The paper on the letterhead is also a little yellowed, which all shows the power of time. With the Pan family as wealthy as they are, they will definitely use the best paper for correspondence...
Young Master Tang casually picked up a letter and opened it, only to see that it read: "Brother Pan Chao: We haven't seen each other for many days, but we met again. In the past on the Xunyang River..."
This is just an ordinary letter, but the missing words at the bottom surprised Mr. Tang. At the end, it read: "Brother: Nalan Nalan Rongruo, I pay my respects!"
Damn it, this letter was written by Nalan Xingde?
Signed Nalan Rongruo, it seems this letter should have been written before Nalan Xingde came of age...
Nalan Xingde changed his name to Rongruo in the middle class because the prince at that time was also named Xingde. In order to avoid the taboo of the prince's name, he changed his name to Rongruo. Later, the prince changed his name again, and Nalan Xingde returned to his own right. From this letter
It seems from the above that this letter should have been written during the time when he changed his name.
Pan Chao, isn't this person the rich man who used gold as a paperweight during the detection process just now?
The two of them are called brothers. It seems that their relationship is not simple. No wonder the Nalan Xingde paperweight and inkstone appear in the Pan family's treasures...
Young Master Tang once again opened the remaining letters and found that these letters were all written by Nalan Xingde. The contents were nothing more than some common sense. However, the lines of the letters revealed that he was disgusted with the intrigues in the officialdom and that he wanted to go into seclusion.
Heart……
No wonder Nalan Xingde was only thirty years old when he died. After living in an environment he didn't like for so many years, he would definitely be depressed. In addition, his wife died due to dystocia. Adding insult to injury, this man
The sad end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's most talented man...
After the whole box of items was counted, Mr. Tang picked up the book that Xiao Sun had recorded and took a few casual glances. The records were very detailed and professional. How many types of things were divided into the whole box, the quantity of each type, and the color and size.
There is a brief explanation. What surprised Young Master Tang was that there were actually fifty volumes of "Yongle Dadian" hidden here. It was really an unexpected surprise...
In addition to the fifty volumes of "Yongle Dadian", there is also a collection of poems written by Nalan Xingde, which records Nalan Xingde's own poems. There are about eighty poems. Mr. Tang looked through it and found out:
Most of them are lyric poems. From the poems, we can feel that the poet seems to have a kind of depression that cannot be resolved...
This collection of poems is also a good thing. Nalan Xingde was not only the most talented man in the Qing Dynasty, but also one of the three great poets. He was also a famous calligrapher. There is only one known handwritten copy of Nalan Xingde in existence, which is preserved in the Capital Museum.
Among them, now there is another one...
In Lao Li's eyes, the value of this collection of poems is no different than that of "Yongle Dadian"...
As for the twenty-three paintings, Mr. Tang was really surprised. Among them, there was one each by the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty: Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan, Tang Bohu, and Xu Zhenqing. In addition, there were two paintings by Qiu Ying and one by Huang Gongwang.
There are three paintings by Lang Shining's court, three paintings by Shen Zhou, one painting by Yan Liben, four paintings by Zhang Zeduan and Lan Ying...
The twenty-three paintings and calligraphy of famous people were of great value, especially one of them was actually an authentic work by Yan Liben and an original work by Zhang Zeduan, which made Mr. Tang even more overjoyed...
Yan Liben was a painter of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that when Li Shimin was the king of Qin, he asked him to paint "Eighteen Scholars in the Prince's Mansion". Later he became the emperor and established the Lingyan Pavilion with twenty-four heroes. The portraits of these twenty-four heroes were also completed by Yan Liben.
, his representative work "Stepping Chariot" was selected as one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from China!
Compared with Yan Liben, Zhang Zeduan is more familiar to everyone. He is a painter from the Song Dynasty. His representative work "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is 25.2 cm wide and 528 cm long.
In the form of a long scroll, using scattered perspective composition method, it records the urban appearance of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty and the prosperity of people from all walks of life in Han society in the 20th century. It is unique in China and even in the history of world painting.
On the 528-centimeter scroll, the guild spent time on 814 figures, 73 cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock, more than 20 carts and sedan chairs, 29 large and small boats, as well as houses, bridges, towers, and rivers.
Wait, even if it is the first picture scroll in Chinese history, not many people will find it meaningful...
In particular, very few of Zhang Zeduan's works have survived, and all of them are national treasures. The original "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is missing, and all the existing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" are imitations...
The harvest from this box was so great that Young Master Tang could no longer express his emotions in words. After counting the items in this box, Lao Li and his two apprentices also opened their mouths in surprise.
Speechless...
Is this the accumulation of a family?
