Wealth

After sending away the three Wang brothers, Fan Wubing began to examine the things they sent, sorted them one by one, put labels on them, and put them in appropriate places according to their value.

In his later generations, Fan Wubing once learned about the management system of the library in order to meet the acceptance of the superiors for his unit. In his own collection, he adopted a similar method, arranging various things according to the age and the purchase price. , The future value is arranged in different categories so that he can find what he needs at any time. For this reason, he specially made a notebook for detailed records.

　　 Among the things acquired this time, the one that Fan Wuyao cares most about is the Xuande furnace.

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, in order to satisfy the hobby of enjoying the incense burner, he ordered the import of a batch of red copper from Siam, and ordered the royal craftsman Lu Zhen and the minister of the Ministry of Industry Wu Bangzuo to refer to the wood kilns, Ru kilns, and officials in the imperial palace. Designed and supervised the styles of famous porcelains from the kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, and Ding kiln, as well as historical records such as Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue and Archaeological Diagram.

　　 In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, the craftsman selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and went through more than ten careful castings together with red copper. The finished copper incense burner is crystal clear and warm in color. It is indeed a treasure of the Ming Dynasty handicrafts. The successful casting of Xuande furnace set the precedent for later generations of copper furnaces. In a long period of history, Xuande furnace became the general name of copper incense burner.

　　 Xuande used this batch of red copper to cast a total of 3,000 incense burners in three years, and they have not been produced since then. These Xuande burners are hidden in the forbidden palace, and ordinary people only know their name but not see it. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, copper incense burners that were really cast in Xuande three years ago are extremely rare.

　　 In order to make huge profits, from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China period, the activity of imitation of Xuande furnace by antique dealers has never stopped. Just after the production of the Xuande furnace ceased, some officials in charge of the "Shi Zhu Shi" summoned the original furnace craftsmen to imitate the furnace in accordance with the drawings and process procedures of the Xuande furnace.

　　 These carefully cast imitations are comparable to the real ones, and experts cannot distinguish them. So far, there are many Xuande furnaces collected in major museums in China, and none of them can be recognized as real Xuande furnaces by many connoisseurs.

　　 In later generations, Fan Wubing also acquired a Xuande furnace, but it was identified as a counterfeit. He was upset for a long time because of this, and he inadvertently received one today. Naturally, he should care more about it.

It is said that the Xuande furnace is made of "wind-milled copper" as a tribute from Siam (Thailand), plus more than 30 raw materials such as gold, silver, tin, and gems. The Xuande furnace has strict ingredients and is particularly refined. To twelve exercises.

　　Xuande copper furnaces are elegant and exquisite in style. Most of them are used in palaces. Only a small part is given to the emperor's relatives or famous ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the famous temples, ancestral halls and temples throughout the country. The materials are exquisite and the production is extremely sophisticated. In the early years of the Republic of China, an exquisite Xuande furnace often cost hundreds of thousands, which can be described as priceless. Only later, the real Xuande furnace was hard to see.

　　 Xuande furnace is the most wonderful in color, its color melts within, and it shines strangely from the darkness. Historical materials have recorded more than 40 colors, which are loved by the world, and their colors have many names. For example, those with purple and blue and black like eggplant skin are called egg color; those with black and yellow like Tibetan scripture paper are called Tibetan scriptures; those with black and white with reddish and yellowish colors are called brown; those with the color of old jade are called ancient colors; White and yellow with red like the color of tang pear, called tang pear, and yellow-red ground, covered with colorful spots, called imitation Song burn spot; spot that is brighter than pearl sand, called vermilion spot; lighter than pig Liver, maroon, amber, tea powder, green crab shell, etc.

　　 Xiang Yuanbian, a great connoisseur, collector, and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said, "The beauty of the Xuan furnace is pearly in the color of the treasure, and tan and mumu appear on the outside."

The Xuande furnace in front of me has an ancient style. The whole furnace body is like a dragon in the clouds. The lines are smooth and beautiful, and the color is faint with a slight clear light. Although Fan Wubing wasn't sure if it was the genuine product, he instinctively told him that this thing was definitely not the counterfeit that was circulated everywhere on the market.

Fan Wuyi’s heart is even more exciting. The stove has ears, but it is not a simple style. It is still in the shape of a beast head. The design is very clever. The stove has wrong gold craftsmanship. The stove feet are regular. It even reached more than ten kilograms. If it wasn't for Fan Wuyao's strength that couldn't be inferred from common sense, he really couldn't hold this incense burner.

"Hong Xiu Tianxiang reads books at night, but I don't know whether this incense burner is used for incense or for sacrificial worship. If it is used for royal sacrificial worship, its value would be inestimable." Fan Wubing looked at it for a long time and couldn't infer it. After a while, Mosuo reluctantly put the censer away and turned his head to examine other objects carefully.

"Uh, what is this?" Fan Wubing suddenly found a wooden shell photo frame among a large pile of * supplies, but the photo frame looks very thick and a bit bulky. The portrait inside is naturally the standard image of the leader. , The glass on the surface has long been gone.

Fan Wubing couldn't help but stunned when he saw this thing, and weighed it in his hand. He felt that it was very weighty. Since his current figure is really small, this photo frame seems to be held up in his hand. The things are average, shaking up and down, I think something seems to be moving inside.

　　 It seems that there is something in it! Fan Wubing realized that there must be a mezzanine in the frame, and couldn't help but look forward to it, so he turned the frame over and laid it flat, and then lifted out the small shoe spikes embedded on the back.

　　 After uncovering the fiberboard on the back, there really is a relatively thick space with a tarpaulin wrapped inside, which looks thick and weighs about two catties.

　　 "What kind of baby would it be?" Fan Wubing was a little excited, carefully unpacking the tarp bag and spreading it flat on the ground, only to see a lot of colorful things inside.

"Oh, my God! It's really a good thing!" When Fan Wubing saw it, his eyes lit up, and he stopped breathing temporarily. If there were other people in the room, he would definitely be able to hear his heart. Beating thumping.

　　 What would be the thing that can make Fan Wuyao feel such a heartbeat?
