Treasure Hunt all over the World

After chatting for a while about the two newly acquired courtyard houses, Ye Tian changed the subject.

"Grandpa, the Four Treasures of Study you are using now are the best in Beijing, even if they are placed in the whole country, there are only a handful of them. How do you feel? Tell everyone!"

Hearing this, Grandpa's face immediately burst into a bright smile, and he also felt a little pain in his flesh.

"How does it feel? I really don't know! Those things are all rare treasures? I'm not willing to use them! You're the only one who has a big heart and doesn't take those treasures seriously!

Fortunately, Xu Wei's Duan inkstone is good, as long as it is not knocked or touched, and used carefully, there is no need to worry about wear and tear at all. It can be preserved for a long time, and the longer it is, the more valuable it is.

Although the top lake pens of ‘Dai Yuexuan’ are consumables, they can be used for a long time. Even if they are worn out, you can buy another set, although they are a bit ridiculously expensive!

The situation of Jiajing Gongmo and those top-level rice papers is different. Those treasures are all disposable consumables, and they are completely gone after being used.

As long as these treasures are placed in the study, placed on the desk, and I can take a look at them from time to time, I will be satisfied. Use them to practice calligraphy? I really can't do it! "

"Hahaha!"

Dad and the others all laughed and nodded in sympathy.

Amidst the laughter, the second uncle said with emotion:

"That's right! The tribute ink and top-grade rice paper worth hundreds of thousands of RMB, even the top calligraphers and painters in China, are certainly not so extravagant, and they are willing to use these treasures to practice calligraphy!"

"Where is this! Grandpa, you are open to using it. These tribute inks are used up. I will buy you a better one. The next time you are in front of you, maybe it is Tingsi ink!

Rice paper is even more so, didn't I give you a VIP card! When you run out of paper, you can go to Rongbaozhai to pick it up. I have a lot of rice paper in Rongbaozhai, all of which are top-notch rice paper! Enough for you to use for a while!

Although these things are expensive, they are very rare! But they are made to be used by people, not placed in the study for offering. If so, they will lose the value of existence! "

Ye Tian said lightly, obviously he didn't take those treasures too seriously.

Grandpa was reluctant to use these top-quality Four Treasures of the Study, as Ye Tian had expected, he was not surprised at all!

The reason,

It's because grandpa has never seen these treasures before, let alone used them to practice calligraphy!

For him, these are treasures in legends, which are beyond reach!

Now that he has these treasures, he is of course reluctant to use them. He wishes he could keep them on his desk, and be satisfied by looking at them every day!

After a long time, he gradually got used to the existence of these things, and he probably didn't cherish them so much, and would use these treasures occasionally instead of continuing to offer them.

“I would like to go to Rongbaozhai often. There are indeed many good things there, but it’s better to forget about practicing calligraphy with paper! Let those top-quality rice paper continue to exist in Rongbaozhai! That’s very good!”

Grandpa shook his head lightly, still reluctant to part with those top rice papers.

"As you like! Well, let's not talk about those rice papers, let me show you another treasure, dad, second uncle, little uncle, you can take a look too, everyone has a share!"

After speaking, Ye Tian got up and walked aside, took out a few boxes from his bag, and walked back to the coffee table.

These are several mahogany seal boxes, including red sandalwood, huanghuali, and chicken wing wood! It is small in size and exquisite in workmanship. It was bought when he left Rongbaozhai, and it just came in handy today.

"Xiaotian, did you find any treasure again? Isn't this a seal box! It seems to be made of mahogany, and it looks very good. Doesn't it contain seals?"

The little uncle asked curiously, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"That's right! These boxes are full of seals, I believe it will surprise you."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded in response, and then began to distribute the seals, pushing several mahogany boxes in front of several elders.

"Grandpa, this is yours; Dad, this is yours; second uncle and little uncle, you two also have one, one for each of you, before opening the seal box, I want to remind you, sit tight and support yourself! Don't be scared !"

