Hillary Clinton was furious when she saw the bugging device in her study, and roared angrily: "Who gave them the authority to dare to put a listening device in my study?! Who has the audacity to dare to spy on the current US Secretary of State?! This is a crime, Chi Guoguo's crime! I can't spare him no matter who it is! Hmph!" After saying that, Hillary slapped the table with her hand again.

Zheng Xudong snorted twice, "Aunt Hillary, I think there are no more than five people in the whole United States who dare to put this thing in your room!

In fact, Hillary had already thought of it just now, but she didn't want to expose her "family ugliness" in front of Zheng Xudong, an outsider, but this fine and smart "monkey cub" had already guessed, so there was no need to hide it, at this time she raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Leon Panetta, fuck you! I fuck the female members of your family!" I just said good things about you in Congress two days ago, and you're treating me like that!FUCK!"

Seeing Hillary Clinton's angry appearance, Zheng Xudong laughed in his heart, you guys will fight internally, I won't play with you!

Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Aunt Clinton, it's not too early, I'm going back too." ”

"Well, go back, you've just finished a fan meeting and you're tired for a day, so I can't let you go back empty-handed when you come to me, I'll give you this beast head handicraft from the Old Summer Palace that someone else gave me." ”

Zheng Xudong also said a big "FUCK!" to her in his heart, "He thought to himself, don't talk about the 50 million dollars in cash I gave you, just say that I gave you two bottles of red wine worth 100,000 dollars, and you will give me a "dog head" worth less than 5,000 dollars, are you capitalists so realistic!

He thought so in his heart, but he still said, "How embarrassing is this! This is someone else's gift, I can't take it... ”

Hillary glanced at him with her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be in front of me, I know you don't like this little thing, but the landlord's family has no surplus food! Get out, the United States wants to come to me to play in the future! I won't give you away." ”

Zheng Xudong sat in the Ford E350 RV with a dog head in his arms, and his heart was full of reactions, what do you say you don't want to give, why don't you give me two cigarettes, or a better cigar, just give me a "dog head", and say that the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and the next Olympics! If you have no surplus food, other people's families will starve to death!

The more he looked at the "dog head", the more awkward he became, he opened the car window and saw that there were garbage bins on both sides of the road every few hundred meters, and he believed that he could throw this "dog head" into the garbage bin even in a moving car.

He glanced at it with his eyes, measured the speed of the car again, and was just about to throw this "dog head" out, when he heard Xiao Ai say: "Master, don't throw it, this dog head is from the late Qing Dynasty." ”

"WHAT, XIAO AI, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? DO YOU MEAN THAT THIS IS THE DOG HEAD IN MY ARMS THAT IS ONE OF THE TWELVE BEAST HEADS OF THE OLD SUMMER PALACE?" ASKED ZHENG XUDONG IN SURPRISE.

"I don't know if it's the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace, but I know that it should be an object from the late Qing Dynasty. Xiao Ai said in his mind.

"Oh! That's it! But I don't look like it! I learned some antique knowledge from my father, you can see this shape, but this material is copper, and there is no sense of historical heaviness, and there is no pulp. Zheng Xudong took this "dog head" in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and he could see where there was the atmosphere of the late Qing Dynasty. In the antique shop, there is a saying, "Your object is not from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is from the last week." "This is obviously a work from decades ago!

"If you look at it with a see-through eye, this dog's head is covered with a layer of copper, and this copper skin is new. Listening to Xiao Ai in his mind, Zheng Xudong hurriedly looked at it with perspective eyes, and sure enough, as Xiao Ai said, this outside is a layer of copper skin, tightly wrapped around the outside of this "dog head", tightly wrapped, and even Zheng Xudong was deceived as soon as he got started, let alone those foreigners.

Zheng Xudong took out the "mad dog" military dagger made of tungsten steel from the space, maybe it was a coincidence, using the "mad dog" to cut the "dog's head" is really a perfect match!

Zheng Xudong carefully used the tip of the "mad dog" knife to gently pick at the bottom of the neck of the "dog head", and the copper skin covered by the "dog head" was picked open by the tip of the "mad dog", Zheng Xudong has now entered the realm of the "heart knife" with the knife, which is what the old "antique" surnamed Sun said, he only felt that the knife could basically do what he wanted to do in his hands, and he picked up the copper skin with a thickness of less than one millimeter with this knife, and did not hurt the "dog head" inside.

He grabbed the corner of the copper skin with one hand, and grabbed the "dog's head" with the other hand, and the hand that grabbed the copper skin tore outward vigorously, with his current strength, not to mention the copper skin with a thickness of less than one millimeter, even a steel plate five millimeters thick could be torn by his hand.

