Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Tian was already restless, especially when the cart was getting closer and closer.  Wang Tian could almost tell that the thing on the cart was not a simple object, even if it was covered with red cloth.  Queen Theresa walked slowly at this moment, but with a smile, she was already at Wang Tian's side.  She said softly with a smile.  "Wang Tian, ??have you been waiting for a long time? I think Ambassador Beckhadon should have told you something about me going to get the treasure. So now that I have brought the treasure, I wonder if Mr. Wang Tian also  Can you show me the Old Testament, and we have completed the transaction?" "Wang Tian didn't know that the transaction was going to happen today, but he put the Old Testament in the hotel safe.  Wang Tianxia said in a second.  "Queen Teresa, I didn't bring the Old Testament with me today, but can I take a look at the treasure you brought first? If I like it, I won't rule out going back to get it now." Wang Tian is also staying in Paris  It had been a week, so why didn't he want to return home early?  Queen Teresa smiled lightly, then clapped her hands.  "Of course you can appreciate it. Quick, one by one, you can lift off the red cloth of the treasure and ask Mr. Wang Tian to take a good look at it." After listening to the instructions, the attendants first opened the cloth and silk one by one.  But when the cloth was lifted, Wang Tian was really stunned.  Because I heard Master Beckhadon say that the treasure is related to the Old Summer Palace, but the treasure that comes into view now seems to have little to do with the Old Summer Palace, or it has nothing to do with it at all.  This is just a bracelet.  I still don¡¯t know what material the bracelet is made of.  Wang Tian¡¯s surprised expression even surprised Beck Hatton.  Queen Teresa obviously said she wanted to bring the treasure from the Old Summer Palace.  Beck Hatton doesn't know which one it is at the moment.  Su Lele asked curiously and angrily.  "Ambassador Beck Hatton, you can't deceive our feelings like this and make us trust you so much." "No. No, I don't know what's going on." Beck Hatton was completely different.  Wang Tian, ??on the other hand, showed a calm expression afterward. After being stunned at the beginning, he slowly walked up to the treasure.  Wang Tian never despises any treasure. Since it is cherished by Queen Teresa and brought by her, I am afraid this treasure will not be bad.  Queen Theresa did not state any information about the treasure.  Or maybe she also wanted to test Wang Tian.  The former had already acquired the bracelet and was gently stroking it.  "Okay." "This thing is a good thing." After Wang Tian touched it, he praised it from time to time.  If Wang Tian doesn¡¯t take a closer look at this thing.  It's possible that I missed it.  But when you take a closer look, you know that this is definitely a treasure.  First of all, the material of this bracelet is more precious than Agarwood¡¯s bracelet.  He is Hai Huang.  Maybe everyone doesn¡¯t know Haihuang, but if you tell me its full name, everyone will definitely laugh.  Haihuang is Haihuanghuali.  Also known as Hainan Dalbergia, Dalbergia Dalbergia and Hainan Yellow Rosewood.  It is native to China Sea | South Island, Diaoluo Mountain Jianfengling, low-altitude plains and hilly areas. It mostly grows in sunny places about 100 meters above sea level in Diaoluo Mountain.  Because of its slow growth, solid wood, and beautiful patterns, it has always been ranked as one of the five famous trees. Its brown eyes took 70 years to become the beautiful shape they are today.  Wang Tian knows that Hainan Huanghuali is precious and rare.  The current sea yellow not only has beautiful patterns and soft color, it also has an addictive aroma.  This incense is undoubtedly half of the sea yellow.  But the other half is Queen Theresa's body scent.  Yes, I believe this sea-yellow bracelet has been with Teresa for a long time and has been particularly smoothed by Teresa.  Compared with ordinary sea yellow and newly mature sea yellow bracelets, the luster and feel are definitely superior.  Wang Tian unconsciously fell in love with this treasure. Not only was its taste addictive, but its ghost eyes were also very particular.  In short, the pattern is very beautiful, making people dazzled and intoxicated.  Queen Teresa seems to know Wang Tian very well.  She knows that people who make sculptures will be very interested in natural materials, especially this kind of product that combines art and nature, which makes people want to stop.  