Chapter 156: Buy an Castle!

"How? Plus that's worth it, right? ”

Tom was proud, he specially found someone to see the collection, the others are not valuable, but this is very meaningful to the Chinese, after all, the forty scenes are in the museum, and the copper engravings in their hands are considered treasures.

"Three million pounds!"

Wu Tianyuan didn't talk nonsense, and quoted the highest price, this batch of collections is worth more than 20 million at most, mainly because the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace are a little precious.

Under Wu Tianyuan's tough attitude, the last three million pounds were sold, and the collection was sent to Jenny first, and then brought back to China at one time.

Tom no longer had the old mountain residence in his hand, and it had lost its value, Wu Tianyuan did not stop, and rushed directly to the next location, Fort Finn, Lincolnshire.

"Dear Chinese boss, recently many Chinese have come to invest in the UK, and the first choice is to buy an ancient castle!" You can see that the area here is huge, with gardens and fountains, absolutely magnificent. ”

An ancient castle agent gushed about the former residence of Finn, the chief of staff of the British army, and he had seen many local tycoon Chinese, so he liked to buy ancient castles, and he was magnificent and face-saving.

Wu Tianyuan didn't speak, this place is very dilapidated, no one has lived in it for at least twenty or thirty years, and there are many old castles in the British countryside, at least thousand. Except for the famous families, they are basically abandoned, and it takes a huge amount of money and manpower to maintain an ancient castle, and the descendants cannot afford to inherit it, so they can only sell it.

Wu Tianyuan took a good turn, found the clues he needed, and began to negotiate the price. From the original three million pounds to two million, and finally the transaction was directly sold.

"Hey, I'm kind of a guy who owns castles in England!"

Wu Tianyuan finished the formalities and sighed: "But it will take a lot of money to redecorate, plus manpower and material resources, forget it, I will talk about it when I have time in the future." ”

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly ran to a bedroom on the second floor, found the mechanism at the head of the bed, and opened the secret room that had been sealed for many years.

"Qianlong's sixteen jade ruyi!"

The secret room is full of dust, and only after cleaning up does it start to count the loot, the first one is a set of jade Ruyi.

In April 2013, at the Spring Auction of Baoli Hong Kong, a group of Qianlong jade Ruyi attracted the attention of countless collectors. The array of exquisite jade Ruyi is perfect in terms of material and craftsmanship. Perfect jade Ruyi, are the "anti-Xi Zhai" boutique collection.

They are the treasures of Qiu Yanzhi, a great collector of the Republic of China, and the grandfather of Qiu Guofu, who is now the head of Sufubi!

"Last time, Qiu Yanzhicai auctioned five pieces of jade Ruyi, and here are sixteen pieces of imperial boutiques, which must be from the Old Summer Palace and collected them."

Wu Tianyuan first wrapped the jade Ruyi, and then found five Kang Yongqian's palace clocks, which were too old and damaged by dust, so he had to find someone to repair them when he went back.

"This is the June Lotus Cup!"

"And Xu Wei's grape picture!"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly picked up the June Cup, counting that there were already ten Kangxi Colorful Blue and White Flower God Cups in his hand, only August and September.

"Are you a gilded pagoda?"

Wu Tianyuan finished sorting out the collections on the shelves, and finally noticed that the two big guys in the corner of the wall turned out to be the two gilded pagodas of the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Old Summer Palace.

"There are three pairs of us, and one pair is in the Taihe Palace, it seems that they were also snatched by bandits, and now they are missing."

Wu Tianyuan nodded, that pair is in the hall of the Chinese Pavilion in Fontainebleau, France, and there will be a chance to get it back in the future.

"Don't forget us, Qianlong Imperial Golden Chime!"

Just when Wu Tianyuan thought there was none, a few voices suddenly came from an inconspicuous box, and he was very surprised when he opened it.

