Jin Yutong

Chapter 276

The porcelain cup in front of me, on the surface, is no different from the newly bought porcelain teacups sold in the supermarket, and it doesn't look worn at all, as if it is a new teacup just bought.

Naturally, Chen Ran wouldn't think so, but if he had never seen it before and didn't use the energy aperture to detect it, he would probably think so too.

The reason why he can recognize it at a glance is because he is no stranger to this kind of porcelain cup.

When Guo Hai and Guo Hai went to the Huakang Market for the first time, they picked up a leak in the antique city. The leak they picked up that time was also a kind of porcelain cup. At that time, he called and asked Bailao. The June lotus cup, one of the colorful twelve flower god cups.

Now the lotus cup is still in his room.

And the porcelain cup in front of me that was broken by Chen Xiaomei is also the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup, but this one is a little different from that one. It is the August osmanthus cup.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree on the cup is very tense, and in its strength, it feels somewhat incompatible with the softness of the 'flower'.However, after watching it carefully for a while, you can taste the ecstatic temperament of osmanthus, so that it is different from other flowers and makes the whole cup have an outstanding look.

Gently turn the pieced cup, and you can see two blue and white inscriptions on the opposite side painted with sweet-scented osmanthus: "The branches grow infinite moons, and the flowers are full of natural autumn."

Osmanthus fragrans, also known as laurel, blooms all year round, and the flowers bloom most around the mid-autumn month in August, and the fragrance floats thousands of miles, so it is also named Shilixiang. Flowers rank higher, the so-called two grades and eight lives.

The poems on the porcelain cups are selected from Li Qiao's "Osmanthus", and the whole poem is: In the silver palace, Ning moved to the secluded jade palace.The branches grow infinite moons, and the flowers are full of natural autumn.A chivalrous man is a horse, and a fairy is a boat.I hope that you will be able to drown in the Taoism in your future.

The osmanthus flower god in August is Concubine Xu Xian, that is, Xu Hui, the daughter of Xu Xiaode, and the concubine of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.You can speak on the fifth day of your life.At the age of four, he mastered the Analects of Confucius and poetry.At the age of eight, he was good at writing.Father Xiaode once ordered Li's "Sao" to be a small mountain chapter, but he planned to write it like this: "Looking up at the secluded rocks and looking forward to it, stroking the osmanthus branches to meditate; when a thousand-year-old encounters this, why does Quan come alone."

At the end of the poem, there is a square seal with the word "appreciation", which makes the whole Huashen Cup a perfect combination of painting and poetry.

"Aran, what's the matter? Is this cup very valuable?" Li Yuzhi couldn't help asking when she saw that Chen Ran had not only pieced together the broken cups piece by piece, but also stared at them motionlessly. She didn't see the value of this porcelain cup, it was the same as the porcelain cup she used to drink tea at home, but she knew that her son was an antique dealer, seeing his appearance like this, she couldn't help thinking of antiques, After finishing speaking, he gave Chen Xiaomei a hard look.

Chen Xiaomei was startled, stuck out her tongue, curled her lips, and hid behind Li Yuzhi, not daring to say anything.

"Why did you come here?" Just as Chen Ran looked away, Guo Hai and Chen Xiaowen walked in one after the other, seeing Chen Ran staring at a teacup, they both looked over.

"Hey, Xiao Ran, what's the matter with this teacup? It seems to be the same as the porcelain cup you received in the antique city last time..." Although this kind of multicolored twelve flower god cup looks like a new one on the surface, The tea sets I bought are similar, but they are all similar in style, with flowers on one side and poetry on the other, but the flower patterns on the porcelain cups are different, so when I first saw this porcelain cup, Guo Hai He remembered the lotus cup that he picked up together with Chen Ran. After all, the scene at that time still left a deep impression on him.

"It's really an antique." Hearing what Guo Hai said, Li Yuzhi was taken aback immediately, turned her head and gave Chen Xiaomei a vicious look, and asked nervously, "How much is this cup worth?"

Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaowen also stared wide-eyed.

"Xiao Ran received such a cup last time. If it is true, it seems to be worth twenty or thirty... yuan." Guo Hai answered carelessly, and took two steps forward to look at it. He was going to say that it was worth 30 to [-] yuan, but before he could say it, he was suddenly kicked by Chen Ran. If you want to say that the person who knows Chen Ran best is undoubtedly him, seeing Chen Ran made him look 'Sex', although he was a little confused, he also guessed what Chen Ran was thinking, and changed his words in time because he didn't want him to tell the true value of the cup.

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Guo Hai didn't say anything. If Li Yuzhi knew that the cup was worth 30 million but was broken by Chen Xiaomei, with Li Yuzhi's temper, Chen Xiaomei might not be able to drink it in the past few years. Think about it.

In fact, what Guo Hai doesn't know is that the osmanthus cup in front of him is worth more than 30 million. The lotus cup in the past was worth 30 million. It doesn't mean that this one is also worth the same value. You must know the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup The value of each cup is different, but the lotus cup that Chen Ran picked up before is the most common one.

Chen Ran remembered that Bai Lao told him that the most valuable one seemed to be the osmanthus cup. The reason for this is naturally because the August osmanthus cup is the rarest, and it is estimated that it can be sold for a million dollars.

