golden ear

Chapter 97
"One hundred thousand!"

The young man was not sure about Wu Tianyuan's understatement, thought about the origin of the painting, and gritted his teeth.

"Keep it to yourself!"

Wu Tianyuan casually threw the painting on the booth, stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait, how much did you say?" The young man looked at it, quickly pulled Wu Tianyuan, and asked anxiously.

"I'll take the [-]! I don't want any more!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the young man's hesitation, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Your origin is not right, except for the ghost market, you will cause trouble as soon as you make a move! Look at today's market, can you find other people besides me?"

"This……"

The young man looked at the street where there were hardly any people, and he was heartbroken. Anyway, he stole it by himself, [-] is [-]!
Wu Tianyuan took out [-] cash, put away the scroll, then picked up a small jade shovel from the stall seemingly casually, and said with a smile: "This is a gift for me, the rules of the antique shop are the same as your thieves don't go empty-handed!"

The young man was startled, looked at Wu Tianyuan's half-smile expression, quickly closed the stall, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Twenty thousand people missed Wang Hui's Fuchun Mountain residence map?"

Wu Tianyuan frightened the thief away, and hurried back to Tianyuanju, admiring the authentic work excitedly.

"So you are the group of cultural relics that were stolen from the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in the early years?"

清东陵有多少皇室坟墓？共建有15座陵寝，皇帝陵5座、皇后陵4座、妃园寝5座、公主园寝1座，埋葬帝、后、妃及皇子、公主等共161人。

The first time it was stolen was the underground palace of Qianlong Yuling and Cixi Dingdongling.The second time was in August 1945, when the RB people had surrendered, and the protagonist was the bandit Wang Shaoyi.Taking advantage of the unstable situation after the surrender of the Japanese army, he led a group of people to steal and excavate four tombs in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty-the Ding Tomb of Emperor Xianfeng, the Hui Tomb of Emperor Tongzhi, the Jing Tomb of Kangxi, and the Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Then in the past few decades, almost none of the 14 tombs in the 157 mausoleums of the Eastern Qing Tomb were spared.In addition, the tomb of Chongling Guangxu in the Western Qing Dynasty was stolen. Because of the large purpose and rumors that there were many burial objects, many tomb thieves were eyeing it every year. I don’t know how many treasures were stolen.

"That kid just now was a thief. He broke into the house and stole me and this painting, and finally met you."

The small shovel is worthy of being Tufuzi's token, and with a few words, the new jade shovel confessed.It turned out that its owner was a descendant of the organization. In the early years, he robbed the tomb of a concubine of Qianlong, and was caught within a few days.He's still in prison and hasn't come out yet, but there are a few treasures left behind, and Wang Hui is one of them.

"Go, take me to find it!"

Wu Tianyuan drove the car, followed Yuchan's instructions, and found a small courtyard in a remote village in the outskirts. It had been unoccupied for a long time, and the thief stole the painting from here.

"Under the closet, yes, it's buried there."

Wu Tianyuan dug out the box after three times, five times and two divisions. Now he is a professional treasure box digger, and he is getting more and more proficient.

First move the box to the car, then leave here to talk, and then cut off the lock and open the treasure box when you get home.

"An eight-piece set of study utensils with cloud and dragon patterns made of white jade seed material made by the Qianlong Emperor?"

Wu Tianyuan was excited when he saw the topmost jade vessel at first sight, the funerary objects that came out of the concubine's tomb must be made by the imperial concubine.

The set of white jade seed material study room in front of me is crystal clear, with a pen mount, a pair of paperweights, an inkstone, a seal, an arm rest, a water bottle, and a penholder, a total of eight pieces.The bas-relief of cloud and dragon patterns, Yangwen seal carving made by Emperor Qianlong, full of domineering style!
"As expected of the royal family, even the box is made of high-quality red sandalwood, but it's a pity that there is a copper buckle missing."

Wu Tianyuan put the study aside first, picked up a lacquer box underneath, and said in surprise, "You are Longxiang Yumo?"

"That's right, we are Long Xiangmo, the secret system of the palace, for the exclusive use of Lord Qianlong, a total of ten directions."

Wu Tianyuan studied it curiously, he had only heard that the court had the Four Treasures for the Queen, among them was Long Xiangmo, which has been lost now.This is the first time I have seen the real product, and it really has a faint fragrance of ink.

