Chapter 0667 – Treasure Room (III)

Walking in the middle of the rows and rows of shelves full of exquisite porcelain, Zhuang Rui seemed to have come to the ancient palace manufacturing office of the ancient palace, time interlaced to hundreds of years ago, countless people wearing ancient clothes shuttling busy in front of his eyes.

Chinese porcelain production process is extremely cumbersome, a fine porcelain, to go through countless procedures, coupled with the change of dynasties in history, it can be said that each piece of porcelain, are hidden a story, so many porcelain, is a living history.

Zhuang Rui will release the aura in the eyes, into the eyes of the place, everywhere is white, yellow, red and purple colors, do not have to deliberately observe, those porcelain in the aura of color, reflected in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui vaguely feel, it seems that the eyes of the aura has become active.

I don’t know if it’s because there are too many antiques, or for some other reason, in these spaces placed full of porcelains, it seems that everywhere is filled with aura, as soon as the aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes disappeared out of his body, it fused with it.

“Could it be evolving again?”

Feeling the commotion of the aura, Zhuang Rui was surprised and delighted in his heart.

Zhuang Rui had given a name to every change in the aura in his eyes, called evolution, and since the quality of the aura in his eyes seemed to be getting higher and higher, it seemed to be difficult to absorb it from amongst the other curiosities, so it had been stagnant since he came back from Burma.

Although the eyes have gone through several mutations, Zhuang Rui still hasn’t figured out any pattern, every time it happens it’s so sudden, and now Zhuang Rui can’t do anything about it, he can only wait for the aura in his eyes to return to his eyes by itself after it merges with those omnipresent auras in this space.

Last time in the Burmese Tallinn, he sat for an afternoon, Zhuang Rui was afraid that if he didn’t stand here stupidly for an afternoon, things would be a bit of a problem, so he tried to see if he could recall his own aura.

What made Zhuang Rui a little surprised was that the aura, along with his intention, instantly detached itself from the aura of this space and returned to his eyes.

And just as the aura entered his eyes, Zhuang Rui felt that his eyes, as if they were being rinsed with warm water, were exceptionally comfortable, so that Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but moan in a low voice.

After two or three minutes, Zhuang Rui reopened his eyes, and after releasing the aura out again, he realized that the aura was no longer able to absorb and fuse with the richness of this space, and it didn’t seem to have changed much.

“How could this be?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, and then looked his gaze into the distance, the aura in his eyes suddenly passed through the thick walls of the castle and came outside, where Zhuang Rui saw Qin Xuan Bing, who was being accompanied by the housekeeper, and was taking the white lion for a walk.

The white lion is particularly sensitive to the aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, when the aura is close to his body, he can’t help but sneeze, then breaks free from Qin Xuan Bing’s hand, and suspiciously looks at the air in front of him, it senses Zhuang Rui’s presence, but it can’t see Zhuang Rui, so it can’t help but be a little anxious.

Seeing the white lion’s behavior, Zhuang Rui hurriedly used his aura to travel around the white lion’s body, and took advantage of the white lion’s comfortable shaking of its head to withdraw the aura.

“This …… is almost 100 meters away, right?”

After Zhuang Rui retracted his gaze, his face was filled with surprise, although the aura didn’t advance, the distance released was farther again, from 30 meters to 100 meters, an improvement of more than 3 times.

But now is not a good time to observe the aura, Zhuang Rui also thought that tomorrow when Peng Fei arrives, he will sign an agreement with Ezkena to exchange the collection, after staying abroad for more than a week, Zhuang Rui is a little homesick.

Zhuang Rui froze for a short time, in the side of the Ezkena view, Zhuang Rui seems to be intoxicated in the sea of porcelain, encounter their favorite objects, there is no excuse for this performance.

Back to his senses, Zhuang Rui began to look at the porcelain on the shelves, due to the number of too many, he simply can not help, and not so much time to view one by one, simply directly with the aura to distinguish between the color of the porcelain in the strength of the porcelain, only to look at the purple aura of the porcelain.

“Northern Song Dynasty Ding Kiln Engraved Plum Vase.”

Suddenly, Zhuang Rui’s eyes lit up as a plum vase with a thin neck and small mouth and big belly entered his eyes.

“The five famous kilns ah!”

Zhuang Rui sighed in his heart and carefully took this plum vase, which was about 40 centimeters tall, off the shelf.

Bai Ding porcelain, the crown of white porcelain burned in the Song dynasty, this plum vase is creamy white in its entirety, the color is extremely pure, and did not yellow because of the passage of time.

Plum vase glaze light between glassy and milky, bottle on the carving of flowers scratching lines strong and powerful, unrestrained and smooth, sparse layout, the lines are mostly a wide and a narrow parallel, this is the Northern Song dynasty porcelain carving unique technology style.

This is also the first time Zhuang Rui to see the complete five kilns porcelain, if placed in the country, the vase is definitely considered a national level of protection of cultural relics, that is, in the domestic collection of cultural relics, is also extremely rare.

