When searching for the last treasure spot, He Qing's eyes lit up, and it was clear that he had discovered something great.
However, Mr. Su and Suning saw nothing.
"Xiao He, this Nine Dragons jade cup is almost the same as the previous three. Now we have found all the treasure spots. The four jade cups you mentioned are all here, but none of them seem to be authentic." Mr. Su frowned and said,
He was obviously disappointed. He originally thought that with the treasure map in his hand, he would be able to find the real Kowloon jade cup. Unexpectedly, after the treasure was excavated, all he found were a few jade cups that were exactly the same as the one he had in his hand.
Are they all fakes?
He Qing smiled slightly and said cheerfully: "Grandpa Su, it seems that these five jade cups are all genuine. It looks like this visually, because the imitations among them are also high imitations, but one of them is genuine and is the one we want.
The real Kowloon jade cup!”
"Is there one thing that's genuine?!" Hearing what He Qing said, Mr. Su's brows instantly widened, and a smile spread across his face.
"Yes!" He Qing nodded vigorously and said solemnly, "One of them is genuine, and the other four are imitations."
"Then which one is the real thing? Is it the jade cup we finally found?" Mr. Su asked hurriedly.
"Yes, that's it." He Qing replied.
"I can't see how it is any different from other jade cups." Mr. Su said doubtfully.
He Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "At first glance, you really can't see anything special about it. The only reason to blame is that the imitations are made in a subtle way. They are all too beautiful."
Although he is similar to Mr. Su and others, he has not done much research on the so-called "Nine Dragon Jade Cups". He can't tell the difference between them just with the naked eye, but he has an ability that Mr. Su and other mortals do not have.
Yes, that is the perception ability of the eyes.
Although the remaining four jade cups are also antiques, they all have a faint "treasure light" on them, but the aura is very shallow. In this case, He Qing knew at a glance that the items were useless and were unlikely to be the legendary national treasure "Kowloon Jade Cup"
”.
But when he found the fourth treasure spot, He Qing immediately sensed it. What was about to appear was an important treasure. Because the surrounding treasures were suddenly glowing and full of spiritual energy.
After capturing this information, coupled with the relevant information he had learned before, it was not difficult to determine that the jade cup finally found was the Kowloon jade cup, and it was guaranteed to be fake.
"Listen to what you said, that's right." Mr. Su said happily, "Xiao He, you have such a good sense, if you say yes, I believe you."
He Qing said modestly: "Of course, this is just my judgment. If you have any questions, you can take this jade cup to more authoritative experts and ask them to identify it."
Mr. Su shook his head hurriedly and said: "No need. You are the most authoritative. Since I asked you, what's the point of looking for them? Xiaohe, now that the baby is found, let's go back first and talk about it when we get home."
"Yeah, okay." He Qing agreed.
Later, they took the few jade cups they found back to the Su family villa. After returning, they first took out the Kowloon jade cup that He Qing recognized as genuine, placed it on the table and examined it in detail.
But Mr. Su and Suning couldn't see anything interesting when they picked up high-power magnifying glasses. At this time, He Qing had quietly used his eyesight to visually inspect the ins and outs of the jade cup. It was verified that that
The thing is indeed from the Qing Dynasty and was made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. It was a treasure that Emperor Kangxi couldn't put down. I don't know how many times he drank from that wine glass.
"Xiao He, what's so magical about this jade cup? Could it be that it's just like other fakes? It's nothing special, just a jade article?" Mr. Su asked doubtfully.
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "It's not that simple."
"How do you say it? What's the difference?" Mr. Su asked repeatedly, and he was suddenly full of curiosity.
He Qing did not answer but asked: "Grandpa Su, do you have any wine at home?"
"Wine?" Mr. Su couldn't help but froze for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Of course. Although I'm not a fan of this, I still drink it sometimes. Xiaohe, what kind of wine do you want? I have more than 80 wines in my family.
French red wine and very old Maotai liquor. If you ask for other wines, I will find them for you."
He Qing shook his head and said: "You don't need a good wine, as long as this wine is relatively clear."
"That's no problem. When do you want it?" Mr. Su asked.
He Qing said: "Bring it now, I can use it."
"Yeah, okay." Mr. Su agreed happily, and then he called Suning and asked her to go to the basement to get the wine He Qing needed.
Suning ran away in response. It didn't take long for her to get a bottle of old wine. The wine met He Qing's requirements. The wine was very clear and refreshing.
"Xiao He, is this kind of wine okay?" Mr. Su asked.
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, of course. It's very good. I want this kind of wine. The 'jade wine' mentioned in ancient books is nothing more than that, right?"
