Manor Romance

Chapter 300 Mona Lisa
Gu Minglan smiled and explained: "Our Southwest Museum can be regarded as a provincial and municipal level. The collections of all the exhibitions are the best of the best. The number does not represent the strength and influence. Some have biological exhibition halls. There are tens of thousands of specimens alone, so there is nothing to worry about, since there are specialties in the surgery industry."

"That's right, Aunt Lan's museum is not as bad as you said. She strives for excellence, and there is no shaming at all." Lu Ci also helped to say that everyone has been very depressed recently, and it is rare to come out. Her mood It also got better.

"Where's Uncle Jun, didn't we make an appointment together? Why didn't you see him?" Yun Li gave the two of them an expression of knowing their mistake, and then asked about Li Jun's situation.

"He is preparing for something, and it may not be ready so soon. When he calls, let's go there. I will show you around first. Why don't you bring Xiaoya that girl here this time? I still think she must I'll like it here." Gu Minglan responded, and also asked about Xiaoya's situation.

"We have to live together once in a while. This time, we came out without telling her. You must not report it." Speaking of this issue, Yun Li immediately vaccinated her so that he would not go back to him tonight. Neither Lu Ci nor Lu Ci slept well.

"I understand, I understand. This is the oil painting gallery. There are collections of works by many famous artists at home and abroad. One of them is an early manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of the European Renaissance. It is very rare to hang there. "The three of them came to an exhibition hall with strong colors and artistic atmosphere. Various paintings and exhibits were hung or placed in the glass booths around them, which made people dizzy. Gu Minglan introduced them to them.

The three of them came to this handed down work. The picture scroll described a rural scene. In fact, neither Yunli nor Lu Ci had the ability to appreciate it, but Yunli could tell from the year that it should be the authentic work of this master. It is indeed the best of the best.

"That one is the treasure of your town hall, but as far as I know, it should be in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Why did it come here? Could it be a fake?" Lu Ci couldn't appreciate this art, but soon found something that interested her, and asked while pointing to another oil painting not far away.

The oil painting she was referring to depicted a fat woman in black gauze with a smile on her face. Her hands were folded flat on her knees, her expression was peaceful, but it also gave off an inexplicable sense of mystery. It is estimated that few people have not seen this painting, and few people have not heard of its name. This is the highest artistic achievement of Leonardo da Vinci, and it can be regarded as the most outstanding masterpiece in world painting art. There should be no such thing as "one of "Yes, this painting is the "Mona Lisa".

"It is an imitation of a cutting-edge painter in our country in the early years. It may look intuitively that it is not much different from the Mona Lisa you have seen before, and the degree of simulation is very high. But if you compare it with the original, you will find that The painter’s intention was to orient the Mona Lisa’s manner and behavior, and incorporate the unique beauty of oriental women. Although this is just an imitation, it is also a rare work in terms of artistic value, at least It has its own attitude and thoughts in similar imitation works." Gu Minglan introduced them in detail.

"Listen to what you said, if I have a chance, I will seriously compare it with the original work. The characters in such a work should not be unknown?" Yun Li went to appreciate the painting according to Gu Minglan's introduction. The same feeling, an expert is indeed an expert, he became interested in this matter, and asked about the author's situation with great interest.

"It's a pity that the author passed away for many years, and he died young. He also has another painting called "Guantao", which is now in the Central Museum. It is also a rare oil painting. If you have a chance, You can go and have a look." Gu Minglan continued to explain.

"Well, since we have plans to build an exhibition hall, when the time is right, we will travel around. Whether it is the Louvre in Paris or the British Museum, I have plans to visit these places." Yun Li couldn't help He nodded and said, he was not in a hurry to ask for Lu Ci's opinion when he was speaking.

Lu Ci was naturally full of joy when he heard this. His parents' wish was also to open such an exhibition hall. She had this mission to fulfill for them, so that she and Yunli could travel around the world without any worries. What she yearns for, but when she thinks about the current situation in the manor, she can't bring it up, so she only responds with a forced smile from Yunli.

"You should go out and walk more. Some things have to be experienced before you can have a deep understanding. Recalling that when we were young, our parents encouraged us to go out more, and drove us away if we didn't want to go. Now thinking about it, there are still many benefits." Gu Minglan also encouraged.

Then they toured the exhibition hall by exhibition hall. Since it was not a holiday and the weather was not very good today, there were not many tourists in the museum. They walked very smoothly along the way and visited most of the Southwest Museum.

