Chi Bugui could see the seal after reading it. Xiu Ran seemed to remember something, so he turned around and walked inside. ◇↓

After a while, an old book that had been covered with dust was taken out from the back, and the words "Sireng Zashu" were printed at the front.

Xileng is the abbreviation of Xileng Seal Society in the old days.

In the 30th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1904), Zhejiang school seal carving masters Ding Fuzhi, Wang Fu'an, Ye Weiming, Wu Yin and four others bought land and built a room next to the peak pavilion of Gushan, Xihu, and founded the seal society. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the research and development of gold and stone was at its peak. Many famous gold and stone masters were determined to promote and develop national qualities, so they formed a association on the banks of Xiling Bridge on the southern foot of Gushan. "People use seal collections and the society uses place names", so they named it "Xiling Seal Society". The Miscellaneous Stories of Xiling Seal Society are records of many seals in Xiling Seal Society.

Chi Bugui carefully opened the page and followed the memory to the page. It was read: "In the past, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty had a top-quality silver-wrapped gold-wrapped field and yellow-frozen. The hidden man on the Ke Zhongfeng was said to be able to synthesize the character Yu, but he did not know whether it was true or false. After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the seal was brought to the Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizu of Song regarded it and denounced it as a toy and threw it. Later, he was caught by a eunuch and was lost outside the palace and disappeared. In the Ming Dynasty, someone had seen this seal in Chen Wan Sanjia. Later, the Shen family was confiscated, and the seal fell, and he disappeared again."

"Look, look, inheritance is orderly, inheritance is orderly!" Chi Bugui pointed to the words on the book and said excitedly.

The "inheritance and order" among antiques is like a family tree, with the main and side branches on it being forked, recorded one by one, passed down from generation to generation. Until the dynasty changes, things change. In the antique industry, an item that is inherited and orderly is far more popular than an antique without any records.

"That has to be proved that this is that seal." Cang Guoxiong said from the side.

"this..."

That's right. If you can't prove that this seal is the one that Li Yu used, no matter how many records there are, there is no way to use it. Who knows if it is a counterfeit product from a bad vendor? People are so sad that they can come up with anything imitating it. It's really a damn thing.

Suddenly, Chi Bugui thought of the records in the book and quickly picked up the seal.

The seal was too old and the ink mud was dry. He took out a box of seals from the counter, dipped it a little, and printed it on the white paper on the counter.

After a closer look, I saw a small word Yu vaguely connected between the four characters printed by Zhong Feng’s Hermit. The person behind me took a breath of air conditioning. This was really the seal that Li Yu had used.

Cai Hongming didn't understand these things, he was just watching the fun.

Cang Bohu, who had been following a few old men, looked at it, turned around suddenly, took out a business card from his pocket and said to Cai Hongming: "Hello Mr. Cai, I am Cang Bohu, the business manager of Shendu Auction House. Our company is preparing for an autumn auction. I wonder if you would like to hand this seal to our company for auction. Don't worry. Our company is a top domestic auction company with a professional promotion team. We will definitely get your things to be sold at a good price."

Cai Hongming glanced at him and had to say that this guy is very eye-catching.

The Chinese people have always been very interested in the seals of emperors because the emperor is the real dragon emperor, and the seal is the dragon seal. If you buy it and bring it with you, you can still get rid of the dragon spirit. Otherwise, you can also use it to keep the house safe. Of course, there are also some people who have ambitions and feel that they have the emperor's taste. If you use this as a gimmick to promote it, you will not have to worry about no one buying it. However, he doesn't know how strong this auction house is, and it is impossible for him to give it to him with just a few words.

Seeing his hesitant look, Cang Bohu added a fire, "According to the rules of our auction house, such commissions for entrusted auction items like this would be charged 18% commissions. If you are willing to auction things for our auction house, then I will reduce my personal commissions for 3%."

Cang Guoxiong listened to it and said to his son: "Don't worry, Bohu will never let you suffer any losses. If there is anything, you can come to me." After that, he took out a business card and handed it to Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming took it and saw the titles "Vice President of Nanjing Antiques Association, General Manager of Mingqi Pavilion, Honorary Director of Nanjing Museum" and other titles were printed on it.

He was a little short of money recently, so he was a little moved when he heard Cang Bohu's words. There were also some good things in the jade beads, such as the antiques I found in the sea last time, the red coral I dug out, and the mutton fat jade I found in Hotan, etc., which could be auctioned. After thinking about it, he made an appointment with Cang Bohu to meet in Shencheng because their auction house is headquartered in Shencheng. During this period, he had to sort out his treasures and see what he had to take out for auction.

Seeing that nothing happened, he took the seal back.

Several old men stared at his hand holding the seal with their eyes, which made him feel a little disappointed. They didn't give up and wanted to invite Cai Hongming to dinner, but he didn't want to run away with something.

After leaving Nanjing, he did not rush to Shencheng, but went to Yangzhou. The wintersweet dug out from the seabed was still missing a base, so he wanted to ask Master Yu Feihong, who helped carve the ink jade gourd last time, to carve one of them with Hetian jade. I believe that the fiery red coral lined with the white jade base basin will be very pleasing to the eye, and maybe it will be sold at a high price.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, Cai Hongming did not go directly to Yu Feihong's house, but called him in the hotel.

He took out the half-meter-high red coral and some Hetian jade from the jade beads and waited in the room.

After a while, Yu Feihong arrived and Cai Hongming welcomed him into the room.

"I'm so sorry to ask Master Yu to come."

"It's nothing, why don't you go to home? The old man is still nagging when he hears you come?"

"It's inconvenient for me to bring things, so I'll come to see the old man someday."

As soon as he sat down, Yu Feihong saw the wintersweet coral placed on the table. He was instantly attracted by the dazzling red. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently. He didn't dare to exert too much force because the coral branches were crisp and he was afraid of being hurt.

"You won't let me carve this coral! That won't work. It's too harsh and conquer the heavenly things, absolutely not."

"How could it be? I want to make this coral into ornaments. I plan to ask you to help me use these jade carvings to come out with a base. What do you think?" Cai Hongming explained

“It’s almost the same.”

Yu Feihong nodded and looked carefully at the Hetian white jade on the table. These are all fine products among Hetian white jade, but they are a little worse than the top mutton fat jade that is famous for Hotan, but they are more than enough to carve a base. Yu Feihong is also a professional disease. After seeing the white jade, he took out a roll of mini tape measure from his pocket and measured the size under the coral. After a while, he measured everything.

"Master Yu, come and have tea."

Cai Hongming presented a cup of hot tea with both hands, and Yu Feihong took it and thanked him.

"I wonder when this base will be better?"

"This is not very skillful. If you are in a hurry, I'll hurry up and it should be done within three days."

"That's thank you for your hard work."

"We are all so familiar with each other, why are you so kind? You really don't go to the house to sit."

"I still have something to do, so I won't go."

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first."

"Don't sit for a while."

"No, I have to go back and make the things for you." After that, Yu Feihong carried the Hetian jade given to him by Cai Hongming.
