Chapter 1960: National treasure among national treasures

"Of course you heard it right, Qian Lao, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" does belong to me. The reason why I came to the China Pavilion now is to appreciate this national treasure.
　　 After two or three days at most, I will take this national treasure and other Chinese antique works of art that I have exchanged, and fly directly to Beijing on an Air China chartered flight, and ship them all back to China.
　　Before the joint press conference tomorrow, please keep it secret and don’t disclose this information. Although it doesn’t matter, it’s better to do more than less.

　　 Ye Tian smiled and nodded, expressing his pride.
　　 Before his words fell, Qian Lao grabbed his arm excitedly and said:
　　"Awesome! Your kid did a great job in this matter. This is the real treasure of the country. It is the dream of how many Chinese people can return this priceless treasure. I didn't expect you to realize it.
　　 There is no doubt that the Tang dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of Female History" will cause a huge sensation once it returns to China. It is definitely the most important return of Chinese antique art in the past few decades.
　　 Let’s say, once this national treasure returns to China, it must be loaned to us for a few days’ public exhibition at the Shanghai Museum. We can also enjoy it and study it. The conditions of the loan are whatever you want."
　　 Ye Tian looked at the old man, then smiled and shook his head and said:
　　"I’m afraid it’s no use. Old Qian, as you know, this is a national treasure with a history of more than a thousand years. It is also a silk painting. It is already fragile and avoids frequent movement. Every movement is accompanied by huge risks.
　　 After the deal with the British Museum, I didn’t take this priceless treasure right away, because of this concern, 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 also caused me a headache. In the end, I decided to personally this priceless treasure back to the country, even if I held it with both hands, I would never let it suffer any damage.
　　 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 it is not something I can decide alone. It is likely that the Ministry of Culture will need to nod.
　　 It is simply impossible for you to borrow the exhibition at the Shanghai Museum. Not only you, any museum outside of Beijing will have no show. Neither I nor the Ministry of Culture can agree to it.
　　Although I cannot agree to your loan request, you can come to Beijing at any time to admire and study this treasure of the country, and no longer have to travel all the way to London to see it, let alone beg the British."
　　 Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qian Lao fell silent and fell into deep thought.
　　 After a while, he nodded excitedly and said:
　　 "You are right, Ye Tian, ​​such a treasure with a history of more than a thousand years cannot be moved frequently. It is very likely to cause irreversible and huge losses. I am reckless.
　　 When this national treasure returns to China, I will definitely rush to the Forbidden City to appreciate it as soon as possible, and then I must appreciate it carefully. That’s not the only way to enjoy it, and I won’t have the British sullenness anymore.

　　 Next, Mr. Qian introduced several other elders, who are all well-known top painting and calligraphy appraisal experts in China, who come from different museums or other cultural institutions.
　　 In fact, most of these well-known experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal Ye Tian know each other, but they have never met.
　　 After shaking hands with these people one by one, Ye Tian said to them with a smile:
　　" You can bear with me for a few more days, and wait for the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "The Legend of Female History" to be safely shipped back to China. You can go to the Forbidden City in Beijing to appreciate this priceless treasure.
　　The Stein Chamber contains a large amount of Chinese antique works of great value. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Moreover, this is the British Museum, and I cannot be the master.
　　 So I won’t boast Haikou and invite you all to enter the Stein’s Secret Chamber. You will first go to the China Pavilion and have a look around. When I finish my business here, I will invite you all to have dinner together.

