Chapter 434: The British Museum

>

In order to make it more convenient for everyone, Vidoo deliberately vacated a building for these people from China to live in.

In fact, these are all made for Hong Tianbao to see, and Hong Tianbao naturally knows that others are even more tacit, if it weren't for Hong Tianbao, they wouldn't even be able to enter this gate, let alone take back all the 100,000 treasures.

"Rest early, there's news from the British Museum, let's go tomorrow. Because there are many cultural relics inside, it is a little difficult to let them all out at once, so it is ready to be returned in three batches, one-third of each batch. Tomorrow everyone will go over, and we will pick a third of them to go back. Don't worry, this matter has already been passed by the state, and it will definitely be returned in full. Vidoo said.

When Yan Lao and the others heard this, they became even more excited, and nodded again and again. Director Ding even immediately notified Kong Lao in the country, asking for an additional group of men to come over immediately. Now here in the Weir family alone, there is still a busy day, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.

"Hmmm! Sending additional people over is necessary, and now I've helped contact several families who are interested in returning the artifacts. Let me let you know when I have time to check it out. Although their family is not as much as mine, they will definitely not add up to less than mine. "Vidoo has once again broken out with exciting news.

This time, Yan Lao couldn't calm down, snatched Director Ding's phone, and said to Kong Lao: "Kong Lao, let Lao Xu and Lao Li immediately bring more people over, and speed up." ”

There's no such thing as a free lunch! This is the famous saying that they first came out of the West. Hong Tianbao naturally understood. The other families must also want the elixir in his hand. However, he didn't care much about it, he really didn't lack the elixir now. Just throw a few and you'll be able to send them away.

Director Ding also immediately notified the major museums in China to share these national treasures together when the time comes. Although he would love to include it all in the Palace Museum. But the number of these treasures reached three or four hundred thousand, and it was not something that their Palace Museum could completely swallow. If he really swallows it all, he will become a public enemy by then.

The next day, three heavyweight international news pieces captured the world's attention.

First, India was attacked yesterday by an unknown attack, which resulted in heavy losses. The damage to the submarine is unclear, with the loss of four maritime surveillance vessels and three by modern warships. At the same time, a large area was destroyed.

Second, Kori has received a fierce attack from India, and so far, a secret military base on Kori Island has been destroyed. Xiao Ri was shocked and angry by India's provocative behavior and prepared to start a war with India.

From here, everyone has already guessed a few. Yesterday's unknown attack on India must have been the work of Xiao Ri. However, Xiao Ri has repeatedly reiterated to the world that he has never done anything that endangers world peace or world stability, the incident in India. It has nothing to do with them.

These words made people all over the world scoff, as the country that provoked the Second World War, you Xiaori once committed heinous crimes, and you still promised to be so loud. Haven't you done anything that jeopardizes world peace or harms world stability? Three-year-old children don't believe this, isn't it fooling the people of the world and insulting the intelligence of the world?

The Indian side, on the other hand, has bluntly exposed Xiao Ri's various crimes, which can be described as full of evil deeds. Moreover, when will a thief say that he stole something?

Third, the British Museum plans to return the Chinese cultural relics in its collection to China in three batches this year.

Naturally, this news also caused a great shock, won the favor of the world, and was approved by many people in the world. Needless to say, the biggest beneficiary of this is them. The vast majority of Britons also agreed, because they were burdened with too much infamy because of these artifacts. Now it's easier to return it. …,

Of course, there must be some scum who strongly oppose this kind of behavior, believing that it is already their common property of Britain, and now the museum has not consulted everyone, and has rushed to return it, which is very disrespectful to them. These people even formed a procession and began to march through the streets. But all of them were arrested, charged with disturbing public order, and prepared to squat in the bureau for a while.

In China, Xu Lao and Li Lao have already arrived with people, and there are hundreds of people who came over this time. All of them were arranged by Vidoo to the Ville family first, and after a while, some of them were separated to the British Museum.

All Chinese who go to Britain, whether it is traveling, visiting relatives, lecturing or studying, regard the British Museum as a must-visit place. When you enter the British Museum, you should first go to the Huaguo Exhibition Hall to take a look at the national treasures and cultural relics of your own country, so as to meet the sneak peek. As one of the first museums in the world to be open to the public free of charge, the British Museum is the world's largest comprehensive museum, and is one of the world's top three museums, along with the Metropolitan Museum of America and the Louvre Museum in France.

The Duke of Vidoo took everyone through Oxford Street, Britain's most attractive shopping area, to the British Museum.

Over the course of more than 250 years, the British Museum has built up a vast collection of more than six million pieces. The collection covers a wide range of subjects, including prints, drawings, badges, coins, manuscripts, reliefs, books, bronzes, stone tools, ceramics, etc., from all over the world.

