Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Tang Lanxuan became even more curious and asked, "How did you find the mural?"

Lin Ran recalled Liu Jingfeng's statement that three years ago, they were out of town and had just returned from the tomb to visit old friends in a temple.

It happened that a monk was the disciple of the treasure master and invited him to the temple to evaluate the cultural relics inside.

This is a dilapidated temple with basically no incense and it is almost out of business.

so.Only this monk would invite Zhen Bao. After all, the temple is about to close.

The remaining cultural relics are intended to be resold to local museums.

They are all Buddhist statues, calligraphy and paintings. The temple looks dilapidated and may have been stolen.

There weren't many valuable things at all, and it looked like they couldn't get into them.

Finally, I found a rubbing of a mural in the corner.

At first, no one was interested in this mural rubbing because the painting on it looked too ostentatious and incompatible with the style of the temple.

But Zhenbao's friend pulled him into a corner and asked him to keep the rubbings.

The two of them had a close relationship, so they finally agreed.

And gave some money to the temple.

At that time, Liu Jingfeng blamed him for misuse of money, but Huang Hao felt that the painting had some origins.

It's just that their level is difficult to evaluate, so they plan to take them back to the capital for further consideration.

At that time, there happened to be a colleague who had been cleared and was working in a museum, doing comparative research on the murals.

Even he couldn't tell the content of the picture.

So, they paid a lot of money to hire a researcher who was good at murals to investigate their residence.

The researcher is indeed an expert on murals. When he saw that the murals were quite lifelike, he was astonished.

But he couldn't tell the origin of the mural. It was probably a secret treasure that had not been discovered.

He wanted to report to his superiors at that time, and was finally bought with money.

If this painting is reported to the local museum, Liu Jingfeng may not be able to get it.

Because of this incident, Liu Jingfeng already had a rough guess in his mind after listening to the other party's description.

I will no longer entrust others to find the whereabouts of this calligraphy and painting.

Instead, he rushed back to the capital overnight.

We hired a well-known treasure appraisal expert in the industry, and after two days and two nights of appraisal, we finally determined that it was the work of Wu Daozi and was just a long-lost mural.

Wu Daozi had no faith in his early days, and his writing skills were still a bit immature at this time.

This mural should be from this period.

The only people who know about the mural rubbings are Liu Jingfeng and others.

They spent a lot of money to silence others at the time.

In the end, the rubbing of the mural got what he wanted and he kept it in his hands.

There are many cultural relics in his treasure house, even national treasure-level cultural relics.

This time, he took the initiative for Lin Ran, and he really regarded Lin Ran as his brother.

Tang Lanxuan nodded.

Lin Ran is indeed something to be proud of having such a partner.

He turned his attention back to the mural rubbings.

"Teacher, do you think it is possible that this is the authentic work of Wu Daozi?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.

"I just had a casual look. At least this mural is an authentic work from the Tang Dynasty. It's hard to say whether it is from Wu Daozi. Maybe I can go back and ask Mr. Liu, he is an expert in this field."

Tang Lanxuan cannot tell the truth, after all, he is the director of the Palace Museum.

If you stand in line for the auction house's auction items, you will be held responsible if something goes wrong.

"But I think it's really possible." Tang Lanxuan said with a smile, "I wonder if I'll have a chance to talk to Brother Liu about the origin of this mural."

After all, Liu Jingfeng is a local master, and it is impossible for him to tell everything like them.

"I will invite him here at noon." Lin Ran said, of course he would try his best to meet the teacher's request.

They are both similar in age and should feel comfortable talking about these things.

"If it is really a lost mural, it is really difficult to estimate it." Tang Lanxuan frowned and sighed.

As the director of the museum, of course he wanted to take down the calligraphy and painting.

He also understood that the museum could not openly bid.

And there is no way to verify the authenticity of this painting, so naturally there is no way to apply for funding.

It is revealed to the public that it is the work of Wu Daozi, but the specific source is not stated.

After all, Mr. Hu Daozi painted countless paintings in his life. If it were his private works, there is really no way to request them.

Moreover, after so many years, the research on Wu Daozi's paintings is in full swing.

No one has ever heard of anyone mentioning this mural, and the name announced to the public is also an unknown painting.

In addition, there are really many fine works in the auction house, which is dazzling.

However, Tang Lanxuan was still thinking about the painting just now.

He said with a hint of regret: "Chinese civilization has a long history, and the museum's collections are also very rich. But compared to world-class museums, the heritage is still a bit inferior."

Hearing the teacher's complaint again, Lin Ran recalled his past life.

Tang Lanxuan World Travel told him about the collection. The largest museum in the world is still the British Museum.

Their collection is at least fifty times that of their museum.

Although it is not stated explicitly, everyone knows that most of your treasures in the museum were plundered from other countries.

China is the first to bear the brunt.

In the British Museum, there should be less than one-tenth of the works about local people.

90.00% of the cultural relics were stolen from other ancient civilizations.

Especially among the four ancient civilizations, other civilizations have almost disappeared. Even if there are still countries, they are very different from before.

Only China has passed down its true traditions, but as a result, the cultural relics are collected by foreigners, which has to be said to be a pity.

The British Museum has a collection of cultural relics from all over the world, including books, handicrafts, and cultural relics. The collection is rich and the variety is the largest in the world.

Just because they were plundering all over the world in the 18th century, the dominance of maritime powers was unshakable.

Lin Ran is already making plans for them. When his team is in place and Ham has established a foothold in the UK, they will start taking action.

Tang Lanxuan knew a little bit about Lin Ran's plan, so he just secretly reminded him to pay attention to his safety.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so caring about his apprentice.

He had taught many apprentices before, but Lin Ran's talent was the rarest he had ever seen.

The two chatted about their plans by the way. Tang Lanxuan also planned to expand the collection of the Palace Museum and wanted to hear Lin Ran's opinion.

If you want to increase your collection, there are really only a few methods.

Go to the private sector to pick up leaks, ask collectors to hand over cultural relics, and buy back cultural relics from abroad.

But the situation is still the same. China is still in a relatively poor stage compared to other European and American countries.
