Zhang Tianyuan's voice was relatively low when he talked to Lancelot, he didn't want the shopkeeper to hear it, but it is estimated that the shopkeeper didn't know Lancelot either, and this house should have been bought by his grandfather's generation.

"If you don't go in, just sit here and rest, watch TV, drink coffee, read books, and surf the Internet......"

When the shopkeeper took Zhang Tianyuan and the others to a small living room, he said to Liu Mengxun and the others with a smile.

"Snakes, Lancelot, and Mengmeng, you all stay here for now, and I'll go to the vault with the boss. Zhang Tianyuan thought about it, it would definitely be messy if there were more people, and he wouldn't be able to afford to pay for anything if it was broken, but it would be too troublesome to repair.

"I'll go with you. Liu Mengxun was not very worried about Zhang Tianyuan, she was afraid that Zhang Tianyuan would get angry after seeing something, in that case, she could comfort and comfort her on the side.

"Okay, let's go. Zhang Tianyuan didn't refuse, he came out today to accompany Liu Mengxun to go shopping, and it doesn't seem to be a matter to throw Liu Mengxun here, not to mention that Liu Mengxun himself is also interested in antiques, if you go with you, you can also see the excitement.

"It's a state-of-the-art security door, and your vault is safe. ”

The shopkeeper took Liu Mengxun and Zhang Tianyuan through the living room together, came to a small warehouse, and then opened the door of the small warehouse and walked through, only to see a cellar, which had a locked lid on it, and after opening, several people walked down the stairs, and there were electric lights installed inside, which did not affect the line of sight.

When it was about five or six meters underground, a modern security door with a height of two or three meters appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This door is a lot like the one used in banks. A special electronic password was used, and the shopkeeper tossed it for a long time. before the security door was opened.

"No way, there are more good things in it. Don't dare to be careless. The shopkeeper smiled.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled, he really wanted to know what kind of good things this shopkeeper had put in his basement, and it was worth being so cautious.

In fact, after entering the inside, he found that this place is not too big, at least much smaller than the basement of his imperial capital courtyard, but the furnishings inside are very modern, all of which are tempered anti-theft glass, and it can't be knocked out without a special attack. I can't open it either.

Inside it is a very soft fluorescent lamp that reflects everything in the light and most of the things are very well preserved, especially some jewelry.

Zhang Tianyuan noticed that there were very dazzling diamonds, opals and other gems in it, no wonder the shopkeeper was so careful, but he was not interested in these, he was more interested in antiques, these gems can be bought for money. Antiques, however, are hard to find.

There is a very good ventilation equipment installed inside, so the air inside is very fresh, but the vent is still set up with good anti-theft measures, even if someone wants to sneak in through the vent, it is definitely not an easy thing.

"Guests. Most of the things here are selected by our family, and we don't let them in if we are light, so you can take your time. Everything is definitely a boutique, compared to the ones in the store. It's only going to get better!" said the shopkeeper with a smile, very mysteriously.

Hear this. Zhang Tianyuan laughed in his heart, this guy should say this to everyone who comes here, he is a special guest, he didn't buy anything.

"It seems that your family is indeed a good collector, at least the maintenance of cultural relics is very good, although many people like to collect, but they don't know anything about maintenance. Zhang Tianyuan came to the UK once, although he didn't have any other good impressions, but he was very appreciative of the maintenance of antiques by these foreign collectors or antique shop owners.

In many antique shops in China, things are placed on the cabinet, and there is no cover, and they are often covered with dust and are unwilling to wipe it. But the things in the antique shop here are much more protected, everything is placed in a glass cabinet, which is very good for the artefacts, especially those that are prone to rust.

"The guest has won the prize, everyone has done this, come, please trouble the guest to wear these gloves. The shopkeeper said, bringing a pair of dustproof gloves.

This glove can isolate sweat and oil stains on people's hands, and it is naturally much better for the protection of antique cultural toys, and it is not good to touch them directly with your hands.

Although this vault is not large, there are many things, from classical Chinese and Western furniture, to ancient silverware, bronze, porcelain, gold and so on.

In addition, there are many Renaissance oil paintings, but there are many painters whose names Zhang Tianyuan has never even heard of, so it is estimated that they are not very famous.

In China, there are some less famous painters, but their paintings are not cheap, in the collecting circle, their paintings may be more expensive than some famous artists, because only connoisseurs can see that their paintings are good, more ordinary people can't understand them, so they don't know their names very well.

Zhang Tianyuan estimated that the paintings placed here were similar, probably to make it easier for guests to identify the value of the paintings, and there was a price tag under each thing, and the cheapest of these paintings was also millions of pounds.

