"What do you mean? Could it be that this Royal Seal had some sort of origin?”
Yan Bing didn't believe it. In this day and age, almost all valuable Royal Seals went to collectors. Some went to the museum. Although the kid in front of her was a little legendary, she didn't think he could bring out anything valuable.
Moreover, she had already received some instructions from Song Chenggong. In the next few months, she had to keep an eye on Lin Feng's movements. He seemed to be causing trouble for the Song family.
"Won't you know once you take a look? Don't lose Treasure Trove Pavilion's reputation. If you really can't tell, I'll leave immediately.”
Yan Bing was a little confused by Lin Feng's expression. She signaled with her eyes, and soon, a servant took out a set of appraisal tools from the backyard.
Lin Feng quietly drank his tea while Yan Bing began to appraise. The atmosphere also became a little solemn at this moment.
A moment later, Yan Bing placed the x-magnifying glass on the table and looked at Lin Feng.
" This Royal Seal is indeed a high-grade one, but it's a pity that it doesn't have an origin. In my opinion, it's most likely from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Do you want me to bid? I can't go higher than 2,000,000. Mr. Lin, you can sell it to me, but if you think that I can't see it, then we can only drop the matter.
"Haha, as expected, such a big shop is just so-so. I thought that the biggest antique shop in Yunzhou Antique Street had something special about it, but it turns out that it's just so-so.”
"Mister Lin, what do you mean? I have to be responsible for what I say. In the antique world of Shanghai, no one dares to talk to me like this.”
Yan Bing's expression suddenly turned serious, and his gaze towards Lin Feng was filled with unfriendliness.
"Don't look at me like that. If I don't have any confidence in challenging your profession, would I be asking for humiliation?”
"Alright, since Mr. Lin said so, I'll listen to what you have to say. If I really lose to you, you can quote any price for this item. At the same time, I'll let you choose something from my shop to take away.“
Lin Feng laughed in his heart. He knew the other party's character like the back of his hand. In his professional field, he could not be doubted by others. Just a few simple words and he had taken the bait.
"It's a deal. If my item is really just an ordinary seal, I'll give it to you with both hands, no matter how valuable it is.”
"Good, straightforward."
Yan Bing's eyes flashed with a trace of pride, while Lin Feng stood up and smiled,""Shopkeeper Yan, go prepare the money. I'll sell this Royal Seal to you for 100 million.”
The hall instantly fell silent. All the employees in Treasure Trove Pavilion looked at Lin Feng as if they had seen a ghost.
But Lin Feng ignored it.
"Shopkeeper Yan is really careless. Look at the words at the bottom. It's been a long time. The words 'Cong Yun' may not be clear, but this can coincidentally confirm the origin of this thing.”
Yan Bing's heart skipped a beat. He put on his gloves and picked up the seal to take a look. He was instantly shocked.“
Lin Feng stood up and clapped his hands, but he said,"This name isn't quite correct. The correct one should be the Southern Red Agate Vermilion Bird Seal. This was Qianlong's favorite seal, but it has been missing for a long time. I obtained it by chance."“
"You... Where did you get it?"|
"I don't think there's a need to report this to you, right? Is our bet still valid?”
Yan Bing was no longer as calm as before. His charming eyes swept over Lin Feng as if he wanted to see through him.
"I'm willing to lose. If it's really the Conglomerate Cloud Treasure Seal, I'll accept 100 million. But can you wait a moment? I want to ask someone to appraise it.”
"Go ahead."
After whispering a few words to the waiter beside him, the latter quickly left. About five minutes later, an old man was brought into the shop with a large group of people behind him.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to make a fuss?”
"Shopkeeper Yan, Professor Li happens to be hosting the Appraisal Conference, so…。So..."
"Alright, I understand. Professor Li, I would like to ask you to help me identify if this is Lord Qianlong's Cloud Treasure Seal.”
Professor Li was a professor in the Department of Archeology at Shanghai University. He was especially good at identifying jade and seals. He was very famous on this street.
The people around them also roughly knew what was going on. Everyone was interested because the other main character, Lin Feng, was also very popular in Shanghai during this period of time.
About ten minutes later, Professor Chen took off his glasses amidst everyone's nervousness.
"Professor, how was it? What exactly is this seal?"
Yan Bing asked impatiently.
"Shopkeeper Yan, I really didn't expect that the Cloudy Seal, which has been missing for so many years, would actually appear. I can confirm that this is definitely the authentic product through the identification of the Yang characters at the bottom.“
"All of its forms are completely consistent with the seventh volume of the 'Qing Palace Internal Affairs Office Archives' that is currently stored in the Yanjing National Museum.”
Yan Bing's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Lin Feng. At the same time, he began to seriously examine the young man in front of him.
