Chapter 447: A Sensation Across the Country
In the villa, Xia Xiaoyu held a vacuum cleaner in his hand, stood by the window and looked out, with a faint melancholy on his face, and asked, "Brother Tianfeng, what about those people?" There are so many people that the parking lot is going to be turned into a market. ”
"It's okay, they can stay if they want to. Remember, people you don't know don't open the door. We're not a museum here, and you're still there. For example, the night before yesterday, you were all wearing pajamas, and the man had to come in, saying that he had come from thousands of miles away, and he had to watch the "Peace Post", do you think I can let him in? I told him to come during the day the next day, but when he turned around, he contacted Huang Lao, saying that I was ignorant, as if I owed him something, and I immediately told Huang Lao to let him stay away, he was not welcome here. ”
Fang Tianfeng's dissatisfaction stemmed from the night before yesterday. In the past few days, there are women in the family, either Xia Xiaoyu and An Tiantian are resting, or Su Shishi and Shen Xin are spending the weekend, and in the evening, when the family is chatting, Fang Tianfeng often goes out, and it is impossible to let outsiders in, not to mention not one or two, but dozens.
"And yesterday, someone actually stopped Shishi, who had just finished school, and said that he hoped she would bring them in. Shishi has been smart since she was a child, and immediately stepped on the man's foot hard, and then ran back to complain. You say this kind of person, how can I trust them to come in? Fang Tianfeng said.
"They were a little anxious and didn't take us into account." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Fang Tianfeng said: "You haven't heard what the deputy director of the museum said, let me donate it to the country, to be honest, this thing is of little use to me, and one day I feel that it takes up space and is nothing to donate to the country." But the meaning of his words is that this thing is a pearl in my place, as if I am defiling the "Peace Post". Then I asked him, what happened when the people in Hute City donated the cultural relics to the museum, and the things were gone? What happens when someone buys a cultural object that someone else has stolen and then donates it to a museum, only to be suspected of illegal trading? In the seventies and eighties, those second-generation people took the cultural relics in the Forbidden City at will, and now they are boasting on the Internet, but no one catches them, what is going on? What happens when the real thing becomes a fake in a museum? What happened to the broken things in the museum that appeared on the market in one piece after a few years? As a result, he couldn't speak, so he turned around and left. ”
Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Fang Tianfeng with wide eyes, and asked, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was even more ruthless, the eunuchs stole the treasures of the treasury and sold them for money, and they stole too much, and they had to be checked, so the eunuchs who committed the crime set fire to the treasury, and even I, a person who was new to collecting, knew it. Just like the news I saw a few days ago, it was said that the inspection team above went to a certain grain depot to investigate, and the granary immediately caught fire. There are some things that everyone understands, and they are too lazy to say. ”
"These people are so bad!" Xia Xiaoyu was very angry.
Fang Tianfeng didn't expect Xiaoyu to be even more angry than himself, and said: "If they are all calligraphers or collectors, things are simple, but some people have ulterior motives, which is the real reason why I don't let them in." ”
"What ulterior motives?" Xia Xiaoyu was puzzled.
"There are too many people who are tempted by this kind of thing worth hundreds of millions, and cultural relics dealers and businessmen naturally want to intervene." Fang Tianfeng said.
"These people are even worse!" Xia Xiaoyu was filled with righteous indignation, panting with breath, and her chest rose and fell slightly, which was beautiful.
Fang Tianfeng couldn't help but smile, and said: "Don't be angry, just remember to wear a maid outfit recently, don't wear the nurse outfit that Sister Xin bought for you, I estimate that in a few days, they will be able to react and go to Wang Lao and them for help." As long as Wang Lao and the people they know, they can come in, and as for those with ulterior motives, if they dare to come in, I don't mind making a move. ”
"Well, Brother Tianfeng should take good care of antiques." Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking with a red face and continued to clean the living room.
Fang Tianfeng glanced out the window and continued to do his own thing.
The incident of suspected calligraphy is too explosive, which is a major event in the Chinese collection and calligraphy circles, not to mention the only one in the mainland, so many people will come here. Now the time is still short, the spread is not widespread, in a few days, there will be more people to Chang'an Garden.
There are millions of calligraphy and collecting enthusiasts in Huaguo, and even if only a few hundred people come, it will have a great impact on Fang Tianfeng.
Many of the people who came were people who really loved cultural relics and calligraphy, and many of them were old, so Fang Tianfeng really couldn't drive them away. But Fang Tianfeng can't let them in, once some people are allowed to look at it and reject the other part, it will inevitably cause trouble.
In the morning, Fang Tianfeng called Wang Lao to consult, Wang Lao meant to discuss with the Dongjiang Provincial Museum and the cultural relics department, to display this thing for three days, and then take it back after three days, which can not only reduce unnecessary trouble, but also allow more people to see the authentic works of calligraphy, which is a great merit for the calligraphy and collection circles.
Fang Tianfeng was moved when he heard the great merit, so he asked Wang Lao to help contact him, and he did so.
