In the Jinling Museum, in the antique-decorated, exquisite and elegant living room, a group of people stood around, all focusing on the coffee table.
Two gray-haired old men were sitting on the sofa, wearing gloves and carefully placing the three cultural relics in the suitcase on the coffee table one by one.
Then, one of them picked up the first bronze wine bottle covered with green rust and looked at it carefully.
"The Taotie pattern and the water beast relief, judging from the material and pattern, these are at least cultural relics from before the Warring States Period." The old professor clicked his tongue as he looked at them.
"My jade lamp with a red bird carving is also a masterpiece of craftsmanship..." Another old man was also full of praise.
They chatted in a low voice, and then invariably turned to the last piece of jade, which was white, translucent, curved, and had four-legged monsters carved on both sides...
As for Mei Qian, who was sitting opposite the old man, his expressions were not as rich as those around him.
Even when experts were dating the cultural relics, he still quietly lowered his head and sipped tea, as if the things on the coffee table didn't exist.
Because of this, compared to Ning Chi standing behind him who was staring intently, Mei Qian's performance was actually a little colder.
There is nothing surprising. Ever since he walked in here and made it clear that he wanted to donate these cultural relics, regardless of their origin or value, they really have nothing to do with him anymore.
There are only three items in the suitcase, a bronze wine bottle with three animal heads and a gluttonous pattern, a white jade cup with a red bird pattern, and a jade cup with Tianlu playing pearls.
He got them all by "accident". Except for the wine bottles, he personally likes the other two items in terms of material, style, and even the feel of playing with them. Moreover, even if he has no knowledge of appraising antiques, he can still see the value of these items.
Extraordinary, but there is no place to take action, and it does not take up any space, so it stays in the system warehouse.
But this time the money had to be laundered and had to be taken out.
In fact, it is not that there are more valuable things that have been gathering dust, but those things either have too recognizable shapes or have some messy inscriptions on them, so after picking and choosing, only these three are considered safe.
Yes, he went through all this trouble, traveling and finding black marketeers, just to launder money.
After all, the Xia Kingdom in this world is a superpower and maintains a close relationship with Interpol.
So he had to consider, what if his overseas account was frozen after going abroad? Out of cultural identity, he did not want to sell his antiques to foreigners.
All they can do is find a way to exchange the numbers in the account into gold to maintain their value. Moreover, once they take that step in the future, they can also attract the attention of the police to Thailand.
As for whether these three cultural relics are worth half a box of gold bars?
Then Mei Qian must have been deceived. This guy thought he was an expert in this field after reading some books on archeology and antique appraisal. I met a seller at the night market and felt that the stuff was quite reliable. I couldn’t bear to see the national treasures wandering overseas. My brain
I bought it as soon as it became popular. As long as the thing is genuine, it is not taken advantage of.
Hiding gold? Just kidding, he entered the country through regular channels and was searched. Not to mention gold bars, he didn’t even bring any gold or silver jewelry with him. Where can he hide it? Is he unfamiliar with Thailand?
Why buy gold bars? Is it illegal to visit the black market abroad? It’s not just to preserve value, it’s much cheaper than in banks…
"Well, Mr. Mei, could you please ask me about the origin of these cultural relics? And why they were donated." Just when the musician Mei Qian seemed to be in a daze, but in fact he was in a daze, the old professor opposite suddenly hesitated and spoke.
: "I'm not doubting you, but I don't know where you got such a precious thing from, and whether there are other cultural relics in the other party's hands. By smell, we speculate that these things were unearthed not long ago. This...
"Having said this, he paused again, only staring at Mei Qian with his eyes.
Mei Qian was slightly startled: "..."
You, old man, are really quite upright. What you are saying is not just saying that things are not coming from the right way?
However, the origin of the system prizes is indeed a bit informal, so he said: "I accidentally saw it abroad. I knew these things were not simple, so I spent money to buy them..."
