The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

On the afternoon of the 4th day after returning to New York, Nicole called to the villa. Zhang Nan, who received the call in the living room, even yelled "Ahhhhhhh" and waved his arms a few times after hanging up the phone!

The bodyguards in the manor rushed to the living room as soon as they heard the boss's strange voice: Paul held guns in their hands, and Jin Wenbo and Lin Ming, who were helping in the kitchen, rushed in directly with a kitchen knife. Bayi?? Chinese=≠=≤

Seeing nothing, "Boss?"

Zhang Nan was very excited, "It's okay, it's okay! It's just that one of you was too excited to hear the good news."

Seeing the posture of the bodyguards is a bit embarrassing, this will even Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong ran in-today is a good weather, the two were fishing just now, and they didn't hear Zhang Nan's strange cry.

However, from the corner of Guan Xingquan's eyes, he noticed that the bodyguard who was on the yard had pulled out his gun, and the two rushed over immediately, just in time to hear Zhang Nan tell everyone that it was okay.

It's okay, the bodyguards dispersed in a false alarm, but Xiang Weirong didn't leave.

"A-Nan, what happened?"

Upon hearing the question from her brother-in-law, Zhang Nan said: "The carbon 14 has been measured, and the year 4oo is plus or minus 20 years!"

Xiang Weirong frowned, "I remember Li Shimin only became emperor for 60 years, right?"

Zhang Nan nodded repeatedly, "Li Shimin, his father Li Yuan, only became emperor in 618. It was the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 4oo AD!"

...

The scroll of "The Scroll of Female History Proverbs" was a silk copy, and it was poorly preserved. When it was re-stored in New York a few days ago, a piece of silk about the size of a sesame seed fell from the corner of the picture.

Time is too long.

Zhang Nan made a decision to "destroy cultural relics": put the tiny bit of silk that fell into a small airtight bag, and asked his laboratory to do a carbon 14-year determination.

For more than two hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, I wanted to know which period of the facsimile was: when people’s curiosity came together, they couldn’t stop anything, and the highest expedited fee was directly charged, and the conclusion came out.

"Brother-in-law, the painting was not from the Tang Dynasty at all, it was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Except for the unearthed, this may be the earliest preserved silk painting. Moreover, brother-in-law and Guan, both may be Gu Kaizhi's original works!"

In the past few days, Xiang Weirong and the others have also learned a lot about "Yongle Dadian" and "Pictures of Female History Proverbs" from Zhang Nan's mouth, and they also have a little understanding of Gu Kaizhi-Gu Kaizhi's works have not been authentic so far. The "Nv Shi Zhen Tu", "Luo Shen Fu Tu", and "Lie Nu Ren Zhi Tu" that have been handed down to the world are all Tang and Song dynasties!

Gu Kaizhi lived in the period from 345 to 406 years. He was a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was good at poetry and calligraphy, especially painting!

Moreover, he once made Vimalakirti murals at Jiankang Waco Temple, which is known to the world. He also wrote famous paintings such as "Tengliu Painting Praise of Wei and Jin Dynasty", "On Painting" and "Painting Yuntai Mountain", which have an impact on later generations. Profound.

He is definitely a figure of Taishan Beidou in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting: the age is right, if it is his authentic work, this is the unique orphan in the world at present!

"But there is no signature on the painting, it is impossible to be sure."

Zhang Nan listened to her brother-in-law's words and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as the age is determined, it doesn't matter whether it is the authentic work of Gu Kaizhi, it can be passed down from generation to generation, miracle! A real miracle!"

For nearly 16 centuries, a small silk painting has been preserved. It is really difficult for Zhang Nan to describe how he feels.

When he was a tomb thief, he had “raised” many Yue kiln celadon from the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and many porcelains had been “bitten” into pits and pits over thousands of years.

And this is a silky protein texture!

"It's a wonderful thing, brother-in-law.

After the scroll arrived in Europe, let’s not talk about it. Even if it was preserved in China, I guess that person would never know that this thing was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, otherwise the scroll would not be preserved so badly. "

It's not a problem for nearly a hundred years, but it has not been repaired for hundreds of years.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan laughed as he talked, "Luck, fortunately there was no charcoal 14 test in ancient times, otherwise this thing will definitely be in the hands of the emperor. Then even if it is robbed by the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations, this will be there. A few dog-day museums.

