Spirit Eyes of Rebirth Appraisal

After a day of rest in the castle, the jet lag was reversed.

The next day, Allie sent a stack of invitations, all from major auction houses in the UK.

The news of Huo Yan's return to England spread quickly, and the company's problems reached a fever pitch, and he had to deal with it himself.

Ji Hanyu nestled in the villa, sitting alone on the sofa, flipping through invitations from various auction houses.

The most recent auction will be held in three days. I don't know if Huo Yan can finish his official duties.

I took a look at the leaflet in the invitation letter. Most of the auction items in it were from Huaxia, but they were labeled by others.

Thinking of those despicable robbers, Ji Hanyu hated his teeth.

Because of the decline in the late Qing Dynasty, the decadent feudal system and the personal quality of rulers such as Cixi, led to the occurrence of that unbearable history.

The demise of the Qing Dynasty was full of shame, and people are reluctant to mention that humiliating history.

The Old Summer Palace was built in the 48th year of Kangxi. With the renovation and expansion of the later emperors, it can be said to be a treasure house of the entire dynasty. Even in the Daoguang Dynasty, the state affairs were declining and financial resources were insufficient. The furnishing of the Rehe River and the hunting of magnolias, but the reconstruction and decoration of the Three Gardens of the Yuanming Dynasty are still not given up.

As a result, it was robbed by foreign robbers.

A rough estimate of the total number of looted cultural relics in the Yuanmingyuan is about 150 million.From the bronze ritual vessels of the pre-Qin period to the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures.

As depicted and criticized by the famous French writer Victor Hugo: One day, two robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace, one plundered wantonly, and the other set fire to it.One of these two robbers is called France (France) and the other is called England (UK).

During the Tongzhi period, Emperor Tongzhi planned to restore the Old Summer Palace for the residence of Empress Dowager Cixi.At that time, it was planned to rebuild more than 20 palaces in more than 3000 places, mainly in the front court area, Houhu area, west and north of the Yuanmingyuan, as well as the Gongmen area of ​​Wanchun Garden, Fuchuntangkou and Qing Dynasty. Xia Tang and others.But less than ten months after the start of construction, it was forced to suspend repairs due to exhaustion of financial resources.Since then, although the Empress Dowager Cixi has built the Summer Palace, she has not completely given up on restoring the Old Summer Palace.

Until 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded and occupied the capital, the gardens in the western suburbs were robbed again.This time, the Qing government had completely lost control of the Old Summer Palace. The soldiers of the Eight Banners, bandits and ruffians took advantage of the fire and looted.

Enemies from outside are on the one hand, but our own people were never the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Regarding the history of that period, Ji Hanyu didn't want to recall it anymore, but he still engraved it in his heart.

Continuing to flip through the leaflets on the album, Ji Hanyu gritted his teeth, how many things belonged to Huaxia!

But if you want these cultural relics to return to your country, you have to buy them from the hands of your own countrymen, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to sell them.

With a shy and old face, he is clearly a robber, but he still wants to show it off with great fanfare. Sure enough, people are shameless and invincible!

With a sullen face, Ji Hanyu put down the album in his hand and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He is naturally not a cynic, at least not in this life.

However, seeing the introduction below the picture, he still had the urge to blow up the auction house.

The auction house is just a platform for Chinese people to recycle these cultural relics. Although it is commercial, it also allows these cultural relics that originally belonged to China to return to the country.

Ji Hanyu touched the seat of his heart, he hated these foreign robbers, and even more hated the bastards who betrayed the country!

In his previous life, he suspected Han Wenxiao and others' embezzlement of the literature flow, but unfortunately, before he could find the evidence, he had already 'suicide'!

"Young master, do you want lunch?" The butler came over to ask respectfully. The owner's lover had a bad face, so no one in the castle should have offended him, right?

Ji Hanyu closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he had changed back to that innocent and lovely boy, "I want to eat Chinese food."

"Okay." The butler bent down and retreated.

He also understands the principle of not giving to others what one does not want to do to others, no matter how bad his mood is, he will not vent it on others.

Deciding to go to this auction house, Ji Hanyu took out this invitation letter alone, and discussed it with Huo Tuhao in the evening.

Even if he intends to take pictures of something, he, a 20-year-old boy, will be underestimated.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Ji Hanyu went to the outer courtyard of the castle to digest food.

The castle is very large, just like what I saw when I first arrived here, with a large green area.

Some gardeners are building flowers and plants.

Seeing these vibrant plants, Ji Hanyu felt a little better.

In the evening, when Huo Yan came back, Ji Hanyu showed him the invitation letter.

"It's up to you to decide." Huo Tuhao supported him unconditionally.

"Then your job?" Ji Hanyu hesitated, he didn't want to affect Huo Tuhao's normal work because of his own business.

Huo Yan was silent for a moment. The task this time is a bit tricky, and the solution is certain, but it will not take short time. If you are in a hurry, it is inevitable that the other party will jump over the wall in a hurry.

"Well, I'll let Ellie go with you, he is more familiar with England." Huo Yan also wants to go out with the little guy, but it will take a while.

Feeling the burden on Huo Tuhao, Ji Hanyu rubbed his arms into his arms, "I'm just participating in auctions, tourist attractions, and I'll wait for you to go with me."

"Okay." Huo Yan apologized, and kissed the little liar's lips. It's rare to go abroad, but he doesn't have time to play with the little liar.

