After chatting for a while about the two newly acquired courtyards, Ye Tian turned the topic off.
"Grandpa, the four treasures of the study you are using now are the best in Beijing. Even if they are placed in the country, they are one of the few in the country. How do you feel? Tell everyone about it!"
Hearing this, Grandpa's face immediately burst into a bright smile, and there was a faint feeling of pain.
"How do you feel? I really don't know! Those things are all rare treasures? How am I willing to use them! You guys have a big heart, don't take those treasures seriously!
Fortunately, Xu Wei's Duan Inkstone, as long as it is not bumped or touched and used carefully, there is no need to worry about wastage. It can be stored for a long time. The longer the time, the more valuable it will be.
Although ‘Dai Yuexuan’’s top-quality lake pen is a consumable item, it can be used for a long time. Even if it is used up, you can buy another set, although the expensive one is a bit outrageous!
The situation of Jiajing Gongmo is different from those of top rice paper. Those treasures are all disposable consumables, and they are completely gone after they are used.
As long as these treasures are placed in the study room or 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 they all laughed and nodded in sympathy.
In the laughter, the second uncle said with emotion:
"Yes! The tribute ink and top rice paper worth hundreds of thousands of RMB, even the top calligraphers and painters in the country, are certainly not so luxurious, and they are willing to practice calligraphy with these treasures!"
"This is where it's going! Grandpa, if you open it up and use it, I'll use up these tribute inks. I will buy you a better one. Next time, it might be Ting Si ink!
This is especially true for rice paper. Didn’t I give you a VIP card! When you run out of paper, go to Rongbaozhai to mention it. I have stored a lot in Rongbaozhai, all of which are top quality rice paper! Enough for you to use for a while!
These things are very valuable and very rare! But they are created to be used by people, not in the study room. If that happens, they will lose the value of existence! "
Ye Tian said lightly, obviously not taking those babies too seriously.
Grandpa was reluctant to use these top-quality four treasures of the study, as early as Ye Tian had expected, he was not surprised at all!
The reason is that Grandpa has never seen these treasures before, let alone practice calligraphy!
To him, these are all legendary treasures, and they are beyond expectation!
Now that he has these treasures, of course he is reluctant to use them. He can't wait to put them on the desk and look at them every day to be satisfied!
When the days are long, he gradually gets used to the existence of these things, and he probably doesn't cherish that much, and occasionally uses these treasures instead of continuing to provide them.
"I would like to visit Rongbaozhai often. There are indeed a lot of good things there, but if you pick up paper to practice calligraphy, forget it! Let those top rice papers continue to exist in Rongbaozhai! That's great!"
Grandpa shook his head slightly, still reluctant to bear the top rice paper.
"Be happy with you! Okay, let's not talk about the rice paper. Let me show you another baby, dad, second uncle, little uncle, you can also take a look, everyone has a share!"
With that, Ye Tian got up and walked aside, took out a few boxes from his bag, and walked back to the coffee table again.
Here are a few mahogany seal boxes, with red sandalwood, huanghuali, and wenge wood! He was small in size and exquisite in workmanship. He bought it when he left Rongbaozhai before, and it came in handy today.
"Xiaotian, what baby did you find again? Isn't this a seal box! It seems to be made of mahogany, and it looks very good. It doesn't contain all seals, right?"
The little uncle asked curiously, with some expectation in his eyes.
"Yes! These boxes are filled with seals, I believe it will surprise you all"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded in response, and then began to distribute seals, pushing several mahogany boxes to the elders.
"Grandpa, this is yours; Dad, this is yours; second uncle and little uncle, there are two of you, one for each. Before opening the seal box, I have to remind you to sit firmly and support yourself! Don't be scared. !"
"Huh! What seal is in the box? As for this!"
The second uncle smiled and said, then he picked up the seal box on the coffee table and pulled out the sliding cover on it.
In the next moment, the second uncle was completely stupid. His eyes were fixed on the seal in the box. He couldn't look away at all, and he couldn't bear to look away!
"hiss--!"
There was a sound of inhaling air-conditioning from grandpa and dad.
They did not open the seal box in their respective hands, but saw the seal in the seal box in the hands of the second uncle, and they were immediately shocked.
"Xiaotian, this won't be the Tianhuangshi seal? I have seen the famous Qianlong Tianhuang three-chain seal in the Forbidden City. The color is almost exactly the same as this one, and it is very expensive!"
The little uncle asked excitedly, her voice trembling a little.
"Yes! This is the Tianhuang seal, and it is the top Tianhuang frozen stone seal. It is invaluable and extremely rare! That's why I let you sit down and support! The result still scared you!"
Ye Tian nodded in response and gave an affirmative answer, smiling very happily.
"Tian Huang frozen stone! I heard that right! That is the king of the stone!"
Grandpa exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement, making people a little worried.
"Xiaotian, you must not tell us that each seal box contains a Fang Tianhuang frozen stone seal, that is too crazy!"
"That's right! Little uncle, each box contains a Tianhuang frozen stone seal, but the size is different, and the shape is different. The one in Grandpa's hand is the largest and most powerful!"
"It is actually the top Tianhuang frozen stone seal, I can hardly even think about it! There are not many places in Beijing! Even if there is, I am afraid it is all in the Forbidden City!"
Grandpa sighed with excitement, and at the same time gently opened the red sandalwood box in his hand, moving very carefully, his hands trembling slightly.
Dad and my little uncle did the same, forcibly calming down their excitement, then opened the box in their hands expectantly and looked at the seal inside the box.
Just as Ye Tian said, in the box in each of them, there is a top-notch Tianhuang frozen stone seal, large or small, like blocks of solidified honey, moist and intoxicating!