I have to praise that the owner of this shop is very particular about the placement of these things, what things can make it more attractive, more distinctive, then how to put it, what things and what things can be matched to make the guests feel really shocked, then match together.

These paintings are too expensive, Zhang Tianyuan is not very interested in buying, the key is that he doesn't like it, he buys things, and now he is here for his own interest, most of the Western paintings he is not interested in, you are like Picasso's paintings, not to mention hundreds of millions of pounds, even if someone sells them to him for 10,000 pounds......

Hehe, of course he wants it, but it's not for collecting, but for selling for money, and if there is a value for selling something that is not interested in it, then it's okay, but unfortunately none of these paintings are available. At such a price, it is unlikely that it will appreciate even if it is placed in an auction house. Not to mention selling it to someone else in private, unless there is too much money to spend. Or a local tyrant who really likes this thing so much, otherwise no one will buy it, and it will definitely be smashed in his hands.

In addition to being a collector, Zhang Tianyuan is also a businessman, and he won't be stupid to do such a thing, because it's not cost-effective at all.

He went inside again and found that some of the bronzes in the window were very distinctive, but after careful examination, he shook his head helplessly.

These are bronzes, and they are antiques. However, it is not a Yin Shang bronz, but a bronze made around the end of the Qing Dynasty, the thing is exquisite, and it is worth a little money, but the significance of the collection is not very big, and for Zhang Tianyuan, it is categorically uneye-catching.

There are also some Western gold and silver wares, which are good and good, but the price is still too expensive. Zhang Tianyuan finally gave up after careful consideration, if he wanted gold and silverware, he could simply build it himself, he had a lot of gold. It's just that he doesn't have that kind of local tyrant interest.

It can be admitted that the family of this shopkeeper is definitely a family with a lot of antiques, and most of the things in it are very valuable. But perhaps because of this, it is difficult for things to appreciate in value. If it weren't something that interested Zhang Tianyuan, it wouldn't be able to appreciate. He definitely won't buy it, that's his bad temper.

Everyone has their own personality and temper, and Zhang Tianyuan is naturally no exception.

He is such a person, he has never thought about changing, and he does not plan to change, if he wants to grind off all his edges and corners for life, he may do it, but he doesn't have to run around for life now, so there is nothing wrong with being a real self.

"Husband, look at what that is, it looks like the head of the Terracotta Army!"

"What?!"

After hearing Liu Mengxun's words, Zhang Tianyuan turned his head and looked over in shock, he was very familiar with the Terracotta Warriors, after all, his home was near the Terracotta Warriors, in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses excavation stage, there was no strict management, but he often went there to play, for him, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were also childhood memories.

It's something he's proud of.

That's the pride of his hometown, it's also the pride of China, it's the eighth wonder of the world, but how can you see the head of the terracotta warriors here?

He seems to have heard that the heads of terracotta warriors and horses have been stolen, but it seems that the thief was caught later, could there be other terracotta warriors and horses that have been sold abroad?

He turned his head in shock to look at the terracotta head, which was almost life-like, yes, it really looked very similar to what was in the terracotta army, and it was very likely that it really came out of there.

Although he was wearing gloves, he didn't dare to pick it up with his hands, just looked through the glass window, and then his face showed regret.

Only about two-thirds of the head of this terracotta warrior remains, and a third of it is unknown who has killed it alive, and it seems to have been cut open with a sharp blade.

The head shape of the terracotta warriors and horses is very exquisite, even if it is less than a third, but the expression of this human head is still so vivid, it is really hard to imagine that this thing is actually a terracotta figurine fired in the era of Qin Shi Huang, this firing level is really too superb.

And this should still be the head of a general's figurine.

The general figurines are also called high-ranking military figurines, and they are the highest-ranking figurines known to the pit.

Generals played a pivotal role in the war, so the discovery of general figurines in the Qin Warriors Pit is also only a handful. The biggest difference between the general figurines and the military figurines and the general soldiers is: the general figurines wear a chopsticks crown, the military figurines wear a version of the crown and the cloud long crown, and the general soldiers do not have the above two hats, so they wear a curtain or a bun.

In addition to the above characteristics, the general figurines are also burly and tall, and the upper body wears collar flowers and shoulder flowers.

Of course, you can't see the figure from this head, but you can see it just from the shape of the head.

Zhang Tianyuan once thought when he was a child, fortunately, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were discovered after the founding of the People's Republic of China, if this thing was discovered as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, would it also suffer the same fate as the Old Summer Palace? If such a good thing were destroyed in the hands of foreign devils, it would be a pity.

Looking at the head of this clay figurine that was cut open with a knife, Zhang Tianyuan really felt distressed, not only distressed but also angry, it is estimated that this thing should be made by smugglers and sold abroad, alas. (To be continued......)
