"Of course you take a look..." Shi Yongwen was interrupted by Fu Song just as he was halfway through his words.
He smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet. Look at the side of the seal, are there any words?"
"Are there words?" Fang Jingxian was stunned.
The four sides of this seal are not as pure white as ordinary Hetian jade seals, but are engraved with four patterns.
The four patterns are swimming fish, flying geese, crescent moon and apricot blossoms.
Fang Jingxian looked at it for a while, her face full of confusion: "Where are the words?
Of course, these four pictures can be broken down into eight words: "so beautiful that fishes sink and geese fall, and the moon hides and flowers blush."
This also has a meaning.
"She is so beautiful that fishes can be submerged in water, geese can be fallen, and the moon can be ashamed of the flowers" represents the four great beauties.
"Sinking fish" refers to Xi Shi, "falling geese" refers to Wang Zhaojun, "closing the moon" refers to Diao Chan, and "shameful flowers" refers to Yang Yuhuan.
The ladies of the Ming Dynasty all liked to have these four pictures engraved on their private seals to prove their talent and beauty.

Fang Jingxian hadn’t thought about this before, so she didn’t think much of it.
Looking at it now, it is indeed four words.
Fang Jingxian whispered: "Qi, Tian, Gong, Ke!"
Fu Song looked at Shi Yongwen, his smile clear and meaningful: "If I'm not mistaken, this Qi Tiangong should be your royal carving master, right?
I have to criticize here. If you are faking it, be serious about it and don't leave loopholes intentionally just to show off.
What I hate most is this kind of people, who rely on their superior skills to wander around.
As a result, the Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front, and if you're not careful, you'll be beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind."