Since there was no problem in identifying the cultural relics, Mei Qian declined the banquet, left the Jinling Museum with the donation certificate and a check, and boarded the train to Hangzhou.
The two places were not far apart. Mei Qian was lying down, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so he simply sat up.
It was a pity that someone was unwilling to play online games with him even if his bonus was deducted, so he could only play with his mobile phone with Ning Chi.
Just as he was scrolling through short videos, Ning Chi beside him suddenly began to gloat: "Brother Qian, there is news about you, do you want to read it?"
Mei Qian's face immediately darkened, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Without him, some photos of him on the streets abroad were posted online by someone.
He accidentally became popular on the Xiaguo Internet.
It seems that in the eyes of many people, he or she is guilty and absconding, leading to various speculations.
There were even a lot of people offering advice and suggestions on the police's Weibo. In a word, Mei Qian should be controlled immediately and absolutely not allowed to go abroad.
Fortunately, the police were very calm and said they would never restrict civil liberties. Mei Qian immediately clarified the situation, and the heat quickly subsided.
But the prank comments on the Internet still continue.
After returning to China this morning, Mei Qian posted a second Weibo post. It was a photo of him standing in front of the Jinling Museum, with the date and time marked underneath.
Thinking that now that you are back, those pranks should stop, right?
No, the local netizens in Jinling were very lively this time. They all said that they wanted to escape from Jinling as soon as possible. Anyway, the farther away from Mei Qian, the crow's mouth, the better...
This is also one of the reasons why Mei Qian can't sleep.
He Mei considers himself patriotic, dedicated, upright and kind, so why is he so disliked by a group of enthusiastic people?
It’s just the Xia Capital. There are no killer diaries, underground tombs, and continuous rain. He stayed there all year round, and a lot of things did happen. So, even if there was a weird "Xia Capital Expulsion Mei Qian Committee", he
It’s hard to say anything.
But Jinling! He's been here for nearly ten days, hasn't anything happened? Why did those people react so loudly?
However, the link sent by Ning Chi this time was different from what Mei Qian had imagined.
Talking about conversation, even if someone scolded Mei Qian on the Internet and told her to go to Jinling and not come to Hangzhou, he would not be surprised at all.
But on the page, the first title stood out particularly "Hangcheng Welcomes Master Mei".
This style of painting is wrong!
While Mei Qian was in a daze, Ning Chi, who understood the cause and effect, smiled and explained.
It turns out that the story of "The Legend of White Snake" told by Mei Qian on the TV show last year was extremely popular around Hangzhou.
In fact, the legend of the White Snake and the Scholar has been circulating in Hangzhou for a long time, but it is far less specific and interesting than what Mei Qian told. In addition, the cartoon "The Origin of the White Snake" was just released a few days ago, and the box office is rising steadily.
It is about to win the box office championship of this period. This will undoubtedly be a very good publicity for Hangzhou and West Lake.
It is said that the Hangzhou government is even planning to donate a viewing room by the West Lake to Mei Qian and grant him the title of honorary citizen...
"Finally something good happened." Mei Qian looked at the press release above and listened to Ning Chi's story with a smile on his face.
However, what the other person said next made him twitch his fingers.
"Unfortunately, Leifeng Pagoda collapsed during the war years, but I heard that the local government plans to rebuild Leifeng Pagoda on its original site..."
"White Snake, Leifeng Pagoda..." Mei Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked Ning Chi: "Do you think it would be a big deal if there really is a White Snake corpse under Leifeng Pagoda?"
"Ah?" Ning Chi was stunned for a moment.
Mei Qian let out a long sigh. He thought about the system's urination. Such a good way might be exploited by the system. After all, that guy has no intelligence and no sense of moral integrity. In order to earn popularity points, he will do anything.
?
just in case……
As the saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. According to his original plan, he planned to stay in the good place of Hangzhou for a while and watch what was going on in the north.
Forget it now, since they are so welcoming, we won’t rent a house to live there permanently, just eat some delicious food and leave as soon as possible...
