Yuxiang

Albert naturally valued the works of art in Murong Xianxian's hands, but for Murong Xianxian, why not?

The reason why the Dinghai Pearl is so powerful is that 24 of them are gathered together, and it is also a truly powerful magic weapon. It can even be on the same level as the Qingjing glass bottle, yin and yang mirror, and the seal of turning the sky. The power of a single magic weapon is really limited. very.However, she now has six Dinghai beads in her hand. If she can successfully trade the seven Buddha statues in Albert's hand, she will have thirteen Dinghai beads in her hand.Although the power is not as powerful as the full set of Dinghai beads, the more you collect this magic weapon, the more powerful it will be. Thirteen pieces have already exceeded half, and there will be no practitioners who can take the blow of this Dinghai pearl. a lot of.

But these things are only her own when they are in her pocket, but she is more reserved than Albert... If she is too urgent, I am afraid that Albert will be the one who wields the knife. Don't think that it refers to creatures like vampires, but refers to the British Empire's history of enslaving the colonies for thousands of years. To put it bluntly, it is the colonial culture. Under their gentleman's coat on the surface, there is a vampire-like greed hidden.

"Please wait."

Albert turned around and went into a room. When he came out, he had an extra bunch of keys in his hand, and he waved his hand at Murong Xianxian: "Please follow me."

The two came to another room, which looked like a study room, the owner of a large study room, with many books and bookshelves, a large desk, and many oil paintings with a long-lasting atmosphere hanging on the walls. There are portraits of people and sketches of scenery, all of which are very old. Although most of them are not signed, they are also valuable ancient knowledge.

Albert came to the wall and pressed a certain place, and then there was a low vibration sound, and several floor tiles were slowly moved away, revealing a staircase leading to the underground, and there was obviously lighting equipment underneath, and there were lights flickering Bright.

After Albert waited for the floor tiles to be completely still, he led the way up the stairs, and Murong Xianxian quickly followed.There are about seventy or eighty steps in the stairs, which are a little steep.There is a small lamp installed at a distance on the wall, so it will never feel dark.

Walking down the stairs, the two walked through a not very long corridor, and stopped in front of a dark gate that was more than three meters high.This door should be a real metal door. It has been treated in a certain way, and it is shining with a dark luster. There are many keys on it... She simply counted, and there are actually nine locks. Also Intuit stronger.

The bunch of keys in Albert's hand began to function. As the door locks were opened one after another, the door was gently pushed open, and a strange aura came out from inside... This aura is very strange, not a poisonous gas. It was a very dry feeling, and Murong Xianxian guessed that this was an environment deliberately created to protect the things inside.

"Please come in."

Albert acted like a hospitable host, "This is my collection showroom. Since my great-grandfather, I have been dedicated to collecting artworks from all over the world, among which the most artworks are from China. Now, They have all been presented in front of you."

Murong Xianxian only felt funny about his words, and there was also a hint of sadness... The funny thing is that the way Albert's great-grandfather collected these artworks was not by waving a checkbook, but by waving a saber and a rifle. Sadly, as a Chinese, I can only listen to them showing off Chinese art treasures in front of foreigners.However, she will not take the act of stealing these things, it is really unnecessary, otherwise she will have a lot to do.

However, after actually entering this room, Murong Xianxian's first reaction was... This is not a collection room, but an underground museum.

Yes, although there is only such a floor here, the area is very large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a museum.She stood at one end and glanced over, but couldn't see the other end...even though there was some partition in the middle.The room is very dry, and the floor is covered with a soft red carpet, which is not only for the comfort of stepping on, but also for the protection of collections, moisture insulation, and moisture absorption requirements. At the same time, there are many dryers in this house.

These things were just skipped in the blink of her eyes, and the collections that really attracted her attention... In the nearest place, there are many weapons and armors, most of which are knight equipment from the Middle Ages. There are several stone crossbows, although they are very old, they are all well preserved, which shows that the owner has put his mind to it.

Going forward, there are more things and varieties.Oil paintings, sculptures...there are many kinds, countless, but what Murong Xianxian pays the most attention to are those artworks from China, among which ceramics account for a large part.

When she saw those Chinese artworks, Murong Xianxian immediately sent out her spiritual consciousness... Although the collection room is big enough and the things are big enough, but under the inspection of her spiritual consciousness, it only took a moment, and she quickly Already reached my goal.

The seven wooden lamp-burning Buddha statues were neatly placed in the corner. Judging from the placement, they really weren't generally neglected.

