The destined person, Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village, carefully took out the jade seal wrapped in silk cloth and slowly placed it on the table.
The jade seal touched the table, making a crisp sound like the collision of metal and stone.
After An Rugu took a quick glance, she never looked away and stared at the jade seal intently.
The length, width and height of this jade seal are all four inches, and there are eight insect and bird seal characters faintly visible on the front.
"Please bring this jade seal closer."
"Oh, okay." Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village held up the jade seal through the silk cloth and put it close to the camera. In order to let the other party see it more clearly, he adjusted the position of the jade seal from time to time.
He asked anxiously: "How is it, did you see it clearly?"
"I see clearly."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village quickly put down the jade seal. The seal was very heavy, and his hands were a little tired after holding it for so long. He said curiously, "Master, there are eight words on the front of the seal. I have always been curious about what they are. Can you understand them?"
[This is a mess, I can't understand it at all, this must be a language from aliens. (Lighthouse Country)
[This kind of writing is somewhat similar to the writing of our country. Could this treasure be from our country? (Kimchi Country)
[Although I don't understand it, I know it's seal script! The guy above is really shameless! ]
[Host: Do hosts need to understand seal script these days? I think you are trying to embarrass me, Fat Tiger!]
Everyone felt that An Rugu was unrecognizable.
Unexpectedly, she slowly said: "These eight words are, Received the Mandate from Heaven, Long Lived and Prospered. It means that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, appointed by Heaven. Since Heaven has bestowed supreme authority, it must make the country prosperous forever and never decline."
Many viewers in the live broadcast room who are more familiar with traditional culture felt a little nervous. Why do these eight words sound so familiar?
No way, no way? It's not what they think, right?
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village felt that the words sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where they came from. He hesitated and said, "This sentence seems to be related to Qin Shi Huang. I also remember there was something called He's Jade. I have forgotten the specific relationship."
Many foreign viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned and confused, and asked questions one after another.
At most, they know about Qin Shi Huang, but know little about the He Shi Bi.
Seeing this, An Rugu explained: "The story of the Heshi Bi is a long one. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a Chu man found a piece of unpolished jade while cutting wood in Jingshan, Hubei Province. He went to the then King Li of Chu to present the treasure.
The king asked someone to identify it, and the person who identified it thought it was an ordinary stone. The king was very angry, so he chopped off the left kneecap of the Chu man.
"Afterwards, King Wu of Chu ascended the throne. This Chu man, who had already been tortured, was still unwilling to give up and took the uncut jade to offer as a treasure. However, it was considered an ordinary stone and his right kneecap was chopped off again."
"Afterwards, King Wen of Chu ascended the throne. The man held the jade and cried to the sky. King Wen of Chu found out about it, so he sent someone to ask him why he was crying. The man said that he was crying because the jade had not been recognized by anyone."
"King Wen of Chu asked someone to open the jade stone, and found a peerless jade, which was called the Heshi Bi and became the national treasure of Chu."
"Later, Chu proposed marriage to Zhao, and the Heshi Bi became Zhao's national treasure."
"At the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin State was becoming increasingly powerful. The King of Qin wanted to obtain the Heshi Bi very much and was willing to exchange it for a city. The Zhao State was in a dilemma, fearing that the other party would not be trustworthy and would not get the city but lose the treasure. But it did not dare to refuse, fearing that the other party would send troops to attack."
"Lin Xiangru of Zhao State used his wit and courage to resolve the other party's conspiracy, without leaving any evidence, and brought the Heshi Bi back to Zhao State."
"This is the idiom story of our country - returning the jade intact to Zhao."
"Of course, when Qin Shi Huang unified the country, no matter what the Zhao people thought, the Heshi Bi eventually fell into the hands of the Qin people."
"In short, the Heshi Bi witnessed the most exciting period of history. If it still existed, it would definitely be a national treasure among national treasures."
Many viewers in the live broadcast room were moved.
【During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other. Economic, political, cultural and ideological ideas influenced the course of history. It was indeed a glorious era.】
[The most miserable is the Chu people. 】
[Wait! Why did the host suddenly mention the Heshi Bi? Could this be the Heshi Bi? My history grades are not very good, I am confused.]
