Siheyuan: I am Liu Guangqi
Page 219
....
Of course, Liu Guangqi naturally wouldn't dislike these things, the more these things the better, he was simply curious, can women from the Russian royal family wear so many jewelry, this is too crazy.
Liu Guangqi did not know that it was the Russian Tsar Peter the Great hundreds of years ago who caused all this.
As the fifth tsar of the Romanov Dynasty in Russia, the first emperor of the Russian Empire, and one of the two great emperors in Russian history, Peter the Great was almost paranoid about jewelry, and even issued a special order to protect the treasures, requiring People in the country are not allowed to change the precious jewelry and jewelry in the seller. Diamonds and jewelry above a certain weight must be purchased by the royal family.
In addition, Peter the Great also made diamond beads all over the world, and built a mysterious building in the Winter Palace of St. Petersburg where he lived, in which all the collected jewels were treasured.The world calls it the Diamond Bank.
After several generations of royal families kept collecting, the Russian diamond bank finally became the place where the most precious diamonds are concentrated in the world, among which there are only 3 of the top ten largest diamonds in the world.
Influenced by Peter the Great, both the later Catherine II and the last Tsar Nicholas II perfectly inherited his jewelry taste.
Especially Empress Ekaterina II, someone once said that if every woman in the world loves diamonds, then the woman who loves diamonds the most is Ekaterina II.One of her Bibles alone has 3017 diamonds on its silver cover.Not to mention her crown and scepter.
Even the British princess Alice, who married into the Tsarist Russian royal family, wrote in a letter to her mother Victoria in shock: "The jewels in the Tsar's palace may not even be comparable to your collection."
You must know that the British Empire at that time was an empire where the sun never sets, and the princesses of the British Empire could express such emotions, which is enough to show how amazing the jewelry storehouse of the Tsarist Russian royal family is.
The top is good, but the bottom is better than the bottom. The royal family's pursuit of jewelry and jewelry soon spread to the people, and even affected every citizen in Russia. Someone once commented on Russia
“This is a magical country where women, too poor to eat bread, still go to the theater to watch a ballet in their mink coats and sparkling pearls and diamonds.”
From this comment, it is enough to see that Russians love jewelry. It can be said that if a Russian does not have a few pieces of jewelry in his home, he will not be able to survive at all. Even now that Russia has changed from the original Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union, this problem has not been corrected.
In addition to the twenty boxes of jewelry, Liu Guangqi also found some exquisite porcelain and artworks in this box, including more than a dozen easter eggs. These eggs are not the eggs behind the movie, but the eggs made by the famous Russian jeweler Faberge for the royal family. They can be regarded as jewelry or a piece of art. All kinds of precious materials are used on them, including amber and tortoise.
There are also some porcelains put together with these eggs. These porcelains are not Chinese porcelains, but Western porcelains. Many people know that China is the birthplace of porcelain and has a long history, but few people know that after the eighteenth century, Western porcelains The skill of firing porcelain has surpassed that of China.And through the old to bring forth the new, porcelain that conforms to the aesthetics of Westerners was fired.
....
Although the price of these porcelains in later auctions is not high, that is mainly because of its short history and large amount of existence, unlike Chinese porcelain, which often has hundreds of thousands of years of existence and is scarce.
These porcelains are divided into two categories, one is ornamental porcelain, and the other is daily-use porcelain. Daily-use is naturally plates and cups. There are many ornamental ones, such as portraits, animals, and vases.Regardless of the type of workmanship, they are all very exquisite, even extravagant, full of Baroque and Rococo styles, and some of them are purely showing off skills in Liu Guangqi's view.
In addition to these, there are also two boxes of antique jade wares from China, and several large boxes of oil paintings painted by Western celebrities. Liu Guangqi does not understand oil paintings, so Liu Guangqi only recognizes one of Van Gogh's paintings. After all, Van Gogh's paintings are too unique.
After checking these things, Liu Guangqi began to classify them. After all, so many things can't just be kept here.Especially since there are guns inside, it will be troublesome if a child accidentally encounters a fire.
But now Liu Guangqi has also learned to be smart and no longer moves foolishly by himself.Instead, use your own ability to get things to the real world first, then go back to the space and run to the place where you want to store the things, and then come out and bring the things back to the space, which is simple and labor-saving.
"Take care of these things, and don't let the children break them."
Looking at the three women who were walking around the dozens of boxes of jewelry, Liu Guangqi reminded him, and then he started to get busy.
"Do not"
Soon Liu Guangqi put the ammunition, gold and jewelry in their respective places. Just as he was about to put the porcelain and oil paintings away, he saw Xu Huizhi take out an oil painting from a painting tube and spread it on the box, ready to open it.Seeing this scene, Liu Guangqi hurried forward to stop it, but it was too late, Xu Huizhi had already opened the painting and put his head on it.