Theresa grasped Wang Tian¡¯s thoughts, and before she could say anything, Wang Tian was already drunk.  ¡°How is it, do you like this treasure?¡± Teresa came closer, and sure enough, the scent of this sea yellow bracelet was somewhat similar to that of the beautiful lady.  "I really like this baby. Sea yellow is a first-level protected plant in our country. Nowadays, it is even more difficult to find a 70-year-old plant.She has grown brown eyes. If I guess correctly, this sea yellow bracelet has been with the Queen for a long time, right?  "    "Why do you say that?  "Queen Teresa said curiously. "Because this sea yellow has the warmth of the human body, I guess Queen Teresa must play with it every day.  "Wang Tianke knows the value of sea yellow. It is not only more valuable than gold, but also much higher than gold. "In addition, in addition to its simple appreciation value, it also has medicinal value. Wearing it on the body will be beneficial to the body.  It activates blood circulation, clears the skin, and makes people feel refreshed. Most importantly, after people play with it, it will become more and more beautiful, and its value will also increase accordingly. Queen Theresa rarely appears like this.  Expression, Queen Teresa really likes this treasure. In fact, Queen Teresa also had some hesitations in choosing this treasure from the Old Summer Palace. She has worn this bracelet for nearly three years.  Ten years ago, her mother gave it to her when she was 18 years old. As for whether her mother wore it when she was young, Teresa didn¡¯t know. But in order not to damage the integrity of the Chinese Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace, Teresa made the decision.  I took out this sea-yellow bracelet that I accessorized with. It was also obtained in China. Besides, it has the name of Empress Xiaozhuang of the Ming Dynasty written on it. This is not just a piece of jewelry.  A work of art is also a cultural relic. This is not only a Chinese cultural relic, but also a Western cultural relic that witnesses the history of the Queen of France. ¡°Your Majesty, since you gave me such a precious treasure in exchange.  What else can I say? I can accept this one.  But, I don¡¯t know what the other thing is.  Can I take a look at it too?  "Wang Tian agreed without hesitation, but at this time Teresa felt a little regretful. "This is a treasure. If it is really handed over to Wang Tian, ??I am afraid that she will never get the same bracelet again. "Before, Special  Queen Lisa didn't know the value of the sea yellow yet, but with Wang Tian's words just now and her deep feelings for the bracelet, it was like her own relative, and Teresa couldn't let go of it for a moment.  "Mr. Wang Tian.  I think I may not be able to exchange this treasure with you.  " As soon as Teresa said this, Beckhadon was also stunned. Su Lele expressed surprise. This was not like the style of a queen, and she was a bit petty. Wang Tian smiled. Chengfu Shenshen said. "Your Majesty the Queen.  Are you kidding me? One minute you vowed that I could exchange Yibao with you and recommended this bracelet to me. Now you said that you would not exchange it with me and would take it back. Are you sure you are not with me?  I am joking?  "Wang Tian has already pinched the bracelet in his hand, as decisively as he pinched Theresa's breasts. The look in his eyes that did not tolerate provocation made the Queen take a half step back. The sharp look in her eyes made Theresa unable to  He said it right. He asked Wang Tian naked as if he was standing in front of him.  Now that I have made a decision, I have to pay for my decision. I leave this bracelet to you.  " Wang Tian put the bracelet between his noses for a second and sucked on it. It felt like Theresa was being sucked. "Queen Theresa, thank you for the bracelet. I think you can tell me next.  What is this second treasure?  Teresa was a little sad, and the second treasure that Teresa prepared was indeed related to the Old Summer Palace. This treasure was the bronze animal head of the zodiac animal in the Old Summer Palace. When the attendant opened the red cloth  , Wang Tian can clearly see that the copper material is red copper, and the color of its body is dull and old. When it comes to the zodiac animal head, there is no need to explain too much. In Chinese history, the Ten Years of the Old Summer Palace in the Qing Dynasty.  