Dong Qingshan smiled and nodded, "That's basically the case." ”

So, Dong Qingshan mentioned two adult events to everyone. Dong Tianyue also listened to his grandfather for the first time for these two things, and he listened very carefully.

It is not uncommon for collectors to donate their collections to the country, for example, Zhang Boju, one of the "Four Sons of the Republic of China" during the Republic of China, is a typical representative. Although Zhang Boju is not as famous as Zhang Xueliang, the head of the four sons, he is a literary and artistic genius. Zhang Boju is not only erudite and talented, but also a top connoisseur and collector.

In 1956, the Palace Museum received an extremely precious gift: the famous collector Zhang Boju and his wife Pan Su donated eight pieces of calligraphy that they had collected over the past 30 years, including Lu Ji's "Pingfu Post", Du Mu's "Zhang Haohao's Poems", Fan Zhongyan's "Praise of Taoist Costumes" and Huang Tingjian's "Cursive Script".

Back then, Dong Qingshan had just been born and practiced, and after hearing about this, he was shocked and didn't sleep well for a few nights, what a realm it was! He knew the value of those paintings and calligraphy, and each of them was a national treasure. For example, "Pingfu Post", if it is taken out for auction, it will be priceless! The most important thing is not the question of money, but the reluctance of collectors.

Back then, Zhang Boju was almost killed in order to protect "Pingfu Post". Ding Xueshan, a puppet spy of Wang, kidnapped Zhang Boju in the spring of 1941 and offered a ransom of 200 gold bars. Such a sky-high price is intended to force the Zhang family to sell the treasure of Zhenzhai "Pingfu Post". Zhang Boju would rather die than obey and went on a hunger strike in protest.

Pan Su, who is eager to save people's hearts, does not have the usual female flow at all at this time. She did not hesitate and categorically refused to betray "Pingfu Post", not because she did not cherish her husband's surname, but because she said solemnly: "My husband is now in the hands of the kidnappers, and his life and death are uncertain, and I am worried." However, I will not sell "Pingfu Post" to save my husband, no one knows Boju better than me, in his eyes, "Pingfu Post" is as important as life, if he sells this post, unfortunately and loses abroad, even if he is saved, his heart will be like a withered heart, although life is still death. I can't take away the pillars of his life, and neither can Boju. The husband's surname is as inseparable as the "Pingfu Post". If I really can't save my husband, I accept my fate, at most I will meet him under the nine springs, and I will still be a loving couple in the next life! ”

After Dong Qingshan heard about this past at that time, he was moved to tears. He was thinking, the real collector should be like Zhang Boju and his wife! It was also the first time he realized what it means to be a true collector! This incident also gave him the idea that he would inevitably give an explanation before he died.

Since then, another person has touched Dong Qingshan, and that is Zhao Tailai, a British-Chinese Chinese.

In 1991, Zhao Tailai donated a total of 853 pieces of various cultural relics to the Yancheng Museum in Jiangsu Province twice, and donated 32 pieces of calligraphy and painting works of famous Qing Dynasty masters to the Chinese History Museum, including the bamboo slips of Qianlong's handwritten imperial book "The Art of War", the painting scroll of "Hundred Beauty Pictures" painted by Wen Zhengming in the Ming Dynasty, and the chrysanthemum stone from the Old Summer Palace and other national treasures.

Later, Zhao Tailai donated more than 10,000 pieces of collection to the Guangzhou Art Museum, of which nearly 1,000 pieces are national first-class and second-class cultural relics.

Although some collectors suspect that there are fakes in the collection donated by Zhao Tailai, there is no evidence. Then again, even if there are a few high imitations of the Republic of China or the late Qing in the more than 10,000 pieces of the collection donated by Zhao Tailai, it will not prevent people from admiring his noble spirit and collection realm!

What is the ultimate meaning of collecting? Dong Qingshan kept asking himself, and then he finally understood, it was for inheritance! In his later years, the more Dong Qingshan wanted to be the second Zhang Boju, but he couldn't and didn't dare. This is also the reason why Dong Qingshan didn't accept the treasure chest.

Doesn't Dong Qingshan like brocade box collections very much, why doesn't he accept this treasure chest? In addition to the fact that this treasure chest is very precious and special, there are two other reasons.

