My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 265 The history of India being ravaged by foreigners
Seeing Liu Shijun's mournful face, Chen Siguo asked inexplicably, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "This calligraphy is the work of Wang Xizhi, the national calligrapher, don't you know? If it is genuine, tsk tsk! It will be lively. Wait a while, the national officials will come to talk to your family. It is genuine, and the country will buy it back.”

Ah!
Chen Siguo was completely shocked.

Officials from the motherland come to talk?

He didn't dare to make decisions about this matter, so he quickly called his father in the hospital.

In fact, he wanted to say, he really couldn't understand this calligraphy, how did he know it was Wang Xizhi's work!

This is a cursive script, and only a few characters on it can be recognized.

Father Chen, who was far away in the hospital and was urging the hospital to arrange his wife's surgery and other matters, was shocked for a long time after receiving the call and listening to his son's words.

That teapot was sold for 1000 million RMB, more than 100 million Euros.

What's even more unbelievable is that his home actually hides the works of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. What did the ancestors do?At this moment, Father Chen couldn't help but be grateful to his ancestors for leaving these treasures to future generations, blessing the descendants.

Since it was an official from the motherland, he had to be present, let the hospital arrange the best nurses to take care of his wife, and hurried home by himself.

Mr. Zhao and the others arrived first.

I saw that the calligraphy was Wang Xizhi's famous cursive script - "Chuyue Tie", with a length of 26.3 cm, a width of 32 cm, 8 lines, and 61 characters.It is full of ancient meaning, powerful in writing, smooth in energy, free and easy in writing, and has a majestic spirit.

"Chuyue Tie" in domestic collection museums is a copy of Tang Dynasty, and it is not Wang Xizhi's authentic work at all.

Mr. Zhao and the others are working hard to make an appraisal. Judging by this posture, they are not going to participate in the auction.Cui Mingzhu went to the auction site to participate in the auction, but it was already very safe.

Liu Shijun secretly asked Fang Xing: "Brother, do you think this work is real?"

Chen Siguo beside him also pricked up his ears. Although he didn't understand it very well, he also knew the preciousness of this work, which had already alarmed the officials of the motherland.

"More than [-]%, the paper should be before the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, although the Tang Dynasty copied many calligraphy works from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were very successful. But people in the Tang Dynasty usually disdain to use old paper to copy and make fakes." Fang Xing said.

That's right!Tang Dynasty people are so proud.

With so many people coming to Chen Si's country, they naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors.

The people from Ba Tie's family next door couldn't help but come over to watch the excitement.

After all, it's Batie!Coupled with the good relationship with Chen Siguo, no one stopped them from watching the fun.

The Zainab family was happy for them when they learned that the heirlooms of the Chen family had sold for a lot of money.

Not only did Mr. Zhao do the appraisal by himself, but he even had someone take photos and fax them back to China, so that other domestic appraisal masters could also participate, and they kept talking on the phone.

After Chen's father came back, one of the accompanying directors communicated with Chen's father.

"Uncle Chen, if this calligraphy is genuine, it will be great!" Fang Xing said to him.

Father Chen had a good impression of the other party and woke up a few people, and nodded with a smile: "It's thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know that the things passed down from our ancestors are so precious."

Congratulations to Brother Ba Tie, Father Chen did not look down on others because of his family's sudden wealth, and his attitude remained the same.

Fang Xing saw them exchanging greetings, but he didn't bother him. He inadvertently saw Ba Tie kid holding a dagger-like short knife with a scabbard in his hand. The handle and scabbard seemed to be inlaid with colorful jewel-like things.

So, he beckoned: "Little guy, show me the knife."

Father Chen thought of something, and quickly translated it to his good friend.

Uncle Ba Tie immediately snatched the dagger from his son, and handed it to Fang Xing respectfully.

"Hey! There's something wrong with this knife!" Liu Shijun said.

Fang Xing looked at it for a while and said: "It should be an object from the Mughal Dynasty. The ones inlaid on the handle and scabbard are gemstones, the green ones are emeralds, and the red ones are rubies.

Unfortunately, the particles of gemstones are not large. "

The Mughals were a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India by the Turkic menggu people.

Some people may be surprised: India was ruled by menggu people?

In fact, India was ruled by foreigners for a long time, and it was almost ravaged by turns, much worse than ancient China.

Soon after the ancient Indian civilization waned, the Aryans from the north invaded.In order to rule the indigenous Indians who accounted for the vast majority of the population, the Aryans brought Brahmanism and the caste system, and the Aryans who invaded were high castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas.

The Indian aborigines belong to low castes such as Vaisya and Sudra. Besides the four castes, a large number of Indian aborigines have also been reduced to Dalits, which is the so-called untouchable class.

This caste system has always affected India today.

After the Aryans integrated into India, the Persian Empire rose again and became the new master of India.

After the Persians, the Macedonians came again. Alexander the Great, who conquered the whole of Persia, sent his army to India, and India became a vassal of the Alexander Empire.

After the collapse of the Alexander Empire, the Indian people finally ushered in a rare period of independence. The Mauryan Dynasty was established, and the famous monarch Ashoka almost unified the entire Indian subcontinent, which was basically unified for the first time in Indian history.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Just over 100 years later, the Maurya Dynasty perished, and the Daxia people, the Saizhong people, the Anxi people, and the Da Yuezhi people invaded one after another.

It's so miserable, it seems that any country can step on it.

In the days that followed, the White Huns, Rajputs, Central Asian Turks...

Until modern times, Western colonists such as the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, and the British came to India to colonize one after another.

Even the Japanese hit their doorstep.

From ancient times to the present, most of India's history is a history of being ruled.

If India has a history of 5000 years, then it has been ruled by foreigners for more than 4000 years.

"Not bad! It's worth 30 euros." Liu Shijun gave an estimate.

Chen's father hurriedly translated for the Ba Tie brothers. His family is rich, and he also hopes that his good friend's family can also become rich.

Uncle Ba Tie's face was ecstatic, and he said something, but he couldn't understand, and Father Chen helped to translate it.

"He said he wanted to sell it to you, do you want it?"

Fang Xing didn't speak. Liu Shijun has always been keen on this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "No problem! Actually, if you take this knife to auction, it may fetch a higher price."

After all, the price of this kind of foreign antique cultural relics will generally be lowered by the Chinese when they buy them.

Father Chen chatted with Uncle Ba Tie again, and finally said: "He said he will sell it to you."

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Uncle Ba Tie is very grateful, 30 euros is also a huge sum of money for his family.

On Mr. Zhao's side, there is basically a definite result.

"Mr. Chen, after the appraisal of our experts, this is the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy. Now, let's discuss the specific acquisition matters! Do you have a psychological price?" The director negotiated.
