Chapter 368: Zigang Pai and Zongtang Jade

Wu Province told Lin Feng that the seven characters reflected in the way of jade carving and the dragon pattern of the Warring States Period were actually left by Wu Province's father.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Xingxing seems to be about seventy years old, if his father is still alive now, it may be nearly 100 years old, according to the time of about 100 years old, his father may indeed be a person from the Republic of China.

The Warring States Dragon Pattern Crystal Cup is indeed a genuine product of the Warring States Period.

The two pieces of jade with the Warring States dragon pattern crystal cup are actually works of the Republic of China, imitating the Warring States style jade.

Since Wu Xing said that those words were left by his father.

So.

The two pieces of imitation jade of the Republic of China are naturally from the hands of Wu Province's father.

Therefore, Wu Sheng's father should be a top jade carving master during the Republic of China.

Because, only the top jade carving masters can do it, not only have beautiful patterns, but also leave clues in the light and shadow of the pattern.

But Wu Province's original family was Tumen, that is, tomb robbers, shouldn't Wu Province's father be a tomb robber?

Wu Xing seemed to be able to see Lin Feng's doubts.

He explained.

"Mr. Lin, I know you will have doubts."

"The Wu family is indeed the Tumen family, but although my father's lineage is in the Tumen, he has always been in the business of jade carving. My father's name is Wu Zongtang, and he was a master of jade carving in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China."

"Mr. Lin should know that in the Ming Dynasty, there was Lu Zigang, who founded the Zigang Jewelry Workshop, and the Zigang brand is famous all over the world. However, Lu Zigang became a monk in his later years and had no heirs to inherit his business, so most of Lu Zigang's skills were passed down by his apprentices who specialized in Zhuxiang. In the Qing Dynasty, the word Zigang was completely transformed into a brand, but with the increasing number of imitations, the jade carving skills became more and more superb, and there were not many truly brilliant jade carvers, such as jade carvers who could reach the level of Lu Zigang."

"In the late Qing Dynasty, the world declined, and most of the people who appreciated jade and played with jade were concentrated in the princes and nobles. My father Wu Zongtang was sent to Zhuanzhu Lane since he was a child, and followed the jade carving master to learn jade carving, and the family thought that it was time for the Wu family to wash their hands in a golden basin, and if they continued to do the work of the soil gate, it would damage Yin Virtue, and the family was afraid that it would decline. For, in my father's generation, except for my father's two sons, the other six sons did not even have a single child. My father was naturally very competitive, and he was indeed fond of jade carving, and when he was about 20 years old, he had already surpassed the jade carving skills of the seven masters he was with at that time. By the time he was twenty-three years old, he had already made a name for himself throughout the country."

"The top jade carving boutique of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Zongtang jade, is from my father's hand."

Lin Feng also knew something about what Wu Province said.

When he was in the deep mountain villa, Lin Feng had seen a lot of jade carving-related materials, including some records about Zongtang jade, of course, the name of Wu Zongtang, the jade carving master, Lin Feng had also heard of it.

Lin Feng looked at Wu Province and said.

"I didn't expect that Master Wu Zongtang was actually your father, Master Wu Province!"

"In this way, the Wu family's thinking is indeed correct, your father carried forward the jade carving industry, and in your hands, there are also many jade carving industries that have been developed to modern times."

"The Wu family is indeed considered to have succeeded in transformation!"

Wu nodded.

"That's right, it's mostly a successful transformation."

"It's just that the Wu family's foundation in Tumen is too deep, and it is not easy to completely transform. You have also been in contact with Wu Wu, and he is still in charge of everything in Tumen, and he is even engaged in various activities related to tomb robbing."

"My father left a letter and left. Originally, my father said that the two of us brothers were in charge of these industries under his control, and those jade carving workshops were also divided between one person and one half. But in this letter, my father said that if he wants to kick my brother Wu Wu out of the Wu family, everything in the Wu family must be controlled by me alone."

"At that time, I didn't understand what my father meant, and at that time, I had a good relationship with my brother Wu Wu. When Wu Wu saw this letter, he was very angry,

He didn't believe it was true, but a few uncles in the family came out to see it, and it was indeed my father's handwriting, and the contents of the envelope were all true, and there was the dragon seal that my father had carved for himself below." ap.

"The dragon pattern is perfectly combined with his name Wu Zongtang, this kind of seal, no one can imitate it."

"Wu Wu fell out with me that day, he told me that he and I are not together, I am no longer his own brother, and he has nothing to do with me. Moreover, he also told me that he would make me pay the price and let the people of the Wu family know who is more suitable to be the heir of the Wu family."

At this point, Wu Xing paused and took a sip of tea.

He continued.

"I didn't expect that, in fact, before that, Wu Wu had already co-opted the old Tumen departments that had been dismissed by the Wu family before. Because the rest of the Wu family no longer does the work of Tumen, so, when Wu Wu pulled those people together, his power rose up all of a sudden, at that time it was still a period of war, Wu Wu took advantage of the opportunity of no one to take care of the troubled times, went to rob tombs everywhere, and even, formed his own team, the power expanded wildly, and in the rivers and lakes, the Wu family once again became the representative of Tumen."

"At that time, Wu Wu constantly suppressed the industry in my hands through various means, persecuted, and bribed those uncles of the Wu family, and handed over the control of the Wu family to him Wu Wu."

"It's also lucky, Wu Wu didn't succeed, but Tumen was suppressed first, after all, it was an illegal means."

"Therefore, it also created the later situation, Wu Wu and I were in the Wu family, and we were basically fighting against each other. Later, I joined the Shenlong Society in order to investigate what happened to my father, Wu Zongtang."

Wu mentioned that his father suddenly left a letter and disappeared.

Wu Province joined the Divine Dragon Society in order to investigate his father's affairs, so he must have investigated that the reason for his father's disappearance was related to the Divine Dragon Society.

At this point, Lin Feng also knew almost the truth about the Warring States Dragon Pattern.

The complex in Wu Xing's heart is his father.

And the complex in Lin Feng's heart is his parents, and the direction of the two people's investigation overlaps to a great extent.

So.

This cooperation is the most suitable for Lin Feng and Wu Province.

Lin Feng's previous auction of the Warring States Dragon Pattern Crystal Cup was to lead to this situation, and now, this situation has really appeared, which is what Lin Feng hopes to see the most.

Lin Feng spoke again.

"Those two pieces of Warring States Dragon Pattern Jade are your father's relics, and when I return to Jinling, I will personally return him to you."

"I won't take any of the transfer price we agreed on before."

What else does Wu want to say.

Lin Feng said.

"Master Wu, you and I are the same, we are not people who are short of money."

"We're not too different in age, but we're friends."
