374, Cixi's belongings

It's been a long time since I've shouted.,I'm shouting today.,It's been updated for a few days.,The update will be normal until it's finished.。

Brothers, if you are watching, you can also shout, cast a vote, everyone cheer-

"We heard that you are very interested in the Empress Dowager's belongings, so we specially asked the staff to gather together last night and this morning, and put them in an exhibition hall, I forgot to tell you before, so you can't see it." Druyer explained with a smile.

"I see, no wonder I can't find it."

"So, let's take a look now?"

Curator Cade was also busy late last night to get this thing done. In fact, all Kaide wanted was to exchange a few of Cixi's belongings with Wang Tian.

After Cade explained, Wang Tian realized this, and said with great interest. "Well, you put everything together, and you save me the need to find it. Let's go over then. Mr. Yasumasa Muratani, if it's okay, let's go together? ”

Wang Tian shouted to Yasumasa Kamimuratani, but the latter was preoccupied at the moment.

"Mr. Wang Tian, I still want to discuss something with you before I go, I don't know."

Yasumasa Muratani was still thinking about the Katana of the Demon King Muramasa, and Imped never said that he would sell the knife to himself, and Yasuya Muratani wanted to confirm it.

Wang Tian smiled. "Good. Curator Cade, wait a minute. ”

Wang Tian and Muratani Taizheng took a few steps forward and took a step to speak.

"How. Mr. Muratani, what doubts do you have? ”

Yasumasa Muratani was blunt.

"Mr. Wang Tian, I still have to tell you about my katana. Although there is nothing wrong with the price. But Wang Tian. I still have to confirm with you, talk about this matter first, and I will have the bottom in my heart. ”

Muratani Yasumasa always had a big stone in his heart, and Wang Tian certainly understood his feelings.

"Mr. Muratani, to be honest, I haven't thought about this yet. I don't think there's a hurry in this matter, so let's accompany me to see the Empress Dowager Cixi's belongings first, right? ”

"Nope. I would also like to mention that the antique of the katana is about 100,000 euros in our country, and this one is of course different. So. How about you see me pay 300,000 euros?

This knife is the long knife of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, and it is not only the only one in France, but it is difficult to find the same Muramasa knife in Japan and even in the world.

300,000 euros seriously. It's not that high.

Wang Tian actually didn't care too much about this. But Muratani Taizheng looked at Wang Tian and didn't speak, thinking that the former thought it was not enough, so he immediately changed his words. "Mr. Wang Tian, then I will pay 500,000 euros to redeem this katana, what do you think?"

Taro Muratani is indeed a rich man, and he will add 300,000 to 500,000 euros and say it casually, and it seems that he has the intention of continuing to add it.

But Wang Tian is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and 500,000 euros is for him. It's not much of a temptation. What's more important is that Wang Tian didn't want to make money with this katana at all.

"Alright. Mr. Muratani, I think I'll give you this katana, the price is really not that critical. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. If you believe me, you can accompany me to see the treasure of our Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, in fact, what I arranged is that if I have something I like, you can directly pay for it for me, and I should exchange it with your demon king village. You can rest assured, the price will definitely not exceed your Demon King Muramasa. ”

Wang Tian actually thought about Yi Bao from the beginning.

Saying that he took money from Mr. Muratani, he really didn't know how to speak.

"Well, that's good. In that case, if you fancy any treasure of the Queen Mother, I will buy it for you. ”

Muratani Taizheng didn't know that Wang Tian's trick killed two birds with one stone, he only had a treasure Old Testament, so it was really not suitable to exchange.

On the contrary, he asked Muratani Taizheng to help him and collect more treasures, plus this is a rich man, he doesn't care about these, just for the demon king Muramasa knife, it can be linked.

Wang Tian invited Mr. Muratani next, and Muratani Taizheng knew that Wang Tian wanted to redeem the treasures of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and after agreeing happily, he went with Wang Tian for a while.

This dedicated pavilion is right next door to the Asia Pavilion, so it didn't go very far at all.

