The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di took a deep breath and looked at the biggest box.This is not so much a box as a small box, because its length is about half a meter, its width and height are about [-] centimeters, and it is about the size of a suitcase.It's just that such a big box is the treasure of a diamond merchant, so it can't be full of diamonds, right?He shook his head, probably not. If they were all diamonds, then maybe this businessman was not a real human being, but a giant dragon in the shape of a human?

While thinking nonsensically, he looked into the inside of the box.

After a hasty glance, his brows frowned, how could these things be installed here?

Inside the iron box were stuffed a lot of crumpled newspapers and a slightly smaller iron box. Among these large and small newspaper balls, without exception, a small cup was wrapped.After counting carefully, it should be almost 24 pieces.

Looking at these cups of almost the same size, the corner of Wu Di’s mouth turned up. There are 24 pieces of blue and white mixed with multicolored. Although the plane of perspective is not easy to grasp, the pattern is not very clear, but this is not the famous Twelve Cups of the Kangxi Dynasty. What is the Moon Order Flower God Cup?Hehe, 24 pieces, wouldn't it be a set of blue and white and five colors?

Porcelain sets became popular around the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were the periods when they became more and more abundant. According to records, the largest set can reach [-] pieces.

Among them, the most famous handed down is the December Order Flower God Cup, which is regarded as a famous product of Kangxi Dynasty official kiln porcelain.This set of flower god cups is themed with narcissus, magnolia, peach blossom, peony, pomegranate, lotus, orchid, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, rose and plum blossom. Or tire making, both represent the highest peak of Kangxi official kiln craftsmanship.

According to records, there are two types of Huashen cups produced during the Kangxi period: blue and white five-color and blue and white. Due to the large number of complete sets, there are not a few complete sets in China at present.

What is especially precious is that the Twelve Flower God Cup is the first time in Qing official kilns to combine painting, poetry, calligraphy and seal seal, which undoubtedly makes porcelain have higher artistic attainments.More importantly, the Kangxi Twelve Flower God Cups made an indelible contribution to setting a model and laying the foundation for the poetry-inscribed enamel porcelain in the Yong-Qian period.

I counted them again carefully, and there should be 24 pieces, that's right, the blue and white and the multicolored pieces are [-] each, exactly the same set of two kinds of Luna cups!

Wu Di laughed, this harvest is much better than a box of diamonds!You know, so far, apart from the incomplete set of fruit bowls he got back in Barcelona, ​​there is no complete set of porcelain in his collection!

He rolled his eyes, there were such precious things outside, what could be in that little box?more precious?Brother Ruguan and Junding have two sets each?Oh, those who buy cakes, greed is the original sin, you can't ask so high, one set will do.Or, a set and a half?

Wu Di looked into the small box with a tricky smile, and at the same time shouted in his heart, Ruci!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, he coughed violently, and when his eyes tore through the pink-green glow that suddenly rose, and saw clearly what was inside, a kind of blissful dizziness made him hate it from his own saliva Choked.He couldn't believe his eyes, my God, how could it hold these few things in here?How dare it install these few things?

Seeing that Wu Di was so coughing that he couldn't straighten up, Wen Lan patted him on the back distressedly, and asked:

"What's the matter? Would you like some water?"

Wu Di shook his head, wiped away the tears he coughed up, raised his head and continued to look at the box, he must confirm whether it is the legendary items, if so, sister, how did it fall into these German boxes? in human hands?

His vision penetrated the two thin iron sheets again, and a blurred pink-green glow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Although he had been prepared for a long time, it still made him feel intoxicated.He blinked his eyes lightly, the rays of light dissipated suddenly, and two big, four small and six round objects appeared before his eyes again.

He took a deep breath, controlled his gaze, and carefully looked into the green sphere with a diameter of about [-] centimeters that he had seen through just now.Green skin, red flesh, white seeds, black silk, yes, absolutely yes, this is really the legendary emerald watermelon that Empress Dowager Cixi loves most!

Emerald watermelon!Wu Di glanced at the roughly sized sphere next to it. Sure enough, it was another emerald watermelon. Then, the remaining four should be emerald melons?

He remembered that the emerald watermelon first appeared in the "Notes of Ai Yuexuan" written by Li Chengwu, the nephew of the great eunuch Li Lianying in the late Qing Dynasty. Both Li Lianying and Li Chengwu participated in and led the burial ceremony of the Empress Dowager Cixi, especially the secret burial ceremony of treasures.They recorded the coffin treasures in the account books when they assisted the funeral, and then entered them in the "Notes".Therefore, the "Notes" described in great detail the names and values ​​of Cixi's funeral treasures, and there is no doubt about their true surnames.

