On the afternoon of the fourth day back in New York, Nicole called the villa, and Zhang Nan, who received the call in the living room, actually called "ahhhhhhhh

As soon as the bodyguards in the manor heard the strange voice of the boss, they immediately rushed to the living room: Paul had guns in his hands, and Jin Wenbo and Lin Ming, who were helping in the kitchen, rushed in directly with kitchen knives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that there was nothing, "Boss?"

Zhang Nan was very excited, "It's okay, it's okay! It's just that I was too excited to hear good news." ”

I was a little embarrassed to see the posture of the bodyguards, and even Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong ran in - today is a good weather, the two of them were fishing just now, and they didn't hear Zhang Nan's strange scream.

But out of the corner of his eye, Guan Xingquan noticed that the bodyguard who was on the other side of the courtyard actually pulled out a gun, and the two of them immediately rushed over, just in time to hear Zhang Nan say to everyone that it was okay.

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

"Anan, what's wrong?"

Hearing his brother-in-law's question, Zhang Nan said: "Carbon 14 has been determined, plus or minus 20 years in 400 AD!"

Xiang Weirong frowned, "I remember that Li Shimin became the emperor for more than 600 years, right?"

Zhang Nan nodded again and again, "Li Shimin's father Li Yuan only became emperor in 618, and in 400 AD, it was the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

......

The scroll was on silk and was poorly preserved, and when I returned to New York a few days ago to re-store it, a piece of silk about the size of a sesame seed fell from the corner of the book.

It's been too long.

Zhang Nan made a decision to "destroy cultural relics": put the little bit of silk that fell off into a small sealed bag, and let people contact a laboratory to do carbon 14 dating.

For more than 200 years in the Tang Dynasty, I want to know which period of the facsimile it is: people's curiosity can't stop anything when they come together, and they directly give the highest expedited fee, and this will come to a conclusion.

"Brother-in-law, that painting is not a silk book from the Tang Dynasty at all, this is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Moreover, brother-in-law and Brother Guan may be Gu Kaizhi's original work!"

In the past few days, Xiang Weirong and the others have also learned a lot about the "Yongle Canon" and "The Female History Atlas" from Zhang Nan's mouth, and they also have a little understanding of Gu Kaizhi - Gu Kaizhi's works have not been authenticated so far, and the "Female History Atlas", "Luo Shen Futu", "Lienu Renzhi Tu" and so on that have been handed down to this day are all copies of the Tang and Song dynasties!

Gu Kaizhi lived from about 345 to 406 years, a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a poet, good at calligraphy, especially good at painting!

Moreover, he once made Vimala murals in Jiankang Wa Coffin Temple, which is known to the world, and also wrote famous paintings such as "Wei and Jin Tengliu Painting Praise", "On Painting" and "Painting Yuntai Mountain", which had a far-reaching influence on later generations.

It is definitely a character of the level of Taishan Beidou in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting: the age is right, if it is really his real work, this is the only one in the world at present!

"However, there is no signature on the painting, so I can't be sure. ”

Zhang Nan listened to his 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 if it is Gu Kaizhi's true handiwork, it can be passed down from generation to generation, a miracle!"

Nearly 16 centuries later, a small silk painting has been preserved, and it is really difficult for Zhang Nan to describe his feelings.

When he was a tomb robber, he "started" a lot of Yue kiln celadon of the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and many porcelains were "bitten" by more than 1,000 years.

And this is the protein texture of the silk!

"Wonderful thing, brother-in-law.

Let's not talk about it after the scroll arrives in Europe, even if it is preserved in China, I guess that person will definitely not know that this thing is something from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, otherwise this scroll would not have been preserved so badly. ”

Not a problem of the last hundred years, but hundreds of years without fixing.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan smiled as he spoke, "Luck, fortunately, there was no charcoal 14 measurement in ancient times, otherwise this thing would definitely be in the hands of the emperor." Even if it was robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, it would be in those dog-day museums.

