[37 Seeing the Light of Day Again]
When I returned to rent, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Li sat on the sofa, put the porcelain bottle on the coffee table and looked at it several times, but still couldn't see where this bottle was valuable, so he had to ask Lin Yunuo: "Okay, now that there is no one, please tell me the story of this bottle, how did you have a relationship with him?" ”
"I vaguely remember that it was about 600 years ago, when the emperor's name was Zhu Zhanji, which is what you now call Ming Xuanzong. In the third year of Xuande, there was an official named Wang Boyong, and his position was that of the Ministry of Works. In this year, the Yellow River overflowed, and floods broke out in the mountain/east, river/south area, this Wang Boyong made a contribution to the disaster, and the emperor rewarded him with a pair of priceless porcelain vases......"
Jiang Li was addicted to smoking, lit one, took a puff and asked, "What are you kidding?" The bottle rewarded by the emperor is worth 100,000? ”
Lin Yunuo glanced at him, "Can you listen to me?" ”
"Okay, I was wrong, I forgot that I should maintain the demeanor of a general, Lin Huxian, please continue to ......" Jiang Li flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers into the ashtray and said.
This Wang Boyong was a cautious man, and he was worried that if the porcelain vase rewarded by the emperor was stolen, he would be impeached on the pretext of disrespecting the emperor. So I discussed with my son and asked him to find an excellent ceramic craftsman and make a blue and white porcelain coat to wrap outside......"
"What, you say this porcelain vase we're seeing now is a bottle in a bottle?" Jiang Li asked in great surprise.
Lin Yunuo nodded and said affirmatively: "That Chinese New Year's Eve, I went out to find a prey with aura to cultivate, and happened to lurk on the roof of the royal mansion, and overheard this conversation between Wang Boyong's father and son. Wang Boyong told his son that the pair of porcelain vases should be passed on to future generations as heirlooms, and the secrets of the bottles should not be revealed, otherwise in the face of this priceless treasure, the descendants would probably not be able to restrain their greed and sell it......"
"Passed down from generation to generation, whoever can discover the secret of this porcelain bottle shows that he has a relationship with this bottle. In order to prevent his children and grandchildren from selling this porcelain vase, Wang Boyong asked his son to find a craftsman who did not have to be exquisite, and as a mark, he deliberately drew one less person on the shell of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Over the years, perhaps the descendants of the Wang family have not found that the Eight Immortals are missing one person, it may be that they thought that the painter was careless and painted one less person, so this porcelain vase is worthless; It's like chicken ribs, it's a pity to abandon it, it's tasteless to eat, it's passed down from generation to generation, and by chance, we met it......"
Jiang Li listened to it like a dream, and felt that it was almost the same as the plot in the movie, and when Lin Yunuo finished speaking, he still said in disbelief: "Are you sure that what you are telling me is not your fictional story, but the real facts?" ”
"That's why I asked you to buy tools for cutting ceramics, and if you think you're smart enough, take off the bottom of this porcelain vase, so that if there's still a bottle hidden in it, you'll find out." Lin Yunuo pushed the ceramic knife in front of Jiang Li and urged.
Jiang Li pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, moved his finger and said: "I am quite proficient in art, and sculpture is also my special hobby. ”
Get up and grab a desk lamp to make sure the light on the coffee table is bright enough. Jiang Li half-knelt in front of the coffee table, holding the ceramic knife in his hand, and began to carefully operate on the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Bottle, rotating the ceramic knife in his hand and gently cutting the bottom of the bottle. Knowing that this was a precious treasure, Jiang Li's movements were extremely cautious, and every time he went down, he had to test it slowly, lest he hurt the imperial treasure bottle inside, which was the real treasure.
After nearly an hour of meticulous carving, the bottom of the Eight Immortals bottle was completely cut down, and there was indeed a layer of bottom inside, with the help of the light, you can see that the porcelain at the bottom of the bottle inside is delicate, smooth, and bright.
"Huh...... There was a bottle inside, which was amazing! The effort was not in vain, Jiang Li was overjoyed, although his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his whole body was soaked with sweat, he didn't care about wiping it.
