The porcelain statue that Cui Geng took out was not ordinary, beautiful, unique, and Wu Liangju had no place to buy it with any amount of money.

According to the normal development of history, only more than 300 years later, this type of porcelain will appear in the world and be called Dehua porcelain.

Dehua porcelain is produced in Dehua County, Fujian.

The clay here is different from other places, and the porcelain fired not only presents an obsessive white, but also has a particle-like glitter, which is pure and elegant, like fat and jade, giving people the most beautiful enjoyment.

How beautiful is it?

Eight hundred years later, Dehua porcelain was exported to Europe and was favored by European aristocrats, known as "Chinese white", and the price was higher than gold.

Note that 800 years later, it was already in the Ming Dynasty, although the imperial court had a ban on the sea, but the smuggling of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River was endless, and there were a lot of Dehua porcelain exported to the Ming Dynasty, and each ship could be loaded with thousands of pieces.

Despite this, good things are good things, although the demand is increasing, but the supply exceeds demand, and the price is just high and cannot be lowered.

So much so that when the European nobles invited guests, a servant had to be arranged behind each guest, nominally to pour wine and cloth dishes for the guests, but in fact to prevent the guests from taking the precious "Chinese white" away.

In addition to the characteristics of "white and beautiful", another characteristic of Dehua clay is "hard".

In other places, the clay is softer, and the fired porcelain is easily deformed, and is only suitable for firing utensils, not statues. The Dehua clay is very plastic, not only suitable for firing statues, but also because of its special color, especially suitable for firing Buddha statues!

The combination of the two, the statue of Guanyin fired in Dehua clay, far beyond its peers, appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and is undoubtedly a rare treasure.

Cui Geng tried his best to let Cao Yuechan delay Wu Liangju and others for a full month, that is, to go to Dehua County and bring some of the local clay back to Quanzhou for firing.

Porcelain is a bulk commodity of Quanzhou's foreign trade, there are more than a dozen ready-made porcelain kilns of the Lin family, after a period of exploration, finally let Dehua porcelain cash out three hundred years in the world!

Wu Liangju's family is wealthy, and the value of this porcelain can be seen at a glance.

Of course, the reason why he knelt down and begged Cui Geng was not mainly because of this, but the story told by Cui Geng, and the eight vermilion seal characters - the white horse sends the Buddha, and the heroine is the world.

These eight words are so appropriate, they are simply auspicious!

At this time, Cui Geng's voice sounded slowly, and said, "Don't be busy, don't be busy, Wu Gongzi, you stand up first, let's talk slowly." You understand the value of this statue, right? ”

"Hmmm! Well! Well! Wu Liangju was not arrogant at this time, like a good grandson, and nodded his head like a chicken crushing rice.

"Okay, Wu Gongzi really knows the goods!" Cui Geng gave a thumbs up and said, "Sit down." ”

"Okay." As soon as he sat down, Wu Liangju couldn't wait to ask: "Cui Changshi, what about this porcelain statue......

Cui Geng took a sip of tea soup slowly, then cleared his throat and said, "This porcelain statue, it's an auspicious one." If the official sends it to Chang'an to present it to the imperial court, this additional official will be just around the corner. Wu Gongzi, hehe...... Do you think this is something that can be exchanged for just a few dollars? ”

In fact, now that Empress Wu has newly ascended the throne, the meaning behind this porcelain statue is extremely important to both Cui Geng and Wu Liangju. Therefore, Wu Liangju can be respectful and can still swallow his anger in the face of Cui Geng.

You must know that Wu Zetian and Ji Sichen occupy the country of her husband and son as the emperor, no matter who evaluates her, she has to say that her name is not right.

How do you justify something that is unreasonable? I can only think of a way from the will of God - this emperor is not the old lady who has to be, God asked me to be it. If you are not convinced, go and reason with God!

Therefore, the thing that Wu Zetian is most happy to see is that people offer all kinds of auspicious gifts to prove that his rule is reasonable and legitimate.

For example, a petty official named Tang Tongtai found a white feldspar and painted it with purple stone powder and medicine: Our Lady Linshui, Yongchang Emperor. Then, it was claimed that the stone was dug out of Luoshui and dedicated to Wu Zetian.

The result? Wu Zetian immediately issued an order, Tang Tongtai dedicated the stone to meritorious service, and was named the captain of Guoyi in Yongchang County.

Guo Ke had such a big background and took so much effort to become the captain of Zhaowu in Zhengliupin. Tang Tongtai is a stone sacrifice, and he is a five-grade official, how can this be reasonable?

As a result, Datang set off a wind of offering auspiciousness.

