Chapter 69: The Seal of Loulan

Luo Lao picked up the seal, looked at it carefully for a while, and after confirming his guess, he continued: "I won't fight for the other two, leave this one to me! Don't worry, the price will not be lower than the auction." ”

"What kind of material is this?" He Tan saw that the old man could not bear to give up, and understood the preciousness of this seal.

He saw that the color of the seal was like the yolk of an egg, but it was much more transparent, crystal clear, and the color was gorgeous, and it would shine a stronger light in the light. The bottom of the seal is embossed with two words: Loulan.

"Jin Siyu knows, right?" said Luo Lao smiled.

seems to be asking He Tan, but in fact he is asking Yang Fan.

"It turned out to be golden silk, of course. He Tan nodded.

Golden silk jade is produced in the devil's city, the Gobi Desert, desert and other regions, for the very potential, can be carved artwork of jade varieties, because produced in the ancient Silk Road, jade is golden yellow, with radish pattern inside and named golden silk jade, is a unique precious jade variety in China.

"This should be the rarest gem light in the golden silk jade, right?" Yang Fan added.

Luo Lao nodded with satisfaction: "That's right! Golden silk jade is not difficult to find, and gemstone light is hard to find, especially the gemstone light of this seal." ”

It is a fine product of golden silk jade, and it is an aphanitic aggregate of quartz. But it is different from ordinary jade, the general jade is opaque or translucent, and the best gemstone light can reach transparent, the color is red, yellow, white three colors are the main.

In addition, it should be emphasized that because of the long-term lying on the Gobi Desert, the gold silk jade gemstone light has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, so that its structure is very stable, and it will not be as easy to lose water as other chalcedony, which is another manifestation of its superiority.

"Many people think that this is a newly discovered gemstone variety, after all, the gemstone light has only become red in the past few years. In fact, far back in ancient times, the ancient Silk Road had not yet been extinguished, and when Loulan and other prosperous sand cities existed, the gemstone light was excavated. Luo Lao said to Yang Fan and He Tan.

The one he has in his hand is a good proof of this. According to Luo Lao's speculation, Loulan is not the name of a certain person, but a record of the place name of Loulan, the ancient city that was once noisy.

As we all know, the ancient city of Loulan is world-famous, located at the hub of the Western Regions, and occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road. Silk and tea in China's interior, horses, grapes, and jewelry in the Western Regions were all traded through Loulan at the earliest.

However, by 630 A.D., it suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a ruin standing in the desert, which caused many reveries for future generations.

All the items related to Loulan were not left, and everyone only found the prosperity at that time through historical records.

At this time, Luo Lao encountered a treasure related to Loulan, which was not an ordinary treasure, so he naturally had to collect it himself.

Hearing what Luo Lao said, He Tan's eyes suddenly widened slightly, and he pointed to the seal: "That Loulan, isn't it a person's name?"

He was very surprised, seals! Normally, people's names are burned. In addition, the official seal is different. This piece is obviously a private seal!

"Probably not, you look at the carving around this seal, it is a microscopic impression of the ancient city. If I'm not mistaken, it's the epitome of a certain attraction in the ancient city of Loulan at that time. ”

The more he looked, the more Luo Lao affirmed his guesses, and the more imperative he was about this seal.

Yang Fan knew that Luo Lao was also mistaken. However, he didn't bother to correct it, knowing that it was one thing, but it wasn't so easy to explain.

Through understanding and extracting the memory of the seal, he knew that although this seal was related to the ancient city of Loulan, it was not an item of the ancient city of Loulan, and it was later carved to commemorate the ancient city.

The gemstone light was obtained from Loulan by the Tang Dynasty, and it was not carved at that time and was left behind. In the Song Dynasty, the ancient city of Loulan had mysteriously disappeared, and some people carved this seal under their feelings.

He Tan sighed, originally, this treasure was enough to make his auction a gimmick, and it was the most suitable for auction.

But this old guy is an elder, so he can't steal things from him, right? Although he usually talks to Luo Lao a few words, he still respects him very much in his heart.

"Do you think this will work? The treasure will be auctioned by the auction house, and you will come and participate in it when the time comes. He Tan said.

Anyway, with this old man's strength, it is not difficult to take this treasure.

Speaking of which, Luo Lao didn't want to embarrass his juniors: "Okay, put the treasure here first, and when it is auctioned, you can take it away for a while." ”

In fact, it is just to go to a field, earn a little sensational effect, and enhance the reputation of the auction house. In this regard, Luo Lao can still understand.

There are two other pieces, and the material of that paperweight is also a rare variety, which is a rare imperial stone.

Although this kind of stone is not a gemstone, it is also a wonderful, precious stone, produced in Guangdong. The Imperial Stone Mine is a rare ore resource in China, and it is also a rare precious stone in the world. According to local legend, the Emperor's Lady Stone is the treasure of the emperor, as noble as the emperor's daughter, and is favored and protected like a pearl in the palm of her hand.

In ancient times, it was discovered in the Ming and Qing dynasties and used for the construction of imperial palaces.

The essence of this paperweight, the surface is carved with various patterns, which looks a little gorgeous, and the two sides are two lines of words: There is a road for the road in the book mountain, and there is no end to the sea of learning!

"Did you dig out that old mansion?" Luo Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of these three treasures, none of them are ordinary.

The last pen grid is a rare red coral. Red coral is the finest of coral, jewel-like existence. In ancient times, it was even more precious.

Yang Fan smiled: "That family should have been a scholarly family a long time ago. ”

"You can see it. He Tan nodded.

Their auction house will also often draw attention to some old mansions, which are often the places where treasures frequently appear.

Especially some ancient families in decline, they don't know how many good things have been left behind. Don't think that people nowadays like to hide treasures, collecting is as popular as in ancient times, and all rare items are moved home, which is one of the heritage of a family.

It's right to think about it, in ancient times, China was the center of the whole world, and any treasure would flow to China. Some ancient market prices are simply the world's treasures.

"We're going to have another auction next month, and we're going to have to work hard to find a few more heavyweight treasures. He Tan said.

There is still no shortage of other auction items that should be appropriated by their auction house, and what they lack is some rare treasures that can cause commotion. It can be said that those items are the lifeblood of an auction house.

"I may be more free these days, I will look around, and as for whether I can meet it, sometimes it depends on luck. Yang Fan said.

This is deeply agreed by Luo Lao, sometimes you can't pick up the leak if you have the strength, luck is equally important.

At present, Yang Fan's luck is very good.

The ranking has dropped, which is related to the fact that the update of sauerkraut can't keep up, but it's really slow, and I'm trying to improve, I hope you understand!
