After dinner, David and Jason left and took a bus to the Wangfu Hotel not far away.
Cole and several armed security personnel stayed behind and followed his uncle to the guest room in the backyard, also known as the back room, where they would stay tonight.
Ye Tian and his family were sitting in the living room in the north room of the inner courtyard, laughing and chatting. The topic was a series of things that happened in the past period.
The speaker is naturally Ye Tian. Grandparents, parents, and other family members are all his most loyal listeners.
Unlike telling these stories to others, when telling them to his family, Ye Tian used as straightforward a narrative as possible to downplay the thrilling scenes so as not to worry his family members.
Even so, all the family members still felt nervous listening to his story, and exclamations kept coming from the living room.
When Ye Tian introduced that he had discovered the treasure and had collected the valuable gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts, bursts of cheers could be heard in the living room.
Especially when he introduced that he had exchanged a large number of national treasure-level antiques and artworks from famous British cultural institutions such as the British Museum and the British Library, the cheers reached their peak in an instant and resounded throughout the house!
More than half an hour passed quickly amid the laughter and laughter.
Everyone's topic has changed, and they are talking about Ye Tian and Betty's upcoming Chinese wedding in Beijing.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, have you decided on the date for the Chinese wedding? And the location for the wedding, at home or in a hotel? You decide, and Betty and I will execute it."
Ye Tian asked with a smile, looking at the family members present.
Hearing this, my father immediately looked at my mother and motioned for her to answer.
“The date is set, let’s set it on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. It will still be a holiday and everyone will have time to attend the wedding. There is no need to ask for leave. When you and Betty come back from New York, we will send out invitations.
There are two locations in total. The wedding ceremony will be held at the gate of this mansion. The people who come to attend the ceremony are also our relatives, friends and neighbors, as well as some of your friends.
Just book the banquet from a nearby restaurant or hotel, which will save you the trouble. As for your friends who collect antiques and art, and other friends, just receive them in the hotel."
My mother talked about the general arrangements for the wedding, and her eyes shone with excitement.
Can you not be excited? This is your son’s wedding, a lifelong event!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian chuckled, nodded and said:
"No problem, Mom, this is a good arrangement. You can do whatever you like. Betty and I are just two marionettes, at your command!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:
"One thing I want to say is that when I was in London before, considering that I got so many national treasure-level antiques and artworks back at once, the Shan Lao from the Forbidden City said that if I wanted to, my wedding with Betty could even be held in Taipei.
After returning to Beijing, Mr. Shan mentioned this matter again and said that if I am interested, they can apply to the relevant departments and I believe it will not be difficult to get approval. What do you think about this matter? That's the Hall of Supreme Harmony! ”
Before he finished speaking, the living room was already completely boiling, with exclamations ringing out one after another.
"Really or not, did I hear you correctly? Holding a wedding in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City is too exaggerated. Mr. Shan and the others are really willing to bear it, but they are really cheap!"
"If Xiaotian and Betty's Chinese-style wedding can really be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, although it is not unprecedented, it is likely to be unprecedented, and it will definitely cause a huge sensation."
Amidst the exclamations, Linlin, Chenxi, and Dongzi, these three little guys had already jumped up like an electric shock, dancing and shouting.
My mother was even more excited and could hardly sit still.
However, Grandpa and Dad fell silent and looked at each other.
Then, Grandpa shook his head slightly and said:
"Forget it, Xiaotian, this Chinese-style wedding will be held at our home. There is no need to be in the limelight. Your kid is already high-profile enough abroad. It is better to keep a low profile when you return to China."
Ye Tian naturally had no objection to his grandfather's words.
"Okay! Just listen to you, grandpa. In fact, I think so too. There is no need to be in the limelight. Besides, the weather is so cold now. It would be a lot of suffering to hold a wedding in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. Ah! ”
"Hey——!"
There was a sigh in the living room. Mom and the others were somewhat disappointed, but they soon felt relieved.
Next, Ye Tian continued to laugh and chat with his family, enjoying the warm family affection.
At this time, the night was getting darker and darker, and a waning moon hung in the sky, spreading the cold moonlight all over the capital!
The weather outside has become colder, but the gate of this mansion in Lishi Hutong is filled with deep family affection and is as warm as spring!
……
There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning.
After breakfast, Ye Tian left the big house with his parents and went straight to his grandma's house in Haidian District.
Although I came back in a hurry this time and will leave Beijing soon, I must go to my grandma’s house, otherwise I will be in trouble!
What follows is naturally a series of warm and touching scenes.
It wasn't until noon, after lunch, that Ye Tianfang left his grandma's house and drove to the Forbidden City.
Inside the Forbidden City, a large group of top antique art appraisal experts, well-known experts and scholars studying Dunhuang studies, and several senior officials from the Ministry of Culture and related departments were waiting for him eagerly.
After arriving at the Forbidden City and meeting everyone, Ye Tian led these people to the vault where more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures, as well as other top-notch calligraphy and painting works of art and rare ancient books were stored.
While traveling, Ye Tian whispered his decision to Mr. Shan, saying that he did not plan to use the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City to hold his and Betty's Chinese wedding, and it would be better to keep a low profile.
However, he also thanked Mr. Shan for his kindness and told this familiar old man that his and Betty's Chinese wedding would be held on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year at the gate of his mansion.
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Mr. Shan looked at him carefully up and down as if he didn't know him, and felt very surprised.
The kid in front of me is famous for being high-profile! Why did he feel like he was a new person after one night? He actually chose to keep a low profile and let go of this opportunity to be in the limelight.
Although he was surprised, Shan Lao didn't say much. Of course, what he said was of no use.
While he was talking, a familiar senior official from the Ministry of Culture suddenly came to Ye Tian and whispered to him:
"Ye Tian, we very much welcome and support your building a private museum in Beijing. This is a good thing that has all the benefits but no harm, and can make Beijing's cultural atmosphere stronger!
Where did you decide to build this private museum? Have you thought about this? Do you have a favorite location? Are you planning to use an existing building and renovate it, or are you planning to build a new building entirely? ”
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and whispered:
"Thank you for your concern. You are right. My building a new private museum in Beijing will indeed be beneficial and harmless. It will not only make Beijing more culturally rich, but also make Beijing more beautiful. More diverse.
We have not yet decided on the location of this private museum, but I hope it will be best along Chang'an Avenue within the Second Ring Road, so that it can echo and complement each other with the National Museum and the Forbidden City.
I haven't decided whether to use the existing building to renovate it or build a new modern museum building. It depends on the specific situation, but I prefer to add a new landmark building to Beijing!
I can pay for the land to build a private museum. As long as the location is ideal, the price is not a problem. In this way, I can also use up some cash in my hand to avoid being robbed by the vultures of the IRS."
"Hey——! You have great ambitions! If you can add a new landmark cultural and museum building to Beijing, that would be great. We are happy to see it happen and we support it with both hands!"
The senior official from the Ministry of Culture nodded excitedly and said, and Mr. Shan's eyes shone with excitement.
While they were talking, the group of them had already arrived at the door of the vault.
Next, everyone walked into the preparation room and all put on protective clothing and gloves.
After everything was ready, Ye Tian just opened the safe with constant temperature and humidity, took everyone inside, and began to appreciate the Dunhuang scriptures, rare ancient books, and top-notch calligraphy and paintings that had just returned to China!