It took less than a minute for the copper skin on the outside to be torn clean by him, revealing the original "dog's head" inside, and sure enough, just like his father said, a cultural relic with a sense of age, the heavy sense of history does not need to be seen, no need to touch, it will naturally "rush to the face", and the feeling of "hitting the face" hurts in the face!

He knew that his father loved to joke and exaggerate, but this sense of heaviness could indeed be clearly felt, the essence of the sun and moon left on it, and the marks left by the years, the thick layer of pulp, all seemed to tell "I finally returned to the embrace of the Chinese".

It turns out that it is one of the beast heads of the Old Summer Palace, "dog head"!

Speaking of these animal heads of the 12 zodiac signs in the Old Summer Palace, Zheng Xudong still has some right to speak, of course, his father told him in detail before his death. During the Qianlong period, this foreign product kept boasting in Qianlong's ears how magnificent and beautiful the water law in front of the Palace of Versailles in France was, and how could the "perfect old man" who had heard it in his ears and kept it in his heart could make the things of the Qing Empire inferior to a small western country! This was absolutely unbearable.

So Qianlong, the "perfect old man" who was very happy, allocated a piece of land in his own garden (Old Summer Palace) to build the "Haiyan Hall", which was completed in 1759 (the 24th year of Qianlong). The word "Haiyan" means the auspicious meaning of "Heqing Haiyan, Guotai and Min'an". And ordered Xun Shining, a foreign product, to design the water method in front of Haiyan Hall, which must be high, big, and up, and it must be more spectacular and gorgeous than the one in front of the Palace of Versailles!

He originally designed not the head of the zodiac animal, he originally designed twelve Western beauties with their upper bodies exposed (this is preserved by the design drawings), each Western beauty is like Venus, of course, the kind with arms, the upper body is bare and the lower body is caressed with a piece of white yarn, giving people infinite reverie!

Qianlong looked at the sculpture model made by Xun Shining, so he didn't push this foreign product to the "vegetable market" and cut it, in the words of Zheng Xudong's father, "You still think that my harem is not messy, don't you, these women with two big mothers exposed, how can you let the eunuchs who are waiting for me be embarrassed!" If it weren't for Ji Xiaolan's intercession, saying that it was their Western Ru Mao drinking blood, and the leaves on his body were not civilized, and for the sake of Xun Shining's many years of service in the Celestial Empire (one of the portraits of Yongzheng was painted by Xun Shining), and he had served the first emperor many times, he would not have been cut off for the crime of "confusing the harem". And let him make meritorious contributions and redesign the Haiyantang Water Law. Moreover, this time it was Qianlong himself who came up with the problem, and he used the 12 zodiac signs used by the Han people in Chinese civilization to make the water method, which not only represents the 12 hours, but also represents the Manchu and Han families! Not to mention that Emperor Qianlong still has this kind of imperial mind!

With the prescribed topic, there will be no mistakes, at least in the general political direction, Xun Shining is worthy of being an artist, a scientist (the Chinese lunar calendar Xun Shining gave a lot of help, after his correction and recalculation to have today's lunar calendar), sure enough, he made twelve lifelike twelve zodiac animal heads, Zheng Xudong has seen the pictures of the Palace Museum kept in his father's hands, the twelve animal heads, especially the eyes, have been specially treated, as if they are living animals, and the eyes are very smart. Qianlong was finally satisfied. Then Xun Shining designed a mechanism, so that the twelve beast heads erupted once every hour (two hours) by the action of that hour, for example, the rat beast sprayed water when it was a child, and the cow sprayed water when it was ugly, and so on. The only difference was that by noon, at noon, the twelve heads of the beasts began to spray water together. And when the twelve beast heads spray water, there is a small water altar in the middle, and the twelve water columns are all sprayed into this water altar exactly, according to the "Qing History" record, the sound of water is like a waterfall, and it can be heard several miles away.

The next history is miserable, in 1860, the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, and smashed the twelve beast heads with a sledgehammer before the burning, so the position of the beast head neck that you can see today is actually "hairy", and it is not neat. It's because the people who grabbed things at that time were heavier, and they weren't their own things anyway, and the eight countries grabbed them together, and if you started slowly, others would rob you a lot!

France grabbed the most of the twelve beast heads, followed by the United Kingdom, and finally the United States, which is also the most animal heads found in these three countries in the later period.

On April 26, 2013, the French Pinault family announced in BJ that they would donate to China the bronze rat heads and rabbit heads of the 12 major water methods of the Old Summer Palace that had been lost overseas free of charge. The rat head and rabbit head donated by the Pinault family are two of the 12 bronze statues of the zodiac that were lost in BJ's Old Summer Palace. By the end of 2013, 8 of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the 12 major water laws of the Old Summer Palace have returned to China, of which the dragon head is currently well preserved in Taiwan, but the head of the snake, the head of the chicken, the head of the dog, and the head of the sheep are still missing.
