readx;??? Yan Ju looked at it carefully for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Alas, compared with this one, the Song Dynasty facsimile in the Forbidden City's collection is not of the highest quality, whether it is the penmanship or the sè color. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I was extremely depressed when I thought that it had been Emperor Qianlong's desk favorite. You say, old Augustus was also one of the big leaders of the coalition back then, why didn't he win that captain Ji Yong? If he had worked harder, maybe this thing would have been ours by now! ”

This passage was said in Huaxia, Stephen listened inexplicably, but Wu Di smiled:

"Hehe, this time you can take a ghost drawing talisman and exchange more than 3,000 precious cultural relics from Augustus, which is already a great creation, and you are still not satisfied?"

"Contentment, how do you make me content? That old guy obviously has more than 100,000 pieces, and he gave us more than 3,000 pieces even with the exchange belt, of which there are less than 300 Jing products! You must know that although there are only more than 20,000 pieces in the British Museum, all of them are treasures! ”

Wu Di ignored him and turned to look at a landscape painting on the wall. This is Tang Yin's "Xishan Thatched Cottage Handscroll" in the Ming Dynasty.

This painting depicts the landscape scenery in the twilight hazy, with the rolling green hills on the riverbank, from which you can see a little bit of the artistic conception of the lonely bank and the high altitude in the "Picture of Sending Friends to the Cold River". The painting has an inscription written by Tang Yin himself, as well as an inscription by Qianlong in 1751 AD. Underneath the landscape painting is another 11 passages left by later collectors and connoisseurs, but unfortunately, it is now in the collection of the British Empire!

Yan Ju was looking at a colorful work, "Flower Basket". This painting is a printed matter, the age should be between Yongzheng and Qianlong, its drawing is vivid, the color is realistic, almost the same as the modern print.

"This is your Yuan Dynasty painter Xie Chufang's 1321 painting "Qiankun Sheng's Intent", the picture scroll is 8360 mm long, and it is one of the 10 most precious Chinese cultural relics in our collection."

Seeing Wu Di turn around, Stephen pointed to a long scroll placed in a glass box that occupied an entire half of the wall, and said proudly.

Wu Di knows that this painting is one of the few ancient Chinese cultural relics with an innocent origin in the British Museum. The signature and date of "W. Butler 1797" on the cover of the scroll indicate that the painting appeared in England at the end of the 18th century, probably as a result of frequent commercial activities in the coastal areas of Guangdong Province in China.

Modern people know almost nothing about Xie Chufang's life, and this famous painting, which focuses on the predation of animals and insects, is not a superior work in terms of brushwork. But antiques are like that, the earlier the era, the more collectible they are. If this painting appears in the Palace Museum, even if its status is not as high as the top ten here, it should be regarded as much.

The bronze bell of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the cloisonne porcelain altar of the Xuande period, the Daweide vase of the Yuan Dynasty, the group of statues of Tang tomb sculptures, the bronze mirror of Tang mother-of-pearl intarsia, dozens of pieces of dragon pattern glass of the Qing Dynasty, and the jade cong carved with human face patterns in the Neolithic period......

Precious cultural relics flowed in front of Wu Di and Yan Ju's eyes, silently telling the long and glorious history of China, and reminding the two of them all the time that the humiliating history engraved in the hearts of every Chinese people......

"Let's go, the road to collection is endless, the road is long and long, I will go up and down and seek! I decided that I would have the opportunity to sweep all the antique markets in Europe, pick up all the big and small leaks that I could pick up, and then exchange the things left by these ancestors for him one by one! ”

London is home to many well-known galleries with countless masterpieces on display. But that wasn't Wu Di's goal. He was looking for a place where he could take advantage of it. And to find these places, you need the help of the locals. Oviedo, the driver sent to them by Augustus, was the best helper.

After Oviedo sent Wu Di to the museum yesterday, he accompanied the military advisor and them to book a hotel, and he has been waiting in the hotel, and the task he received is to be a tour guide for Wu Di and them.

It was a back alley, and Oviedo parked his car at the entrance of the alley and led Wu Di and them into a villa.

"This is Mr. Baker's home, and it's also a well-known private gallery, where young London painters are willing to send their works for sale, because famous collectors like Cole and Skeeja come here from time to time, and if their paintings can be seen by these people, they may become famous in one fell swoop. The Baron used to come here often, but there have been fewer of them in recent years. ”

After entering the courtyard, Wu Di found that this villa was unexpectedly large, looking at the continuous buildings, I am afraid that there is only this one family in the entire alley!

