Chapter 127 Tianqing
Courtyard No. 18 Qinlao Hutong was originally the residence of Duoluo Beizi during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Apart from a room in the southeast corner and a bright gate with a tall lintel, there were nine rooms on the west side.

It was later bought by Zeng Chong, the then Minister-in-Chief of the Imperial Household Department, and carefully repaired. It was only in recent years that it was lent to the descendants of the Dingwang Palace.

As for the Dingwang Mansion covering an area of ​​more than 40 mu in Xisi, it was sold to the Huabi Bank in 28 for 15 yuan. Then the west courtyard and the middle road were dug up.

It is unclear whether the Huabei Bank found anything, because the French army dug it up during the Eight-Nation Alliance.
"Golden beads and precious stones glittered brightly, red corals, green jades, and everything else."

"There are also strings of night-shining pearls, and the red gold chain, purple hairpin, white jade ring, double phoenix chisel, and eight-treasure hairpins and bracelets, each of which is filled with precious light."

Wang Deming, who was eager to try, first went to the main house of the third courtyard. The depth of these five main rooms was more than 6 meters, while the depth of an ordinary courtyard house was only 4.5 meters.

The five main rooms are divided into three bright rooms and two dark rooms by wooden walls and carved covers.

He went straight into the bedroom in the east room, passed through the kang cover, stood at the head of the kang, pushed open the wellhead above his head, and with his deft hands, Wang Deming hooked the ceiling support bar, then flipped over to the beam on the ceiling and squatted down.

He took out a match from his pocket and struck it with a "crackling" sound. With the faint light, he could easily find the several packages hanging on the hat beam.

The wrapping is made of the finest Huzhou silk. Although it has aged a bit over the years, you can still feel its smoothness and moisture.

Wang Deming smiled as he quickly picked them up and weighed them with his hands. Judging from the weight, they were not pure yellow croaker or big ocean croaker.

However, judging from the size of the packages, they are mostly porcelain and jewelry.

Carefully coming down from the ceiling and restoring the wellhead above his head, Wang Deming lined up the four packages and placed them on the kang.

Pulling the light cord beside the kang cover, the incandescent lamp emitting soft yellow light came on. Wang Deming rubbed his hands again, the exciting moment had come!

Carefully untie the ribbon that tied the package and open the first package little by little.
"The sky is blue and misty and I am waiting for you."

Wang Deming couldn't help but sing Jay Chou's song.

What caught the eye were three pieces of porcelain tightly surrounded by silk and cotton, one large and two small, a basin, a plate, and a bowl.

The basin is a narcissus basin, the plate is a round plate, and the bowl is a lotus bowl. They are all sky blue in color, verdant and rich, simple and elegant, and natural. The glaze is rich, moist and bright, like piled fat, and looks like jasper, like jade but not jade, and has very fine crackles.

Wang Deming gently picked up the lotus bowl and examined it carefully. The porcelain body was so thin! Under the light, he could vaguely see his fingers through the bowl.

And the glaze is as smooth as a mirror, you can see your own face.

He snapped his middle finger and used the "Fingertip Magic" move, and the lotus bowl immediately made a melodious and crisp "ding" sound, which continued continuously.

"After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken. This color will be the future!"

Although it was still winter, and although the stove and kang had not yet been lit, Wang Deming's face was flushed with excitement, and his nostrils were emitting uncontrollable heat.
Holy shit! I made it! A big deal!

If this isn’t Ru porcelain, I’d tear my head off!
Because Ru porcelain has been discontinued for more than 800 years, it was not successfully fired in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even if you have a fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain!

"Breathe." Wang Deming took several deep breaths in succession!
Although he had seen national treasures before, such as the two calligraphy works "Ji Shi Tie" and "Er Xie Tie" that he had just passed through Minglu, he also kept a copy of Wang Xizhi's "Ping An Tie" and a copy of "Han Gong Qiu Yue Tu", and he was also planning to find someone to pass through Minglu to exchange them;

After all, calligraphy and paintings are not easy to preserve. As Chinese people, we would feel really sad if these national treasures were damaged!

