Chapter 1125: Treasures of the Nation [2]
At first, Liu Yuhao thought that what the old man said was nothing more than a prevarication, but Charlie soon heard the news and rushed over, and after some explanation, Liu Yuhao knew that the old man was not trying to deceive himself.
Thinking about it, in order to successfully get the Sun King's helmet, Charlie has already offered a high price of "regardless of the number of pieces", where do you really care about sending one or two more collections to Liu Yuhao.
Obviously, Liu Yuhao is not the kind of person who gives up easily when he encounters the slightest obstacle.
"Your Highness Charlie, if I'm not mistaken, you promised from the beginning that anything in your collection room could be exchanged for the Sun King's Helmet, right?"
Liu Yuhao smiled lightly.
"But, Mr. Liu, you must know that not all the collections in this house are owned by me alone, and I have no right to dispose of many antiques."
Charlie was stunned, sighed innocently, and seemed to have infinite grievances between his words.
Ay! The three generations of kings also have difficulties!
"Mr. Charlie, I doubt your sincerity and integrity right now."
Liu Yuhao said.
Good guy, from His Royal Highness to Mr., Liu Yuhao didn't save Charlie any face, and he turned his face when he said it.
"No, that's not the case, Mr. Liu, don't get me wrong, I'm really sincere in exchanging with you the helmet of His Royal Highness King Louis XIV."
Charlie was taken aback, shaking his head and waving his hands at a loss, as if there was infinite grief in his eyes.
Hearing Liu Yuhao's accusation against Charlie, the old man was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly organized words to defend Charlie, "Mr. Liu, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has paid enough sincerity, is your condemnation a bit too much." ”
In Europe, if a person's integrity is questioned, it is undoubtedly the hardest blow to that person.
Even just an ordinary person can't afford to have his integrity questioned, let alone Charlie, who is the crown prince? Once today's filth spreads, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be an irreparable disaster for the entire royal family.
The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
Only Zhou Xi, who had no heart and lungs, drank the wine in his hand beautifully, as if he was unaware of the embarrassing atmosphere in front of him.
Zhou Xi is true, he even did not hesitate to spend tens of millions to compete for a front seat with Xue Haoran, and he was a second ancestor, but the strange thing is that no matter how much Zhou Xi messed around, he was never severely punished.
Of course, it's not that no one wants to rectify Zhou Xi, but people with that kind of thinking racked their brains and found that Zhou Xi's arrogance and domineering behavior is true, but he has never done anything stupid that can put him in prison.
On the contrary, Peng Yiyang's unruly sons and gentlemen could not cover Zhou Xi, but later they affected their families, and they did not end well.
Later, Liu Yuhao concluded that Zhou Xi was a smart-stirring stick.
Glancing at Zhou Xi with a wicked smile on his face, Liu Yuhao's old face turned red, glared at him weakly, and turned around and said, "Okay Charlie, I'll take back what I said just now." ”
Charlie shrugged helplessly, but his expression was like that of a child who had made a mistake, and he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Liu, the door of the room can be opened, but if you take a fancy to a private collection that does not belong to me, I really can't fulfill my promise." Liu Yuhao was snickering in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on his face, and said seriously: "That's it, a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, and I will naturally listen to His Royal Highness Charlie's arrangement after I go in." ”
"Poof"
Zhou Xi finally didn't hold back, a sip of red wine spurted out, and the ground was full of shocking brightness
After the room was opened, Zhou Xi was the first to rush in unceremoniously in order to confirm his thoughts.
"Damn, this is from the Vikings."
When he saw the room full of 14th-century European gold and silver vessels, diamonds the size of pigeon's eggs, dazzling red sapphires, and night pearls the size of a baby's fist, he rudely opened his mouth in surprise and roared in the shape of "oh".
Fortunately, Charlie didn't understand what Zhou Xi was talking about, and they had seen a lot of the frightened expression that Zhou Xi showed after entering the room, so they didn't care.
"Fourth, since you have entered Baoshan, how can you return empty-handed."
Zhou Xi swallowed, turned around and hooked Liu Yuhao's neck, and squeezed his eyes at him with an obscene expression.
Liu Yuhao blushed for a while, pushed Zhou Xi's hand away, rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to do." ”
"What else can you do, snatch his dog, what kind of day!"
Zhou Xi knew that Charlie couldn't understand his words, so he had no scruples, and looked at the dazzling array of precious things in front of him unscrupulously, and began to value those treasures with amazing calculations in his heart.
Liu Yuhao didn't wait for Zhou Xi to speak again, he snorted disdainfully, widened the distance between the two, and his eyes wandered back and forth in the room of less than fifty square meters, as if he was looking for something.
"Tut-tut"
Zhou Xiyi was still unfinished, and a person next to him sighed, and said: "Damn, it's good to be the crown prince, if Lao Tzu has so many treasures, he will still be worried about a fart in this life, and he will not be able to eat and drink for eight lifetimes when he lies there."
