Chapter 224 Royal use?

"Isn't Princess Jiazi leading the team this time?"

Just after Wu Tianyuan returned to the museum, Yasuda called to inform that the Japanese royal family would come to exchange collections in two days, but Princess Kako was grounded because of what happened last time, so she couldn't come!
Wu Tianyuan listened to An Tian's introduction with a sullen face, and hung up the phone. Sun Yuyao asked, "What's going on?"

"Yasuda said that the royal family is very dissatisfied with Kako's attitude of surrendering to the enemy. This time, Yasuda is only responsible for communication and introduction. The main person in charge is an expert named Kazama."

Wu Tianyuan pondered: "It is said that this Kazama is not simple. He is the chief appraiser of the royal family, and he is also a figure of the top level in Japan. It is very difficult to deal with!"

Sun Yuyao said disdainfully: "It's a big deal, let's not change it! Now there are museums and auction houses, and there is a special Japanese trophy exhibition hall, and the effect is better than ordinary ones, believe it or not?"

Wu Tianyuan laughed out loud, it doesn't matter, but Wang Jun still needs to check that Kaze Room to see where it came from.

Two days later, a group of Japanese people came to the museum. Yasuda introduced an old man in his 60s with a serious face. Seeing Wu Tianyuan smiled reservedly and said, "Director Wu, please take care of me!"

"Master Kazama, Professor Yasuda, please!"

Seeing Yasuda's sneaky wink, Wu Tianyuan invited people in first, took out this batch of Japanese national treasures, and inspected the goods before negotiating.

Putting on his glasses, Kazama carefully appraised all the items in the collection. It took him two hours before he said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, they are all genuine items. It's rare to see them!"

Everyone sat down, and Kazama took a sip of tea: "According to your request, Director Wu, we have prepared three Ding kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, three Jun kilns, two Ge kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, and one official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. acceptance!"

Wu Tianyuan went through the collection once, and there was no doubt that they were all genuine products. Suddenly he was dissatisfied and said, "I remember asking for a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln tripod brush washer!"

Kazama said sternly: "We can't agree to this request! Although there are a lot of Japanese collections used for exchange this time, there are only eight real heavy wares! The remaining batch of porcelain is not a high-quality goods. maximum limit."

An Tian shook his head slightly at the side, expressing that he really can't help this time, Wu Tianyuan smiled slightly, and said to Lao Ren: "It's rare to come here, you take a few other experts around, I want to chat with Master Kazama alone. "

Kazama was taken aback, and nodded to the others. Old Ren led his people away. He looked curiously at the well-known Chinese kid in his early twenties, what can he say?

"I heard from Yasuda that Master Kazama is a national treasure-level master with a very high appraisal vision, especially for calligraphy and painting."

He took out a hand scroll, gently handed it to Kazama and said, "I have something here, please take a look at it."

"This is……"

Kazama took it in bewilderment, his face changed drastically just after he opened it three inches, he stood up in surprise, and quickly unfolded it all on the table.

Yasuda also came over, wondering why Kazama, who is usually nourished deeply, lost his composure like this?It turned out to be Mi Fu's Yanshanming hand scroll!
"Master Kazama is most familiar with this hand scroll, right?"

Wu Tianyuan stood up, walked to Kazama, and said in a low voice: "I remember that the Idemitsu Art Museum in Japan has exactly the same painting, right? It seems that you picked up something that was missed more than ten years ago, and finally donated it for free. precious."

Kazama's face was pale, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he desperately used the magnifying glass to identify the details.For a while, the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of his soul, and he collapsed on the chair.

An Tian understood Wu Tianyuan's eyes and said excitedly, "Master? Are you okay? What's wrong with this painting?"

Wu Tianyuan laughed loudly and said: "As expected of Master Kazama, your skills have improved a lot! The so-called Yanshan Ming that you recognized as authentic back then was only written by Tang An from Tan Jing's team in the Republic of China!"

"This is the seal imitated by Hu Jing. It should be exactly the same as the one on the hand scroll. Professor Yasuda has a look?"

Yasuda quickly took the seal, compared it carefully for a long time, and deliberately said in disbelief: "It's really exactly the same! Could it be?"

Feng Jian suddenly came back to his senses, stood up abruptly, grabbed Wu Tianyuan, and begged: "Director Wu, this matter..."

Wu Tianyuan patted Kazama's arm, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, since I've dismissed other people, I just don't want to make troubles. Now it's just the three of us. Professor Yasuda is my good friend, and I admire you very much, Master. I just want to be friends!"

Looking at Wu Tianyuan's demonic smile, Kazama sighed secretly, and said in a low voice: "As long as Tianyuan-jun can keep this secret, we will be good...friends...friends!"

Yasuda looked at the two people's amiable looks, and secretly gave a thumbs up, tall, really tall!
This time, I was worried that the old man Kazama would do something bad, but he really killed the conditions from the beginning and deliberately lowered the price.Unexpectedly, Wu Tianyuan resolved the crisis with a few words, and now he is still catching the old guy's deadly trick!

Shit royal appraiser?A piece of Tan Jingfang has been regarded as the treasure of the town hall in the Idemitsu Museum for more than ten years!He is worshiped by tens of thousands of Japanese every year. Once the news gets out, Kazama can only commit suicide by caesarean section to thank the world!
"How about this, since Tianyuan-jun likes Ru kiln brush washers, as long as you are willing to give up an official kiln and a brother kiln, then..."

Wu Tianyuan said innocently: "But I like Guan Kiln and Ge Kiln very much, what should I do?"

Kazama was having a headache, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then as long as you give up the three Ding kilns, Ru Kiln will be yours!"

"no problem!"

Wu Tianyuan laughed out loud, exchanging three Ding Kilns for Ru Kiln's three-legged brush washers, he made a lot of money!Now I finally have the first piece of Ru kiln in my hand, Fenghua money, I am very excited.

Ru kiln, one of the famous traditional Chinese porcelain-making crafts, is the main representative of porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty in China. It is one of the five famous kilns. It is named after it was produced in Ruzhou. It ranks first among the five famous kilns "Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding" in the Song Dynasty, and is known as "Ru kiln is the first" in the history of Chinese ceramics.

Ru porcelain is simple and elegant in shape, glazed with precious agate, and has a unique color, which has been praised as "agate is glazed from ancient times".It changes with the light, and the glaze color is like "after the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are shining", "thousands of peaks are green and green", the soil is fine and moist, the body is like Dong body, the glaze is thick and the sound is like a chime, bright but not dazzling.

The surface of the utensil has small openings with cicada wing patterns, and has the characteristics of "pear skin, crab claws, and sesame flowers". It is called "like jade, not jade, but better than jade" by the world.Since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, court Ru porcelain wares have been kept in the inner treasury, and they are regarded as treasures, and are more expensive than Shang, Yi, and Zhou Ding.It is called "even if you have a wealth of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain".

Its kiln was opened for only 20 years. Due to the short firing time, there were not many handed down from generation to generation. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Ru kiln porcelain was already very rare.There are less than 87 authentic works handed down to this day, and only 17 and a half are known, including 19 pieces from the Taipei Palace Museum, 8 pieces from the BJ Palace Museum, 7 pieces from the Shanghai Museum, 10 pieces from the Davy Chinese Art Foundation in the United Kingdom, and others scattered in the United States and China. There are about [-] pieces in Japanese and other museums and private collections, as well as two scattered pieces in mainland China and half a piece in a certain museum.