It's just a pity that it was broken by Chen Xiaomei all of a sudden. Although it is still valuable to patch it up and repair it now, the value will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, Chen Ran didn't blame Chen Xiaomei. To him, although the value of this sweet-scented osmanthus cup was great, it was not as important as family affection. This was the reason why he didn't let Guo Hai tell his mother the value of the porcelain cup.

If Guo Hai said that the cup was worth 30 million yuan, Li Yuzhi would definitely be taken aback. Then a fat beating by Chen Xiaomei would definitely be indispensable, and with Li Yuzhi's temper, I'm afraid this matter would be nagging Chen Xiaomei for the rest of her life. .

Chen Ran's purpose in engaging in antiques at the beginning was to make money, and the purpose of making money was to make his family happy and happy. If Li Yuzhi complained for several years because Chen Xiaomei broke an antique, it was not what he wanted.

Li Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief when Guo Hai said that the cup was only worth 30 yuan, but she still gave Chen Xiaomei a vicious look: "It's so big, it still has hairy hands and feet, and it will be returned in the future." How to marry someone depends on who will marry you."

Chen Xiaomei wasn't afraid anymore, stuck out her tongue, and said with a giggle, "I won't marry if I don't get married, I'll just stay at home and eat your clothes and wear yours."

"You little girl is still relying on me." Chen Xiaomei's words made Li Yuzhi very angry, "See if I don't deal with you."

"I'm a rich man, let's see if you, a rich woman, feel distressed."

Chen Xiaomei snorted, giggled, and ran out bouncing around, which made Li Yuzhi angry and funny.

"Mom, hit her with this." Chen Xiaowen also laughed and fanned the flames, grabbed a plastic wreath on the bar counter and handed it to Li Yuzhi.

Li Yuzhi took it, and instead of throwing it at Chen Xiaomei who was running away, he slammed it on Chen Xiaowen's head, and laughed and scolded: "You little devil is not a good thing either."

Pu Chi smiled, looked at Chen Ran and Guo Hai, Li Yuzhi walked out of the indoor bar, Chen Xiaowen chased them out dissatisfied with the wreath.

Seeing his mother playing with his younger siblings, Chen Ran couldn't help but smile.

"Xiaoran, is this true?" After Li Yuzhi and Chen Xiaowen both left the indoor bar, Guo Hai couldn't help asking. After experiencing the scene just now, he didn't know what happened, so he naturally guessed It reached Chen Ran's mind.

Chen Ran nodded, but did not hide from him.

"Oh, it's a pity, the 30 million is just gone. Is it worth it now that it's broken?" Guo Hai's lips twitched, and he shook his head regretfully. Seeing that the 30 million was just gone, He still feels a little bit pained, even though the money is not his.

"It's worth it." Although it was broken, the value would be greatly reduced, but Chen Ran reckoned that with the rarity of the sweet-scented osmanthus cup, it would be no problem to fetch hundreds of thousands.

At this moment, what Chen Ran is concerned about is not this question, but whether there are such cups in this indoor bar. Teacups are usually in sets, and a set of colorful twelve flower god cups is twelve. If one is found, there is still a great possibility.

Chen Ran glanced at the shelf of the bar, the whole shelf was empty, and it was obvious at a glance that it was gone.

Taking a glance, there were four glass counters under the shelf. Chen Ran squatted down, opened one casually, but there was nothing, then opened the second one, and there were some high-heeled glasses inside the second cabinet door. .

Chen Ran just glanced at it, then closed the cabinet door, and then opened the third cabinet door.

After opening the third cabinet door, Chen Ran's gaze was immediately attracted by the pile of porcelain cups in the inner corner of the cabinet door.

When he saw the number of this pile of porcelain cups, Chen Ran's eyelids twitched.

"So many!" Chen Ran was overjoyed in his heart. There must be five or six porcelain cups in front of him, and with the broken one, there are six or seven.

Don't think that if there are twelve in a set, six or seven are not many. There are very few Kangxi colorful twelve flower god cups handed down from generation to generation, and complete sets have never appeared at all. Occasionally, they have appeared in auctions at home and abroad. Only or two, the most is three.

Only the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Forbidden City in Taipei, the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and the Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum have more collections, but they are not complete. There are only ten collections in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

For more than [-] years, Bai Lao has devoted himself to collecting Kangxi colorful twelve flower god cups. Up to now, he has only collected three cups. From this point, it can be seen that there are only six or seven cups, not to mention the complete set. If the cup is auctioned at an auction, it will cause a sensation.

Chen Ran took a few deep breaths, and then took the tray under the porcelain cup out of the cabinet door, and placed it on the counter of the bar.

"So many!" When Chen Ran searched through boxes and boxes, Guo Hai was not stupid. Chen Ran searched for it here, but he went to the other side to find it. Seeing that Chen Ran found it here, he hurried over and looked Seeing so many of these cups, his eyes widened in surprise.

When Guo Hai widened his eyes, Chen Ran, who had just put the tray on the counter, also widened his eyes suddenly, bigger than Guo Hai's. His expression was clearly as if he saw a ghost...