At this time, an emperor in the live broadcast room [Shengyuan Qian] said: [I will continue to speak for the master. Later, Qin Shihuang found Li Si and asked him to write these eight words in small seal script, and then asked the jade master to carve them on the Heshi Bi. From then on, it was no longer called the Heshi Bi, but the Imperial Seal! ]
An Rugu nodded slightly when he saw what the No. 1 on the list said: "You are right."
"Since the Qin Dynasty, successive emperors have regarded obtaining the imperial seal as orthodoxy. The Qin, Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties... The imperial seal has been passed down through Chinese history for 1,500 years. In a sense, it is a well-deserved top national treasure."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village: "???"
Audience in the live broadcast room: "???"
[Oh my god, the imperial seal, I am not sleepy anymore when you talk about this, it is said that this may be the most precious cultural relic.]
[My professor once said that the imperial seal is worth 10 billion just from the materials alone.]
[That's not right. Why do I remember that Hetian jade is a lustrous white color? ]
Shengyuanqian: [My family is in this field, let me tell you about it. Hetian white jade is indeed the best. Although the Heshi Bi is Hetian jade, it is not white jade. Tao Zongyi of the Yuan Dynasty once recorded: The color of the imperial seal is green and dark, and it is dazzling. Later generations speculated that the Bi in the Heshi Bi is the Bi. 】
He was also very excited and added: "There are many fakes on the market now for people to have fun with. If it is real, we can negotiate the price. Money is not a problem."
The Imperial Seal may be the most precious cultural relic in the country. It is not an exaggeration to call it the king of cultural relics. The materials alone may cost 10 billion, not to mention its cultural significance.
The big shot in the live broadcast room opened his mouth to stop, shocking everyone.
Immediately afterwards, many people said that if it was true, they would collect it.
[WTF, a rich guy shows up!!!]
[Wang Fugui, this thing is fake, smash it quickly! ]
[The real punishment upstairs is rewarded with a pair of silver handcuffs. 】
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
The host is saying that what he has in his hand is the Imperial Seal?!
If this is true, then their family is rich. Nothing like the "Lanting Preface" and the Nine Dragon Cup can compare to the Imperial Seal!
"Then why did my parents casually say that it was something from the Song Dynasty?"
An Rugu pondered for a moment: "Its life was full of ups and downs, and there are many theories about its whereabouts. One mainstream theory is that during the Jingkang Incident of the Song Dynasty, this imperial seal accompanied Song Huizong and Song Qinzong to the north by the Jin Kingdom. Later, it was brought back by the prince Zhao Gou. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the little emperor, and also took the seal with him. So this seal is likely to have fallen into the sea."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village was so excited that his face turned red like a tomato, and he understood what she meant.
So this is not a treasure from the Song Dynasty. It is very likely something picked up by their ancestors during the Song Dynasty!
"Our ancestors are so awesome!"
Sheng Yuanqian was very enthusiastic: "Can you turn this jade seal again? It is said that the Heshi Bi is emerald green when viewed from the side, white when viewed from the front, and can shine brightly in the dark. There is also light flowing when it is turned."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village hurriedly turned the jade seal around, and sure enough, white and green colors alternated, and the light flowed.
The audience was a little dazed for a moment. Although they didn’t understand jade, they all saw the beauty of the top-quality jade!
Shengyuan Qian was overjoyed: [Many details of the appearance of this jade stone correspond to those in ancient books, and it is completely different from the fake products on the market. Leave me a contact number and I will bring an expert to you immediately! ]
Ninety-nine percent of this top-quality jade is the imperial seal!
Even if it's not, it's worth collecting.
However, Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village did not want to sell it. He quickly stuffed the jade seal back into the box and said with a smile: "We'll talk about this later. I can't make up my mind by myself. Let's talk about it after my parents come back."
He was not afraid that the government would come to take the national treasure. This was something left by his ancestors, and the experts could only suggest that he hand it over to the country, but they could not forcibly take the national treasure away. This thing belonged to their family!
Once the imperial seal is revealed, his small antique shop will become famous both at home and abroad!
