After chatting for a while about the two newly acquired courtyard houses, Ye Tian changed the topic.
"Grandpa, the Four Treasures of the Study you are using now are the best in Beijing, and only one of the few in the country. How do you feel? Let me tell you about it!"
Hearing this, Grandpa's face immediately burst into a bright smile, and he felt a little bit of pain.
"How do you feel? I really don’t know! Those things are all rare treasures? How can I be willing to use them! You are the only one who is too big-hearted to not take those treasures seriously!
Xu Wei's Duan Inkstone is okay. As long as it is not knocked or touched and used with care, there is no need to worry about loss. It can be preserved for a long time, and the longer it is, the more valuable it is.
Although 'Dai Yuexuan''s top-grade lake pens are consumables, they can be used for a long time. Even if they are worn out, you can still buy another set, although they are a bit ridiculously expensive!
The situation with Jiajing tribute ink and those top-grade rice papers is different. Those treasures are all disposable consumables. Once used, they are completely gone. You can’t buy them even if you want to!
As long as I keep these treasures in the study room and on the desk, and take a look at them from time to time, I will be satisfied. How about using them to practice calligraphy? I really can’t do it! "
"Hahaha!"
Dad and the others all laughed and nodded in sympathy.
Amid laughter, the second uncle said with emotion:
"Yes! Even the top calligraphers and painters in the country certainly don't have such luxury as tribute ink and top-grade rice paper worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and they are willing to use these treasures to practice calligraphy!"
"What's wrong with this! Grandpa, just use it. When these tribute inks are used up, I will replace them with better ones. Next time, what I put in front of you may be silicon ink!"
This is even more true for rice paper. Didn’t I give you a VIP card? When you run out of paper, you can go to Rongbaozhai to pick it up. I have a lot of them in Rongbaozhai, and they are all top-quality rice paper! Enough for you to use for a while!
Although these things are valuable and very rare! But they are made for people to use, not for display in the study. If so, they will lose the value of existence! "
Ye Tian said lightly, obviously not taking those treasures too seriously.
Grandpa was reluctant to use these top-quality Four Treasures of the Study. Ye Tian had expected it and was not surprised at all!
The reason is that grandpa has never seen these treasures before, let alone used them to practice calligraphy!
For him, these are legendary treasures, just out of reach!
Now that he has these treasures, of course he is reluctant to use them. He wishes he could put them on his desk so that he could be satisfied just looking at them every day!
As time goes by, he gradually gets used to the existence of these things, and he probably doesn't value them so much. He will occasionally use these treasures instead of continuing to offer them.
"I would like to visit Rongbaozhai often. There are indeed a lot of good things there, but forget it about picking up paper to practice calligraphy! Let those top-quality rice papers continue to exist in Rongbaozhai! That's good!"
Grandpa shook his head slightly, still reluctant to part with those top-quality rice papers.
"As you like! Okay, let's not talk about those rice papers. Let me show you another treasure. Dad, second uncle, and brother-in-law, you can also take a look, everyone has a share!"
With that said, Ye Tian stood up and walked aside, took out a few boxes from his bag, and walked back to the coffee table.
These are several mahogany seal boxes, including red sandalwood, huanghuali, and chicken wing wood! It's not big, but the workmanship is very exquisite. He bought it when he left Rongbaozhai before, and it came in handy today.
"Xiaotian, what treasure did you find again? Isn't this a seal box? It seems to be made of mahogany and looks very good. Isn't it filled with seals?"
My uncle asked curiously, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
"That's right! These boxes are filled with seals. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then began to distribute seals, pushing several mahogany boxes in front of several elders.
"Grandpa, this is yours; Dad, this is yours; second uncle and younger uncle, you two also have one, one for each. Before opening the seal box, I have to remind you, sit still and hold on! Don't do it! Scared! "
"Ouch! What kind of seal is in the box? Is that so!"
The second uncle said with a smile, then picked up the seal box on the coffee table and opened the sliding cover.
The next moment, the second uncle was completely stunned. He stared straight at the seal in the box, unable to look away and reluctant to look away!
“Hiss——!”
There was a gasp of air at the scene, coming from Grandpa and Dad.
They did not open the seal box in their hands, but they were shocked when they saw the seal in the seal box in the second uncle's hand.
"Xiaotian, isn't this a Tianhuang stone seal? I've seen the famous Qianlong Tianhuang three-chain seal in the Forbidden City. The color is almost exactly the same as this one. It's so noble!"
My uncle asked excitedly, his voice trembling a little.
"That's right! This is the Tianhuang seal, and it is the top-grade Tianhuang frozen stone seal. It is priceless and extremely rare! That's why I asked you to sit still and hold on! The result still scared you!"
Ye Tian nodded in response, gave a positive answer, and smiled very happily.
"Tianhuang frozen stone! I heard you right! That is the king of stones!"
Grandpa exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement, which made people a little worried.
"Xiaotian, please don't tell us that every seal box contains a Fangtian Huang Frozen Stone Seal. That's too crazy!"
"You guessed it right! Uncle, there is a field yellow frozen stone seal in each box, but the size is different, and the shape is also different. The one in grandpa's hand is the largest and most powerful!"
“It’s actually the top-notch Tianhuang frozen stone seal. I can’t even imagine it! There aren’t many places in Beijing! Even if there is, I’m afraid it’s all in the Forbidden City!”
Grandpa sighed excitedly, and at the same time he gently opened the red sandalwood box in his hand. He moved very carefully, and his hands were trembling slightly.
The same goes for dad and uncle, who forced themselves to calm down their excitement before opening the box in their hands with great anticipation and looking at the seal inside the box.
Just as Ye Tian said, in the box in each of their hands, there is a top-notch Tianhuang frozen stone seal, big or small, like pieces of solidified honey, extremely moist and intoxicating!