The most exaggerated thing is a petty official named Zhu Qianji, who has no ability, no background, no technology, and can't even make a fake, a fighter among the dick officials, what if he wants to take a shortcut? He had an idea, and went directly to the table, saying that he had a dream last night, dreaming that Wu Zetian's white hair turned black and new teeth grew.

Dreaming is such a thing as unfounded, and it's not just what he says.

However, it was such an unreliable "auspicious rui", Wu Zetian was still very happy to hear it, the holy decree was issued, and Zhu Qianyi was promoted to the rank of the sixth rank of the capital.

Since then, the atmosphere of the imperial court's dedication to auspiciousness has reached the level of madness, and counterfeiting has become a trend.

But who made Wu Zetian just a good mouthful, it doesn't matter if it's fake, it's a big deal if you don't give a reward, and you will never be punished.

There is also a person named Hu Yanqing, who offered a turtle and wrote five big characters on the turtle's belly in red lacquer, "Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven". As a result, someone scraped it with a knife and scraped off the red paint.

So, it was faked on the spot!

If you want to do other things to fake, this is forcing a crime of bullying, and you definitely don't have to run.

Even the fraud is so careless, but when it comes to Wu Zetian, he just commented: "This is not disgusting, don't ask." ”

The conclusive evidence of the crime of deceiving the king is all right! It's okay! It's okay!

If you become a high~ the official has to sit, and if you don't do it, you can leave a good impression in front of the emperor, who is willing not to do this kind of cheap thing, who is willing not to do it?

Of course, this dedication to auspiciousness also has to pay attention to creativity, you can't say what others give, you also don't take the IQ of the world seriously.

A handful, and they all look about the same, it is not auspicious, but a big radish in the ground.

For example, someone copied Tang Tongtai's idea, and also found a stone and wrote the word "Wuxing" to dedicate it to Wu Zetian, but he was rejected, and he didn't get any benefits.

Quanzhou Tiangao Emperor is far away, and when Wu Liangju got the news, all the ideas that could be thought of were used by people, and they could only cry out in vain.

Unexpectedly, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

Today, Cui Geng actually sent a great auspicious rui to him.

Such a beautiful porcelain, you say it's not auspicious, you burn one for me? Can you burn it out?

Besides, do you dare to burn it?

If you don't want to prove that Xiangrui is fake, what kind of heart do you have? Is it to prove that the current emperor is not favored by heaven?

You don't admit it? Okay, go and explain to Zhou Xinglai Junchen Suo Yuanli and them.

What satisfies Wu Liangma the most is the eight words: the white horse sends the Buddha, and the heroine is the world.

Good!

That's just a great way to say it!

Buddha, of course, refers to Wu Zetian, a monk presented the "Great Cloud Sutra", saying that Wu Zetian is the reincarnation of the pure light goddess before the Buddha drove, because of the good fortune of the previous life, this life should be the son of heaven in the Middle Earth.

This matter was admitted by Wu Zetian, and a temple called Dayun Temple was specially built for this purpose.

As for the white horse, do you still need to ask? Of course, it's his martial artist.

Wu Liangju secretly thought in his heart, with this auspicious rui, my aunt and grandmother will definitely let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. When the time comes, I will be the emperor's nephew.

With my ability, it is not impossible to be favored by my aunt and grandmother, and it is not impossible to become the emperor's grandson. After a hundred years of my aunt and grandmother, maybe I can still be the son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty!

Beautiful, beautiful drops!

Such a big benefit is in front of him, not to mention abandoning his previous suspicions with Cui Geng, just let him call Uncle Cui, and Wu Liangju pinched his nose and recognized it!

Okay, that's it, whether it will be successful or not!

Wu Liangju made up his mind, no matter how much he was wronged, even if he was bankrupt, he had to take this statue down!

As for Cui Geng? And let him be proud for a while, as long as I have the porcelain statue in my hand and smoothly recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I don't want him to be round, let him be round, and let him be flat if you want him to be flat? As for Cao Yuechan, she can't escape from the palm of her son!

Thinking of this, Wu Liangju said respectfully: "Cui Changshi, don't hang my appetite." How much silver do you want, you make a price, if I pay back half a penny, I will be a turtle bastard! ”

Cui Geng shook his head slightly, and said confidently: "This official doesn't want money, as long as you promise me two conditions, I will give this white porcelain statue to Wu Gongzi." ”

"On what terms?" Wu Liangju's eyes rolled, and fell on He Xu, who was standing next to him, and said, "I understand, you have a grudge against He Xu!" I'll slaughter him for you and be angry for Cui Changshi! ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Liangju drew his sword in his hand and stabbed at He Xu.