Zhuang Rui put the vase back, said to the Ezkena behind him: “Mr. Ezkena, this vase, can be used as a transaction between us.”

“No problem!”

Ezkena replied dryly, although in his collection, this porcelain is also considered a fine product, but compared to Picasso’s work, it’s nothing.

Along these up to one meter five six wooden frame, Zhuang Rui walked forward, eyes like radar, scanning in these porcelain above, only out of the distance of five or six meters, Zhuang Rui picked out seven or eight pieces of porcelain.

To be Zhuang Rui fancy, seventeen or eighteen pieces is more than, but he also understands, Ezekiel Kenner although want to get Picasso’s works, but these porcelain is also the price, they can not be too greedy, is to bear the pain of putting down a number of pieces of porcelain.

Zhuang Rui selected out of the porcelain, in addition to the beginning of the white porcelain vase, there is a claim is “into the kiln a color out of the kiln 10,000 colors,” said the Song with the kiln purple spot bowl, its color red blue, intricate, brilliant and colorful, the charm is extraordinary.

Another belongs to the Song kiln porcelain, there are the Southern Song dynasty official kiln wash, the Southern Song dynasty Longquan kiln green glaze chrysanthemum petal tealight, and a few other pieces, is the Ming dynasty porcelain, there are the Chenghua doucai day word jar, Jiajing five-color fish bath pattern jar, colorful five-color vase Wanli and so on.

Only a few pieces of porcelain, Zhuang Rui in the heart of the valuation, its value, at least in more than 200 million yuan, and still belongs to the kind of price, in the domestic auction, these objects, three or five years may not be able to see a piece.

Especially the Wanli five-color dragon vase, although the age of these pieces of porcelain slightly behind, but the production process is extremely exquisite, four sides of five-color painted Ganoderma lucidum dragon, decorated with auspicious auspiciousness, the bottom of the blue regular script paragraph “Ming Wanli year system” font neat, orderly inheritance.

These pieces of porcelain, can be regarded as the national level of cultural relics, to know, even in the Palace Museum in the millions of collections, was assessed as the national level of cultural relics of the collection, but only more than 1,000 pieces only.

Look at the side of the Ezkena face as usual, and not because of Zhuang Rui selected objects and change color, Zhuang Rui heart slightly calmed down, he selected out of these pieces, give up which one, are he can not afford to give up.

“Mr. Ezkena, why is the Yuan Qinghua you listed in the list missing?”

Zhuang Rui quickly walked to the end of the wooden shelf, has not seen his long-awaited Yuan blue and white porcelain, could not help but speak out and asked.

Yuan dynasty although only lasted more than a hundred years, but Yuan blue and white porcelain, in China’s porcelain history, but has an irreplaceable position.

Yuan blue and white porcelain opened up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain, its rich and majestic, painting style bold, painting levels are many, beautifully produced and very few heirlooms, so exceptionally valuable.

Zhuang Rui in their own major domestic museums, has not seen the Yuan Qinghua authentic, so before seeing Ezkena collection has Yuan Qinghua, really let Zhuang Rui excited for a long time.

“Oh, Zhuang, you are a connoisseur, Yuan Qinghua’s value, to be much higher than those porcelain you just picked ah!”

Ezkena laughed, snatched a few steps ahead, walked to the front of Zhuang Rui, brought him to the end of the wooden shelves, Zhuang Rui found that, in here, there was an attic cabinet that was only more than a meter high, and on top of it, a total of only six pieces of porcelain, all of which were blue and white porcelain.

Zhuang Rui’s first glance, was the top of the blue and white porcelain canister attracted, this porcelain canister is about 278 centimeters high, plain bottom wide foot, straight neck, lip slightly thick, sliding shoulder and rounded belly, shoulder following the gradual broadening of the abdomen to the gradual closure of the bottom, to the bottom of the slightly flared.

The main decoration of the porcelain pot is “Ghost Valley Zi downhill picture” describing the story of Sun Bin’s master Ghost Valley Zi, who promised to go downhill to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi, who were trapped by Yan, under the repeated requests of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi.

The whole blue and white decoration presents colorful, full picture, sparse and dense, main and secondary, all in one, the characters portrayed smooth and natural, full of charm, the mountains and rocks chapped and sound, the pen is fine, very perfect.

“Mr. Ezkena, this blue and white porcelain jar, I want it.”

Zhuang Rui’s tone is very sure, even after hitching a few Picasso’s sketches, he must bring this Yuan blue and white figure porcelain pot back to the country.

To know, in the few Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain in the survival, painted with character story theme is rare, like the “ghost valley” figure cans such as painted with character story of Yuan dynasty blue and white cans, known to the heirloom only 8, and none of them is in the country.

If Zhuang Rui can bring this porcelain back to the country, it can definitely stir up the domestic collection world, and it is also beneficial to the opening of his museum.

“Zhuang, as you know, this figure Yuan Qinghua, the amount of survival is extremely small, and this is the only one I have.”

Ezkena’s face, for the first time, showed a difficult color.
