Chapter 549: The Cup of Defeat
The people were stunned to see what was in the box.
There are six glittering cups in the box, Lin Shuiyue also looked at the cups in the box attentively, although she has seen a lot of rare treasures, but this time she also felt very curious about the cups, Lin Shuiyue looked at it carefully, there are countless treasures in the purple Xuan Xuan of Linshuiyue, pearls, jade agate, gold and silver utensils are countless.
The things she saw this time were even her eyes lit up, these six cups were not the same, the first three were three jade cups, the edge of the cup and the cup were plated with a layer of gold, but it was not these three cups that could make Linshuiyue's eyes shine, although this jadeite gold-plated cup was rare, but it was not enough to impress Linshuiyue, there were two such cups Linshuiyue, and she also gave away a pair of such bracelets casually.
What made her eyes shine was the last three, and those three cups were just three ancient porcelain cups, but it was these three porcelain cups that made Lin Shuiyue stunned.
This cup looks like jade, but it is not jade, and the transparency of the color is better than that of beautiful jade, but it is not a glass similar to jade.
Seeing such a treasure, Mo Chen didn't react, although he was not a layman, he was not a gentleman, he didn't pay much attention to drinking, he just raised his wine glass and drank it, it was as simple as that, and he didn't care what utensils went with what wine.
This time, Li Yuqiong's attention was no longer Mo Chen, and the woman sitting on the other side, she saw Lin Shuiyue's reaction. The corners of the mouth are lightly raised.
Li Yuqiong picked up one of the porcelain cups, and she asked, "I see that the girl is quite interested in my three cups, I wonder if you know the origin?"
This is naturally difficult to help the water moon, the water moon is also a treasure person, she said casually: "After the rain, the clouds break out (place), and this color will be the future." ”
Everyone heard her words, you look at me, I look at you. No one knows what it means, including Mo Chen. Only a few people who were familiar with the books understood what this meant. Of course, it also includes Li Yuqiong on the other side of Linshui Moon.
The origin of these three porcelain cups is not ordinary, and its value is far from being comparable to those three jade cups. It is not an exaggeration to say that this one is even priceless. Because that's what it's all about.
Because these three cups are genuine products from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty. And it's also a legendary secret color.
According to legend, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty once had a dream in which the sky was sunny after the rain. He liked the color of the sky after the rain he saw in his dream very much, so he sent a message to the porcelain craftsman: "After the rain, the clouds break (place), and this color will be the future." I don't know how many craftsmen were stumped by this holy decree of Huizong, and in the end, the craftsmen of Ruzhou were highly skilled and fired the color of "the clouds break out (everywhere) after the rain".
Although it is just a legend, the indigo porcelain of this Ru kiln is the best. In particular, the genuine products of the Song Dynasty are the most valuable, and the time when the Ru kiln fired porcelain for the Song Dynasty was about the fifth year from the first year of Song Zhezong to the fifth year of Huizong Chongning, about 20 years before and after, so the number of firing utensils is limited. Due to the short time of burning, coupled with the fall of Bianliang in Tokyo after the difficulty of Jingkang, the destruction of the palace and the looting of the Jin people, the Ruguan kiln artifacts were already very difficult to find in the Southern Song Dynasty.
And after the difficulty of Jingkang, the Song family moved south, the Jin people slaughtered, hunted and plundered the Han people, the skills of the Ru kiln were lost, and the successive dynasties could not perfectly reproduce the "rain after the sky and the clouds broke out (place), such a color to do the future." "The secret color of porcelain. Later, it went through the Song Jin, Song Yuan, Ming and Yuan dynasties and other dynasties, many years of conquest, many damages, countless, only dozens of pieces have been passed down to this day, so this Song Dynasty Ru kiln secret color porcelain has become a priceless treasure.
And this Song Dynasty Ru kiln is the world's unique, Ru porcelain shape is simple and generous, with precious agate as the glaze, the color is unique, there is "agate for the glaze of the ancient" praise. With the change of light, look at its glaze color, just like "the rain after the day and the clouds break out (place)", "thousands of peaks and blue waves and emerald colors come" wonderful, the soil is fine, the body is like the Dong body, its glaze is thick and the sound is like a chime, bright but not dazzling. The surface of the vessel is a small open piece of cicada wing pattern, with the characteristics of "pear skin, crab claw, sesame flower", which is called "like jade, non-jade, and winning jade" by later generations. And this kind of famous porcelain is called "even if there is a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain." ”
Linshuiyue's collection is rich, but there is no such thing.
Li Yuqiong said: "The girl really knows the treasures, this is indeed the royal Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, only a good cup can be worthy of this good wine." ”
Lin Shuiyue said: "Sister, little sister thinks otherwise. ”
Li Yuqiong put the wine glass back, and she asked, "Oh, what should I think according to the girl's opinion?"
Lin Shuiyue said: "If my sister really wants to drink, it's better to use those three jade cups." ”
Li Yuqiong asked, "Why, since the girl knows the origin of my three cups, she must know their preciousness." ”
Lin Shuiyue nodded.
Li Yuqiong asked again: "Since the girl knows, why do you use dross instead of gold and jade?"
Mo Chen quietly looked at Lin Shuiyue beside him.
Lin Shuiyue said: "This secret color Ru kiln porcelain, although it is precious, is far from being compared with these jade cups, but it has the appearance of defeat. Is it not a desecration of such a good wine with this cup of ruin?"
Li Yuqiong smiled but did not speak.
Lin Shuiyue continued: "This Ru kiln has only been used by the Song family for 20 years, but these 20 years are also the 20 years of the Song family's decline from prosperity, the Song family has Cai Jing, Gao Yu's dictatorship and disaster to the country, Fang La's uprising, there are Western Xia, Jin soldiers pressed the border, and then the shame of Jingkang, the Song family moved south, and did not think about reform and inspiration internally, but strangled loyal ministers and righteous people, and bent the knee to call the vassals. Isn't it from prosperity to decline?"
Li Yuqiong said: "The girl is right, it is really inappropriate to use this cup. ”
Lin Shuiyue was in Hangzhou at this time, and he felt that he recited a poem: "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou." ”
Li Yuqiong smiled again.
Li Yuqiong took out the three jade cups, these three cups were very clean and did not need to be rinsed. Li Yuqiong poured the wine into the glass. Then he handed two glasses of wine to Lin Shuiyue and Mo Chen.
Mo Chen took the wine and drank it all.
Li Yuqiong asked, "How is the wine of the little girl Mo Daxia?"
Mo Chen said lightly the word "incense".
Li Yuqiong said: "Then please try it too." ”
Lin Shuiyue looked at this glass cup, she actually chose this cup for a reason, what she just said about the appearance of defeat or something is just a one-sided statement, in fact, the real reason is in this cup.
Because this glass cup is plated with a layer of gold, because of the general poison, if it encounters gold and silver, some subtle changes will occur. The master of the Star Picking Mansion is unfathomable, so she naturally has to be careful. After all, her medical skills are not as high as Guiguzi and Qiu Yuling.
