Chapter Seventy-Eight: Take Your Pick
Colored glass, in fact, is a kind of artificial crystal, which is a by-product of the refining of bronze.
However, the earliest record of the circulation of colored glass was in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
In the early days of Zhenguan, the glaze was very rare and rare, and it was even more valuable.
The glazed ware on display on the middle case is available in various colors, and it is very exquisite.
The crowd watching was fascinated and loved.
And the most valuable thing is a crystal cup in the middle.
This is not glass, but real crystal.
Crystals, mined from underground ores, are extremely rare.
Crystals come in a variety of colors, including colorless and colorful.
And this crystal cup placed in the middle is colorless.
Of course, it also contains a little impurity and some variegation.
Naturally occurring.
In fact, it is rare in the world to have such a color and such a crystal clear.
This crystal cup is absolutely priceless!
The kind that can be used as a family heirloom for generations.
Wang Changqing observed everyone's reactions, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what you think of this batch of glassware and this crystal cup?" ”
"Oh, it's so subtle, it's beautiful!"
"It's so beautiful, it's so exquisite! Wang Gongzi, I don't know if this glazed ware is for sale? ”
"I don't know what the price of this glassware is?"
Hearing this, Wang Changqing couldn't help but smile and said:
"These glazed wares are naturally very exquisite and precious."
"My Wang family also got it unintentionally, I can't bear to hide my secrets, and I am willing to share it with you."
"There is no ready-made price available for these glassware."
"So, after some deliberations, we decided to hold an auction in seven days!"
"If you like it, you can participate in the auction, and the highest bidder wins!"
"Seven days later, Wang Jiagong invites everyone to come."
Well?
Auctions?
This Wang family can do business.
This mind is very advanced.
However, this time, the Wang family reminded Li Su.
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly, took a step forward, came to the table, raised his hand from the middle, took out the crystal cup, and played with it in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Wang Changqing hurriedly reminded: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, this crystal cup is very valuable, please be careful, don't miss it." ”
Before the words fell, Li Su's hand slipped, and the crystal cup fell to the ground.
Crystals are actually very hard, and it is difficult to scratch even with a knife.
But just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not brittle.
fell to the ground, and suddenly fell to pieces, shattered all over the ground.
This scene stunned everyone at the scene.
Some people regret, some exclaim, and some gloat.
Wang Changqing was even more furious.
What Wang Changqing regrets is not a crystal cup.
The crystal cup is precious, but as one of the five surnames and seven hopes, the Wang family has not really taken it to heart.
The most important thing is that the crystal cup is broken, which will affect the auction they will start in seven days.
Because it was this crystal cup that was the finale of the auction.
Now that the crystal cup has been broken, which auction will inevitably drop a notch.
Wang Changqing said with a pale face: "Your Highness, the villain has already reminded you, why are you so careless?" ”
Li Yu sighed and said: "I originally took it well, but because of your reminder, I was bluffed, and I was not careful, and I broke the crystal cup by mistake." ”
"But you can rest assured, no matter what, after all, it was the king who broke it, and the king will naturally compensate him."
"In this king's mansion, there are also some crystal cups, this king ordered someone to take them, and the prince chose one by himself."
"Laifu, why don't you go get the crystal cup!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Hey?
In the palace of the king of Shu, there is actually a crystal cup?
And, listening to the meaning of the King of Shu, there is more than one crystal cup in their house?
Some people at the scene couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions on their faces.
It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Shu broke the crystal cup on purpose!
Interesting!
It's really interesting!
It didn't take long for Laifu to take a group of people to take the crystal cup.
This speed is also a little faster.
It's definitely not going back to the Shu Palace.
The Shu King's Mansion is still some distance away from here.
Unless they can fly, it is impossible to come back in such a short time.
In the hands of the five subordinates of the Shu Palace, each of them was holding a wooden box.
Inside each wooden box, there are ten glass cups.
Moreover, the glass cups in each wooden box have different styles.
Some are just a simple cup.
Some cups have a guard and pedestal underneath.
The cups come in a variety of sizes and shapes.
What's even more amazing is that the glass cups in the five wooden boxes are also of different colors.
There is rose red, there is emerald green, there is sea blue, there is also a multicolored mixture, and the last one is colorless.
Moreover, each of these crystal cups is more exquisite than the one broken by the King of Shu.
Take the transparent box as an example, the whole body is crystal clear, and there is no impurity.
The surface is round and smooth, as if it was born that way.
You know, the crystals were dug out of the ground.
They are all dug up according to the shape to create the most suitable shape.
But now the crystal cups in these wooden boxes exhibited by the King of Shu, ten in each box, are almost identical in appearance.
It's, it's unlikely that this was dug out of the ground, right?
If so, it's a coincidence, right?
Can you dig out ten identical crystal cups at once?
This crystal cup, I'm afraid it's fired, right?
If it weren't for the King of Shu coming to this scene, they were afraid that they would really believe Wang Changqing's words.
I think this crystal cup is really dug up.
The eyes of everyone next to him who looked at Wang Changqing became a little abnormal.
And Li Su said to Wang Changqing with a smile: "Prince Wang, this king accidentally broke a glass cup. ”
"Now, look at these glass cups in this palace, maybe they are compared to the glass cups that were broken before?"
"If it can be compared, please ask Wang Gongzi to choose one as compensation!"
Wang Changqing's face was pale, and he casually took out a glass cup from the colorless wooden box.
As soon as he started, Wang Changqing felt that the crystal cup of the King of Shu was very light.
It doesn't feel like a real crystal cup.
Wang Changqing felt that he was very likely to be deceived.
But the crystal cup of the king of Shu is much better than his crystal cup.
And, he doesn't have proof yet.
If he dares to say this, I am afraid that everyone will think that his Wang family is cheating and slandering people.
Therefore, although Wang Changqing felt that the King of Shu must be playing some conspiracy.
But he still had to force his breath.
And then, everyone present began to salivate the crystal cup taken out by King Shu again.
After all, these crystal cups are more exquisite and gorgeous than the ones Wang Changqing took out.