But this hall is not for everyone to find, but here there is a secret door, after pressing the button I don't know, this door appeared, after opening the door, there was no one inside.

The director of CapitaLand told Wang Tian that this hall is not open to the public, but is only prepared to meet some special tourists, and it is only open seven or eight times a day at most.

Wang Tian is naturally a special tourist today.

Wang Tian and his entourage entered the hall, and the strong ancient atmosphere here immediately came to their faces, because here is not only the treasure that Wang Tian thinks, but also the furniture, calligraphy and painting works, bronze ware, including carvings, are also in the style of the Qing Dynasty.

All of these things seem to have something to do with Cixi, but if you look closely, many of them are also forced on the Empress Dowager Cixi.

However, if you want to say that Cixi's belongings here are really all-inclusive.

The first is a lacquer incense burner in this room, which is very high.

It is composed of three parts: the bottom foot with the mud, the belly furnace body and the head Ryoma stove cover.

The dragon horse on the lid of this furnace is the dragon head with flying wings, the belly and feet of the furnace are connected to the turtle, and the furnace foot is the trunk.

Looking at the whole treasure furnace, the appearance is concise, the standard is atmospheric, simple but not simple, ancient but not crude, ethereal but not empty. Its relief turtle face is made of lacquer, the details are delicate and simple, the beast is dynamic and expressive, and the dragon horse on the stove lid is full of strength and dynamics.

And the whole incense burner on the spiritual gas is overflowing, full of the whole furnace, especially the appearance of the furnace body black lacquer, cinnabar substrate painted gold, the lacquer surface is smooth as new, very exquisite, coupled with the color calm and smooth, thick pulp, the lacquer incense burner is indeed a perfect work, flawless.

This lacquer incense burner is the most eye-catching in the hall, and it is also the largest. Place it in this hall. It is also because this lacquer incense burner is the most representative collection of lacquerware works of the Qing Dynasty, including many of these techniques.

Also, this incense burner is also magnificent. Painting, carving, and casting are all embodied in the most vivid Qing Dynasty art.

This lacquer incense burner, Wang Tian wrote down.

Then Wang Tian was asked to see again that there were many jadeite products here.

Wang Tian knew that Cixi loved jadeite, but what Wang Tian never expected was that the Empress Dowager Cixi's jadeite was so different.

Don't say anything about the glass species, imperial green, that is the seed water of jadeite. Texture, the Empress Dowager Cixi's jade is better than the shape, it can be said. A piece of jadeite with a good natural shape is immediately transformed into a stunning work after such a slight processing.

Here, there is a jade watermelon that looks very much like a watermelon, with green skin and red scoops and sunspots. I don't know which craftsman is the craftsman. Wang Tian couldn't help but marvel at this jadeite gifted wonderhorse, and even he was inspired at the moment, and then he remembered what Ning Yi mentioned about carving from carving series products to teaching according to aptitude.

Also, in addition to the jade watermelon, there is also a series of jade vegetables, including jade cabbage and jade radish. Emerald tomatoes.

Imagine the entire jade vegetable series, if you sell it in a package, you may not be able to buy it for hundreds of millions of dollars.

What Wang Tian likes the most is the carving of a jade cucumber. This jade cucumber is carved like the original, and basically you will think it is a cucumber when you look at it.

This cucumber is expensive because it has a good shape and is good for planting water.

It is a glass imperial green, which combines green and shape flawlessly, which can be described as the best of nature and texture.

In addition to jadeite, among the Empress Dowager Cixi's belongings, the most dazzling ones are those beads.

That's right, what Wang Tian sees now is the night pearl of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

It is said that the night pearl of the Empress Dowager Cixi in ancient China is also attributed to the Empress Dowager Cixi's love for rare treasures, and she collected a lot of beads in her lifetime.

Beads of course have sapphires, rubies, jade and more.

But what the Empress Dowager Cixi can't put down the most is his night pearl.

