160 Eight treasures
As Jiang Yihan said, the list of offerings he reported was not much compared to the total value of the medicines, but in Lan Tianyu's view, each one was a rare treasure. Among them, there are a total of 19 pieces of rare porcelain, 8 ancient paintings and calligraphy before the Qing Dynasty, 18 paintings and calligraphy of the Qing Dynasty, 23 paintings and calligraphy of the Republic of China, 4 Western oil paintings, 19 pieces of jade jewelry, and 15 other miscellaneous items.

The most precious miscellaneous items are: Song Huizong Imperial System, Qing Qianlong Imperial Ming "Turquoise Stone Interim" Qin, Ming Xuande Golden Fetal Chisel "Catch the Pearl Cloud Dragon" pattern inlaid gem three-legged cover furnace.
These items in Jiang Yihan's enshrinement list are rare treasures in the eyes of Lan Tianyu, but during the Republic of China, for General Xue Yue, the most precious were only eight of them. There are a few other items, the value is slightly inferior, and the value of the other remaining items is not high, but it is only because there is a need in the list details listed by Blue Sky and Rain, so they are prepared together.
General Xue Yue attaches the most importance to the eight items that are of high value are: a pair of Ming Chenghua Doucai Flower Butterfly Pattern Cups. Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment", Jing Hao's "Jiangcun Morning Trip", Mi Fu's "Yan Shan Ming", Nine Dragons Jade Cup, Glass Fu Lu Shou Bracelet, 108.28 carats of vivid color flawless blue diamonds.
Although these eight heavy treasures are all rare in the world, in General Xue's valuation, the most precious one must undoubtedly be the Nine Dragons Jade Cup!
The Nine Dragons Jade Cup was once the favorite of Emperor Kangxi. It is the most important burial object designated by him during his lifetime. Some time ago, some tomb robbers took advantage of the chaos of the situation to steal and dig up Jingling, and this Nine Dragons Jade Cup was able to see the light of day. The tomb robber offended one of General Xue's regimental commanders and was arrested and interrogated, and the regimental commander accidentally received the Nine Dragons Jade Cup from him, which was later presented to General Xue Yue.
For General Xue, the most precious items are only these eight items, in this era of endless wars. The other items are not too valuable. But for Blue Sky and Rain, any item in the list is a rare treasure. It's all hard to find in the real world.
Whether it is Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain or modern calligraphy and painting artworks, in the real world, many of them are not worth under the eight treasures that General Xue valued.
After reading the list, Lan Tianyu was already a little impatient, consuming a hundred sacrificial points, and sacrificing a total of one hundred and six heavy treasures for Jiang Yihan. All collected into the altar.
Lan Tianyu's consciousness was temporarily detached from the altar, and in the middle of his thoughts, the Nine Dragons Jade Cup appeared in his hand.
This Jiulong jade cup is white and delicate throughout, like mutton fat that has just been peeled off, and the jade is oily and delicate. It was the only time he saw it in his life. The jade cup is 3 cm high, 4 cm wide, 6 cm long, and has a lid. There are two dragons playing with pearls at each corner of the jade cup, a total of eight dragons, and the handle is a dragon, a total of nine dragons.
It is said that this Kangxi's favorite jade cup, as long as it is filled with wine, you can see nine flipped dragons from the cup, as if chasing and frolicking in the churning sea.
Lan Tianyu simply opened a jar of century-old Fenjiu, and under the urging of internal force, a thin wine pour poured into the jade cup.
Under the illumination of the light, peeking through the wall of the glass, the nine dragons seemed to suddenly turn around, flying and flipping in the wine, chasing and frolicking.
"The rumors turned out to be true!" Lan Tianyu was amazed, and gently turned the jade cup, only to see the dragon frolicking in the wine, and with the rotation of the jade cup, in the rippling wine, constantly changing its flying posture.
This scene in front of me opened the eyes of the blue sky and rain, and the carving skills of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup can only be described as "ghostly workmanship"!
Carving techniques, changes in light and shadow, the material of the jade cup, these three are perfectly integrated, as long as there is a slight deviation, the amazing wonder of the Nine Dragons flying together will not appear, no wonder the Kangxi Emperor, who has countless treasures, even after death has to carry this jade cup, such a treasure is indeed rare in the world!
If such a treasure is put up for auction, what will be the transaction price? Even with the experience of blue skies and rain, it is difficult to have an accurate prediction.
I couldn't put it down, and Lan Tianyu took out the second treasure of appreciation, which was a pair of Ming Chenghua Doucai Flower Butterfly Pattern Cups.
Doucai porcelain in the Chenghua period, the shape is precious and wonderful, the fetal quality is fine and crystalline, the tone is soft and quiet, the painting is elegant and graceful, and it is unique in its light and elegant style, there is no atmosphere of Yongle Xuande porcelain, but the pursuit of small and medium-sized works, the pursuit of pleasing to the eye, and the beauty of the lines.
The pair of Chenghua Doucai Flower Butterfly Cup in the hands of Lan Tianyu is one of the many Doucai Cup shapes, the glaze is blue and gray, the tire is as thin as cicada wings, the cup is painted with mountain stones, flowers and grass, several butterflies are dancing in the footsteps, lifelike. The cup depicts the autumn countryside scene with elegant or strong colors, and the decorative painting lines are concise, like a beautiful picture, full of natural atmosphere and life interest. Because the autumn that lasts for three months has the saying of "three autumns", this cup is also given the elegant name of "three autumn cups".
Jiang Yihan just presented a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup to Lan Tianyu, and now he has enshrined a pair of Sanqiu cups, even if these three Doucai Cups are placed in the brilliant porcelain of the past dynasties, they are one of the most cherished and rare supreme treasures, and the value is incalculable!
Putting away a pair of Sanqiu cups, a crystal clear glass Fushoulu jade bracelet appeared in Lan Tianyu's hand
