"In your opinion, how much is this thing worth now?" Old Smith asked.
"Last year, I photographed a small cup of this kind, which was worth 26 million pounds, and now it must exceed 30 million pounds. There are very few such things in the world, and they are worth collecting." Mo Xiaoyu said.
This price is also the price in Old Smith's heart. He said, "Christie's auctioneer approached me and set the price at this price, but I can't guarantee it, so I didn't agree, and I don't intend to sell it now."
Mo Xiaoyu nodded, picked up the chicken bowl cup and took a closer look, he had only heard of this thing before, if he wanted to see it, he could only go to the museum to see it through the glass counter, but now this thing is right in front of his eyes , and you can hold it in your hand and play with it carefully, which is indeed a rare adventure for an antique lover.
But what happened next made Mo Xiaoyu unexpected. After he handed the cup back to Old Smith, he turned around and saw a painting hanging in a glass cover on the wall, which became more and more familiar the more he looked at it, because With his back to Old Smith, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up because he saw a painting.
This painting was shot in Hong Kong at the time, and it is said that it was finally bought by an Englishman. Unexpectedly, the person who bought this painting was Old Smith. This is Mo Xiaoyu's first painting to be auctioned. Wen Zhengming landscape.
"I took this painting in Hong Kong. It is the painting of Wen Zhengming, the four great talents of your country in the Ming Dynasty. I like it very much. I almost come here to appreciate it for half a day when I have time. Chinese landscape paintings are indeed very special. beautiful". Old Smith said.
"Well, the intellectuals in the Ming Dynasty were very sentimental. This Wen Zhengming was the person with the highest official position among the four great talents, and he lived a very long life. He lived to be ninety years old. There is an old Chinese saying that a life of seventy is rare since ancient times, and ninety Ten years old was a very long life in ancient times, and this person has excellent poetry, prose and painting, which is very powerful." Mo Xiaoyu said.
"Yes, there is a painting by Tang Bohu in this auction. I have already paid a deposit, and it is bound to win. I want to collect the paintings of the four great talents. I don't know if I will have this opportunity in my lifetime." Old Smith said with great emotion.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Xiaoyu almost choked to death. Mo Xiaoyu was really helpless. Although it was embarrassing to be alone, this old Smith was too stupid, and he wanted to gather all of them. The paintings of the four great talents, I still sigh and wonder if I have that chance, Mo Xiaoyu really wants to say, as long as I am here, you will definitely be able to collect them all.
"Mr. Mo, are you okay?" Old Smith asked.
"It's okay, I just didn't come up in one breath, and I'm a little bit suffocated." Mo Xiaoyu looked at the painting while calming himself down.
But just when he was about to turn around, he found a stack of antiques casually placed under the painting. Mo Xiaoyu randomly found a few books and flipped through them, but when he found the third one, he found that this one was not. It was a very good notebook. Mo Xiaoyu didn't know what it was, but out of professional sensitivity, he picked it up and looked at it.
This is a big deal, because this is not an ordinary notebook, but a diary.
Mo Xiaoyu looked at Old Smith. He was still admiring the painting he bought, but he didn't know that the author of this painting was right in front of him.
However, this diary is all written in Japanese. Old Smith probably doesn't understand Japanese, and Mo Xiaoyu is also half-knowledgeable, and cannot fully translate all the words.
The reason why Mo Xiaoyu was shocked was because this might be Zhutian's diary that had been lost for a long time, how could it appear here, and how could it be seen by him by such a coincidence.
At first, Mo Xiaoyu thought it was a conspiracy, but Mo Xiaoyu looked at Old Smith from the reflection of the glass counter, and found that his attention was all on the painting, and he didn't notice the movement here at all.
Mo Xiaoyu continued to search, taking advantage of Old Smith's inattention, and hid Zhutian's diary in an ancient Chinese book.
"Mr. Speaker, these ancient books seem to be part of the long-lost Yongle Canon in the Ming Dynasty in China. Can I take this library out and have a look at your home?" Mo Xiaoyu earnestly hoped that Old Smith would promise himself .
Old Smith may not have noticed this, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't take out anything here. If you really want to see it, you can take pictures. If you can stay with me for a few more days, you can accompany me at this time every day." I'll come down and look at these things."
"Oh, sorry, okay, I'll take a few pictures first." After talking, Mo Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and started to take pictures, but this notebook is too much, not only in Japanese, but also some incomprehensible symbols and pictures. Judging from the degree of adhesion of this diary, Old Smith may Never opened it.
At the beginning, Mr.Mies also watched Mo Xiaoyu take a few pictures, and then went directly to other places to see her baby. Mo Xiaoyu thought it was too slow to take pictures, so he directly turned on the video and started shooting videos. Then he will take screenshots and see Every diary has something to write in it.
This is much faster. The more than 200 pages of the diary were shot in the video, and a few photos were pretended to be taken. At this time, Old Smith was also tired, so the two agreed to come back to see these collections tomorrow.
"Mr. Mo, since you are also going to the auction, why don't we go together?" Old Smith asked.
"No problem, I wish for it." Mo Xiaoyu smiled.
What he wants most now is to go back to his room as soon as possible, look at the things he took, and then translate them one by one. I don¡¯t know what is recorded in this famous Zhutian diary?
Taketa Palace is the cousin of Emperor Hirohito of Japan and the grandson of Emperor Meiji. He is in charge of the construction and hiding of Japan's 175 treasure houses in the Philippines. Therefore, it has always been said that he has a diary. As for this diary It has always been a mystery whether there is any record of where these riches are hidden, because no one has ever seen the diary.
Now that it actually fell into his own hands, how could Mo Xiaoyu not be excited.
The treasure map that Bailu stole in Paris, and the treasure map that Bailu said was in the hands of old Smith, are all single sheets, and they are treasure maps of a single location, but if Zhutian¡¯s diary is true, Then the value inside may far exceed those few leaflets of treasure maps.
"How about the old guy's stash, isn't it rich?" Before Mo Xiaoyu returned to the guest room and sat down, Dong Zimo from the opposite room opened the door and came in.
"It's ok, a lot more than I expected". Mo Xiaoyu said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