There are a total of ten night pearls of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and originally these beads stayed quietly on Cixi's head, decorated with the majesty and dignity of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Eight-Nation Coalition entered the capital, and Cixi, who was on the run, tried her best to please others. In the end, he selected four of the ten night pearls in his phoenix crown and sent a palace maid surnamed Wang to send them away. But this palace maid did not give the Night Pearl to the foreigners, but brought the Night Pearl to the people.

As for the circulation of these four night pearls among the Chinese people, they are also protected from being stolen later.

The other five small night pearls and the big one, the Empress Dowager Cixi most of them were brought into her own mausoleum, and many years later were stolen by Sun Dianying, who robbed the tomb with many funerary goods, until later, five pearls were recovered in China, and three were bought by foreigners and flowed abroad.

The whereabouts of two orbs are still unknown.

Wang Tian just looked at the current night pearl with the naked eye, it was very gorgeous.

As if absorbing too much moonlight, it itself has a brilliance emanating out, in this hall, and the light, it is getting brighter and brighter, it glows yellow or green light, Chu Chu is moving, like a girl lying next to Wang Tian, the light color makes Wang Tian can't help but want to touch.

Wang Tian had heard the legend of the Night Pearl before, and although this one was beautiful, it would not be Cixi's favorite one.

I have to say more here, these ten night pearls are used as the funeral objects of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but they are not put together, they are mostly worn on the head and placed by the side, but one is held in the mouth of Cixi, and the most famous is of course the one in Cixi's mouth after her death.

It is known as 36 colors, 72 xia, 108 lights.

This one with the brilliance of the night pearl in the mouth is attractive, and it is naturally the best in the night pearl.

History has recorded that the night pearl in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi, it weighs four taels and two coins and seven cents, divided into two pieces, closed is a round ball, separated transparent and lightless, when closed reveals a green cold light, the hair can be seen within 100 steps at night.

Cixi held it in her mouth to protect the body, and its value was the same as that of an egg-sized pearl on Cixi's phoenix crown, which was more than 10 million taels of silver, and it was a real rare treasure.

At this time, Director Druyer said. "At the beginning of our Louvre Pavilion, there were three pearls of the night. Now there is only one left, the other two, one dedicated to our Queen Theresa, who is accessorized. The other is in the ChΓ’teau de Fontainebleau. "However, this pearl of the night is the size of the palm of your hand, and it is dazzling. It is the largest of the three night pearls. ”

Wang Tian listened to Druye's words, and his heart had already thought of other places.

Night Pearl, Wang Tian's entire thinking is on the Night Pearl at this time.

Wang Tian knows that the night pearl is a rare treasure, the night pearl was called "with the pearl", "hanging pearl", "hanging thorn", "bright moon pearl" and so on, but in fact, the night pearl that people say refers to fluorescent, luminous stone.

It is some of the luminescent material in the earth that was erupted by the first magma. Later geological movements, which were formed by gathering in ores, contain these luminous rare elements. After processing, it is what people call the pearl of the night.

And because such a night pearl was formed in a special geological movement, there is little hope of finding a few more now.

"Mr. Wang Tian. What do you think of this pearl of the night? ”

Cade saw that the former did not speak. Keep asking.

Wang Tianshen thought about it. "Oh, this night pearl is really good, and I like it when it shines with a green light. Mr. Yasumasa Muratani, what do you think? ”

Yasumasa Muratani will also be fascinated by this.

Being able to follow Wang Tian to appreciate the treasure together, Muratani Yasumasa felt that he had not come in vain.

He nodded frequently.

