Chapter 1424 Yuan Blue and White?
Master Tian took a breath and showed an appreciative look, "Young friend Chen Xuan, your insight is indeed sharp. We were blind. I declare that this painting of the Ma family is a forged artwork!"
"Therefore, this round is won by the Qin family's Yufangzhai!"
The result completely reversed, and everyone was caught off guard.
The Ma family, who were originally overjoyed, suddenly changed their expressions from elation to despair upon hearing this.
On the Qin family's side, there was jubilation. They never expected happiness to come so suddenly!
"Everyone, I sincerely apologize. We from the Ma family were mistaken. I guarantee that such a thing will never happen again."
Ma Erdao took a breath, suppressed his anger, and quickly apologized.
To participate in a competition with a fake item at such an important occasion was definitely a shameful and reputation-damaging matter for the Ma family, so he had to apologize to everyone.
Some who favored the Ma family also said, "Even the expert masters were mistaken, so it's understandable for the Ma family to be mistaken."
Many nodded slightly.
However, Chen Xuan said, "It's good that you were mistaken. I'm afraid someone did it intentionally!"
"You..."
Ma Erdao's expression turned fierce!
His eyes shot out a menacing glare, as if he wanted to devour Chen Xuan alive.
If it weren't for Chen Xuan, he would have gotten away with it. But it was Chen Xuan who ruined his plans!
"What 'you'? I'm just stating my opinion."
Chen Xuan curled his lips.
Although he knew that it was highly likely that the Ma family had engaged in deception, he currently had no evidence to prove that the Ma family had done it intentionally. He could only taunt the Ma family and incite others.
Ma Erdao endured it and said, "We, the Ma family, admit defeat this time. However, for the upcoming porcelain and jade rounds, our Ma family is well-prepared and will surely win without leaving you any room for argument!"
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Hahaha, it seems the Ma family is well-prepared for porcelain. I wonder what precious porcelain they have prepared for the treasure duel?"
The host, sensing the intense atmosphere, quickly changed the subject.
Ma Qianqian came down with a flushed face, while Ma Erdao winked at another member of the Ma family. That person then unveiled a red cloth from beside them, revealing a large gift box that suggested the contents were not ordinary.
Three members of the Ma family carried the gift box onto the stage, all panting and sweating profusely, as if the item inside was very heavy.
The antique masters on stage were filled with curiosity:
"Judging by its size, this is definitely a large porcelain piece. Large porcelain pieces that still exist today are extremely rare, and each one is incredibly precious."
"Indeed, generally speaking, the larger the porcelain, the more precious it is. Such a large piece of porcelain is probably very valuable!"
"Why don't we try to guess what kind of porcelain it is? Whoever guesses correctly, we'll treat them to a meal!"
"Interesting, I'll go first. I guess it's a Song Dynasty Official Kiln long-necked vase with gold threads and iron lines. The Song Dynasty Official Kiln long-necked vase with gold threads is very heavy, which fits the current situation."
An elderly master beside him shook his head, "I don't think so. While the Song Dynasty Official Kiln long-necked vase is heavier than ordinary vases, it's not this long. I think it should be a Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou Kiln carved floral plum vase!"
"How is that possible? I think it's..."
Each master had their own opinion, and none were convinced, arguing fiercely.
The host couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Masters, why don't we open it and take a look?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we almost forgot the main business."
"We'll know once we open it!"
Only then did the expert masters remember the main business.
At the host's signal, a staff member stepped forward and opened the lid!
Under the gaze of thousands, an extremely vibrant blue appeared in everyone's sight. People were as if enchanted, motionless, and dumbfounded.
Chen Xuan was also amazed by what was inside the box.
It was a very tall porcelain piece, delicate and fine, with a glaze as transparent as water and a light body. The pure white porcelain was adorned with blue patterns, elegant and fresh, full of vitality. Judging from the appearance of the vase, it should be a very exquisite blue and white porcelain!
In the history of Chinese porcelain, every piece of blue and white porcelain is extremely valuable.
And within this porcelain, amidst its exquisiteness, there was a hint of ancient simplicity and elegance...
"Delicate and fine, yet ancient and elegant. This is Yuan blue and white, this is Yuan blue and white!"
Someone recognized it and shouted excitedly.
The blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties was already valuable, but the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan dynasty, due to its scarcity, was even more exquisite and more expensive.
Generally, the existing pieces were small in size. It was rare to find such a large piece.
"This is indeed Yuan blue and white, but this Yuan blue and white... has a flaw."
Ma Erdao glanced at the person beside him and motioned for them to lift the porcelain. A mouth-sized chip was seen at the mouth of the vase.
"What a pity!"
"As far as I know, there are no Yuan blue and white pieces of this size still in existence. If there were, it would definitely be an unparalleled treasure!"
Seeing this scene, many people showed expressions of regret and lament.
It was like seeing a beautiful woman with unparalleled beauty, but with a large purple birthmark on her face, which undoubtedly brought a huge flaw.
"However, Yuan blue and white, especially Yuan blue and white of this size, is also very rare. The Ma family has put in some effort," said a master with satisfaction.
Others nodded in agreement.
"I wonder what treasure the Qin family has prepared?"
Seeing this Yuan blue and white, and such a large piece of Yuan blue and white, the Qin family's expressions were not very good, because the porcelain they had prepared could not compare to this Yuan blue and white.
Chen Xuan naturally saw the clue and smiled slightly, "This is the porcelain prepared by the Qin family!"
As he spoke, Chen Xuan took out something wrapped in a thick layer of newspaper from his bag.
The Qin family was stunned, not knowing what Chen Xuan was doing. They had gone to Chen Xuan to borrow a painting, but they hadn't thought about borrowing porcelain.
Qin Ling frowned and looked at Qin Xuelan beside him. Qin Xuelan subconsciously shook her head, but then suddenly remembered Chen Xuan's Sky Blue Tripod Plate, which was also a treasure!
This Sky Blue Tripod Plate might not be comparable to a complete Yuan blue and white, but it should be better than a damaged Yuan blue and white!
Qin Xuelan nodded slightly, signaling Qin Ling that it was fine.
However, Qin Ling was very curious about what treasure Chen Xuan could produce.
Those so-called experts and masters were equally shocked. Chen Xuan, dressed ordinarily, had already astonished them by producing a painting by Tang Bohu. Could he produce another treasure?
Only Master Tian, who knew the truth, showed an expectant look, staring intently at the Sky Blue Tripod Plate wrapped in old newspaper.
That was a national treasure. Was it really okay to wrap it in old newspaper?
If it were anyone else, they would have almost put the Sky Blue Tripod Plate on display!
"Chen Xuan, let them broaden their horizons too!"
"Yes, Chen Xuan, show us your treasure!"
Wei Linlin and others cheered for Chen Xuan. wap.kanshuwu.net
"Kid, stop trying to be mysterious. What good stuff can be wrapped in old newspaper?" Ma Erdao sneered.
