Chapter 1960 National Treasure Among National Treasures

"Of course you heard it right, Mr. Qian, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" indeed belongs to me, and the reason why I come to the China Pavilion now is to appreciate this national treasure.

After two or three days at the most, I will take this national treasure and other Chinese antique artworks exchanged, and fly directly to Beijing on an Air China chartered flight to transport them all back to China.

Before tomorrow's joint press conference, please keep it secret and don't leak this news, although it is irrelevant, but one more thing is worse than one less thing."

Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, his pride was beyond words.

Before his words fell, Mr. Qian grabbed his arm excitedly and said:

"It's great! Your kid is really great at this. This is a real national treasure. It's the dream of many Chinese people to bring this priceless treasure back to China. I didn't expect you, kid, to come true.

Undoubtedly, once the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" returns to China, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Let's make a deal, once this national treasure returns to China, we must lend it to the Shanghai Museum for a public exhibition for a few days, and we can also appreciate and study it, and you can open the loan exhibition conditions."

Ye Tian looked at the old man, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"I'm afraid this is useless, 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, which is already fragile. It is most taboo to move frequently, and every move is accompanied by huge risks.

After the deal with the British Museum was concluded, the reason why I didn’t take this priceless treasure immediately was out of this concern, so 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 safe and sound is also a headache for me. In the end, I decided to personally escort this priceless treasure back to the country. Even if I hold it with both hands, it must not be damaged in any way.

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, if I want to move it, I am afraid that it is not something I can decide alone, and it may require the approval of the Ministry of Culture.

It is simply impossible for your Shanghai Museum to borrow exhibitions. Not only you, but any other museum outside Beijing has no chance to borrow exhibitions. Neither I nor the Ministry of Culture can agree.

Although I can't agree to your request to borrow the exhibition, you can come to Beijing at any time to appreciate and study this national treasure, and you don't have to travel thousands of miles to London to see it, let alone ask the British."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Mr. Qian was silent for a moment and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he nodded excitedly and said:

"You're right, Ye Tian, ​​such an important national treasure with a history of more than a thousand years really cannot be moved frequently, it is very likely to cause irreparable huge losses, I was reckless.

When this national treasure returns to China, I will go to the Forbidden City to appreciate it as soon as possible, and then I must appreciate it, so that it will be enjoyable, and I will no longer be subject to such uselessness of the British.”

Next, Mr. Qian introduced several other old men.

They are all well-known top experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal in China, and they come from different museums or other cultural institutions.

In fact, most of these famous calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, Ye Tian, ​​knew each other, but they had never met in person.

After shaking hands with these people one by one and saying hello, Ye Tian said to them with a smile:

"All of you, please be patient for a few more days until the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" is safely shipped back to China, and you all will 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 a decision.

So I will not boast, and invite you all to enter the Stein's Chamber of Secrets. You all go to the China Pavilion to look around, and when I finish my work here, I will invite you all to have dinner together."

"Understood, then let's go look elsewhere and wait for your kid to finish. To be honest, we really want to hear your stories about exploring treasures. It must be very exciting."

Mr. Qian nodded with a smile and said, the expression of regret just now has been swept away, and his mood has become extremely happy.

As soon as his words fell, another well-known calligraphy and painting appraisal expert from Nanjing whispered:

"Ye Tian, ​​can you tell me that apart from Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty copy of "Nv Shi Zhen Tu", you have also traded those top Chinese antique works of art? Let us also be happy in advance."

Ye Tian looked at the old man, and then said triumphantly in a low voice:

"Everyone stand firm, I have also taken over 18,000 volumes of paintings and scriptures from the Dunhuang scripture cave, including half of the Dunhuang scriptures in the British Museum and all of the Dunhuang scriptures in the British Library.

In addition, there are forty-five volumes of "Yongle Canon" collected by the British Library, the earliest version of the Paramita Buddhist scriptures, the famous pair of blue and white standard vessels of the Yuan Dynasty "David vases", and the Ru kiln sky blue glazed bowls of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition to these, there are other priceless top Chinese antique works of art, such as the "Green Landscape Landscape" by Li Sixun, the ancestor of the "Northern School" and the famous painter of the Tang Dynasty, and the "Maolin Mountains and Mountains" by Juran of the Five Dynasties, etc.