"I've seen the Night Pearl twice in my life. It's just that the night pearl I've seen is not as beautiful as this, and this one is definitely the palm pearl among the night pearls. ”

Yasumasa Muratani seems to have studied the Night Pearl, and he will say to the beads. "This night pearl has a green aperture, and the night pearl often has yellow-green, light blue, orange-red and other colors. We put fluorescent stone under a white fluorescent lamp and it glows beautifully. This obvious luminosity is weak during the day and strong at night. It's daytime, and it's not that beautiful. But at night, its brilliance must be even more dazzling. ”

Caed, that's going to be a bit of an admirer of the Japanese.

agreed, "You are very right, the luminous characteristics of the night pearl are the weak day and the strong night. This is where its name comes from. In addition, some handicrafts also use the characteristics of fluorite to make some ornaments with the name of "Night Pearl". ”

"Moreover, because of the rarity, rarity, nobility, magnificence, and mystery of the Night Pearl, it is generally the exclusive property of the powerful royal family. Like your Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, as the Empress Dowager who enjoyed life the most in the history of the Qing Dynasty, she is naturally very interested in this kind of thing. I've heard at least one such story. It was the Empress Dowager Cixi who tried her best to search for all kinds of jewels in her life, and there were ten of the Night Pearls. You have five in China, three abroad, and the other two are missing, and I think you should be very interested in this one. ”

Of course, Wang Tian was interested, looking at Wang Tian's expectant gaze, Muratani Tai Zhengdao. "This pearl of the night is good, but it's a bit monotonous to have only this one. However, you can accept this one and slowly look for other night pearls. I'm interested in how much is this night pearl worth? ”

Yasumasa Muratani asked, Druyer said. "This pearl of the night is the better of the ten pearls of the night, and it is worth 100,000 euros. But if Mr. Wang Tian also thinks that one is monotonous, we can also take out the one from the Fontainebleau Palace. ”

One is naturally not attractive enough, but even if it is two, Wang Tian feels that it is not enough. He smiled, "Director Cade, Director Drouille, if you look at it this way, I will go to the Palace of Fontainebleau anyway, I like this pearl of the night very much, and I still think that this lacquerware incense burner is not bad, as for those jade, I think it is better to forget it, although it is beautiful, but I don't catch a cold." ”

Wang Tian is not cold, but Wang Tian has a lot of jadeite, and there will be strange shapes in his jadeite, and the carving skills, Wang Tian is confident that he can also produce amazing works.

"Then Mr. Wang Tian, are you interested in our lacquer incense burner and night pearl, so it seems that the four treasures have been collected?"

Wang Tian smiled.

This transaction is indeed not far from the date of closing.

But at this moment, Yasumasa Muratani spoke. "Director Kaide, you just said that this night pearl is 100,000 euros, I think, I can help Mr. Wang Tian buy it, but I don't know how much this lacquer incense burner costs?"

Before Wang Tian could say anything, he immediately liked it. "Yes, Mr. Muraya, you want to help me redeem this treasure, then I really don't know what to say. Since you're going to help me redeem it, I'm sure Curator Cade and Curator Druyer won't be unadult. Right? ”

Wang Tian and Muratani Tai are acting, and they were supposed to be exchanged, but at the moment, Muratani Tai is just going to send Wang Tian, which makes Director Kaide and Druje inside and outside not people.

"Well, Mr. Muratani, we don't sell it to the outside world."

"How can you exchange with me and not sell out, then you mean something that you want to deceive me. If you are so insincere, then I don't need to look at the treasure from you, that's all. ”

Wang Tian was angry, and Su Lele giggled on the side, this was like a joke and a serious occasion, and Kaide really didn't know what to do.

If you don't agree, you can't estimate it.

If you agree, I'm afraid you have to find two treasures somewhere, how good is this?

"Mr. Wang Tian, we didn't mean that, okay, we sold it to Mr. Muratani, according to the price of 100,000 euros for the Night Pearl, 300,000 euros for the lacquer incense burner, a total of 400,000 euros."

400,000 euros, I don't know if it's a coincidence or a fate, this just solved the matter between Wang Tian and Muratani Yasumasa about the demon king Muramasa katana.

The knife was 300,000 euros, and he paid 500,000 euros to buy it, and the 400,000 euros of CapitaLand's curator was exactly in between.

Yasushi Muratani and Wang Tian looked at each other and smiled, and then Yasuya Muratani said to Curator Kaide. "Okay, then 400,000 euros, deal!" (To be continued......)
