Chapter 688 "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace"

"Mr. Pruss, that's the kid!"

Among the people who were secretly looking at He Qing on the side, a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang costume who looked like a Han man said in a low voice, staring at He Qing with a look of vigilance and hostility in his eyes.

Beside him stood an extremely tall foreign man, silver-haired and broad-nosed, who looked no more than fifty years old.

"Well, what's his origin?" The foreign man named Pruss nodded and asked.

The Chinese man in a Tang costume replied in English: "I haven't found out yet, but he is indeed a little weird, and it seems that he has a lot of origin." ”

"You saw him help the man surnamed Tang go to the procuratorate to inspect the porcelain?" Pruss asked.

The man said: "Well, the person we sent there to monitor saw it with his own eyes, that kid did help the surnamed Tang identify the porcelain, he seemed to see something famous, and told the surname Tang, on the way back, the surname Tang looked excited, as if he was winning, so I was worried that the kid might really see something, the surname Tang was confident, and he was confident to win this lawsuit." Mr. Pruss, let's not take it lightly and be prepared for both. ”

Pruss shook his head indifferently, and said with a smile: "Old Wu, you are too nervous. What kind of climate can it become? Didn't you say that he came to our antique shop later? ”

"Yes. After appraising the porcelain for the surnamed Tang, he came to our shop and even participated in our auction and took away a piece of porcelain. The man, surnamed Wu, replied.

Pruss laughed and said, "Isn't that it?" If he can take things from us, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, which means that his eyesight is also very average, not very good at all. You lifted him up. His actual age looked like he was only in his early twenties, so how could he have the ability to identify that tall imitation? Don't worry, Lao Wu, don't worry about that little shrimp. ”

"He did buy a fake porcelain for five or six million, and he was the only one who bought our things and made his own money." Old Wu groaned, "But...... I always felt that something was wrong with that kid. It seems to be a bit evil, otherwise how can you deliberately disguise yourself and make a mystery? Now he is helping Lu Zhenyu identify our porcelain, will it ...... Could he have seen something again? Lu Zhenyu is our potential biggest customer, and if he gives up on buying that porcelain, I am afraid that the auction will be lost again, at least not at the price we want. Mr. Pruss, don't you see that there is something wrong with Lu Zhenyu's expression? He really seemed to give up. ”

Pruss stared. "As if he was going to change his attention," he said, "and I noticed that his face was full of surprise and joy when he first saw that porcelain. If you get a treasure, it's completely different now. ”

"yes, that's it, so beware of that kid." Lao Wu nodded in agreement.

Pruss said: "Then pay attention to him, and if you can, find out where he comes from." ”

"Yes. Mr. Pruth! Lao Wu hurriedly nodded and agreed, "I'll immediately send someone to continue to follow them and find a way to find out the ins and outs of that kid!" There is an old saying in China, which is called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. This lawsuit is very important, but there must be no mistakes! ”

…………

"Hey." On this side, Lu Zhenyu, who had just asked He Qing to identify the enamel color double-ring bottle, sighed to himself, although He Qing eliminated the hidden danger for him and saved him from a huge loss, but his heart was empty, he thought that it was an important cultural relic, and it could be taken back to the motherland after being bought and donated to the National Museum, adding bricks and tiles to the promotion of ancient Chinese culture, and making contributions, who knew that it was just a fake and real imitation, which made people very disappointed.

He Qing comforted: "Actually, you don't have to feel sorry, it's just a fake, and it doesn't mean that its corresponding genuine product is lost abroad." I have seen such an enamel porcelain in the Palace Museum before, maybe it is the only one in the world, and it is only in our country's cultural relics collection, not in the hands of foreigners. ”

"That's possible." Lu Zhenyu nodded and said, listening to He Qing's words, he felt much more comfortable, and he didn't worry about the fake porcelain anymore, but changed the topic and said: "Brother He, this porcelain doesn't matter, let's go and see the other treasure that I am going to participate in the auction, with your help, I feel much more at ease." ”

He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Yes." ”

Immediately, he and Lin Haitao followed Lu Zhenyu towards another display case.

Soon they came to the display case, and saw that there was a painted scroll in the cabinet, on which was painted a landscape similar to a royal garden, and the scenery on it was very beautiful and lifelike.

