Chapter 1984 Landmark Cultural and Museum Building
After dinner, David and Jason left and drove to the Wangfu Hotel, which was not far away.
Cole and a few armed security guards stayed behind and followed his uncle to the guest room in the backyard, the hood room, where they would stay tonight.
Ye Tian and his family sat in the living room of the north room of the inner courtyard, laughing and chatting, and the theme was a series of things that happened in the past time.
The keynote speaker is naturally Ye Tian, and his grandparents, parents, and other family members are all his most loyal listeners.
Unlike telling these stories to others, when telling them to his family, Ye Tian tried his best to use a flat and direct way to downplay those thrilling scenes, so as not to worry his family.
Even so, listening to his story, all the family members felt nervous, and exclamations kept coming from the living room.
When Ye Tian introduced that he had discovered the treasure and pocketed those valuable gold and silver treasures and antique relics, there would be bursts of cheers in the living room.
Especially when he introduced that he had exchanged a large number of national treasure-level antique artworks from famous British cultural institutions such as the British Museum and the British Library, the cheers instantly reached their peak and resounded throughout the house!
Between laughter and laughter, more than half an hour passed quickly.
The conversation has changed to talk about Ye Tian and Betty's upcoming Chinese wedding in Beijing.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, have you set a date for the Chinese wedding? and a place to hold the wedding, at home or at the hotel?
Ye Tian asked with a smile, looking at the family members present.
Hearing this, Dad immediately looked at Mom and motioned for her to answer.
"The date is set, it's set on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it's still a holiday, everyone has time to come to the wedding, no need to ask for leave, when you and Betty come back from New York, we'll send out invitations."
There are two places in total, the place where the wedding ceremony is held is the gate of this mansion, and the people who come to attend the ceremony are also our family's relatives, friends and neighbors, as well as some of your hair children.
Meals can be booked from a nearby restaurant or hotel, and your friends in the field of antique art and other friends can be met at the hotel."
My mother talked about the general arrangements for the wedding, and her excited eyes lit up.
Can you not feel excited, this is your son's wedding and a lifelong event!
As soon as the words fell, Ye Tian chuckled and nodded and said:
"No problem, Mom, it's good to arrange this way, you can do whatever you want, Betty and I are two marionettes, under your command!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.
When the laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian continued:
"One thing I want to say, in London before, in view of the fact that I got back so many national treasure-level antique artworks at one time, Shan Lao of the Forbidden City said that if I wanted, my wedding with Betty could even be held in the Taihe Palace.
After returning to Beijing, Shan Lao mentioned this matter again, saying that if I am interested, they can apply to the relevant departments, and I believe it will not be difficult to get approval.
Before his words fell, the living room was already completely boiling, and exclamations rang out one after another.
"It's really fake, I heard it right, right? Holding a wedding in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, this is too exaggerated, they can really be willing to do it, but it's really enough!"
"If the Chinese wedding of Xiaotian and Betty can really be held in the Taihe Palace, although it is not unprecedented, it is very likely that there will be no one to come, and it will definitely cause a huge sensation."
In the exclamation, Linlin, Chenxi, and Dongzi, the three little guys had already jumped up like an electric shock, dancing and shouting.
Mom was even more excited, and she couldn't sit still.
However, Grandpa and Dad fell silent and looked at each other.
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa shook his head lightly and said:
"Forget it, Xiaotian, this Chinese wedding will be held in our house, there is no need to be in the limelight, your kid is already high-profile enough abroad, it's better to be low-key when you return to China"
Regarding Grandpa's words, Ye Tian naturally had no objections.
"Come on, just listen to you, grandpa, in fact, I think the same way, there is no need to be in the limelight, besides, the weather is so cold now, it will be more offending to hold a wedding in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City!"
"Heyββ!"
There was a sigh in the living room, and the mother and the others were somewhat disappointed, but they were quickly relieved.
Next, Ye Tian continued to laugh and chat with his family, enjoying the warm family affection.
At this time, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and a waning moon hung in the sky, sprinkling the cold moonlight all over the capital!
The weather outside has become colder, but the gate of this mansion located in the alley of Lishi is full of strong family affection, warm as spring!
......
There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning.
After breakfast, Ye Tian left the mansion with his parents and went straight to his grandmother's house in Haidian District.
Although I came back in a hurry this time, and I will leave Beijing soon, my grandmother's house must go, otherwise I will wait for it!
Next, of course, there was a series of warm and touching scenes.
It wasn't until noon, after lunch, that Ye Tianfang left his grandmother's house and rushed to the Forbidden City by car.
In the Forbidden City, a large group of top antique art appraisal experts, well-known experts and scholars who study Dunhuang Studies, as well as several high-level officials from the Ministry of Culture and relevant departments, are waiting for him eagerly.
After rushing to the Forbidden City and meeting with everyone, Ye Tian led these people to the vault where the more than 18,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Canon were stored, as well as other top calligraphy, painting, art, and rare books.
On the way, Ye Tian whispered his decision to Shan Lao, saying that he didn't plan to borrow the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City to hold a Chinese wedding between himself and Betty, and it was better to keep a low profile.
However, he also thanked Shan Lao for his kindness, and told the old man that his Chinese wedding with Betty would be held on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the venue was the gate of his family's mansion.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Shan Lao looked him up and down carefully as if he didn't know him, and felt very surprised.
This kid in front of him is notoriously high-profile and flamboyant! How can a night pass, as if he had changed someone, he actually chose to keep a low profile and let go of this opportunity to be in the limelight.
Although he was surprised, Shan Lao didn't say much, of course, it was useless for him to say anything.
While he was talking, a well-known high-level official of the Ministry of Culture suddenly came to Ye Tian's side and whispered to him:
"Ye Tian, we welcome and support your construction of a private museum in Beijing, which is a good thing that will benefit and do no harm, and will make Beijing's cultural atmosphere stronger!
Have you decided to build this private museum there? Have you thought about it, do you have a location you like? Are you going to renovate an existing building, or are you going to build a new building altogether?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this old friend, and then smiled and whispered:
"Thank you for your concern, you are right, my new private museum in Beijing is indeed beneficial and harmless, not only to make Beijing's cultural atmosphere stronger, but also to make Beijing more diverse.
We haven't decided on the location of this private museum yet, but I hope that it will be along Chang'an Avenue within the Second Ring Road, which will echo and complement the National Museum and the Forbidden City.
I haven't decided whether to renovate an existing building or build a new modern museum building, it depends on the situation, but I'd rather add a new landmark to Beijing!
I can pay for the land to build a private museum, as long as the location is ideal, the price is not a problem, and in this way, I can also consume a little cash in my hand to avoid being looted by the IRS vultures."
"Wowββ! you kid has a lot of ambitions! If you can add a new landmark building to Beijing, it would be great, we are happy to see it happen, raise our hands in favor!"
The senior of the Ministry of Culture nodded excitedly and said, and Shan Lao's eyes also shone with excitement.
As they spoke, the group had arrived at the door of the vault.
Next, everyone walked into the preparation room, and they all put on protective clothing and gloves.
After everything was ready, Ye Tianfang opened the constant temperature and humidity vault, walked in with everyone, and began to appreciate the Dunhuang scriptures, rare books, and top calligraphy and painting artworks that had just returned to China!
