Chapter 62: Marry You If I Buy It (Urgently Need a Book Friend Recommendation Ticket)
What's the price?!
It comes from Guangshengxia Temple in HD County, Jin Province, China, and is a fine product in the murals of the Yuan Dynasty, which has a history of more than 700 years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info picture shows the Medicine Buddha and the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Bodhisattva together, collectively known as the Three Sages of the East.
In the twenties and thirties, when the warlords were fighting, the monks of the temple could not live and the temple was dilapidated, so the monks sold the mural to two Americans, and the proceeds from the sale of the painting were used to repair the temple and live.
After peeling the painting and selling it, when the Guangsheng Temple was rebuilt, there was a record that said very clearly: last year (1929), there were guests as far away (two Americans), the Buddha Hall painted the wall, Bo Kuching is elegant, and the price can be worth more than 1,000 gold. The monk Zhenda invited the gentry to appraise and sell. The public opinion thought that there was no money to repair the temple, and it was a pity for many years, and if they did not give up this picture, the wall would be destroyed and the same thing would be destroyed......
He sold it to two Americans for 1,600 yuan, and the proceeds were used to repair the temple. ”
Zhang Nan paused when he said this, and then said: "This mural was peeled off like this, divided into hundreds of pieces, and sent to the United States, where it was purchased by an American dentist who loves Chinese cultural relics. In 1964, the dentist, in his mother's name, donated the mural to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the huge mural in front of him, "So, it's worth 1,600 oceans!"
Jon and Kmis couldn't understand Chinese, and the Chinese tour guide looked a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to translate for Jon and them.
Here, Guan Xingquan glanced at the tour guide, and his cold eyes made the young man tremble, and he didn't dare to say anything!
This look can be killed!
It is said that there are at least more than 30,000 pieces of precious Chinese cultural relics in the Metropolitan Museum, and the porcelain collection on display around the hall of the Asian Pavilion on the second floor alone, from early celadon and white porcelain, Changsha kiln and Sancai in the Tang Dynasty, five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Ding, Ru, Guan, Ge and Jun in the Song Dynasty, to blue and white and red in the glaze in the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white in the Jingdezhen official kiln in the Ming and Qing dynasties, red glaze, yellow glaze, doucai, five-colored, ink color and so on!
Here you can see almost a complete and detailed history of Chinese porcelain, and some of them are even rare treasures!
It is said that the origin of one of the sets of Song Jun kiln porcelain is that the Manchu court in the Xuantong period was not able to turn around financially, and a set of Song Jun kiln porcelain hidden in the palace and handed down from the royal collection of the past dynasties was mortgaged to the British HSBC Bank with a value of 100,000 taels of silver, and was resold to the Metropolitan Museum by the HSBC Bank due to overdue redemption.
The preciousness of the Metropolitan Museum's collection of Chinese porcelain is evident – and it's just porcelain!
After visiting the Asian Pavilion, I casually looked at the other exhibition halls: the Americans moved an Egyptian temple here!
The time was almost up, and everyone left the museum full of wonder and anger.
"Anan, let's come here again in a few days and take a closer look!" Guan Xingquan said to Zhang Nan privately when he went out.
"Add me. ”
The others stood a little farther away, but Xiang Weirong was beside him, and when he heard it, he popped out like this.
Although the two of them understood that it would be impossible to pull a brother, and snatch this damn museum with a few submachine guns, but what Zhang Nan did some time ago Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan actually knew and could feel that he was also doing his best to rescue Chinese cultural relics!
Two soldiers who had proved their loyalty to Huaxia with their blood and lives on the battlefield resolutely supported Zhang Nan's decision!
Even if you have to pick up a gun again in the dark for this reason, you don't hesitate to do so!
Not only Zhang Nan, but also several officials here are also unhappy: not for Zhang Nan, but for the Americans except for the Xinlixiu Luggage Company!
Ran halfway around the world, and as a result, went to the museum of the American-Yankees to receive a patriotic education!
Imperialism-ism's immortal education, Secretary Xiang and others are unforgettable, out of the museum, the eyes of New York have changed!
Fortunately, I'm polite to Jon and the others: there will be some friends among the enemies!
It's past four o'clock, so hurry up and head to the Empire State Building.
It has been reminded before that dinner is estimated to be around 8 o'clock in the evening, and snacks are specially prepared in the tour bus to avoid everyone from going hungry.
When everyone stood in front of the Empire State Building, Secretary Xiang looked up at the roof of the building, and really looked down at the hat, everyone's mood seemed to change again.
Zhang Nan and the two girls also looked up at the building together, and he said to the two beauties beside him: "You say, how about I buy it?"
"Empire State Building?!"
The two girls looked at Zhang Nan with stupid eyes.
"You're not sick, are you?" said Chen Xiaoxu.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! Is it hard to buy the Empire State Building? I think it's much easier than it is to make you happy. ”
After saying that, he smiled and was about to enter the building.
As a result, Zhang Li pulled Zhang Nan and reached out to touch Zhang Nan's forehead.
"It's not hot!"
Both of them were nervous when he was nervous, Zhang Nan simply stopped, looked at the two of them, thought about it and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"If I buy the Empire State Building, Ali, you'll marry me right away!"
Zhang Li still thought that Zhang Nan was nervous, and it was a little strange to look at him. Chen Xiaoxu said: "If you have this building, don't talk about your family, Ali, you will be willing to take ten wives!"
"Would you like to do the same?"
This choked Chen Xiaoxu.
Zhang Li rolled her eyes at Zhang Nan and took Chen Xiaoxu's hand: "This guy is nervous, don't pay attention to him." ”
"I make a serious statement: I'm normal at the moment. Comrade Chen Xiaoxu, let me formally ask again: If I buy this Empire State Building, are you willing to marry me?"
Zhang Nan pretended to have a serious expression, serious, and amused the two girls.
"If you can buy this Empire State Building, don't talk about me, the two of us will marry you together!"
This is Zhang Li.
Zhang Li's bold side collapsed: Isn't it just a joke, such a big bargaining chip, go back and tell friends and family that everyone can have fun.
"Xiao Xu, did you say?"
Zhang Li laughed again as she spoke, even Chen Xiaoxu didn't doubt it, this is a fantasy at all!
"Okay, if you can buy this mansion, I'll marry you with your family. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the nature of the No. 1 prank expert of the Dream of Red Mansions crew jumped out again, and hurriedly added: "If we two are 30 years old, no, we will only buy it before we are 25 years old! Otherwise, we will wait for you to be 80 years old and then buy this building, and we will wait for you to be 80 years old?"
"Okay, that's decided!
"Whoever repents is a puppy!"
"High five!"
"Bang" two high-fives, the oath is made!
On this side, Zhang Nan had a conspiracy on his face, and on the other side, the two girls were still talking and laughing, and the group of people on the side were also attracted by the voices of the three of them.
County Magistrate Li also asked Zhang Li what was going on, and she really told everyone about the gambling contract.
Everyone laughed at this time, it was just a joke of a young man. It may be a bit inappropriate to make this joke at home, but it would be in the United States, and such a joke would be harmless.
In particular, Secretary Xiang, who had been holding back the fire in the museum just now, added: "Young people just have to have ambition, buy the geographical indications of the Americans, and be angry with them! but..."
"Young people still have to be down-to-earth!" County Magistrate Li answered with a smile.