The animal heads of the two zodiac animals are famous far and wide. They can be said to be national treasures. At that time, the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals were looted by the British and French forces and scattered everywhere. It is also a pain for the Chinese people.  The zodiac animal head and the human-faced animal body are very similar to the zodiac animal head in the Old Summer Palace, but Wang Tian does not dare to rashly say that the animal head is the one lost in the Old Summer Palace. Wang Tian knows what this is about, so he cannot be so concerned about it.  Seeing this piece of animal head come out, Beckhadon felt much calmer. He explained to Su Lele, "Su Lele, look, I didn't lie to you.  , this treasure is the zodiac horse head in the Old Summer Palace. Look at the red bronze cast statue of the horse head. The material is good. The cloud-like shape and curly hair on the top of the head show that this is a typical European prince charming.  , no doubtIt reflects the design style of Italian designer Castiglione.  "Wang Tian, ??you should know that your country's great garden, the Qing Dynasty royal garden Yuanmingyuan, with its zodiac animal heads, was designed by the Italian Qing Dynasty court painter Castiglione." There is something in Beckhadon's words. He means that as long as China  The outstanding works of that era must have a close relationship with Western artists.  But what Beck Hatton said is indeed true. The creative design of this zodiac animal head comes from Italian nationality Castiglione.  Therefore, each zodiac sign is not like the zodiac signs in Chinese myths and legends, but has some similarities with foreign zodiac signs.  ¡°However, Beckhadon¡¯s words are still a bit overgeneralized.  To be more precise, part of the fountain in front of Haiyan Hall in Yuanmingyuan, a royal garden of the Qing Dynasty, was designed by Italian Qing Dynasty court painter Castiglione, supervised by Frenchman Chiang Youren, and finally made by Qing court craftsmen. This is more complete!  Without the wisdom of the Chinese people, no matter how talented these two talented artists are, it would be difficult for them to express such a majestic garden. Wang Tian believes that even without these two artists, this garden may not be possible.  must.  Said that this was the horse head of the zodiac sign, Wang Tian looked at it for a while and really didn't find anything wrong.  But the problem arises like this.  Everyone knows that the heads of the twelve zodiac animals were plundered by the British and French forces and then scattered around the world. Among them, the rat and rabbit heads were collected by the French.  But as early as five years ago, the French Pinault family announced the return, and the bronze statues of cow heads, monkey heads, tiger heads, pig heads and horse heads had already returned to China as scheduled, and the horse heads appeared here.  Then it's not normal.  Could it be that the animal head that was returned to China at that time was not the real one from the Old Summer Palace, but a re-creation by a Western sculptor?  Wang Tian was stupid, but Teresa was extremely serious.  "Mr. Wang Tian, ??five years ago, our French Pinault family announced the return of a batch of bronze statues and animal heads from China, and then these treasures were successfully returned to China. But before this, you may not understand. Here is  This matter has been very controversial in our country, and the Pinault family was finally forced to replace the two zodiac animal heads. The family asked Chelsea, a famous French sculptor at the time, to make a similar zodiac animal head and returned it to you.  Among the several animal heads in the country, the horse head and the cow head were made by Chelsea. Two years later, Chelsea got seriously ill for unknown reasons and died soon after. It was still popular in France that we should not deceive the Chinese.  The criticism lasted for a long time, but this storm was quickly suppressed in our country, so it never reached your country. "So, the real horse head and cow head are still in your country?" Wang Tian was extremely shocked.  "Yes, it has been in France. Later, our Elizabeth family took back the two animal heads, and the animal heads have been kept in the Palace of Fontainebleau. So I took it out today to express my apology to you Chinese people. I also thought about it.  I would like to take this opportunity to present you with the real horse head." Teresa knew that Wang Tian would not be able to refuse this treasure.  