Zhang Moyan was stunned. Compared with Xiao Guotao's regretful expression and Geng Baishan's deep hatred, this voice of affirmation of Chen Yun was really different.
Zhang Moyan didn't know what to think as if she was afraid, but this feeling of contradiction fit well with something deep in her consciousness - the mother in the dream loved her so much, but in reality, her mother was in trouble when she encountered it.
Abandoned her during the kidnapping.
"Is the kiln site you dug up at your construction site the reason why my biological mother came here?" All the previous information about Chen Yun showed that she could not appear in one place for no reason.
"Of course, we went to Luoyang specially to invite them over." Yuan Hongying's answer was a bit surprising.
"Luoyang," Xiao Xingyu quickly reacted, "Twenty-six years ago, a kiln site was also discovered in Luoyang. My second grandfather Xiao Guoxi was invited by the Luoyang Cultural Relics Bureau to participate in the inspection. That's when you invited him here.
?”
"Yes, our country entered a period of rapid development around 2000, and construction projects were being developed all over the country. It is not surprising that ancient tombs and ancient relics were discovered as soon as the ground was started. In the Central Plains, it is not surprising that Song kiln was suspected to be discovered in Luoyang at that time
The site has been widely reported by the media and made a sensation in the news. The local government attached great importance to it and summoned many domestic experts to inspect it, the most authoritative of whom is Mr. Xiao Guoxi."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yuan's face showed a melancholy look: "Actually, our ancestors had rules that future generations cannot engage in porcelain manufacturing, and they are not allowed to associate with porcelain workers. Ancient porcelain doors like your Xiao family are even more
We should stay away from it. But what we encountered back then was an unprecedented difficulty. If there was a slight mistake, the elders in the family and those responsible including me would face prison. It was also a coincidence of God's will that a suspected Song Dynasty kiln site was also discovered in Luoyang.
They are basically the same as us, so the experts they invited can naturally judge the situation on our side. We can't wait for time, so in desperation, we had to find Mr. Xiao privately and come to Ruyang to have a look, hoping that he would be sure
Let’s find out whether the land here is an official kiln from the Song Dynasty, so that we can come to a conclusion as soon as possible so that we can make the next step.”
Zhang Moyan looked solemn when she heard this, and shook her head slightly: "You are so bold to go against the teachings of your ancestors."
When Yuan Hongying, Wang Zhongguo, Wang Wenlong and Xiaowa heard this sentence, their scalps tightened.
"What we think is that the Wang family has long since disappeared from the porcelain world and has moved to Ruyang for hundreds of years. As long as the family background is not exposed, there will be no problem." Yuan Hongying explained weakly.
"But it backfired later, didn't it?" Xiao Xingyu twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed, "My second grandfather is an experienced old mage. His family is famous for being very discerning. As far as I know, my mother-in-law is also an ordinary person. There should be nothing wrong with her.
Can you escape their eyes?"
Xiao Xingyu looked at Zhang Moyan, who nodded. In just a few hours, Zhang Moyan actually listened to Xiao Xingyu's silent mother-in-law. You must know that she still can't talk about Chen Yun in a natural way.
Say mom.
"Indeed," Yuan Hongying nodded lowly and sighed sincerely, "we are too optimistic."
Old Mrs. Yuan was a little autistic and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Seeing the situation, Wang Wenlong picked up a glass of wine to warm up the scene: "We can't just talk. Come on, dear nephew, Zhongguo and Yanzu and I will toast you couple. It will make the old lady happy."
It's all thanks to you that we have a banquet in such a luxurious place, so come and go!"
Xiao Xingyu smiled and raised the glass happily, and Zhang Moyan couldn't bear to brush it. When she held up the glass, she noticed that Xiao Xingyu poured her juice. Then her mind flashed back to the time when she and Xiao Xingyu first met after drinking.
Going crazy... what a psychological shadow this has left on people!
Zhang Moyan lowered his head and took a sip of juice, then returned to the topic: "How did they find out that you are the Wang family who hold the secret recipe for azure glazed porcelain?"
Mrs. Yuan made up her mind: "We don't dare to admit that we have the secret recipe for azure glazed porcelain."
"But..." She hesitated, "Maybe Mr. Xiao and your mother think we have it."
"Oh?" Xiao Xingyu followed closely, "'They think', what does that mean?"
Yuan Hongying was silent for a moment, and after all she had no intention of hiding anything, she said: "In those days, there were not hotels everywhere like now. After Mr. Xiao came, we arranged for them to eat and live together in our own home, so that we could entertain the experts.
Secondly, it is convenient and close to the construction site. Mr. Xiao is approachable and has no pretensions, and he is also very enthusiastic. My mother-in-law once fainted from exhaustion outside, and it was he who found her and carried her back to the house. It was that time that my mother-in-law fainted from exhaustion.
A vase in the house interested him very much. He looked at it for a long time and asked why we were willing to use such a good vase to grow flowers."
Zhang Moyan had a keen understanding: "Is that vase the plum vase with the picture of Sima Guang smashing the vat?"
"yes."
"How did you answer him then?"
