    It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve called out, so today I¡¯m going to call out, it¡¯s been updating for a few days, and the updates will be normal until the book is finished.  Brothers, if you are watching, please give me a shout, cast your vote, everyone, come on - "We heard that you are very interested in the belongings of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so we specially asked the staff to gather together last night and this morning, and specially put them on  It's in an exhibition hall, I forgot to tell you before, so you can't see it," Drouyer explained with a smile.  "So that's it, no wonder I can't find it." "So, let's go take a look now?" Director Cade was also very busy last night to get this matter done.  In fact, all Cade wanted to do was exchange some of Cixi's belongings with Wang Tian.  After Cade explained, Wang Tian knew it and said with great interest.  "Okay, you can gather everything together so that I don't have to look for it. Let's go over there. Mr. Muratani Yasumasa, if everything is alright, will we go together?"  The latter was very preoccupied at the moment.  "Mr. Wang Tian, ??there is one more thing I want to discuss with you before I go. I don't know." Muratani Yasumasa was still thinking about the demon king Muramasa's samurai sword. Because Cade never said that he would sell the sword to him, Muratani  Tae just wanted to confirm.  Wang Tian smiled.  "Okay. Director Cade, please wait a moment." Wang Tian and Yasumasa Muratani took a few steps forward and borrowed a step to speak.  "What? Mr. Muratani, what doubts do you have?" Muratani Taizheng spoke frankly.  "Mr. Wang Tian, ??I still want to talk about my samurai sword. Although there is no problem with the price. But Wang Tian, ??I still want to confirm with you and talk about this matter first. I have confidence in my heart.  "Muraya Taimasa has always had a big problem in his heart, and Wang Tian certainly understands his mood.  "Mr. Muratani, to be honest, I haven't considered this matter yet. I don't think this matter is urgent. Why don't you accompany me to see the Empress Dowager Cixi's belongings first?" "No. I still want to say something,  The price of antique samurai swords in our country is about 100,000 euros. So, what do you think of me paying 300,000 euros? This sword is from the Tokugawa shogunate period in Japan, not just in France.  This is the only one in Japan, and even in the world, it is difficult to find the same Muramasa sword. To be honest, 300,000 euros is not that high. But Wang Tian doesn¡¯t really care about this.  Muratani Yasumasa looked at Wang Tian and said nothing, thinking that the former thought it was not enough, so he immediately changed his mind, "Mr. Wang Tian, ??what do you think about me paying 500,000 euros to redeem this samurai sword?  " Taro Muratani is indeed a rich man. He casually said that 300,000 euros will be increased to 500,000 euros. It seems that he has the intention to continue to increase it. " But Wang Tian is a person who has seen big winds and waves. 500,000 euros is a big deal for him.  . It doesn¡¯t have much temptation. What¡¯s more important is that Wang Tian doesn¡¯t want to make money with this samurai sword.  Mr. Muratani, I think I will give you this katana. The price is really not that important.  Since I promised you, I will definitely do it.  If you believe me, then accompany me to see the treasures of Empress Dowager Cixi of China. In fact, what I have arranged is that if I like something, you can directly pay for it for me. As for me, I will treat it as yours.  Demon King Muramasa exchanged.  Don't worry, the price will never exceed that of your Demon King Muramasa.  "Wang Tian was actually thinking about Yi Bao from the beginning. When it came to getting money from Mr. Muratani, he really didn't know how to ask. "Okay, that's good.  Let's just say that if you fancy any of the Queen Mother's treasures, I will buy them for you.  " Muratani Yasumasa didn't know that Wang Tian's move killed two birds with one stone. He only had one treasure, the Old Testament, so it was really inappropriate to exchange it. Instead, he asked Muratani Yasumasa to help him and collect more treasures. In addition, this was another treasure.  Rich man, he doesn't care about this, just for the Demon King Muramasa Sword, but he can contact him. Wang Tian then invited Mr. Muratani. Muratani knew that Wang Tian wanted to redeem the Empress Dowager Cixi's treasure, and he happily agreed.  Went there with Wang Tian. This special exhibition hall is right next to the Asia Pavilion, so we didn¡¯t have to go far. But not everyone can find this hall. There is a secret door here.  