Happy Tycoon
Chapter 961: Heirloom Seal
Carl Morris walked into the main hall of the North House, and put the alloy password box in his hand on the table of the old sea yellow baxian worth millions of dollars, and Thor Smith and Sean Hannington hung it on the side. The key from the neck was taken out and placed on the table, Yang Jing also took out a key hanging around his neck, and then used the key to open the handcuffs on Carl Morris' wrist.
"Carl, you guys should withdraw first. Pay attention to the safety around you. Without my permission, no one can enter this house."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that even a fly won't fly in here!" Morris rubbed his wrist with a smile, and said as he walked out with the other two bodyguards, and closed the door after going out. .
"Xiao Jing, quickly open the box." Master Liu Lao rubbed his hands and said, and the other three masters were also a little impatient. At this time, they still don’t understand. Today, an apprentice brought them here. Seeing this house and the treasures are actually secondary. Yang Jing was already prepared and wanted to show the four of them. Yuxi, it's just that the four of them have been delayed for too long in those collections in the basement.
But at this time, the four of them couldn't care about complaining about the apprentice. All of their four thoughts were put in this small alloy password box.
This is the legendary Jade Seal!
Yang Jing nodded, grabbed the two keys on the table, inserted them into the two keyholes of the alloy password box, and then each turned three times, and an inaudible "click" sound came from the inside of the box. come out.
Yang Jing released the key and began to enter the password on the password lock of the password box. After he entered a series of electronic passwords of up to eleven digits on a small LCD screen, he turned six mechanical password numbers from another rotary password, and then this small-looking alloy password box was completely opened. .
Don't look down on this small alloy password box, but it weighs more than 20 kilograms. The outer layer is made of extremely hard high-temperature resistant special high-strength alloy mixed with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, which can withstand 3500 degrees. The high temperature, even if the main battle tank’s tracks are pressed up, the box will not be deformed.
Then the box has four sets of locks, and the box can only be opened by opening these four sets of locks in sequence!
This alloy lock box alone cost Yang Jing $160,000!
Under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, the box was opened, and the big seal of the Chilong Button with white and green on one side immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The room fell into silence again, and the only sound was the heavy breathing of seven people except Yang Jing.
After a long time, Guo Xiaoxiang said in a low voice, "Lao Yang, this is the legendary Jade Seal of the Kingdom? It doesn't seem to be great."
Although Guo Xiaoxiang's voice was small, it was thunderous in the quiet room. The master father Liu Lao gave Guo Xiaoxiang a fierce look, and then said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Xiaoxiang shrank his head and stuck out his tongue, not daring to squeak anymore.
The four masters almost unanimously took out white gloves, reading glasses and magnifying glasses from their pockets. The second master Xiao Lao said: "Xiao Jing, find a soft cushion. If there is no cushion, the bed quilt will be fine. . Spread it below and let's get started!"
Before Yang Jing moved, Peter Wu hurriedly opened the door and ran out. He couldn't tell that he was an old man who was over seventy years old.
After a while, Pete Wu walked in with a quilt, and then spread the quilt on the table of the Eight Immortals.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Huangbaxian table with a value of several million is nothing in the eyes of everyone. If this Fang Yuxi is really the Seal of the State, that table is considered P! Not to mention anything else, this legend can be placed on this table, I am afraid it is the blessing that this table has been repaired for hundreds of years.
Master Liu Lao was already fully dressed, he looked at the other three masters, and then solemnly said, "Should I get started first?"
The second master Xiao Lao said: "Lao Liu, you are proficient in bronze and jade. Let's get started first. Let's look at it first."
Mr. Liu nodded, and then cautiously cupped the Fang Chuan State Seal with both hands.
He straightened his arms and held the Seal of the Chuan with both hands and carefully looked at it from a distance for a while, before he held the Seal of the Chuan in front of his eyes and began to study it at close range.
"Well, yes, yes! This square jade seal is very consistent with what is recorded in the history books. The history books say that this jade seal is made of'the best blue field jade, it is white and slightly blue, and has a radius of four inches, which is approximately the same as the current one. 11.2 centimeters, Chi Niu, the seal is the eight characters Li Si wrote in fish and bird seals, "Being entrusted to the sky, and longevity, Yongchang". It was carefully researched and carved by Xianyang jade worker Sun Shou. Now it looks like this Fang Yuxi is in line with the historical records."
Liu Lao turned the Fang Yuxi slightly, and everyone's eyes fell on the corner filled with gold. Guo Lao on the side also said: "Historical records say,'Qin died, and the ruling of the State Seal must go to Liu Han. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, his relative, usurped power. Shiru Ziying was young, and the seal was hidden in the empress dowager of Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother Wang Shun to ask, and the empress rebuked him and threw the seal to the ground to break the corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to make up for it with gold. This is the source of the famous'golden inlaid jade seal'. Now it seems that this corner filled with gold is also in line with historical records."
Cai Yi leaned forward and pointed at Yu Xi's shoulder and said, "Old Liu, look at this official script with a magnifying glass."
