www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
The treasure hunt continues, with only the last two rooms left, it will be over soon.
In the past hour or so, Ye Tian and the others found nothing. All they faced were empty rooms with not a single piece of furniture, let alone valuable antiques and artworks.
At the same time, Ye Tian's cell phone ringtone kept ringing, almost without interruption.
You don’t need to think about who are the people calling him now.
There are old friends from major auction houses in New York, famous collectors and antique art appraisal experts, art brokers of some super rich people, heads of major museums, etc.
It is self-evident that their purpose is to come here for "Chunhua Pavilion" and "Creation of Adam", mainly for "Creation of Adam", everyone wants to win this Michelangelo masterpiece.
At first, Ye Tian answered a few calls and politely declined the request for private transactions, asking the other party to compete fairly with other buyers at the auction. He was very polite.
Later, there were so many calls that he was too lazy to answer them. Instead, he edited a text message and sent it to everyone who called, explaining the situation and rejecting the caller.
No, as soon as they entered the second to last room, the phone rang again.
But Ye Tian had to answer this call because it was from Beijing. The caller was Mr. Jin, deputy director of the Painting and Calligraphy Department of the Palace Museum, another old acquaintance.
Ye Tian gently slid open the screen lock of his phone and said enthusiastically:
"Good morning, Mr. Jin, you got up really early. It's just dawn over in Beijing, right? Why did you remember to call me so early in the morning? I'm so flattered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Jin’s familiar voice came over, and he sounded quite excited.
"I have to ask you, how are you this afternoon? Xiaoye, the time difference between China and the United States is exactly twelve hours! It's four or five o'clock in the afternoon over there, and it's just dawn over here in Beijing, and the sun hasn't come out yet.
Why did I get up so early? I'm not surprised by your kid! Not only me, but many people in domestic antique shops and museums were probably shocked by your kid's generosity!
Who can sleep when you put up such a big satellite? This guy who is still sleeping soundly on his head is either very big-hearted, or he is just a stickler, there is no third possibility!
I am watching the video material of your treasure hunt live broadcast. Counting the live broadcast just now, this is the third time. I get excited every time I watch it! That’s still a little bit sleepy! "
"Hey! You always know how to browse the Internet to watch videos! You are so trendy! It seems that you are always at the forefront of the trend, I admire you!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, joking with Mr. Jin on the other end of the phone, in a very relaxed state.
"You kid, please stop playing cymbals with me! How can I circumvent the Internet? My grandson helped me do it. He is sitting next to me and acting as a translator for me.
I have watched this video three times. I have watched the video of you showing and introducing the Chunhua Pavilion Tie from the early Northern Song Dynasty at least six or seven times.
Unfortunately, this is video data shot with a mobile phone, and the resolution is limited after all. Through this video data, I am still not sure about the authenticity of this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie".
But I can also see that this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" does have some history, and is in very good condition. It is a set of ancient cultural classics with great research value!
Now I want to know, is this set of ancient books really, as you said, the first rubbing of the "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" collected by the royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties? Was it the rubbing made in the third year of Chunhua?
I still have great faith in your young man’s ability to identify antiques and artworks. You should not be wrong about this. Everyone in the industry has witnessed this! "
After a few words of joking, Mr. Jin immediately got down to business, his voice sounding quite urgent.
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Jin. I can never be wrong. This set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" is 100% rubbings made in the third year of Chunhua, and comes from the original jujube wood that was originally carved.
As for whether it is a collection of the Zhao and Song royal families? The seals left by Song Taizong, Song Huizong, and several other Northern Song emperors are the best proof. These seals are not difficult to identify.
You are a famous calligrapher. When this set of initial rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" comes back to China and sees it with your own eyes, I am very sure that you will be shocked by it!
The paper and ink used to print this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Calligraphy" are 'Chengxintang Paper' and 'Li Tinggui Ink' respectively. It is not difficult for a calligrapher like you to identify them! "
Ye Tian said categorically, his tone was very firm, unquestionable and full of confidence.
"That's great! I believe you won't miss it. You are right. This is indeed a priceless treasure, a cultural treasure that belongs to all Chinese people, and a national treasure among national treasures!
I have a heartfelt request here. Can you transfer this set of initial rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" collected by the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties to the Forbidden City? The price is based on the valuation given by your kid, $500 million!
In the name of the Painting and Calligraphy Department of the Forbidden City, I will join forces with some famous experts and scholars to apply for special funds from the state to acquire this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Paintings". I will never let it continue to be lost overseas! "
Mr. Jin said excitedly, his voice trembling a little.
However, he didn't get the answer he wanted.
"Old man, I'm very sorry! I don't intend to transfer this set of initial rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", and I won't sell them for any price. I plan to collect this set of priceless treasures myself!
