Return To 1977 Chapter 1068: Extraordinary origin
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
If Yuntai hadn’t revealed this mystery.
I am afraid no one would know that under the most inconspicuous small pavilion in the "Half Acre Garden", under a landscape embellishment, there is such a huge wealth lying for a long time.
But even so, if you just rely on your naked eyes to see and identify.
Calculate and measure based on quantity alone.
I still can't understand the true background of a Tianhuang noble family.
Just like the stone engraved with "Stacked Stone Pavilion".
What is exposed on the surface of the earth is only a small part, and the greater content is always hidden underground.
Therefore, only with Yuntai's personal introduction can Hong Yanwu truly understand the actual value of these treasures.
The history of these treasures is older than the history of "Half Acre Garden".
The origin is very legendary and as extraordinary as its value.
According to Yuntai, it was accidentally obtained by Daqiha, the old ancestor of the Wanyan family, when he was ordered to conquer Pingxi King Wu Sangui and accompanied the army to besiege Kunming.
Daqiha, who was stationed at the main road at the time, discovered Wu Shifan's convoy.
After he led his soldiers to suppress the enemy, he discovered that what was transported in the car was neither gold, silver, nor food and luggage, but these stones.
After interrogating the escorting officer, they learned that these items were all high-quality jadeite rough stones that Wu Sangui had accumulated in Yunnan.
Originally, this old boy planned to create a set of ritual vessels for proclaiming himself emperor and worshiping heaven after the rebellion was successful.
It has been hidden in an underground treasure house outside Kunming.
This has now become the last trump card for Wu Shifan, who is trapped in Kunming, to ask the Burmese king to send troops to rescue him.
Needless to say what happened next, Da Qiha "cut off" this huge wealth and didn't think about anything else.
Not only were the military exploits not reported, but everyone in the convoy was quickly killed and silenced, and the boulder was buried deep here.
It was not until after Kunming was conquered that Daqiha ordered his subordinates who were stationed here to wrap the stones and transport the stones into the capital in batches.
But it is quite a pity that it is precisely because of the excellent quality of these jadeite rough stones that the Wanyan family does not dare to enjoy them.
Not to mention anything else, the first jadeite Buddha that was more than one meter high was sold. Because of its texture and size, it quickly attracted the covetousness of both Suo'etu and Pearl.
In the end, in order to eliminate the dilemma, Da Qiha had to choose to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang before getting rid of this hot thing.
So he no longer dared to reveal any information about these treasures, and truly understood the principle of good fortune and good fortune.
Later, he used these stones as a base to build a small Buddhist temple to conceal people's eyes and ears, and to avoid disasters.
This matter has since become a big secret that has been passed down from father to son and kept verbally throughout the generations of the Wanyan family.
During the Daoguang period, these stones were finally moved by Wanyan Linqing into the half-acre garden and have been stored to this day.
The only change is that the Buddhist hall has been transformed into a "Stone Worship Pavilion", which looks even more inconspicuous.
As for the value of these stones, I am afraid it is really immeasurable.
Perhaps it can only be described by two words: unparalleled in the world and incomparably rich.
Because you must know that this is Wu Sangui's treasure for the eleventh year of his reign, and it is also something that can be used to obtain the king of Burma, who has countless jade, to send troops.
From these perspectives alone, it is remarkable enough. I am afraid its value is no less than that of the unique Heshi Bi in history.
In fact, the jade flat prescription given to Wanyan by Cixi was the family heirloom of Wang Yunlin.
Although it comes from one of the two famous stones of Daoxian's age, it can be said to be a first-class masterpiece in Ouchi.
But compared with the Wanyan family’s collection, I’m afraid it’s still slightly inferior.
Because no matter how good the two raw jadeite stones of "One Pot" and "Thirty Thousand Three" are, they cannot produce an jadeite Buddha that is more than one meter tall.
And this involves the most essential issue.
That is, the best old trap materials in the world today have been exhausted.
It is rare to see such good, old and aniseed ingredients in the world.
Think about it this way, how much are these treasures worth today that would have led to confiscation and extermination of families hundreds of years ago?
I am afraid that the large stone with the words engraved on it is enough to earn the title of "Emerald King" and make it proud of the entire jade collecting world.