As soon as Oviedo entered the hall, he was instantly recognized. A chubby old man with a glass of wine rushed up from a corner with agility that did not suit his size, and hugged him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, old man! Why, didn't Lord Baron come? ”

Oviedo shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Wu Di:

"You see, old Baker is this virtue, and he never hides his shamelessness every time, and I say, can't you really welcome me once?"

Beck's fat face was full of smiles,

"Old man, do we need to be so hypocritical between us? These are friends from the East, right? Hehe, I happen to have a few ink landscapes by Chinese painters here, I guess you will like it. ”

After giving a brief introduction to both sides, Oviedo smiled:

"Most people only know that there are 7 exhibition halls here, but I know that Old Baker also has a secret exhibition room, which is full of Jing products, Mr. Wu, you see?"

"Thanks, Mr. Oviedo, let's take a casual look first, and I'll look for you if needed."

Baker pulled Oviedo with a smile and said to Wu Di:

"Young man, take your time, if there is anything to shout Old Baker, I will definitely appear in front of you as soon as possible. Now, Oviedo, go with me for a drink, and don't disturb my honored guests here. ”

"Drink early in the morning, oh God, why don't you send this drunkard to heaven?"

Seeing the two of them hugging and arguing and walking crookedly towards the hall, Yan Ju smiled:

"You say, this guy won't be like those black tour guides in China, fooling us into shopping, right?"

Wu Di glanced at the works on the wall and said with a wry smile:

"Judging from the current situation, it is possible that this place is not small, but these paintings are not up to standard......

The first exhibition hall is not very interesting, and it can be seen from the signatures and RI issues that they are all works of some nobodies in the past two years. These works have a common characteristic, that is, a certain part of the picture is well handled, but when viewed as a whole, it is not very good.

The second exhibition hall is a collection of paintings from a relatively old age, but none of them are masterpieces. There are also a lot of old works mixed in. Wu Di looked at them one by one, and found no leaks to pick up, but the quality of the works allowed him to overturn the judgment that this might be a tourist store.

The third exhibition hall is full of imitations of some famous works, such as "Mona Lisa", "Female Fortune Teller", "Unknown Girl" and other world-famous oil paintings can be seen here, and many of them have reached the level of Jing products.

"Do you know this painting?"

Yan Ju asked, pointing to an impressionist work on the wall.

"Van Gogh's Poppies?"

Yan Ju smiled bitterly:

"It's really hard for you kid, but do you know the story behind it?"

"The story? Isn't this painting always in a museum in Cairo, Egypt? What story can there be? ”

"Haha, there's finally something you don't know, and it's not in vain that I've been working hard to make up my homework these days! Listen, the fate of this painting is very tortuous! ”

"Fate? You mean it was lost in 1978? It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to go to Cairo to see it, otherwise I would know if the museum is authentic. ”

Yan Ju rolled his eyes at him and said dejectedly:

"Are you a human being, how do you even know this?"

"Well, to put it bluntly, it's very simple, the big Bentou I watched is exactly the same as yours! Hahahaha! ”

Yan Ju's eyes lit up and asked:

"So you might not know the follow-up of the story?"

"Follow-up? Isn't it just the fact that a year after the museum announced the return of oil paintings, an identical painting sold for $43 million in London? These people's methods are so clever that since your museum has confirmed the return of the authenticity, then the paintings I sell have nothing to do with you. nǎinǎi, do you think we should sneak into the British Museum one day and play such a hand? ”

"I don't know if you'll be able to sneak into the museum, but I know there's a good chance everyone will be tricked by that museum."

"Tricked by the museum? What do you mean? ”

"It's not interesting, it's just that someone proves that the painting that came out of London is a copy! The real thing has always been kept in the secret room of that museum! ”

Wu Di gasped,

"You mean to say that the theft of that painting was actually directed and staged by the museum? They create their own opportunities to sell fake paintings for money? ”

"I didn't say that! By the way, you know what happened next? ”

Wu Di shook his head, could it be that the wronged boss who bought the painting dared to kill him and directly smash the museum?

"More than thirty years after the first loss, the painting was lost again......"

"Lost again? I'm stuck, wouldn't it be a year later for another painting to be auctioned? ”

"I don't know, because it's not even a year old, but the museum has already claimed to have recovered the painting......"

Looking at the oil painting on the wall, Wu Di's little eyes purred twice, and said with a smile:

"Do you want this painting? If not, you're welcome! ”

Yan Ju glanced at him speechlessly, people who don't have money really can't afford to be hurt! This painting is a very good imitation, but its price is also very good! An imitation of 120,000 pounds, is it really a stupid hat for Lao Tzu to travel? (To be continued.) )