In the afternoon of the same day, Director Kang of the Provincial Museum came to visit with a calligraphy and painting expert and assistant, first apologizing for the deputy director's behavior, and then listening to Fang Tianfeng's opinion.
The curator was very dedicated, did not mention the donation, and was very grateful to Fang Tianfeng for his willingness to put this treasure on display in Dongjiang Province, because even if it was put on display in the Forbidden City, the director of the Palace Museum would warmly welcome it.
The two sides finalized the details, Director Kang also brought the agreement, and after the two sides signed it, Director Kang and the expert began to identify, and then asked the assistant to take pictures of the "Peace Post".
After Director Kang and the experts saw the "Peace Post", they were speechless for a long time, and they didn't assert anything like Wang Lao and the others, but even Xia Xiaoyu, who didn't know how to observe words and feelings, could see that the two of them were very excited.
The expert nodded vigorously to Director Kang, and there was no need to say anything.
After taking pictures, Director Kang and others left the villa and told those people outside that they would be exhibited at the Provincial Museum in two days, and those people dispersed.
Subsequently, Director Kang contacted the media to hold a press conference, saying that there were mysterious and generous collectors who put the authentic work of the book saint Wang Xizhi "Peace Post" in the Provincial Museum for three days, and hoped that people from all walks of life would come. At the press conference, Director Kang not only showed the photos of "Ping An Post", but also pointed out that the paper of this "Ping An Post" is ephedra paper from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which has been identified by experts from the museum.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation in the collection and calligraphy circles, and the major calligraphy or collection forums were boiling. Even if many people do not collect calligraphy and paintings, but collect antiques such as porcelain or jade, they say that they must rush to the Dongjiang Museum to participate in this rare event.
The photograph sparked a lot of controversy and controversy, with most people believing that it surpassed any known facsimile of the book, and even the controversial "Sunny Post in the Snow". But there are also doubts and debates.
In the evening of the same day, the State Bay Office received a call from the Wanbei Palace Museum, which hoped that the mainland would help them, and that they had just set up a cross-strait cultural exchange group composed of experts and scholars, hoping to rush to the Dongjiang Museum before the launch.
The next morning, the news in various places put the incident in an important position, and even the Dongjiang Party Newspaper "Dongjiang Yuebao" published the news, and the vice governor in charge of culture, education, and public health even personally participated in the exhibition that day.
Other newspapers and television stations in Dongjiang have reported on this event, interviewing various experts and digging out the stories behind the "Peace Post" and the life of the book saint Wang Xizhi. Many people found out that the original idioms such as "three points into the wood" and "fast son-in-law in the east bed" are all related to Wang Xizhi.
On the opening day of the exhibition hall, calligraphy collectors from all over the world gathered, and more than 3,000 people were blocked outside, so much so that the museum had to call in the police to maintain order.
On the first day of the exhibition, everyone in the country came to exchange with the experts in the north of the bay, except for a few people who remained skeptical, most of them affirmed that this character is the true handiwork of the calligraphy.
After gaining the approval of experts from all over the world, on the second night of the exhibition of "Peace Post", the news of the authentic work of the sage Wang Xizhi appeared on the most important "Seven O'clock News" in China, although it was only introduced in a few tens of seconds, but it was enough to explain the important surname of this cultural relic.
"Seven Point News" is the mouthpiece of the ruling party, the most watched news program in the country, this news came out, caused an even greater sensation, many huge people who collect calligraphy and paintings expressed their hope to buy this "peace post", the highest asking price has reached 300 million yuan.
As soon as "Seven O'Clock News" finished broadcasting, Director Kang called Fang Tianfeng.
"Master Fang, the Focus Interview Program team called me, and they said that they were very interested in the authentic works of the Shusheng and wanted to come for an interview, what do you think?"
"Focus interviews? Yes, as long as it's not close to science. You can be interviewed, but don't mention me, the main purpose is to promote Chinese culture and calligraphy and the value of this "Peace Post", as for the origin, you say that the mysterious owner of the "Peace Post" once saved an old man, and then the old man was very grateful, and gave me the family heirloom "Peace Post" to spread positive social energy. ”
Director Kang laughed: "You said that on purpose, right?" Saving the old man and then getting antiques is a bad story in the collecting circle, and no one takes it seriously. But since you don't want to come forward, I'll fix it. ”
"That's good." Fang Tianfeng said.
In the end, Director Kang said with some concern: "I heard some rumors, it seems that some people are ready to start on this character, both domestic and foreign, but foreign people can't catch up, they shouldn't start, I'm afraid that domestic people will do it." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, no one can snatch my things!" Fang Tianfeng was full of confidence.
"Okay, we'll definitely step up the security."
At three o'clock in the morning that night, Fang Tianfeng was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone. Fang Tianfeng glanced at the caller number extremely reluctantly, and then answered.
"Hey, what's the matter with Director Kang?"
"Two people came to the museum to steal the Peace Post, but it has been discovered by our people, but the scene is a little strange." Director Kang's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well.
"What scene?" Fang Tianfeng knew it, but he pretended not to know. (To be continued.)
