Chapter 758: A National Treasure
In the evening.
Building No. 1 of the Municipal Party Committee Compound.
Standing at the door of Su Yan's house, Fang Chen pressed the doorbell generously, without the slightest embarrassment and discomfort, so that Su Yan next to him pouted, a picture of loss that he didn't see.
Although this is the first time he has come to the door after confessing his heart to Su Yan and confirming the relationship last year, who is he Fangchen? A billionaire with tens of billions of employees, tens of thousands of employees in the company, and the richest man in both China and Russia, he was still wrestling with the vice president and speaker of the Russian parliament two days ago, so how could he have stage fright at such a time.
There was a rush of footsteps in the door, the door opened, and Liu Ziyan, who was holding a spatula and wearing an apron around her waist, appeared in front of the two.
As soon as she saw that it was Fang Chen, Liu Ziyan couldn't help but squint her eyes, and a thick smile appeared.
When she saw Fang Chen at this time, she was really happy in her heart, and she felt a little happy when her mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law.
"I also said, if you two don't come back after this dish is done, I'll call you over. Liu Ziyan said with a smile.
At this time, Liu Ziyan's appearance is like a mother waiting for her children to come home for dinner, plain, but contains sincere parental love.
Unlike Su Shuang, since she knew that her baby daughter liked Fang Chen, and Fang Chen was good enough, she regarded Fang Chen as her own child in her heart.
"No matter what you call, as soon as I smell the fragrance here, I will come automatically immediately. Fang Chen said with a smile on his face.
I don't know if it was Liu Ziyan who ordered it, or if it was really a coincidence, the house given to him by the Luozhou Administration Bureau was two adjacent buildings to Su Yan's house, and standing by the window, he could really smell the fragrance of Su Yan's stir-fried food.
Today he and Su Yan were tired of being at his house for an afternoon, no, it should be accurate to say that Su Yan's classmates supervised him to study and supervised him for an afternoon, and as soon as they came home from dinner at noon, Su Yan took out a thick stack of rolls out of noon, and forced him to do it.
As for Fang Aiguo and Liu Xiuying, there was an activity in the Provincial Writers' Association two days ago, and Comrade Fang Aiguo, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Writers' Association, led a group and didn't know where to go.
Hearing Fang Chen say this, Liu Ziyan's face suddenly became happy, her huge and bright eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and she said with a smile: "Let Auntie go back today, I'll cook, let's eat as a family, if it's not delicious, don't blame me." ”
The aunt refers to the nanny assigned to the Su family in the city, who is usually responsible for cooking and tidying up the housework.
"How can your cooking be delicious, I ate the stir-fried beef with double peppers you made last year, and I still feel fragrant and fresh in my memory. Fang Chen slapped it with a sycophant that was not light or heavy.
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Ziyan's face became even stronger.
Su Yan grinned and said three words silently at Fang Chen, sycophant!
She still knows what level her mother cooks, and she can only say that it is not unpalatable, and there is still a long way to go from the realm of deliciousness.
But who made her own mother rare Fang Chen, she had to cook by herself to show her gratitude.
And Fang Chen's face was not red at this time, he was not panting, and his eyes flashed with sincerity, as if this was the case.
After all, he also has the ability to coax his mother-in-law for 20 years, so what is it to say this.
You must know that in his previous life, his mother-in-law almost regarded him as his own son, and when he divorced his ex-wife, his ex-wife still had no reaction, and his mother-in-law was still reluctant.
However, this also shows that even the richest man in China and Russia has to please his mother-in-law, no matter how rich he is, unless he is just playing, he has no feelings.
"Oh, why are you standing at the door and talking, you two come in, Su Yan, you go to the study and call your dad to come out and prepare for dinner. Liu Ziyan patted her forehead and said.
After washing his hands, Fang Chen helped Liu Ziyan serve the dishes, arrange the dishes, and serve the rice, a picture of his own family, but it also seemed to be happy and harmonious.
Su Shuang walked out of the study and looked at Fang Chen, who was busy and busy, and then looked at the expression on his wife's face that was about to smile, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes were full of vigilance, in his opinion, Fang Chen was the enemy who broke into his house.
However, the most infuriating thing is that both Su Yan and Liu Ziyan have already defected to Fang Chen's side, and they can't allow him to say anything bad about Fang Chen.
Seriously, is Fang Chen so good?
I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured into this girl.
While eating, Fang Chen's various rainbow sycophants sprayed towards Liu Ziyan like a Makqin machine gun.
