Mr. Yan and Mr. Jin have arrived. Why does it feel like the emperor has arrived?

However, this does give people a feeling of awe. Yan Jingsheng is a master in the industry, especially his craftsmanship is unparalleled.

As for Mr. Jin, most people were unfamiliar with him, but a few people showed excitement on their faces.

Jin Rui runs several large antique shops. I heard that his business has expanded overseas. He also purchased some national treasures that were scattered overseas and donated them to the National Museum. He is also well-known in the industry, but he is famous for his voice. He is known as

People are extremely low-key.

People subconsciously looked at the door and saw two people approaching slowly. They walked side by side regardless of front or rear. Yan Jingsheng was in his fifties and middle-aged. He was wearing a brocade dress and his neat hair was mixed with a few...

He has white hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face. He has an upright appearance and elegant temperament.

Next to him is naturally Mr. Jin, and this is the first time Liu Jianfeng has really seen him. He is of medium build and a little thin, with short hair, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and a long face. He really reminds him of the portrait of Emperor Qianlong when he was young.

He was wearing a bright yellow gown. Although there were no golden dragons and golden pythons on it, there were pictures of auspicious clouds embroidered on it. His upright posture exuded a sense of nobility.

Although everyone is an industry insider, after all, they all come from the north and south of the country. As the host, Yan Jingsheng must have something to say, but before he could say anything, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "Master Jin, it's really Mr. Jin!"

The sudden sound immediately attracted people's attention, and Yan Jingsheng was left standing there in an instant.

I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking out of the crowd. He was slightly fat and had a bald head. His fat, red face was full of excitement. He tremblingly walked up to Mr. Jin and stammered: "Mr. Jin...

…”

The fat man was so excited that he felt as if he was about to convulse. Suddenly, with a swipe of his hands, he knelt down on his knees and said in a trembling voice: "My slave, Nazhi, kowtow to the master. May the master be blessed and safe."

The fat man's sudden move shocked everyone. In this age, there are still people who call themselves slaves.

Of course, although there are no more slaves, the feeling of being a house slave is not pleasant, but the house slave has not lost his dignity.

Look at the fat man's action, and he also pulled up his sleeves twice. This was an action done by ministers in the Qing Dynasty when they knelt down to worship the emperor or the princes and nobles. This was because of the characteristics of Manchu clothing. The two sleeves were very long and could protect the hands, similar to horse hooves.

It's called horseshoe sleeves.

There are many ways of saying that you shake your sleeves first when bowing to a distinguished person, to show that you have nothing hidden in your sleeves. Another way is that the official metaphors that his sleeves are refreshing, etc. In short, there are many rules and tricks.

The royal family of the Manchu Qing Dynasty took the rules to the extreme and did everything possible to show the supreme status of the emperor. They could not look up at the emperor, nor could they turn around when retiring. When kneeling to salute, they had to flutter their sleeves first. Everyone had to call themselves slaves.

, many great emperors in the past dynasties, including the First Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, and Ming Emperor, have never enjoyed this treatment.

The fat man was so excited that he seemed to cry. Everyone recovered from the brief shock, and some people immediately showed some understanding and disdain. The woodcarving master next to Liu Jianfeng saw that Liu Jianfeng was a little shocked, so he hummed in a low voice: "It's the same old routine.

Play the slave-master trick, elevate the other party's status, and then he will bring out some treasure, which will naturally increase the credibility and increase the value."

Liu Jianfeng nodded suddenly. He had long heard that the antique trade was well established.

, especially nowadays, there is almost no real thing on the market, they are all fakes, and they are mainly deceptive, so the acting skills and routines will naturally increase.

The people present were all old foxes in the industry and had seen all kinds of tricks. Although they were shocked when the fat man knelt down, they quickly calmed down.

Mr. Jin also had a slightly surprised look on his face. He stretched out his hand to help the fat man up and said, "This gentleman is too polite. Today, you and I are the same citizens, and we have never met each other, so there is no need to perform these old rituals."

But the fat man was so flattered that he dared not say: "No matter how times change and etiquette changes, it is always right to respect your elders and relatives, remember your kindness, and be grateful, right?"

Although today is different from the past, my family has received the emperor's favor from generation to generation, so that future generations can be full of descendants and enjoy peace. How can people forget their roots?"

The fat man's words are so righteous that no one can refute them. Indeed, it is right for people to be grateful for their kindness, and it is right for people to remember their roots when drinking water. If they don't care about politics and don't use big names, there is nothing wrong with what they said.

When the Qing Dynasty collapsed, countless bannermen nobles were swallowed up by the torrent of the world. They changed their names to protect their lives. Most of the Aisin Gioro royal family changed their surname to Jin, and some Nala changed their surname to Na. Nowadays, there are many celebrities with that surname.

There are also many descendants of the banner people who have prominent status and are planning for the entire ethnic group. For example, in the past few decades, there were few Qing palace dramas in our dynasty. Suddenly, after one drama, it suddenly broke out. It has evolved to this day, almost

The whole screen is covered with big braids, and countless histories have been quietly changed in them.

