Chapter 3 Traceability of Jade
The jade bi was on my desk, I didn't deliberately hide it, I picked up the Qinling jade bi, and hesitated slightly, maybe it was an instinctive concern, but after thinking that this jade bib was half of Shangguan Yaxiong's, I relaxed my vigilance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I carried Yubi back to the living room, Shangguan Hong was making tea by himself, looking at his skillful movements, he was already a master of the tea ceremony.
Seeing the jade in my hand, Shangguan Hong put down the tea cup in his hand and stretched out his hand to greet the jade I held.
When the jade was in Shangguan Hong's hands, he could see the special jade at first sight, and I could tell from the strange light flashing in his eyes that he liked this jade very much, and it should be worth a lot of money.
Shangguan Hong carefully observed the jade, including the weight in his hand, the size and thickness of the jade, the color and the color, and only after a long time did he ask: "This piece of jade is the ancient jade you brought back from this expedition?" ”
Shangguan Hong's question made me a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't it right?" ”
"Hehe, that's right, this piece of jade is well preserved, and this kind of condition is rarely seen in today's market." Shangguan Hong said with a smile.
"That's right!" I'm relieved.
Shangguan Hong smiled and commented: "The thing is absolutely right, there is no problem, the ancient jade is undoubtedly made of Lantian jade, although the jade is plain, the production is very examined, the size and specifications are exquisite, judging from the color, it has been buried for at least thousands of years." ”
"Is that sure what age it is?" I then asked Shangguan Hong, and it seemed that he really knew about this thing.
Shangguan Hong frowned, did not draw conclusions, and continued to study the jade.
The jade bi was held in Shangguan Hong's hand, very carefully.
After that, Shangguan Hong said again: "This is definitely a product of Qin's unification of the world, earlier than that period." ”
"This range is large, as early as the Neolithic period, the ancestors had evidence of wearing Lantian jade, and that period was less than 5,000 years old." I would like to know the approximate age of the jade, and the smaller the range, the better.
"Judging by the level of craftsmanship of the jade bi, it should be in the Warring States period, and the main feature of the plain bi is simple and regular, so it can be inferred that this jade bi should have appeared in the same period as the famous Heshi bi at that time." Shangguan Hong still saw and analyzed.
"Dad, you're saying this piece isn't He's Bi!" Shangguan Yaxiong had been listening to us in silence, and couldn't help but say at this time.
Shangguan Hong shook his head and smiled: "I don't know!" ”
"Yes, after all, there is no relevant information about He's Bi, no one knows what He's Bi looks like, even if this piece is He's Bi and what evidence is there to prove it, it is said that He's Bi has made a jade seal of the country, and He's Bi is definitely not the same as the jade Bi we see now, this thickness must not be a seal, and even ordinary seals are too thin." I couldn't help but play with what I had learned.
"It's still people who have knowledge and read a lot." While Shangguan Hong flattered me, he was also educating Shangguan Yaxiong.
The advent of He's Bi should start with Bian and offering jade, Chu people Bian He cut down the beautiful jade in Jingshan, respectively dedicated to King Chu Li and King Wu of Chu, the result was identified as a stone, respectively, cut off Bian He's left and right feet, after King Wen of Chu ascended the throne, Bian He and offered jade to King Wen, which has been famous so far.
The Qinling jade bi was identified by Shangguan Hong as appearing in the Heshi Bi period, that is, it appeared around 700 BC, and it has been about 2,700 years so far.
The appearance of Heshibi in the same period does not mean that it appeared in the same place as Heshibi.
"Then can you tell the origin of this piece of jade?" I looked at Shangguan Hong, who was gently stroking the jade of Qinling, and asked.
Shangguan Hong said uncertainly: "Lantian jade is named after Lantian Mountain in Xi'an, but a long time ago, the jade mine disappeared, and now there is a jade mine that is no longer sure whether it is the same place in the past, so it is difficult to determine." ”
Seeing that Shangguan Hong was also embarrassed, I didn't dare to make a conclusion, so I could only take a step back for the time being and ask: "I'm curious about the origin of the jade material, if you can figure it out for me, I appreciate it very much!" ”
I can't tell why I have to figure out the origin of the Qinling jade, as if there is an invisible force in the dark that guides me to do so.
"Well, I'd like to figure it out." Shangguan Hong pondered, and continued to play with the jade bi in his hand, reluctant to put it down.
To me, Qinling jade is just a piece of jade, and it doesn't have much value.
"If you can help me figure out the origin of the jade bi, I am willing to give you my half!" There are quite a lot of people like Shangguan Hong, not to mention that he is also a collector, there must be many such friends, and there is no shortage of masters.
"What's so embarrassing about this!" Shangguan Hong really loved Yubi, but she had a clear look, and suddenly became embarrassed.
"Yes, this is all in exchange for life!" Shangguan Yaxiong looked at me at this time and said to me.
I shook my hand: "It's just the process, the process doesn't matter, I just want the result." ”
I still only want to know where Ji Wan is, and the rest is worthless to me.
"That's it, I'm willing to pay for it, I'll take the jade to a master for appraisal first, and I'll tell you the exact result." Shangguan Hong said, I don't know where he got a piece of cloth and wrapped the jade bi.
"Dad, I have half of this jade, how much are you going to buy it?" Shangguan Yaxiong did not forget to bargain with his father.
Shangguan Hong had obviously already estimated the price, and replied without thinking: "Eight million!" ”
"What?" I was really shocked when I heard it, this piece of jade is actually worth 8 million yuan, if other people know, they will definitely not be able to spare me, I have taken a big advantage this time.
"Well, eight million, if Xiao Qin is willing to make a deal, I will transfer it to you immediately." Shangguan Hong seemed to be afraid that I would regret it, and immediately said that it could be closed.
I immediately stood up, and I said that I wanted to think that this was already a huge amount of money, and that the price, even half of it, was several times more than the money I had paid for writing over the years.
Just imagine, there are not many good things that can be exchanged for so much money in a single piece of the general tomb nowadays.
"Qin Qi, if you don't want to, I can add some points and give you a whole number, how about 10 million?" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hong thought that I was not satisfied with the price, and added another two million in the blink of an eye.
In fact, it's not that I'm not satisfied with the price of jade, but I'm very surprised that this jade is so valuable, the surface is calm, I am very excited, I want to be calm and calm, but I don't think about it, at this moment, I earned an extra two million.
"What I want is the source of the jade, I want to trace it back to the source, and we will discuss it after we figure out the source!" I determined that until I figured out the origin of the jade, I couldn't get rid of the Qinling jade. (To be continued.) )