"what"
Seeing what was on the canvas, Xu Huizhi's face turned red immediately, she yelled shyly, and then threw the painting out of her hand as if she had picked up a hot potato. Bai Hui and Yunzi on the side saw the After doing something, he also became red-faced and glared at Liu Guangqi angrily.
"You rascal"
"Why did I become a hooligan. What the ****?"
After being scolded gracefully, Liu Guangqi asked in a daze.
"You know what you did, don't you already know what is painted on this painting?"
"I don't know what is painted on it. It turns out to be this."
Liu Guangqi walked to the front and took a look at the painting, and suddenly realized, no wonder the three girls blushed after seeing it.
"This is a theme of European oil painting, mainly to resist oppression and show the natural beauty of the human body. In addition to this kind of painting, there are many sculptures of this theme, which are very common in the West."
Liu Guangqi looked at the three women and explained.
"Then why did you yell just now?"
Yunzi asked with a red face.
"I just yelled because the picture scroll has been in place for too long, so I can't just open it like that. You can see for yourself if there are many cracks on it. Don't underestimate these cracks. If you don't fix them, the value of this painting will be lost."
....
Liu Guangqi pointed to the small cracks on the oil painting and said.
"The impact is the impact. It's better to destroy this kind of thing. Do you think so?"
Bai Hui said with a look of disgust
"yes"
"that is"
Xu Huizhi and Yunzi also echoed.
"Okay, okay, don't stay here, go back and rest."
Seeing the three daughters being unreasonable, Liu Guangqi waved the three of them back to the small western building. After he finished his work, the three daughters had already returned to their respective houses to catch up on sleep.
"Ah, comfortable"
After working for several hours, Liu Guangqi, who was already exhausted, came to the bathroom and filled himself with a tub of hot water.Then dragged his tired body and sat in.Soaking his head in the slightly scalding hot water, and then popping it out suddenly, Liu Guangqi couldn't help letting out a happy * * * sound.
Just as Liu Guangqi was enjoying the bath with his eyes closed, the sound of slippers suddenly sounded behind him, followed by the sound of someone entering the water
Then Liu Guangqi felt a pair of delicate and delicate hands on his temples, and pressed them gently.
"Why are you?"
Liu Guangqi thought it was Xu Huizhi, but he opened his eyes and saw Yunzi's small face.
"Sister Huizhi is busy looking after the children and has no time to come over. Sister Huizi is inconvenient today."
Yunzi explained.
"Oh"
Liu Guangqi responded, and then closed his eyes while enjoying Yunzi's service, while making small movements on Yunzi's chest.After pressing the temples, the two changed positions and pressed the neck and shoulders again.
Afterwards, the postures of the two became more and more ambiguous, feeling that the fire was almost over, Liu Guangqi was no longer polite, picked up Yunzi and walked towards her room.
After a night of wind, Liu Guangqi ushered in the morning of the next day.In order to prevent the Vladimir family from discovering the abnormality, Liu Guangqi got up from Yunzixiang's soft embrace at five o'clock.
"Dear Davari Liu, you are really amazing. I have never seen anyone who can drink like you. Where did you get your wine? It is really strong. I have never drunk such a strong vodka. My head is still hurting."
After feeling the sound of someone walking outside the room, Liu Guangqi also got dressed and walked out.As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Andre who came down from the stairs.
After seeing Liu Guangqi, Andre covered his forehead and praised Liu Guangqi's drinking capacity.
"I distilled the vodka myself, and the purity reached 96 degrees. I usually use it as the base wine and mix it with others to drink."
Liu Guangqi explained with a smile.
"My God, 96 degrees, that's no different from drinking alcohol directly. It's really amazing that you can drink so much alcohol with such a high degree."
Hearing this, Andre gave Liu Guangqi a thumbs up again.
"You look good, Vladimir"
After greeting Andre, Vladimir also walked down the stairs. Compared with old Andre, his condition is much better. It seems that he had a good rest last night.
"I can't compare with you, my God, if I were you, I would definitely not be able to stand up today, and I'm even ready to ask for leave for you."
....
Vladimir looked at the lively Liu Guangqi in disbelief.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a person who drank five bottles of vodka and a dozen glasses of beer stood in front of him like a normal person in a few hours.
"Small idea. Think about where you will take me to play today."
Liu Guangqi smiled proudly at Vladimir.
After wolfing down Yin Wa's breakfast, Vladimir took Liu Guangqi back to Moscow, wandered around various attractions in Moscow, and then sent Liu Guangqi back to the guest house.
Back at the guest house, Liu Guangqi was about to go into his room to take a nap, when he saw Wang Dongfang, Qi Sheng and three people dressed like dogs walking out of Li Xizheng's room.
