His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present couldn't help but look over.
After looking over.
The cups placed on the coffee table were particularly eye-catching.
Especially the pattern on it.
At first glance, those who didn't know better would think that it was the kind of cup and bowl that often appeared in TVP TV dramas.
However, for those who loved collecting antiques and had some knowledge about antiques, this pattern was like seeing something terrifying.
"This…"
"This…"
"No way, is it really that terrifying?？？”
"Again?"
"Colorful Chicken Jar Cup, this..."
"I don't know why, but if it was before, I would definitely be extremely excited when I saw the colorful chicken jar cup. But now, I can't be excited anymore. A censer worth a billion yuan and tea leaves worth more than a billion yuan have been sold. I feel that this colorful chicken jar cup is already a standard.”
"What is the background of this family? Were all these expensive things placed so casually in the garden?？”
"Heavens…It was like a small museum.”
......
The reason why the Doucai Chicken Jar Cup attracted everyone's exclamations.
There were two reasons.
Firstly, the origin of this item was no less than the two items just now.
Secondly, this thing was almost impossible to see among the people.
First of all, the origin of the Doucai Chicken Jar Cup was that after Emperor Ming Chenghua ascended the throne, he ordered the world's most powerful porcelain craftsman team to forge it.
It was a royal wine cup.
Because the requirements for the things used by the royal family were extremely high, there were very few finished products.
They might not even be able to produce a complete set in a year.
The refining process of the Doucai Chicken Jar Cup was extremely demanding. First, it had to be glazed and fired at a high temperature of 1,300 degrees to form the carcass. Then, it had to be filled with red, green, and yellow lights to fill the reserved blue and white patterns. Then, it had to be baked at a low temperature in the kiln.
After burning it, the pattern on the outside of the cup would show two kinds of patterns.
The outer wall was divided into two groups by the Peony Lake Stone and the Orchid Grass Lake Stone. One group painted a rooster with its head held high, a hen and a chick pecking at a centipede, and two chicks playing.
The other group painted a rooster crowing, a hen and three chicks pecking at a centipede. The picture was vivid and interesting.
Because of its exquisite craftsmanship, it was made to verify the peak of the ancient people's skills.
Therefore, the price of the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Jar Cup was also terrifying.
This was especially true since this item was exclusive to the royal family and was rarely seen among the common people, so it was even more precious.
Even after the Qing army entered the pass, only one or two of these things occasionally drifted to the people. The rest were either buried in the mausoleum or disappeared in the beacon fire.
In the market where rare items were valued.
Chenghua Doucai Chicken Jar Cup was a sky-high price.
"This thing is worth at least 200 million, right?”
"Two hundred million? Are you kidding me?”
"Brother, if you have nothing to do, you should read more about the news. 200 million? In 1999, at the Sotheby's auction in Xiangjiang, do you know how much a complete Cockfight Cup was sold for? A total of 29.17 million!!!”
"29.17 million? Let's not talk about anything else. Just a few years ago, at the auction in 2014, there was another auction for the Doucai Chicken Jar Cup. At that time, the price was set at 280 million. Seven years ago, it was nearly 300 million.”
"How about this? I'll give you 300 million yuan. If you have more, just treat it as if you earned it!"
After seeing the Chenghua Dou Cai Chicken Jar Cup, everyone started discussing. One of them casually said a price of 200 million.
However, when this price was announced, everyone scoffed and looked at that person as if they were looking at a country bumpkin. It was as if they were just short of calling him a toad.
A frog that looks at the sky from the bottom of a well!
"Tsk…Why was this cup so strange? Logically speaking, under the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Jar Cup, there should only be a pattern made during the Chenghua period, but this cup had the words 'Saint Master' left behind?”While everyone was criticizing the collector who didn't know what was good, Master Zhang carefully picked up the teacup and looked at the signature. He couldn't help but mutter.
"Could it be an imitation?" Someone asked.
" No, impossible!!!"
"Whether it's the color of the glaze, the degree of exquisiteness, or the quality, this is definitely not an imitation.”
Master Zhang quickly explained.
Everyone was confused by the explanation.
But only Chen Xuanqing knew.
The origin of this cup.
He couldn't remember how long it had been, but he remembered that after the Tumu Fortress incident in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Wala Empire. Zhu Qiyu was ordered to replace the Ming Yingzong in the face of danger.
A battle that was almost impossible to win was about to begin.
At that time, Empress Sun remembered that her husband had left a top-secret letter before he died.
If the dynasty is in trouble, you can open this book.
After opening the book, there was only one address recorded in it.
According to the address, Empress Sun found Chen Xuanqing, who had already retired to Yamada.
At that time, Chen Xuanqing had once again drunk himself in the pavilion and was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, who happened to pass by.
Worried that Chen Xuanqing would catch a cold, she took off her only cotton coat to keep Chen Xuanqing warm.
In fact, Chen Xuanqing didn't need it at all at that time, but the other party didn't know.
In that freezing weather, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for six hours before Chen Xuanqing woke up.
After he woke up and saw the other party's actions, he couldn't help but approve of it. Therefore, he agreed to the founding emperor of the Darming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, and granted him three requests.
His first request was to become the emperor, and Chen Xuanqing helped him. Later, there was the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
After becoming the Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt the terror of Chen Xuanqing. At the same time, because he was already the Emperor, he had no other wishes, so he left the last two rare opportunities.
Before he died, he didn't have the time to tell Zhu Yunwen, afraid that he was young and would use it indiscriminately.
Who knew that he would pass away before he could.
And that secret was later found out by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who killed his nephew and seized the throne with the excuse of clearing the emperor's side.
After knowing, Zhu Di was useless because he had already succeeded.
Just like that, he stayed until Empress Sun found him.
After finding it, Empress Sun immediately asked Chen Xuanqing to come out of the mountain and help Da Ming overcome this impossible difficulty.
It was her request.
The Darming Dynasty that should have ended a hundred years earlier had dragged on for another hundred years!
In the end, they repelled Wala and defended the Darming Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Jingtai, Zhu Qizhen launched the coup and obtained the throne. He immediately made his son Zhu Jianshen the Crown Prince.
After the Crown Prince was appointed, he learned from his mother that Chen Xuanqing was a character and without a second word, he respected him as the Great Ming Saint Teacher.
Before he died, the last thing he said to his son was not love, but to please Chen Xuanqing.
Only in this way could the Ming Dynasty be stable forever.
For this reason, Zhu Jianshen followed his father's last words.
From now on, if there was anything good, he would send it to Chen Xuanqing immediately.
For example, the Doucai Chicken Cup.
The most exquisite batch forged in the official kiln would be given over as a tribute.
Therefore, it was not signed during the Chenghua years, but because of the sagemaster!!