The old man had probably only heard that the things stored in this room were priceless, but it was the first time he had actually come in, so the shock on his face was no better than Zhou Xi's, and he also looked at everything in the room dumbfounded.
"Mr. Liu, this secret room is mainly stocked with precious jewels from Europe from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries."
After a while, Charlie took the initiative to come forward to act as a narrator for Liu Yuhao.
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, pointed at Zhou Xi and said with a joke: "No wonder His Highness wants to make a secret room here, if these treasures are all that gentleman's, he will find the army to act as security." ”
Zhou Xi was dumbfounded: "What's the matter with me again!" ”
Charlie and Liu Yuhao glanced at each other and laughed heartily.
There are many treasures in the secret room, but Liu Yuhao was a little disappointed in his heart, when he passed through this secret room just now, Liu Yuhao instinctively found that there was a cheerful aura coming out of the secret room, and it was the strong aura attraction that made Liu Yuhao insist on entering this room to take a look.
But Liu Yuhao didn't expect that after entering the room, he searched for a long time but found nothing.
"Could it be that I just had a delusion in my own head?"
Liu Yuhao frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.
But that cheerful and jumping aura is too familiar, and he has never encountered it since he walked out of Kunlun Mountain, Liu Yuhao has enough reason to believe that his judgment just now will not be deviated.
Just as he was about to release his ability to inspect again, Liu Yuhao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and something caught his eye not far from his right hand.
Charlie also noticed Liu Yuhao's strange appearance, followed his gaze, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, I really forgot that there is an antique from the East in the room." ”
As he spoke, Charlie walked quickly towards Liu Yuhao's right hand, and after a while, he turned on the riot-proof glass cover switch, "Mr. Liu, this is a snuff box from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, I like it very much." ”
Charlie didn't hide his love for the snuffbox in his heart, and without waiting for Liu Yuhao to speak, he couldn't wait to introduce Liu Yuhao: "Mr. Liu, please see, this snuffbox is hollowed out of the whole pearl, and the button is made of tortoiseshell material."
No one expected that Liu Yuhao would ignore Charlie talking to him, and walked directly to the glass shelf where the snuffbox was placed just now, and bent down slightly to carefully examine a piece of porcelain.
"This, this is Tianmu porcelain from the East?"
The old man frowned in confusion at first, and when he saw clearly the porcelain that Liu Yuhao was looking at, his body shook suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Yuhao turned his head, nodded and smiled with appreciation, and said, "The old gentleman is right, this is the oil drip cup of the Song Dynasty." ”
"What Tianmu porcelain? What is the kiln oil dripping pot? ”
Charlie was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man puzzled, and finally returned his gaze to Liu Yuhao, and said, "Mr. Liu, what are you two talking about, why can't I understand it at all?" ”
Liu Yuhao smiled, picked up the porcelain on the glass shelf and put it in the palm of his hand like a treasure, and said: "In the early Song Dynasty of our country, with the transformation of the way of tea tasting from decoction to drinking, a custom called tea fighting also arose among the folk in northern Fujian. ”
"Tea fights? Why fight? ”
Charlie frowned, he could only literally understand what Liu Yuhao was trying to express, but he didn't know what its essence was.
Liu Yuhao replied with a smile: "The so-called tea fight, also known as the tea battle, is to decide the victory or defeat of both sides of the duel with a fighting attitude. ”
The old man's main research major in the museum is oriental antiques, so he naturally knows a lot about the history of tea fighting, so he added: "In the Song Dynasty in the East, tea fighting was not only to determine the quality of tea, but also to pursue spiritual pleasure in an artistic tea event. In the process of continuously advancing the art of tea fighting to a higher realm, the quality of tea sets also needs to be continuously improved in order to meet the needs.
When the tea bucket is popular throughout China to reach its peak, it is necessary to have a very high artistic taste of the tea cup in order to fit with the aesthetic mood of the tea fighter, and the ceramic art boutique Tianmu porcelain full of the spirit of Chinese culture is in the Song Dynasty in the context of the national tea fight, and a lot of manpower and material resources are invested to create. ”
This time, Charlie probably understood, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Mr. Liu, are you saying that you Orientals have specially created a new porcelain firing method in order to compete whose tea is good or bad?" ”
"It's a tea fight, fool!"
Zhou Xi rubbed his nose and muttered with an unhappy face.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Actually, this is not difficult to understand, just like Westerners created goblets in order to show the beauty of wine." ”
In fact, the beauty of Jianzhan is shown through texture, which just symbolizes the aesthetics of the tea family in the Song Dynasty, and the aesthetics of the tea family is rooted in the ideological system of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and pays attention to the deep, connotative, refined and intriguing beauty; The focus is on artistic conception, rather than simply the issue of form and color. Therefore, to appreciate tea cups like oil droplets, you not only need to know the basic knowledge of firing, but also to have an in-depth understanding of the aesthetic concept of the tea family, which is as simple as Liu Yuhao said.