Although the original version of "Notes of Ai Yuexuan" has been lost, the duplicated versions have detailed descriptions of the pair of emerald watermelons and the four emerald melons.

"(Empress Dowager Cixi) has one emerald watermelon on the left and right sides, with green skin, red flesh, white seeds, and black silk, estimated at 500 million taels (silver). Four emerald melons, two white skins, yellow seeds, and pink flesh. For those with green skin, white seeds, and yellow flesh, the valuation is 600 million taels (silver)."

However, as we all know, Sun Dianying, a rogue general who lived in troubled times, seized an opportunity in 19 and acted daringly as the notorious "Dongling Bandit" in Chinese history. The treasures buried in the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi were destroyed. After the catastrophe, many precious treasures disappeared without a trace, including this pair of emerald watermelons and four emerald melons.

Now, these things have appeared in the treasures of a Nazi businessman in Germany. So, who is this businessman and how did he get these treasures?

Wu Di scratched his head, he felt that he was not a qualified collector.Because qualified collectors attach great importance to the historical inheritance of treasures, they are usually polite and self-cultivated, and they will even pick up a walking stick and fight for others to question the inheritance of his treasures, while he is pure and innocent. only want to have.

Forget it, take the things back first, and go to research later when you have time.

Wu Di withdrew his eyes from the big iron box, and around this big iron box, there are four smaller boxes waiting for him to develop!He had already noticed just now that among the four boxes, three were normal cuboids, but the remaining one had a strange shape, a flat and long iron box.

Flat and long?He thought for a moment, maybe there are some paintings and calligraphy?

He looked into it while thinking about it, and sure enough, there were some scrolls wrapped in plastic cloth inside. Judging from the scattered and half-armored information, it seemed that they were all Huaxia's ink works, and the number was not very large. There were only eight or nine scrolls in total. look.

Wu Di grinned slightly. It’s true that he came here to hunt for treasures this time. However, in the treasures of a Jewish businessman, all the treasures found were the treasures of the Chinese ancestors. This made him happy but also a little sad. Your sister’s , even you guys who were wiped out like garbage by the SS back then have such a large number of Chinese treasures, one can imagine how many good things these robbers have taken away from China!If they couldn't get them back one by one, how embarrassing would it be for their authentic descendants!

Meng Yao looked at the platform on the tree strangely, then at Wu Di who was still in a daze, and lightly poked Wen Lan,

"Hey, what do you think this guy is watching?"

"Of course I'm thinking about how to build a wooden house on it, and let someone live in it and become an elf!"

Wen Lan chuckled, but before she finished speaking, she had already fled away quickly.

"Stop, the elves are coming to snatch the beauty!"

Meng Yao yelled and chased after her.

Wu Di looked away with a smile, turned around and said to the military adviser:

"I suddenly had an idea, you said, will they hide the treasure in this tree?"

The military division frowned suddenly, on the tree?Following Wu Di's gaze, he glanced at the platform and nodded,

"It's possible that the edge of that platform is covered with branches. If there is space in the middle, it's really a good place to hide treasure. However, if the treasure is really hidden there, it is very likely that it has been destroyed."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Fifth brother, look, this circle is full of branches, and there is no reason not to grow in the middle. If this is the case, it is very likely that the baby will be penetrated or crushed by these growing branches."

Wu Di smiled, of course he can't say that he has seen it, the middle of the platform is empty, but this does not prevent him from coming up with other reasons,

"Military Master, you forgot, the guy who left the treasure map is a diamond merchant. If his treasures are all diamonds, how could they be destroyed by branches? At most, the box was broken and some diamonds were thrown away."

The military division's eyes lit up, and he strode towards the big tree.

"Yanhuang, come here, find a way to go up the tree and have a look, the fifth brother said that the treasure is probably hidden in the canopy!"

The voice was not loud, but enough for the few people present to hear clearly, Meng Yao exclaimed, ignoring Wen Lan's itch, quickly ran to Wu Di's side, and asked:

"Adi, are you telling the truth?"

Wu Di spread his hands and rolled his eyes, guess what!

There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and it was the two robot cats who had returned to the hotel to pick up tools. The military master took a look at the sparrow's thin body, then at the big tree, and waved to him who had just put down his backpack.

"Come here, we will serve as a ladder for you, you go to the top of the big tree to have a look, the fifth brother suspects that the treasure is hidden in the crown of the tree!" (To be continued.)
