Chapter 399 Sending the Plague God You asked me to touch it!

"Wanli Imperial Kiln?"

Gao Dongxu said with a slightly sarcastic smile, "The beauty of Song Dynasty porcelain lies in its spirit, the beauty of Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain lies in its spirit, and the beauty of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain lies in its character.

The great significance of Yuan blue and white porcelain lies in the creation of this style of blue and white porcelain, which later became the most mainstream variety of porcelain.

Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is an important stage in the history of the development of Chinese porcelain. Its appearance marks the peak of my country's porcelain craftsmanship. . . "

As he spoke, seeing Yaolai's helpless and reluctant expression, he reached out and took off the lid of the jar and put it aside. He grabbed the big jar and admired it with a burning gaze, feeling the rich spiritual energy on the jar.

"The characteristics of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain are the use of blue and white painting techniques, bright colors, exquisite patterns, and a strong traditional cultural atmosphere.

The glaze is bright and translucent, with a slight bluish tint in the white. Most of the blue and white jars in the middle and early periods were covered with transparent bluish-white glaze, and the cobalt material used had a bright and rich color.

Moreover, the large vases, jars, and plates of Yuan blue and white porcelain have rich and complex patterns, with a layout generally having four to nine layers, and up to more than ten layers. The patterns are painted in a rough manner, with free and neat brushwork and rich pattern variations.

The main decorative patterns include plant patterns, animal patterns, human story patterns, auxiliary decorative patterns, etc. Among them, the Yuan blue and white porcelain with human story patterns is the rarest, and each piece is a rare treasure. . . .

Gao Dongxu spoke as if he were giving a live teaching appraisal. As he stroked the glaze on the jar, he continued, "The neck of the jar is decorated with water ripples on the first layer, the shoulder with peony branches on the second layer, the abdomen with the main theme, and the lower part of the fourth layer with a deformed lotus petal pattern and a painting of a treasure inside. It's also called the 'Eight Big Codes.' Yao Lao, am I right?"

Yao Lai was also surprised by Gao Dongxu's profound knowledge of identification. He smiled bitterly and said, "The new generation pushes the old generation forward. I never thought that Boss Gao, at such a young age, could have such high attainments in identification technology. I have nothing to say..."

"Haha, as far as I know, there are five Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jars in the world today that came from the same kiln. They are truly rare treasures.

They are Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain, Zhou Yafu Stationing Troops at Xiuli Camp, Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, Burning Incense and Worshiping the Moon in The West Chamber, and Yuchi Gong Riding Alone to Rescue the Lord. These five pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain all belong to stories about characters.

In addition to the above five large Yuan blue and white porcelain jars with story figures, there are three other large Yuan blue and white porcelain jars of the same type in existence today, collectively known as the Eight Large Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Jars.

I didn't expect to see the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage pot here today, Yao Lao, I would be very honored to receive it..."

Gao Dongxu smiled and carefully put down the large Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, then closed the lid and said.

"Oh - what a fate..." Yao Lai sighed towards the sky and murmured with a wry smile on his face.

Gao Dongxu ignored Yao Lai's sighs and continued to select priceless and spiritual antiques in the house.

"Tsk tsk, a Song Dynasty celadon-glazed horseshoe-shaped water jar... After the rain, the sky clears and the clouds part. This color will be used in the future, clear as the sky, bright as a mirror, a rare treasure..."

After hearing Gao Dongxu's comments, Yao Lai's eyes, which were originally filled with loss and sadness, brightened slightly. He looked at Gao Dongxu who was appreciating the azure-glazed horseshoe-shaped water pot, with a glint in his eyes, hoping that Gao Dongxu would choose this one.

However, Gao Dongxu's next words completely cut off his hope, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

"...The thing is really good, but unfortunately, it is a fake made during the Kangxi period." Gao Dongxu chuckled and put the celadon-glazed horseshoe-shaped water pot back to its original place, and at the same time picked up another eel and yellow cricket jar beside it.

"This cricket jar is quite good. It's made of ancient Yan Zhaozi jade. It's a treasure. Count this one in..."

