Chapter 1258 What a Sin! 2
Zhou Manqing's light words almost scared the assistant and the driver out of their wits!
The two of them felt that the small teacup in their hands suddenly felt like a thousand pounds! They almost couldn't hold it steady! ! This frightened them all sweating!
Like a monkey, he put the small teacup in his hand on the tea table next to him. His terrified look almost made Zhou Manqing think that he had said something life-threatening.
Zhou Manqing: "..." This cup is really not expensive! Her daughter spent more than a thousand euros to buy it!
Zhou Manqing, who never paid much attention to the antique world, only knew that the cups in front of her were antiques, bought by her daughter and given to her. The current market price seems not cheap, but in Zhou Manqing's heart, this is just a gift from her daughter. This time, Zhou Manqing took out the cups to pour tea for the guests, and she wanted to show off to others by showing off her daughter's filial piety to her.
She had never expected that these people would look like this...
The assistant looked at the small teacup with a red lotus and a duckling next to it on the tea table with horror, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat! !
Although ordinary people like them could not identify the authenticity of cultural relics, they had heard of the name of Kangxi 12 Flower God Cups!
The full name of Kangxi 12 Flower God Cups is Qing Kangxi Blue and White Five-Color 12 Flower Pattern Cups, which is a famous product among the official kiln porcelains during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty. Even the emperor had praised it and had to bring it with him on several southern tours. It was recorded in history books!
In ancient China, there was a folk saying that the twelfth day of the second lunar month was the birthday of all flowers, also known as the Flower Festival, or the Flower God Festival. And these 12 Flower God Cups are porcelains painted based on the traditional legend of the Flower God Festival, selecting flowers from among the hundreds of flowers that represent the twelve months of the lunar calendar in the minds of the people of Huaguo. It's just that because the entire Chinese country is vast, the climate temperature difference between the north and the south is also very large, and many flowers are not common in the north and the south, so the 12 flower god cups handed down in history have also changed due to regional differences.
Because these 12 flower god cups were already very famous at the time, there were individual imitations in later generations.
The assistant felt that although he didn't know what imitations or genuine official kilns were. But the set of flower god cups in their hands, even if they were just ordinary later imitations with a price of hundreds of thousands, was enough to suppress him, a novice who had just worked for a few years!
Moreover!
He just drank a sip of tea from the lotus cup!
That's an antique! ! !
Trembling, he took a look at the other seven unused flower god cups with different pictures on the tea tray, and the assistant shook even more!
Whether it was Wang Daming, the assistant or the driver, none of the three of them suspected that the set of 12 flower god cups in front of them were fakes. After all, how could someone with Zhou Manqing's status use fakes to entertain people? That would be a shameful thing if it was discovered!
So this set of cups must be real!
This sentence was almost imprinted in the minds of the three people, and the three people became even more uneasy. They had heard people say that some people used antique tea cups to drink tea and antique rice bowls to eat noodles... But, but... Those were just what they heard! If others said it, the three people might be envious, but when this happened to them, Wang Daming and others felt that they were deeply sinful!
What a sin! Such precious cultural relics were actually placed here to make tea! It was simply a waste of natural resources!
The most important thing is that it is so expensive, so expensive, so expensive, so expensive!
If it is broken, they can't afford to pay for it!!!
