Yohen Tenmoku

Regarding Nan Ye's question, the system could only say helplessly:

【My lord, are you perhaps forgetful due to your busy schedule?

You asked me to retrieve the lost antiques.

Do you think this is something that can be done with just a few hundred million?

Let's take the yohen tenmoku tea bowl as an example.

Currently, there are only 3 and a half pieces left in the world. Great Xia has half a piece, and Little Japan has three pieces in total.

Two pieces are considered national treasures by Little Japan and are very difficult to retrieve.

Another piece is in the hands of an Inaba Family, and they are asking for several hundred million.

Do you think the emotional value you had before is enough?】

Nan Ye, who was proficient in appraising treasures, quickly remembered what the yohen tenmoku tea bowl was.

The Tenmoku tea bowl originated from a type of black-glazed tea bowl during the southern song dynasty of Great Xia, belonging to a type of Jian ware from the Song Dynasty.

That era produced many literati and refined scholars.

Whenever literati and refined scholars gathered in their leisure time, their greatest pleasure was tea-fighting.

For example, the female lyricist Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng would engage in tea-fighting and chatting when they had nothing to do, which was quite interesting.

And when the Tenmoku tea bowl was first fired, it was used for tea-fighting.

At that time, there were many temples in Mount Tianmu in Lin'an, and many Little Japan monks came here to practice.

When the monks returned to their country, they brought back the tea ceremonies, rituals, and utensils they had learned in the temples.

Because the tea bowls they brought back were from the temples in Mount Tianmu, this type of tea bowl was collectively called "Yohen Tenmoku."

They emit a blue brilliance, and under different light angles, their halo colors change unpredictably, making them incredibly beautiful.

Because during the firing process, there are various potential sudden factors involved that cannot be controlled by humans.

Therefore, strictly speaking, each piece is unique and basically impossible to replicate.

The three complete ones are housed separately in the Seikado Bunko Art Museum, the Fujita Museum of Art, and the Ryuko-in Temple of Daitoku-ji, all of which are regarded as "sacred objects" by Little Japan and are rarely exhibited to the public.

And the Inaba Family mentioned by the system should be this "Inaba Yohen Tenmoku."

It also has a clear line of transmission:

Tokugawa Shogunate Family → Inaba Family of Yodo Domain → Ono Tetsuro → Iwasaki Family → Seikado Bunko Collection.

Don't think it's just a small bowl; it contains a mysterious universe within, adorned with countless stars.

The flares on the inner wall will display a brilliant and mysterious light, with colors changing unpredictably, as if the sea of stars is right before your eyes.

However, in this world, this tea bowl is still in the hands of the Inaba Family and has not been acquired by a Little Japan museum, so there is a chance to get it back.

The remaining issue is the price!

According to what was said in his previous life, one tea bowl is worth 6 billion.

Of course, saying is one thing, but the real selling price would definitely not be this.

Since they are designated as national treasures, how could they be sold?

Even if you set the price at 10 billion, no one would say anything.

However, this type of tea bowl is highly valued by Little Japan.

There was once a Little Japan variety show that discovered a yohen tenmoku tea bowl and appraised its value at 25 million Japanese Yen.

As a result, a Great Xia Country auntie revealed its origin in one sentence: "I made it, sold it for 80 yuan, and it actually appeared on TV!"

At that time, it really made a lot of people laugh.

Some Netizens also joked: Auntie, make more and sell them to Little Japan to empty them out!

...

After clarifying the information, Nan Ye asked again, "So, Tong Zi, how much did the Inaba Family ask for?"

【6 hundred million! So, do you want to exchange for it or not?】

6 hundred million!?

For a yohen tenmoku tea bowl, it's not a lot, but it's definitely not a small amount either.

"Exchange for it, definitely exchange for it, no need to even consider.

Aren't 6 hundred million all converted from emotional value?

Now I can get 6 hundred million emotional value just by singing a song, what's there to fear!

How about this, Tong Zi, I'll donate 7 billion emotional value first, you figure it out!

Oh, and there are also musical scores, remember to retrieve the musical scores too!"

Every time North Dust asked him where he saw the musical scores and from which scores he arranged the music, Nan Ye would get a headache.

Without the actual object, it's very difficult to explain this thing clearly.

So it's better to let Tong Zi quickly get a few books back, so he can deal with North Dust.

【Okay, okay, I'm going to be busy, gotta go, gotta go!】

After the system got busy with its own matters, Nan Ye followed everyone to a large hotel.

Great Xia won the championship, how could they not celebrate?

After three rounds of drinks, Dai Tianxiong stood up, "Everyone, everyone, I'm happy today and can't help but say a few words.

These past 20-plus years have been too difficult.

Great Xia has experienced many upheavals, and only in the past few decades has the economy recovered and started to focus on music.

Therefore, the results in the previous few exchange sessions were not ideal.

Especially in the first session, we didn't even get into the first round.

At that time, I saw everyone with their heads hanging low, including myself.

In these 20 years, we have cried, made a fuss, been doubted, but we have never given up.

Today, at this exchange session, we finally won the championship!

This not only proves the musical strength of my Great Xia but also gives us a satisfactory explanation.

This first glass is to Great Xia, and to ourselves!"

Everyone raised their glasses and followed suit.

"This second glass is to everyone present; this is definitely the result of everyone's joint efforts!

Of course, after returning, the bonus given by the country will definitely not be small..."

"This third glass, I want to toast someone, a junior, you've all guessed it, right? It's Nan Ye!

That's right, without the music he brought out, it would be very difficult to say whether we could win first place this time."

Nan Ye quickly stood up with his wine glass, just as Singer Luo Ning said, there is no custom of elders toasting juniors.

"Elder Dai, you're exaggerating. In fact, I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. Without the wisdom of Great Xia's ancients and the creations of Great Xia's talented people, I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today."

What he said, was he actually referring to the music masters from his previous life?

After all, he was just a pure and simple music transporter.

After sitting down, he also silently thanked in his heart: I also have to thank Tong Zi, without you, I might have been in the underworld long ago!

【You still know to thank me?

Since you're thanking me, I'll give you a piece of information.

Today there is a private auction in Vienna, and there are Great Xia ancient musical scores there. You decide whether to go or not.

If you go, I just happened to get an invitation letter!】

Auction?

Ancient musical scores?

It seems like I can't not go.

"Tong Zi, get another ticket, I'll take someone?"

【I'll do my best, I'll do my best!】

...

Dai Tianxiong said one last thing:

"Everyone can eat and drink freely today, and you can have a couple of small drinks.

Oh, and the young people need to control yourselves, you still have a performance tomorrow!

Especially Nan Ye and North Dust, you two can't drink anymore, you are the main characters tomorrow!"