Not long after, Li Jun called. Under the guidance of Gu Minglan, they came to the office area behind the collection hall, passed through a small bamboo forest, and finally came to a small elegant residence. Li Jun and the other two Individuals are already there waiting.

After greeting, Li Jun introduced to Yunli and Lu Ci: "This is the curator of the Southwest Museum, Mr. Wei Bai, the president of the Southwest Cultural Development Association, and this is Ms. Hong Xiuxiu, the deputy curator. There is also a director who has gone on a business trip, and I will introduce you to you when I have a chance in the future.”

"Hello, both of you." Yun Li and Lu Ci greeted them one after another. Wei Bai is a man in his sixties, wearing large round glasses, with a medium to thin build, a white shirt and black trousers, and a pair of black pants. Cloth shoes don't have the demeanor of being a leader. It is more suitable to say that an old teacher is more suitable. This is how he felt when he saw Brother Chen for the first time.

Deputy curator Hong Xiuxiu is different. He is in his early thirties, probably no more than 35. He looks quite distinctive, and he is quite attractive. He is dressed like a professional woman. In terms of professional title, the curator should have the level of a director, while the deputy The curator also has to be at the top level, which shows that her ability is not bad.

After a simple meeting, curator Wei Baicai explained: "Brother Li is too polite. He and Ming Lan are the pillars of the Southwest Museum, and Xiuxiu is also a rising star. Generally speaking, the major affairs in the museum are handled by five of us." There are only four people here, but it’s not a big problem.”

"I didn't expect that the owner of the Spotted Deer Manor in the rumors turned out to be such a young and handsome man. Now when you talk about rumors and rumors, it is tantamount to equating falsehoods, but this is the only exception. I am very happy to meet you." Two." Hong Xiuxiu also politely said, from the art of speaking, it can be seen that she does have a set, and it is not without reason that she was able to climb to this position.

Although they have never been to the Southwest Museum before, Yunli and Lu Ci still knew the general situation from Gu Ling. In addition to the two directors and deputy directors, there are three permanent directors below, namely Li Jun, Gu Minglan and another director. In addition to poor directors, the five of them formed the core structure of the Southwest Museum.

Both Li Jun and Gu Minglan are permanent directors and investigators of the Southwest Museum. They each have their own areas of expertise, and their Gu family has a high reputation in the academic world. If it weren't for the accident more than 20 years ago, the two would have died It should be at the level of the principal or dean. Although Wei Bai is the director of the curator, he is very polite to the two of them, and will ask for their opinions in advance on many important matters.

"You two are being polite, and I won't beat around the bush. I don't know if the matter Uncle Jun and Aunt Lan told you is finalized?" After the politeness, Yun Li said straight to the point.

Wei Bai and Hong Xiuxiu looked at each other, and finally Hong Xiuxiu came forward to answer: "This matter is not complicated, we have dealt with many cases like this before, but Mr. Yunli, your plan is a bit special, so we specialize in it." and we want to see those items before we can give you a final answer."

"Of course, but Uncle Jun and Aunt Lan should have told you, and I will repeat it tirelessly. These things are very special and have extraordinary origins. If you want to get them, you will inevitably be missed. "Yun Li solemnly reminded.

"Young friend Yunli, don't worry, our Southwest Museum is a public exhibition hall. No matter what the origin of something is, as long as it goes through the formalities and enters the museum, it is something shared by everyone. Anyone can miss it, but no one can miss it. This is the confidence. We still have them, even if you take out the original copper animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs in the Yuanmingyuan, we all have the courage to keep them in the museum, and if we want to take them away, we have to ask the people of the Southwest whether they agree or not." Wei Bai also let go. come out.

Li Jun and Gu Minglan also nodded to Yunli, then Yunli didn't say anything more, took off the shoulder bag that he had been carrying all the time, unzipped it without hesitation under the eyes of everyone, and took out a large plastic bag Come and put it in the middle of the small table, and made a gesture of invitation to everyone.

As soon as the plastic bag came out, Wei Bai and Hong Xiuxiu were startled. After looking at each other, they didn't have any idea, but Li Jun didn't think too much, and took out a pair of pure white cotton gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. , and then carefully opened the plastic bag, and took out a small roll of paper inside.

This small paper roll is very old, only the size of a homework page, and it was packed in a transparent sealed bag. As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Only Yun Li raised his hands and waited for their identification, while Lu Ci also sat Looking at the expressions of the people around him.

"This..." Li Jun was the first person to come into contact with this scroll, and he was also the first to have a clue. He was not sure whether the scroll was the same as the object he thought of, but this thought alone already shocked him. I was speechless.