There is no doubt that after hearing these words, Hong Yanwu must have been even more shocked, and his heart was agitated.
At the same time, he also felt the great pressure to inherit this wealth.
So he immediately retorted and tried to push it away.
It is said that these things are too valuable, far beyond the comparison of a mere two million.
What's more, he is also afraid of causing trouble...
Unexpectedly, Yuntai thought that Hong Yanwu didn't bite him when he had too many lice, and he didn't have to worry about too many debts.
She blocked his mouth and said that the golden nanmu building built by Hong Jiaguang using "sacred wood" and the restrained antique calligraphy and paintings were more eye-catching than these stones.
This is not bad at all. On the contrary, you should use these things to practice your courage and sharpen your character.
If you really don't mind the trouble, just let these stones lie here.
If we can't take a step back, the Wanyan family can use these things as a temporary mortgage and redeem them later when Zhaoqing has money.
The important thing is that the Wanyan family is no longer in the capital.
Whether it is a house or a stone, it is best to leave it to Hong Yanwu to take care of it, so that you can rest assured.
Look, what else does Hong Yanwu have to say about such an upright and upright nephew?
I could only admit it by holding my nose.
But having said that, the most difficult thing for him to restrain now is the curiosity generated by the legendary stories, and he really wants to see the quality of these stones.
So seeing is believing, he simply went to find tools and pried out a rough stone the size of a football from the corner of the stone pile under the pavilion.
This is the smallest one.
Then he took it under the water pipe and washed it vigorously.
After struggling for a long time, a black-yellow stone was exposed, with pits and pits like a giant potato.
The next day, he went to the jade workshop run by his family to have an expert open the eye of the stone.
Retired jade craftsman Lao Bai is a city-level master of craftsmanship. He has been doing this all his life, so he naturally has a very broad vision.
I was stunned when I saw this stone.
Then he walked around the big stone ball and smoked three "Greater China" sticks handed to him by Hong Yanwu, but still didn't say anything.
It made Hong Yanwu's heart feel as uncomfortable as a cat's scratching.
At the end, Master Bai threw away the cigarette **** and slowly said that the stone looked like pineapple skin, and then asked Hong Yanwu where he got it.
Listening to what he said about Longchuan, Master Bai secretly shook his head again.
Muttered, "Isn't there such stone in Longchuan? It looks like I am cutting wood in Myanmar, but there is no such big material? The maximum is only one or two kilograms, and I can't even find material as big as a watermelon." , the origin of the stone in front of me is a bit... ambiguous."
In the end, Master Bai also became curious and decided to unpack the stone himself.
Unexpectedly, after just a layer of skin, he became outstanding.
The red jade is like blood and fire!
But he was excited, and Master Bai soon regained his composure.
Because the human heart is still separated from the belly, let alone the stone.
To be or not to be, to be good or not to be, no one can say for sure. The color changes repeatedly and changes in thousands of ways, all in an instant.
Master Bai thinks that maybe this is a coincidence, but he can't be happy too early, because the stone may not be full of red jade.
But then I cut off the edge with a long knife, and cut a piece of the back, and it was still the most beautiful red color.
Not only was he speechless now, Master Bai's mouth was twitching.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, they were as charming as an elf.
"The best...the best ice-bred cockscomb red...why is it so big! I have never heard of it..."
He muttered something and then played with the piece of material, unable to speak anymore.
Not to mention Hong Yanwu's mood, he now completely believes in Wu Sangui's aesthetics.
This old traitor is indeed a man who has seen the world. He is worthy of being the master of Yunnan and plundering it for ten years.
I still have a good eye for it, and what I saw is really right!
Only for this shining red jade, no other piece can be found in the whole capital, or even in the whole country.
To put it bluntly, it is just a big dumpling, with a thin layer of skin on the outside and full of fillings on the inside.
If a piece of red jade as big as a fist is worth hundreds of thousands now, then the one in front of you is worth at least two to three million.
If it were placed twenty years later...then...it would be immeasurable!
Oh my God, my dear, are you going to have smoke rising from your ancestral graves in this life?
How did you make a fortune?
It's so rich that it feels like a dream...
