Liu Yihang followed the dark staircase down to the bottom and finally saw the entire basement.
Liu Yihang had already figured out how to dispose of this batch of goods.
He plans to sift through them first, selecting the finest pieces to keep as his private collection, placing them in a miniature space, and then carrying them back in person.
He plans to donate the remaining items to the Tianzhou Museum, where Xiang Yizhai works, free of charge.
This can be considered as contributing to the recovery of cultural relics in our country.
This is also influenced by those patriots at today's auction. Too many of China's treasures have been ruined, and we need more people like them to protect and pass them on.
This batch of cultural relics is of better quality than those at today's auction. It's likely that the viscount didn't want to use them as decorations, but now they've benefited Liu Yihang.
After browsing through them, Liu Yihang selected several national treasures.
The first item is a gilded silver ewer with a design of dancing horses holding cups.
It has a flattened round belly, a lotus petal patterned lid, an arched handle, and a thin chain connecting the lid and handle. The bottom of the pot and the foot ring are decorated with a "concentric knot" pattern. It is exquisite and ingenious.
The second item is a 20-centimeter-long Xuande incense burner from the Ming Dynasty.
The Xuande incense burner from the Ming Dynasty is hailed by collectors as the epitome of exquisite craftsmanship and the most unique of all.
Among the existing Xuande incense burners, those larger than 20 centimeters are extremely rare, and they are even the best color for Buddhist scripture paper.
The six-character mark on its base, "Da Ming Xuande Lu" (大明宣德炉), indicates that it was made for imperial use and is undoubtedly a genuine piece.
The third item: a blue and white porcelain plate made during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. It is highly sought after and loved for its Xuande period production and exquisite blue and white patterns. It is a masterpiece among masterpieces.
The fourth item: A large blue-and-white porcelain jar with polychrome lotus scroll design from the Ming Dynasty.
This is one of the cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty in China, and it is highly prized for its exquisite lotus scroll decoration.
Each of these four cultural relics is more precious than the last, and he carefully packaged them and placed them in his own miniature space.
Finally, I put the gold, silver, jewelry, and a box of gold bars into the space. I couldn't donate these things to a museum, and leaving them would only benefit others. I'll take them back first and deal with them later.
Liu Yihang transported all the remaining cultural relics piece by piece to the storage room using miniature spaces.
Now we're just waiting for a reply from Yizhai.
Before arriving, Liu Yihang had made an overseas call to Xiang Tianhong, subtly indicating that he had just acquired a batch of Chinese cultural relics and intended to donate them to the Tianzhou Museum, but the current problem was transportation.
If he transports these items in his private name, they will definitely be inspected and investigated. In that case, not only will the cultural relics not be returned, but he will also be detained.
Now, Xiang Yizhai of China, upon learning of this matter, took it very seriously and immediately sought out the museum's former curator.
This wasn't the first time the former curator had dealt with something like this; there had been previous cases of transporting cultural relics from abroad.
He immediately contacted his friends at the embassy abroad and explained the situation.
After all this, Liu Yihang had just returned to his hotel when staff from the Chinese embassy came knocking on his door.
They said the embassy could handle the transportation issues on their behalf, guaranteeing there would be no problems and that he wouldn't be implicated.
Liu Yihang led them to the castle that very night, and under the cover of darkness, they secretly sent the artifacts away.
He said there was a batch of cultural relics. People thought there were only a few or ten pieces, so they drove a pickup truck over to pick them up. But when they looked, they realized there were far more than just a few or ten pieces.
This will require a large truck to haul it.
They immediately called and arranged for a large truck to come over.
In short, the embassy staff barely slept that night, running around dealing with the issues surrounding these cultural relics.
One can imagine the uproar that would occur if so many precious cultural relics were sent back.
On the other side of China, Xiang Yizhai and the old curator were also excitedly waiting.
The head of the embassy in charge of the coordination shook hands with Liu Yihang excitedly: "Comrade Liu, you've worked hard. I salute you." He then bowed deeply.
The elderly people who are on the front lines know the significance of the return of so many cultural relics for the country and its people.
This veteran comrade did not look down on Liu Yihang because of his youth; on the contrary, he felt that the future of China was full of hope because of these young people.
When the people have faith, the motherland has hope and a future.
Liu Yihang quickly bowed in return.
"This is what every Chinese person should do, and I have an unshirkable responsibility."
The curator patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, said goodbye, and left.
The sense of responsibility and commitment of the Chinese people was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Liu Yihang was taken back to the hotel.
After running around for most of the night, carrying those things up and down, I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
He slept until noon, when Miao Cuihua returned from shopping and, seeing that he was still not moving, knocked hard on the door to wake him up.
Tomorrow is the auction date for Imperial Green jade.
Today it's quite noticeable that there are many more people in this hotel, all of them wealthy and influential.
Jerry said they were all VIPs invited by the auction house.
Some people came to watch the auction of Imperial Green jade, while others were buyers; in short, they were all very impressive individuals.
After lunch, Liu Yihang accompanied Miao Cuihua for a stroll, bringing back some London specialties and small gifts for the family.
-
The next morning, Jerry took them to the venue.
The place was packed with people, a sea of faces, much more lively than the auction two days ago.
What's outrageous is that there are armed security personnel standing at the entrance and in every corner inside. With such protection, anyone who dares to make a move will be riddled with bullets.
