Inherit For Three Thousand Years

"Inheritance Three Thousand Years ()"

The eight wooden boxes were of different sizes, Xiao Yao opened the biggest box first.

After opening the box, the red, green and green emerald materials inside almost dazzled his eyes.

A total of 38 large and small emerald materials were placed in this box, the largest of which was slightly larger than a basketball, and the smallest was the size of an adult's fist.

The size of these jadeite materials is not worthy of admiration, but if this kind of material is still made of glass, and at the very least, the texture of ice, then it is worthy of everyone's envy.

What shocked Xiao Yao was that all the 38 emerald materials contained in this box were of a texture above ice, and what surprised him even more was that the colors were not bad. Among them, green jadeite has the largest number, and apple green is the worst color. Among them, there are 11 pieces that reach the color level of sun green, and there are even 6 pieces of jadeite with positive green color.

In addition to these 19 pieces of green jadeite, there are also 5 pieces of red jadeite, 4 pieces of yellow jadeite, 3 pieces of purple jadeite, and the other 7 pieces are colorful jadeite. Among the 7 pieces of colorful jadeite, there are 4 pieces of two-color jadeite with spring colors, two pieces of Fu Lu Shou three-color jadeite, and there is even a four-color jadeite of Fu Lu Shou Xi.

Each of these 7 pieces of colorful jadeite can be called a rare treasure. Today, when top-level jadeite resources are almost exhausted, any one of them can become the treasure of a large jewelry company.

Xiao Yao roughly estimated that the value of these emerald materials is about 9 billion. This is just the price of the material. Once it is processed into jewelry or carvings, the value will at least double.

Xiao Yao didn't expect that the first box he opened casually was the most valuable box of hidden treasures, which was a bit beyond his expectation. He also thought that the largest box just contained more things, and such a box would not be the most valuable most of the time.

He opened the second box at will.

All the contents in this box are Hetian jade seeds. These seed materials are all top-grade mutton fat jade of various colors, which is hard to find now.

Among them was a piece of material shaped like a longevity peach, Xiao Yao casually picked it up and looked at it.

The skin color of this piece of Hetian jade is a very high-quality natural polyred skin. The texture of the jade is extremely fine, and there is no structure when viewed with the naked eye under sunlight. He took out a flashlight to illuminate it. Under the strong light on the side of the flashlight, there is almost no structure, extremely pure, and no impurities.

This jade material has suet luster, thick and mature material, very soft to the senses, and has a strong moisturizing feeling, definitely reaching the level of suet-grade white jade.

What is particularly rare is that this material has a full shape and is a top-quality ornament type, which is a top-level raw material that does not require jade carving skills. In addition, the shape of the material resembles a longevity peach, which adds to the meaning of longevity than Nanshan. Uncut stones are uncut to form a scene, which is really a natural creation, which is amazing.

Xiao Yao has a lot of suet jade like this, but this is the only one whose natural shape resembles a birthday peach.

Even Xiao Yao cherishes such a rare treasure.

Because of the special shape, although this piece of seed material is not the largest or the best in texture, it is definitely the most valuable.

The price of the top-grade mutton jade is much lower than that of the top-grade jadeite, and the quantity is also small. The value of this box of Hetian jade seeds is about 700 to 800 million.

Just by opening these two boxes, Xiao Yao can already conclude that this batch of treasures should have been left by the jeweler known as the Jade King during the Republic of China. Otherwise, it would be impossible to collect so many jadeites and Hetian jade Ming material.

These few boxes of treasures are so plainly hidden that they seem very perfunctory. Obviously, they are only temporary. If they plan to bury them for a long time, at least a basement should be built. Maybe the jeweler had other plans, but unfortunately his player encountered an air crash, and the follow-up matter would naturally come to nothing.

He then wants to open the third box.

This is the smallest box, or it is more appropriate to call it a box. This box is actually filled with gems of all colors!

Xiao Yao quickly identified it,

The various gemstones here include: diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, cat's eyes, tourmalines, etc.

The price of this small box of various gemstones in the period of the Republic of China must have been more precious than the two boxes of jadeite and Hetian jade that were opened earlier, but after so many years, the jewelry market has changed too much, and the value of this box of gemstones has also increased a lot. , but not as fast as the value-added speed of top-grade emeralds.

The most precious of these gemstones are the 36 diamonds and 27 rubies. The combined value of these two is about 500 million yuan. But the value of the remaining gems is much lower, and the price of all the remaining gems will not exceed 300 million yuan.

Opening the fourth box, Xiao Yao's eyes were almost dazzled.

It's full of jewellery!

The types of these jewelry are extremely complete, including diamond jewelry, red sapphire jewelry, etc., of course, various jade jewelry and Hetian jade jewelry are indispensable.

Among these jewellery, a set of emerald and diamond jewellery, is the most precious.

This set of jewelry includes necklaces, rings and earrings, among which the necklace is the most expensive. This necklace consists of 9 glass imperial green eggs and a pendant with an oversized egg. In addition to the emerald egg, it is also inlaid with about 40 carats of transparent diamonds and about 20 carats of blue diamonds.

Among the various forms of jade jewelry, the quality of raw materials for the egg face is the highest, and the egg face should be as uniform in color and fine in texture as possible. It is even rarer if the color can reach the imperial green level and the texture can reach the glass kind.

The top-quality emerald egg noodles have uniform and rich emerald color, fine crystal particles, full, symmetrical, square and translucent shapes, and are smart and beautiful. The so-called "beautiful quality without cutting the big ones" is the best interpretation of the top-level uncarved egg noodles. The price of jadeite varies greatly. Even if it is the same imperial green glass variety, the price of jadeite varies greatly depending on whether the emerald color is uniform or not, the fineness of the crystal particles, etc.