After pressing an unknown button, the door appeared. After opening the door, there was no one inside. Director Cade told Wang Tian that this hall was not open to the public and was only prepared to receive some special tourists. It was only available during the most common times of the day.  Opening the museum seven or eight times, Wang Tian is naturally a special visitor.sp; Wang Tian and his party entered the hall, and the strong ancient atmosphere immediately hit their faces. Therefore, not only were there treasures that Wang Tian considered, but also the furniture, calligraphy and painting works, bronzes, and sculptures inside.  Qing Dynasty style.  All of these things seem to be related to Cixi, but if you look closely, you will find that many of them were forced on the Empress Dowager Cixi.  But when it comes to Cixi¡¯s belongings here, they are really all-encompassing.  First of all, there is a lacquer incense burner in this room. It is very tall.  It is composed of three parts: the bottom foot and the supporting mud, the belly furnace body and the head dragon horse furnace cover.  The dragon and horse on the lid of this furnace are a dragon head with flying wings on its body. The joint between the abdomen and feet of the furnace is a divine turtle, and the feet of the furnace are an elephant trunk.  Looking at the entire treasure furnace, the appearance is concise, the style is grand, simple but not simple, clumsy but not crude, ethereal but not empty.  Its embossed turtle face is made of gold, with exquisite and simple details. The auspicious animals are vivid and dynamic. The dragon and horse on the furnace lid, with their heads high and roaring, ready to go, are full of strength and movement.  The entire incense burner is filled with spiritual energy, all over the burner, especially the burner body with black paint and cinnabar background painted with gold.  The censer is indeed a perfect piece of work, without any flaws.  This lacquerware incense burner is the most eye-catching in the hall, also because it is the largest.  Place it in this hall.  It is also because this lacquerware incense burner is a collection of the most representative lacquerware works of the Qing Dynasty, including many of these techniques.  ??Also, this incense burner is also majestic.  It embodies the most vivid art of the Qing Dynasty, including painting, carving and casting.  Wang Tian wrote down this lacquerware incense burner.  Then Wang Tian was asked to see again the many jade products here.  Wang Tian knew that Cixi loved jade, but what Wang Tian never expected was that the Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s jade was so different.  Not to mention the glass species, imperial green, it is the species of jadeite.  In terms of texture, it can be said that Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s jadeite is better than its shape.  A piece of jadeite with good natural shape immediately becomes a stunning piece after a little processing.  Here, there is an emerald watermelon that looks very much like a watermelon, with green skin and red skin with black seeds.  I don¡¯t know which skilled craftsman¡¯s workmanship it is.  Wang Tian couldn't help but marvel at this wonderful horse born of jade. Even he was inspired at the moment. Only then did he remember what Ning Yi mentioned about the transformation from carving series products to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and local conditions.  Furthermore, in addition to jade watermelon, there is also a jade vegetable series, including jade cabbage and jade radish.  Emerald tomatoes.  ??Imagine the entire jade vegetable series. If sold in a package, it might not be worth hundreds of millions.  What Wang Tian likes most is the carving of an emerald cucumber.  This jade cucumber is carved like the original. Basically, when you look at it, you think it is a cucumber.  This cucumber is valuable because of its good shape and good water.  It is a kind of glass imperial green, which perfectly combines green and shape. It can be said to be the best of nature and texture.  In addition to jade, the most dazzling belongings of the Empress Dowager Cixi are undoubtedly the beads.  Yes, what Wang Tian is seeing now is the night pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi.  The legend of Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s luminous pearls in ancient China is attributed to her love of rare treasures. During her lifetime, she collected many beads.  Of course there are sapphires, rubies, and jade beads.  But what Empress Dowager Cixi could not put down the most was his Night Pearl.  