I think this painting was regarded as a remnant after the Song Dynasty, and it was collected by a certain wealthy or collector, but it was not regarded as a very precious treasure, and the lack of signature may be a big reason. "

In the past few days, Guan Xingquan and the others have also studied it many times. It is very likely that the mounting process was from the Yuan Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty, because the state of preservation is not the top level, but it is in line with the book by Zhou Jiazuo, the mounting craftsman during the Jiajing and Wanli reigns of the late Ming Dynasty. "Decoration History" records the characteristics of painting and calligraphy mounting during the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The owner at that time might really regard the painting as something of the same era as the mounting time: the age of this silk is really ugly.

After that, Zhang Nan went to the wine cabinet and poured himself some vodka, not much, just two ounces, and finished it in one sip.

There is also Moutai here: it was not easy to buy in the 1970s, and Guan Xingquan brought back more than two tons from Beijing in the 1980s through Jiang Aihua's relationship.

As for the Moutai in the manor, I bought it in Chinatown, New York, and there are outlets.

"Drink less of this hairy wine, it has nothing but the smell of alcohol."

Put the wine glass on the bar, "Brother-in-law, I like this for dry drinking."

"But there is trouble now, the painting really needs to be repaired, otherwise I don’t know if it will be ruined if it is left in my hands. The picture will be smashed after this meeting, and after a few years, it will be kept at a constant temperature. The painting may be broken in a constant humidity environment, and it is even harder to see it."

"You want to take it back home?"

"There are only a few places in China that can thoroughly maintain this painting. As far as I know, the Palace Museum has this craft. However, once this painting appears, even if it is regarded as a Tang Dynasty, it may be online. It is difficult to collect it privately!"

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan were also thinking about this question carefully, but in the end they could only ask: "What on earth do you think?"

Yeah, what do you think!

Zhang Nan sat on the sand and thought for a long time before he made a difficult decision: "Give it to the country, this thing should not be privately owned."

Xiang Weirong thought more, "You really are not the most troublesome. You have thought about what to do when you go out of the East without your five-star picture."

Zhang Nan split his mouth and said nothing, because I really didn't know how to say it.

I really gave myself a set, how to get out of it is a circle that seems to be unsolvable!

Now that the decision has been made, the protection of the national treasure cannot be delayed too much: for Zhang Nan it is a precious painting, but for the national culture, it is a huge phenomenon, and even a little spit out. Bad smell!

Just because the earliest copy was snatched to the UK, and this may be the original one!

When Nicole and Jenny came back, Zhang Nan said his plan: The two women had no objection, it was just an ancient painting for them, even if the lover clearly stated its meaning.

Westerners always think differently from Chinese people.

I got the appraisal certificate from the most authoritative dating agency in the United States, and the piece of silk that was smaller than sesame seeds had half of it left. It was packed in a small sealed bag and brought back.

After dinner at 7:30 in the evening, Zhang Nan and his brother-in-law went to the study.

I settled down and dialed the number of the old man of the Jiang family in Beijing......&1t;br>

I called the old man of the Jiang family because Zhang Nan had a prerequisite for dedicating his paintings to the country: not for money, not for fame, but to keep it secret! &1t;br>

"...Yes, long, I hope that the relevant departments and the news media do not know the true origin of this painting. The reason is that many Chinese people have not yet realized it...&1t;br>

Yes, it is long, because we don’t want Westerners to understand the importance of China’s precious cultural relics. Otherwise, once someone with a heart makes a hype, and then want to get such precious cultural relics, the price may reach unimaginable levels... so it’s a domestic private Collecting enthusiasts donated, let the agricultural curator of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall be caught in a black pot...Yes, the agricultural curator and I can be regarded as relatives around the corner. ”&1t;br>

The old man of the Jiang family mentioned the director of the agricultural curator with Guan Xingquan. Because of the bamboo slips in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he directly referred to it as a "small peasant." . &1t;br>

Moreover, it is said that before the parents of the farm curator died, they knew the old man of the Jiang family. &1t;br>

As for "long", that is the name of brother-in-law and Guan, at least it is more comfortable than this one and the other one. &1t;br>

"...Xiao Zhang, I don’t want to say any words of thanks. I will check back when I have time. Also, next time I call to change a place, you will be at home in New York, right? Didn’t you make this call? The problem, our people have paid attention these days, and it will be hard to say in the future.&1t;br>

