anhui School of the Seal Hall in the late Ming Dynasty. Only those who have such seals understand the method of making Kong Mingku. Now such sealing techniques have long been lost. It can be seen that Taoist Ju loves this seal very much, and I don't know why it will fall into your hands."
"Thank you." Zhong Yue took the disposable paper cup and placed it aside.
Li Deming said: "As the successor of the Anhui seal, I attach great importance to your seal, but this Kongming buckle is not complete, and it is not very difficult to untie it. But I still want to collect this seal from you. Are you willing to give up?"
"No matter whether Kong Mingkou is true or not, he agreed to Mr. Li before, so he naturally kept his word."
When Li Deming heard Zhong Yue say this, his tight face finally smiled. The reason why he started to open his face was because this Kong Ming button was an incomplete Kong Ming button. He cheated on another thing of the younger generation, which seemed a little shameless, but he couldn't put it down.
"Okay, you can go back today. This Friday, I will find a few antiques in the city to come over, and then estimate your Tianhuang seal. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can also find someone who knows the industry."
Zhong Yue understood that the Tianhuang seal is a stone that can be broken for a person who collects seals. Qianlong loved Tianhuang even more. In order to create his favorite seal, large Tianhuang was already a rare item. He could only use it to grind off the seals in the court. Now it is regarded as a national treasure. The three consecutive Tianhuang seals, which are now considered as national treasures, do not have any glue bonds, but are carved from a piece of Tianhuang. The price is even more astronomical!
"Mr. Li, there is no need. Just say a price. I have a clear idea of the value of this seal."
"Oh? Are you not afraid that the price I mentioned is less?"
"There is no fixed price for antiques. It doesn't matter how much money the person you like will cost. If you ask him to pay a hundred yuan for someone you don't like, he will think it's too much. To be honest, Mr. Li, this time he came to you to identify the seal, and he planned to give it to you."
Zhong Yue is now short of money. If he can spend more than 50,000 yuan, he can live a more relaxed life. He doesn’t have to worry about food, food, oil and salt every day like he is now.
"Okay, since you trust me so much, this seal has just been weighed, with a gross weight of 23 grams. According to the price of this quality on the market, it is about 80,000 yuan. However, for my Anhui seal world, this seal is made by famous masters, and the price I can give is 160,000 yuan. You think about it."
"160,000? Master, is it too high?" Zhao Zhimin has been dealing with jade all year round. He knew in his heart how much value this Tianhuang seal was conservatively estimated at around 100,000 yuan.
Li Deming smiled slightly, "Just as this friend said, Tian Huang has price, but loves priceless. If you want to give it to me, this price is the highest price I can give."
Sixty thousand!
Zhong Yue couldn't help swallowing, which was 110,000 yuan higher than the system's valuation of 50,000 yuan!
"Then... make a deal." It's not about Zhong Yuekeng's small seal li. This thing was written by Cheng Sui, a master of the Anhui seal world. For Li Deming, who inherited the Anhui seal science, it was a rare treasure. Even if the seal stone itself is not valuable, he would buy it at a high price, let alone the emperor jade among the seal stones - Shoushantian Huangshi.
Seeing Zhong Yue's shocked look, Zhao Zhimin sighed and shook his head. The thoughts of the older generation were really nothing to say. It was obviously a small farmer from a ravine. If he gave him ten thousand pieces of seals, he probably was in a hurry to take action. If he had 160,000, his heart was bleeding.
"Do you want cash or remittance? If it's cash, you have to wait for a long time. Now you have 30,000 yuan."
Zhong Yue said: "Mr. Zhao, then transfer the money."
Zhao Zhimin put on a suit, "Master, then I'll go to the bank with this little brother to go through the procedures."
"Old Li, I also want to carve a seal I used."
Zhao Zhimin frowned, "I made a fortune and kept it for myself to eat and drink. You can't use this thing, don't spend that money."
"I am also a calligraphy enthusiast, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you, Mr. Li."
"Oh? Calligraphy, you can also calligraphy?" Li Deming became more and more curious about this young man. The young man who seemed to have emerged from a poor mountain valley could not be astonished as such. If ordinary people had probably made money from heaven, they would have been laughing from ear to ear.
"Well, I've practiced for a while."
Li Deming smiled, "It seems that you and I have a fate today. Come and show your hands, I will give you some advice."
