Chapter 533: The Real Mandarin Duck Cup
Wu Lao was holding two glasses of water in his hands.
The two glasses of water were hot and cold, one steaming hot and the other cooling.
At this moment, he was approaching Chen Hao, although he was talking to Chen Hao, his eyes were staring at the two crystal cups in Hu Xuelin's hands without blinking.
Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now this thing belongs to my sister, as long as she agrees, that's fine." ”
As he spoke, Chen Hao had already quietly taken the blue crown in his hand and began to play with it.
It was just as soon as he touched his hand that Chen Hao knew that this crown, like the other three crowns in his hand, was a level thing!
The rest of the people's minds were now on those two cups, so no one noticed Chen Hao's expression and movements.
Wu Lao looked at Hu Xuelin with a look of hope and said, "This little girl, can you let me pour some water into the cup?" Don't worry, I will never move the cup!"
Hu Xuelin was a little entangled, if it was just an ordinary cup, she would naturally not have any refusal, but now as long as a discerning person looks at it, she can see that these two cups are not simple, what if something goes wrong?
Alice said on the side: "This cup is obviously not simple, if there is a problem because of the pouring of water, what should I do?"
Wu Lao immediately said: "If there is any problem, I, Old Man Wu, am willing to compensate for all losses! I have also been mixed in the antique world for many years, you definitely don't have to worry about reputation, and over the years, I have saved a lot of money in hand, and you don't have to worry that I can't afford to compensate!"
Alice nodded, and then said to Hu Xuelin: "Xuelin, let him try, I also want to see what tricks he can play?"
Hu Xuelin only hesitated slightly this time, and then agreed, she also wanted to see what Wu Lao was going to do, why did she pour water inside?
Seeing Hu Xuelin agree, Boss Wu was overjoyed, but he became nervous again, which could be seen from his slightly trembling hands.
Wu Lao carefully poured the water in the two paper cups into the two crystal cups.
Then the magic happened.
Everyone was shocked to find that the mandarin ducks on the two crystal cups seemed to be alive, and they were swimming slowly!
"Oh, buy a Ka......" Alice exclaimed in English.
Even though she was well-informed and possessed magical methods, it was the first time she had seen such a phenomenon.
Others are even more so.
Chen Hao only glanced at it slightly, and then stopped paying attention, but ******** put it on the crown in his hand.
In his eyes, this crown was obviously much more valuable than those two crystal cups!
The reason why the mandarin duck on the crystal cup will move is actually related to the crystal material and the refraction of the light outside, coupled with the gentle shaking of the water inside, which affects the light, which will naturally cause a certain visual illusion.
In fact, as long as you have learned textbook knowledge, you actually understand this.
But understanding is one thing, and being surprised when you see it is another.
In short, this scene is indeed shocking!
After seeing this scene, Wu Lao took a deep breath, his face became more and more excited, and then he said to Hu Xuelin: "Girl, you can touch the cup with your hand now, and then please tell me how you feel when you touch the cup?"
Hu Xuelin didn't hesitate this time, after all, if Wu Lao didn't pour water just now, then they wouldn't have seen such a shocking scene.
It's just that when Hu Xuelin's hand just touched the steaming crystal cup, his face was stunned for a moment.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Wu Lao hurriedly asked.
The people next to him also looked at Hu Xuelin curiously, not understanding what Hu Xuelin's current appearance meant.
"Why is there hot water in the cup, but it feels like a cold drink from the refrigerator just now?"
Then she tried another cup, and her face was even more surprised, and she couldn't help but say to herself: "But when this cup of cold water touches it, it feels that the cup is extremely warm, as if it is a cup of hot water inside." ”
"Sure enough...... Wu Lao finally let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Hu Xuelin with envy on his wrinkled face.
"Wu, Wu...... Old Wu, do you know these two cups?" Boss Lu on the side finally couldn't help but smell it.
"Haha, Boss Lu, you, you, you've been shrewd in business all your life, but I didn't expect to suffer a big loss today!"
Boss Lu had tears on his face, even if he didn't know the true value of these two cups, but the scene just now could already make him feel that he had suffered a big loss.
It's definitely not something that can be bought for thousands of dollars!
After Wu Lao laughed for a while, his face changed to a serious expression, and said: "In fact, these two crystal cups are the real mandarin duck cups, you should have heard the story of the 'Beacon Opera Princes', in the Western Weekend New Year, King Zhou You smiled for Concubine Bo, and let people light the beacon tower to play with the princes." But few people know that in fact, King Zhou You did one more thing for the sake of the concubine, that is, to order the whole country to build two mandarin duck cups in the future!"
Boss Lu was immediately startled and stammered: "It's difficult, is it ...... This...... This cup is ......"
The others looked shocked and incredulous.
If these two cups were really from the Western Zhou Dynasty, they would be priceless now!
But more importantly, I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be a personal item at that time, and can only be handed over to the state.
But fortunately, Wu Lao just shook his head and said, "The two cups that King Zhou You ordered people to build have long disappeared in the long river of history. And even if it exists until now, it is impossible to be as beautiful as the two cups in front of you. After all, the resources and craftsmanship were not as developed as those of later generations, and the finished products were far from what I can see today. ”
Boss Lu asked, "Then which dynasty are these two cups from, and how much are they worth?"
This question is not just what Boss Lu wants to know, but others also want to know.
Wu Lao said: "These two cups are only made according to the earliest mandarin duck cups, but when they are finished, it is already the time of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is quite prosperous in the style of talented and beautiful women, so there are many similar things at that time, all of which are one-to-one pairs, representing the love of men and women, and the handicrafts of mandarin duck cups are no longer few." But the most famous is this couple. ”
"Why is this pair the most famous?" asked Hu Xuelin.
Women are more emotional things, especially when they hear about talented and beautiful women, men and women, they are naturally more interested.
