I'm afraid no one would know that under the most inconspicuous pavilion in "Half Acre Garden", under a landscape embellishment, there is such a huge wealth lying all day long.
But even so, if you just rely on your naked eyes to identify it.
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.
I bet the history of these treasures is older than the history of "Half Acre Garden".
Its origin is very legendary and its value is as extraordinary.
According to Yuntai, it was accidentally obtained by Daqiha, the old ancestor of the Wanyan family, when he was ordered to conquer Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and accompanied the army to besiege Kunming.
At that time, Daqiha, who was stationed at the main road, discovered Wu Shifan's motorcade.
After he led his soldiers to annihilate the area, he discovered that what was carried in the car was neither gold, silver, treasures nor food and baggage, but these stones.
Later, after interrogation, the escort officer learned that these items were high-quality jadeite rough stones that Wu Sangui had accumulated in Yunnan.
Originally, this old boy planned to create a set of ritual utensils for proclaiming himself emperor and worshiping heaven after the rebellion was successful.
It has been hidden in an underground treasure house outside Kunming.
Now it became the last trump card for Wu Shifan, who was 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 merits not reported, but everyone in the convoy was quickly killed and silenced, and a large stone was buried deep here.
It was not until after Kunming was conquered that Daqiha ordered his subordinates who were specially stationed here to wrap the stones and transport the stones into the capital in batches.
But it is quite a pity that the Wanyan family did not dare to enjoy it because of the excellent quality of these rough jade stones.
Not to mention anything else, the first jadeite Buddha that was more than one meter high was sold out. Because of its texture and size, it was the best in the world. It quickly attracted the covetous attention of both Suo'etu and Mingzhu.
In the end, in order to eliminate the dilemma, Da Qiha had to choose to offer a tribute to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in order to get rid of this hot thing.
So he never dared to leak 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 for generations in the Wanyan family and has been kept verbally.
Later, during the Daoguang period, these stones were finally moved by Wanyan Linqing into the half-acre garden, where they have been stored ever since.
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 emeralds to send troops.
Just thinking about it from these perspectives 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 square given to Wanyan by Cixi was the family heirloom of Wang Yunlin.
Although it comes from one of the two famous stones of Dao Xian'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 even 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.
Such good, old and aniseed ingredients are rarely seen in the world anymore.
Think about it this way, how much is the value of these treasures that could have led to confiscation and extermination of families hundreds of years ago today?
I'm afraid that the big stone with the words engraved on it alone 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 and causing trouble...
Unexpectedly, Yuntai thought that Hong Yanwu didn't bite him when he had too many lice, and he didn't worry about too many debts.
They blocked his mouth and said that the golden nanmu building built by Hong Jiaguang using "sacred wood" and the restrained antiques, calligraphy and paintings were more eye-catching than these stones.
This is not the case to some extent. On the contrary, you should use these things to practice your courage and sharpen your character.
If you really don't mind the trouble, don't worry, 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.
No matter 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 his uncle who is such an upright and honest nephew?
I could only recognize this by pinching 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 that really looked like a giant potato.
The next day, he went to the jade workshop run by his family and asked experts to open the stone palm eye.
Lao Bai, a retired jade craftsman, is a city-level master of craftsmanship. He has been doing this for his whole 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 stirred up Hong Yanwu's heart and made him feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching him.
Finally, Master Bai threw away his cigarette butt and slowly said that the stone looked like pineapple peel, and then asked Hong Yanwu where he got it.
Listening to him talking about Longchuan, Master Bai shook his head secretly.
He murmured, "There is no stone like this in Longchuan? It looks like I am cutting wood in Myanmar, but there is no such big stone? The maximum is only one or two kilograms, and I can't even find stone the size of a watermelon. What's in front of me?"
The origin of this stone is a bit... ambiguous."
In the end, Master Bai also became curious and decided to cut out the stone himself.
Unexpectedly, after just a layer of skin, it turned out great.
A red jade that is as bloody as fire!
But the excitement turned into excitement, and Master Bai soon regained his composure.
Because the human heart is still separated from the belly, let alone the stone.
Whether there is something or not, whether it is good or not, no one can say for sure. The color changes repeatedly, and thousands of changes occur in an instant.
He thought it might be a coincidence, but he couldn't be too happy because the stone might not be filled with red emeralds.
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.
Now not only was there nothing to say, Master Bai's mouth was twitching.
I simply couldn't believe my eyes, they were as charming as an elf.
He muttered, "The best...the best ice-bred cockscomb red...why is it so big! I have never heard of it..."
I just played with this piece of material and was speechless.
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 a tyrant in Yunnan and plundering it for ten years.
What you saw is really right!
Just for this shining red jade, no other piece could 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 crust on the outside and fillings 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 another twenty years later...then...it would be immeasurable!
Oh my god, bro, are you going to have smoke rising from your ancestral graves in this life?
