Chapter 835: The House of the Number One Antiquities Dealer
Taking a bottle of mineral water and filling a bottle of cold boiled water, Chen Wen left the villa and took the shuttle bus from Versailles to Paris. I entered the edge of the city of Paris, transferred to the metro, came to Monceau, and found the first university.
At 11:30 a.m., Chen Wen arrived at the student bulletin board, where he found the address note posted by Ms. Zhang last weekend.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Wanting and Song Qinyao arrived together.
Chen Wen handed over three traditional costumes to the two girls, the two costumes were stuffed into Zhang Wanting's schoolbag, and the handmade maid skirt was packed up by Song Qinyao.
The two girls chattered about the process of the orientation at the University of Versailles, with curious and expectant expressions on their faces.
Chen Wen led the two of them to a comprehensive restaurant outside the school, where the three of them ate bread, grilled sausages and thick soup.
Chen Wen answered all the questions about the orientation meeting, including Shinji Ohno's unfriendly attitude and the fact that he would go to Italy with this Japanese student to bet on the F1 race.
Zhang Wanting sighed heavily and blamed: "Tell me about you, what are you going to provoke that rich son of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries." ”
Chen Wen said with a smile: "Win the little devil's money, if you don't win, you won't win for nothing." ”
Zhang Wanting said: "How do you know that you will win, one person has half a chance! Besides, neither of you may win the result!"
Chen Wen said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you lose a little money, if you win, you'll be very happy." Win glory for the country, right, huhu. ”
Zhang Wanting said: "This is not how to win glory for the country. Alas, if only Teacher Meng were here, she would definitely teach you a lesson!"
Chen Wen thought to himself, your teacher Meng has already had a deep little ambiguity with Lao Tzu, so she won't teach me a lesson!
Song Qinyao said: "Okay, Wanting, don't keep talking about Chen Wen, it's not easy for him to come all the way, you tell people that they are unhappy, next time he shouldn't like to come to see the two of us!"
Zhang Wanting smiled: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, watching him waste money, I can't bear it." ”
Chen Wen suddenly remembered what Teacher Ma had said through Tang Jin, so he asked Song Qinyao: "You are studying archaeology, you know the Red Mansion in Paris, right?"
Song Qinyao nodded: "Lu Qinzhai built a Chinese-style building in Paris. ”
Chen Wen asked, "Is it far from here?"
Song Qinyao shook her head: "It's close, just walk." ”
Chen Wen said: "A friend recommended me to visit, are you free at noon, can you take me to see it?"
Song Qinyao smiled: "Okay! Let's go!"
Zhang Wanting said: "I'll go too!"
The trio left the complex.
I didn't walk a few steps out of the house and met a group of people, a total of 5 men and 2 women.
This group of people is talking about Huaxia
Language, obviously compatriots and international students, greeted Zhang Wanting and Song Qinyao warmly, and even a few of them called Chen Wen's name.
Chen Wen saw that the other party's face was familiar, and recalled that it was actually the group of people who went to Normandy together last Sunday.
Soon, Chen Wen recognized it, the five boys were former international students who led the group on the trip, and the two girls, Chen Wen also recognized them, they stripped off their shirts and basked in the sun on the beach.
It's 1992, and the two girls are quite bold that day. Even in Chen Wen's previous life in 2019, looking at the entire China, only a few women dared to do that.
Chen Wen remembered that if Song Qinyao hadn't grabbed Zhang Wanting's hand that day, Zhang Wanting would probably have unbuttoned it.
Seven people blocked Chen Wen's way. Song Qinyao's attitude was quite cold, and she didn't speak after humming twice. Zhang Wanting chatted with the two girls quite vigorously.
Chen Wen watched everyone's performance on the side, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
Song Qinyao was impatient and shouted, "Wanting, we still have to hurry, let's go!"
Zhang Wanting said goodbye to the other party, then turned around and followed Song Qinyao, and Chen Wen followed behind the two.
Song Qinyao muttered: "Wanting, what are you talking to about those two shameless women!"
Zhang Wanting said: "If I also took off my clothes and went to bask in the sun that day, would you say the same about me?"
Song Qinyao said: "With me here, I won't allow you to do that!"
