"Is there anything on my face?"

Qin Fan was a little furious when Zhao Ying saw him, and couldn't help but think in his heart whether this senior sister should be a little handsome, and what did he think about himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What if she made any unwarranted demands on herself......

It's just that if Zhao Ying can read minds, he will definitely kick Qin Fan out with one kick.

"Who's watching you, Stinky Beauty." Zhao Ying snorted coldly, and turned her head away with a proud face.

There are a lot of pursuits around her, including handsome guys and temperamental men, but Qin Fan obviously does not belong to this category. He is very ordinary at first glance, and he can't find it when he falls into the crowd, but the more he looks at it, the more pleasing he feels to the eye.

However, to say that Zhao Ying fell in love with Qin Fan at first sight, she thought too much, according to Zhao Ying's view of mate selection, Qin Fan was not her dish.

Qin Fan smiled and didn't care too much, turned to Zhao Zhihong and asked, "Brother Zhao, what is that antique you have on the phone?" Can you take it out and make me look long? ”

"The stuff is in the study, you wait."

Zhao Zhihong had an indescribable emotion on his face, turned around and took out a graceful and luxurious yellow brocade box from the study, and cherished the brocade box on the red sandalwood case.

"Uncle Zhao, what kind of treasure is this, so careful." Zhao Ying's dark eyes were full of curiosity, she only knew that Zhao Zhihong attached great importance to this thing, and usually kept it in the safe in the study, and locked the door every time she left the study. But what exactly was in the brocade box, she hadn't seen it either.

"Hehe, I'll know when it opens, I hope you don't be too surprised."

Zhao Zhihong sold a relationship, and it could be seen that the contents of the yellow brocade box must be very valuable, otherwise he would not be able to treat it so solemnly.

Qin Fan was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, his curiosity was aroused, and he put on gloves and carefully opened the yellow brocade box.

The moment the yellow brocade box was opened, Qin Fan's expression changed suddenly, and a graceful and luxurious purple treasure light jumped into his pupils.

Purple air comes from the east, this is a royal treasure!

I saw a jasper seal lying in the yellow brocade box, this jade seal is embossed on all sides, and the upper part of the seal is carved with nine dragons soaring between the auspicious clouds chasing the shape of the pearl.

"What a beautiful jasper!"

Zhao Ying was amazed, and her eyes were full of brilliance. Although she doesn't know much about jade, she also knows that this seal is by no means an ordinary jade, and it must have a great background.

"It's Baoxi!"

Compared with Zhao Ying, Qin Fan was even more shocked. I didn't expect Zhao Zhihong to collect a royal seal!

"What is the Treasure Seal?" Zhao Ying's little face was full of curiosity, and she tilted her head to look at Qin Fan, waiting for him to explain the origin of this royal treasure seal.

"Usually the jade seals mentioned in those costume TV series are professionally called treasure seals. Specifically refers to the jade seal of the ancient emperor, the most famous treasure seal in history, is the heirloom treasure seal engraved by Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to use He's bi. ”

It is recorded in the history books that the national treasure seal is engraved with the He's Bi, its square circle is four inches, the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", which is the evidence and token of the orthodox emperors of the Chinese dynasties.

This heirloom jade seal has been inherited in history for thousands of years, until November of the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, the last emperor Pu Yi was expelled from the palace by Feng Yuxiang, and the jade seal of the country disappeared. At that time, Feng Yuxiang's general, Lu Zhonglin and others pursued the jade seal of the country, but there is still no follow-up.

"In addition to the heirloom jade seal, all the seals used by the emperor when issuing edicts or other proclamations are called treasure seals."

"The Treasure Seal of the Emperor and Empress of the Ming and Qing Dynasties" records, "Who is the treasure seal? The seal worn by the Son of Heaven is said to be the seal worn by his subordinates. If there is no seal, the king's words cannot reach the four seas, and if there is no seal, there is a division, and the text cannot be moved. ”

Since Qin Shi Huang carved the jade seal of the country, the treasure seal system created by the Qin Dynasty was completely inherited by Liu Bang, forming the "Qin and Han Eight Seals System". This system also ran through various dynasties in ancient history, and it was not until Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty was proclaimed emperor that the eight-seal system was changed to the nine-seal system.

Later, the number of treasure seals soared, increasing to 12 treasures in the Northern Song Dynasty and 17 treasures in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are 24 treasures in the Ming Dynasty, and in addition to the 25 treasures in the Jiaotai Palace, there are also the famous "Ten Treasures of Shengjing".

These treasure seals are ordered by the emperor himself to be made, and generally have to go through the procedures of material selection, carving, selection of seals, book seals, presentation to the emperor's imperial review, modification, engraving, polishing, and submission, with strict requirements and fine workmanship. Textures include jade, stone, wood, bone, precious metals, etc., and almost all the materials that can be used to make seals.

Zhao Ying nodded as if she didn't understand, "According to this, shouldn't these treasure seals be hidden in the Forbidden City, how can they end up among the people?" ”

"You don't know this, the Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of Chinese seal culture. At that time, many treasure seals were made in the imperial court, but due to various reasons, many treasure seals were lost. Zhao Zhihong sighed regretfully, each of these treasure seals can be said to be the treasure of the Chinese nation, but now a large part of them have been lost abroad and exhibited in foreigners' museums.

"Brother Zhao, can I get my hands on this jade seal?"

Qin Fan's heart was itching, as if a cat was tickling. Although there are many seals in the antique market, the treasure seals used by the emperor are rare, and most of them are fakes and used to deceive laymen.

It's easy to see a treasure seal here in Zhao Zhihong, so naturally you can't miss it.

"Yes."

Zhao Zhihong called Qin Fan over just to let him palm his eyes, in fact, before Qin Fan, he invited many appraisal experts to help identify this treasure seal, but the appraisal results were not the same.

The weight of this treasure seal is not light, Qin Fan carefully held the treasure seal, and when he turned it over, he saw that the six-character seal inscription "The Treasure of Qianlong's Imperial Pen" was engraved at the bottom of it.

According to Qin Fan's knowledge, among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, both in terms of quality and quantity, the Qianlong Treasure Seal was the most, and he made more than 1,800 seals in his lifetime, of which more than 700 were lost, and more than 1,000 are now stored in the Yanjing Palace Museum.

Many of the lost seals were lost abroad due to the war, and today they are occasionally found in major museums around the world and in some international auctions.

After a long time, Qin Fan put the treasure seal in his hand back into the brocade box and sighed deeply.

This dragon pattern jasper treasure seal should be the imperial treasure seal of the Qianlong Emperor, but this treasure seal is not complete, one corner of it has been broken, and people have re-inlaid it with turquoise jade.

However, due to the poor inlay technology, insiders can see at a glance that the value of this treasure seal has dropped a lot.

According to his estimates, if the complete treasure seal is placed at auction, the final transaction price will definitely not be less than 100 million, but due to the above flaws, the price should be discounted.

"Brother Zhao, according to me, this treasure seal should be genuine from the hands of Emperor Qianlong, but it seems to have been cracked, and if you look closely, you can find the cracks on it."

Regarding Qin Fan's appraisal results, Zhao Zhihong was not too surprised. For him, this jasper treasure is not only a collector's item, but also hides a hidden past.
