Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 833 The statue of Empress Wu Zetian, this is a treasure
"We didn't recognize it, this thing is a defective product!"

After half an hour, the people of Xingstripes finally gave up and returned the glazed Buddha statue to the table.

"Professor Tang, can you..."

"No."

Tang Qisheng interrupted the news: "This is Xia Guo's stuff, it is impossible to pass it on to you, don't worry about it. But you lost, have you figured out what reward you should pay?"

A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Old Barley's forehead.

"protocol……"

"Want to repent?"

"No, it's just that you didn't tell us what's going on with this glazed Buddha, why isn't it a complete product?"

Tang Qisheng looked at Ning Fan and nodded, putting on airs.

"Firing glazed glass itself is extremely difficult, even glazed tiles have a very high failure rate, not to mention this multi-colored glazed Buddha statue with fine shapes, you don't need to think about it to know that it is spliced, otherwise there will be records in the book. "

"why?"

Old Barre and others subconsciously asked.

Tang Qisheng was obviously taken aback, and it took a while to realize what the problem was.

The Stars and Stripes Country does not have such a long history, so there are no cultural relics recorded in the so-called history books.

This is perfectly reflected in these Stars and Stripes experts.

"It's something you don't have, and you won't understand it even if you talk about it." Tang Qisheng said vaguely.

"Then this item is pasted with special glue?"

"uncertain."

Tang Qisheng avoided the question and did not answer.

The Stars and Stripes stared at Tang Qisheng and things, pursed their lips, there was nothing they could do.

After a few minutes, get out of the way.

"Professor Tang, thank you for your reminder and this knowledge, we will act according to the agreement, and you can leave too."

This was the official order to evict guests. Ning Fan raised his eyebrows, but gave Tang Qisheng a look without saying a word.

"Then let's choose the reward."

"it is good."

Old Barley asked someone to follow Tang Qisheng and the others to the exhibition hall and warehouse to pick out items.

"He didn't come with him, isn't he afraid that we might miss it?" Wang Duoyu asked curiously.

"Even if the Metropolitan Museum sends out more than a dozen items, there will be no problem, let alone the cost of restoration. Why worry about leaking?"

"Then their reaction is a little abnormal."

"It's normal."

There was a smile in the corner of Ning Fan's eyes: "Didn't you notice the medicine that Professor Tang dropped on the table just now?"

"They're working on this?"

Wang Duoyu's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Old Tang, this can't be a real potion, can it?"

"Of course not." Tang Qisheng walked beside the two of them: "Master Ning told me earlier that I prepared that drop according to strong acid. If they research it fast enough, most of the cultural relics in the museum may be lost."

"Draw the bottom of the pot! Absolutely!" Wang Duoyu sighed, but suddenly thought of something, "Will this affect our cultural relics?"

"They will definitely use cultural relics from the Xia Kingdom, especially glazed wares, as the first batch of test cultural relics."

Tang Qisheng sighed: "Master Ning has already told me about this point, wealth and wealth are in danger."

"What do you mean?"

"Coercion!"

Ban Liangjin reacted, his eyes lit up.

"It's like Master Ning restoring cultural relics to the Eastern Kingdom. If only we can repair these cultural relics, the relationship between supply and demand will change."

Wang Duoyu was silent for a long time, shaking his head again and again: "It's crazy! If this is lost, it will be the loss of thousands, or even tens of thousands of cultural relics of the Xia Kingdom!"

"But what's the difference between now and loss?" Ban Liangjin asked rhetorically.

"Too."

Wang Duoyu sighed and stopped talking about this matter.

"Then what cultural relics are we going to pick now?"

"Let's take a look first, don't worry, we are going to see the Metropolitan Museum anyway."

Ning Fan whispered a few words, Tang Qisheng nodded, stopped and waved: "Hello."

"Professor Tang, have you chosen?"

"No." Tang Qisheng shook his head seriously: "We want to listen to the introduction and visit the Metropolitan Museum, is that okay?"

Although it was an inquiry, it didn't mean to discuss at all.

The accompanying museum staff hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.

"As you can see, here is the largest item in the Metropolitan Museum..."

When the not-so-bad introduction sounded, Tang Qisheng and the others nodded and followed behind for a tour.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into someone head-on, lost his mind, with a cowhide file box in his hand, it was Duan Ping who was taken away just now.