Sheng Yuanqian and a group of bigwigs in the live broadcast room refused to give up and ran to the backstage to leave him their contact information.
The audience in the live broadcast room were very jealous and kept typing the word "fake" in large letters, refusing to believe that this thing was real.
At this time, An Rugu changed the subject: "I just said that this thing looks like the imperial seal. As for whether it is real or not, I can only tell you that it is not real."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village: "????"
Audience in the live broadcast room: "???"
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village froze with a smile on his face: "Why isn't it true? People say it's very likely to be true."
He said bluntly: "You are not an expert in appraisal."
"You are right, but I have a special method of identification."
An Rugu said slowly: "You also know that the imperial seal is used by the emperor and contains a lot of dragon energy. But there is no dragon energy on this seal. Let alone the Qin Dynasty's seal, it is not a seal from any dynasty."
【Hahahahahaha the anchor is so mean. 】
【Master: Your jade seal is nothing! 】
[It’s a fake, hahahaha! The smile on the destined person’s face shifted to mine. ]
The audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed how cool it was.
This destined person likes to brag.
As a result, it blew up as it blew!
Wang Fugui, the destined person at the entrance of the village, turned pale and blue in the face. He glanced at the comments and saw that many people were laughing at him for bringing fake goods. He couldn't stand it at all.
If the news got out, wouldn't their family become a huge joke? Would the antique shop still have business in the future?
After hearing An Rugu's words, the few big guys who had been particularly enthusiastic before stopped talking. It seemed that they believed An Rugu's words.
He stood up angrily and racked his brains to save face for himself and his family: "What dragon spirit or not? We never have fakes in our antique shop!"
"After all, it's a royal seal. It's too precious. No one can have it. My parents just like it so much that they asked someone to make one for them. Anyway, my family is not short of money."
He wanted to clear his name and restore the antique shop's reputation: "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see other things in the antique shop. They're not fakes anyway!"
An Rugu didn't mind: "Okay."
He himself was in the antique shop, coming down from the upstairs bedroom and walking to the first floor.
The quaint first floor is filled with neatly arranged antiques, tea sets, porcelain, and ancient coins, exuding the air of being well-off.
He came to a counter and looked at the one his mother had bought from an auction house for millions.
"Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period, white glaze vase with animal face pattern, bought back for 1.5 million yuan."
"A Qing Dynasty Guangxu famille rose flower-patterned sacrificial-ear vase, bought this year for 850,000 yuan."
"Do you think this is real or fake? Don't be fooled by the small size of this antique shop. It has a lot of hidden secrets and not just any customer can come in."
He was a little arrogant. The imperial seal was so precious that it was normal for my parents to make a replica. These things couldn't be fake!
However, Sheng Yuanqian said: [I have a few at home, and they are very different from the ones in front of you. Which auction house did you buy them from? ]
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village was stunned for a moment, lost in memory: "I think his name is Mittler."
Finally, a big boss came out and said: [My auction house has not sold out Guangxu's items this year. ]
The destined person, Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village: "???"
He was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't help stamping his feet: "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. Anyway, my parents would not lie to me."
An Rugu seemed to see something, pointed at a porcelain bowl behind him and said, "What is that?"
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village quickly looked at the sign below and said, "Do you know Ru Kiln? It's the king of porcelain. It used to be a tribute. It's out of print now. It's the best of the best."
An Rugu thought, the Taoist temple also has a few Ru kiln tableware, which is completely different from this one: "I don't think so."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village was very angry. He picked up the bowl and showed it to the camera again and again: "How can it not be this? Look carefully! Don't slander someone's innocence with empty words. Even if it's an expert appraisal, they have to check it carefully on the spot before they can confirm it!"
He spun around, revealing the base.
A big sign “Microwave Oven Available” came into view of the audience in the live broadcast room.
Audience in the live broadcast room: "!!!"
[Shocked, a man asked someone to identify a Ru kiln porcelain bowl worth a fortune, and the expert said: This is a bowl for microwave ovens! ]
[I remember that the anchor went to a street stall to buy antiques. People said it was antique porcelain. I didn’t expect that it was written on the back of the Jingdezhen People’s Porcelain Factory. It’s a double-take. ]
[This is not an antique shop, this is a fake shop. There is not a single authentic item in the entire shop! ]
[What kind of hell joke is this? Do you want to make me laugh to death and then inherit my online loan? ]
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village didn't know what they were talking about. He looked at it carefully for a long time before turning the bowl over. He stared at the words "Microwave Oven Only" on it, his head buzzing.