Although the Forbidden City cannot acquire this set of thousand-year-old ancient books, you don’t have to feel regretful. There will be many opportunities to appreciate this set of ancient texts in the future, anytime you want!
Don’t forget, I have a personal exhibition room in the Forbidden City. Soon, I will send this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" back to China and display it in my personal exhibition room for public display!
Until then, you are welcome to visit my personal exhibition room to appreciate this set of thousand-year-old books. Other professionals in the industry, famous calligraphers, and ordinary tourists are also welcome to visit.
You are right. This is a cultural treasure that belongs to all Chinese people. It should be displayed in our own museum so that all Chinese people can appreciate the poetry and literature of our ancestors! "
Ye Tian said emotionally, rejecting Mr. Jin’s acquisition proposal.
How could he be willing to transfer this priceless set of thousand-year-old ancient books? Can we encounter treasures of this level again in the future? I'm afraid it's difficult!
Unless the "Lanting Preface" by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi reappears in the world and falls into his own hands! That possibility is almost non-existent!
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Mr. Jin was silent, obviously thinking.
After a while, the old man's voice came over again.
"This arrangement is not bad. As long as this first set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" can be returned to China, it will be a blessing. As for whether it belongs to the Forbidden City, it does not matter!
Anyway, your boy’s personal exhibition room is also in the Forbidden City. We can go there to appreciate and study it at any time. It is very convenient and is not much different from owning the Forbidden City itself.
When are you going to send this set of thousand-year-old ancient books back to the country? I hope the sooner the better, don’t let us old guys wait too long, we can’t afford the suffering.
One more thing, your personal exhibition room needs to be renovated, security measures strengthened, and security personnel added to make it safer. Just leave these to us at the Forbidden City.
This is a warm welcome! Just wait for your boy to send that set of thousand-year-old ancient books back to China. If a special plane is needed to **** it, we can also coordinate the arrangements. We are sincere! "
"Hahaha, you are indeed very sincere! It's enough, old man! It's touching, but there's no need to go to such trouble. I have a private plane, so there's no need to arrange a special plane for escort!
When the time is determined to send this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" back to China, I will notify you. At that time, you can send people to New York to return to China with this set of thousand-year-old ancient books.
This day will come soon. To be honest, I am not very relieved to leave such a priceless treasure in the United States. If the United States suddenly gets crazy one day and imposes restrictions on departures, I will cry endlessly. Got it! "
"You are right, Americans have done this kind of thing before! You must be careful! The sooner you send that set of treasures back to the country, the better, so as to avoid long nights and dreams! We are waiting for your good news! "
Mr. Jin said excitedly, almost impatient.
After chatting with the old man for a few more words, Ye Tiancai hung up the phone and ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian began to explore the room and continued his performance.
As you can imagine, the result is nothing!
While talking, everyone has entered the last room, preparing to bring this treasure hunt to a successful conclusion and return in triumph!
The exploration operation started quickly, no different from before, with Ye Tian performing, Jason filming, and Betty and David acting as loyal audiences.
Within a few minutes, Ye Tian had explored most of the room and found nothing.
Just as he was walking towards the wall by the window, ready to explore there, the pleasant ringtone of his cell phone rang again.
The caller this time is grandpa, you must answer it!
The call was connected, and before Ye Tian had time to say hello, Grandpa asked with all his face:
"Xiaotian, a friend in the calligraphy industry called me just now and said that you have discovered the initial rubbing of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" from the early Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also a collection of the Zhao and Song royal families. Is it true? ? "
"Hey! You are really well-informed. Yes, I found this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" in a house I just bought. It is indeed the version from the early Northern Song Dynasty. It is a priceless treasure!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, a bit of pride in his tone.
"Well done! This is the real treasure! Listen to me, kid. I have only one request: send this set of initial rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" back to China and to Beijing!
If you kid dares to sell this set of thousand-year-old ancient books, be careful that I will discount your legs. Compared with this set of thousand-year-old ancient books, five hundred million dollars is nothing? Not worth mentioning at all! "
Grandpa said excitedly, his voice a little wavy.
"Okay! Just hold it up! I will definitely send this set of thousand-year-old books to you and place it on your desk for you to appreciate and appreciate! From now on, it will belong to you!"
Ye Tian agreed very simply, without any hesitation.
As a calligraphy enthusiast, Ye Tian knew very well what the initial rubbing of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" meant to his grandfather.
That is the supreme holy product! Nothing else can compare!
As early as the moment he discovered this set of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", Ye Tian had already thought about sending this set of thousand-year-old ancient books back to China and giving them to his grandfather!
Is there any better gift than this? Definitely no more!
