Chapter 30 (4) A kiln cup

The decline of Jia's mansion was first caused by Sister Feng's case, and Jia's pardon was gradually reported after that.Sister Feng's incident was announced in advance. During the period when She and Xing were fine, they hated Sister Feng because of factors. When they saw her incident fail, they were not only not worried, but gloated and were very happy.Not to mention Aunt Zhao, she was secretly delighted: "God has eyes, see you have today!" Once the old lady is gone, she is even more fearless. People of her party are usually not allowed to openly display it. All of a sudden, there was a "place to use it", and the mansion was secretly stalking and intriguing, trying to make a living and come up with bad ideas.Sister Feng took advantage of their wishes and made a move of chess. The poisonous move was to harm Baoyu.Baoyu is the thorn in the eyes of this group of people, and he must be pulled out by taking advantage of the situation.

However, which one is the one that catches Baoyu?I really tried my best, but I couldn't think of a big topic to make a fuss about; I made up some crimes, but they were all empty, and I couldn't come up with much evidence. I guess this is not possible.At the time of careful planning and searching, I didn't want a strange event to fly out of the sky. There was a news about the inspection of Chengyao cups in the capital. What is Chengyao Cup?It is not the horn of the linden and the hair of the phoenix, but it is just a tea bowl made by the official kiln in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.But the teacup is extremely expensive.Counting from Ming Xian and Song Deng-Ji to Yuan Chenghua, to the first year of Qianlong (1465-1736), it was only 270 years. It is rare in the world. !The rich and powerful families in Beijing strive for the popularity of antiques, and some of them become kilns, which is rumored to be a strange story.Unexpectedly, in Leng Zixing's antique shop, he got a treasure, sold it to a royal family, and made a fortune.Because the Rongfu case happened, and Leng Zixing was the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, he was naturally implicated in the antique case.After investigation, many items were stolen and sold by Rongfu.Not to mention, the biggest event was a small bell with a five-color lacquered gold cover in a kiln, which was revealed on the account, which caused a sensation in the government and the public!

When the government heard that not only a prince was involved in this matter, but also there were rumors in the palace, they hurriedly traced the ins and outs of the matter and sent Leng Zixing to interrogate him. It turned out that Leng Zixing had no ghosts in this matter. He confessed that the Chengyao cup was bought by the shop from the urban and rural areas.After tracing and tracing, I found out that the seller was Wang Gouer, the son-in-law of Grandma Liu. "Wang Gouer, you are a poor man, where did you get this cup?!" The dog confessed the whole story, and it was given to my grandma by the elder brother in the Rongguo Mansion.

This is amazing! Baoyu is a straightforward and compassionate person, he is willing to take the blame for other people's faults, and only wants to save others, regardless of his own interests.When he asked about this cup, he knew that it was also related to it, so he said it was mine and gave it to Grandma Liu, which was true.But no one believed it, because although his family was rich in copper and porcelain display utensils, he would not give this rare treasure to a poor woman.There must be a reason for it-the origin of this thing must be strictly pursued. You know, don't talk about Baoyu's time (the early years of Qianlong), in the Ming Dynasty, at the time of Shenzong, the price of a pair of kiln cups was as high as 100,000 yuan!What's more, this set of covered bowls has a unique style, colorful and beautiful (different from the turbid and heavy colors of Xuan Kiln), and also has lacquer gold and true colors. The paintings are of "Three Heroes in the Wind and Dust" (Hong Fu, Qiu Ran, Li Jing), all of which are from the Ming Palace. Finely drawn by the masters of the painting garden, the beauty is vivid, and the eyebrows are ready to move!It is ten times higher than the small wine cups that have been seen in the kiln!No wonder the prince saw that Leng Zixing brought it into the mansion for sale, so he immediately offered ten thousand taels of silver and kept it.This matter spread throughout the capital within a day or two.

Ask Baoyu: how can you give away such things as a child?Where does it come from?Everyone in your family has never had such a thing! Baoyu had no choice but to say that it belonged to a monk in the nun's nun in the garden at home. How can monks have such treasures?It aroused great suspicion. All of a sudden, Miaoyu was picked out—it turned out to be the daughter of a criminal official and a criminal family. She took refuge in an empty door and was sheltered by the Rong Mansion.When Aunt Zhao joined the party, she falsely accused Baoyu and Miaoyu of being "dirty".