There are ten luminous pearls in the Empress Dowager Cixi's head. Originally, these beads stayed quietly on Cixi's head, decorating the majesty and dignity of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty.  However, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered the capital, and Cixi, who was on the run, tried her best to please them.  Finally, he selected four luminous pearls out of the ten on his phoenix crown, and sent a palace maid named Wang to see them off.  But the palace maid did not give the luminous pearl to foreigners, but brought the luminous pearl to the people.  As for these four luminous pearls circulating among the Chinese people, they will not be stolen later.  The other five small luminous pearls and the big one were probably brought into her mausoleum by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Many years later, they were stolen along with numerous grave objects by tomb robber Sun Dianying. Until later, five pearls were stolen in succession in China.  They were recovered, but three were bought by foreigners and shipped abroad.  There are still two orbs missing.  Wang Tian just looked at the luminous pearl with his naked eyes. It was so gorgeous.  As if it has absorbed too much moonlight, it has its own brilliance. In this hall, with the lights, it becomes brighter and brighter. It shines with yellow and sometimes green light, charming, like a girl.  Lying next to Wang Tian, ??the light made Wang Tian couldn't help but want to touch her.  ? ?I had heard the legend about the Luminous Pearl before, and although the current one was beautiful, it would not be Cixi's favorite one.  One more thing to say here is that among the ten luminous pearls that were used as burial objects for Empress Dowager Cixi, they were not put together. Most of them were worn on the head and placed around her, but one of them was held by Cixi in her mouth.  The most famous one is of course the one that Cixi held in her mouth after her death.  It is known as 36 colors, 72 clouds, and 108 lights.  This luminous pearl in the mouth is so dazzling that it is naturally the best among luminous pearls.  History has recorded that the luminous pearl in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi weighed four liang, two qian and seven cents. It was divided into two pieces. When closed, it became a round ball. It was transparent and dull when separated. When closed, it revealed a green cold light. A hundred steps at night.  Hair can be seen inside.  Cixi held it in her mouth to protect her body. Its value is the same as the egg-sized pearl on Cixi's phoenix crown, which is more than ten million taels of silver. It is a truly rare treasure.  At this time, Director Drouyer said.  "There were originally three Luminous Pearls in our Louvre Museum. Now there is only one left, and the other two. One was dedicated to our Queen Teresa and was decorated by her. The other one is treasured in Maple Leaf.  Danbailu Palace. "However, this luminous pearl is the size of the palm of your hand and is the largest of the three luminous pearls." Wang Tian had already thought of other places after listening to Drouyer's words.  Night Pearl, Wang Tian¡¯s entire thinking was focused on the Night Pearl at this time.  Wang Tian knows that the luminous pearl is a rare treasure. In ancient times, the luminous pearl was called "Suizhu", "Xuanzhu", "Hanging Thorn", "Mingyue Pearl", etc. But in fact, what people call luminous pearl refers to fluorescent stone and luminous stone.  .  It is some luminous material in the earth that was erupted from the initial magma.  Later, due to geological movements, stones containing these luminous rare elements were accumulated in ores.  After processing, it becomes what people call the night pearl.  And because such luminous pearls were formed during special geological movements, there is little hope of finding a few more.  "Mr. Wang Tian. What do you think of this night pearl?" Cade said nothing when he saw the former.  Continue to ask.  Wang Tian thought for a moment.  "Oh, this luminous pearl is really good. The green light it emits is particularly dazzling. I quite like it. Mr. Muratani Yasumasa, what do you think?" Muratani Yasumasa was also fascinated by it.  Being able to follow Wang Tian to hunt for treasures, Muratani Yasumasa felt that his efforts were not in vain.  He nodded frequently.  "I have seen luminous pearls twice in my life. But the luminous pearls I have seen are not as beautiful as this one. This one is definitely the crown jewel among luminous pearls." Muratani Yasumasa seemed to have studied the luminous pearls, and he would say to the beads.  "This luminous pearl has a green aperture, and luminous pearls often come in yellow-green, light blue, orange-red and other colors. When we put the fluorescent stone under a white fluorescent lamp, it will emit beautiful fluorescence. This luminescence  It¡¯s obviously weak during the day and strong at night. It¡¯s not that beautiful now, but at night, its brilliance will be even more dazzling.¡± Cade felt a little appreciative of the Japanese now.  Agreeing, "You are right. The luminescence characteristic of the Luminous Pearl is that it is weak during the day and strong at night. This is also the origin of its name. In addition, some handicrafts also use the characteristics of fluorite to make some ornaments with the name "Night Pearl".  " "Moreover, because of the rarity, rarity, nobility, magnificence, and mystery of the Luminous Pearl, it is generally exclusive to the powerful royal family. Like your Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, who was the empress dowager who enjoyed life the most in the history of the Qing Dynasty, she was naturally interested in it.  This kind of thing is very interesting. I have heard at least one story about Empress Dowager Cixi who spent her whole life searching for all kinds of jewelry, and she got ten of them in China, three of them were abroad.  The whereabouts of this one are unknown, I think you should be very interested in this one. "Of course Wang Tian is interested. Looking at Wang Tian's expectant eyes, Muratani said.  "This luminous pearl is certainly very good, but it is a bit monotonous to have only this one. However, you can accept this one and slowly look for other luminous pearls. What I am very interested in is, how much is this luminous pearl worth?"  When Muratani Yasumasa asked, Drouyer said.  "This luminous pearl is the better one among the ten luminous pearls and is worth 100,000 euros. But if Mr. Wang Tian also feels that one is dull, we can also take out the one from Fontainebleau Palace."  One is naturally not attractive enough, but even two, Wang Tian feels that it is not enough.  He smiled now and said, "Director Cade, Director Drouyer, if you look at it this way, I have to go to the Palace of Fontainebleau anyway. I like this luminous pearl very much. Besides,  I was also thinking that this lacquerware incense burner would be pretty good too. As for the jadeite, I think it¡¯s still pretty good.Forget it, although it is beautiful, I don't catch a cold.  "Wang Tian doesn't catch a cold, but Wang Tian has a lot of jade, and among his jade there will be some with strange shapes, and with his carving skills, Wang Tian is confident that he can also produce stunning works. "Then Wang Tian  Sir, you are interested in our lacquer incense burner and luminous pearl. It seems that all four treasures have been collected?  "Wang Tian chuckled. "This transaction is indeed not far away from the date of completion. But at this moment, Taisheng Muratani spoke. "Director Cade, you just said that the Night Pearl is worth 100,000 euros. I think I can help  I asked Mr. Wang Tian to buy it, but I don¡¯t know how much this lacquerware incense burner costs?  " Before Cade could say anything, Wang Tian immediately said like it. "Really, Mr. Muratani, if you want to help me redeem this treasure, then I really don't know what to say.  Since you want to help me redeem it, I believe that Director Cade and Director Drouyer will not lose their beauty.  right?  "Wang Tian and Muratani Tai were acting in a play. They were originally going to exchange, but now Muratani Tai wanted to send Wang Tian away, which made Director Cade and Drouyer no longer human. "Well, Mr. Muratani, are we not the same person?  Redeemed and sold externally.  " "How can you exchange with me and stop selling out? Then you just want to deceive me.  If you are so insincere, then I don¡¯t think I need to look at my treasure from you, that¡¯s it.  " As soon as Wang Tian got angry, Su Lele giggled from the side. This was like a joke and serious occasion. Cade really didn't know what to do. " I don't agree, I guess not. " But if I agree, I'm afraid where can I find two more?  "Mr. Wang Tian, ??that's not what we meant. Well, let's sell it to Mr. Muratani at the price of 100,000 euros for the Night Pearl and 300,000 euros for the lacquer censer, for a total of 400,000 euros."  ¡± 400,000 euros, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a coincidence or destiny, this just solved the matter between Wang Tian and Muratani Yasumasa about the demon king Muramasa¡¯s katana. ¡°The sword was 300,000 euros, and he paid 500,000 euros to buy it, Kaidekan  The long 400,000 euros happened to be in between. Muratani Taimasa and Wang Tian smiled at each other, and then Muratani Taima said to Director Cade, "Okay, then 400,000 euros, deal!"  "(To be continued)
