treasure hunter

Li Xueyang was puzzled when he heard the words: "Since this is the genuine Xuande furnace, why is it more precious than the genuine Xuande furnace?"

Ye Lao chuckled and said, "This Xuande furnace was chosen by Pei Miao, he should know why, let him tell you why."

Hearing this, Li Xueyang immediately turned his head to look at Pei Miao, with a curious expression on his face, "Pei Miao, why?"

Pei Miao knew that the master was going to test himself again, so he explained: "In ancient times, the imperial court made things for the emperor. There was a certain process. For example, making these 5000 Xuande furnaces did not make 5000 Xuande furnaces all at once. Instead, after receiving the instructions, first make a few samples and send them to the emperor for inspection, the emperor nodded, and then it can be manufactured, and this Xuande stove should be that batch of samples."

After hearing the words, Li Xueyang thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and said: "Oh—there are relatively few samples, and rare things are more expensive, so samples are more expensive, right?"

"Yes." Pei Miao said, "Samples of the Xuande Furnace have always been found only in ancient records, and the authentic product has never been seen. This should be the first sample of the Xuande Furnace so far."

Ye Laodao: "There are not many 5000 genuine Xuande furnaces left today, and there were not many samples at the beginning. After hundreds of years, this is probably the only sample Xuande furnace."

Like a curious baby, Li Xueyang asked again: "How did you find out that this is a sample Xuande furnace?"

Pei Miao said, "Because they are the same, but also because they are different."

Li Xueyang was confused when he heard the words: "Is it the same or different?"

Pei Miao said: "The craftsmanship is the same as the genuine Xuande furnace, but the base is different. Didn't Ye Lao just say that there is no horizontal line in the middle of the right half of the German character on the genuine Xuande furnace."

Li Xueyang asked: "The sample has a horizontal line?"

Pei Miao nodded, "Yes."

Li Xueyang was puzzled and asked: "Why is this? Why is there a horizontal line on the sample, but not on the real product?"

Pei Miao said: "There are two ways to write the character De, one with a horizontal line and one without a horizontal line are both German characters. When the samples were first made, there was a horizontal line. Why is there no one horizontal line for the genuine Xuande furnace? Of course it is Emperor Xuande At that time, Emperor Xuande summoned Taoist divination, and the mage used the technique of Qimen Dunjia to announce: Daming Palace, located in the south, belongs to Huode, with nine strokes in Xuande and fifteen strokes in De, the yang energy is too strong, and it needs to nourish yin. Therefore, the German character was reduced to fourteen strokes, so the right half of the German character on the bottom of the genuine Xuande furnace has a horizontal stroke in the middle."

Ye Lao nodded with a satisfied smile: "Yes, Pei Miao, you really have a solid foundation. Even many professionals are not very clear about these secrets."

Pei Miao said: "Actually, I was lucky. Yesterday I was reading a book in your study, Master, and I happened to read a book about Emperor Xuande. There is this paragraph in the book."

Ye Laodao: "After reading the book, I can turn the knowledge in the book into my own. This is my skill."

Li Xueyang also echoed: "Yes, this is your ability, Pei Miao, this is your strength."

Pei Miao grinned and said, "Stop praising me, I'm almost floating."

Li Xueyang smiled and asked Ye Lao: "Grandpa Ye, how much is this stove worth?"

Ye Lao shook his head and smiled when he heard the words: "It's better not to fuck this thing."

Pei Miao also said: "Yes, I will never sell this, Master, I will give it to you as a birthday gift."

"I can't ask for it either." Ye Lao hurriedly waved his hand, "I asked you to give me a decent birthday gift, but I didn't ask you to bring a national treasure. This is too expensive, and I can't afford it."

Pei Miao was a little confused when she heard the words: "How can I afford this, I..."

Ye Lao directly raised his hand to interrupt him: "Don't talk about it, just pick another one, I really can't afford this thing."

Pei Miao said depressedly: "It's hard to miss a good thing, I'm going to miss it again."

Ye Lao laughed and said: "No way, you are out of luck, who made you pick up too many mistakes."

Li Xueyang looked at Pei Miao with a look of admiration: "Pei Miao, you are so powerful, and you picked up another big leak, even Grandpa Ye dare not accept it, this must be a priceless treasure."

Pei Miao held the Xuande furnace and nodded excitedly: "Yes, this is indeed a priceless treasure."

Ye Lao laughed and said: "Put it away and continue shopping. I have heard from Lao Huang that you have picked up many big leaks. I want to see how good you are at picking up leaks."

Pei Miao said modestly: "I was lucky." He said and put the Xuande stove into the box, then took off his backpack and put the box into the bag.

