What Third Master Guo said might be a little exaggerated, but absolutely no one thinks it is wrong.
Yang Jing's house is certainly very good, and is definitely one of the best in the whole of Yanjing, but if compared with the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is far inferior.
Although the house cannot be compared with the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the treasures displayed in this house far surpass those in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Of course, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were innumerable treasures in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. But in modern times, apart from the supreme dragon throne, the other treasures in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are not as many as those displayed in this room.
Not to mention anything else, the four antique display shelves in the main living room alone are worth a lot of money.
The previous display cabinets were built by Lao Na using old wood he had found, but later Yang Jing felt that they were not grand enough, so he took out the golden nanmu wood obtained from Mu Tianbo's treasure. Lao Na regarded them as treasures at first sight and immediately asked a skilled old carpenter to build four display cabinets.
Now the antique display cabinet is still there, and the treasures on it are still there, but the old man who found these treasures and built the display cabinet is no longer here.
Old Na died at the end of the year of the Beijing Olympics, at the age of 79, which was considered a long life. Yang Jing had met the old man when he came to Beijing to watch the Olympics, and had a couple of drinks with him. But at that time, Old Na didn't seem to have any problems at all, even though he was 80 years old, he was still in good health.
So Yang Jing didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't use acupuncture to regulate Lao Na's body.
As a result, at the end of that year, when a sudden cold wave came, Lao Na went out for a walk early in the morning wrapped up warmly. When he came back and was almost at the door of his house, he fell headfirst to the ground and never got up again.
Lao Na's disease was the same as Yang Jing's grandfather's, cerebral hemorrhage, but Yang Jing's grandfather was fortunately saved, but Lao Na was not...
Looking at all the treasures in this room and thinking of the somewhat introverted Old Na, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh.
However, his emotion was quickly interrupted by the four masters' loud shouting.
"Hey, Old Cai, come over quickly and take a look at this pair of celestial globe vases guarding the door. They are absolutely top-notch. Even if they were placed in our courtyard, they would definitely be worthy of being the treasure of the museum!" Third Master Guo excitedly marveled at the pair of Qianlong famille rose peony and plum blossom pattern celestial globe vases placed on both sides of the door, and at the same time called Cai Yi over to appreciate them.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yi turned around and walked two steps to the pair of celestial globe vases. After just one look, he could not help but nod and said, "What a great thing! This is a genuine Qianlong official kiln famille rose peony and plum blossom celestial globe vase. It is a real treasure! Incredible, incredible! I have never seen such a pair of vases in China. They are priceless! Priceless!"
Cai Yi is an expert in porcelain, so he can naturally tell at a glance whether the pair of celestial globe vases are genuine.
The first and second masters also came over after hearing this. The second master, Xiao Lao, said in amazement, "Old Cai, stop drooling here. If you like it, tell Xiao Jing and take it home to sleep with the pair of bottles for two days!"
Master Liu also laughed and said, "Old Cai, look at how useless you are. What you consider to be a priceless treasure is just a doorman to Xiao Jing!"
Fourth Master Cai Yi glared at him, but then shook his head helplessly and sighed, "People are damned if they compare themselves to others! Xiao Jing, who was so generous as to leave this pair of bottles here? They are national treasures!"
Peter Wu on the side smiled and explained: "Mr. Cai, this pair of bottles was bought by an old friend of mine. I remember that he spent 5,000 yuan to buy them from a dealer from Gaobeidian. It has been more than 30 years ago..."
Cai Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Were these bottles collected in the 1980s? They only cost 5,000 yuan?"
Peter Wu nodded.
Cai Yi swallowed his saliva with a very unpresentable "gulp", his eyes fixed on the pair of bottles and he couldn't move away. He was a great expert in porcelain, and in his spare time he was also an appraiser for several auction houses. Of course he knew how much the pair of bottles would be worth if they were auctioned now.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this pair of Qianlong official kiln famille rose celestial globe vases were really auctioned, the starting price of just one of the vases would be at least nine figures. And the most terrible thing is that this is a pair of vases! This rare pair of famille rose celestial globe vases may be the only one in the world. If this pair of vases were auctioned together, it would definitely fetch a shocking price. I dare not say that it will break the auction record of 840 million Hong Kong dollars for the Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase with the picture of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon, but it will definitely break the auction record of 554 million Hong Kong dollars for the Qianlong famille rose hollow rotating heart vase!
How could Cai Yi not be tempted by this national treasure-level porcelain?
"Old Cai, don't just look at the pair of bottles. Look here. There is also an octagonal candlestick with blue and white twined flower patterns. I think it is another treasure."
After hearing what Second Master Xiao said, Fourth Master Cai Yi was reluctant, but he still gritted his teeth, turned around and left the door, came to Xiao's side, and after just one look, he exclaimed "Wow".
Then, Cai Yi took a closer look, then shook his head and sighed, "Old Xiao, do you think we are lucky today? In just a few minutes, I actually saw two national treasures."
"Haha, Old Cai, don't get excited. All the treasures in this room belong to Xiaojing now. If you like, you can come over anytime." Old Xiao said with a smile.