Of course, it is not that exaggerated. Except for those painters from the Tang and Song Dynasties, the other painters were basically of the same era as the Pan family at that time. These paintings may have been collected before they became famous, or maybe they were collected after they became famous.
But all in all, for a living painter, the value of his paintings is generally not so high as to be ridiculous...
Therefore, when the Pan family collected these things at that time, they did not actually need to spend much effort. In their eyes, these paintings were probably not as valuable as that box of silver. But today, hundreds of years have passed.
All the gold and silver combined may not be able to exchange for half of the things in this box...
Now, even Young Master Tang himself feels the horror of this Pan family treasure...
Perhaps in the eyes of the Pan family back then, the things they left behind were of little use, otherwise it would never have been possible to just collect such a box. In their opinion, those gold and silver were more useful, but it was a pity that they had no use for them anyway.
I could not have expected this situation today...
Antiques from the prosperous age, gold from the troubled times, now is the peaceful and prosperous age. The value of these items is much more precious than those dozens of boxes of gold and silver...
After counting all the things, Lao Li and Xiaotian put them back into the boxes one after another, and then opened the next box...
On that day, except for the need to solve personal problems, the four of them, Mr. and Mrs. Tang, never left this room. Even if they had to eat, they all spent their time here...
After a whole day, Young Master Tang was almost numb, because he saw too many treasures...
If Ye Qun hadn't pulled it out forcibly, I'm afraid Young Master Tang would still be in a warehouse looking at many boxes in a daze...
That night, Young Master Tang did not go to Yuquan Mountain Nursing Home, but directly booked a room for himself in this heaven and earth...
Early the next morning, after Mr. Tang finished washing, had breakfast, and was about to go to the warehouse, an unexpected phone ringing appeared...
Listening to the ticking ringtone of the phone, Young Master Tang thought it was not his, because his phone was clearly set to a piece of music, but the vibration in his pocket immediately reminded Young Master Tang that he seemed to have more than one phone...
…
Young Master Tang took out a small pure black mobile phone from his trouser pocket. The ticking sound was coming from this mobile phone...
Why is this phone ringing?
Young Master Tang looked at the black phone, hesitated for a few seconds and then pressed the answer button...
"Hello, number 1547, I am 007, you can call me head from now on..."
A sinister male voice came from the other side of the phone...
I am 1547? Are you 007?
Are you kidding me?
But in an instant, Young Master Tang remembered the special nature of this mobile phone, and he stopped laughing when he originally wanted to...
This phone is his, but not his...
This is a customized machine. He didn't buy it, but it was given to him when he got the little blue notebook from Guoan...
Didn’t I agree that I would just be in name?
Why does this phone ring, and a person claiming to be Zero Zero Seven suddenly appears...
"I call you my head? Who are you?" Young Master Tang asked.
"As I said just now, I am 007 and you are 1547." 007 said.
"What 1547,007, what on earth are you talking about?" Young Master Tang shook his head and asked.
"1547, when you got this phone, no one told you your phone number? Didn't it appear on your work ID?" Wucuo Novel Network's No.007 said quietly.
Work Permit?
It was just given to me by my elder brother, but he did not say anything about the number 1547 when he gave it to me. However, Mr. Tang has always carried the small blue notebook with him, so he might as well take it out and take a look...
Young Master Tang took out the small blue notebook he carried with him from his pocket and opened it. On it was a one-inch photo of Young Master Tang, stamped with a steel seal...
There is no name below, only a number, and the number in that number is exactly 1547...
"How is it? Did you see it?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip the words. The person opposite seemed to have guessed that Young Master Tang would take out his own notebook to verify, and said directly after a while.
"I saw it." Mr. Tang nodded.
"Well, when you answer this phone in the future, you will have no name, only a code. Your code is 1547. All the people who contact you using this phone will call you 1547. Similarly, we do not have names.
, only the code name, my code name is 007!" On the other end of the phone, the voice of 007 came again...
"Yes, I am 1547!" Mr. Tang said solemnly. Although he still didn't know why this call came to him, but since he had joined the National Security Bureau, he still had to abide by some rules...
"Very good, 1547, I know you have a special talent. Now the country has an important mission for you to complete. I wonder if you are willing?" 007 asked softly after hearing Mr. Tang's answer.
.
In fact, 007 is also a little unhappy. In the past, he gave orders directly, but now, he has to discuss with him. Really, isn't it the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to do his best for the country?
?
"An important mission? What is it?" Young Master Tang was stunned when he heard this. Is this a task that is being assigned to him?
"This is a mission, not something! In short, the country wants to give you a task now and ask you to complete it. I wonder if you are willing?" 007 said directly.