It is not easy to create a top-quality jadeite egg, but it is even rarer to create a set of perfect jadeite necklaces.

And the set of jade jewelry that Xiao Yao is holding in his hands is just such a rare treasure with high quality and complete colors!

The necklace, ring, and pendant are inlaid with thirteen Laokeng glass-type emperor green jadeite eggs, especially the oversized pendant egg, which is extremely precious.

These carefully selected emerald eggs are crystal clear and have strong fluorescence. They are set off by more than 60 carats of transparent and blue diamonds, which complement the rare top-level emeralds in the world. Absolutely wonderful pushed to an extreme height.

Such a set of exquisite jade ornaments is enough to become the treasure of every jewelry company.

If you give an estimate, it should not be less than 500 million yuan!

Except for this set of the most precious emerald jewellery, the other jewelries are also of great value, and the price of any piece will not be less than 10 million.

The fifth box was opened by him, and all the Hetian jade ornaments were placed inside. There were 11 large and small ornaments in total.

These 11 ornaments are all masterpieces. There are two of them that Xiao Yao particularly likes.

One of them is "Hetian Yu Taishi Shaoshi Niu Seal".

Since the existence of seals, the printing materials have been made of relatively hard gold, silver, copper, rhino horn, ivory, bamboo, wood and other materials. The shapes of seals are also varied. With the changes of the times, the materials and carving methods is also changing.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, literati began to use Qingtian flower milk stone, which is fine and moist in texture and easy to be cut by knives, as printing materials to replace the hard and hard-to-engrav hard seals. Because it is liked by literati and inkmen, lithographic carving techniques have developed rapidly.

In the Ming Dynasty, various high-quality stone printing materials began to be discovered and widely used by people.

Due to the delicate texture of the stone, it is easy to be damaged by knives. After carving, it can produce richer artistic effects, and is favored by seal carvers. Many literati can carve by themselves to express their unique personality. Scholars with rich families can choose beautiful jade carvings, and those who are shy can also choose ordinary hard stones. Although the materials used are different, the style is the same.

Among the many printing materials, the texture of jade is relatively hard, and it has always been made by professional seal carvers. Therefore, jade seals are generally well-made and rigorous.

Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the appreciation and practicality of seals have achieved unprecedented development.

This jade seal was able to catch Xiao Yao's eyes at a glance, naturally because of its unique carving method and its superb artistic achievements.

This Taishi Shaoshi button seal is made of Xinjiang Hetian gold leather seed material, and its texture is moist and white, just like suet. The three-dimensional round sculpture of a reclining lion is entrenched, with a protruding spine and an upturned tail; a young lion is playing and climbing on one side, which is called a grand master and a young master.

The upper part of the chapter body is decorated with a week of regular "Hui"-shaped patterns, which are extremely finely carved. This seal is impeccable in terms of materials, construction methods, and metaphors. Among all the seals Xiao Yao has seen, its artistry is second to none.

"Taishi Shaoshi" is the title of official position in ancient times. There are three princes in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Taishi is the first. They are the teachers of the emperor and assist the emperor;

In the old days, the official title of Taishi and Shaoshi had reached the highest level, and he must be a master of knowledge at that time. This is the height of life that officials in the officialdom dream of.

If this Jade Seal of Grand Master and Young Master is given to someone in the officialdom, it is definitely the best gift. If it is put up for auction, it will inevitably be a scene of tens of thousands of people scrambling for it.

The top suet grade material, coupled with the top carving techniques, the value of this jade seal should be around 120 million.

In addition to this rare jade seal of the Taishi Shaoshi, there is also a white jade Guanyin ornament that is also favored by Xiao Yao.

This Avalokitesvara statue is made of suet-grade white jade seed material, with a warm and clean texture and a large body. The back is left with golden yellow leather, and the front is carved with Avalokitesvara.

Avalokitesvara has a full face, peaceful and tranquil, eyes slightly open, eyes drooping, ears close to forehead drooping, corners of mouth restrained, calm and dignified, high bun, and elegant accessories.

This Guanyin statue has a plump and soft body, plump and round arms, and a brocade belt on its shoulders, which is complicated and gorgeous.

The composition of the lower part of the work is even more solid, with bold freehand brushwork, simple carving of rocks, free and easy, open artistic conception, but at the same time freehand and realistic style.

The creator perfectly inherited the traditional realistic techniques in carving, highlighting the beauty of jade quality and craftsmanship. The golden leather on the back of the work is just right, fully reflecting the beauty of the original stone.

With the increasing scarcity of high-quality Hetian jade seed materials, this large, fine-quality jade, gorgeous skin color, and exquisite workmanship of Hetian jade seed material Guanyin is even more rare.

Because this Guanyin statue is made of larger materials, the price must be higher, and the price should be around 140 million.

The value of the other several white jade carvings is not so high, some use less materials, some have slightly lower artistic achievements, and their value is mostly between 10 million and 50 million.

After the sixth box was opened, all the items in it were jade jewelry.

Although this box is not big, and there are not many jade jewelry stored in it, its value is extremely high, second only to the value of the first box.

There are 46 pieces of emerald jewelry in this box, big and small. Among the 46 pieces of jade jewelry, jade bracelets account for the largest number, accounting for about half of the total.

Among the more than 20 jadeite bracelets, the lowest value is also ice green. Naturally, the most valuable jadeite bracelets are the jadeite bracelets made of glass species that are full of positive sun and green, and there are not one such bracelets, but three.