The moment the box was opened, the minds of the grandfather, dad, and little uncle were completely attracted by the small seals in front of each other, and they behaved exactly like the second uncle, with obsessed faces!
Next, the living room was completely overwhelmed by the sound of admiration one after another, and the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.
The elders were all in a state of obsession, holding their own Tianhuang frozen stone seals, and admiring them carefully there, there was nothing else in their eyes.
The only exception in the living room is Ye Tian. While drinking the fragrance of Longjing, he smiled and looked at the elders in front of him, and did not disturb him.
After a long time, Grandpa and the others woke up one after another from their obsession, one by one still playing with the seals in their hands, they couldn't put it down!
"Xiaotian, why are these seals all plain stamps? There are neither patterns nor names on them. Is it possible that they were just cut out?"
"Yeah! I feel that this is also a freshly cut seal. The polishing in some places seems not to be very good! And there are so many squares at once, it's incredible!"
The elders all looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to hearing his answer.
"Yes! These Tianhuang frozen stone seals were indeed just cut out! And I cut it by myself. The location is in Nanfang. There is a calcite 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 it roughly, not meticulously, just what you see now! "
Ye Tian nodded with a light smile and gave an affirmative answer.
"Oh! It turns out that your kid stayed in the South Room yesterday afternoon, just tinkering with these darlings! You also pretended to be mysterious and didn't let us in!"
Grandpa said suddenly, eyes full of joy.
Those who like calligraphy, who doesn't want to have a good quality personal seal? Naturally, grandpa can't be immune!
Not only him, as long as people need to use the seal in life, who doesn't want to have a personal seal? No exception!
"Ah! You kid cut it yourself! Where did you get Detian Huangshi? This top-grade Tianhuangshi is very rare, right? All good things let your kid catch up!
And your kid is too courageous, this kind of priceless treasure, dare to do it yourself, what if everything goes wrong? The loss is huge! "
The second uncle asked curiously, and at the same time he kept playing with the Tianhuang seal in his hand, he was not willing to put it down.
"This field of yellowstone was a few days ago when I went to Rongbaozhai to buy rice paper, and came across it by chance. It was a gambling stone from Mongolia, the famous crow skin yellowstone.
I checked the gambling stone carefully and found that its shell performed very well. It was very possible to cut the top tianhuang, so I bought the gambling stone for 3.2 million yuan.
as predicted! The result did not disappoint me. Not only did I cut out Tianhuang from the inside, but also the top-class Tianhuang frozen stone, a priceless treasure that can be met but not sought! "
Ye Tian explained the origin of these Tianhuang frozen stone seals, his tone and expression were quite triumphant.
"Ah! 3.2 million yuan to buy a gambling stone! Your boy has hairy edges! What should I do if I cut it? So much money will be lost!"
Dad exclaimed and his eyes stood up.
Obviously, the word gambling on rocks is a bit sensitive, making him think too much.
"Don't worry! Dad! I have a root in my heart. I will only shoot if I see it right. If the skin of the Tianhuang gambling stone is very poor and it is not worth the shot, then I don't want to give it to me, I am too heavy!"
Ye Tian hurriedly explained a few words, lest his father run away.
Hearing this explanation, Dad's expression suddenly became much easier.
The fact is right in front of him, and he can't help but believe that his son is indeed targeted! Not a crazy gambler!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The reason why I bought a calcite machine and went home to cut this piece of Tianhuangshi without using someone else's hands was that I didn't want others to know the existence of this top-level Tianhuang! That would not do any good!
Because I don’t want to sell this top-grade Tianhuang frozen stone at all, and I don’t want to sell these top-grade seals, but I plan to keep them all for our own family members!
Of course, the best things must be left to my family. In addition to the seal function, these Tianhuang frozen stone seals can also be used as family heirlooms of our families and passed on! "
"Yes! This kind of treasure is better not to be made public, it is too easy to make people jealous! It is indeed a very good choice to use the top Tianhuangshi seal as an heirloom!"
Grandpa nodded with relief and said, affirming Ye Tian's actions.
Not to mention the rest of the elders, nodding their heads one by one, there is no slight difference in opinion.
"As for the risk of cutting your own stone, you can rest assured, my hands are steady! The level of stone cutting is by no means worse than anyone, including those top carving masters.
There is another point that I am quite sure that no one knows the Tianhuang gambling stone better than I, and understands where the knife is the most reasonable and how to choose, so there is no artificial hand.
These Tianhuang frozen stone seals are all plain seals. You will keep them separately. If you want to carve someday and turn this treasure into a real private seal, you must tell me.
For such top-quality treasures, you must not just find a carver to carve. That will greatly depreciate the value of these top-tier Tianhuang frozen stones, and may even be absconded by people.
Only the top thin sculpture masters in the antique industry and the most outstanding masters of inscription and seal carving are qualified to master these treasures, display their talents on these treasures, and add color to them! "
"It's true! The top materials should be matched with the top design and the most outstanding craftsmanship. That's how they complement each other!"
"By the way! Xiaotian, can you talk about the value of these seals? It must be a sky-high price, right?"
"Of course, the seal in Grandpa's hand is the largest and most imposing. Its market value should be between two thousand and twenty-five million yuan. It can be even higher after carving.
The seal in my dad's hands is the first, with a market value of about 15 million yuan; the two in the hands of my uncle and uncle are between 800 and 12 million yuan! "
Ye Tian smiled and quoted the price, with a relaxed and relaxed expression.
The others were not so relaxed anymore. Hearing the price he quoted, several elders were shocked immediately and froze right there!
Immediately afterwards, this small living room was completely boiling!