"Tang Qisheng!"

Duan Ping glanced over, gritted his teeth, and stared at the few people.

"Coincidentally, you are also visiting here?"

Let me repeat what I just said.

"You caused me to lose my job and my visa! You are not human! You have done all kinds of bad things!"

"Yes, that would be really great."

The corners of Tang Qisheng's eyes were filled with smiles, and he tried his best to calm down the corners of his lips: "You are definitely welcome in China, and I hope you can return to China..."

"Dreaming!" Duan Ping roared: "After I get used to living here, I never want to go back and be like you!"

Ning Fan frowned and didn't speak.

Wang Duoyu silently sent a message.

"I want you to know and regret what a genius you let go!"

"Ding!"

Before Duan Ping's voice fell, the phone's notification sounded.

Looking intently, within two seconds, he laughed and threw everything away.

"Luther! Trash! A bunch of pigs! Do you know what this is! Tang Qisheng! And your students, let me show you what this is!"

Duan Ping held up the phone to display the information on it.

"This is a job invitation from the Harvard Oriental Art Museum. They need an outstanding talent like me to serve as the head of the Oriental Art Museum for them!"

"really not bad."

Tang Qisheng listened to Wang Duoyu's voice, and said with a smile on his face.

"Are you envious? This is an opportunity that you will never get in your life, you know? It is only possible here!"

Duan Ping kicked the box flying, let the contents fall, turned and walked out of the museum without looking back.

“Fack Metropolitan Museum!”

A proud curse came from afar.

"That's why he believed it?" Tang Qisheng was stunned, his face full of shock.

"Do you know what he's doing?" The staff responsible for showing Tang Qisheng and the others looked surprised.

The conversations just now were all in Chinese, so it's normal for the people of the Stars and Stripes to not know.

"This is a very complicated matter." Tang Qi looked at him and said seriously: "Of course, a long story can be shortened..."

"Walter?"

After hearing all the news, Duan Ping was also stunned, not understanding.

"He saw an admission information you guys sent out as a joke, and he is going to report to Harvard?"

"From the results, it seems to be what you said."

"Hoohoho!"

Laughter resounded throughout the museum.

The staff who seemed to be coping just now suddenly became enthusiastic.

"I can't wait to see what he looks like when he knows the news is fake. I'm going to have my friends at Harvard broadcast it live for me."

He took out his mobile phone and operated it, and then looked at Tang Qisheng after a while.

"Professor Tang, I'm sorry, I'm too fascinated."

"It's okay, let's start now?"

"no problem!"

The staff nodded deeply, and introduced the cultural relics in the collection again. The difference was that this time they were much more serious, and even revealed the value of the cultural relics.

"This is an authentic work of Picasso. It was specially sent to Europe for appraisal because of the signature problem. Later, the estimated price is around [-] million US dollars."

"And this one, although it's an inconspicuous pipe, it was left by the great writer Hemingway, and there are bloodstains on it when he drank the bomb. It can be sold for tens of millions of dollars in the hands of some collectors."

"This! You should all know this. It is a cultural relic of the Xia Kingdom, the three-color Arhat statue. I don't know the value. After all, no one has auctioned it. I have to say that your name is too awkward."

"The puppet on the chessboard, the chess pieces on it can still be pushed, this craftsmanship is too delicate."

The employees of the Stars and Stripes introduced excitedly, and seemed to have forgotten that his task was to prevent Tang Qisheng and the others from obtaining good cultural relics as much as possible.

……

"It's probably these things. I can't say more about the specifics in the warehouse. You need to pick and choose."

"You don't know what's inside?" Tang Qisheng asked curiously.

"Yes, most of the things in it are unclassified and don't know the source, so I didn't study it."

"Okay, thank you, then we will choose by ourselves here."

Tang Qisheng thanked him politely, with an indelible smile hidden under his smile.

This is a natural place to pick up leaks. If Master Ning is not allowed to make a move, it will be a pity to Ning Fan.

"Master Ning!"

The three looked at Ning Fan together.

"it is good."

Ning Fan nodded and led them into the warehouse.

There is nothing wrong with the environment, and there is a slightly musty smell in the air.

"It's been a long time since anyone touched anything inside."

"Tch, I thought they had some good means of preservation, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Wang Duoyu scanned the storage space in front of him, showing disdain.

