Chapter 158: Family Curse

"Don't worry, I'm at home."

Sun Yuyao helped Wu Tianyuan pack his luggage virtuously, and instructed: "Pay attention to safety and go home as much as possible." ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and felt more at home in his heart, waiting for his parents to retire and live together and enjoy the joy of family.

"You're a guest from China?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the septuagenarian in front of him, he was the descendant of James, the chief of the dragon knight guard of the British army of the Eight-Nation Alliance, George.

"Yes, I am the director of a private museum, and this time I came to visit the lost cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, you are a descendant of James, and the price can be discussed."

The old man suddenly became excited, grabbed Wu Tianyuan's hand tightly, and said tremblingly: "Finally waiting for you!" This is God giving me a chance for redemption! ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the old man in confusion and waited curiously.

"Hey, the burning of the Old Summer Palace shocked the world, my grandfather became a soldier and participated in the war, killing many innocent civilians. Although he returned home in the end and got a lot of loot, he also left a terrible curse for the entire family!

The old man sighed, telling about the curse that happened to the James family for more than a hundred years, it turned out that his generation was the fifth generation, and each generation, regardless of gender, did not live past the age of sixty, either illness or accident, and could not die well.

"It was so easy to get to me, and finally lived past the age of sixty, I thought the curse was lifted, but I didn't expect that the next year my two sons died in an accident! My lives were bought for theirs! ”

The old man cried loudly, Wu Tianyuan looked at the poor old man, this is retribution, the ancestors killed people and oversold goods, and the sins of the ancestors should be repaid by future generations.

"I know that this is all God's punishment for the sins of my ancestors, and you have done a lot of good deeds, and you cannot make up for the blood and the killing. I thought I was going to continue the terrible reincarnation, but I met you today! ”

The old man asked the housekeeper to take out three paintings, and Wu Tianyuan was very excited when he saw it.

"Lang Shining Geden Ola Camp Map!"

"Chrysanthemum maze diagram of the Old Summer Palace!"

"Portrait of Qianlong!"

The old man sighed: "This is the last treasure that our family has treasured, I know that they are very precious, and I originally thought that after my death, I would donate them to the Chinese Museum, which can be regarded as some way to make up for a little sin." When I happened to meet you, it must be God's arrangement, you take it! ”

Wu Tianyuan is a little incredible, these three are Lang Shining's genuine works, he hasn't shown up for a hundred years, any one is tens of millions, the old man wants to give it to himself?

Seeing the old man's determined gaze, Wu Tianyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will display them well in the museum, and it can be regarded as helping you fulfill a wish." ”

In the end, Wu Tianyuan returned to the capital with the donations of James's descendants and displayed Lang Shining's precious memories of the Old Summer Palace.

Wu Tianyuan looked at the exhibition hall of the Old Summer Palace, and basically had a skeleton, and he could roughly feel the luxurious and wealthy atmosphere of the year.

Sun Yuyao asked curiously: "The trip to the UK has come to an end?" ”

"All the clues I can find have been done, and there is no other news for the time being, after all, after almost two hundred years, many collections have disappeared into the dust of history, and it is not easy to find these."

"That's right, there have been seven or eight auctions in the Old Summer Palace alone, and the treasures are scattered in the hands of many people, that is, how many collections can you find."

Wu Tianyuan smiled, took out three treasure knives, asked the staff to take pictures, and passed them to Liu Huasheng.

"The next step is the show! Japan's top ten famous knives, we have three here, do you think they will come to talk? ”

Sun Yuyao was excited, and finally had a bargaining chip to blackmail the little devil! When it comes to loot, there are not as many trophies in the world as there are in Japan, so this time they must be made to bleed!

"Where's the sword?"

As soon as the photo was sent, Liu Huasheng rushed to the museum the next day and saw three world-famous knives in a hurry.