He Xu hurriedly dodged left and right, and scolded secretly in his heart, Wu Liangju, you don't recognize people when you turn your face on a dog's day!

What the hell is this? I'm really blind, how could I cast under such a merciless beast?

But scolding in his heart, He Xu really didn't dare to scold. Not only that, but he didn't even dare to say a hard word, so he could only keep begging for mercy.

"Childe spares his life!"

He Xu walked around the hall of Ju Fenglong, even if Wu Liangju's sword had already made a few big cuts on him, he didn't dare to run out of Ju Fenglong.

He understands that Cui Erlang now has the support of the two sea merchants, Feng Pu and Zhang Lin, and is in the limelight. If he loses the protection of Wu Liangju again, it is worse than death.

So, I can only stiffen up today and see if there is a turnaround.

Although Cui Geng hoped that Wu Liangju would kill He Xu, he didn't want this to happen in Jufenglong. Otherwise, if the court investigates it, he Cui Erlang will not be able to escape the involvement.

Therefore, seeing that He Xu was really worried about his life, he hurriedly spoke: "Wu Gongzi, stop, this official's request has nothing to do with He County Lieutenant." ”

Wu Liangju stopped out of breath at this time, waved his sword and pointed at He Xu, who was hiding miserably in the corner and licking his wounds, and shouted: "Look, Master Cui Changshi has a lot, and he is not as knowledgeable as you." What are you doing stupidly? Thank you Cui Changshi for not killing! ”

"I... I apologize to him? He Xu's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

Wu Liangju, are you crazy?

Okay, I'll bear with it!

A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!

While trying to build his heart, He Xu knelt down aggrievedly and said: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he offended Cui Changshi, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

The guys who gathered Fenglong looked at the scene in front of them, and really looked at each other, is this aggrieved Lord He who is like a little daughter-in-law in front of him still the county lieutenant He who is calling for wind and rain at the boundary of Wurong County?

However, Cui Geng accepted it calmly, crossed Erlang's legs, waved his hand casually, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, get up!" ”

"Xie Cui Changshi!"

He Xu's face was red as if it was dripping blood, and he wanted to get into it in an orderly way. However, the situation is stronger than people, and now, I have to stand aside and continue to listen to Cui Erlang continue to pretend.

In the end, Cui Gengti's two conditions greatly surprised Wu Liangju and He Xu.

It's not too hard, it's too easy!

First, Wu Liangju must swear to the sky that he will never trouble Cui Geng and his family again in this life and this life, otherwise he will die under the heart of ten thousand arrows.

If Wu Liangju believed in the existence of gods, he would not do anything bad, and immediately swore without hesitation.

Second, although Cui Geng didn't want Wu Liangju's money, the 100,000 fake money tickets must be destroyed immediately. In addition, all the money of Wu Liangju must also be stored in Jufenglong Qianzhuang. If someone takes a fake money ticket to redeem it again, they will use these Wu Liangju's family property to pay for it.

There are Zhang Lin's two local snakes, and Wu Liangju's family can't hide how much money they have. However, at this time, in Wu Liangju's mind, even if he gave all this money to Cui Gengducheng, where could he compare to getting this porcelain statue in his hands? What's more, family assets are only temporarily there, and Jufenglong? Still busy agreeing.

So, the two sides agreed that within ten days, Wu Liangju would deposit all the money in Jufenglong, and then Cui Genghui would take the initiative to send the porcelain statue to Wu Liangju's mansion.

After leaving Jufenglong, Wu Liangju was excited, fantasizing about the happy life after the porcelain statue entered Chang'an, and then said to He Xule beside him in a somewhat mocking tone: "Lord He, do you say that this Cui Erlang is short-sighted like a frog?" Does he know that this porcelain statue is a treasure that will never be changed! Tsk, I don't want a penny from my son. Haha, ten days later, this porcelain statue will be my son's, and when the time comes, ...... Hahaha......"

Wu Liangju seemed to be so excited that he couldn't speak.

Although He Xu was greatly wronged, he still had to be careful at this time, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Cui Erlang is also afraid of your family background as a martial artist, right?" This is called leaving a line of people and seeing each other in the future. ”

"Hehe, see you in the future? I see his grandmother! What a beautiful thing he thought! Wu Liangju spat on the ground fiercely, and said with compassion: "As long as the white porcelain statue is in hand, my son will let his Cui Erlang's family be ruined!" ”

Then, where did Wu Liangju think of it, at this time, in the middle of gathering Fenglong, Cui Geng still easily crossed Erlang's legs, picked up the tea bowl calmly, took a sip of salty tea soup into his throat, and muttered leisurely: "The surname is Wu, although your grandfather Cui doesn't want your money this time, but... Hum... Damn! ”