"Hey! What kind of seal is in the box? As for this!"

The second uncle said with a smile, then picked up the seal box on the coffee table, and opened the sliding cover on it.

In the next moment, the second uncle was completely dumbfounded. He stared straight at the seal in the box. He couldn't look away, and he couldn't bear to look away!

"hiss--!"

There was a gasping sound at the scene, from grandpa and dad.

They didn't open the seal boxes in their respective hands, but they were stunned when they saw the seal in the seal box in the second uncle's hand.

"Xiao Tian, ​​this is not the seal of Tian Huangshi, is it? I have seen the famous Qianlong Tian Huang three chain seal in the Forbidden City. The color and luster is almost exactly the same as this one, and it is very luxurious!"

The little uncle asked excitedly, his voice trembling a little.

"That's right! This is the Tianhuang seal, and it's the top Tianhuang steatite seal. It's priceless and extremely rare! That's why I told you to sit still! It still scared you!"

Ye Tian nodded in response, gave an affirmative answer, and smiled very happily.

"Tianhuang Dongshi! I heard that right! That's the king of stones!"

Grandpa exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement, which made people a little worried.

"Xiaotian, please don't tell us that every seal box contains a Tianhuang steatite seal, that's too crazy!"

"Guess is right! Uncle, there is a Tianhuang frozen stone seal in each box, but the size is different, and the shape is also different. The one in Grandpa's hand is the largest and the most imposing!"

"It's actually the top Tianhuang frozen stone seal, I can't even think about it! There are only a few square meters in Beijing! Even if there are, I'm afraid they are all in the Forbidden City!"

Grandpa sighed with excitement, and at the same time gently opened the red sandalwood box in his hand, his movements were very careful, his hands were trembling slightly.

The same goes for the father and the little uncle, who forcibly calmed down their excitement, and then opened the box in their hands with full expectation, and looked at the seal inside the box.

As Ye Tian said, in the box in each of them's hands, there is a top Tianhuang steatite seal, big or small, like pieces of solidified honey, extremely moist and intoxicating!

The moment the box was opened, the minds of the grandfather, father, and uncle were completely attracted by the small seal in front of their eyes, and they behaved exactly like the second uncle, full of obsession!

Next, the living room was completely overwhelmed by the sound of admiration one after another, and the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.

Several elders fell into a state of obsession, holding their own Tianhuang steatite seals, admiring them carefully, and seeing nothing else in their eyes.

Ye Tian was the only exception in the living room. While drinking the fragrant Longjing, he looked at the elders in front of him with a smile and did not disturb them.

After a long time, Grandpa and the others just woke up one after another from their obsession, each of them still playing with the seals in their hands, and they couldn't put it down!

"Xiaotian, why are these seals plain? There are no patterns engraved on them, and no names of people are engraved on them. Could it be that they were just cut out?"

"Yeah! I feel that this is also a seal that has just been cut out, and the polishing in some places seems to be not in place! And there are so many squares at one time, it's unbelievable!"

The elders all looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting to hear his answer.

"That's right! These Tianhuang steatite seals were indeed just cut out! And I cut them myself. The place is in the south room. There is a stone dissolving machine there, which I bought yesterday!

Because the time is relatively short and the equipment is not complete, after cutting these Tianhuangshi seals, I only polished them roughly, not meticulously, which is what you see now! "

Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

"Oh! It turns out that you stayed in the south room yesterday afternoon just to tinker with these treasures! You still pretended to be mysterious and didn't let us in!"

Grandpa suddenly said, eyes full of joy.

People who like calligraphy, who doesn't want to have a private seal with high quality? Grandpa is naturally not exempt!

Not only him, as long as people who need to use seals in their lives, who doesn't want to have a decent seal? No exception!

"Ah! You cut it yourself! Where did you get the Tian Huangshi? This kind of top Tian Huangshi is very rare, right? Good thing you caught up with it!