First, he will inevitably give "Wing Chun Internal Strength Method" to his third brother Liang Hua, and he will sell Gao Yide a favor to him; Second, the "Xuanhe Secret Record" is too precious, and giving it to the country can make up for the vacancy of the Palace Museum, but Dong Qingshan can't come forward, so he can only let the apprentice come forward.

After listening to the story, Gao Yide and Dong Tianyue were very taught. Dong Tianyue thought about it, and Gao Yide sighed: "It turns out that this is the highest level of collection!" Yide sighs to himself! If it weren't for the master's enlightenment, I wouldn't have thought of donating the "Xuanhe Secret Record" to the country. ”

"Yide, "Wing Chun Internal Strength Heart Method" I will make an initiative to give to the third brother, I don't care what you do with this brocade box and "Xuanhe Secret Record", whether you donate it to the country or not is your business." Dong Qingshan Road. He didn't want Gao Yide to force him to do this because he thought he was a master

"Donate, why don't you don't donate!" Gao Yide said: "This thing was originally given to the master, if you say donate, then donate, and donate it in my name, why not?" ”

"Good!" Dong Qingshan nodded with some relief: "You don't have to be anxious, otherwise you will regret it in the future and blame me, an old man." After you go back, you will discuss it with Ling Feng. ”

"Yes, master!" Gao Yide said. But don't you think that the master likes this puzzle treasure chest very much, and that one is also donated to the country?

"Master, will you leave the treasure chest?" Gao Yide asked.

"Let's donate it together, this level of organ puzzle treasure chest, the Forbidden City doesn't seem to have it, and there are mahogany brocade boxes, but they are not as good as this." Dong Qingshan Road.

As soon as the old man's words came out, Dong Tianyue panicked, what if this box was donated to the country, what if the treasure on the second layer inside? Depending on the situation, grandpa doesn't know that there is a second layer in this box!

Just as Gao Yide was about to speak, Dong Tianyue preemptively said: "Grandpa, I am very fascinated by this puzzle, can I borrow it for a few days before deciding when to donate it to the country?" ”

Gao Yide smiled: "What's so difficult? As long as the master is willing, he can give it to the little junior brother! ”

Dong Qingshan glanced at Dong Tianyue deeply, and his hair was straight, could it be that grandpa saw what clues?

"Yue'er, you tell me the truth, do you want to play for a few days, or do you want your senior brother to give it to you? I can say it, even if I agree with your senior brother to give it to you, this box can't be counted as your year-end assessment! Old Man Dong said.

Dong Tianyue had a false alarm, but he didn't expect that grandpa was thinking about handing over antiques at the end of the year, isn't it the same thing.

"Haha, of course not. Grandpa, this is a promise? Dong Tianyue was overjoyed.

"I don't have any opinion, you ask your senior brother. Moreover, I can remind you that even if your senior brother agrees to give it to you, this thing will not be sold, and sooner or later it will have to be given to the state for treasure, so that this kind of puzzle technology can be inherited! Dong Qingshan said.

"Yes, Grandpa! Senior brother, grandpa agreed! Dong Tianyue smiled at Gao Yide.

"Since the master has agreed, what other opinion can I have? Give, put it away! Gao Yide handed over the treasure chest and smiled.

After identifying the treasure chest, it was almost one o'clock, and everyone was hungry. Gao Lingfeng invited everyone to his "Lingfeng Restaurant" for a meal. While drinking, Gao Yide answered a phone call, it was Gui Yumeng from the calligraphy and painting department, saying that Mu Xiyan came back from the United States two days later, and she could ask her to appraise the painting.

"Yumeng, the girl has already told me about this. Do you want to ask the list of people who participated in the appraisal of the calligraphy and painting group? It's up to you, but there is one person who has to participate in an exceptional way, although the level is not enough. Gao Yide continued on the phone.

"Who? Could it be the new Dong Tianyue? Gui Yumeng asked guessingly.

"Yes, I specially approved it, if anyone has an opinion, come to me directly!" Gao Yide said solemnly.

Two days later, the Eddie auction house will appraise an important painting. Because this painting is very valuable, the people who come to participate in the appraisal are all experienced appraisers from the Yide Auction House, and Dong Tianyue is not qualified to participate. However, who knew that such a new rookie, a rookie who didn't even have an appraiser certificate, actually made a splash that day?;
