Regarding the words on the plaque at the entrance of the Grand Canal Museum, Yang Jing thought about it and finally chose his second master Xiao Zhenguo.
It's not that Mr. Yang's handwriting is bad, but as a direct disciple, Yang Jing was worried that if he didn't find his master for help, Mr. Xiao would probably carry a broom and beat him all over the world.
For the sake of your own safety, you'd better just let Mr. Xiao write the plaque.
Besides, considering the Second Master's status in the calligraphy world, who dares to say "no" to his calligraphy? You know, Mr. Xiao's regular script and running script are recognized as masters in the domestic calligraphy world. Not to mention surpassing Mr. Xiao, the number of calligraphers who can be compared with Mr. Xiao can be counted on one hand.
After returning to Yanjing, Yang Jing will mention this matter to his second master.
After the acceptance, this magnificent private museum is just waiting to put up its exhibits and then open for business.
But before that, Yang Jing still needed to sort out the treasures he had stored in the storage space. In the past few years, he had been busy collecting things in the space, and the huge space was almost full. Yang Jing had never carefully sorted out the treasures he had collected from all over the place.
So while he had nothing to do and there was space and conditions in the huge museum basement, Yang Jing planned to sort out all the treasures in his storage space.
Yang Jing did not accompany the princess at night, but found an excuse.
The excuse was simple: this museum carried his dream of more than twenty years. Now that the museum was built, he would feel like something was missing if he didn't sleep in it.
Although this excuse was poor and speechless, the considerate princess just agreed to Yang Jing's request with a smile.
A smart woman knows how to control the distance between husband and wife. Don't think that it is a good thing to keep your husband by your side all day long. Little do you know that if a wife really ties her husband too tightly, it will be counterproductive...
After dinner, Yang Jing drove to the museum by himself. Although the museum has not yet opened, there are still more than ten security guards on duty 24 hours a day.
Yang Jing came to the museum, opened the personal passage to the underground safe, turned off all the surveillance probes in the underground safe, and then walked into the underground safe.
Yang Jing didn't want to expose the secret of the holy ring, so all the surveillance cameras in the underground safe were turned off with his authorization, and without his authorization, these surveillance cameras could not be opened.
Although the security guards didn't understand why the big boss locked himself in the underground vault, they had no choice but to follow orders.
The huge underground safe was empty, with nothing in it. The large safes used to hold national treasure-level collections were still being customized, and the shelves for holding ordinary collections had not been moved in either.
According to Yang Jing's definition of museum collections, the treasures he considers to be "ordinary" would definitely be treasures of the town if placed in other provincial museums. As for the treasures he considers to be "national treasures", they are truly national treasures!
It's because he got so many good treasures in the past two years that any one of them is an incredible treasure.
Once the door of the underground vault is closed, it becomes almost a sealed whole, but there are still several special ventilation ducts to provide oxygen to the vault. Because according to Yang Jing's prediction, some collections sometimes need to be protected, and the protection work will be carried out in a large room specially set aside on the first floor of the underground vault, so the necessary ventilation equipment is still necessary, otherwise how can those protection experts work here?
Now, Yang Jing is in this large room which will be used for cultural heritage protection work in the future.
With a thought, a large number of antique artworks suddenly and quietly appeared in the originally empty room, and the brilliant light almost dazzled Yang Jing's eyes.
Yang Jing then realized that he had been desperately searching everywhere for the past two years, and had actually collected so many good things without realizing it.
Not all of these treasures are national treasures. At least the ones in the upper left corner are not precious.
The glass-painted snuff bottle, the Qianlong folk kiln brush washer, and the Yudian-marked Haitianxurisun Duan inkstone are definitely not treasures. At least among Yang Jing's numerous collections, these are definitely the least valuable.
These three items were all bought by Yang Jing from a shop called Huang Benchu in the Alfie Antique Market in London. At that time, Yang Jing had just received the Holy Ring. The Qianlong folk kiln brush washer was given to Yang Jing by Huang Benchu and was not worth much at all.
Although these three collections are not valuable, they are very meaningful to Yang Jing. If Yang Jing was not really short of money, he would not have sold the three Picasso sketches he found in Valdi Castle.
But it was too late to say anything now. Since the three sketches had already been sold, Yang Jing would not regret it. After all, when it came to Picasso's works, he still had several of his oil paintings in his hands...
In addition to these three collections, there is the book "Miscellaneous Talks of Ancient People" that Yang Jing bought with his grandfather and uncle at the Grand Canal Antique City after returning from the UK.
This book is actually a genuine Qing Dynasty Guangxu edition, but the boss didn't understand and forged it to be a Qing Dynasty Kangxi edition. However, Yang Jing saw through it and eventually bought it for one thousand yuan, which was considered a small bargain.
In addition to this book, there is also a copy of Huajian Ji. This 45-page book appears to be a private edition from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but it contains five pages of precious Southern Song Shu editions. These five pages of Song Shu editions alone are priceless. This is the first big bargain Yang Jing really picked up!
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