Of course Mr. Liu understands what Cai Yi meant, but he didn't do it. Both of his hands were holding the Fang Yuxi. He didn't dare to let go of his hand and hold the Yuxi with one hand.
Xiao Lao quickly picked up the magnifying glass and placed it on Yu Xi's shoulder. The four gray-haired heads immediately moved up.
"'Da Wei Shou Han Chuan National Treasure', um, yes, it is official script, and it is the official script of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!" Second master Xiao is always a master of calligraphy, he can naturally see the font of the seven characters at a glance, and he can directly Identify the style of this era.
Although the official script originated in the Qin Dynasty, it was prosperous in the Han Dynasty, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the official script developed to the extreme. Therefore, the official script in the late Eastern Han Dynasty has an obvious style, which is not small compared with the official script of the Western Han and Qin Dynasty. the difference.
As one of the few calligraphers in China, Mr. Xiao naturally has a very clear understanding of the changes in official script. And in terms of his status and status, since he said that the seven characters on Fang Yuxi's shoulder were official scripts from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then this is almost the final answer.
Lao Liu is proficient in jade and bronze, and he can naturally see what jade is used for this Fang Yuxi. So he said: "The jade used for this Fang Yuxi is indeed the legendary best Lantian jade. Although Lantian jade is almost invisible now, I have seen two Lantian jade carved in Nanbo and Taibei Palace Museum. Decoration. I can conclude that the material used for this Fang Yuxi is Lantian jade."
Mr. Guo also nodded and said: "In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in the first year of Yankang, Emperor Xiandi Liu Xie was forced to'resign', Cao Pi established the Great Wei Dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of Huang Chu. However, Cao Pi was wrong in his country. The craftsman engraved the seven official characters on the shoulders of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, "Da Wei Shou Han Chuan Guo Treasure", which is really intended to be covered. Judging from the seven characters engraved on the jade seal, it is in line with the situation recorded in the history books."
Four old people with grey hair and nearly three hundred years old combined together. In the middle is the Fang Yuxi held by the hands of the master and father Liu Lao. This scene is a bit of joy.
However, the four masters have solemn faces, and their words are full of solemnity.
Liu Lao said: "From the perspective of the shape, materials, and fonts, this Fang Yuxi is almost the same as the Chuguo Yuxi recorded in the history books, and I look at this Fang Yuxi, it gives people a strong and square charm, the most important thing is. The carving technique of this Fang Yuxi is obviously the carving technique of Qin Dynasty. Although the carving technique of Han Badao in Han Dynasty was developed from the carving technique of Qin Dynasty, it also inherited the rough and generous style of Qin Dynasty carving. But the gap between the two is quite obvious, so I think this Fang Yuxi is most likely from the Qin Dynasty!"
Although Lao Liu didn't explicitly say that this was the Jade Seal of the Kingdom that Li Si ordered, but in the Qin Dynasty, who dared to carve such a jade seal at the risk of losing his head? And ordinary counterfeiters can't get this kind of superb Lantian jade. Therefore, Mr. Liu said this, which almost means that he thinks this Fang Yuxi is the Royal Seal.
Mr. Guo also nodded, but he did not comment, but he obviously agreed with Mr. Liu.
However, Cai Yi retorted: "Lao Liu, Lao Guo, this matter cannot be concluded so early. You must know that after the disappearance of the Royal Seal at the end of the Tang Dynasty, many emperors in later generations have imitated a lot of the Royal Seal. , And after all, it was copied by the royal family, maybe it can be used to transmit the seal of the state in a fake? So, I think it's better to conduct a carbon fourteen measurement before drawing a conclusion."
"Carbon fourteen? Just kidding! This is the Seal of the State, who would dare to take a sample from above?" Guo Lao threw out a sentence, and all four of them were silent.
Carbon fourteen identification is a very scientific identification method, but in the same way, if you want to conduct carbon fourteen identification, you must sample the items to be identified. It might be okay if there are other items, but this is a Chuanguo Yuxi, who would dare to sample on it? Who would dare to do such a thing even if it only takes a tiny bit?
They dared to take samples from any other treasures for carbon fourteen identification ~lightnovelpub.net~ But this rumored jade seal, to be honest, even the four of them didn't dare to move.
The significance of passing the jade seal of the country is too great! Except for the legendary Great Yu Jiuding, in the entire history of China for five thousand years, there is nothing more important than this Fang Chuanguo Yuxi!
Passing on the country’s jade seal is no longer as simple as a national treasure. The significance of this Fang Yuxi is simply immeasurable! Therefore, no one dared to do something on this.
Elder Xiao was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to ask Yang Jing, "Xiao Jing, have you cleaned this Fang Yuxi? Also, where did you find this Fang Yuxi?"
Hearing the question from the second master Xiao Lao, Yang Jing took a breath and said with a smile: "Four masters, I thought you had forgotten me!"
Master Liu gently put down Yuxi and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and talk about everything about this Fang Yuxi, don't miss it!"
Seeing the seriousness the master said, Yang Jing shrank his head, put away his playful mood, and began to solemnly tell the whole process of discovering this Fang Yuxi.