Albert saw her standing there staring at the shelf of Chinese porcelain in a daze, and said beside him: "Miss Murong, the porcelain in front of you is very important and exquisite in my collection, I believe you will appreciate it." Find the right artwork."

There was a smile on his face. Albert obviously misunderstood the moment Murong Xianxian was in a daze just now. Despite his pride, Murong Xianxian was not really interested in these so-called works of art, but she was also enthusiastic. Full of praise... To be honest, Albert's collection, both in terms of quantity and quality, as well as his care for these collections, are all worthy of praise. If the staff of a famous museum in China also has his spirit, I am afraid it will not leave so many regrets for domestic collectors.

It seems that this transaction has great hope of being concluded... Albert thought so.

Albert put a lot of effort into the classification of these collections. Walking among the rows of exquisite porcelain, Murong Xianxian felt that what she walked was not some collections, but a long river of history.Behind these collections, the evolution process of an ancient civilization is reflected.When he was following ***, Zhu Guoen once said that the history of the development of Chinese porcelain is the history of the development of the entire Chinese civilization, and the advent of a piece of exquisite porcelain has complicated processes.Under different conditions such as history, culture, customs, and natural environment, the development of porcelain is also different.

As Murong Xianxian walked, she spread her spiritual consciousness around again. For some reason, she had a premonition—there should be some good things in this British guy's collection.

The porcelain in the front has passed, and the shelf for the Buddha statue has passed, and the jade carvings are in front, and there are quite a few jade decorations full of spirit, but... Huh?what is that?

Murong Xianxian only felt a throbbing in her consciousness. She walked over and saw that the object turned out to be a black pipa... To be precise, it should be a kind of pipa similar to that carved from black jade, except that there is a total of There are only four strings, well, one of the strings is still broken... oh, it's not broken, it's empty, there is no string.

"This jade pipa was also brought back from China... Uh, Miss Murong, unfortunately, that kind of behavior is disgraceful, but this pipa is just a damaged work of art, and the workmanship is also very ordinary."

Albert did not evade the origin of the pipa, and the mediocre workmanship is not modest, because from the surface of the pipa, apart from being smooth, there is no place to praise it.But it is indeed not a work of art, but a magic weapon. Although it is defective, it is still a magic weapon that makes people frightened.

"Do you like this lute?" Albert's eyes were a bit inquiring.

Murong Xianxian's expression seems to be a little nostalgic: "I learned the pipa for a while when I was in middle school, but my family was poor at that time, so I had no choice but to sell the pipa."

God knows!

She likes to sing, but musical instruments... She played the guitar once and broke the strings.However, presumably Albert would not have mastered these materials, so he might as well play a tragic card.

"I regret that."

There was a very understanding look in Albert's eyes, which made Murong Xianxian a little embarrassed: "This pipa will be given to Miss Murong as my personal gift later, and I hope Miss Murong will not refuse."

"Mr. Albert is too kind. I would like to offer another Picasso sketch in exchange."

The other party is so kind, Murong Xianxian is not stingy, he throws peaches and repays plums. I believe that in this way, there should be no problem with the seven Buddha statues. After all, in terms of character, this Albert is not bad. .

The next time is selection. According to Lin Songxian's opinion, Murong Xianxian selected eight pieces of porcelain in one breath, five of which belonged to the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and a set of tea sets from Chenghua Doucai in the Ming Dynasty. , two Yuan blue and white figure porcelain pots... It can be seen that Albert is really heartbroken about these eight pieces of porcelain, but these porcelains are not the only ones in his collection, and they are more important to him Most of them are those western artworks in Murong Xianxian's hands.

After finalizing the works of art, Murong Xianxian casually looked at the collections placed in the corner... For Albert, the value of these collections may not be as good as that jade pipa, so he was generous Let Murong Xianxian choose a batch independently.

In his original words, he regrets what happened a hundred years ago, but the collections in this collection room belong to the whole family, not to him alone, so he can only invite Murong Xianxian to do so within the scope of his authority. Selecting a batch as his personal apology for that period of history... Having said so much, Murong Xianxian could feel his sincerity, so he readily agreed.

Murong Xianxian picked a total of 74 works of art, including the seven Buddha statues. Although these works of art are not as valuable as the eight pieces of porcelain, they are also genuine antiques. If they are traded individually, they are also very valuable.

The next day, under the supervision of notaries and appraisers, they signed the legal documents, and the transaction was officially concluded... Only the items in their hands are theirs, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Albert, welcome to China when you have time."

Standing at the entrance, Murong Xian smiled and bid farewell to Albert who came to see him off.
