Reborn Soul Wisdom 375_Chapter 375 Lend-Lease from ()

When it comes to the Old Summer Palace, it has to be said that the Second Opium War was defeated, and the royal gardens that were built at that time with huge sums of money were looted, and the buildings that could not be taken away were burned down, and the bronze beast heads of the zodiac animals were naturally taken away by those people. 【 High Quality Update 】

"Master, since you like it, let's take it, please don't be so excited, it's not good to be happy, it's not good for your health, not to mention like now Old Man Zheng will cry for a while and laugh for a while. Bai Ling also loves art, but he just loves it, but it is not as good as the extent to which Old Man Zheng dedicated his life to art, and it seems that he will not be able to change this problem for a while.

Old Man Zheng held a picture album, didn't speak, looked at the two beast heads obsessively, and it took a while to recover, and said: "Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I really can't control myself, I want to replace these two things, no matter what." ”

"Okay, okay, no matter what, Brother Qin, Brother Ou go back and do it, don't be excited, these two things are given to you, is this okay?" Bai Ling said indifferently, although it is precious, but these are dead things after all, in Bai Ling's eyes, it is still a living person who is the most important, since it can meet Old Man Zheng's preferences, then why not give it to her.

"You girl, how dare I accept such a precious bronze! I don't have anything to exchange with you. Old Man Zheng said regretfully.

"It's not a sale, it's an exchange, I'll give it to you again." Bai Ling didn't understand why the bronze beast head only had such a big influence, "I really haven't seen these things good. ”

Old Man Zheng shook his head and said, "Just exchange these things back, in 1860, the British and French troops burned down the Old Summer Palace." Since then, the bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace have been lost overseas, becoming a microcosm of the loss of Chinese cultural relics - more than 100 years after the Opium War, as many as one million pieces of Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas due to war, looting, and theft. We also do our best, obey the destiny of heaven, and do our best. ”

"Yes, master. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. In my life, I will do my best to let more Chinese cultural relics return to my hometown. I swear to you, so don't dwell too much on it now, I'll inherit your will. Keep up the good work. Bai Ling was very worried about Old Man Zheng, he took his pulse just now, and found that it was not very good.

"Little Spirit. Thank you, I know, you are very good, being able to accept you as an apprentice is the most proud thing in my life! Old Man Zheng smiled, he didn't want Bai Ling to worry too much, he had lost his temper just now. It is estimated that it scared Bai Ling.

"Master, I don't have many relatives. There are not many people who love me, so I don't want to lose you, you promised me before, you want to watch me grow up, get married, have children, and live happily ever after, so you have to take care of your body, even if it's not for yourself, but for me. Bai Ling pleaded and said, the relationship with Old Man Zheng for more than ten years is closer than relatives.

Old Man Zheng patted Xiao Ling's head and said, "Hehe, the master will take good care of his body, and he will see Xiao Ling's baby in the future, and I will teach him to carve!" ”

"Well, just remember, don't forget the person in front of you as soon as you see something hundreds of years ago. If you don't take care of your body, others will be worried. Bai Ling chattered endlessly, accusing Old Man Zheng of the crime of not caring for his body.

"Okay, Xiaoling, it's the master's mistake, and it won't be in the future." Old Man Zheng begged for mercy and said, "Let's continue to see if there are any other good things, don't talk about the master!" ”

Bai Ling accepted it when he saw it, "snorted", lowered his head, and began to rummage through other things.

After reading all six albums, Old Man Zheng picked hundreds of things, pig heads, bull heads, these two beast heads, must be exchanged, and the others, as many as they can be exchanged.

Bai Ling took advantage of this shareholder trend to get out all the Western paintings in the space and display them in the top conservation research institute. The hearts of these foreign collectors beat violently every day, and they were dazzled by what was in front of them.

Although it caused a sensation, but after the last time Shikoku Life was strictly refuted by righteousness, more artworks are now announced, although some people protested, but they did not succeed, in a word, do not sell, if you want, then take something in exchange.

In the end, ten of the paintings and a few sculptures of Michelangelo's head were exchanged for nearly 800 antiques, including the two precious beast heads of the Old Summer Palace inside. The negotiations were very difficult, but fortunately, the results were very good. From time to time, Mr. Zheng would go to the research institute to see those antiques that had been exchanged, and he was in a very high mood, and from these words and the records on the items, he could understand the production technology and material life at that time.

As for Bai Ling, when he is idle, he studies porcelain with Old Man Zheng, and usually Old Man Zheng says that Bai Ling is listening.