Liu Ziyan was naturally smiling happily, smiling happily, and Su Shuang's face became more and more difficult to look at, he had never seen such a greasy person, more shameless than his subordinates, and he could say anything!
After eating, Fang Chen and Su Yan helped Liu Ziyan clean up the table, while Su Shuang sat on the sofa with a newspaper, the old god was watching, and his eyes glanced at Fang Chen from time to time.
When he was almost busy, Fang Chen took the bag he was carrying just now, and said while taking out his things: "Aunt Liu, these are the two works of art I brought to you from Russia, "With the Grace of the Dynasty and the Country" and "Flora, the God of Flowers", I hope you can like it." ”
Looking at the two exquisite prints and oil paintings presented on the table, and full of historical weight, Su Shuang and Liu Ziyan were stunned for a moment, although they didn't know much about the works of art, but looking at the appearance of the two works, they also knew that the value was extraordinary.
Not to mention that this was still given to them by Fang Chen, could Fang Chen have given them something ordinary?
"There is also a "Throne Map of Righteous and Brave Wu'an", which I gave to Su Shu...... Uncle's. As he spoke, Fang Chen took out another print from his bag.
Looking at this "Throne Map of Righteous and Brave Wu'an", and then at "Showing the Grace of the Country with the Dynasty", Su Shuang couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "These two pieces were excavated by the Russians at the Xixia site in Yongliang Province together with "Liu Zhiyuan's Palace Tunes"?"
Fang Chen smiled and nodded slightly.
Seeing that it was true, Liu Ziyan couldn't help but reddened her lips slightly, and her eyes exuded a look of excitement.
As I said before, their artistic literacy is not high, but these things are too famous, and they have a little connection with themselves.
"Liu Zhiyuan's Palaces", "With the Dynasty and the Grace of the Country", "Righteous and Brave Wu'an Throne Map", these three things were discovered by Russian explorers in the early 20th century, and then brought back to Russia, each of which is more than 1,000 years ago and has great representative significance.
Among them, the most famous is "Liu Zhiyuan's Zhugong Tune", which is a work of Zhugong Tune in the Song and Jin dynasties, and it is also the earliest existing Zhugong Tune work in China, which has an important influence on later drama and rap literature.
In 1958, it was returned to Huaxia by the Soviet Union as a national gift, and it is now stored in the Yenching Library, how could they not know as Yanjing people.
And when they just came back, they were only seven or eight years old at that time, they happened to be in elementary school, and they were organized by the school to visit the Yanjing Library.
Seeing that Su Shuang and Liu Ziyan knew the goods, Fang Chen couldn't help but chuckle, feeling quite relieved in his heart, there was finally no pearl to secretly invest.
Liu Zhiyuan's Tunes to the Palaces was returned to China by the Soviets, while the other two works are still stored in the Alexander Museum in Russia.
Needless to say, he came back this time, he must have come to visit Liu Ziyan and Su Shuang, after all, he kidnapped the hearts of other people's daughters, and he was almost private for life, and he finally came back for a trip, he always had to visit, so he asked Berezovsky to help him collect something that he could get his hands on as a gift.
Then knowing that these two ancient paintings had special significance, he tried to get them back.
And it's not difficult to get it back, at this time Russia doesn't say that the army is in chaos, but it is said that it is a chaos, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, no one can control whom, everyone wants to benefit from the country, it is absolutely true.
In a large museum like Alexander, there are hundreds of thousands of things in it, and often only a small part is on display, and most of them are in a dusty state, and these few things like the ones he brought over are all eaten in the warehouse, and he can find a museum manager and spend one or two thousand dollars to get them out.
As for the current situation in Russia, the devil knows how many years it will take for the museum to find out that these things are lost.
Besides, he wasn't alone in it.
If it weren't for the fact that he was not interested in Russia's national treasures, and that there were not too many things in Russia that belonged to China, and they were not too precious, he would really have the heart to collect a bunch of these antique calligraphy and paintings into his home.
However, Huaxia's treasures always have to be taken back, and he has already asked Berezovsky to inquire for him, to see what other Huaxia treasures are in Russia, and let him find a way to get them for him.
Seeing her parents staring at the two prints and oil paintings in front of them in shock, they couldn't take their eyes off it, they were stunned, and it seemed that their souls had been sucked in, Su Yan looked confused.
"What is this?" Su Yan pulled Fang Chen's sleeve and asked longingly, feeling like a cat scratching.
These three things are treasures, that's for sure, but the parents know what they are, she doesn't know, and that's a little too uncomfortable for her.