"The lacquer box is also inscribed on the repackage in the Yiwei year of Qianlong, decorated with double dragons playing with pearls, and excellent brocade. The ink is sunflower-shaped, the whole body is as black as jade, as hard as iron, and lacquer leather is added to prevent moisture."

Wu Tianyuan studied it, and marveled at the fineness of the royal workmanship. The ink was also engraved with gold lacquer on the imperial ink landscape, which was collected by Yuan Yingzhai.

He carefully picked up each piece of ink, in different shapes and sizes, each one was exquisitely crafted and exquisite.

"And us! Ji Yun's inkstone!"

Wu Tianyuan suddenly heard a chattering sound coming from the box, and hurriedly opened the bottom layer, it turned out to be full of inkstones, covering ten squares!

"I am Ji Xiaolan's half-mountain inkstone with an inscription, which was a gift from Geshan Cai Xueshi. I am happy to know it, and I will never forget it..."

"Although I am not an inkstone, it is recorded in Yuewei Caotang Inkstone Book No. 30 Liufang, it is his own inkstone..."

"I, I am the famous Ziyun Inkstone, which is more precious than the Feifei Inkstone, ranked sixth!"

Wu Tianyuan took out the inkstones one by one, and cleaned them with water while looking at them.Ji Xiaolan, known as the "No. 99 Talented Scholar in the Qing Dynasty", was well-educated and a great collector. He was addicted to inkstones all his life, so he named his study "[-] Inkstone Studio", and most of his collections are famous ancient inkstones.

Every time he got a fine inkstone, he would invite Gui Fu, Yi Bingshou and other famous calligraphers to enjoy and comment together, and write poems on the inkstone.He and Liu Yong, who was the prime minister at the time, were even more like-minded. They not only sang poems and essays, but also gave inkstones to each other and even robbed each other.Ji Xiaolan wrote wittily in an inkstone inscription: "How many noble people live in the city, the prosperity of singing and dancing is not as good as the brocade. Whoever sees Kongzhai commenting on the history of inkstones will face the two ministers with white heads."

Ji Xiaolan's collection of inkstones has inkstone inscriptions, integrating fine stones, literature, sculpture, and calligraphy, making the exquisite inkstone even more beautiful.On one side of the "Liu Geng Inkstone", Ji Xiaolan's inscription on the inkstone is: "Whoever makes the inkstone, he is good at leaving room for him, and his loyal heart will be celebrated in the world." It expresses his respect for those loyal people who leave room for others when getting along sincerely appreciate.

In his later years, Ji Xiaolan compiled the collection of ancient inkstones into "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Inkstone Book", and specially listed the three inkstones bestowed by the two emperors of Qianlong and Jiaqing on the top of the inkstone book. Sun Shibao used it."

"There is Ziyun inkstone here. I remember that it is only one of the eight pieces! Huang Xuanlong, the owner of Jiansong Pavilion in Taiwan, has a piece of Ziyun inkstone. This is the second piece."

Wu Tianyuan tidied up all the treasures, looking at the table full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and the four imperial treasures, it was really pleasing to the eye.

"No wonder Qianlong likes these. They look good on the desk. I will also make a table for the imperial court in the future."

On a sudden whim, Wu Tianyuan cleaned up the desk, placed the Four Treasures of the Study that he had just obtained, placed the Kangxi multicolored vases, and spread Wang Hui's Fuchun Mountain Residence, standing in front of the desk, listening to them tell anecdotes about the imperial study, I can't extricate myself for a long time.

If an outsider sees this scene, they will definitely be scared to death. A desk is at least [-] billion!Not to mention anything else, the Fuchun Mountain Residence Map of the Four Kings of Guangqing is at least tens of millions in size, plus the Imperial Four Treasures, Ji Xiaolan's Ziyun Inkstone, is invincible!

"If Hu Jianmin sees these, it will be another bloodbath. This time in the capital, once it is auctioned, many people will grab it. Long Xiangmo has been lost for many years, and the market is very rare. In addition to the study suit made by Emperor Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan's Ten inkstones, hehe, it’s the rhythm of the boutique royal show again.”

Wu Tianyuan collected Wang Hui's Fuchun and kept it for himself, and the other calculations are a special event, the four treasures of the emperor!