Yao Lai's heart ached again and began to bleed. Gao Dongxu had only picked two pieces and had already taken away two of his dearest treasures.

You should know that Zhao Ziyu was a master jar maker during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. The cricket jars he made were all fine products, and their status was second only to the cricket jars produced by the Yongle official kiln. Since the reign of Emperor Xianfeng, Ziyu cricket jars have become very rare and are absolutely treasures.

Gao Dongxu walked to the corner and looked at a blue and white porcelain embroidered cushion. Then he turned back to look at Yao Lai, whose face was full of nervousness and panic, and said with a smile: "Is this something from the palace? As expected of the Five Veins, the heritage is indeed profound."

Yao Lai knew this piece was doomed too. He closed his eyes in pain, then smiled wryly, "Boss Gao, you have a really good eye. This six-sided embroidered cushion with a blue and white double dragon pattern came from the Qing Imperial Palace and served several emperors starting with Qianlong... It's full of dragon energy."

Gao Dongxu stretched out his hand to feel the rich spiritual energy on the embroidered cushion and said with a happy smile: "Indeed, it is full of dragon energy. I want this one."

Afterwards, under Yao Lai's tearful gaze, Gao Dongxu picked out six more antiques with spiritual energy.

A pair of Qing Dynasty Qianlong cloisonné enamel lotus-patterned auspicious beasts

White jade Wanfu Ruyi lidded censer from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

A Ming Xuande underglaze red high-footed cup with three fish patterns, marked "Made in the Xuande Period of the Great Ming Dynasty".

. . . . . .

It was just the last one that made Gao Dongxu difficult to choose. After a round, there were no treasures in the house that had spiritual energy, and he also didn't find the thing he was looking for. If he had to choose again, he could only choose the one with the highest value.

At this time, Yao Lai looked at the nine treasures selected by Gao Dongxu and actually breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, except for the priceless Yuan blue and white porcelain "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" jar, the remaining eight pieces, although also valuable, were still cheap compared to some of the utensils in the house.

This gave Yao Lai, who had initially wanted to die, some life back, and he even felt a little grateful to Gao Dongxu for not exhausting the resources.

Just when Gao Dongxu was about to give up and finally choose a more expensive item to make up the number, he couldn't help but see a rosewood suitcase on the cabinet.

"Mr. Yao, can you take down the suitcase and have a look?" Gao Dongxu looked at Yao Lai with a smile and pointed at the suitcase.

Yao Lai smiled bitterly and said, "Take it yourself. It's a set of ebony starboards, used for ancient navigation."

Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. He had found it and almost missed it.

Without hesitation, he went forward and took it down, placing it on the table. He opened his suitcase and pulled out a stack of wooden boards. These boards were made of ebony, a set of twelve. They were in remarkably good condition, with the sights, graduations, and inscriptions clearly visible. There were slight indentations on each board, left by the string used for measurement. On the back were inscribed "Made in the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty" and "Quanzhou."

The value of this set of boards is not simple. It is made of ebony, polished to a smooth mirror, with a yellowish-brown surface, and feels heavy in the hand.

Ebony, also known as sunken wood, is a type of wood that has carbonized to a stone-like consistency under certain conditions. Its compact, hard texture, resistant to wind and sea erosion, makes it an ideal material for marine instruments.

There is a saying in the antique business: "Having half a cube of ebony at home is worth more than a box of treasures", which shows how precious it is.

This set of ebony star-pulling boards consists of twelve pieces of varying sizes, and it was a real expense.

"This is the last one!" Gao Dongxu achieved all the purposes of this trip. He closed the suitcase with a happy smile and said to Yao.

Yao Lai's reluctant eyes swept across the ten treasures, then he looked at Gao Dongxu, smiled bitterly, and said, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness—"

"Okay. I hope we can keep out of each other's way in the future." Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"I will strictly order the younger generations of the Yao family to stay away from you when they meet you!" Yao Lai looked at Gao Dongxu with complicated eyes and said solemnly.