On this day, when Bai Ling and Mr. Zheng were discussing this piece of black pottery, a staff member in his fifties was brought over by Mr. Zheng's assistant, and when he asked, it turned out to be the deputy director of the Palace Museum.

"Old man Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same!" This person is Chen Qiqi of the National Museum, since he knew that Old Man Zheng had a statue of Venus and paintings of Picasso and Van Gogh, he naturally wanted to get these things into the museum for everyone to admire. But after a long time of activity, I didn't see them dedicated. You must know that the Chinese people are still very patriotic at this time, especially the sculpture like Venus, which has a great influence, and if it is donated, it can gain incomparable prestige.

"It turned out to be Xiao Chen! If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why are you here with me? "Old Man Zheng is busy, and at his current age and prestige, there is no need to beat around the bush with others, speak straightforwardly, save time, that is, to extend the statement, especially for an old man like him, it is especially important.

Chen Qiqi usually talks to people, all in the clouds, going around, talking for a long time, before going around to the topic, by Old Man Zheng said this, he was really a little uncomfortable, and said with a dry smile: "Old Zheng, it's still so refreshing, I really have something to do, I want to discuss it with Zheng Lao." ”

"What's the matter?" Old Man Zheng asked, "You say, if you can help, I will definitely help." ”

After the initial embarrassment, Chen Qiqi recovered a little, and said with a smile: "Elder Zheng, I came here this time, and I want to ask you to buy the Venus statue, and put it in our Beijing Museum for the world to admire." ”

Old Man Zheng shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Chen, I won't sell this thing, we are now building a private museum, and Venus will become one of the treasures of the town hall, so I can't sell it to you, please forgive me." ”

When Chen Qiqi heard this, he didn't like it, but he didn't show it on his face, and continued: "Old Zheng, the National Museum, there will be many people going to pay homage every day, and putting it there can be seen by more people, as an artistic patriot, I don't think it's very honorable." ”

Old Man Zheng and Bai Ling looked at each other, and they both saw disgust in each other's eyes, wouldn't it be glorious if they didn't sell them to the National Museum? Looking at Chen Qiqi's dragging, it is estimated that he said that he would buy, which was also a disguise, but in fact, he wanted to use the name of patriotism to buy at a low price, which was no different from giving it away. If you want to say that it is glorious, Bai Ling and Old Man Zheng exchanged thousands of antiques back, isn't this patriotic glory.

Bai Ling couldn't stop giving Old Man Zheng a look, and Old Man Zheng said knowingly: "Xiao Chen, you go back first, I'll think about it here!" ”

After Chen Qiqi left, Old Man Zheng asked, "Xiao Ling, why did you look at it just now?" Old Man Zheng asked puzzled.

"That Venus must not be sold, but it can be rented to them for display, and we will get it back when the museum is ready." Bai Ling thought of a way to do both, and the reason why he didn't say it just now was because he didn't want that person named Chen Qiqi to succeed so easily. A deputy curator, what kind of strength is dragging the ground.

"Well, I was still worried about how to convince them, but now this is an expedient measure to lend them this, I will call Xiao Chen tomorrow and make him happy." Old Man Zheng said with a smile.

"Master, what is the relationship between that Chen Qiqi and you, your tone is not small, you want our things, and you are still arrogant! Is this the case with everyone in the government department? "No mistakes, no skipping words. Bai Ling frowned and asked, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to embarrass Old Man Zheng, Bai Ling wouldn't even want to borrow it.

"He's a student who I got up early to teach, and he's also in the art collecting industry, so we often meet, and if you want to talk about friendship, there's not much." Old Man Zheng thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh, so be it, even if you don't lend it to the National Museum; Other organizations will come to borrow it as well. Bai Ling nodded, "Later, let Brother Chen and Brother Ou help us get up early to borrow the contract, and we will sign it in black and white, so that they can save the time when they repay the debt." ”

"Well, that's it! I'll call Xiao Chen tomorrow! "Old Man Zheng was busy with antiques on his sword, so he didn't have time to think about it.

However, from this incident, Bai Ling also saw that her things were now remembered by many people. It is estimated that in the near future, many people will buy or ask for Mr. Zheng, so now hurry up the pace of building the library. Bai Ling got five acres of land in a slightly prosperous area, which was not very large, so he could only develop to a high place. Here, Bai Ling plans to build several buildings with twenty or thirty floors, and all the things in the space will be taken out and put in the museum.

There are a lot of things in the space, so it is divided into different areas and different floors according to the country. The general exhibition hall is a floor, but the space is not allowed, so in the end I still choose the floor, the big deal, when the time comes, get more elevators and stairs to facilitate entry and exit.
