Chapter 221: The Four Towers of Onyx

opened another box and said in surprise: "There are five pieces of Ming blue and white flowers, and there is actually a plum bottle?"

First pick up the Ming blue and white flowers, they are all fine products, especially this Ruyi hanging shoulder origami flower and fruit pattern plum vase, a rare treasure. In 2003, Jiashide once auctioned the same plum vase, Meiyintang's old collection, and it was sold at a sky-high price of 180 million!

"There is also this Wanli style of colorful dancing figure lid jar, it is rare to have a lid, and it seems that Mei Yintang has been auctioned. ”

Wen Yiming nodded secretly, it is worthy of being a carefully selected boutique burial goods, the number is not much, but each one is the pinnacle. Even the blue and white flowers of the Ming Dynasty are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the plum vase is the highest level, and the number of surviving is scarce, and once it appears, it is sky-high. There is also a lid jar, mainly because the lid is not easy to preserve, and it is a Wanli colorful character jar, which is very rare.

When it comes to porcelain auction records, Mei Yin Tang is the highest level, which has been achieved by Swiss collectors Stephen and Gilbert in the Philippines for more than 50 years with the help of renowned antiques dealer Qiu Yanzhi.

As long as it is a collection of Meiyintang, it is synonymous with sky-high prices, especially its mysterious background. Even the top collectors in China are limited to Mei Yintang, which has always been known for its high level of collection in the industry, especially the collection of classical porcelain, which is a fine product of the same era. Even the auction company itself is tight-lipped about the identity of the owner of Meiyintang, and is accustomed to calling it the owner of Meiyintang rather than a certain collector.

It is famous for its high quality and misty background, but almost all of the 2,000 pieces in the collection of the owner of Meiyintang have been exhibited, and the more mysterious it is, the more it attracts collectors, and it is the lifelong dream of all porcelain collectors to own a piece of Meiyintang's collection.

There are also a lot of jewels and jade in the box, all of which are fine products, which are used by the royal court, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he picked up the two agate-colored things hidden at the bottom, and said in surprise: "The lion head of Lord Qianlong?"

Like gold and jade, the pattern is beautiful, the pile is short, the bottom is flat, the whole body is red and bright, and the walnut is exquisitely clear. Wen Yiming put it in the palm of his hand and coiled it vigorously a few times, and the moistened walnuts became more and more ruddy and delicate, as crystal clear as a night pearl. The mottled texture is naturally twisted and rolled, forming a strange flower.

Placing the two walnuts side by side, not only is the size almost the same, but even the texture of the winding is very similar, like twins, with both form and spirit.

The pattern is clear, the pulp is warm and moist like jade, and it actually reveals the luster of gold and jade. It doesn't look like a walnut, but a treasure carved and molded by the most skilled craftsmen with gold and jade materials.

Wen Yiming looked at the walnuts carefully, and suddenly found something strange in an inconspicuous position, gathered in the sun to study for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the sun and the moon are spinning in the palm of your hand, and time wants to go back." The blood is surging all over his body, when is it a white head? Sure enough, it is a lion's head that Qianlong Ye personally discarded!"

Throughout the ages, from emperors and generals, talented and beautiful women, to officials and eunuchs, and ordinary people, they are all proud to have a pair of exquisite, bright walnuts.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the wind of walnut appreciation in the palace was even worse. The walnut with the right hand has become a symbol of identity and taste. At that time, it was rumored in the capital that Baylor had three treasures in his hands: a wrench, a walnut, and a caged bird.

Based on years of experience, players call the four best quality walnuts, lion head, tiger head, official hat, and chicken heart, the four famous cores.

The lion's head ranks the first of the four famous cores, the shape is full and close to the round ball type, the pattern is beautiful, many curly flowers, winding flowers, twisting flowers, there are holes and eyes, the shape is like a lion's head, so it is named.

The 46 grinding disc that helped Yu Qian pick up the leakage last time was a kind of lion head, and now it is even more awesome, and he actually found the agate lion head that Qianlong personally discarded, and the pile type should be four buildings, the best of the best!