"We laughed as soon as we heard it and said there was nothing we couldn't bear to do. This bottle was thrown into a pile of junk in the woodshed of the old house. It was planned to be thrown away when the house was renovated. My father-in-law thought it was best to leave it in the room for her.
It’s good to grow flowers, so I left them here.”
"In the rags of the firewood shed?" Xiao Xingyu was in disbelief. He lamented that the descendants of the Wang family who once kept pace with his own family could actually meet porcelain and not know each other. It was really embarrassing. "Then how can you believe it later?
Is this plum vase indeed unusual?"
"Because Mr. Xiao asked my mother-in-law if she could sell him the bottle."
Yuan Hongying made up her mind and said: "Maybe Mr. Xiao had already guessed our identities at that time."
Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu looked at each other. Indeed, something that made a great expert who had seen countless things take the initiative to acquire it made everyone alert.
Yuan Hongying continued: "My mother-in-law tentatively offered the price to 300,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao accepted it. 300,000 yuan was not a small amount 26 years ago when the per capita salary was only 500 to 600 yuan.
We hid the bottle that day and never took it out again. The reason why we hid it was not only because my father-in-law passed away early, but also because this plum vase carries too many feelings and memories for the old man. We also thought that if the time came that it would be a last resort,
When the time comes, you can use this plum vase as a trade-off."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiao Xingyu thought for a moment that the whole family surnamed Wang thought that this plum vase was valuable and could be used as money, but they did not expect that there might be a secret in it.
There are clues about celadon porcelain, which is indeed useless in the field of porcelain.
Yuan Hongying's words sounded reasonable, but Zhang Moyan felt that something was wrong: "My second grandfather is willing to pay a high price to buy a plum vase. It only shows that the plum vase has a high collection value, but it does not mean that it is the same as Tianqing."
Is it related to the secret recipe of glazed porcelain?”
Xiao Xingyu cast an approving look at Zhang Moyan. His logical analysis was so clear. Coupled with the fact that he said "my second grandpa", he strongly demanded that his daughter-in-law's self-consciousness, which is full of ownership spirit, be included in the modern outstanding list.
Female role model.
Yuan Hongying affirmed Zhang Moyan's question: "You are right. What really made us pay attention to it was your mother's intervention."
Zhang Moyan repeated two words emphatically: "Intervention?"
Xiao Xingyu knew what surprised Zhang Moyan and asked, "When you use this word, do you mean that my mother-in-law came to you on her own initiative?"
"Yes, she came to us. In fact, we didn't pay much attention to this girl before. Your mother-in-law is very quiet and doesn't talk much. She usually only works with Mr. Xiao and has almost no contact with us.
But soon after we rejected Mr. Xiao’s purchase of Mei Ping, your mother took the initiative to find my mother-in-law, and she proposed to make a deal with us."
Zhang Moyan: "What deal?"
"Well, the content of the deal is that she is responsible for finding evidence for us that the construction site is not the site of an official kiln, and we will give her the plum vase after the dust settles."
"Gift it to——her?" Xiao Xingyu frowned strangely.
As a porcelain man who chased after each other on the road of azure glazed porcelain, he was almost knee-jerk in his sensitivity to the division of key elements. However, as soon as the words came out, he knew he was wrong.
, why are you and me separated from your mother-in-law?!
He immediately laughed at Zhang Moyan and humbly compensated: "Our mother is really a heroine, so capable!"
Zhang Moyan was in a daze and did not answer his words. It took a long time before she spoke: "Why is she so confident that she can find evidence that your construction site is not an official kiln?"
"Many years later, we also wanted to know the reason. After all, just a few days after they arrived, even Mr. Xiao didn't dare to make any conclusions. How could she have that kind of confidence?! But at that time, we didn't care about these, as long as
She can save our urgent needs, no matter how valuable the plum vase is, she can still give it to her... Later, it turns out that your mother did it! Looking back now, she really seemed to be able to predict the future!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Hongying, Wang Zhongguo, and Wang Wenlong all showed expressions of admiration on their faces, while Zhang Moyan couldn't help but feel a gleam on his back as he listened, and his hands under the table began to sweat gradually.
A prophet?
How could such a thing be possible, and how could it be so simple?
Zhang Moyan swallowed her tight throat and asked, "What did she do?"
Yuan Hongying turned to Wang Zhongguo, who was already looking at her: "After we agreed to your mother's conditions, she selected a few young adults from our family to go to the construction site, and Zhongguo was also there. There were two cleared porcelain pieces in the construction site site.
According to previous research by experts, the pit is an abandoned pit. The reason why it is full of porcelain pieces is because they were previously unqualified defective products and were waste left behind after deliberate destruction by humans. Your mother took them to the porcelain pile day and night.
After searching for seven days and seven nights, I finally found a few pieces of porcelain among millions of broken porcelain pieces to piece together a complete bowl bottom. The sun pattern on the bottom of the bowl clearly formed the word "Wu"! That is Kou Tian Wu.
, this kind of Yangwen is the mark of ancient folk kilns to attract customers, which is enough to deny the identity of this kiln site as an official kiln!"