Ji Hanyu responded to the kiss, subconsciously wrapped his hands around the other's neck.

The two quickly rolled together, tossing and turning on the huge bed.

Early the next morning, when Ji Hanyu woke up, Huo Yan had already left.

On the chair next to the bed are house clothes and Ellie's contact information.

Ji Hanyu went to the bathroom to take a shower first, then changed his clothes and went downstairs to eat, and then called Ellie to ask if she was free on the day of the auction.

Huo Yan had already arranged it, it was rare that he didn't have to work, and of course Ai Li had time.

In the past few days, Ji Hanyu has been studying foreign antique knowledge hard.

Compared with the beautiful porcelain and freehand calligraphy and painting in China, these foreigners prefer colored glaze, colored paintings, and court paintings. Of course, there are also many ivory carvings and figure porcelain.

Continuing to look through the books, Ji Hanyu found that these foreigners are very fond of female-themed works of art.

There are many paintings, including fans and screens, all of which are the subjects of court women.

"Tsk tsk." Ji Hanyu smacked his tongue, looking at the women in clothes, what's with the naked culture?

Since the era of ruthlessness and blood drinking, foreigners have been so open?

Huo Yan managed to go home early today, and saw the little liar lying on the bed reading a book. Compared with his usual stern face, the little liar had a strange expression at this time, and he touched his nose from time to time, and he didn't even notice when he came in .

Hanging the coat on the hanger, Huo Yan walked over, and saw the little liar holding a book, which turned out to be a picture of a erotic palace!

Damn it, the picture is full of women!

Could it be that the little liar wants to have a taste of a woman?

Thinking of this, Huo Yan's breath became cold.

Ji Hanyu looked at it very seriously, and suddenly felt chilly around him, and looked to the side, when did a great god stand there?

"I'm back." Ji Hanyu twisted his head, but didn't notice that Huo Tuhao was angry.

"Yeah, if I didn't come back early today, how could I see such a wonderful album." Huo Yan smiled sinisterly.

Ji Hanyu glanced at the picture in his hand, and suddenly laughed, "You don't fall in love with these women with sagging breasts, do you?"

With that said, Ji Hanyu sat up and handed the book in front of Huo Tuhao, "Look at this woman, she is old enough to be your grandma, and this one, crow's feet can kill flies."

Huo Yan didn't look carefully just now, but now he realizes that these naked women are all women, not young girls.

Huo Yan looked at the little liar in a strange way. Like this kind of woman, the taste is too strong, right?

"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have!" Ji Hanyu finally felt that something was wrong, he just didn't discuss with himself, and looked at himself with such creepy eyes.

"What are these?" Huo Yan knew that he might have misunderstood, even if the little liar was curious about women, he would not choose such an old woman.

Ji Hanyu sat cross-legged on the bed, "Foreign works, the picture you see now is the work of the famous painter Sisi."

Hearing the little liar's introduction, Huo Yan became more and more puzzled, "Why did you remember to pay attention to this?" He didn't believe that the little liar would do useless work.

Ji Hanyu suddenly smiled strangely, and closed the book, "You said if I copy foreign paintings, can I send them abroad for photography?"

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows, "It's a good idea, but the copied works need to be inspected first. If the original works are collected in some large museums, there is no need to copy them."

"Yes, just look for those who have pictures and text records, but have not been born!" Ji Hanyu clapped his hands, and it turned out that Huo Tuhao was a shrewd person, or he said that there is no profiteering or businessman!

Seeing the energetic look of the little liar, Huo Yan's exhaustion also faded a lot.

Considering that Ji Hanyu was going to the auction house the next day, Huo Yan didn't bother him that night.

"This card belongs to the Swiss Bank, and there are one billion pounds in it. You take it first." Huo Yan handed the little liar a bank card and went to the auction house. If you use Huaxia coins, it will be more troublesome to convert.

One billion pounds, equivalent to 100 billion Huaxia coins.

"Are you not afraid that I will run away with this card?" Ji Hanyu felt that the card in his hand was a bit attractive.

Huo Yan suddenly laughed, "Do you know how much money is in the co-branded card I gave you?"

Ji Hanyu didn't check it, how could he know, but, "It won't be higher than one billion pounds, right?"

"Guess." Huo Yan chuckled, turned and walked to the bathroom.

Ji Hanyu was so distressed, the co-branded card was always in his wallet, why didn't he check the balance, what a failure!

Regardless of the little liar thinking over and over again about the balance in the co-branded card, Huo Tuhao slept very soundly this night.

The next day, after Ellie came to the castle, she picked up Ji Hanyu and went to Derby's Auction House.

The scale of this auction house is very large, and those who enter must go through strict inspections. Unless there is an invitation letter, they will not be able to enter.

Also, no matter what your status is, after you get here, you must hand in your weapons, which is a guarantee for the safety of other guests.

Ji Hanyu was originally harmless, and he was dressed very simply, with a white shirt and dark blue overalls, just like a student.

As for Ellie, her curvy figure made the security staff salivate.

"Are you ready?" Ellie fiddled with her big golden curly hair.

"Okay, okay." The staff stretched out their hands to invite them, and they couldn't afford to mess with the guests who could come here.

Ji Hanyu stood inside and curled his lips. This flirtatious woman, is she here to catch a winner, or to accompany him at the tailoring auction?
