After sending off the three Wang brothers, Fan Wuxian began to examine the things they sent, categorizing them one by one, labeling them, and putting them in the right places according to their value.

In his own collection, he adopted a similar method to classify various things according to the age, purchase price, and future value, so that he could find what he needed at any time.

Among the things acquired this time, what Fan Wuxi cares about the most is the Xuande furnace.

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, in order to satisfy his hobby of playing with incense burners, he ordered the import of a batch of red copper from Siam, and instructed the imperial craftsman Lu Zhen and the Ministry of Works Wu Bangzuo to design and supervise the production of incense burners with reference to the styles of firewood kilns, Ru kilns, official kilns, Ge kilns, Jun kilns, and Dingyao famous porcelain in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue" and "Archaeological Map".

In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them together with red copper for more than ten times. After the finished product of the copper incense burner color crystal and warm, is really the Ming Dynasty handicrafts in the treasure, Xuande furnace casting success, opened the precedent of the copper furnace in later generations, in a long period of history, Xuande furnace became the common name of the copper incense burner.

Xuande used this batch of red copper furnaces to cast a total of 3,000 incense burners in three years, and there was no production after that, these Xuande furnaces are hidden in the forbidden palace, and ordinary people only know their names but do not see their shapes. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in three years of real Xuande is extremely rare.

In order to make huge profits, from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, the activities of antique dealers imitating Xuande furnace have never stopped. Just after the Xuande furnace stopped manufacturing, some officials in charge of the "division of casting" summoned the original furnace craftsmen to imitate the Xuande furnace in accordance with the drawings and process procedures.

These carefully cast imitations are comparable to the real ones, and the authority of experts cannot be distinguished, so far there are many Xuande furnaces in the collections of major museums in China, and none of them can be recognized as the real Xuande furnace by many connoisseurs.

In later generations, Fan Wuxian also got a Xuande furnace, which was identified as a fake, for which he was annoyed for a long time, and now he inadvertently received one, so he naturally has to care more.

It is said that the Xuande furnace is made of Siam (Thailand) tribute "wind milled copper", in addition to gold, silver, tin, gems and other more than 30 kinds of raw materials, Xuande furnace ingredients are strict, smelting is particularly refined, generally must go through six to twelve refining.

Xuande copper furnace style is elegant and exquisite, most of them are used in the palace, and only a small part is given to the emperor's relatives or famous ministers of civil and military affairs and the country's famous major temples, ancestral halls and temples. The materials used are exquisite, and the production is extremely sophisticated. In the early years of the Republic of China, a beautiful Xuande furnace often cost hundreds of thousands, which can be described as a priceless treasure. It's just that later, the real Xuande furnace is difficult to see.

The most wonderful thing about Xuande furnace is the color, its color melts inside, and it shines from the gloom. There are more than 40 kinds of colors recorded in historical records, which are loved by the world, and there are many names for their colors. For example, the purple belt with blue and black like eggplant skin is called eggplant color; The black and yellow like the Tibetan scripture paper is called the Tibetan scripture color; black and white with red and yellowish yellow, called brown; If the soil of the old jade is colored, it is called the soil antique; The white and yellow with red and red colors like Tang pears are called Tang pear colors, and there are yellow-red grounds, covered with colorful spots, called imitation Song burnt spots; The spots that are more bright red than the pearl sand are called vermilion spots; Light pork liver color, jujube red, amber, tea powder, crab shell green and so on.

Xiang Yuanbian, a great connoisseur, collector and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said, "The wonder of the Xuan furnace is pearlescent in the treasure color, and it is surging on the outside." ”

The Xuande furnace in front of him, the style is ancient, the whole furnace body is like a dragon coiled in the clouds, the lines are smooth and beautiful, the color is dim and there is a slight clear light, it is warm and moist in the hand, but the weight is extremely heavy, although Fan Wuxian can't be sure whether this is a genuine product, but his intuition tells him that this thing is definitely not those counterfeits that are circulating everywhere on the market.

What makes Fan Wuxian even more excited is that there are ears on the stove, but it is not a simple style, it is still the shape of a beast's head, the design is very ingenious, there is a wrong gold process on the furnace, the furnace is regular, the mark below is clear and exquisite, and the weight has reached more than a dozen catties.

"Red sleeves add incense to read at night, but I don't know whether this incense burner is used for incense or sacrifice, if it is used for royal sacrifices, the value is immeasurable." Fan Wuxian couldn't deduce what was going on after looking at it for a long time, and after Mosuo for a while, he reluctantly put away the incense burner and turned his head to carefully examine other objects.

"Uh, what is this?" Fan Wuxi suddenly found a wooden shell photo frame in a large pile of * supplies, but this photo frame looks very thick and a little bulky, and the portrait inside is naturally the standard portrait of the leader, and the glass on the surface is long gone.

Fan Wuxian couldn't help but flutter when he saw this thing, took it in his hand and weighed it, and felt that it was very weighty, because his current body was really a little small, this photo frame was held in his hand as if he had lifted a big thing, and he shook it up and down, feeling that there seemed to be something moving inside.

Looks like there's something in there! Fan Wuxian realized that there must be a mezzanine in this photo frame, and couldn't help but look forward to it, so he turned the photo frame over and flattened it, and then lifted the small shoe spikes embedded in the back.

After uncovering the fiberboard on the back, there was a relatively thick space, and there was a tarpaulin wrap inside, which looked thick, about two pounds.

"What kind of treasure could it be?" Fan Wuxi was a little excited, and carefully unwrapped the oilcloth bag and spread it on the ground, only to see a large number of colorful things exposed inside.

"Oh my God! Sure enough, it's a good thing! When Fan Wuxian saw it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he even stopped breathing for a while, if there were anyone else in the room, he would definitely be able to hear his heart pounding.

What could be the thing that could make Fan Wuxian feel so excited?
