Indulge in Life in America

While Yang Cheng was crying sorrowful, the half-open study door was knocked, Yang Cheng shouted in, Carson gently opened the door and walked in, holding a beautifully styled bronzing seal and A thick picture album book.

　　 "Master, it's a coincidence that before I went out to inquire about the news, Sotheby's people personally came to the door to send the invitation letter, and attached the list of the auction, including the introduction of the jade seal."

Yang Cheng sat up, stood up on the table, and took the two items that Carson handed over. I won’t say anything about the invitation letter. Apart from the elegant style, there was nothing worth talking about. He threw it on the table and took the picture album. I didn't mention that I turned to the end, and I saw the exquisite picture on the black background that occupied the whole night. It was a pink and white dragon-shaped jade seal. Turning the page, there are photos of the jade seal from various angles. Below is an introduction about the jade seal.

This jade seal is carved from a piece of natural pink jade. It belongs to the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in ancient Z. He is considered to be the longest reigning monarch in the history of Z. He still holds the highest power after abdicating. Under the emperor's 60-year rule, the wealth and national power of the country Z reached its peak, and its territory almost doubled. . .

Yang Cheng didn’t bother to look at the following introduction. After knowing that this jade seal belonged to Qianlong, his interest was not greatly diminished, but at least it was not as strong as before. It is probably because he has no good impressions of Qianlong. In other words, this product is a prodigal son, Kangxi and Yongzheng frugal for a lifetime of peace and prosperity, in the end all made Qianlong cheaper.

They all praised the prosperity of Kang and Qianlong, but the real achievements of Qianlong are simply pitiful. His biggest hobby is to spend money to buy fame. He is especially good at eating, drinking and playing. Let’s not talk about the expenses of three times in the south of the Yangtze River. The beautifully carved rockeries and jade stones cost more than a lifetime effort of skilled craftsmen.

　　 It can be said that Qianlong displayed the word luxury to the fullest in his life, and also lifted the ugliness of the feudal dynasty to a new height.

　　 In addition to personal senses, there is another reason Yang Cheng loses interest because there are too many jade seals in Qianlong's life.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, as a credible token and a symbol of management status, it was derived from the "Literature's Free Seal" in the Tang and Song Dynasties to express feelings. It has experienced nearly a thousand years of development. "To its extreme, well-documented historical records show that Qianlong's personal seal is as large as 1,800 pieces, of which only one-third is used for calligraphy and painting.

Of course, from the point of view of value, the more than 1,800 treasure seals engraved by Qianlong during his lifetime can be said to be priceless, but because of the British and French allied forces and the Eight-Power Allied forces entering the capital to looting, and flowing out of the palace in the late Qing Dynasty, they are currently lost There are about two to three hundred Qianlong seals that have gone to various parts of the world.

　　 The Guimei Museum in France once auctioned 10 Qianlong seals in Xiangjiang. These seals were all clearly recorded in the "Qianlong Baoxu", which was compiled during the Qianlong period and printed with the seals of the Qianlong imperial seal.

　　 Therefore, because of the large number of survivors, Qianlong jade seals sometimes appear in major auctions, and the price has never reached the highest price.

But the jade seal that Sotheby’s will auction now is the jade seal used by Qianlong to issue the imperial decree. The value is not comparable to those used for calligraphy and calligraphy. Yang Cheng rubbed his chin, secretly guessing this jade seal. Will sell at a high price.

　　 closed the album with a "pop", and said to Carson, "Recovering Forby, I will attend the auction on time tomorrow."

　　 Carson smiled, "Yes, sir, and when I just went upstairs, I ran through the auction list and found that there are many items worthy of our purchase."

　　 "Let's talk about it then~" Yang Cheng casually dealt with it, and asked Carson to leave.

　　 picked up his phone and dialed it to Emma Watson. He was not going to go to the auction alone.

　　 "Hello, dear, where are you now?" Yang Cheng couldn't wait to flatter as soon as the phone rang for a while.

　　As a result, there was an inexplicable voice on the other side, "Uh~Who are you?"

　　 Yang Cheng frowned, her tone becoming less polite, "Who are you? Isn't this Emma's phone number?"

　　 The voice opposite was a bit old, "I am Emma's mother. She is in the bathroom. Are you her boyfriend?"

　　 Yang Cheng's breathing was stagnant, this time it was good, it was an oolong, he just had a big brain, thinking Emma Watson was kidnapped.

　　 smiled wryly, "Hello Auntie, I am Emma's friend Jason Yang, please wait a while for her to come out and ask her to call me back, I have something to find her."

　　Who knows that Emma's mother is not going to let him go easily, "Wait and hang on, jason? What is the relationship between you and Emma?"

　　 Yang Cheng is speechless, has all the people Emma talked with before been questioned by her mother?

　　 If he didn't want to appear rude, he wanted to hang up directly, and coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "I am close friends with Emma~"

　　 Yang Cheng said very vaguely~www.wuxiaspot.com~ neither admitted nor denied, trying to get through.

　　 Fortunately, another familiar voice on the phone made Yang Cheng shout for help, "Whose call is it?"

　　 Emma’s mother’s voice is obviously weakened. It should be caused by holding the microphone. “A young man who calls himself jason said he is a close friend with you. I saw the phone ring for so long and helped you answer it.”

　　 There was another rustling sound, the phone should be exchanged to its real owner, "jason? It’s me~"

　　 Yang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, and complained, "Your mother is so strict with you?"

　　 Emma Watson smiled slyly, "It deserves it, who made you call suddenly, didn't you talk nonsense?"

Yang Cheng automatically ignored Emma's faint accusation that he was unkind, and the conversation turned, "Of course not. This is not important. What is important is that I am in the UK now. How about? Do you want to come to me? There will be a game tomorrow. At the auction, I still lack a female companion."

　　 Seeing that Yang Cheng was not on the bait, Emma's teeth were itchy, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, "Noay! No, I think of me when I'm missing someone. What did you do?"

"Don't, isn't this because I have been busy in Korea before. I came to the UK as soon as I have time?" Yang Cheng was also wronged. They are not boyfriends and girlfriends. Everyone is very clear about their relationship. PY has to Do you report the itinerary to each other?

"Huh~ then you can keep busy, anyway, I don't have time!" Emma also played a temper. All the beauties all over the world have their own little willfulness, Emma Watson is no exception, no more nonsense, directly I hung up the phone and gave Yang Cheng a pleasant busy tone!
