Li Mo and Shi Lao walked for half an hour before returning to the courtyard. They learned from their mother that because their master was old and tired from the long drive, he could not come to the banquet tonight and had to change the time.

"Mom, is Master okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just tired. They live in a new house over there in Yanjiao. Your master also told me not to run back and forth to see them as soon as you come back, and to have a good rest at home first."

"Then I'll go over to visit Master in two days."

The lunch meal was quite sumptuous, and most of it was Li Mo's favorite dishes. Before he finished lunch, he received a call from Professor Zhu Changping, asking him if something had happened if he came back early.

Li Mo originally wanted to go to the school to find him tomorrow. Since he got the news first, he would go there in the afternoon. He also happened to have to meet Professor Qu and his wife, and they needed help in appraising the Western artworks they had brought back.

"When you come back for dinner in the evening, grandma will make you spicy sausages and garlic crayfish that are already on the market."

"I'll come back after talking to Professor Zhu."

Li Mo agreed immediately, this was the life he longed for most.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Li Mo walked into the faculty building. Several professors from the history department gathered together to discuss something, and the atmosphere was lively.

"Li Mo, didn't you go to London? If you come back to China so soon, the antique maintenance work there is not going well?"

When a professor saw Li Mo walking into the office, he immediately waved to him and said, while other professors who were discussing their work turned to look.

"Hello, professors."

Zhu Changping took him a bottle of mineral water from his desk and asked, "Your phone is buzzing. Is there any accident at work in London?"

Li Mo sat down on the chair and sighed and said: "The work is going on normally, but the people at the British Museum are a little bit cold to the expert group, making it seem like we have to get close to each other, and feel very unhappy when our warm faces are pressed against their cold butts.

."

"Why did the attitude over there suddenly change? Something must have happened that we don't know about. Bureau Qin didn't communicate with them?"

Professor Zhu felt that this matter was a bit strange. The news of Li Mo's return to China was revealed by his superiors, and asked him to ask Li Mo carefully what happened.

"I really don't know the specifics." Seeing several professors looking at him with disbelief, Li Mo said with a smile, "I really don't know. This is not the reason why I returned to China. It was in London.

I found some antiques there, but they were being targeted there. I was afraid that the antiques would be detained, so I chartered an emergency flight back."

Upon hearing that he had found antiques there, the professors looked suddenly enlightened. At this moment, Professor Zhu frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of antiques did you find that will be criticized?"

He couldn't explain this matter in one or two sentences. Li Mo just said: "I found nearly 60 genuine pieces of porcelain and three national treasures, as well as some Western works of art."

Several professors looked at each other. Could it be that this kid was being targeted because he had copied someone else's experience?

"Li Mo, what are the three national treasures you are talking about?" Professor Zhang coughed lightly, picked up the cup and took a sip of green tea.

"A tiger charm with silver inscriptions, a pair of golden Ou permanent cups from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and a large five-claw dragon jar from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty."

Poof, Professor Zhang spit out a mouthful of water and coughed violently.

All the professors in the office were not calm. No matter which antique they were, these three items were definitely rare treasures. Especially the last five-claw dragon vat from Yongle of Ming Dynasty. There seemed to be no such collection in China.

Especially the five-clawed dragon pattern, which must be reserved for emperors only.

Only then did they guess the real reason why Li Mo returned to China early.

Gu Tai

Those treasures were stored in the underground treasure house of Gu Yunxuan Museum. Li Mo hadn't sorted them out yet, so he changed the subject and asked: "Teacher, has the excavation work at Yunshan stopped?"

"The first phase of work has been completed. There are so many Neolithic pottery unearthed in the early stage that it will take a long time to organize and register them all. In addition, the Yunshan Cultural Heritage Museum has not yet been renovated, so the large number of pottery is not available.

There is no place to store it, so the work will be temporarily suspended after the first phase is completed, and the time for the second phase of excavation will be discussed later.”

"That's fine. When the research work on ancient characters officially begins, I will also participate in learning."

"Preliminary research work has begun, but there are not enough manpower, so progress is relatively slow."

Li Mo chatted with several professors in the conference room for half an hour, and then left.

Professor Qu and his wife were at the Art Institute. Li Mo asked several people to find their office, but Professor Qu was the only one there.

"Hello, Professor Qu."

Professor Qu looked up when he heard the sound, quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Sit down, I thought you would only come to see me tomorrow. Qu Yang said that you bought a lot of Western oil paintings and some sculptures in London.

of art, I’m still wondering what kind of masterpiece you will find.”

"I'm not afraid of Professor Qu's jokes. My knowledge of Western art is very shallow. The art I bought just felt a little different when I first saw it, so I bought it without thinking too much. No, I'm here to

You came to ask for help."

"In the domestic antique industry, your ability to appraise treasures can be said to be second to none. I believe in your eyesight. There is a high probability that the Western artworks you bring back will also contain works of art with very high artistic value. When is convenient for us, we will

Just go over and have a look if you arrange time."

"Is it okay tomorrow morning?"

Li Mo didn't want to delay it. If those things were just average, there was no need for him to store them in the underground treasure house to waste space.

"Can."

"Then I'll have someone pick you two up tomorrow."

After making an appointment with Professor Qu, Li Mo went home, took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. He lay on the sofa and wiggled his butt a few times, feeling the best at home.

Didi didi, Sanpang’s call came over. As soon as Li Mo answered the call, he heard an excited and enthusiastic voice from the other side: "Brother, my dear brother, I heard that you bought dozens of items from London this time.

Genuine porcelain. Brother, if you want to deal with some of the porcelain, brother, I will sacrifice my life and blood for you, brother, I..."

The fat man became more and more unreliable as he spoke. Li Mo quickly stopped him and said, "How did the news spread so quickly?"

"Who in the upper circles of Kyoto doesn't know this news now? I also heard that you found a five-clawed dragon jar from Ming Yongle in London. It is an imperial jar. If you want to put it up for auction, I will definitely sell the most famous dragon jar in the country.

How about inviting all those who make money to bid?”

"Stop, stop, stop, don't worry about my imperial vat. As for the ordinary porcelain, I'll pick it up and deliver it to you. The spring auction is over, and I can definitely make it in time for the autumn auction."

"Good brother, good enough brother."

"Please be quiet for now. I just have something to ask you. I also have a batch of Western artworks in my hand. If they all have some origins after identification, do you have the ability to invite rich people from abroad to come and participate in the auction?"

The man on the phone paused for a moment before asking: "Brother, are you sure?"

"No, isn't this just to say hello to you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared first."

"When will the results be available?"

"Just two or three days."

"Okay, let me first consult people in the industry to see how the current market situation of Western art is. Brother, if you have any news, please contact me immediately. By the way, I almost forgot about the more important thing, Nan Guang Wu
