Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 94 94 What virtue and ability
And that's not all.More exciting things to come.

Counselor Song ignored the whispers below and continued to vow from a high place to complete his cause.It seems that it is his mission to announce Jia Lian's biological mother's dowry to the world today.

"Four pieces of sapphire, four pieces of white jade, two pieces of crystal, two pieces of gold, two pearl bracelets, jade bracelets, coral bracelets, and agarwood bracelets. Two pieces.”

"Six east pearls, ten small pearls, twelve lake pearls, forty rice pearls, four pieces of rubies, two pieces of sapphires, and two pieces of emeralds."

If it was considered ordinary household use before, now it is all hard currency.

The Zhang family is not ignorant of vulgar things. They know very well that the Jia family comes from a rough background and cannot raise any knowledgeable people. The servants in the family are the most philistine.

And these hard-currency mundane things are close to them, which is the confidence of the Zhang family's daughter in the Jia family.

Don't think that these rags are meant to be worn by the Zhang family. Apart from being expensive, these vulgar things have no advantages.It was used to scare the servants of the Jia family.

Of course, it is also used to win people's hearts.

The purpose is to let the Jia family understand that although Zhang's daughter is noble, she is rich.You have made my daughter happy, and you can eat and drink as much as you want.

"Four pairs of antique calligraphy and painting weaving gold-colored porcelain vases, a pair of Langhong Qianqichun, a pair of Chenghua bucket color vases, a pair of Chenghua five-color cloud pattern jars with lids, a pair of famille rose chicken cups, and a Chenghua bucket color mandarin duck and lotus stem cup Yes, a Chengyao Linhong vase."

"A Xuandelan glazed plum vase with white jade and a He Erxian ornament, a pair of three-layer green jade smoked balls to ward off evil spirits, a pair of jade horses, a pair of jade bis, and a pair of jade sulfur. A landscape painting by Shen Zhou. "

After singing about vulgar things, it is natural to feel a little more vulgar. Although vulgar things are expensive, they have a price after all.But just the five colors of the kiln are enough to see.

Everyone knows that Xuande Wucai is a good thing, but most people may not have heard of Chengyao Wucai.Because the Xuande five colors can be collected and become kiln five colors, they are rare treasures.

It is recorded in Ruinan Taoist's "Eight Notes of Zunsheng".Xuande's five-color is not very good because of its deep accumulation, while Cheng-kiln's five-color is good because it uses dark and light colors and the dyeing is quite painterly.Like Jordan's Pass, it is like a flower pattern in the sky, and the flowers are like clouds and brocade, and the beauty is pleasing to the eye!

It means, don’t always brag about the Xuande five colors, that’s because you poor people have never seen the Cheng kiln five colors, and the things made are much more delicate than the Xuande five colors.

No matter how many times you have been officials, you have seen the things from the Xuande kiln. This thing is already something they can't dream of, let alone the objects from the Cheng kiln.

That's something I've only heard of but never seen.

The difference between the two is roughly equivalent to the difference between cultural toys and cultural relics.

But I didn't expect to find out today that there was more than one of these in a woman's dowry.

The Jia family really deserves what they have ended up with today. This is because the blessings outweigh the virtues.

But this wasn't the end yet. Song He's next words made everyone even more excited.

"A landscape painting by Wang Ximeng, a landscape painting by Fan Kuan, a painting of ladies by Qiu Ying, a painting of flowers and birds by Chen Daofu, a painting of babies playing by Su Hanchen, a painting in running script by Cai Xiang, and a painting in running script by Mi Wanzhong. Wen Zhengming’s Xi two paragraphs and Chen Xianzhang’s cursive two paragraphs.”

Wang Ximengna was a talented painter in the former Song Dynasty. He only left behind a painting called "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".The painting uses a whole piece of silk, depicting a scene of undulating mountain peaks, vast rivers, fishing villages and wild markets, and depicts numerous human activities.Using the traditional blue and green method, the brush is extremely fine, and the changes in the blue and green tones are sought. It is a masterpiece of green and green through the ages.

Could it be that these words were in the hands of the old master and he married his daughter? How could this old man be willing to let go!
There are not many landscapes by Fan Kuan that can be as dowry as Wang Ximeng's landscapes. Fan Kuan was also one of the three masters of the former Song Dynasty. The only landscapes left behind are "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", "Snowy Mountains and Xiaosi", and "Snowy Scenery and Cold Forest". 》.

I just don’t know which pair will be given as a dowry.

Not to mention Qiu Ying, who was the master of the previous dynasty.Together with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, they are known as the "Four Great Masters".Then his painting of ladies is probably not "Portrait of Lady Playing the Coron Hou", but "Portrait of Ni Zan".

It's hard to guess Chen Daofu's flowers and birds. His surviving works include "Red Pear Poems and Paintings", "Camellia Narcissus Pictures", "Kuishi Pictures" and "稨画图", but I have never heard of flowers and birds.

But the old master cannot have fakes in his hands, so this painting of flowers and birds by Chen Daofu will be even more valuable.

Could it be that the flower and bird scroll collected by the emperor should appear in this dowry? It shouldn't be!
Not to mention Su Hanchen's "A Picture of a Baby Playing in the Autumn Court".There are also Cai Xiang and Mi Wanzhong’s running script, Wen Zhengming’s Xiliang calligraphy, and Chen Xianzhang’s cursive script.

A random piece of calligraphy and painting alone is enough to buy the entire Jia family.No matter how extravagant the Jia family is, it's just a character at the Wenwan level. These are all national treasures!

How virtuous and capable is his Jia family!