　　 "Understand, let's look elsewhere first, 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."
　　 Qian Lao smiled and nodded and said, the regretful expression just now has been wiped out, and his mood has become extremely happy.
　　 Just after his voice fell, another famous calligraphy and painting expert from Nanjing whispered:
　　 "Ye Tian, ​​can you tell me, in addition to Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" in the Tang Dynasty, 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 whispered triumphantly:
　　"You guys stand firm and support me. I have also won over 18,000 scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Collection Cave, including half of the Dunhuang Collection of the British Museum and all of the Dunhuang Collection of the British Library.
　　 In addition, there are 45 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" collected by the British Library, the earliest version of the Paramita Sutra, the pair of famous Yuan blue and white standard ‘Da Weide vases’, and the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln sky green glaze bowl.
　　 In addition to these, there are other valuable top Chinese antique works of art, such as the ancestor of the'Beijing', the famous Tang Dynasty painter Li Sixun's "Green Landscapes", the Five Dynasties Juran's "Maolin Diezhang" and so on.
　　Okay, let’s stop here. After dinner in the evening, I will introduce to you in detail. You should be prepared. It is best to bring quick-acting heart-saving pills to avoid trouble. See you later. I will pass."
　　 After finishing speaking, Ye Tian turned and walked towards the door of the Stein Chamber, and soon joined Prince William and David.
　　 Looking at the old men like Old Qian, they were completely stupid. They were stunned in place one by one, eyes full of incredible and crazy.
　　 "More than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures were all brought back by Ye Tian this kid, how is this possible? I am not dreaming, am I? Such a good thing, I don't even dare to even dream of it!"
　　 Qian Lao muttered to himself, looking desperate.
　　 The conditions of the other elders were not better than that, all of them were shaking with excitement, and they couldn't stand still.
　　 It wasn't until Ye Tian and the others walked into the Stein Chamber that Old Qian and the others woke up.
　　 Immediately afterwards, these old men started to sigh with excitement.
　　 "Ye Tian, ​​this kid's method is so powerful, it is almost unheard of. He co-authored him and ransacked the British Museum and the British Library crazily. It was too ruthless, but it made people extremely happy!"
"Who would say no? If Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" in Tang Dynasty and more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures can be safely returned to China, it will definitely cause a magnitude ten earthquake. At that time, let me lead this kid. Stirrups are willingly
　　After a few old men sighed with emotion, they turned around and left the front door of Stein's Chamber to visit other antique artworks displayed in the China Pavilion.
　　 When they left here, each of them was walking very briskly, as if they were a few dozen years younger and youth returned to them.
　　 At this time, the light in Stein's secret room was extremely dim, and the light conditions were extremely poor, which was very different from the light conditions in the outside exhibition hall.
　　 Of course, this kind of lighting conditions is deliberate, not that the British Museum can't afford the electricity bill, so it was done.
　　 This is to protect some relatively old antique works of art, and try to prevent sunlight, so as to avoid major irreversible losses such as fading.
　　 After entering the secret room, Ye Tian and the others first stood near the door for a while, and after they adapted to the light conditions in the secret room, under the leadership of Fisher, they walked to the special showcase where the "Female History Proverbs" was placed.
　　 In order to protect the invaluable treasure of "The Picture of Female History", the British Museum specially created a set of special bullet-proof glass display cabinets, and then placed the "Picture of Female History" flat and protected.
　　 This bulletproof glass showcase not only has a constant temperature and humidity inside, but also has a light-shielding screen on it, which completely covers the priceless treasure displayed in the showcase.
　　Only when it is publicly exhibited once or twice a year, the light-shielding curtain outside will be unveiled to show the "Female History Proverbs" in the showcase.
　　Almost all the rest of the time, the blackout curtain is pulled up to protect that priceless treasure and extend its life as long as possible.
　　 Of course, today is an exception.
　　 This special set of showcases for the "Female History Proverbs" is placed in the middle of the Stein's Chamber. There is also a distance from the door of the chamber to the set 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, Stein’s Secret Chamber contains a large number of valuable Chinese antique works of art.
　　 Some of these Chinese antique artworks are placed in bullet-proof glass showcases, some are placed on display racks, some are placed in boxes, and some are directly hung on the wall ~EbookFREE.me~ The number is amazing.
　　 Although the lights in the secret room are dim, in Ye Tian's eyes, it is no different from the exhibition hall outside. Even the display cabinets that cover the curtain or the wooden boxes of different sizes cannot block his sight.
　　 In his eyes, these top antique artworks from China all radiate colorful light and have layers of charming halo, which is fascinating.
　　 Looking at these priceless Chinese antique artworks in perspective, Ye Tian suddenly felt that he was still too soft-hearted, and that the slaughter of the British was not ruthless enough!
　　 Next time, if there is a chance, I must loot this place and take all the Chinese antique artworks into my own pocket, and leave none of them to the British!
　　While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others have come to the special showcase where the "Female History Proverbs" is displayed.
　　 After everyone stood in front of the showcase and determined that the light inside the secret room was appropriate, Fisher immediately ordered the museum staff to open the black light-blocking curtain covering the bulletproof glass showcase.
　　 Then, two museum staff members carefully opened the blackout curtain.
　　 Following their actions, the priceless treasure in the showcase that has been lost overseas for more than a hundred years, and that all Chinese people dream of, finally appeared before 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 very excited at this time, and his heart rate is even much faster than usual.