"Brother He, this is a painted ancient scroll, what is painted on it is the scenery of the Old Summer Palace, of course, it is the scenery before the Old Summer Palace was burned by the group of robbers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and now the Old Summer Palace is only left with broken walls and broken bricks and tiles, and the 'Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens', which was once treasured countless times, no longer exists, only appears in some residual picture scrolls, allowing people to get a glimpse of its appearance." Lu Zhenyu introduced with a somewhat sentimental expression.

"Isn't it "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace"?" He Qing nodded lightly and said, "Look at the content, what is painted on it is indeed the scenery of a certain part of the Old Summer Palace, the scenery is really beautiful, but unfortunately it is no longer there." ”

"Brother Qing, as far as I know, the original name of "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace" was "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace". Lin Haitao interjected, "This set of exquisite color paintings was painted by the court painters ordered by Emperor Qianlong, and it depicts 40 garden landscapes with a unique pattern, and one scene is a 'Yuanzhong Garden' or garden building complex. ”

He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, it is "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace", the real "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace" is called "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace", a set of forty picture scrolls, each of which can be independently painted. This valuable scroll was originally hidden in the Imperial Collection Pavilion of the Old Summer Palace, but in 1860, British and French troops broke into the Old Summer Palace, looted the treasures in the garden, and burned the manor. This set of landscape maps was stolen by the British and French forces at that time, and after being snatched, it was dedicated to the French king Napoleon III, and is now stored in the National Library of Paris, France.

"Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace" is immeasurable in terms of artistic value and cultural relics, just to buy the filming negatives of the scenes, China has spent millions, and now our country has to obtain the copyright from the French National Library to publish this set of treasured paintings, which was originally our own China's own things, after being snatched away by the invaders and taken for themselves, we not only want to come back, but also have to see their faces."

When he said this, he was faintly sad, but history cannot be changed, this is a helpless thing.

He Qing didn't know much about the so-called "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace" before, but after listening to Lu Zhenyu say something about it, he deliberately inquired about the relevant information and learned some information in depth.

After all, he has not been in this industry for a long time, and his knowledge and experience are still very limited, so he needs to learn and absorb slowly and grow step by step.

"Brother Qing, you said that the original version of "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace" is in the National Library of France, so why does it also appear here?" Lin Haitao wondered, "The cultural relics collected by the National Library of France can't appear at auction logically, right?" France is not so poor as to sell art. ”

He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Of course not, this picture scroll is not any of the "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace". ”

"What about this...... This is a fake?! Lin Haitao said in surprise.

He Qing shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Although Qianlong sent someone to paint such a set at that time, it does not mean that there is only one set in the Qianlong period, and it must have been painted later, but there may not be a complete set of forty paintings. ”

Lu Zhenyu nodded and said: "Yes, I also know this, this "Scenery of the Old Summer Palace" is not one of the "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace" in the Qianlong period, but the Emperor Jiajing behind the Qianlong Emperor ordered the court painter to draw it, and there is the imperial seal of the Jiajing Emperor on it. I suspect that this painting is also a cultural relic looted from the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces at that time, but unfortunately there is only one such one, and no others have been found. Brother He, you have a deep eyesight, and please help identify it, to see if this picture scroll is likely to be genuine, if it is genuine, then I am ready to take a photograph, although we in China do not have the Qianlong period of the "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace", buy back such a picture, it is also very good, you can talk about self-masturbation. ”

He Qing nodded without thinking about it, and said, "It should be no problem, it is from the Jiajing period." ”

His tone was more affirmative, because as soon as he came up, he caught a strong "treasure light", since it emitted such a strong aura, it was true nine times out of ten, and there would be no mistake.

"The real thing?!" When he heard He Qingna's answer, Lu Zhenyu was surprised, delighted, and excited.

He Qing said: "I'll take a closer look and make sure." ”

"Well, please take a good look at it." Lu Zhenyu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Although He Qing can see a strong "treasure light", he is not sure that the scroll is in the dynasty, and it is indeed from the hands of court painters in the Jiajing period, but it is not difficult to determine this.

At that moment, He Qing stared intently at the scroll in the display case, and it didn't take long for him to see the "past and present lives" of the painting through his aura.

Through the upside-down images of Guò, He Qing clearly saw the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, and the royal garden, known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", was hidden in the sea of fire.

That is a shame that the Chinese nation cannot look back on, and it is extremely painful. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