Several large cabinets are placed on the side, and there is a box-type transparent display cabinet in the middle, without too many fancy protections, just pure protection.

It's just that the items in the middle are all damaged, as if waiting to be selected and repaired here, but there are some complete cultural relics on the side.

"Maybe they didn't think there was any need for protection here anymore."

Ning Fan thinks this is normal, after all, this is already the core and inner part of the Metropolitan Museum.

Just getting in requires three passwords and a lock, and it doesn't make any sense to add additional protection measures, so it's better to leave it like this.

"Master Ning, is there anything good for you?"

Tang Qisheng was a little excited when he looked at the furnishings inside.

He could see that many remnants were dated before the Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't put them together quickly.

Metal, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, silk...

The things scattered on the cabinet can't see the clues of putting them together.

"Have."

Ning Fan's eyes fell on a profile portrait, and he suddenly laughed.

"This, you can take it away!"

"Portrait? Wood carving?"

A few people looked over, but they couldn't be sure when they saw the material.

Wang Duoyu's face changed when he touched it: "This is made of ceramics."

"how come?"

Tang Qisheng couldn't believe it, so he stepped forward to confirm it himself.

"It's warm, smooth, and flat. It's not made of wood, but the grain of wood is definitely formed naturally... Wait!"

Tang Qisheng's eyes lit up, and he called out, "Muhuayu! This is Muhuayu!"

"how is this possible?"

Not only Wang Duoyu, but even Banliangjin was stunned.

Muhuayu is a crystal-clear silicified wood that is buried in the ground and formed after years of changes.

It has the shape of wood, but it is real jade, which is a unique existence in the collection field.

It's just that the largest wooden jade found in the past is no more than one foot square, and it is considered heaven-defying if it can be one and a half feet square.

The damaged wooden jade in front of me is half a person tall, and the transparency of the whole body has completely reached the water head of the jade. Under the light, you can even see the internal growth rings and trunk fiber channels.

It was the first time for Tang Qisheng and the others to see this quality of wooden jade.

"Master Ning, this thing can't simply be wood jade?"

"of course not."

Ning Fan nodded, there is no simple word in the things he likes!
[Buddha statues in Wu Zetian Mingtang in the Tang Dynasty were carved from a whole piece of wood-like jade, which is Wu Zetian's own appearance, combining the characteristics of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, and emperor. It is a peerless sculpture of a human figure. 】

[The portrait is damaged, the annual rings and catheters on the body can be displayed in the water, just like the meridians of the human body...]

Not to mention anything else, just saying that Wu Zetian was made by a craftsman according to his own appearance, the value of this statue is enough to defy the sky.

With the subsequent description and explanation, it is completely inestimable existence.

"Master Ning?"

Wang Duoyu's voice awakened Ning Fan.

He nodded and told them how special this portrait was.

"Done! Just him!"

"Such a good thing must be sent back for research!"

"I'll carry it away."

"Slower."

Ning Fan stopped the three of them and pointed at the debris on the table again.

"The Buddha's head is still inside, what are you going to do with the body?"

"Can you still spell it out?"

Everyone looked sideways.

There are more than a thousand fragments of cultural relics placed on the table in front of me. At a rough look, there may be tens of thousands of pieces, and they are layered on top of each other.

In this case, it is extremely difficult to pick out the fragments made of woody jade, and how can it be possible to piece together a complete thing.

"Why don't you pack these things and take them away?"

As soon as Wang Duoyu finished speaking, he saw a few people handing over a look, are you crazy?

Hastily withdrew the proposal and dared not bring it up again.

"Go over there and clean up the table."

Ning Fan ordered, regardless of their actions, he stepped forward and started picking.

With a glance just now, he has basically confirmed the condition of the cultural relics above, and now he only needs to find the fragments that he can see.

In ten minutes, Ning Fan returned to the table.

"Find it."

The desktop has been cleaned up.

Hearing this, everyone gathered around to watch.

There are hundreds of small stone flakes in the basket, some of which can be matched in thickness and color, while others are not matched at all.

"Are there any problems with these?"

Tang Qisheng picked up a few articles that were obviously in the wrong color and asked.

"No, these are tiaras, made of agate, not the same material as this one."

Ning Fan found fragments of other colors and put them together to form a crown.

"Absolutely! Wooden jade statues, agate crowns, these things are really treasures!"