But he didn't have any particularly good porcelain. Of course, he did have a few pieces from the Qing Dynasty, including blue and white vases from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.

I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly!

He carefully put the three pieces of Ru porcelain away again, wrapped them up and put them aside; Wang Deming rubbed his hands and opened the second package.

This package was even bigger. When it was opened, the light almost blinded Wang Deming.

It is a large porcelain jar, but the pattern is colorful, with red and blue edges like clouds, wrapped in slowly blooming green lotus branches and yellow buds.

Inside the jar filled with cotton there were actually plates, bowls, tea cups and wine glasses. When they were all gently taken out, they were all colorful!

Mandarin duck lying on lotus cup, Kuilong pattern cup, chicken pattern cup, plum blossom plate, mandarin duck lotus pond bowl
Wang Deming held his breath, and gently lifted the jar. When he saw the inscription on the bottom, his pupils instantly dilated: "Chenghua!"

Damn, it's Chenghua Doucai! Continue to take a deep breath and put it down gently.

I checked the small porcelain pieces one by one and found that the inscription on the bottom of all of them was: Chenghua!

What does it mean that when luck comes, nothing can stop it!

Wang Deming's eyes turned red with excitement!

Calm, calm, and wrap
Wang Deming gently and carefully packed the Chenghua Doucai again, putting it back the way he had taken it out.

Open the remaining two packages in one go.

Inside one of the packages was a "jade lotus root" with green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers. Next to the lotus were a few black water chestnuts, looking as fresh and gorgeous as if they had just been fished out of the water.

"Gulp!" Wang Deming swallowed hard.

Inside one package was a "watermelon", with dark green vines and watermelon patterns, light green rind, red and pink flesh, and a few watermelon seeds, as if it was a freshly cut watermelon.

"Gudu!"

This should have been secretly brought back home by Zeng Chong when he was the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, right?

Why didn’t you tell your family later?
Yes, I heard from my cheap second brother-in-law that his grandfather suddenly had a stroke in his later years.
This is true, too.
Thanks to the traitor leader. If it weren't for him, Wang Deming, who is kind and tolerant, would not have started to go crazy and start to attack others.

What is destined to happen will eventually come to you!

It was already dark by then. After the four packages were repacked, Wang Deming took them to the east wing to take a look at the pool, which was completely frozen.

If you dig it open, people will easily find out the clues. Let's wait until spring comes and flowers bloom, which is also good. Keep thinking about it and delay gratification.

The things under this pool are not hidden by Zeng Chong.

Wang Deming staggered back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang carrying the package.

Fortunately, it’s just a few steps away.

Even so, Wang Deming kept his eyes and ears open along the way. After entering the courtyard, he stood at the hanging flower gate for a while before leisurely opening the door and going home.

Yan Baozhen looked at the package in Wang Deming's hand and asked curiously, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"How was the exam?"

Wang Deming replied with a relaxed look: "I got full marks in the exam and am waiting for the issuance of my medical license after the new year."

"After the exam, I took the presidents of the Chinese Medicine Association to No. 18 Qinlao Hutong to talk about the future development of Chinese medicine."

He picked up the package casually, "Look, my second brother-in-law and third brother also heard the news and followed over. They said Shouchun has been locked up at home recently and couldn't leave, so they helped to deliver the things she prepared for me."

"Ugh"

Yan Baozhen smiled with her lips pursed, "You, just be happy in secret!"

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, seemed not to hear anything. She just glanced at the package and continued to mend her clothes with her head down.

You have to be happy secretly!

Lying on the priceless cabinet, Wang Deming stared at the beams. He had just finished his exams and there was nothing going on at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Continuing Education School. He would install the ceiling on the roof tomorrow.

I have to say that Zeng Chong’s method of hiding things is worth learning.

Alas, there are still regrets!

There is no Yuan blue and white porcelain. If there was, then the porcelain item would be complete!