Alright, let’s stop here first, and I’ll introduce you in detail after dinner tonight, all of you should be prepared, it’s best to bring Suxiao Jiuxin Pills to avoid accidents, see you later, I’ll go first.”

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the door of Stein's secret room, and soon joined Prince William and David.

Looking at the old men like Mr. Qian, they were completely dumbfounded, and they all stood there dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief and madness.

"More than 18,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Canon have been brought back by Ye Tian. How is this possible? I'm not dreaming, am I? Such a good thing, I don't even dare to dream about it!"

Mr. Qian muttered to himself, looking devastated.

The situation of the rest of the old men was not much better, they were all trembling with excitement, and they couldn't even stand steadily.

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 excitedly expressed emotion.

"Ye Tian's tricks are so powerful, it's unheard of. He ransacked the British Museum and the British Library together. It's too ruthless, but it's also extremely satisfying!"

"Who says it's not? If Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty copy of "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" and more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Canon can be safely returned to China, it will definitely cause a magnitude 10 earthquake. At that time, let me lead this kid's horse I am willing to fall into the stirrups"

After a few words of emotion from the old men, they turned around and left the door of Stein's secret room to visit other antique works of art displayed in the China Pavilion.

When they left here, each of them walked very briskly, as if they were dozens of years younger all of a sudden, and their youth returned to them.

At this time, in Stein's secret room, the lighting was extremely dim, and the lighting conditions were extremely poor, which was quite different from the lighting conditions in the exhibition hall outside.

Of course, this lighting condition is intentional, not because the British Museum can't afford the electricity bill, so it's like this.

This is to protect some antique works of art with a relatively long history, and try to prevent light from exposure to avoid major irreparable losses such as fading.

After entering the secret room, Ye Tian and the others first stood near the door for a while, and after adapting to the light conditions in the secret room, they walked towards the special display case where "The Picture of Female History Proverbs" was led by Fisher.

In order to protect the priceless treasure of "The Admonitions of the Female History", the British Museum specially built a set of special bulletproof glass display cabinets, and then put the "Admonitions of the Female History" flat in it for protection.

This bulletproof glass showcase not only has a constant temperature and humidity inside, but also has a blackout curtain on it, which completely covers the priceless treasure displayed in the showcase.

Only during one or two public exhibitions every year, the outside blackout curtain will be lifted, and the "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" in the showcase will be displayed in front of people.

Almost all the rest of the time, the blackout screen is drawn to protect that priceless item and extend its life as long as possible.

Of course, today is an exception.

The group of special showcases displaying the "Pictures of Female History's Proverbs" is in the middle of Stein's secret room, and there is also a distance from the door of the secret room to the front of this group of showcases.

On the way, Ye Tian and the others were not idle, they were all looking at this famous secret room.

As Ye Tian said, there are a large number of priceless top Chinese antique artworks stored in Stein's secret room.

Some of these Chinese antique artworks are placed in bulletproof glass showcases, some are placed on display racks, some are packed in boxes, and some are directly hung on the walls. The number is astonishing.

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 with curtains or wooden boxes of different sizes could not block his sight.

In his eyes, these top antique works of art from China all radiate colorful light and have layers of charming halos, which are fascinating to the eyes.

Looking at these priceless Chinese antique artworks through perspective, Ye Tian suddenly felt that he was still too soft-hearted, and that he was not cruel enough to slaughter the British!

Next time, if you have a chance, you must loot this place and keep all the Chinese antiques and artworks in your pocket, and don't leave any of them to the British!

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived at the special showcase displaying the "Pictures of Admonitions for Women's History".

After everyone stood still in front of the display case and confirmed that the light inside the secret room was suitable, Fisher immediately ordered the museum staff to open the black shading curtain covering the bulletproof glass display case.

Then, two museum staff members carefully opened the blackout curtain.

Following their actions, the priceless treasure in the display cabinet that had been lost overseas for more than a hundred years and that made all Chinese people dream of it finally appeared in front of Ye Tian.

Even Ye Tian, ​​who has been tested for a long time, has seen and handled a large number of top antique artworks, is extremely excited at this time, and his heartbeat is even much faster than usual.
