Wang Yiting just sighed and did not mean to object.

Qin Di said in a low voice: "I have a secret method that can help you prolong your life for three months." ”

Wang Yiting shook his head: "No need, die early and be clean early! Watching the Japanese run rampant in China, one more day of life will be one more day of sin." ”

Qin Di asked, "Mr. Wang, you called me, but I don't know what to order?"

Wang Yiting grabbed Qin Di's arm with a trembling hand and said, "I just want to ask you for one thing, at this time of national crisis, please reach out and leave the national treasures that appear on the market, don't let them go abroad." They also have souls, and their hearts are crying!"

Qin Di sighed and said, "As you wish, this matter will be left to me." ”

Half a month later, on November 13, Wang Yiting died of illness.

Throughout Wang Yiting's life, there are many remarkable places.

At the age of 14, he became an apprentice in Yichun Tang, a famous painting shop in the magic capital, and was later appreciated by Li Yunshu, a wealthy merchant in Ningbo, and recommended him to work in the Hengtai Money Village and Sand Boat Company founded by his family.

In 1885, he joined the Osaka Steamship Company, and because of his hard work and rapid mastery of Japanese, he was promoted to the general agent of the Modu branch in 1902, and in 1907 he was transferred to the Nissin Steamship Company as the general agent.

Just imagine, how difficult it is for an ordinary young person to be able to do this?

In 1910, Wang Yiting joined the League and was responsible for the financial work of the Modu area. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he served as the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of Agriculture and Industry of the Governor's Office, and the Minister of the Modu Branch of the Qingbai Party.

In 1923, after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, Wang Yiting mobilized 50,000 tons of flour from his flour mill to donate to Japan, becoming the first batch of foreign aid materials received by Japan, and was thanked by the Japanese emperor. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Wang resolutely resigned as the general agent of the Nissin Company in order to show his intentions, and came forward to organize painters to "save the country through art", and sold his calligraphy and painting works to raise funds for the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese gave him a flag and asked him to plant it on the roof of his house, as long as he planted the flag, he would not be bombed, but he burned the flag!

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he refused the invitation of the Japanese army and was unwilling to serve in the puppet government, so he took refuge in Hong Kong. In November 38, he was seriously ill and returned to the magic capital in order to return to his roots.

Wang Yiting memorial meeting, the two upper corners of the statue were hung with the flag of the Qingbai Party and the national flag of the Republic of China. Mr. Qing, who was far away in Chongqing, inscribed the couplet: "When the wind and rain are in the midst of the turmoil, we will wait to rectify the situation and then re-hang the people."

After Qin Di came out of Ziyuan, he sent someone to invite Zhang Congyu.

Zhang Congyu came to the Qin Mansion respectfully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I will listen to your orders." ”

Qin Di was not polite, and asked directly: "I heard that you are young and rich, and you are addicted to gambling, not only lost the big world in betting, but also lost some calligraphy and paintings, and your ancestral inheritance was lost by you, right?"

Zhang Congyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, you have misunderstood me. I like to gamble, it's an illusion, but in fact I have exchanged my wealth for antiques. ”

"Oh, so you lost the big world fake?"

"Sir, I exchanged the real estate for calligraphy and painting, including Zhang Xuan's "Tang Dynasty Queen's Journey" and Yan Zhenqing's "Liu Zhong's Envoy's Post", all of which are peerless masterpieces. ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "I don't mean to blame you, it's a good thing to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and it's better to avoid gambling as much as possible." ”

Zhang Congyu nodded hurriedly: "Sir, what you said is true." ”

He was more than ten years younger than Qin Di, but he looked up at Qin Di's face and found that the other party did not look old at all, and he felt strange in his heart.

Qin Di said: "I know your family history, you have a unique point in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, I want to come up with a large amount of money to buy all the valuable cultural relics on the market, can you please help me do this?

Zhang Congyu slapped his face when he heard this: "Okay! I'm bored, I'm willing to do this kind of thing!"

For cultural relics connoisseurs, the saddest thing is to see a good painting slip away from their eyes, and even go into exile and never see it again, if the treasure on the market is accepted by Qin Di, at least it will remain in China, and there will be a chance to see it again in the future.

Qin Di asked: "At present, when buying calligraphy and paintings, do people prefer fiat currency, US dollars or gold?"

Zhang Congyu said: "Gold and US dollar bills are fine, but the fiat currency is a little worse." ”

Qin Di said: "I have prepared 1,000 taels of gold for you, you take it and use it first, and then come to me if it is not enough." As he spoke, he gently picked up a black leather bag from under the table.

Zhang Congyu was shocked when he heard this: "1,000 taels of gold, just give it to me?"

He reached for his bag, but it felt so heavy that he didn't lift one hand in a hurry!

Qin Di said 1,000 taels of gold, referring to 1,000 ounces, 1 kilogram is equal to 32.15 ounces, so the weight of the leather bag is about sixty catties.

Zhang Congyu is a rich kid, a playboy, who can only read books and appreciate them, and has never practiced martial arts, so it is very difficult to mention it.

Qin Di called a bodyguard, carried a leather bag, and sent him all the way back.

No matter when, the treasures of the national treasure level are very expensive, the 1,000 taels of gold may not be able to buy a few, and history records that Zhang Daqian spent 500 taels of gold to buy "Xiaoxiang Tu".

Fortunately, Qin Di has a lot of gold in his hands, as long as Zhang Congyu can spend it, it is not a good thing.

In fact, looking back, Zhang Congyu spent all his time drinking and selling all his real estate before 1947, which was not a bad thing for him personally, otherwise not only would he not become the most famous connoisseur in China, but there might also be unexpected trouble.

Zhang Congyu's uncle Pang Laichen was also a great collector, and in 1963 he dedicated 536 rare calligraphy and paintings to the Jinling Museum, and the remaining 137 calligraphy and paintings were dedicated to the Suzhou Museum in 1979.

Soon, Zhang Congyu helped Qin Di buy a lot of treasures, such as Mei Daoren's "Shanshui" axis, Song Xiaozong's imperial edict, Wen Zhengming's pen; purple sand for spring teapot, true and fine; and Shi Dabin three pots, also true; for spring, Shi Dabin's pot, all of which are masterpieces, are rare.

Another example is the Song periodical "Xinding Continuation", "Wujun Tujing Reading", the Song magazine "Ouyang Xingzhou Anthology", and the Ming magazine "Sixteen Ji Poems". The Song Magazine is a high ancient book among the ancient books, and it is a unique book, and it is even more precious.

Qin Di put all these antique calligraphy and paintings into the small world of Wuyi Mountain, and he also re-set and strengthened the magic circle outside the small world to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders, and then broke into it in a daze.