Unexpectedly, Li Xueyang said: "I'll help you carry it, I'll help you carry it, let me try the feeling of carrying a priceless treasure."

After speaking, she snatched the backpack from Pei Miao's hand, and Pei Miao reluctantly told her, "Be careful, don't break it."

"I know." Li Xueyang said as he put on his backpack.

The three continued to set off. Although there were many shops, after all, Pei Miao had visited once last time, and some shops were too small. People went to the second floor.

There are more shops on the second floor than on the first floor. After shopping for more than an hour, Pei Miao saw a few small leaks, but he didn't take action. If things like this happen too often, people will be suspicious. People like Mr. Ye With the master at his side, he doesn't intend to pick up leaks frequently, he has secretly decided that he will pick up leaks once more today at most, and this opportunity to pick up leaks must be placed on the big leak.

After walking around on the third floor for a while, Li Xueyang untied his backpack and handed it to Pei Miao: "It's uncomfortable on the shoulders, I won't carry it, I'll return it to you."

Pei Miao took the backpack and carried it by herself.

Li Xueyang said again: "It's past eleven o'clock, it's time for lunch, I'm hungry."

Pei Miao said angrily, "Just eat actively."

Li Xueyang was so angry that he waved his small fist and beat Pei Miao's arm: "It's time to eat, shouldn't we eat?"

Ye Lao said at this time: "It's time to eat, I'm also a little hungry, after walking for several hours, it's time to sit down and have a rest."

Hearing this, Pei Miao hurriedly said, "Master, are you tired? Then let's find a place to eat and rest quickly."

Li Xueyang was so angry that she pouted and rolled her eyes.

They found a Cantonese-style fast food restaurant, went in, sat down, ordered a few small dishes, then poured tea, drank tea, chatted and waited for the meal.

Ye Lao's four bodyguards followed from a distance before, and now they entered the restaurant, of course they also came in. The four found a corner table and sat down, and ordered some meals casually.

Only now did Li Xueyang notice the four bodyguards, looked at Elder Ye with a smile, and said, "Grandpa Ye, you also brought the Four Great King Kong."

Ye Laodao: "Don't give them random nicknames. They have dedicated their youth and even their lives to the country. We must respect them."

Li Xueyang stuck out his tongue and said, "I didn't mean anything malicious."

Ye Lao nodded: "I know you have no malicious intentions, otherwise I will punish you."

Pei Miao glanced at the four bodyguards, suddenly remembered something, and asked Elder Ye: "Master, the two bodyguards who protected Mr. Ma Chongwen last time... Are Zhang Zhi and Jiang Long your bodyguards?"

"Yes." Ye Lao nodded, "Zhang Zhi and Jiang Long are the captain and vice-captain of my guard."

Pei Miao asked, "But I didn't see them at your house."

Ye Laodao: "Since Ma Chongwen and the island nation's rock gambling master Fujido Kawaichi won the last time, the country was afraid that the island nation would hold grudges and do something unfavorable to Ma Chongwen, so they sent some people to protect Ma Chongwen secretly. Although Chongwen and I have never met, I have been fascinated by his demeanor for a long time, so I sent Zhang Zhi and Jiang Long to Jinling to secretly protect Ma Chongwen."

"I see." Pei Miao nodded upon hearing the words, "This is the best. Although Mr. Ma has withdrawn from the jade world, he is still the spiritual leader of the jade world in our country. His safety is very important."

"Of course." Ye Lao said, "You may not know that Fujidogawa was killed at home a few days after returning to China. The islanders are so cruel to their own people, how can we not guard against it?"

Li Xueyang stared in shock and said: "The islanders are too cruel."

Ye Laodao: "However, according to the news from Jinling during this period, no suspicious person has been found near Ma Chongwen's residence, and the country is planning to dispatch experts from the Special Operations Department to stay at Ma Chongwen's house for a long time to protect Ma Chongwen's safety. , In this case, Zhang Zhi and Jiang Long can withdraw, and I plan to give them a long vacation, Pei Miao, then you can take them to play around."

Pei Miao was taken aback when he heard the words, and smiled helplessly: "Master, I'm doing business, not playing around every day."

Ye Lao said: "Compared with their work, your business is just playing."

Pei Miao really couldn't refute this sentence, so she could only say: "Okay, remember to tell me when the time comes."

The three chatted for a while, and when the food was served, they started to eat. Ye Lao felt that the food here was too greasy, so he only ate a little green vegetables and rice, and said he was full.

Li Xueyang wanted to keep fit, so he only ate half of a bowl of rice.

After Pei Miao finished his bowl of rice, he was about to ask the waiter to add more. Li Xueyang directly picked up his own rice bowl, poured the leftovers into Pei Miao's bowl, and said with a smile, "Here, don't waste it, it's shameful to waste it."