If you really need something important, you can go to the embassy or consulate, where there are confidential phone numbers. To you, the doors of all Chinese embassies and consulates in the world are open at any time. ”&1t;br>

Zhang Nan was also touched in his heart: The manor is a program-controlled telephone, which means that the Americans' monitoring of their citizens is far less stringent than it was in the 21st century. &1t;br>

Jackson and the others have also checked all the lines and learned about the communications inside and outside the manor through relationships to ensure that some business secrets of the boss will not be leaked. &1t;br>

But when the relevant US agencies understand this "newcomer's money-robbing method", I really can't guarantee that I will be targeted by the CIA or FBI. &1t;br>

"...Thank you for your concern! Okay, I'll let Guan Xingquan send over as soon as possible."&1t;br>

The old man of the Jiang family gave another assurance: the door of the embassy and consulate will always be open to him, which means that even if he has caused great disasters in any corner of the earth, as long as he can run into the Chinese embassy and consulate, this small fate is temporary Guaranteed. &1t;br>

When I hung up the phone, Zhang Nan said: "Brother-in-law, the upper hand already knows where I live, and seems to be observing my side secretly."&1t;br>

"You are truly a rich and adversary country. Of course, the boss will pay attention to you. But the Jiang family said so, which shows that all this is well-intentioned, and it can be regarded as a kind of secret protection.&1t;br>

If you let the U.S. government know that you are a Guan Yunchang at all, don't think about having a better life this day! ”&1t;br>

What Xiang Weirong said is very reasonable. Thinking of this, Zhang Nan started to use his head again. &1t;br>

Now that the American is still a rich American, he has to show his love for the United States. &1t;br>

When you look back, you have to ask when the U.S. election will begin, and you have to engage in politics and investment. &1t;br>

However, Lao Bu is now the Vice President of the United States. I remember that Lao Li will be fully supported in the future elections. It seems that it is quite difficult to get on the line and produce some effects. &1t;br>

However, I don’t have the earliest "Independence-Independence Declaration" of the United States. It seems that you have to use it to show your love for the United States at critical moments, donate it to a certain university, or get an honorary alumni status. . &1t;br>

But don't worry about it, do it slowly, and see which university is more appropriate. &1t;br>

"Which university does Lao Bo come from?"&1t;br>

It's not easy for Zhang Nan to go to the Chinese Consulate on his own, and Guan Xingquan is fine. However, Zhang Nan didn't say anything on the phone in those five "Yongle Dadian", because he and his brother-in-law studied for a day, and what they recorded should be two Taoist exercises that have been lost. &1t;br>

The original version was brought into the imperial mausoleum, and the copy has been hidden in the imperial palace at all, and it hasn't been released outside for hundreds of years! "Yongle Dadian" records the right content as "orphans", so many classics have been lost in this way! &1t;br>

It can only be seen by a very few people such as the emperor, the outside is lost and disappeared like this. &1t;br>

With 370 million words, after these books were re-transcribed from the Jiajing Society, no one has ever read them and read them carefully, not necessarily! &1t;br>

According to Guan Xingquan's view, one exercise method for self-cultivation should be a method for internal exercises. &1t;br>

"Can you become the kind of flying master in martial arts novels?"&1t;br>

"Bullshit! But it's possible to be a super master like Grandpa Sun Lutang."&1t;br>

That's what Guan Xingquan said at the time. &1t;br>

"But my class leader and I are not young anymore~www.readwn.com~ Fortunately, we have a solid foundation. In the past few years, the leg and foot martial arts have been practiced to the end. It is really possible to go further with this technique. But Anan, you are young , If you practice this seriously, it may not necessarily be a good name."&1t;br>

"Come on, Grandpa Sun, I know, an absolute master! But it seems that I haven't lived to be more than a hundred years old. I still study the health regimen first, and hope that I will be able to travel around the world when I am 10 years old, otherwise so much money. It’s boring if you don’t bring death and don’t take it away.&1t;br>

This time, you just need to be there. ”&1t;br>

That being said, the two sets of books have been photographed and kept at the bottom, so they can be studied with each other. &1t;br>

……&1t;br>

Early the next morning, Guan Xingquan drove to the China Consulate General in New York, where he had already received a notice that Comrade Consul directly took over the sealed box from Guan Xingquan. &1t;br>

After opening and seeing the reception, he put a seal on his face and sent it back to China through diplomatic channels as soon as possible. (To be continued.)