The fat man's words made Mr. Jin unable to say anything polite and could only smile. However, the fat man was still in a state of excitement and couldn't help himself. He said in a trembling voice: "I really didn't expect to see you today, sir. What a feeling."

I think it's no less than the ancestors who went to worship.

My family has been bathed in the emperor's grace and is grateful from generation to generation. Even when the current situation is turbulent, our ancestors are willing to give up everything and use their lives to protect the imperial edict that has been favored by our ancestors for generations. This kind of imperial favor and this kind of glory are worth more than our lives.

It is so important that it has been passed down from generation to generation and has become an heirloom of my family.

Today I have the honor to attend the treasure appraisal conference held by Mr. Yan. I really have nothing to offer, so I brought this imperial edict passed down from my family."

Everyone was impatient with his open mouth and imperial favor, but shut up. Everyone came here to find treasures, and more importantly, to be Yan Jingsheng's guest.

This is the real purpose of the Treasure Sailing Club, which is to let people take out the treasure. If Yan Jingsheng also appreciates it and is attracted by it, he will naturally be attracted by him because he is a guest and there is a treasure. He is even willing to marry his stepdaughter.

Yan Jingsheng has no children of his own, and a stepdaughter is just like an only daughter. If anyone can bring a beautiful woman home, all that Yan Jingsheng has learned in his life will definitely be used as a dowry.

At this time, when they heard the fat man talking about the imperial edict, people cheered up and finally got to the point.

Someone who knew the fat man immediately said: "I didn't expect that the boss has such a prominent status, and even hides a treasure. Since the boss said it, then take out the imperial edict and let me open my eyes, so that we can bathe in the emperor's bath."

kindness."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, the fat man's face suddenly showed a look of displeasure, Mr. Jin also had a serious face, and the people's attitude seemed very disrespectful.

The fat man said angrily: "Everyone, this holy book may be just an antique in your eyes, but to me it is as precious as life. Please give it to me."

Give due respect.”

These words were clearly spoken, and everyone immediately stopped smiling. The person who spoke even apologized and said, "Boss, please forgive me. I don't cover up my words, so don't blame me."

The fat man relaxed his brows when he saw this. The people who can come here are naturally not ordinary people. Even the most inconspicuous old man can probably bring out priceless treasures. They are all famous collectors in the industry.

Therefore, they would not come by themselves. They were basically accompanied by assistants. The fat man gave him a look, and immediately a young man took out a brocade box. The red brocade was embroidered with auspicious clouds, and the shape was exquisite.

"Please help Mr. Jin to get it. Only you are qualified to get it here." The fat man said to Mr. Jin respectfully.

Mr. Jin seemed to be in awe, and took the brocade box with both hands. Then the fat man knelt down and kowtowed three times and nine times in front of Mr. Jin and the brocade box. The sense of ritual was very strong. Legend has it that in ancient times, when receiving imperial edicts, everyone needed to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and set up a table.

The ceremony is extremely solemn.

This naturally reminded Liu Jianfeng of the previous story. The counterfeiting group had released the news in advance. The eunuch in the palace had stolen the emperor's royal treasure and disappeared without a trace. Years later, the sloppy boy came back to sell it. What a shocking situation.

Now the fat man's sense of ritual is the same.

After the fat man got up, he asked the staff with white gloves to help take out the imperial edict. Just now it was glory, now it is goods. The former should be solemn and the latter should be careful.

There were a total of three imperial edicts in the brocade box, which were carefully displayed in front of everyone by the staff, causing an uproar at the scene.

In fact, the imperial edict is not paper, but a brocade woven from silk, with ox horns as the axis. The color of the Ming Emperor is eye-catching. There are auspicious clouds, cranes, and five-clawed golden dragons flying in the sky. It can be described as magnificent.

What's even more eye-catching is the seal on it, which contains both the emperor's treasure and other seals. They use standard regular script. Those who write imperial edicts are usually bachelor editors from Hanlin or Zhongshu Sheren, who are all calligraphers.

.

These three imperial edicts came from different eras, the Kangxi period, the Qianlong period and the Daoguang period, and were written in both Manchu and Chinese.

Although everyone knew the rules of treasure appraisal in the industry, they still couldn't help but gathered around and watched carefully. Some even wanted to touch it.

Just as people were admiring it, the crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was very contemptuous.

The fat man immediately looked around and saw Liu Jianfeng with a sneer and disdain on his face.

The fat man couldn't help but frown and asked: "Little brother, what do you mean?"

"It seems like I should ask you this. You were the first to bring out the treasure. Although it was just to attract others, it was also a start. But now you come up with a fake. Isn't this just teasing us? How can we believe it?"

Are there any real ones down here?" Liu Jianfeng said disdainfully.

"What fake?" People were a little surprised. After all, everyone was still appreciating the texture and pattern of the edict. Of course, some experts saw the clues. However, it is the rule of the industry to see through but not tell. After all, those who are conceited deserve bad luck.

Everyone is lying.

Not to mention the antique shop, any priceless item is worth a fortune. Even if you go to a second-hand car market to buy a car, the car dealer will not let his peers to appraise it. After all, everyone is eating this.
