217. Cultural Relics Exchange Conference (1)

When Ye Zifeng and Cao Ye arrived in Sui City, it was already two days later.

They stayed at the Tianhua Hotel, which was the Sun family's property in Sui City and a stronghold of the Sun family. Because they came to Sui this time, on the surface, they were invited by the Tang family, but in private, they wanted to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, not to mention that the Tang family was not a snake, but a behemoth, so they had to deal with it carefully.

Tianhua Hotel has obviously strengthened its security work, and added many unfamiliar faces, these people are all masters brought by Sun Wu from the Sun family in Shenzhen City.

After everything was settled, Cao Ye contacted the Tang family, and the Tang family asked where Cao Ye lived, and then told Cao Ye that at seven o'clock in the evening, someone would be arranged to come and pick him up.

Cao Ye told the other party on the phone that he had a friend who was interested in cultural relics and hoped to participate. The other party was obviously caught off guard by Cao Ye's request, and after a long time, he told Cao Ye on the phone that he could bring his friends to this exchange conference.

Sun Wu, Luo Qingxue and Li Kai had to stay in the hotel, and only Cao Ye and Ye Zifeng went to attend the Tang family's cultural relics exchange conference.

Although the twelve of them were reluctant, they could only stay in the hotel, and the matter was too mysterious for them to intervene casually.

The Tang family's car was very punctual, after Cao Ye and Ye Zifeng got into the car, the car took them around Sui City, Ye Zifeng was not familiar with Sui City anyway, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated, regardless of what was going on outside the window, wherever the car took him!

This time, Ye Zifeng was also fully prepared, and deliberately brought that Qin brick with him, that Qin brick was a magic weapon with strong mana. But as a cultural relic, its value is not very high, if the Tang family wants to obtain this Qin brick artifact at all costs, then Ye Zifeng and Cao Ye's guess is right.

This is to find out, and it is necessary to do what it likes.

The car finally stopped. Ye Zifeng and Cao Ye got out of the car, only to find that this was an underground parking lot, and there was not a single car in the parking lot, which showed that this should be the Tang family's property.

"Where are we?" After getting out of the car, Cao Ye gently asked Ye Zifeng beside him.

"It should still be in the city!" Ye Zifeng told Cao Ye, and then motioned for Cao Ye to follow the man in black in front.

Although the car drove around for an hour, Ye Zifeng felt that he was still in the city, and he was really hidden in the city. It can be seen that the Tang family is also painstakingly working for this cultural relics exchange conference.

In fact, Ye Zifeng's feeling is still a little wrong, they are not just in the underground parking lot, but with a three-story parking lot.

They followed the man in black to the second floor, which had been completely divided into many large houses, and the decoration was also very luxurious, and the man in black took them to a house, confirmed Cao Ye's identity, and then distributed a mask to Cao Ye, which was a sheep-shaped mask in the zodiac.

What was given to Ye Zifeng was a Astro Boy children's mask, apparently this Astro Boy children's mask was purchased on the street on a temporary basis, and it was far less exquisite than the Zodiac Zodiac mask.

The man in black motioned for Cao Ye and Ye Zifeng to put on their masks, and then led them into a hall.

There were already a lot of people in the hall, all wearing the masks of the zodiac signs and sitting on seats with corresponding zodiac patterns.

Ye Zifeng glanced at it and found that there were people sitting on the seats of rats, oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, and horses, which showed that the masks they distributed were random, and whoever arrived first would take the masks in the order of the zodiac.

Because everyone is wearing masks, even if they knew each other before, they can't recognize them now. Therefore, when Cao Ye and Ye Zifeng came in, everyone was silent.

But when they saw a Astro Boy children's mask walk in, a hint of discoloration flashed in everyone's eyes.

Everyone understands the rules of the Tang family, and only twelve people are invited to participate in each cultural relics exchange conference, and these twelve people just match the twelve zodiac signs, but now there is one more person, and a Astro Boy face has appeared, which has to surprise everyone.