For the convenience of exhibition, the British Museum has set up the Department of Ancient Egypt, Ancient West Asia, Ancient Greece and Rome, Oriental Department, Printmaking and Sketching Department, Ethnography Department, Currency and Medal Department, and Lighting Department, which are divided into categories for storage, management and research.

It is a very magnificent building, with delicate sculptures above the main entrance courtyard, the stout stone pillars under the porch are spectacular, the courtyard is not large, and there is a green space where many people sit or lie on the ground and play with pigeons around them. Walking into the lobby, there is a small bookstall, and you can see the picture album of the British Museum in Chinese traditional.

At this time, the owner of the British Museum has come out to greet everyone. In fact, to be more accurate, it was to welcome Duke Vidoo, for the people of the Chinese Kingdom who came later, he really didn't want to face it, and he was most afraid of seeing these people in the Chinese cultural relics world, afraid that these people would ask for treasures. But now, the time to come is still coming, and he had long expected that one day would come.

Seeing Curator Abner's dodging eyes, Curator Ding didn't mention how happy he was, he often wanted to discuss with this old guy before, but he didn't have a wishful trip.

"Haha! Curator Abner, it's been a long time since we've seen each other! ”

Director Abner smiled bitterly and said secretly: It's better if we don't see each other in the future, and if we see each other once, I will lose once. But for the sake of Duke Vidoo's face, he still greeted everyone politely. Afterwards, he led everyone to take a tour. Knowing that these people were coming for the Chinese cultural relics, they went straight to the Huaguo exhibition area on the second floor.

The Huaguo exhibition hall is very large, there are many rare treasures on display inside, and when you enter it, you can look at these cultural relics and national treasures with Chinese characteristics, and you feel like you have arrived at the Forbidden City Museum in Huaguo. Most of the people who come here are Chinese, after all, these treasures with deep connotations are not something that some superficial Westerners can appreciate.

At this time, there are also many Chinese people, or overseas Chinese, who are watching. When they saw Yan Lao and others, some people recognized these domestic antiques.

"I heard that these cultural relics are going to return to China, is it true?" An old man stepped forward and asked. …,

Looking at this old man who was older than himself, Yan Lao hurriedly supported him, nodded and smiled: "Yes!" They've been out for so long, it's time to go back. ”

At this time, many people gathered around. Except for Director Abner, whose face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd face, everyone else had a smile of joy on their faces.

"Hmmm! Well! It's time to go back. It's time for me to go back, too. As the old man spoke, his old eyes began to turn red, and finally he remembered that he was also a dying person, and the fallen leaves returned to his roots, this was his wish, and the national treasure went back, and he should go back.

In the middle of the exhibition hall, a group of large-scale Tang Sancai is placed side by side, it is said that there is no such large-scale combination in China at present, which makes Hong Tianbao take a few more looks.

Tang Sancai and painted many people may not be able to distinguish clearly, the color of the painting is very uniform, and the biggest feature of Tang Sancai is that there is a drop glaze, which is the easiest way to distinguish.

In the innermost part of the exhibition hall and in front of the foyer facing the wall, there are several lifelike and lifelike large figure statues, they are all very famous cultural relics, and the big-bellied Buddha smiled so naturally and lovely.

Looking at Director Abner, who was sullen all the way, Hong Tianbao smiled and said, "Director Abner, don't have a bitter face, right?" Huaguo has always paid attention to courtesy and exchanges. Although these treasures were originally Huaguo ......"

Before Hong Tianbao finished speaking, Director Abner corrected: "A lot of it may have been obtained from that period of history, but a considerable part of it was exchanged by us later, or invited back with real money." ”

Hong Tianbao touched his nose, and then said: "Then it's as you said!" We won't let you return it for nothing. I have some works by Rousseau, Millet, Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh, Tintoretto, etc., I wonder if Director Abner is interested? ”

The more Hong Tianbao said, the more Director Abner's breathing became heavier, and finally he shouted excitedly: "Interested! Interested! Look at this...... It's ......," Abner rubbed his hands together.

Tang Xin was surprised: "When did you get those things?" How did I not know? ”

Hong Tianbao shrugged his shoulders: "I found it in Japan last time, Director Abner, I didn't bring it with me now, you have to wait." ”

"No problem, no problem!" Director Abner hurriedly said, I didn't expect such a surprise, and the depression just now disappeared. In their West, Chinese cultural relics are actually not very popular, what they really like is the works of their Western masters, listening to Hong Tianbao's tone, it seems that there are a lot, how not to make him happy?

"Let's go! Take everyone for a walk. "This time, this old guy is much more cheerful.
