When the crowd came to the collection room of the grandfather, He Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, the interior was very open, like a specially built collection museum, not a small collection room in the form of a study, at a glance, what caught his eye was a row of relatively tall exhibition cabinets, and there were antiques placed neatly and orderly on the shelves in the cabinets, where is this collection room, it is simply a private museum of considerable scale, but it is not open to the public.
He Qing and Lin Haitao stepped into the "treasure light" collection room, and at that moment, He Qing couldn't help but admire in his heart, which really opened his eyes greatly.
"Brother Qing, did you see it?" Suddenly, I only heard Lin Haitao say in his ear with a smile, "Isn't the collection of Master Zu's collection room very rich?" ”
"Well, it's very rich!" He Qing nodded vigorously and said, "Master Zu's lifelong collection is here, right?" ”
Lin Haitao nodded and said, "Well, yes, his life's collection is condensed in this collection." ”
He Qing said solemnly: "It can be seen that the collection is really rich! ”
"It's o." Lin Haitao said like a number of treasures, "Master Zu's collection includes almost all antique categories, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, jade and miscellaneous items, and there are many fine products. For example, ceramics include the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, Ding kiln, but the first of the five famous kilns Ru kiln is somewhat lacking, not a complete piece of porcelain, but repaired by porcelain pieces, that is a Ru kiln pen wash, now although it is more perfect, but it is patchwork together, those porcelain pieces are not obtained from the same porcelain. ”
"That's pretty good, too!" He Qing said in an approving tone, "Ru kiln is too precious, rare!" ”
"Isn't it?!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily and said, "Ru kiln is more rare than Yuan Qinghua, and a small pen wash was sold for more than 200 million yuan - oh, by the way, Brother Qing, didn't we go to the Liu brothers last time to inquire about the news of Ru kiln porcelain?" Did the Liu brothers provide you with any useful information now? ”
He Qing shook his head lightly and said, "No." ”
Now he is not good at telling Lin Haitao the truth that he has obtained the secret Ru kiln porcelain pieces, at least after the porcelain pieces are repaired, he is not at ease to hand over such good things to the ordinary porcelain repair master to restore, he plans to find the top master in this area or absorb the superb repair technology from the utensils.
Lin Haitao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That time we went for nothing, and there was basically no hope for that thing, but it should be regarded as a good deed, we bought more than 200 catties of pork from the boss of the Liu family and sent it to the children's welfare home!" ”
"Hehe, it's o." He Qing said with a smile, and then the two diverged from the topic and talked about all kinds of antiques in the Grandmaster Collection.
In a huge collection room, the lights were bright at night, and the soft light reflected the various ceramics on the shelves of the cabinets that He Qing and the others passed, emitting bursts of dazzling strange light, which was simply dazzling.
"Huh?! What is that?! He was walking forward unhurriedly, and suddenly, He Qing's eyes widened, and there was a row of bronze statues as far as he could see, but it was not a bronze statue of an object, but a bronze statue of an animal, and a bronze statue of the head of an animal.
"That'...... It can't be the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace, right?! He Qing then exclaimed, "It's amazing!" ”
He could hardly believe his eyes, how could the lost bronze statue of the twelve zodiac beast heads in the Old Summer Palace be in the collection room of the ancestor master, and there were twelve of them, and none of them fell.
Although He Qing did not have any research on the specific characteristics of the 12 zodiac bronze heads in the Old Summer Palace and the artistic value of their white spoons, he was familiar with that unbearable history, when the Qing Dynasty government was incompetent, in 1860 the British and French forces invaded China, burned the Old Summer Palace, and looted countless treasures inside, the bronze statue of the head of the beast began to lose overseas, but then he was not clear about the situation at all, and he didn't know if he took it back. This is simply an incredible thing, could it be that Master Zu is really omnipotent, and has received such a valuable national treasure.
I don't know why, at that moment, the blood in He Qing's chest boiled.
"Brother Qing, are you kidding me?" Lin Haitao smiled and said, "Then how can it be the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac beast heads in the Old Summer Palace?" It's just a handicraft, but in order to imitate the twelve bronze statues, the ancestor doesn't know how much effort and material resources have been spent! Not badly done, right? Pretty similar, isn't it? The material is a good red copper, similar to the real bronze statue, but it is always an imitation, and the real thing is not compared!
"As you should know, by 2012, the bronze statues of the head of the ox, the head of the monkey, the head of the tiger, the head of the pig and the head of the horse had been returned to China and collected in the Poly Art Museum; The head of the rat and the head of the rabbit were included in the collection of France, and the head of the dragon is currently in Taiwan and Bay, which is well preserved, but will not appear in the short term. The whereabouts of the head of the snake, the head of the chicken, the head of the dog and the head of the sheep are unknown, and the bronze statue of the head of the beast in the Old Summer Palace has become a symbol of the lost cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace. Master Zu has always been very concerned about the return of the bronze head of the zodiac, in order to commemorate the lost bronze head of the zodiac, he specially made so many twelve handicrafts. But it's a pity, he is afraid that he will not see all the statues return to the motherland, and at least four of them are still missing, and no one knows where to start. ”
"yes, I know." He Qing nodded in response, secretly he couldn't help but think, the four lost and missing bronze statues of the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace don't know where they went, he may not have no way to find them, the magical ability of his eyes is unmatched in finding secret antiques, and he has a unique advantage.
At the moment, the two entered the row of zodiac beast head head handicrafts close to the wall, and inspected them at close range, after reading it, He Qing was full of praise, and it was really vivid, and it was really indistinguishable from the general entry, but for He Qing, it was actually not difficult to judge, because those bronze statues did not emit "treasure light", which proves that the thing may not be genuine, and it is worth studying.
After watching for a while, I suddenly heard Lin Haitao beckoning: "Brother Qing, let's go over quickly, Master Zu seems to be calling us, let's hold an event." ”
"What activity?" He Qing turned around and asked casually.
Lin Haitao replied: "I don't know very well, I'll know after I go over." ”
"yes, okay." So He Qing followed Lin Haitao towards the place where Master Zu and them gathered.
When he stepped forward, He Qing immediately noticed that there was an antique fuchsia table next to Master Zu, and the table top was cuboidal, like the kind of long table used by ancient officials or scholars to work.
He Qing immediately noticed that there was a relatively small box on the table, and the box was also ancient, and what attracted He Qing's eyes was naturally the red light shrouded in the box, the light was shining and purple-red, indicating that the box or the things contained in it had an extraordinary origin.
"How many of you young people have come here, haven't you?" Master Zu said to He Qing and his juniors with a smile on his face, "Today is Lao Zheng's birthday, let's play a game while we are happy." There is a Four Seasons Kong Ming lock in this box, but it is locked, and there is a treasure in the locked iron box, who can open all the Kong Ming locks within the specified time, and the treasures in it belong to whom, if anyone can't open it, then there is no way, the opportunity depends on you to fight for it. ”
