Because of the emergence of greed, Grandet, who became a little overwhelmed, did not realize that because of his temporary misconduct, Jane actually connected all the wrong things she felt before and exposed her old secrets.

He stretched out his hand and gently followed his delicate fingertips on Geng's little forehead. However, when Jian'er was so flushed, Geng didn't care about fighting with Grandet. His round eyes narrowed, showing an extremely enjoyable look, just like eating a elixir. Master, the master is giving him a hair, which is so rare and comfortable... What? Ask him if he is still angry? Angry? What is that thing? How can he be more important than giving him a hair!

Seeing that Geng Geng became quiet, Jian'er breathed a little relieved. Okay, at least one of them will be comforted. As for the other..., it's easy to do.

"I want to buy items from Z. As long as I like it, 'money' is definitely not a problem." Jian'er put accent on the most critical word "money".

Because Jian'er knew very well that for a person who was out of control, it was useless to present facts and reasoning, and it was only the right way to divert his attention with what he cared more about. And for this gentleman who acted the same name as the miser in Balzac's novel and was also very similar in Mo, what was the most concerned about?

Sure enough, after hearing the word Jane emphasized, Grandet's ears moved, and then his eyes lit up. The arm that was originally waving vigorously stopped suddenly. Money?! As long as you like money, it is definitely not a problem! Oh, my great Satan, this sentence sounds so wonderful!

Although Jian'er looks very simple in dressing, Grandet never doubts about Jian'er's ability to pay. Haven't you seen who the person brought this person? You should know that the generous gentleman was tired of spending all his money here, it would definitely be an astronomical figure. Birds of a birds of feather flock together. Can such a generous gentleman show his extreme respect? Will it be a pauper?

So, the next second, Mr. Grandet made a big change of face again. His eyebrows were bent, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth were pulled open to both sides. An old face smiled into a chrysanthemum: "Of course, my most honorable guest, is it a Chinese antique? It's absolutely fine. Whether it's calligraphy and painting, porcelain or antiques of gold and stone, I can say that I have everything here. By the way, the heads of the twelve animals, I have it here. Believe me, my noble lady, I will definitely have treasures that satisfy you here, and you will definitely feel that this trip is worth it." In fact, Grandet's potential words meant that our things must be so good that you can't help but take out the last steel bang in your pocket.

The heads of the twelve animals? What a thing, it really makes people feel scary.

Wait, twelve, twelve, how does this number sound..., not right! Jian'er's pupils shrank suddenly and almost jumped up suddenly. She finally realized why these words combined together make people feel so familiar. The heads of the twelve animals, what this guy is talking about is the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac beast in the Old Summer Palace, right? Jian'er felt that she seemed to hear her "dongdong" heartbeat.

The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace, also known as the "Yuan Mingyuan Beast", "Yuan Mingyuan Beast bronze statues, etc.", are part of the fountain in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, the former Qing Dynasty royal garden.

This group of bronze statues was designed by the Italian Qing Dynasty court painter Lang Shining, European missionary Lang Shining (e), designed and supervised by F. Chinese Jiang Youren (R.oist,), and made by Qing court craftsmen.

The fountain is called the "hydraulic clock" and the "twelve zodiac signs of the time fountain". The twelve orc statues of the twelve zodiac signs are arranged in the shape of eight on both sides of the fountain. The south is the rat, the tiger, the dragon, the horse, the monkey, the dog of the zodiac signs, and the north is the ox, the rabbit, the snake, the sheep, the rooster, and the pig of the zodiac signs. The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs will take turns spraying water every day. At each hour, the corresponding animal will spray water for two hours. At twelve pm, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs will spray water at the same time, and the scene is spectacular. It is also the largest European-style garden landscape in the Old Summer Palace.

However, since the coalition forces of the two countries burned the Old Summer Palace in 186o, the copper beast components of the twelve zodiac signs have been lost overseas for more than 140 years.

Among the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace, there are five that have returned: ox, monkey, tiger, pig, and horse. Except for pigs, the return of the other four bronze statues is related to the auction.

The three coppers of cow, tiger and monkey were sold at the Hong Kong Island auction in 2000 in 2000 Hong Kong, 14000 Hong Kong and 7400 Hong Kong respectively. They are now stored in the Beijing Poly Museum of Art under Poly for public viewing.

The bronze statue of horse was created by Dr. Ho, a national treasure engineering consultant. People may not know much about this, but when it comes to Dr. Ho, another name, the Macau Gambling King, everyone may have some impression. And the bronze statue of horse was bought by King Ho for HK$6.91 million before the auction and donated it to the country.

The only thing that did not intervene in the auction company, but returned in a public welfare manner was the bronze statue of the pig, but it was also related to the King He Gambling. At the beginning of 2oo3, my country's special fund to rescue lost overseas cultural relics found the whereabouts of the bronze statue of the pig in M ​​Country. After hard work, collectors from M Country agreed to transfer the bronze statue of the pig to the special fund. In September 2oo3, King He Gambling donated more than 60,000 yuan to the special fund to buy the bronze statue of the pig. He then transferred it to Poly Group and stored it in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing for public viewing.

At this point, five of the twelve bronze statues of the zodiac beast in the Old Summer Palace have returned.