"You are not Qianlong's "Golden Chime", a total of 16! Is there a set in the Forbidden City? ”

Wu Tianyuan carefully took out eight golden bells, looking at the shape of the office, it is definitely the craftsmanship of the palace office, but the Qianlong golden bell should be in the Forbidden City, and there is another set here?

"That set is a ritual vessel used to worship the heavens, and it can only be used in the grand ceremony of the country. Our sixteen brothers are musical instruments, one size younger than them, and they are usually in the Guiyue Palace in the Old Summer Palace, so that the emperor can listen to music. ”

Wu Tianyuan was excited, there were two sets of Qianlong imperial gold bells, he had visited the Forbidden City, and he was full of domineering. I didn't expect to get another set!

Now there are several heavy weapons in his hand, in addition to the two Forbidden City, only the Tianyuan Museum has it, such as the Shiqu Treasure and the Yongle Plum Vase. This set of golden chimes is definitely one of the important representatives of the Old Summer Palace, second only to the Forty Scenic Pictures.

There are also some small ornaments, all of which were collected in the Old Summer Palace, which were snatched by Finn, sorted and packed and sent to London, and sent back to China along with Jenny's.

"I still have my brother stolen, go save it!"

Xu Wei's grape picture shouted, Wu Tianyuan hurriedly asked, it turned out that just a few days ago, a thief ran to the study and stole another Xu Wei's flower and bird album and Zhang Ruitu's Yongzhu Fu, and he could still sense the location.

Wu Tianyuan first took the treasure back to the secret room, and hurriedly went to find the lost treasure, but came to a small auction house and was sold here.

"Sure enough, it's Xu Wei's eight albums of flowers and birds, tens of millions of heavy weapons!"

"There is also a more precious Yongzhu Fu of Ming Zhang Ruitu, which is rare to see in a hundred years!"

Xu Wei is the founder of China's "Splash Ink Freehand Painting School" and the originator of the "Qingteng Painting School". He has written a large number of poems and essays, and is known as "a talented person of the Ming generation."

Zhang Ruitu is famous for his calligraphy, calligraphy is strange, steep and sharp, the gesture is vivid, the posture is strange, Zhong Xuan, Wang Xizhi outside another way, one of the four major calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty. It is as famous as Dong Qichang, Xing Dong and Mi Wanzhong, and has the name of "South Zhang and North Dong"; He is also good at landscape painting, imitating Huang Gongwang in the Yuan Dynasty, vigorous and energetic, and his works are extremely rare.

Wu Tianyuan found two treasures before he put his mind at ease, this auction house called Chris is very small, it should be a local just opened, there are no customers, these lots can be sold directly.

"Xu Wei's price tag is five thousand pounds, and Zhang Ruitu's is only three thousand?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the price below and was surprised, it seems that this is interlaced like a mountain, and Westerners can't understand Chinese calligraphy and painting. Such a heavy weapon is only sold for tens of thousands of dollars here? It seems that in the future, the British auction house will have a lot to do to pick up the leak!

"Sir, these are the two lots you bought, and we have some Chinese collections in the warehouse, are you interested?"

Wu Tianyuan heard it? I followed the manager to the small storeroom and saw a handscroll and a large box of letters.

He took a brief look, packed it all with 20,000 pounds, and when he left the auction house, he shouted excitedly: "Tang Bohu's Xishan Thatched Cottage handscroll is only 10,000 pounds!" ”

It turned out that as soon as he got his hands on it, he knew that it was Tang Bohu's real handwork, and it was the rarest handscroll, Xishan Thatched Cottage, this time he picked up a big leak!

"You are the evidence of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China! Who are they? ”

Wu Tianyuan strictly sorted out a large box of materials, including letters, telegrams, battle maps, etc., and all kinds of words.

"I am a telegram from Yamamura of Japan to the Emperor!"

"I'm a letter from British Private Scott!"

"Russian Slavic war report!"

"German battle map!"

Wu Tianyuan saw that the Eight-Nation Alliance had gathered! Keep it and exhibit it with the Old Summer Palace together!
