"Of course you heard it right, Mr. Qian, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions of Women's History" does belong to me. Now the reason why I come to the China Pavilion is to appreciate this national treasure.
In two or three days at most, I will take this national treasure and other exchanged Chinese antiques and artworks with me and fly directly to Beijing on an Air China charter flight to transport them all back to China.
Before the joint press conference tomorrow, please keep it secret and don’t leak this news. Although it is irrelevant, one more thing is worse than one less thing."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, feeling proud beyond words.
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Qian grabbed his arm excitedly and said:
"Awesome! You guys have done a great job in this matter. This is a real national treasure. It is the dream of many Chinese people to bring this priceless treasure back to the country. I didn't expect it to be realized by you guys.
There is no doubt that once the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Programs of Women's History" returns to China, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. It is definitely the most important return of Chinese antique art in the past few decades and is unparalleled.
We have agreed that once this national treasure returns to China, it must be lent to us in the Shanghai Museum for public display for a few days. We can also appreciate and study it. The conditions for the loan are whatever you want."
Ye Tian looked at the old man, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid there's no chance of this, Mr. Qian, as you know, this is a national treasure with a history of more than a thousand years, and it is a silk painting. It has long been fragile. It is most taboo to move it frequently. Every move is accompanied by a huge impact.
After reaching the deal with the British Museum, the reason why I did not take away this priceless treasure immediately was because of this concern. I had to temporarily store it in the museum and take it away when I left London and returned to Beijing.
How to bring this priceless treasure back safely and unharmed also gave me a headache. Finally, I decided to personally **** this priceless treasure back to the country. Even if I hold it with both hands, I must not let it suffer any damage.
After returning to Beijing, this national treasure will be displayed in my personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City. I will improve the best display and preservation conditions for this priceless treasure, and the Forbidden City will fully cooperate.
As long as this priceless treasure returns to China, even if it belongs to me and is displayed in my personal exhibition hall, moving it may not be something I can decide on my own, and it will probably require a nod from the Ministry of Culture.
It is simply impossible for the Shanghai Museum to borrow the exhibition. Not only you, but also any museum outside Beijing will have no chance of borrowing the exhibition. Neither I nor the Ministry of Culture will agree.
Although I cannot agree to your request to borrow the exhibition, you can come to Beijing at any time to appreciate and study this national treasure. You no longer have to travel all the way to London to see it, let alone ask the British."
After hearing what Ye Tian said, Mr. Qian suddenly fell silent and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he nodded excitedly and said:
"You are right, Ye Tian. Such a national treasure with a history of more than a thousand years cannot be moved frequently. It is likely to cause huge irreparable losses. I was reckless.
When this national treasure comes back to China, I will rush to the Forbidden City to appreciate it as soon as possible. I will appreciate it thoroughly when the time comes. That will be enjoyable, and I will no longer suffer from the cowardice of the British."
Next, Mr. Qian introduced several other old men, all of whom are well-known top calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in the country. They come from different museums or other cultural institutions.
In fact, most of these famous calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, Ye Tian, know each other, but they have never met in person.
After shaking hands and greeting these people one by one, Ye Tian said to them with a smile:
"Please be patient for a few more days, and wait until the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions of Women's History" is safely shipped back to China. Then you can go to the Forbidden City in Beijing to appreciate this priceless treasure and have a good time.
There are a large number of priceless Chinese antiques and artworks stored in Stein's secret room. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and this is the British Museum, so I can't make the decision.
So I won’t brag about Haikou and invite you to enter Stein’s Secret Room. You will first go to the China Pavilion to look around. When I finish the things here, I will invite you all to have dinner together."
"Understood, then let's go look elsewhere first and wait for you to finish. To be honest, we really want to hear your stories about exploring treasures. It must be very exciting"
Mr. Qian smiled and nodded. The regretful expression just now was gone, and his mood became extremely happy.
As soon as he finished speaking, another famous calligraphy and painting appraisal expert from Nanjing whispered:
"Ye Tian, can you reveal that in addition to the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "The Picture of Women's History", you have also traded in those top-notch Chinese antique artworks? Let us be happy in advance."
Ye Tian looked at the old man, and then whispered proudly:
"Stand firm, everyone. I have also obtained more than 18,000 scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, including half of the Dunhuang Scripture Collection in the British Museum and the Dunhuang Scripture Collection in the British Library.
In addition, there are forty-five volumes of the "Yongle Dadian" collected by the British Library, the earliest version of the Paramita Sutra, the famous pair of Yuan blue and white standard vessels 'Daweide Vase', and the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln azure glaze bowl .
