Chapter 117: Your Excellency's Vase Makes Me Lose Face!
When the generals below heard this, they showed playful expressions on their faces and echoed loudly.
"That's right, in the past few days when the Holy Lord conferred the honor on the prince, he praised the Third Highness a lot, and the gifts prepared by the Third Highness must be extraordinary!"
"Needless to say? Jingzhou is a poor and remote country, how can it be compared with the prosperous Jiangnan Province? The Third Highness can take out any one of them, and it will open your eyes! ”
"Hahaha......"
Wen Yue is in charge of military affairs in the army, they are the right-hand men under the second prince, so they naturally have to follow the words of the boss, plus the silver armor army that escorted Wen Chen, after returning to Jingzhou, they are very dissatisfied with this illegitimate son who has been left behind for more than ten years, and everyone can't wait to see Wen Chen make a fool of himself!
Lu Youzhi, who was sitting next to the main seat, shook his head secretly, these two highnesses were really played around by his eldest brother, and every time he was the first bird for others, he didn't have a long memory at all!
Wen Chen looked at his father silently, smiled slightly, and got up confidently.
"The second brother still understands me, and he already knows that the child is filial, so he made a special trip to prepare a gift for his father!"
Is there really one?
Wen Yue's eyelids jumped, and he was surprised in his heart.
But when he saw Wen Chen slowly and leisurely pick up two tattered blue and white porcelain vases from under the table, he couldn't help laughing.
"Third brother, if you don't say that this is a gift, the second brother still thinks that they are the gong buckets that you put on the carriage on the way back!"
"You take these rags as gifts for your father, and you are not afraid of being ridiculed by outsiders!"
"It turns out that I thought too much, the third brother's longing for his father turned out to be only worth two broken vases!"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter and pointed at Wen Chen.
Reddick, who was sitting in the back, looked embarrassed, salivating at the food on the table, and didn't dare to take the lead in using the knife, so they couldn't understand what everyone was laughing at, so they had to clap their hands along with it.
Wen Yuli raised his eyebrows, looked at Wen Chen and asked deliberately, "Is my father really so unbearable in your eyes?" ”
Wen Chen sighed quietly, "Erchen learned from his mother that his father likes to collect antiques, and there are countless treasures in the house, so he spent a lot of money to buy this pair of porcelain vases from others and give them to his father, they are not tattered, but real antiques!" ”
Antique?
Wen Yue frowned, stepped forward and picked up two inconspicuous bottles and began to look at them.
"How do you prove they're antiques?"
"Of course, it is with the experience I have accumulated from the streets and alleys of Qingcheng since I was a child, and I have accumulated knowledge of things and products!" Wen Chen raised his head and said confidently.
"This bottle is glazed and old, and the bottom of the tire presents a beautiful flint red, according to the seller, it is an object in the Western Song Dynasty Palace 800 years ago, and it is a unique boutique in ten thousand!"
Hiss –
Wen Yue was stunned by these words, he really didn't know anything about antique identification, but seeing Wen Chen telling the origin of porcelain so seriously, he was a little suspicious of himself for a while, could it be true that this hillbilly blind cat touched the dead mouse, and was it right?
"If the second brother doesn't believe it, he can lick this glaze with his tongue, the porcelain in the Western Song Dynasty Palace will retain a faint sweetness due to the special firing method." Wen Chen said encroachmently.
Sweetness?
Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, how can there be a sweet porcelain in the world?
Wen Chen immediately stretched out his tongue and licked the vase violently!
A strong earthy smell instantly entered his mouth, making him can't help but retch.
"What sweetness? It's definitely a stench! ”
Wen Yuli smiled from above, and waved his hand, "Take it and let this king take a look." ”
Wen Yue snorted and stepped forward to hand over the porcelain vase.
I saw the king of Zhennan fumbling with the patterns on it, nodding frequently, and the appreciation in his eyes was not hidden at all.
"It's not easy, it's not easy to ......"
Wen Yue was shocked, and asked cautiously, "Father, is this really an object that has been handed down eight hundred years ago?" ”
Wen Yuli smiled and shook his head, "At a glance, this bottle is less than three months away from the kiln." ”
"Then why did Father say it wasn't easy?" Wen Yue wondered.
King Zhennan laughed, "It is not easy for a person who claims to be a person who prefers to pee and deal with antiques to be so obvious!" ”
He naturally wouldn't have thought that this was Wen Chen deliberately selling flaws to himself.
And this stupidity is also in line with his heart, even if Wen Chenzhen has something to do with Emperor Jingren, with his means of Zhennan Wang, this kid will definitely not be able to set off any storms, and the jealousy and suspicion in his heart will also weaken a lot.
"Okay, you Wen Chen, you dare to coax your father with that fake, do you still take your father in your eyes?!"
Wen Yue shouted angrily, threw the other bottle in front of Wen Chen to the ground and smashed it, remembering that he had licked this tattered bite just now, and his heart became more and more depressed.
"Fake?"
Wen Chen looked dazed, and sat down in his seat in despair, "How is it possible, I bought this for a full eight thousand taels of silver, how can it be fake......"
"Father, could you be mistaken?"
The more Wen Chen was at a loss, the more relieved Wen Yuli became, and the smile on his face did not decrease.
"Doing it is nothing more than burying the new porcelain in the soil and weathering it, and if you want to get twice the result with half the effort, you can soak it in the urine of livestock to make it look old......
What?
Soaking in urine?
Wen Yue's cheeks flushed when he heard this, so wouldn't that bite he had just ......
"Stinky boy, you are bold!"
The faces of the generals were strange, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they held back very hard.
Wen Chen spread his hands with a bitter face and said, "Second brother, I didn't know that the bottle was soaked in urine, no wonder I could always smell a smell of urine, it turned out to be ......like this."
If it weren't for the reception banquet set up by my father for this hillbilly tonight, His Royal Highness, who usually speaks well in the army, would have done it on the spot, so that this kid would not be able to eat and walk around, at least he would have to break one of his legs!
However, his father didn't have any sense of blame, and even with a smile on his face all the time, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
He stomped his feet hard, hurried out of the hall, hugged the ginkgo tree at the door and vomited.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to end for a while.
But he didn't want the eldest prince Wen Guan to stand up, and said unhurriedly to the top, "Father, as the saying goes, thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate, although the gift given by the third brother is cheap, but it was also deceived by the profiteer, it is not his intention, so let's expose this matter for the time being." ”
is different from the second brother Wen Yue, he is very good at the ability to observe words and colors, and when he saw that his father had not blamed for a long time, he knew that his father should have something else in mind.
If he doesn't give up on Wen Chen, he will arouse his father's disgust.
Anyway, it's not him who looks foreign, so there's no need to hold on to it.
Wen Yuli bowed slightly, and gently raised his hand to the right side, "Give ......"
Lu Youzhi hurriedly continued, "gift! Lei,gift gogogo! ”
But he laughed secretly in his heart, Wen Chenlu didn't think about the method of peeing and soaking the bottle, but he was afraid that if he did it too seriously, the prince couldn't distinguish it for a while, but now it has become his trick to trick the second prince, which is also interesting.
If this kid can clear his suspicions in the future, with his thoughtful and improvisable skills, he can become a capable member of the prince's men!
At this time, a golden retriever in the mouth of the crowd walked up with a tray bowed over, and more than a dozen crystal clear transparent stones of different sizes were scattered on the plate!