This is not a Ru kiln! It is a microwave bowl!
He glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, which gradually fermented and spread towards dangerous places.
[It turns out that this rich second-generation family made their fortune by selling fake goods. How cruel! Brothers, call the police and make you and me happy.]
[I am here to save the customers who were cheated before. Don’t thank me, please call me Lei Feng. ]
His face was as pale as death, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Oh no, everyone was laughing at his store for selling fake goods!
He didn't care why his parents had never been troubled by customers. He just wanted everyone not to call the police. He immediately said, "I don't know why this happened. Maybe my parents were afraid of being stolen, so they put the samples on display."
"Wait, I remember, we have a warehouse at home. My parents locked it, but I know where the key is. I can take you to have a look. We really don't sell fake goods!"
The audience didn't believe it and even made up jokes.
【Su Su: As soon as Wang Fugui arrived at the live broadcast room, everyone started laughing and said, Wang Fugui, your family is selling fakes again to pretend to be rich! Wang Fugui's face turned red, and he said nonsense, how can the antique shop's things be called fakes, that's called selling samples! Then there were some difficult to understand words like "small fakes are not fakes", and the live broadcast room was filled with a happy atmosphere. 】
【I did not agree with Mr. Su's withdrawal from the literary world at that time.】
【Hahahaha, Kong Yiji's classic will be passed down forever. 】
Wang Fugui, who was at the entrance of the village, took a car to the manor in the suburbs, which was locked with fingerprints and passwords. His parents thought he didn't know the password, but he was actually very curious and secretly recorded the password by putting on the surveillance camera.
After he entered the password, he walked quickly inside.
The audience who were still teasing him in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. The interior of the villa could only be described with four words: jewels and gems.
There are countless elegant calligraphy and paintings, exquisite tea sets, and exquisite antiques. What is different is that these things are all placed in glass cabinets and are well preserved.
At first glance, it looks more upscale than an antique shop.
"There are eight warehouses in this place. This is the first one, and it mainly contains things from the Tang Dynasty."
“This is Tang Cai!”
He walked to a glass display case, inside of which was a porcelain vase with blue, green and white glaze that was gradually fading into the air.
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village turned to ask An Rugu, very anxiously: "Anchor, and the big boss in the live broadcast room, is this true?"
Because he had failed before, the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t believe him and kept posting the words “fake”.
An Rugu stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said something that confused the audience: "This Tang Cai is real."
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village suddenly felt that he had avenged his previous humiliation and felt extremely refreshed.
He came to a glass display case again, looked at the introduction sign below and said: "Tang Dynasty animal head agate cup."
Sheng Yuanqian was a little shocked, so he said that this thing was very exquisite, but he didn't dare to recognize it for a while: [It's impossible, this is a treasure that is forbidden to be exhibited abroad, and there is only one in the world. ]
An Rugu calculated for a moment, nodded and said: "Really."
She originally didn't want to calculate, she just wanted to use her knowledge to identify it, but she didn't expect that the development of the matter would exceed her expectations. This family might not be as simple as a fake family.
Her intuition told her that she had to use physiognomy.
Wang Fugui at the entrance of the village laughed loudly, then raised his hand and pointed at the calligraphy and painting on the wall: "The host has good taste. This is a calligraphy and painting by Wang Xizhi. I heard that there is no authentic work of Wang Xizhi in the world now. Who would have thought that I have one at home?
Master, do you think this is true?"
An Rugu stared at it for a long time, a little bit unbelieving, counting on his fingers, and then nodded: "It's true."
Live audience: "????"
[It is said that Li Shimin particularly liked Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Xu" and would use it as a pillow when sleeping. It should have been buried with him. How did it appear here? ]
[Wait, I have a bold idea, but I dare not say it. ]
[I suspect that the destined person will not get a silver bracelet, but peanuts. ]