In addition to these, there are other priceless top-notch Chinese antique artworks, such as "Green Landscape" by Li Sixun, the famous painter of the Tang Dynasty and the ancestor of the "Beizong", and "Mao Lin Mountains" by Ju Ran of the Five Dynasties, etc. wait.
Okay, let’s stop here. I’ll introduce it to you in detail after dinner tonight. You should be prepared. It’s best to bring Suxiajiuxin Pills to avoid accidents. See you later. I’ll go there first. "
After saying that, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the door of Stein's secret room, and soon met Prince William and David.
Looking at Mr. Qian and the other old men, they were completely stunned. They were all stunned on the spot, their eyes full of disbelief and madness.
"More than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures have been brought back by this boy Ye Tian. How is this possible? Am I not dreaming? I don't even dare to dream about such a good thing!"
Mr. Qian muttered to himself, looking lost.
The situation of the other old men was not much better. They were all shaking with excitement and could not stand firmly.
It wasn't until Ye Tian and his group walked into Stein's secret room that Mr. Qian and the others woke up.
Immediately afterwards, these old men sighed excitedly.
"Ye Tian's methods are so powerful, it's almost unheard of. Together with him, he ransacked the British Museum and the British Library like crazy. It was so cruel, but it was also extremely satisfying!"
"Who says otherwise? If Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty copy of "The Picture of Women's History" and more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures can return home safely, it will definitely trigger a strong earthquake of magnitude 10. By then, let me give this The boy is willing to lead the horse and drop the stirrup"
After several old men expressed some emotion, they turned and left the door of Stein's secret room to visit other antiques and artworks displayed in the China Museum.
When they left here, each of them walked extremely briskly, as if they were dozens of years younger all of a sudden, and their youth had returned to them.
At this time, the lights in Stein's secret room were extremely dim and the lighting conditions were extremely poor, which was very different from the lighting conditions in the exhibition hall outside.
Of course, this kind of lighting condition is deliberate. It is not that the British Museum cannot afford the electricity bill, so it is like this.
This is to protect some older antique artworks and try to prevent them from being exposed to light to avoid irreparable major losses such as fading.
After entering the secret room, Ye Tian and the others first stood near the door for a while, waiting for them to adapt to the light conditions in the secret room. Then, under the leadership of Fisher, they walked towards the special display cabinet displaying the "Proverbs of Women's History" go.
In order to protect the priceless treasure "Pictures of Proverbs of Women's History", the British Museum specially built a set of special bulletproof glass display cabinets, and then placed "Pictures of Proverbs of Women's History" flatly in it for protection.
This bulletproof glass display cabinet not only has a constant temperature and humidity inside, but also has a layer of light-shielding curtains on it, which completely covers the priceless treasure displayed in the display cabinet.
Only when it is on public display once or twice a year, the external blackout curtain will be lifted, and the "Proverbs of Women's History" in the display cabinet will be displayed in front of people's eyes.
Nearly all the rest of the time, the blackout curtain is closed to protect the priceless piece and prolong its life as long as possible.
Of course, today is an exception.
This special group of display cabinets displaying the "Pictures of Women's History" is in the middle of Stein's secret room. There is a certain distance from the door of the secret room to this group of display cabinets.
During the journey, Ye Tian and the others were not idle, they were all looking at this famous secret room.
As Ye Tian said, Stein's secret room contains a large number of priceless top-notch Chinese antiques and artworks.
Some of these Chinese antique works of art are placed in bulletproof glass display cases, some are placed on display racks, some are packed in boxes, and some are hung directly on the wall. The number is amazing.
Although the lights in the secret room were dim, in Ye Tian's eyes, it was no different from the exhibition hall outside. Even those display cabinets covered with curtains or wooden boxes of different sizes could not block his view.
In his eyes, these top antique works of art from China all radiate with colorful light and have layers of charming halo, which is fascinating.
Looking at these priceless Chinese antiques and artworks through perspective, Ye Tian suddenly felt that he was still too merciful and merciless, and he still didn't kill the British hard enough!
If you still have a chance next time, you must loot this place and take all the Chinese antiques and art into your own pocket, leaving none for the British!
While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at the special display cabinet displaying the "Proverbs of Women's History".
After everyone stood in front of the display cabinet and made sure that the light inside the secret room was suitable, Fisher immediately ordered the museum staff to open the black blackout curtain covering the bulletproof glass display cabinet.
Then, two museum staff carefully opened the blackout curtain.
Following their actions, the priceless treasure in the display cabinet, which had been lost overseas for more than a hundred years and had haunted all Chinese people, finally appeared in front of Ye Tian.
Even Ye Tian, who has been tested for a long time and has seen and handled a large number of top antiques and artworks, was extremely excited at this time, and his heartbeat was even much faster than usual.