"Whatever you want." Gao Dongxu just smiled faintly, "Then I'll have them moved."

"Please..." Yaolai forced out a bitter smile with his heart bleeding.

Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded, walked to the door, opened it, and said to Erpang and Fugui who were waiting in the yard: "Go get someone to drive the car over and take out the foam box in the trunk -"

"Okay, boss—"

Ten minutes later, Gao Dongxu carefully placed the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage jar into the foam insulation box. After protecting it with foam, he placed the other eight pieces into the insulation box one by one, covered them, picked them up personally, and said to Yao Lai with a smile: "Master Yao, please stay..."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off—" Yao Lai breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the God of Plague finally being sent away.

Gao Dongxu smiled, walked out of the Yao family's old house, put the insulated box in the trunk, closed the trunk, and said to Fugui: "Drive carefully."

"Yes." Fugui nodded solemnly and reported to Gao Dongxu, "Boss, when I was driving, I was stopped by a man and a woman in the store ahead. The man said his name was Fang Zhen and asked me to tell you that he's waiting for you in the store."

"Okay, I understand." Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately guessed the purpose of Fang Zhen waiting for him. That woman should be Huang Yjiang.

When he arrived at the Yao family shop in front, Gao Dongxu saw Fang Zhen standing up and smiling at him, and Huang Yjiang, who was staring at him with a smile on his face and bright eyes.

"Team Fang, are you looking for me?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Our Director Luo wants to treat you to lunch at noon. Let me wait for you here--" Fang Zhen said with a smile.

"Just call me, why bother you to wait for me." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Haha, aren't you afraid that you won't give me face, so I'm looking for an excuse to harass Tang Sai?" Fang Zhen joked.

"How could that be?" Gao Dongxu smiled, then looked at Huang Yijiang, raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you waiting for me? Are you going to treat me to a meal too?"

Huang Yijiang rolled his eyes in annoyance, and said with a smile, "Can you please speak to me nicely? I was so worried about you before."

"I wouldn't do something that's unnecessary and uncertain, would I?" Gao Dongxu said calmly. He looked at Huang Yjiang and said, "I have a date to keep. What about you?"

"You dead man, can't you be a bit more gentleman..." Huang Yijiang's eyes widened in anger, and he said coquettishly: "I want to go to eat with you--"

Fang Zhen watched the two flirting with a smile on his face and said, "Come together."

Gao Dongxu glanced at Fang Zhen, who had an ambiguous smile on his face, then glanced at Huang Yijiang, who raised an eyebrow at him, and said, "In that case, let's go—"

Walking out of the store, Fang Zhen smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go drive."

"Okay." Gao Dongxu nodded, then walked towards the Maybach at the intersection. Huang Yjiang quickly followed and got into the Maybach.

Gao Dongxu looked at Huang Yijiang's beautiful legs after he sat down with a puffed-up look on his face, and couldn't help but teasing him, "It's so cold, and you're bare-legged, aren't you afraid of catching a cold..."

It’s true, although Huang Yjiang’s appearance may not be stunningly beautiful, her figure is quite good, not to mention she has a good conscience. Especially her pair of slender and beautiful legs are really eye-catching, which can be said to be no less than that of a supermodel.

She is tall, with a broad frame, and her calf muscles are tight and well-defined. She has a sense of power and beauty with a hint of wildness.

Huang Yijiang, who was a little angry at first, immediately smiled when he heard this, with a cunning glint in his eyes. He stretched out his legs deliberately, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Dongxu teasingly and said, "It looks good, right? It's white, thin, and long. Do you want to touch it?"

"It's worse than Yanyan's--" Gao Dongxu stretched out his hand without any hesitation, tasting and commenting.

Huang Yjiang's delicate body stiffened, and she stared at Gao Dongxu with her eyes wide open and her face flushed. She really didn't expect that Gao Dongxu would be so shameless and do it so naturally.

"you you..."

"Za, didn't you let me touch it? What, do you want to go back on your word?" Gao Dongxu asked back without any politeness, frowning.