I guess this painting was regarded as a remnant of the Song Dynasty and collected by a powerful person or collector, but it was not regarded as a very precious treasure, and the lack of payment may be a big reason. ”

In the past few days, Guan Xingquan and they have also studied many times together, and the mounting process is very likely to be in the Yuan Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty, because the state of preservation is not the top, but it is in line with the record of the characteristics of the mounting of calligraphy and painting in the Song and Yuan dynasties in the "Decoration Chronicles" written by the framing craftsman Zhou Jiaxuan in the late Ming Dynasty and Wanli periods.

The owner at the time may have really regarded the painting as something from the same era as when it was framed: the age of the silk is really ugly.

After speaking, Zhang Nan went to the wine cabinet and poured himself some vodka, not much, just two ounces, and drank it in one gulp.

There is also Moutai here: it was not easy to buy in the 70s, and through Jiang Aihua's relationship in the 80s, Guan Xingquan pulled back more than two tons from Beijing.

As for the Moutai in the manor, it was bought in New York's Chinatown and there was an export.

"I don't drink much of this Maozi's wine, except for the smell of alcohol. ”

Putting the wine glass on the bar, "Brother-in-law, I like this when I drink it." ”

"But now there is trouble, the painting really needs to be repaired, otherwise I really don't know if it will be ruined if I leave it in my hands. This will already be the slag of the picture, and even if it is placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment in a few years, the painting may be broken, and it will not be visible. ”

"You want to take it back home?"

"There are only a few places in China that can completely maintain this painting, and as far as I know, the Palace Museum has this craft. However, as soon as this painting appears, even if it is regarded as a Tang Dynasty, it may be put on the line, and 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 do you think?"

yes, what the hell do you think!

Zhang Nan sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, and then made a difficult decision: "Give it to the country, this thing shouldn't be something that private people can have." ”

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

Zhang Nan cracked his mouth and didn't speak, because he really didn't know what to say.

I really set myself a trap, how to climb out is a circle that seems to be unsolvable!

Now that the decision has been made, it can't be delayed for the protection of national treasures: for Zhang Nan, it is just a precious painting, and for national culture, this is a huge discovery, and it will even taste a little evil!

Just because the earliest facsimile was snatched to the UK, and we may be the original!

When Nicole and Jenny came back, Zhang Nan said his plan: the two women have no opinion, for them it is just an ancient painting, even if the lover clearly says its meaning.

Westerners always think differently than Chinese.

I got the appraisal report of the most authoritative dating agency in the United States, and half of the piece of silk smaller than sesame seeds was left, which was packed in a small sealed bag and brought back.

After dinner at half past seven in the evening, Zhang Nan and his brother-in-law went to the study.

settled down and dialed the phone number of the old man of the Jiang family in Beijing......

called the old man of the Jiang family, it was because Zhang Nan had a prerequisite for dedicating the painting to the country: not for money, not for fame, but for secrecy!

“... Yes, chief, I hope that the relevant departments and the news media do not know the true origin of this painting, because many Chinese people are not aware of it now...

Yes, chief, it is because I don't want Westerners to understand the importance of precious cultural relics in China, otherwise once people with intentions hype up and want to get such precious cultural relics, the price may reach an unimaginable level... Therefore, it was donated by domestic private collectors, and the agricultural curator of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall was affected by this black pot... Yes, I and the curator can be regarded as relatives who go around the corner. ”

The old man of the Jiang family mentioned the agricultural curator to Guan Xingquan, because of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Bamboo Slips, he directly called him "small farmer" - the agricultural curator has a sister in the capital, and now they are all the leaders of the "ministry".

And it is said that before the death of the farmer's parents, he originally knew the old man of the Jiang family.

As for "chief", that is the name of the senior brother-in-law and Brother Guan, at least it is more comfortable than this old and that old one.