The moment they opened the box, the three of them, grandfather, father and uncle, were completely attracted by the small seal in front of them. They behaved exactly like their second uncle, with faces full of obsession!
Next, the living room was completely overwhelmed by the sound of admiration, and the temperature seemed to rise several degrees.
Several elders fell into a state of obsession, holding their own Tianhuang frozen stone seals and admiring them carefully, with nothing else in their eyes.
The only exception was Ye Tian in the living room. He drank the fragrant Longjing while looking at the elders in front of him with a smile without disturbing them.
After a long time, Grandpa and the others just woke up from their obsession, and each of them was still playing with the seals in their hands, unable to put them down!
"Xiaotian, why are these seals all plain seals? There are no patterns or names engraved on them. Could it be that they were just cut out?"
"Yes! I feel like this is also a freshly cut seal, and the polishing in some places seems not very good! And there are so many directions at once, it's incredible!"
Several elders all looked at Ye Tian, expecting to hear his answer.
"That's right! These Tianhuang frozen stone seals are indeed freshly cut! And I cut them myself. The location is in the south room, where there is a stone dissolving machine, which I bought yesterday!
Because time was short and the equipment was not complete, after cutting these Tianhuang stone seals, I only polished them roughly, not in detail, which is what you see now! "
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"Oh! It turns out that your kid has been staying in the south room yesterday afternoon, tinkering with these treasures! You even pretended to be mysterious and wouldn't let us in!"
Grandpa said suddenly, his eyes full of joy.
Who loves calligraphy and doesn’t want to own a high-quality personal seal? Of course, grandpa is not exempt from vulgarity!
Not only him, but anyone who needs to use a seal in life, who doesn’t want to have a decent seal? No exception!
"Ah! You actually cut it yourself! Where did you get Tianhuang Stone? This kind of top-grade Tianhuang Stone is very rare, right? All good things have happened to you!
And you are so brave. You actually dare to cut such a priceless treasure by yourself. What if everything goes wrong? That's a huge loss! "
The second uncle asked curiously. At the same time, he kept playing with the Tianhuang seal in his hand and was reluctant to put it down.
“I went to Rongbaozhai to buy rice paper a few days ago and came across this Tianhuang stone by chance. It was a Mongolian stone, the famous Crow Skin Tianhuang Stone.
I carefully inspected the gambling stone and found that its leather shell performed very well. It was very likely to produce top-grade Tianhuang, so I bought the gambling stone for 3.2 million yuan.
As expected! The result did not disappoint me. Not only did I cut Tianhuang out of it, but it was also the top-grade Tianhuang frozen stone, a priceless treasure that can only be found but cannot be found! "
Ye Tian explained the origin of these Tianhuang frozen stone seals, his tone and expression were quite proud.
"Ah! 3.2 million yuan to buy a gambling stone! You are so brave! What if it breaks down? Isn't that much money wasted!"
Dad exclaimed and his eyes stood up.
Obviously, the word gambling on stones was a bit sensitive and made him think too much.
"Don't worry! Dad! I have a strong foundation in my heart and I will take action only when I see it right. If the performance of the Tianhuang Betting Stone's skin is very poor and it is not worth taking action, then I don't even want it for free. I still think it's too heavy." ”
Ye Tian quickly explained a few words to prevent his father from going crazy.
Hearing this explanation, Dad's expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
The facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe that his son was indeed targeted! Not a crazy gambler!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The reason why I bought a stone-cutting machine and cut this piece of Tianhuang stone by myself at home instead of using it on others is that I don't want others to know the existence of this top-grade Tianhuang stone! That doesn't do any good!
Because I don’t want to sell this top-grade Tianhuang frozen stone or these top-grade seals at all, but I plan to keep them all for our own family to use!
Of course, the best things should be left to your family. In addition to having seal functions, these Tianhuang frozen stone seals can also be used as family heirlooms for our family to pass on! "
"That's right! It's best not to make this kind of treasure public, it's too easy to make people jealous! Using a top-grade Tianhuang stone seal as a family heirloom is indeed a very good choice!"
Grandpa nodded happily and expressed his approval of Ye Tian's actions.
Not to mention the other elders, they all nodded without any disagreement.
"As for the risks of cutting stones by yourself, you can rest assured that my hands are stable! My stone cutting skills are by no means worse than anyone else, including the top carving masters.
One more thing I am very sure of is that no one knows that piece of Tianhuang Gambling Stone better than me, and knows where the most reasonable attack should be made and how to make choices, so I don’t lie to others.
These Tianhuang frozen stone seals are all plain seals. You can keep them individually. If you want to carve them one day and turn this treasure into a real personal seal, you must tell me.
For a top-grade treasure like this, you must not just find a carver to carve it. This will cause the value of these top-grade Tianhuang frozen stones to greatly depreciate, and may even be used to abscond.
Only the top Bo Yi carving masters and the most outstanding inscription and stone seal carving masters in the antique industry are qualified to get hold of these treasures and display their talents on these treasures to add color to them! "
"That's true! The top materials should be matched with the top designs and the most outstanding craftsmanship. Only then can they complement each other!"
"By the way! Xiaotian, can you tell me the value of these seals? They must be sky-high, right?"
"Of course, the seal in Grandpa's hand is the largest and most imposing. Its market value should be between 2,000 and 25 million yuan, and it can be even higher after it is carved.
The seal in my father's hands is the second largest, with a market value of about 15 million yuan; the two seals in the hands of my second uncle and younger uncle are between 800 and 12 million yuan! "
Ye Tian chuckled and quoted the price, with a calm and relaxed expression.
Others were not so relaxed. When they heard the price he quoted, several elders were stunned and froze on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, this small living room was completely boiling!