Zhang Wanting sighed and said, "You can't care about me for the rest of your life." ”
Song Qinyao scolded: "If you strip naked in public one day and go to bask in the sun, I will break off your friendship!"
Zhang Wanting said in a soft tone: "Okay, listen to you, I'm not the same as them!"
Song Qinyao said: "It's about the same!"
Chen Wen followed behind the two girls, but he heard a little taste, it seemed that Zhang Wanting had a heart that was eager to release, this discovery made Chen Wen have mixed feelings, and he even began to wonder if Meng wanted to bask in the sun when he was studying in France.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Red House in Paris, located next to the Parc Monceau.
From the outside, Chen Wen gave an idiom to evaluate: nondescript.
Chen Wen has not studied ancient Chinese architecture, but he has a deep understanding of the original ecology. In addition, he bought the "Fuwang Mansion", and he definitely has an experience of whether the ancient buildings have the original flavor of China.
The red building in front of me has a total of 5 floors, and the whole building is built into a cuboid, which is the same as the layout of the tube building. I don't know why, but the roof of the slanted glazed tiles has been made half slanted, and the top is a flat roof, as if half of the head has been cut off.
On the top of the first, third, and fifth floors, three circles of eaves were repaired, so that the tower was not a tower, and the building was not a building. All facades are
It is red, and a small archway is built in front of the courtyard, but it also has a Chinese style.
Chen Wen didn't have a good impression of the Red Mansion because he had heard the key words from Tang Jin and Song Qinyao, especially Song Qinyao, who called the original owner of the house, Lu Qinzhai, a "cultural relics dealer".
Sure enough, when she came to the Red Mansion today, Song Qinyao had no good words in her mouth.
"More than half of the Chinese cultural relics lost overseas were resold by this Lu Qinzhai!"
"Before he died, he wrote a memoir saying that he was not reselling cultural relics, but protecting cultural relics!"
"God has eyes, he gave birth to four daughters, but no son!"
"Chen Wen, do you know? In those famous museums in Europe and the United States, all the high-end cultural relics of our China were either looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance, or they were resold by this Lu Qinzhai!"
Looking at Song Qinyao's distressed expression, Chen Wen silently praised this girl who studied archaeology.
In the field of archaeology, as well as in terms of cultural relics, Chen Wen is illiterate. Song Qinyao can scold people in chapters, but Chen Wen can't find words and phrases that match his rank if he wants to scold, so he can only obediently listen to the beauties going crazy.
Chen Wen secretly blamed himself, it's terrible to be uneducated, and even scolding people seems to be at a loss!
The Red House was open for a visit, and Chen Wen spent 30 francs, bought 3 tickets, and the three of them went inside for sightseeing.
Song Qinyao had never been here, but she knew everything about the background of the Red Mansion and acted as a free tour guide for Chen Wen and Zhang Wanting.
The little beauty chattered a lot of history, Chen Wen went in and out of his left ear, and only remembered two things.
First of all, the house no longer belonged to the descendants of Lu Qinzhai and was donated to the Parisian authorities and listed as a historical and cultural heritage.
Chen Wen thought to himself, if Lu Qinzhai really buried some valuable cultural relics under the ground of the Red Mansion back then, wouldn't he Chen Wen find someone to dig it up, wouldn't he have to guard against the Paris police?
It's possible to do this after a trip to study abroad, and it's quite exciting to think about it!
Another thing is that the agency established by Lu Qinzhai to resell cultural relics was called "Lu Wu Company".
The reason why Chen Wen can remember this name is because these 6 characters are written on a plaque, and the plaque is hung at the gate.
In the 5-storey Red Building, the first and second floors were opened, and the remaining 3 floors were sealed.
Chen Wenjue thought, since this Lu Qinzhai is the No. 1 cultural relics dealer in China, how can he say that there should be a few treasures in his old mansion?
As a result, he miscalculated again, and went around upstairs and downstairs, except for a few very common ancient tables, chairs and benches, there were no cabinets, let alone valuable cultural relics. He estimates that the descendants of the antiquities dealer emptied the house in advance when they donated it.
Song Qinyao's explanation is mostly revealing the black history of Lu Qinzhai, and half is mocking the architectural pattern of the Red Mansion. Chen Wen listened to it and really found it interesting.