As for what kind of turmoil Wang Tian will cause when he brings it back to China, should he bury the truth that he owns such a precious zodiac horse head, or should he return it to the motherland and uncover this conspiracy.  That is Wang Tian¡¯s own business.  Wang Tianzhen couldn't refuse, or in other words, he couldn't refuse. The zodiac animal heads have been what the motherland has been looking for, and he hopes to take back these treasures.  "Today, the whereabouts of the dragon, snake, sheep, chicken, and dog heads among the twelve zodiac animal heads are still unknown It is a good thing to be able to recover this horse head.  "Queen Teresa, I think if you are sincere enough to apologize, I think you can definitely give me the cow head. I will take it back to my motherland together." "But, I can only give you seven pieces.  Treasures, our Old Testament is indeed precious, but its value may not be enough for us to exchange eight treasures." Theresa has her principles.  "Then what if I say that I can use my money to redeem it? I think my sincerity should be able to impress you. Of course, if money cannot buy it, I think the Statue of Victory in the Louvre must have it.  This is the condition of exchange. "Wang Tian mentioned this immortal work of art. Indeed, in the West, this is a masterpiece. Wang Tian has no intention of taking it back to China. If it stays in France, his works will have more vitality.  I will also be remembered in history here.  Theresa smiled, and there was obvious joy in the corners of her mouth. It would be better to exchange it for such a precious statue of the Goddess of Victory.  "Yes, if you are willing to exchange for the Statue of Victory, we are very willing to exchange the cow"?Given to you together, we hope that these two zodiac animal heads can make you confident in your search for other animal heads.  "Wang Tian thanked him, and then he had to shift his final focus to the last treasure that needed Yibao. "Yes, the Empress Dowager Cixi now has one of the night pearls in his hand, and there is another one in the special one.  If Queen Lisa can get this luminous pearl and return to the country to gather the other five luminous pearls, then the last three luminous pearls may not be far away. Of course, if she can get another one from Paris.  Night Pearl, that is the most beautiful ending. ¡°Queen Teresa, I want you to know that I got a Night Pearl yesterday.  To be honest, the Luminous Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty really does not have much historical significance to your country. For example, the influence of the Old Testament on your Western countries. I dare to say that I am absolutely determined to obtain the Luminous Pearl.  .  "Teresa did not show any objection to Wang Tian's tone of voice, and was more accustomed to the way of communicating with this young Chinese man. "Didn't I say that I will give you my night pearl.  In fact, I can give them to you, because I actually have a lot of jewelry.  " "I know this. Queen Teresa has always been generous, but as far as I know, in Paris, France, in addition to the luminous pearl you own, another one seems to be treasured in the Palace of Fontainebleau. Would you like to take a look at it?  Give that one to me too.  " Teresa didn't know who told Wang Tian this, but Wang Tian knew it and brought it up at this moment. Teresa really didn't know how to refuse. Teresa shook her head slightly, but it wasn't that she didn't  Agreed, but she was helpless. "Well, you have said so, what else can I say? I will give that one to you as well. It will be my future dowry for you and Su Lele. You can take this orb.  Keep it well.  " Su Lele lowered her head shyly for a moment. "Thank you, Queen Theresa.  " When Wang Tian heard this, he smiled happily. With these two luminous pearls, plus the moment before him, there were five in the country, and now there are only two luminous pearls lost outside. Of course, those two are also  The two largest of the ten orbs, one is in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the other is the largest of the others. Wang Tian wants to find them, but that is a matter for later.  Regarding the matter of Yi Bao, Wang Tian will rush to his residence to exchange the Old Testament. At this time, Baker Hatton will also go home and bring the Yongle Ceremony and the Cloisonne Pagoda with him.  , plus his creation of the Statue of Victory in exchange for eight treasures from two museums in Paris, France. Wang Tian definitely made a profit from this trip to Paris (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.  !