And you're so brave, you dare to cut this priceless treasure by yourself, what if everything breaks? That's a huge loss! "

The second uncle asked curiously, and at the same time kept playing with the Tianhuang seal in his hand, not willing to let it go at all.

"This piece of Tianhuang stone was a few days ago when I went to Rongbaozhai to buy rice paper. I came across it by chance. It is a whole Mongolian gambling stone, and it is the famous crow skin Tianhuang stone.

I checked the gambling stone carefully, and found that its shell was very good, and it was very likely to cut out top-quality Tianhuang, so I bought the gambling stone for 3.2 million yuan.

as expected! The result did not disappoint me. Not only did I cut Tianhuang from the inside, but it was the top Tianhuang steatite, a priceless treasure that can be met but not sought after! "

Ye Tian explained the origin of these Tianhuang frozen stone seals, his tone and expression were quite smug.

"Ah! 3.2 million yuan to buy a gambling stone! You brat has grown hair! What if you want to cut it off? Wouldn't that money be wasted!"

Dad exclaimed and his eyes stood up.

Obviously, the word gambling with stones is a bit sensitive, which made him think too much.

"Don't worry! Dad! I have roots in my heart, and I will only shoot when I see it. If the shell of that Tianhuang gambling stone is in poor condition and it's not worth selling, then I don't want it for nothing. I still think it's too heavy!"

Ye Tian hurriedly explained a few words to prevent his father from going berserk.

Hearing this explanation, Dad's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

The facts were right in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe that his son was indeed on target! Not a crazy gambler!

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"The reason why I bought a stone dissolving machine and cut this piece of Tianhuang stone myself at home instead of using others is because I don't want other people to know the existence of this top Tianhuang stone! That is not beneficial!

Because I don't want to sell this top Tianhuang steatite at all, I don't want to sell these top seals, but I plan to keep them all for our own family to use!

Of course, the best things should be left to your family members. In addition to having the function of seals, these Tianhuang frozen stone seals can also be used as family heirlooms of our family and passed on! "

"That's right! It's better not to make this kind of treasure public, it's too easy to make people jealous! Using the top Tianhuangshi seal as a family heirloom is indeed a very good choice!"

Grandpa nodded in relief, affirming Ye Tian's actions.

Not to mention the rest of the elders, they nodded their heads one by one, so there was no slightest disagreement.

"As for the risk of cutting stones by yourself, don't worry, my hands are steady! The level of stone cutting is by no means inferior to anyone, including those top carving masters.

Another thing I am very sure of is that no one knows the Tianhuang gambling stone better than me, understands where to cut the knife is the most reasonable, and how to choose, so I didn't pretend to be someone else.

These Tianhuang frozen stone seals are all plain seals, you guys keep them separately, if one day you want to carve this treasure into a real private seal for one party, you must tell me.

For top-level treasures like this, you must not just find a sculptor to carve them. That will greatly depreciate the value of these top-level Tianhuang steatite, and may even be taken away by others.

Only the top Boyi carving masters and the most outstanding gold and stone seal carving masters in the antique industry are qualified to get started with these treasures, to display their talents on these treasures, and to add color to them! "

"Indeed! The top material should be matched with the top design and the most outstanding workmanship, that is called complementing each other!"

"By the way! Xiaotian, can you tell me the value of these seals? It must be a sky-high price?"

"Of course, the seal in Grandpa's hand is the largest and most imposing. The market value should be between 2,000 and 25 million yuan, and it can be even higher after carving.

The seal in my father's hand is the second largest, with a market value of about 15 million RMB; the two seals in the hands of my second uncle and uncle are between 800 and 12 million RMB! "

Ye Tian quoted the price with a chuckle, with a relaxed and relaxed expression.

Others were not so relaxed. Hearing the price he quoted, several elders were stunned and froze in place!

Immediately afterwards, this small living room was completely boiling!