"Sure enough, they are! Nichiren Master's Suzumaru Hengji, the pinnacle of Master Minamoto Yorimitsu, the boy Kirian Tsuna, the peerless masterpiece of the Three Castles Sanjo Sect, the Three Days-Moon Sect Near! ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at Liu Huasheng's excited appearance and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, do you need to be so excited?" Isn't it Little Japan's broken knife? ”

Liu Huasheng scolded with a smile: "You kid doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk!" You don't know the place of the katana in the hearts of the Japanese, that is, the national symbol, representing their sacred spiritual totem. I'm happy not because I found a famous knife, but because we have the chips to negotiate with them! ”

"I have contacted the National Museum of Art of Japan through Guò and sent them the photos, and there has been a reply in the past two days. I guess they will definitely come, and try their best to get the three knives back, so you can think of the terms of exchange first! ”

Wu Tianyuan laughed, this time we must make Little Japan bleed, damn, eat ours and spit it out to Lao Tzu!

Liu Huasheng still underestimated the charm of the famous knife, and received news from the National Museum of Art in the afternoon that he was coming to China soon, and Professor Yasuda personally led a team to identify the authenticity of the famous knife.

"This Yasuda is not simple, I have known him for many years, a typical Chinese expert. Professor of History at the University of Tokyo and Honorary Advisor of the National Museum of Art, he has a deep understanding of our culture and is a first-class collector himself, and he comes to China every year to Taobao. ”

Liu Huasheng's face was solemn, and when he heard that Yasuda was coming, things were not easy to do!

"Afraid of what? Now the initiative is in our hands, slaughter them well! ”

Liu Meizi said disdainfully: "It's when they begged us, it's a big deal to open a Japanese exhibition hall, and in the future, my brother will put all the Japanese national treasures he finds in it." They can show the Chinese trophies, but we can't? ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at Liu Meizi with appreciation, worthy of being the person who followed him, and his position was very firm at the critical moment. This time, he is ready to slaughter a knife and let Little Japan know that it is powerful, the big deal is as Liu Meizi said, Tianyuan opened a Japanese hall alone, and it is estimated that it will be more popular.

Early the next morning, Wu Tianyuan received a phone call saying that the Japanese had arrived at the museum and asked him to come over.

"This is Professor Yasuda, this is Wu Tianyuan, the director of the Tianyuan Museum."

Yasuda is in his early fifties, polite and courteous, with gold-rimmed glasses, and has a very scholarly temperament. looked curiously at Wu Tianyuan, who was only in his twenties, and sighed: "It's really a hero since ancient times, and I visited Tianyuanjun's museum just now, which was really eye-opening!" ”

"Professor Yasuda's Chinese is very good, and he deserves to be an expert in China."

Hearing Wu Tianyuan's appreciation, Yasuda said a little proudly: "I don't dare to be, I have been obsessed with Chinese culture for decades, I have come here several times a year, and I have a lot of celebrity calligraphy and paintings in my hand." After the business is over, I have to have a good exchange with Tianyuanju. ”

There were five people in Japan, in addition to Yasuda, there was also an interpreter, three other museum specialists. Everyone walked in together and began to identify the three knives.

Yasuda is not an expert in swords, he led the team this time because he understood the Chinese, to put it bluntly, in order to negotiate conditions and strive for the greatest benefits to Japan.

"Tianyuan-kun, your Sanxi Hall is truly breathtaking! It was an eye-opener! ”

The three experts were in charge of identifying the famous knife, and Yasuda and Wu Tianyuan visited the museum together, especially Sanxitang, which shocked him.

"It's a trivial matter, it's still worse than the Sanxi Hall in the Forbidden City, and the time is still short, and it will be slowly improved in the future."

Wu Tianyuan said politely, this sentence is true, if you give him another two years, the wall will be full of Song and Yuan calligraphy and paintings!

Yasuda looked at Wu Tianyuan in shock, and could feel the strong confidence of this young man from the heart, he had specially studied Wu Tianyuan's information. Since you want to negotiate, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is inevitable, and Wu Tianyuan, who was originally self-made, already had a high opinion of him, but when he saw it today, it seemed that he still greatly underestimated the true level of this kid!

Thank you for reminding me that it was the Tongzhi Emperor who got the flower willow disease, not Guangxu! Poor Guangxu doesn't even know how he died! I hereby apologize and ask for your pardon!
