Chapter 327: Chicken Blood Longevity Lock

"Good. Yu Yao responded.

"In this way, I will ask someone to contact me first, and after the decision is settled, I will say hello, and then Mr. Yu can take the silk and go. ”

"Shao, let me ask more, are you looking for it in a range, or have you already chosen someone?"

Lin Shaocong smiled, "It's that I didn't make it clear, there are candidates." A friend once had a silk curtain on the door, which was also dirty, and he looked for this person. However, this person is in Shao City, Zhejiang Province, and she is an old woman, so I also have to ask a friend to deliver a message, so I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"Understood, then thank you in advance. ”

Mr. Yu was polite. Lin Shaocong has completely recovered at this time, and the problem has been solved, and he is in a good mood.

At this time, Lin Shaocong suddenly knocked on the door of his head, "It just so happened that I suddenly remembered something, and I looked for someone to see it, but I couldn't grasp it accurately." It's a coincidence today, can Mr. Yu help with the palm of his eyes?"

After Yu Yao nodded, Lin Shaocong turned to look at Xiao Ying again, "Don't delay Master Xiao's rest, right?"

"I'm not tired. ”

"Yes, both, please come to me. Lin Shaocong raised his hand and led to the door. It turned out that the thing was not in the collection room.

Lin Shaocong took the two of them up to the second floor and entered a room similar to a study. However, half of the space in this room is a sofa coffee table, like a reception area.

The nanny brought tea, snacks, dried fruits or something, and Lin Shaocong closed the door after the nanny left.

"Sit down. Then, Lin Shaocong went to the bookcase area and took out a small wooden box from the safe placed in the cabinet below. This safe is not large, presumably for small things.

"Mr. Yu, please!" Lin Shaocong put the small wooden box on the coffee table.

This small wooden box looks freshly made, the best blood dragon wood, the wood is delicate, oily and thick, dark red and black.

Regarding the blood dragon wood, there are more false rumors on the market, in fact, it is not so magical, but it is not an ordinary wood, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, red and yellow are more common, red and black and even black are rare, and the value of high oil content is relatively high.

Yu Yao opened the box, which was lined with a sapphire blue flannel inside, and what was placed was a piece of bloodstone.

But not a seal.

It is an oval-shaped long-life lock with a button on it, and the button is perforated. The width is six centimeters, the height is slightly smaller, about five centimeters, and the thickness can be more than one centimeter.

Yu Yao carefully looked at the shape and pulp, and preliminarily concluded that it should be something from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

This is a piece of Changhua bloodstone. There are two kinds of stone in Zhejiang Province, one is Qingtian stone, and the other is bloodstone.

The value of bloodstone needs to be distinguished very carefully, and there is a big difference between high and low. At the same time, not only Changhua, Zhejiang Province has bloodstone, but also Bahrain bloodstone, Guilin bloodstone, and so on.

As far as Changhua bloodstone alone is concerned, there are also many grades of quality. According to the basic characteristics of texture, there are four categories: frozen ground, soft ground, rigid ground, and hard ground. And if you want to divide the varieties specifically, there are more than 100 kinds to say the least.

Simply and generally speaking, the value of bloodstone mainly depends on two aspects, one is naturally "chicken blood", bright or not, dignified or not, thick or not, and the size of the area, mainly from these aspects to judge.

On the other hand, nature is texture. The so-called chicken blood is actually mercury sulfide crystals, and the texture is what kind of "ground zhang" the chicken blood attaches to, and the "ground zhang" is the original stone bottom.

Among them, the frozen ground is the most expensive, the soft ground is the most common, the rigid ground and the hard ground are too hard, there are few engravings, and most of them are large-scale handicrafts.

There are many varieties of frozen bloodstone, the purer the better, the light is translucent, and it is best to complement each other with chicken blood, and the blood is blended.

This Changhua bloodstone seal, is mutton fat jelly, is one of the most precious varieties of frozen bloodstone, one side is almost full of blood, only the edge of the frozen ground is exposed, and the other side is half blood, revealing an irregular area in the middle. Although the blood color is not thick enough, it is fresh and dazzling, and the color is uniform.

Just such a piece of Changhua bloodstone material, regardless of the value of antiques and carving technology, the raw materials can be fried to more than one million.

Generally speaking, ancient longevity locks are gold, silver or jade products, and bloodstone is rare.

However, Changhua bloodstone has flourished in the Ming Dynasty, and many emperors in the Qing Dynasty have also used bloodstone to treat seals, and there are also some handicrafts among the people. It is not surprising that some people used it to make longevity locks in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Strange is the lettering on it.

On the half-blooded side, in the middle of the open ground, two words were engraved.

A character is large, with a round border, seal script, is a Yangwen "Zheng" character.

A word is small, with a square border, Lishu, also Yangwen, is a "Sen" word

Of course, this is not a strange place, and it is clear that this should be the name of the doll wearing the longevity lock. Strangely, on the other side of the full blood, words were also engraved, directly horizontally and without a border.

Yu Yao didn't know.

Because this is the Wa Chinese script, it looks like four characters.

Yu Yao pointed to these Japanese characters and looked at Lin Shaocong, who responded, "This Changhua chicken blood longevity lock was obtained by me from the Japanese Kingdom." These characters, translated as 'Fusong'. ”

"Zheng Sen, Zheng Fusong?" Yu Yao originally saw "Zheng Sen", and his heart was already up and down, and with the word "Fusong", he directly showed a look of surprise.

Zheng Sen, also known as Fusong, is known as Ming Yan and Damu.

These names sound relatively ordinary, and he has another name that is much more famous.

Zheng Chenggong.

Lin Shaocong nodded, "The carving and pulping of bloodstone are more difficult to identify than ordinary jade, so I would like to ask Mr. Yu to accurately determine the date." ”

"The year is right, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. The use of bloodstone also makes sense in the region, and as for the Japanese script, it is also in line with his life experience. ”

After Xiao Ying heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yu Yao, "This?"

Yu Yao saw that Xiao Ying didn't know much about it, so he started talking about it in a syllabic manner.

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a big pirate Zheng Zhilong on the southeast coast. He was not a pirate in the ordinary sense of the word, he had a strong navy, and he was very popular in the Wa Kingdom, and more importantly, he later rebelled on the island of Taiwan according to the Ming Dynasty's system. ”

"The Ming Dynasty adopted the method of recruiting An, and Zheng Zhilong was very comfortable with this set and was recruited to be sealed. However, after Zheng Zhilong had been an official for more than ten years, the Qing army entered the customs, and two years later, he fought to the south of the Yangtze River. Xu is Zheng Zhilong is old, he doesn't want to toss anymore, he didn't fight with the Qing court, and went down directly. ”

"Father and son soldiers went into battle, but the Zheng family was different. Lao Tzu descended to the Qing Dynasty, but his son vigorously resisted the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong's son is Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong resisted the Qing Dynasty along the southeast coast and was later repulsed, but he was still able to hold on to Jinxia. ”

"It was precisely because of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty that Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty gave him the national surname 'Zhu' and the name 'Chenggong'. Therefore, this well-known name is actually halfway through. ”