Pei Miao rolled her eyes at her: "You don't have an infectious disease, do you?"

Li Xueyang spat: "Bah, you have an infectious disease."

Pei Miao covered the mouth of the bowl: "What are you bah, you spit all the saliva into my bowl."

"Spit it into your bowl, just spit it into your bowl, the food is full of my saliva." Li Xueyang said and stuck out his tongue to show how flexible his tongue is.

"A scoop is missing in the head." Pei Miao whispered, and continued to eat.

Elder Ye on the side smiled and said: "Little Xueyang, to marry you must marry such a man. If you even dislike your leftovers, you must not marry such a man."

Li Xueyang blushed pretty, and said stiffly: "Who wants to marry him, the toad wants to eat swan meat."

Pei Miao hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the toad wants to eat swan meat. I advise you, this toad, to be self-aware. I am the man you will never get."

"You're going to die..." Li Xueyang raised his fist in shame and anger, and punched Pei Miao's body like a massage.

After eating, they rested in the store for more than ten minutes before leaving. They walked around the second floor and went to the third floor.

After wandering around the third floor for nearly two hours, they still had nothing to gain, so they went up to the fourth floor.

Pei Miao didn't go around the fourth floor much the day before yesterday, so today he naturally had to take a good look around. He had to go around each store several times, first by himself to look twice, and then to look again with his ability.

Going around for two hours, Li Xueyang raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. From eating to now, she has not stopped for a moment. When did she walk for four hours in a row, even if she stood four times? Hours, feet will be tired.

At this moment, her calf muscles were sore. After entering a store, she saw a chair, and she sat on it. Then she patted the chair next to her and said, "Grandpa Ye, come and sit."

Ye Lao also stepped forward and sat down, then pinched his legs with his hands, and sighed while pinching: "Old man, it's useless, I'm tired after walking so little."

Pei Miao said: "You guys rest here, I'll take a look around first."

This store is specialized in selling literature and toys. The entire store is decorated in an ancient style. There is a big antique rack in the middle of the store, which divides the store into two. There are counters on both sides of the store.

Pei Miao took a general look in the store first, and then stared at a blue and white brush on the big shelf in the middle.

He felt that this blue and white brush washer was very similar to official kiln porcelain from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but there was a guide price of "15" on the bottom of this blue and white brush washer.

It is impossible to buy only 15 official kiln brush washers. Pei Miao felt that he could not be mistaken, so he activated the two major abilities of Taixu Eye and Quanshen Domain to carefully observe this blue and white brush washer.

When Pei Miao finished checking the blue-and-white pen washer with his ability, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, secretly excited, and finally encountered a leak again, and it was a big leak.

"Boss." Pei Miao called out.

A middle-aged man in his 40s hurried over from behind the counter and asked, "Handsome guy, I'm the boss here, what do you want?"

Pei Miao pointed to the brush washer on the shelf, and said, "This brush wash, can I have a look?"

The boss asked: "Do you want to get started?"

"Yes." Pei Miao smiled and nodded, "I want to get started."

"Of course, please go to the counter and wait." The boss said, stood on tiptoe, took the pen washer off the shelf, walked to the counter, and gently placed the pen washer on the counter.

Pei Miao picked up the brush washer and looked carefully at the enamel and green material of the brush washer, and found that the color of the glaze and green material were very correct. The brush washer was generally white in appearance, with patterns of fishing for snow in the cold river, and a poem written in black: "Birds fly away in thousands of mountains, and people are missing in thousands of miles. A lone boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

The inner side of the brush wash is different in color from the outer side, the inner side is cyan enamel, and on the inner bottom, there is a picture of a plum tree in full bloom.

Pei Miao turned the brush washer over and looked at the bottom. There was no money on the bottom, lying on the feet, and there were three small firing points. A little bit of fetal quality was exposed on the firing points, and the rest of the place was basically full of glaze.

The ancients used a brush to wash, most of them pursued simplicity, and there were pictures and poems on the outside, which is understandable, but there is a plum picture on the inner bottom, which is relatively rare. After all, the function of the brush wash is to wash the brush. After washing the brush , the water will be black, where can you see the pattern at the bottom.

So this brush washer looks somewhat non-mainstream, it doesn’t matter if it is not mainstream, but this brush washer is more in line with the aesthetics of modern people. Modern people like fancy things, and the poems and essays on the appearance of the brush washer and the picture of fishing in the cold river are also It is indeed beautiful.

Who would have thought that such a non-mainstream brush washer turned out to be an official kiln porcelain from the Qianlong Dynasty, and most importantly, there is no inscription on the bottom of this official kiln porcelain, which is amazing.