Wen Yiming took out another turquoise wrench from the box, full of water and old pit Zhengyang green, at least worth one million. Wearing the thumb of his left hand and the head of an onyx lion in his right hand, he leaned on the back seat of the Hummer leather, his face was full of comfort.

Hei Feng looked at the two large boxes of treasures, couldn't help it, and asked curiously, "Sir, are you a professional treasure hunter?"

"Well, the ancestral one!"

Wen Yiming closed his eyes and said casually: "It is not a craft to eat this bowl of rice for generations, and it is eaten with a mouthful of rice." ”

Hei Feng took a deep breath and said secretly, "Are you still eating with a mouthful of food?"

The crowd left here and went straight to the last treasure spot, Hankow. According to Jiao Laojiu's estimate, the most essence should be there.

At that time, Sun Dianying defied the disapproval of the world and openly blew up the Qing Dongling, which shocked the whole country.

Of course, Xu Yuanquan is not stupid, and he got a lot of benefits from Sun Dianying, such as the jade lotus leaf on the top of Cixi's head, as well as the golden Buddha, ruby Buddha, the best pearl, etc., which are several large boxes.

The first three places have fully proved the credibility of the treasure, Wen Yiming is very much looking forward to the last one, if he can find it, it will be the most shocking harvest.

Xu Yuanquan Mansion is located in Nanxia Street, Cangbu Town, Xinzhou District, according to historical records, in 1931, it cost 100,000 oceans to build an area of 4,230 square meters of Xu Mansion, integrating Chinese and Western architectural art styles, extremely magnificent.

According to the local people, the Xu Mansion was built for his mother and wife, and he did not move in, and after the mansion was built, Xu sent two companies of troops to protect it. The exterior of the mansion is magnificent, the interior is beautifully decorated, and there is a secret passage in the basement of the mansion, in which the treasure is said to be buried.

In the early days of liberation, someone dug a flower bed near the Xujia Mansion, and as a result, a tunnel was dug deep enough to pass through and there was stagnant water inside. Due to the continuous steaming water in the tunnel dug at that time, everyone suspected that there might be a mechanism and poisonous gas under the tunnel, so they did not dare to go down.

During the first national cultural relics survey, a team of experts, including professors from the Department of History of Wuhan University, conducted a careful search of Xu's Mansion and Xu Yuanquan's relatives and neighborhoods many times, but found no valuable clues.

In order to find out the mystery of the buried treasure of the Xu Mansion, Hu Jinhao, deputy director of the Cultural Relics Management Institute, made a special trip to visit the secret room under the east wing of the Xu Mansion. The chamber, which was only a few square meters in size, was carefully cleaned, and each wall tile was carefully tapped to see if there were any mechanisms inside, but nothing was found.

Later, Hu Jinhao also visited Yuan Yiquan, a 93-year-old maid of the Xu Mansion at the time, and the other party recalled that Sun Dianying stole Dongling, and Xu Yuanquan was the commander, so he made a fortune and used the money to build the Xu Mansion. At that time, the bricks on the Wuchang city wall were used to build the house. After the mansion was built, the army shot people near the Xu Mansion, and people suspected that the person who was shot was a craftsman who repaired the house.

And Lin Gengfan, an old man who has lived in Cangbu Street for generations, provides another explanation that he is the adopted son of Xu Yuanquan's sister. According to him, when he was 10 years old, he went to the Xu Mansion to play, and the Xu Mansion was magnificent at that time, and the tunnel was full of valuable treasures.

Xu Yuanquan had many guards, and Xu Yuanquan's wife had a phoenix crown at that time, and it was brilliantly golden. The gate of the mansion originally faced north, Xu Yuanquan thought that this meant that defeat was unlucky, so he changed the gate to the current northwest direction.

Later, it also became a garrison base for the island country, and the general range was not locked in the Troubled Times, and even Jiao Laojiu was not sure if there was really any treasure left. After all, when Xu Yuanquan ran to Treasure Island, if he really had a treasure, he would definitely take it with him, and the chance of staying was too low.
