Shen Mingji took down the Zigang card hanging on his chest, "Master Qin, this Zigang card was given by the emperor to our master, and it is said to be worth a few hundred taels of silver, so I will use it as a deposit." ”

Hao Jun hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not appropriate for you to give something to others as a reward from the emperor, right?"

"That's true, let alone give away the things rewarded by the emperor, even if they are lost or even damaged, it is disrespectful. To tell you the truth, I don't feel safe wearing it all day. However, it doesn't matter if you take it, I don't need to worry, it can be explained that I took away the collateral of Qin Ye's eight night pearls, after all, it was an auspicious gift for the emperor! ”

Hao Jun was secretly happy in his heart, the Zigang brand is indeed valuable, the market price in recent years has not been less than one million yuan, and the transaction price is usually more than three million, or even close to ten million.

Compared with the jade rough whose value is not very clear, take this piece of Zigang brand, and the money is a sure profit!

But he was also a little hesitant, he didn't want to put Shen Mingji in a disadvantageous situation because he could make a lot of money, and he didn't want to cause trouble to Qin Rui.

So, he asked seriously: "Is it really okay if I take it?"

"You can relax, I am doing things for the emperor, and I am also thinking about the broader future of our master, the emperor and our master praise me too late, maybe there will be another reward." ”

Since Shen Mingji said it so surely, Hao Jun unceremoniously put away the Zigang card, at least one million in hand!

Hao Jun pointed to the two night pearls that had not been confiscated and asked Shen Mingji, "I think the graphics in these two night pearls are more suitable for Miss Shen's temperament and beauty, why does Miss Shen have a soft spot for magpie Dengmei?"

Shen Mingji stared at the night pearl in his hand and lightly opened his lips, "Magpie Dengmei, what others think of is joy, but I love plum blossom ice muscle jade bone and Ling Han fragrance more, which makes people energetic and full of vitality at all times, just like being able to retain youth." ”

Hao Jun couldn't help but sigh a little, Shen Mingji didn't like the appearance of the old Zhuhuang very much, thinking that a woman should die before the age of forty, and repeatedly revealed to Ji Xiaolan that he would rather Yinghua die early, so that the best appearance could always remain in Ji Xiaolan's memory, and she was also using plum blossoms as a metaphor at the moment.

Facts have proved that Shen Mingji really let the best appearance remain in Ji Xiaolan's memory, Ji Xiaolan used seven or eight hundred words to describe her in the book she wrote, and the other wives and concubines did not have so many words together......

After Hao Jun returned to Qin Rui's mansion, he locked himself in the bedroom, first took out the piece of Zigang card and admired it carefully, now it is his own thing, and he has seen more than he invested in Shen Mingji.

Zigang is a person's name, surnamed Lu Zigang, is a person from Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, he is a very thoughtful and skilled jade carving master, and likes to leave his name "Zigang" on the carved works.

The jade brand that has prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties is created by Lu Zigang, who is particularly good at bas-relief, contrasting with reality and reality, and sparse and dense, so that people do not feel cumbersome and have a sense of spiritual emptiness. The shape is vivid and the lines are smooth, so that people do not feel sluggish and have a sense of elegance. The delicate thinking and exquisite design make people feel rough and ingenious.

Zigang brands are Hetian jade, and they are all seeds, the length and width are very particular, the size is moderate, and the square is right. On the one hand, he carves landscapes, flowers and birds, figures, and animals, without losing the painter's brush and ink taste. The other side is carved with poems, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, as if the calligraphy master is directly written on it, and there is a Zigang seal. Coupled with the exquisite and transparent card head decoration, it has a high ornamentality, not only showing the beauty of jade between square inches, but also the essence of jade workmanship.

Lu Zigang has excellent skills and is famous all over the world, so the emperor asked him to make a jade for himself, but he couldn't leave his name on it. Lu Zigang said that if he didn't leave his name, he wouldn't carve, and the emperor said that he would be beheaded if he resisted the order, so Lu Zigang had to agree to do it.

After the jade was ready, it was presented to the emperor, but the emperor noticed that there seemed to be an unevenness when he was happily groping, so he took it to the sun and looked at it carefully, and found that there was a "Zigang" in it.

The emperor was particularly angry and beheaded Lu Zigang for the crime of bullying the king.

A generation of jade carving masters fell early, and his unique knives and craftsmanship were lost, but his works have always been sought-after, and fakes have emerged in an endless stream.

Since this piece of Zigang brand is given by Emperor Qianlong, the jade master, it is 100% the genuine product of Lu Zigang!

Hao Jun finished admiring the Zigang card, put it away, and went to inspect the jade rough.

To his surprise, almost all of these jadeite rough stones were windowed!

It's not difficult to understand that jadeite in the current era has not yet become popular, not to mention the confusing gambling stones, and few people pay for the windows!

Some of them opened the second window, the third window, or even the fourth window because the position of the opened window was not suitable, and they could not see a good water color!

In other words, those who have not opened the window are clear at a glance, and those who have opened the window are even more clear and understandable!

Hao Jun originally estimated that if these jadeite rough stones were all the water colors he had seen before, they would be worth three or five billion yuan to be modest. But now it seems that this total value is going to be rewritten, plus three or five times!

Because there are a lot of top-notch goods that make him excited at a glance and want to shout!

What is jade cabbage? That's just carving jade into the shape of cabbage, and that's what it's called jade cabbage! Jade is just the price of cabbage!

Hao Jun was idle, so he simply graded and piled all the jadeite roughs, and asked Pan Liu and Lu Yan to accompany him to buy twenty large hardwood boxes with iron sheets, as well as some cotton wool, and packed and sealed the jadeite rough overnight......

On a new day, I still go out in the morning to look for people in a high-profile manner, and I have to go to the downtown area.

After lunch, Hao Jun took a hundred night pearls and a hundred pieces of jade, and went to the Jingyutang jade shop at the front gate alone.

He entered the door and took a look, and secretly praised that it was indeed a time-honored brand, not only the signboard on the outside made people admire, but also showed everyone's momentum inside.

Hao Jun has already asked Pan Liu in detail, Jing Yutang is the only one of the six jade shops in Beijing that does not have the slightest official and Jianghu background, relying on a powerful business guild behind it, and pursuing the principle of voluntary transactions, there is no phenomenon of bullying customers in the shop, nor is it like the official background of bullying people, and it is unlikely that there will be black eating black with Jianghu background.

The shopkeeper Xi, who traded with the head of the dealer, was the most powerful person in Jing Yutang now. Hao Jun estimated that the night pearl was too shocking, and it directly alarmed the "general manager".

At this moment, when Hao Jun noticed the glass lampshade erected in the center, he confirmed this even more, because inside the glass lampshade was the night pearl!