"That's good." Mr. Su said happily, "Xiao He, what do you want me to do with the wine?"
At this moment, he and Suning were full of doubts, not knowing what He Qing meant. Of course, they knew that He Qing was by no means an alcoholic, but had other ideas.
He Qing replied seriously: "You will know later."
His words were somewhat mysterious, and Mr. Su and Suning became more and more curious. At the moment, they didn't ask any more questions, but just waited and waited.
He Qing said: "Let's pour the wine into the wine glass."
"Use this wine glass to hold wine?" Mr. Su asked in surprise.
"Yes, use it to hold wine." He Qing replied, "In addition to this jade cup, also put one cup in each of the other jade cups. After they are all filled, see if there is any change."
Mr. Su seemed to have heard something, and said with a sudden look: "Xiao He, I understand, you mean that the Kowloon Jade Cup is a wine cup, a very practical cup, and it will have strange reactions when it is filled with wine? And generally, it is a wine cup.
The jade cup won’t change like this, right?”
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, I think so. Although I haven't verified this yet, it doesn't hurt to try."
"Well, it doesn't matter, just a little wine. If you can use this method to identify the authentic Kowloon jade cup, it will be very worthwhile!" Mr. Su nodded excitedly.
Hearing He Qing's analysis, Suning, who was standing silently by the side, couldn't help but feel excited. She was doubtful about this because she couldn't believe it was so wonderful.
The "Jiulong Jade Cup" only exists in legends. There is still research to verify whether this kind of thing exists. Even if it does exist, it is not so magical. It is just a jade cup. What can happen after filling it with wine?
reaction, maybe there is some kind of substance in the real Kowloon jade cup that can produce some kind of chemical reaction with the wine, but can the wine still be drunk in this case?
After finishing speaking, He Qing now filled the other four ordinary jade cups with wine. After the wine was poured in, there was no change at all, just like ordinary wine glasses.
"There's no movement." Suning said, "That cup should be the same, right?"
"It's different. Just look at it." He Qing shook his head solemnly and said, "Since it is a Nine-Dragon Jade Cup and is cherished by Emperor Kangxi, it must have something magical about it."
As he spoke, he poured the remaining wine into the last jade cup. During this process, Mr. Su and the two watched intently, neither of them blinked, as if they were afraid of missing any detail.
After the fragrant and pure wine was poured into the glass, as expected, something magical happened. It was clearly visible that the wine glass gradually lit up and was enveloped in a ball of white light.
Immediately, something even more amazing happened. Several "white dragons" appeared on the lit wine glasses. Those white dragons opened their teeth and danced their claws, leaping and leaping, lifelike.
"There...is a dragon on it! It's so amazing!" Upon seeing this, Mr. Su's eyes widened with surprise on his face.
Suning also stared at the most magical scene on the wine glass with wide eyes. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She just stared at it with wide eyes.
"Yes, there is a swimming dragon appearing." He Qing nodded and said, "This is the mystery of the 'Nine Dragon Jade Cup'. Ordinary jade cups will not have such a wonderful reaction after being filled with wine, but the 'Nine Dragon Jade Cup'
It’s different, it’s so magical.”
"How on earth is this done?!" Mr. Su said in surprise, "We obviously didn't see the dragon up there."
He Qing said: "This is the magical place of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup! The dragon patterns carved on it are difficult to see with the naked eye, or what you see are just some shapeless and strange carvings. Now you can see it, right? This cup has a total of
Eight jade dragons, each with four corners
Two, plus the one on the handle, the total is exactly Kowloon. This is the origin of the "Kowloon Jade Cup". Without the wine, you can't see anything, but once you pour the clear wine, the cup comes alive.
, a dragon appeared on it, as if a dragon was swimming in the wine!”
"Yes, it's incredible!" Mr. Su said excitedly, "I have never seen such a wonderful jade article. The 'Nine Dragon Jade Cup' is really well-deserved. No wonder Emperor Kangxi liked this cup so much and kept it after his death.
It was used as a burial object."
"Grandpa Su, congratulations. You have got a big treasure. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a national treasure!" He Qing praised.
Mr. Su shook his head hurriedly and said: "I didn't get it. It's all up to you to find this genuine jade cup. If you hadn't discovered this secret, then I wouldn't have the ability to do it even if I lived another life. I wouldn't even think of going up there!"
So thank you so much!”
He suddenly held He Qing's hand tightly, grateful.
(Thank you to two old friends Huan Dian, Xu Nu and Du You Wanban for their support in giving rewards again.)
