Chapter 50 Seal: The Ancient Rare Treasure of the Son of Heaven
Yang Lili pushed the money to Song Wenjing again, and at the same time explained the reason why she did not accept the money.
But Song Wenjing knew very well that this was probably because Yang Shulin was unwilling to accept Song Wenjing's money, so he asked his daughter to send it back so eagerly. However, Yang Lili deliberately explained this way in order to comfort him.
From the words and expressions in the conversation just now, Song Wenjing could clearly feel Yang Shulin's resistance and contempt for him.
Faced with the money that Yang Lili handed over again, Song Wenjing did not refuse this time. Since Shang was rushing to give money to others, but they refused to accept it and were unwilling to accept his favor, then he did not have to be that lowly.
If it weren't for Yang Lili, why would he be so cowardly?
In Song Wenjing's view, in two or three years, when national policies are further relaxed, he will have been able to accumulate a part of capital, and he will be able to go big.
It was only two or three years. He could afford to wait. After all, there were still a few months left and he was only 19 years old.
Maybe in Yang Shulin's eyes, Song Wenjing is just a piece of mud. But he knows very well that he is walking on a high road. As long as he is given a certain amount of time to accumulate, he believes that he will not fall behind others.
"We collect old items, waste paper, old books, scrap iron, copper and aluminum!"
Life returned to calm again, and Song Wenjing did not follow other people's wishes and change his job to look like he had status. Instead, he continued to collect his own rags.
More than ten days passed, during which Song Wenjing visited Yang Shulin again, but he did not get a good look from the other party. He even compared Zhang Dong's family background with his, which was equivalent to insulting Song Wenjing in person.
No matter how generous Song Wenjing was, he could not bear such humiliation.
Immediately, he left without saying goodbye. Although Yang Lili caught up and apologized, she could not eliminate the anger in his heart.
The more you care, the angrier you tend to become. This was the case with Song Wenjing at that time.
Life had to go on. Song Wenjing paid back the money he borrowed from Zhou Ping, but he insisted on going out to collect rags every day. Even the occasional light rain could not stop his increasingly determined heart.
"Trash collector, when did you start collecting old items again? When I heard you call me before, it seemed like you were just collecting waste paper, scrap metal and the like. Why, your business is getting bigger now? Hahaha..."
In front of a tube building, an old man in his sixties, who was obviously familiar with Song Wenjing, asked half-jokingly and half-curiously.
"You have to support your family. As long as you can sell it and make money, it's good to make a little bit. Uncle, what's the matter, you have some good things in your family that you want to sell?" Song Wenjing stopped and chatted with the uncle.
The uncle did not pretend to be mysterious, but nodded, "I do have a good thing here, but I'm afraid you don't have enough money to afford it!"
Hearing this, Song Wenjing became interested, "Uncle, you didn't even say anything, but you knew I couldn't afford it? I've been doing this for a while, and I really don't have anything that I can't afford."
I've seen it before. Otherwise, you can let me see it."
Song Wenjing deliberately spoke like this to lift the old man up high and prevent him from getting off the stage.
Sure enough, the uncle was a bit sincere and did not continue to pander to Song Wenjing.
"My old father left me a seal before he left last year. He said it was made of Shoushan stone or some kind of seal of Emperor Qianlong. However, I don't understand these things and I don't like these things. If the price is right, I would like it.
Take action."
Song Wenjing was already very happy when the old man said it was the seal of Shoushan Stone. But when he heard that it was the seal of Emperor Qianlong, he almost jumped up with excitement.
But at the same time, I feel incredible. Is this uncle really sincere, or is he up to some conspiracy?
There is no reason to tell him directly if there is such a treasure hidden at home.
"Uncle, how could Emperor Qianlong's seal end up in people's homes? Most of those things are in the Palace Museum. However, if the seal is really from Shoushan Stone, it can still be worth some money. Otherwise, uncle, you can go get it.
Let me help you take a look."
Song Wenjing stared at the expression of the old man in front of him calmly, as if he wanted to find something from it. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether it was because of his superb acting skills or because he was just like this. The old man waved his hand and walked towards his home.