But surprise to surprise, everyone immediately returned to calm, it can be seen that these people have seen the world, and at the same time, they have great trust in the Tang family.

Ye Zifeng saw that everyone was wearing zodiac masks, and only he was Astro Boy's mask, so he didn't care, and sat beside Cao Ye with a golden knife.

Soon, the twelve zodiac signs arrived one after another, and the people of the Tang family did not let everyone wait longer, and the cultural relics exchange conference began immediately.

The two Tang family sat on the main seat, one wearing a red-faced mask in Peking Opera, while the other wearing a Wu dance mask, with protruding eyes and wide mouth, dazzling colors, revealing a fierce and vicious atmosphere.

When these two people appeared, Ye Zifeng clearly felt that they were looking at him behind the mask, especially the person wearing the mask of the dance, Ye Zifeng felt a trace of danger.

And the person wearing the red face mask of Peking Opera is full of yin qi, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable, if Ye Zifeng guessed correctly, this person should be the former head of the Tang family.

The cultural relics exchange conference soon began.

In the order of the 12 zodiac signs, everyone took turns to go on stage, presented the cultural relics they brought to the round table in the middle of the house, and then passed them in order.

The first to present the artifacts was the man wearing the mask of the rat, who brought three objects with him. One piece of porcelain, two pieces of pottery.

To be exact, only one of the two pieces of pottery is complete, and the other is only two-thirds of the shards. It can be seen that this person is a collector of cultural relics who collects porcelain pottery.

Then everyone took turns to look at and get started, Ye Zifeng followed behind Cao Ye, and Ye Zifeng saw a trace of shock in Cao Ye's eyes.

All three of these objects are among the most rare pieces of porcelain pottery in the world of collecting. The porcelain is a secret color porcelain, and the two pieces of black pottery are the famous black pottery of the late Neolithic period.

Secret color porcelain originated in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Five Dynasties. It is rumored that the fifth generation of Wuyue king Qian Hao designated the secret color porcelain as a special porcelain, and the common people were not allowed to use it, which was Wuyue tribute porcelain.

Zhou Hui's "Qingbo Magazine" Zhongyun: "The more you go to the secret color device, the Qian family has a national day, and the things that are enshrined cannot be used by the subordinates, so it is called the secret color."

The Tang Dynasty poet Tortoise Meng also wrote in "The Secret Color of the Yue Weapon": "The kiln is open in the nine autumn winds and dew, and the thousand peaks are green." It is good to be in the middle of the night, and to scatter the cup in the middle of the day".

The characteristics of secret color porcelain are thin tires, smooth surface, uniform glaze, and regular shape.

What the rat masked man brought was a four-petal flower-mouth bowl, with a regular shape and a green color. From the color, it should be porcelain from the middle and late five dynasties. In the early five dynasties, the secret color porcelain was mainly yellow, moist and luster, and translucent; The green color mainly appeared in the late Five Dynasties.

Ye Zifeng could conclude that this secret color four-petal flower mouth bowl should be from the late fifth dynasty. It's a pity that two of the four-petal flower mouth bowls have a flaw in the mouth. The punch is the crack on the edge of the mouth glaze. Although its punch is not large, it affects the quality and naturally affects its value.

His other two utensils, one is an eggshell black pottery cup in good condition, and the other is just a black pottery fragment, judging from the shape of the vessel, this black pottery fragment should be a water container.

It is rumored that black pottery began in Shun, and it has been more than 6,000 years ago, so black pottery has the saying of Shun pottery.

The characteristics of black pottery are "thin as paper, black as lacquer, bright as a mirror, and sound as loud". And because its tire wall is extremely thin, it is also known as "eggshell pottery".

And this eggshell black pottery cup, the shape is delicate and delicate, the base of the circle foot, the slender handle is high, the middle is open, the upper part is slightly open, the whole is unglazed and the paint is bright like a mirror, the carcass is very thin, like the modern high-legged red wine glass, it is a rare treasure in the black pottery.

Among the existing black pottery, the Lu Provincial Museum has a collection of eggshell black pottery goblets with similar shapes.
