Rebirth of India: Superior

Main text Chapter 76 Guiguzi goes down the mountain

Shakru agreed with Ezkenna's words. No matter how rich you are, you can't enjoy the services of some Indian servants abroad, so living in India is more superior. This is also the reason why many Indian rich people are unwilling to leave even if the municipal conditions in their own country are worse. This is in sharp contrast with the rich people in Brazil. ☆→ (When I have time to write a novel about Brazil, I believe that the real Brazil will surprise many people.)

After a while of greeting, Ezkenna took Shakru to his treasure room. Shakru followed Ezkenna along the wooden stairs to the second floor of the castle. On the walls on both sides of the stairs, the decoration is as magnificent as the living room, but in the gorgeous and beautiful, there is no vulgarity. There are many murals inlaid in glass hanging on the weapons. Although Shakru doesn't know oil painting, he feels that it should not be ordinary.

After going up to the second floor of the castle, the first thing you see is also a living room, and there is a separate fireplace. The light shining from the sky makes the whole living room look very bright even without turning on the lights. Ezkenna did not stop, but led Shakru through a short corridor. He stopped in front of a door that was more than three meters high and felt very oppressive when standing under it. He took out the key and opened a solid wooden door. At this time, Shakru, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt that the temperature seemed to have risen by several degrees, and it felt a little dry, as if he had come from the forest to the desert.

"Dear Mr. Pandit, my ancestors have been collecting some Chinese and European artworks. Now, they are all presented to you." Ezkenna, who was originally complacent, seemed to suddenly remember something and said quickly: "Oh, please wait a moment, I have to turn off the anti-theft system first." Then he operated on a display panel facing the door for a full minute, and then nodded to Shakru to go in.

For this collection room, Ezkenna spent a lot of thought. If Shakru had worn infrared glasses just now, he would have seen that every corner of this treasure room was full of infrared rays, and even a mosquito flying in would cause an alarm.

After getting Ezkenna's permission, Shakru walked into the room, and then he was stunned for a moment, because in his opinion, this was a room, it should be the second floor of the entire castle, except for the living room when he went upstairs just now, everything should be here, at least Shakru standing by the door, he couldn't see the end of the treasure room at a glance.

Such a large space, everything in sight is filled with things, Shakru didn't know how many collections there are here, I'm afraid that even an ordinary museum is not as rich as Ezkenna's family, right?

At the entrance of Ezkenna's treasure hall, there are silverware and weapons from various countries that he has collected over the years, as well as some shields and armor. There is a set of medieval armor worn on a model with a helmet, which even scared Shakru, thinking that it was a real person standing there.

Walking into this hall that is comparable to a museum, Shakru found that there was a slight machine sound inside. Following the sound, he realized that it was an air dryer, and there was more than one. Basically, there was such a machine in the corner every 20 to 30 meters, so that the air inside was always kept dry.

The floor of the hall was covered with thick red carpet, which was why the noise was reduced to the lowest point and it didn't seem very noisy. I guess Ezkenna took this factor into consideration when installing it. The reason why so many air dryers were installed is because moisture is the biggest factor that causes damage to antiques.

Therefore, Shakru sincerely said: "Mr. Ezkenna, you are a real collector!"

Ezkenna was very proud of this. Not many people have come into his treasure room, but everyone who has come is shocked by his rich collection, so he happily led the way in front and said: "Mr. Pandit, the Chinese collections you want are all in the middle. Let me take you there."

When he came to the middle of the collection hall, the rows of porcelain displayed on the wooden shelves immediately caught Shakru's eyes. Walking among the rows of shelves, Shakru seemed to have come to the ancient palace workshop. Time was intertwined to hundreds of years ago, and countless people in ancient costumes were busy shuttling in front of him.

The production process of Chinese porcelain is extremely complicated. The emergence of a fine porcelain requires countless processes, plus the change of historical dynasties. It can be said that every piece of porcelain hides a story. So many porcelains are actually a living history.

Although Shakru's appreciation level was not high, he came with a purpose after all, so after searching for a while, his eyes were attracted by the blue and white porcelain jar on the top shelf. This porcelain jar is about 27 or 28 cm high, with a plain bottom and wide ring foot, a straight mouth and short neck, a slightly thick lip, a sloping shoulder and a round belly, which gradually widens below the shoulder, gradually narrows to the belly, and slightly tilts to the bottom.

The main decoration of the porcelain jar is "Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain", which describes the story of Guiguzi, Sun Bin's master, who agreed to go down the mountain to rescue the famous general of Qi State who was trapped by Yan State at the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State. The whole blue and white pattern is rich in color, full of pictures, well-proportioned, clearly divided into primary and secondary, and integrated. The characters are portrayed smoothly and naturally, full of charm, and the mountains and rocks are rendered vividly and exquisitely, which is very perfect.

Yes, this is the famous Yuan blue and white porcelain jar "Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain" that was sold for 230 million yuan in later generations. You should know that among the few Yuan blue and white porcelains in existence, those with stories about people are even rarer. There are only 8 Yuan blue and white porcelain jars with stories about people like the "Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain" porcelain jar, and none of them are in China.

After finally finding the most important treasure this time, Shakru said to Ezkenna: "Mr. Ezkenna, I want this porcelain jar."

Ezkenna nodded and said: "Okay, you can choose 19 more pieces."

Although he can choose 19 more pieces of porcelain, Shakru is a bit troubled. After all, he is not a professional collector of cultural relics. He knows that Guiguzi went down the mountain because it was so famous back then, but he knows nothing about other porcelains. Although he knows that Ezkenna's collection here must be good things, he is not sure which one is the most valuable. Just when he was worried, suddenly a strange-shaped thing in the corner of the shelf caught his attention. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