Song Wenjing did not look anxious about this, but sat on the trolley, took out a cigarette, and lit it on his own. After walking for a long time, he just took this opportunity to rest.
He still had doubts about what the uncle just said. But he didn't see anything, so he couldn't say anything more.
A few minutes passed, and when Song Wenjing finished smoking a cigarette, the uncle also walked downstairs.
"Come on, young man, let me show you and let you take a look!"
The uncle took out a brocade handkerchief from his pocket and slowly opened it. A small seal about 10 cm high, 4 cm long and 4 cm wide was revealed.
Song Wenjing gently picked up the seal with his fingers.
This seal is yellow in color, with a bright and soft color. The stone body is transparent, like solidified honey, and extremely moist.
On the upper end of the seal, there are two yellow dragons carved in the shape of two dragons playing with a pearl.
Turn it over and look at the bottom. The seal is engraved with the inscription: Treasure of the Ancient and Rare Emperor.
This is not just Shoushan stone. This is the best among Shoushan stones: Tianhuang stone. And it is a completely yellow Tianhuang stone.
As for the seal with Yang characters engraved on it, Song Wenjing was not sure whether it was really the seal of Emperor Qianlong.
Speaking of Emperor Qianlong, one of his titles cannot be avoided: The Seal Demon.
According to relevant historical records, Emperor Qianlong owned more than 1,800 seals in total.
During his reign, he collected masterpieces from all dynasties in the palace. In order to show his noble status, Emperor Qianlong began to inscribe on each masterpiece.
Later, because his ministers presented him with a large amount of rare jade, he suddenly had a whim and ordered someone to find skilled craftsmen to carve various types of seals for him to facilitate the appraisal and appreciation of his calligraphy and paintings.
The famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi's work "Quick Snow and Clear Calligraphy" is known as a masterpiece and praised by the world. This calligraphy only has 28 characters, which is not very large. However, with the efforts of Emperor Qianlong, it was expanded
When he reached more than 5 meters, he even wrote huge words "amazing skills" and "divine" on the copybook.
It can be said that this behavior destroyed the overall beauty of the copybook. What is even more amazing is that there are more than 170 seals of Emperor Qianlong on the entire copybook, which is unprecedented in history.
"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by the famous painter Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty can be regarded as a masterpiece. By chance, Emperor Qianlong obtained it.
Many people know that there is a lot of blank space left at the top of this painting. When Emperor Qianlong saw it, he suddenly felt hunting, and his seal finally had a use.
So every time he took it out for appreciation, he would inscribe a few words on it and stamp it with a seal. As a result, the huge blank space was quickly filled with inscriptions and seals by the emperor, even the gaps. Didn't let it go.
But the funny thing is that the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" obtained by Emperor Qianlong was a forgery and imitated by later generations.
The ministers did not dare to tell the truth, so they kept it secret. As a result, the real "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" did not suffer the murderous hands of Emperor Qianlong and survived.
The number of seals carved by Emperor Qianlong during his lifetime is truly jaw-dropping.
There is the "Qianlong Preview Treasure" dedicated to appreciating cultural relics; there is the "Sanxi Hall" dedicated to the study; and there is the "Feng San Selfless" to reflect his personal political thoughts.
He had a rare longevity, living a total of 89 years. Among all emperors, he can be called the longest.
When he was seventy years old, he engraved the "Treasure of the Ancient Emperor"; when he was eighty, he also engraved the "Treasure of the Bazheng Cang Nian"; and in his later years, he called himself "Old Man Shiquan" and engraved a seal with the following: To commemorate.
In his lifetime, there were more than 40 "Treasures of the Ancient Emperor" of different types and materials, and more than 60 "Treasures of the Eighth Symptoms".
Of course, most of these seals are stored in the Palace Museum, and some are in museums across the Taiwan Strait. As for those lost overseas, there are also many.
At this time, the seal in Song Wenjing's hand was probably one of the lost ones.