"Come back. Guangqi, have you enjoyed these two days?"
"It's okay, I'm very happy, and I've gained a lot."
Thinking of what he gained last night, Liu Guangqi smiled brightly.After laughing, Liu Guangqi looked at the three and asked.
"You are so slipperyly dressed, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to the ball. Our embassy and several universities in Moscow organized an exchange ball in the Palace of Culture, inviting international students from all over the world to participate. I heard that many beautiful Soviet female students will go there. Would you like to go?"
Li Xizheng said excitedly.
"just forget it."
Seeing the three eager to try, Liu Guangqi refused with a smile.This kind of dance is said to be an exchange dance, but there are a few of them for exchange and study, and they are basically there for teasing. Of course, they are all young people in their early twenties. It is understandable that the restlessness of adolescence has no place to vent.
3Chapter 17 Prom, Swallows
"Let's go, what's the point of staying here alone. The reason why the country let us come here is to broaden our horizons. How can we broaden our horizons? Of course, we need to communicate more with international friends, so that we can broaden our horizons."

Li Xizheng patted Liu Guangqi on the shoulder and said solemnly, when he first met Li Xizheng, Liu Guangqi thought this guy was quite honest, but after getting along for a long time, Liu Guangqi realized that this guy was very slippery, a bit like an old BJ's stubborn boss, but his nature was not bad.
"I don't need to broaden my horizons, it's broad enough. It's better for the three of you to go, and I won't join in the fun."
Liu Guangqi refused again.
"Come on, after talking so much, I think you are afraid of your wife. Don't worry, this is Moscow. Even if you have done something bad, your wife won't know."
It's better to be aggressive than generals, after persuasion for a long time, Li Xizheng directly moved Qin Huairu, who was thousands of miles away, out.
"I'm afraid of my wife, what a joke. Just go, wait for me for a while and I'll go back and change my clothes."
Liu Guangqi suddenly burst out laughing. Is Liu Guangqi the master who is afraid of his wife? If he is afraid of his wife, how can he have so many concubines?But people have talked about this, if you don't go, you will lose face.
Liu Guangqi went back to the room and took out a Chinese tunic suit that he had worn in his previous life from the box. Compared with the clothes of this era, this dress is not only much better in material, but more importantly, the shape is more slim, unlike the current clothes that are completely straight on the body, and have no aesthetic feeling at all.
After putting on the Chinese tunic suit, Liu Guangqi found himself a pair of shiny leather shoes and put them on his feet. Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, Liu Guangqi nodded in satisfaction.It's time for people of this era to meet the handsome men of the 21st century.
"My X, I regret it a little, or you should not go, if you go, then we have nothing to do.
After Liu Guangqi pushed the door and walked out, the three people standing at the door were dumbfounded. Although Liu Guangqi usually looked handsome, he looked better than them because he didn't dress up specially.
But now that Liu Guangqi made a fuss, he immediately threw the three of them out for several blocks, followed such a handsome guy to the ball, wouldn't Liu Guangqi steal all the limelight, who would ask them to dance.
"I regret it now, it's too late."
Liu Guangqi glanced at the three of them and smiled.
"Yes, the three of us are really uncomfortable for ourselves, let's go"
The three brothers looked at each other, sucked their teeth, and followed Liu Guangqi to the outside of the guest house.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a day. Where did you get the Kirov? This watch is not cheap. It costs 200 yuan no matter what. Where did you get so much money? It can't be stolen."
The four got on the bus to the Cultural Palace, and Li Xizheng found the gold watch in Liu Guangqi's hand. Compared with Wang Dongfang and Qi Sheng, Li Xizheng, who was born in Taiwan, was much more knowledgeable than the two, and he recognized the brand of the watch at a glance. ....
"Go aside, buddy, is that the one who sneaks around? This is the spoils of war that buddies have worked so hard for."
Liu Guangqi raised his wrist to show off.
"The spoils? You've put your life into it, let's hear it."
As a qualified listener, he will definitely pass on the words when the time is right to avoid embarrassing scenes. Li Xizheng is such a person.
"This is a child without a mother. It's a long story. Didn't I go to his house with my friend yesterday? He took me for a walk in the mountains near their farm. Before entering the mountain, we made a bet. To see who has the most prey and who has the most prey, this watch is the bet. Guess what I got?"
"what"
"Wild boar."
"Elk"
The three of them guessed at one another.
"Neither, I hit a bear"
"A bear!?"
"Just brag! You can kill a bear the first time you hunt, why don't you say you killed a tiger?"
"that is"
"Who told you that, don't you believe it, the photo will be developed in a few days, and the bear skin will be sent over by then..."