Lin Yunuo was also very happy, and said happily: "I said it a long time ago, this is a bottle in a bottle, if this Wang Shilang father and son made other markers, I may not be able to remember, but back then, the father and son discussed drawing one less Lan Caihe among the Eight Immortals, and this incident was particularly impressive to me." Coupled with today's analysis by the professor surnamed Li that this is indeed an item from the Xuanzong period, I am sure that this must be a treasure handed down by the Wang family. ”
Jiang Li got up and took a cold shower in the bathroom, and came back to continue working. The bottom of the porcelain vase is narrower than the abdomen, and it is impossible to pull out the bottle directly inside, and the outer layer must be destroyed first. Jiang Li took out a small pair of tweezers from his luggage, which he used to dissect when he was in biology class, and then used the tweezers to clamp the outer layer of porcelain, carefully breaking it off piece by piece, and the porcelain bottle inside was wrapped in a layer of tin foil, so there was no need to worry about damaging the bottle inside.
After more than two hours of busyness, at two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Li finally peeled off the outer layer of porcelain bottles, revealing a round and jade bottle inside, only to see that the bottle was uniform in color and luster, and the texture was delicate, and the picture was a part of the Qingming Riverside picture, and the characters and trees in the painting were lifelike, and they did not need to look carefully, but they only needed to look carefully to conclude that this bottle was worth a lot.
In addition to marveling at the magic of the "Qingming Shanghe Picture Bottle", Jiang Li also admired the craftsmanship of the craftsman who fired the "Eight Immortal Bottles" outside. It's also a remarkable thing to be able to hide one bottle in another, and it's so hard to be noticed, that you wouldn't be able to do without great craftsmanship.
"Tsk...... This bottle has finally been seen again, but I don't know where this bottle comes from and how much it is worth? Jiang Li sat on the sofa and drank water, admiring the bottle that had been dug out by his own hands, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Yunuo shook his head: "I can't answer this for you, you'd better find a professional to consult tomorrow." ”
Jiang Li nodded, and decided to call Shen Miaoyan tomorrow and ask her to help him contact a cultural relics expert to help him firm. Shen Miaoyan is the editor of the newspaper and a member of the Writers' Association, so she must know a cultural relics expert who also belongs to the cultural circle, and it is only fitting to ask her for help.
When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and after a hurried breakfast, Jiang Li dialed Shen Miaoyan's phone, first chatted a few words, and then went straight to the topic, asking her to help her find a cultural relics expert to identify the antiques in her hand.
Shen Miaoyan was surprised and said, "Uh...... I can't imagine that you still play with cultural relics, your hobbies are really extensive, you are looking for me to find the right one. Mr. Su Zhenyuan, the number one collector in Jianghuai Province, is friends with the director of our newspaper, Guan Guan, and I have had the privilege of visiting his house several times. I happened to be resting today, so I'll accompany you to Su's house! ”
"That's the best thing to do." Jiang Li hurriedly thanked him, and he couldn't wait to meet the goddess again.
Shen Miaoyan smiled and said, "If you make a fortune, don't forget to invite me to dinner!" ”
Jiang Li patted his chest and packed the ticket: "Of course, even if there is no such thing, I should also invite you, a great writer, thank you for your hospitality last time." You wait for me at home, I'll drive to the Royal View Villa to pick you up right now. ”
Jiang Li didn't want to take Lin Yunuo out of the house, how uncomfortable it was to have a light bulb next to her on a date with a goddess, although her appearance was a fox, but she had a heart that was extremely jealous, what if she looked at Shen Miaoyan and froze her?
But in order to see the beauty of the goddess Jiang Li, Lin Yunuo had to follow her. Jiang Li had no choice, so he had to make an appointment with the little fox for three chapters, one was not to be jealous, the second was not to ask too many questions, and the third was not allowed to use spells.
Lin Yunuo snorted: "You think I want to take care of you, I followed you to spy on you, I was afraid that you would sell the bottle and come back and lie about the price and fill your pocket, so I wouldn't suffer a big loss!" ”
Jiang Li knew that Lin Yunuo was duplicitous, and knew that she definitely didn't think like this, and she wanted to meet Shen Miaoyan, but there was no way to stop Lin Yunuo from letting her follow, so she had to secretly decide to pay attention to the distance from the goddess at that time, so as not to make the little fox jealous.