Fang Chen chuckled, then leaned on Su Yan's ear and whispered.
"The Sui Dynasty's Slender Appearance of the Country" is also known as the Four Beauties, which depicts Wang Zhaojun, Zhao Feiyan, Green Beads, and Ban Ji, four famous peerless beauties in ancient times.
It is also the work of the Song and Jin dynasties, it is the earliest wooden print in China, and it has epoch-making significance in the history of printmaking in China.
The "Righteous and Brave Wu'an Throne Map" is also called the Guan Gong map, which is painted with the martial saint Guan Gong, which is also a work of the Song and Jin dynasties, and the Righteous and Brave Wu'an King is the title of Guan Yu added by Song Gaozong.
As for the oil painting "Flora", it was painted by Rembrandt, one of the greatest European painters of the 17th century and known as the greatest painter of the Netherlands.
Rembrandt's place in the history of painting, not only in the Netherlands but in Europe, is on a par with the great masters of the Italian Renaissance.
I don't know how long it took before Su Shuang and Liu Ziyan raised their heads and looked at Fang Chen inexplicably.
After a few breaths, Su Shuang said in a deep voice: "These two works, your aunt and I like them very much, thank you." ”
Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but pause, it was really unprecedented, he really beat him to death, he didn't expect that one day Su Shuang would be able to say thank you to him.
Su Shuang looked at Fang Chen with a somewhat complicated look, he really didn't expect Fang Chen to be able to give him such a special gift.
Needless to say, the historical value of these two prints themselves, even if they are not rated as national treasures, they are definitely first-class cultural relics.
It also has a special identity, that is, it was taken to Russia by the Russians, and now Fang Chen has let these two printmaking wanderers go home, which is naturally endowed with a special and indelible meaning.
Therefore, he decided to accept it without much thought, otherwise how would he dare to accept such a precious gift.
However, this seems to be the benefit of recruiting Fangchen to be his son-in-law, not to mention that ordinary people can't afford to give such a baby, even if they do, he can't accept it with peace of mind.
And if it was Fang Chen, he knew very well that although these three treasures were worth a lot of money, for Fang Chen, I am afraid it was really a drizzle, and it was not even a dime.
The value of these three treasures in themselves, in Fang Chen's heart, is probably not as important as his heart.
For a while, Su Shuang's mood suddenly became more complicated, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy.
"Seriously, Uncle Su and I are very grateful to you, and we are actually very happy that you gave us these two prints, this oil painting is really unnecessary. Liu Ziyan said sincerely.
Su Shuang also nodded slightly.
The value of "Flower God Flora" in their eyes is naturally far inferior to the Four Beauties and Guan Gong Pictures, but with Rembrandt's status in the hearts of white Europeans and Americans, the price Fang Chen has to pay to obtain "Flower God Flora" is probably far above these two prints.
Liu Ziyan is right, "Flower God Flora" is indeed much more expensive than those two prints, Fang Chen paid 10,000 US dollars before the other party was willing to sell this painting to him.
"Aunt Liu, look at what you said, if I don't think that "Flora", the god of flowers, can be worthy of you, I don't want it yet, besides, it can't be said that only foreign devils can plunder treasures from Huaxia, and Huaxia can't take their treasures. Fang Chen said confidently.
Hearing this, Su Shuang glanced at Fang Chen approvingly, although he usually disliked Fang Chen, but he also had to say that Fang Chen's words were reasonable, and he was angry.
After the impact of these three gifts, the relationship between everyone has become much more harmonious, and when they chat, they can be regarded as having a good conversation, and Su Shuang does not pick his nose and eyes at Fang Chen.
After chatting for a while, Su Shuang coughed lightly, and then walked towards the study.
Fang Chen immediately knew what he meant when he heard the strings, and followed him in, Liu Ziyan and Su Yan were even more accustomed to it, and when the men in the family talked about business, they all looked like this.
As long as Su Yan's grandfather and grandfather enter the study after eating, it means that they are about to start talking about business, the men in the family are rushing in one by one, and the women should clean up the housework, clean up the housework, and go to work and school, go to work and school, and do not interfere with each other.
And as far as they know, all the big families in Yanjing are basically like this.
The two sat quietly on both sides of the desk, Fang Chen looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, standing still, how did he know what Su Shuang was going to talk to him, so naturally he had to wait for Su Shuang to speak.
At this time, Su Shuang didn't know what he was thinking, he kept looking Fang Chen up and down, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable light.