Rat and rabbit copper are collected by private collectors in F. In February 2019, the price was auctioned at Christie's Auction House in F. At that time, the estimated price was 8 million to 10 million euros. It was later purchased by the Pinault family of the F. Luxury Group. In April 2013, Mr. Pinault, chairman of the F. Luxury Group, said that he was willing to donate the copper copper of rat and rabbit back to the Z government.

The other five bronze statues of dragons, snakes, sheep, chickens and dogs have been missing. Can this Mr. Grandet have these five lost bronzes in his hand?

"How many?" Jian'er held her breath and asked anxiously, "Oh my God, can she really see this country's important weapon today?"

"What?" Grandet was talking so happily. Jane's brainless problem made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"I mean copper, how many copper do you have? What kind of copper is it?" Jian'er asked anxiously.

"Ah, noble lady, are you talking about the head of that animal?" Grandet's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, he just said casually and just wanted to be cute. Just be interested. He knew that this person should be the kind of person who is not short of money. As long as they liked it, money should definitely not be a problem. He was afraid that this person would not be interested. Now, seeing that Jian'er hadn't read it yet, he was already interested in what he was here, and Grandet almost jumped up with joy. This is really wonderful.

"Yes, that's right, it's the head of the animal you mentioned." Jane is no longer interested in correcting Mr. Grandet's uneducated expression. She is now only concerned about the situation of the baby she is asking about.

"Yes, it's the head of that animal. I remember that there seem to be two more here, yes, it should be two." Grandet replied.

"Take me to see!" Jian'er ordered directly.

"Of course, please, please." Grandet led Jane forward.

"What zodiac sign is your copper here?" Jane paused, thinking of Mr. Grandet's uncultured expression before, for fear that this person would not understand what he was talking about, so she quickly changed her expression method, "I mean the head of that animal, what kind of animal is it."

"This, that..." A simple question made Grandet fuck Grandet's face, touched his nose but didn't say anything.

"What's this one?" Jian'er stopped and looked at Grandet suspiciously, "Can you really don't know which bronze path you have collected?"

After Jane said this, Grandet became even more embarrassed. He really didn't know. But can he say this now? So he coughed and his face twisted: "That, noble lady, don't you think it's more fulfilling to lift the answer to this mystery yourself?"

"Then let's go and see it quickly." Without noticing the expression on Grandet's face that was not very right, Jane nodded in agreement, and that's true. So Jane took a quicker step, and she felt a little trotting.

"Okay, noble lady, don't worry, things will never run away there..." Although Jian'er's legs are not too long, she can't resist her youngness and her legs are straightforward. As soon as this movement speeds up, Grandet is a little unbearable. After all, this person is not young anymore and cannot be compared with Jian'er. "Slow down, slow down."

"Sorry!" Jane stopped embarrassedly when she noticed Grandet's performance, "Well, I'm just a little anxious."

"Song, my friend, don't worry, that thing won't run away from long legs. This old miser has no other skills, but his memory is still good. As long as he says there is, he will definitely not remember it. As long as you like it, it will definitely belong to you." Earl Dracula said.

"Yes, yes." Finally, Grandet stroked his chest and gasped, responding, "Don't worry, I will only entertain your group of guests, and no one will snatch you."

"Sorry." Jian'er apologized again. Although there was still a look of anxiety on her face, her steps slowed down. Although it was a little faster than before, at least Grandet had no problem walking.

********************************************************************************************************************

Although the group was not slow, there were too many things piled up in the warehouse, and the more they reached the back, the more fragile things were. This also made Jian'er slow down involuntarily.

"I said, Mr. Grandet, don't you take some protective measures?" Jian'er couldn't help it and pointed to some of the obviously fragile antiques on the ground. Although those things did not belong to our country, Jian'er didn't know much about these foreign products, but just looking at its exquisiteness, you can tell that it was definitely a treasure of the treasure of the rank that was definitely a rare one. Just by talking to this person like this, Jian'er felt distressed when he looked at it.

"Protective measures? I did it." Grandet looked at Jane for some reason, "You didn't see it anymore. Those books are still in hand. Oh, my great Satan, I really don't know why those things are so fragile and have such high requirements for temperature and humidity. Oh my God, in order to ensure that they are intact (so that he can sell them at a high price), I have to invest more money to maintain them."

"I'm not talking about those books and paintings, but there, are you going to throw them on the shelf at will?" Jian'er couldn't help but stop and asked.

"It's good to put that one directly there. They are not that fragile, they are just a bit dusty. With just a touch, it will not affect their value at all." Grandet waved indifferently, "You also saw that I am the only one here. How could I, a little old man, make everything neatly clean?"

"Can't you ask someone to take care of them for you?" Jian'er felt the veins on her forehead jumping.

"Then you have to spend money?" Grandet blurted out (Jane felt that she really wanted to pick up the hammer and give this guy a moment). When Jian's face was wrong, Grandet quickly changed his words, "I mean, as long as these things are kept like this, there is no problem with the environment here. Of course, they will be covered with some dust and look less glamorous, but this will definitely not cause much damage to them. But if someone comes in to help clean and organize it, it will not be necessary. Those erotic guys may even break them, which is worthless, right?"

"Is that true?" Jian'er looked at this person with suspicion. Why did she think that the first sentence this person said was his true thought?

"Of course!" Grandet pushed his chest hard and looked righteous, but looking at Jian'er's suspicious god, his heart still felt faint.
Chapter completed!