“... Xiao Zhang, I won't say much thanks, come back more when I have time. Also, the next time you call to change places, you will be at home in New York, right, you make this call is no problem, our people have paid attention these days, and it will be difficult to say in the future.

If you really want something important, you can go to the embassy or consulate, where there is a confidential phone. For you, the doors of all Chinese embassies and consulates in the world are open at any time. ”

Zhang Nan was also a little moved in his heart: there are program-controlled telephones in the manor, and the monitoring of their own citizens by Americans is far less strict than in the 21st century.

Jackson: They also checked all the lines, and also learned about the communication inside and outside the manor through their connections to ensure that some of the boss's trade secrets would not be leaked.

But when the relevant US agencies understand this "newcomer's money-grabbing methods", there is really no guarantee that they will not be targeted by the CIA, the FBI or anything.

“... Thank you for your concern! Okay, I'll let Guan Xingquan send it over as soon as possible. ”

The old man of the Jiang family gave another guarantee: the door of the embassy and consulate will always be open to him, which means that even if he causes a big disaster in any corner of the earth, as long as he can run into the Chinese embassy and consulate, this little life will be temporarily guaranteed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Nan said: "Brother-in-law, the boss already knows where I live, and it seems that he is still secretly observing my side." ”

"You're really rich, and of course the bosses will pay attention to you. However, the Jiang family said so, which shows that all this is well-intentioned, and it can be regarded as a kind of secret protection.

If you let the U.S. government know that you are Guan Yunchang at all, you won't have a good time!"

What Xiang Weirong said was very reasonable, thinking of this, Zhang Nan began to use his crooked brain again.

Now that he is an American and a super-rich man, he has to show a little love for the United States.

If you go back and ask when the US election will start, you have to do some political investment.

However, Lao Bu is now the vice president of the United States, and I remember that he will get Lao Li's full support in the future election, which is quite difficult to get on the line and make some effect seemingly normal.

However, I don't have the earliest "Declaration of Independence" in the United States, and it seems that I have to use it to show my love for the United States at a critical moment, donate it to a certain university or something, and get an honorary alumni status or something.

But there's no need to rush, just take your time and see which university is more suitable.

"Which university is Lao Bu?"

Zhang Nan is not good to go to the Huaxia Consulate General by himself, Guan Xingquan is no problem. However, Zhang Nan didn't say anything on the phone about the five "Yongle Canons", because he and his brother-in-law studied for a day and found that they should be recorded in two exercises that have been lost in Taoism.

The original version was brought into the imperial mausoleum, and the copy has been hidden in the palace at all, and it has not been passed out for hundreds of years! The "Yongle Canon" records that the content is "a unique product", and how many classics have been lost in this way!

It can only be seen by a very few people such as the emperor, and the outside is lost and disappeared.

370 million words, after these books were re-copied from Jiajing, no one opened them at all and read them carefully!

One is a self-cultivation exercise, and the other should be a set of internal exercises according to Guan Xingquan's opinion.

"Can you become the kind of flying master in martial arts novels?"

"! But it's possible to become a top master like the old man Sun Lutang. ”

That's what Guan Xingquan said at the time.

"But I and the squad leader are not young, fortunately there is a little foundation, a few years ago, the leg and foot kung fu has been practiced, and it is really possible to go further with this exercise. But Anan, you are young, if you practice this seriously, it is not necessary that you can really make a name for yourself. ”

"Come on, Old Man Sun, I know, an absolute master! But it doesn't seem that I have lived to be more than a hundred years old, I still study the health practice first, and I hope that by the age of 100, I will be able to travel around the world, otherwise so much money will not bring to life and death, and it will be boring."

This kung fu is just done with you. ”

That being said, both sets of books were photographed and left at their own bottoms, so they were able to study each other.

......

Early the next morning, Guan Xingquan drove to the Huaxia Consulate General in New York, where he had already received a notice that the consular comrade had directly taken over the sealed box from Guan Xingquan.

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