After accepting the golden seal, Shen Huan moved his position.

Inside the oversized safe on the right, except for the bottom compartment, are all large and small boxes of calligraphy and painting.

The bottom layer stores oil paintings that have been framed.

The storage of oil paintings is very expensive, and generally cannot be rolled up and stored like our country's landscape paintings and copybooks.

Especially after a long time, if it is rolled up, the oil paint inside will definitely stick together, thus destroying the painting.

The oil paintings were piled flat in the safe.

The first one is an impression painting by Picasso, and so is the one behind. They are not small in size. According to market conditions, the price of each painting here is at least 70 million US dollars.

The one next to it is by Gauguin, the one next to it is by Cézanne, and there are even two paintings by Van Gogh.

It is no exaggeration to say that the value of more than 20 oil paintings is at least about 2 billion US dollars.

Fortunately, both safes are super large, each with a volume of more than 30 cubic meters. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to store so many hand-me-down masterpieces of such large sizes.

But they are on the lowest level.

This shows that the Abe family does not like them very much.

Perhaps the biggest reason for collecting them is their value.

You can take it out and sell it anytime later.

The several large and small boxes above are obviously Chinese landscape paintings and celebrity calligraphy.

The prices of these calligraphy and paintings are definitely not as popular as oil paintings. For example, our most expensive auction price is only over 400 million, and the most expensive auction price in Europe and the United States is also over 400 million, but it is Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" for US dollars.

But as far as Easterners are concerned, psychologically they definitely prefer these cultural treasures passed down by our Confucian culture.

The size of the box for storing calligraphy and painting is similar to that of the outside, but the box should be more delicate and comfortable to the touch.

Things worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, the treatment will definitely be different.

Shen Huan casually opened a box and took a look at the paintings inside.

Um.

"Portrait of Zilu", Ma Yuan, Four Great Masters of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the collecting circles of China, Japan and Korea, works from the Song Dynasty are very highly regarded.

There has always been a saying that "a page of Song Dynasty paper, a tael of gold".

Song paper alone is so expensive, let alone Song Dynasty paintings.

Moreover, Zilu was one of Confucius's most famous students, and his historical value was different.

According to the market price three years ago, a painting of this size would have cost more than 50 million yuan. Now I am afraid that it would be unaffordable for 70 to 80 million yuan.

If it is stored for another two or three years, it will easily break through 100 million.

Shen Huan put the painting back.

Then he spotted a larger box, almost twice the size of the painting.

When I opened it, I found that the scrolls inside were indeed thicker.

The width alone is 80 or 90 centimeters, and the length is over 160 centimeters.

The painting is the work of Qiu Ying, one of the four masters of the Ming Dynasty. It is called "Gudu" and describes the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and the military camps are like walls, giving it a desolate look.

If Shen Huan remembers correctly, this painting of "Guandu" does not seem to have appeared before.

At least not in modern records.

However, there are more than thirty seals on it, and there are even inscriptions and postscripts by Dong Qichang, Wang Shimin, Zheng Banqiao and others, which shows that the painting must be authentic.

Shen Huan doesn't have a good eye for paintings, but his running script, regular script and cursive script are all advanced. Of course, you can tell whether these words are imitations or genuine.

Unless the fraudsters had Shen Yun spells at that time, it would be impossible for them to learn the inscriptions and postscripts of so many masters so vividly.

It seems to be another treasure that has long been lost to the public, or directly to Japan!

For such a large-sized painting, it is by the very famous Qiu Ying. Comparing it to Wang Meng's "Migration to Zhikawa", the price should be over 200 million.

Speaking of Qiu Ying, Baidu has an incredible piece of news from Sohu. It is frequently said that the auction price of Qiu Ying's works is 5.6 billion, 7.8 billion, and even "Red Cliff Picture" can be sold for 3 billion.

But the highest record so far is Huang Tingjian's "The Pillar Inscription", which is only 436.8 million. How can there be so many prices that surpass this work?

Of course, as time goes by, and as the Chinese people increasingly want to recover those lost national treasures, it is very possible that Qiu Ying's paintings will reach 3.5 billion in the future.

While sighing, Shen Huan unboxed the painting, rolled it up with the prepared soft protective film, and put it in his backpack.

If you don't use the box, you can at least pack half more. This saving is still necessary.

Shen Huan looked around the middle two floors again and picked up a dozen calligraphy and painting works by Mi Fu, Zhao Mengfu, Zhong Yao, Seng Huaisu, Ouyang Xun and others.

Then he looked at the top floor.

The height of the older generation in Japan is not very high, and 160 centimeters is considered normal, so they made a 1.5-meter-high safe and made the length and width 5 meters and 350 million, which is also in line with the principle of use.

Of course, this layer that is most accessible and conspicuous must contain the best treasures.

Maybe it is the most treasured treasure of the Abe family.

There are not many things on the top floor, only about half of the space is filled with things, which shows that the owner would rather leave it empty than have substandard things come in to fill the space.

Shen Huan picked up a box, inside was a calligraphy work, which started with the words "It takes time to devote oneself to it, but it cannot be written in calligraphy".

Looking at the signature again, it says "Yu Shinan Cheng".

Isn't this Yu Shinan's "Ji Shi Tie" that was discussed a lot in the past two years?

Legend has it that this "Ji Shi Tie" was completely destroyed when it was fought over by rebels in the late Qing Dynasty.

But in 2014, it appeared at auction, which was really jaw-dropping.

But the most surprising thing is now, Shen Huan actually sees another version.

Yu Shinan was one of the four masters of regular script in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also a master of cursive script who was deeply influenced by Wang Xi's lineage, so much so that the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written by him in imitation was praised as the best among the best.

Therefore, Shen Huan could tell the authenticity of his handwriting just by looking at it.

There is no doubt that this painting is true.

This also shows that the so-called damage caused by the rebel army was false, that is, someone kept it, just like the Long Live Golden Seal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before!

So history is really confusing!

Unless you go back and watch in a time machine, it's really hard to know the real truth!

However, at the same time, Shen Huan also felt very lucky.
Chapter completed!
