"What on earth are you talking about?"
After hearing his granddaughter's words, Grandpa Lu asked first:
"Why have you become a bad person now? You're so flamboyant, and you have to beat around the bush when you say something? I'm old, and my brain isn't very sharp. Don't regret it if you cause me a brain congestion!"
"Pfft, ptff, ptff, grandpa, please stop talking nonsense. I'm not a bad boy. I just want my senior brother to guess."
Shen Yiyi blinked her innocent eyes, with a smirk of triumph on her lips:
"Brother, for my grandpa's health, guess what?"
This is what Shi Nannan taught her. When it comes to taking the initiative, she is no match for Li Zi, so she has to learn to show her biggest advantage over Li Zi - her IQ.
"Can you guess it?"
"Just guessing? Can you give me some hints?" Zhang Yang replied.
A lot of things were stolen from the British Museum, and without any clues, he really couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Hint..." Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes and looked at Li Zi who looked jealous. She felt very proud and said to Zhang Yang with a smile, "That is something that both of us are very familiar with, and it is something that Sister Li Zi is not familiar with at all."
Hearing this, before Zhang Yang could reply, Li Zi burst out laughing first:
"Junior Sister Yiyi, are you sure you want to challenge me? When it comes to my understanding of Zhang Yang, I'm no weaker than you!"
"Zhang Yang, don't you think so?"
After saying that, she moved to the side and leaned close to Zhang Yang.
hiss~
Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the sofa under his butt seemed a little too hard, making it uncomfortable to sit on.
Oh no, I’m going to be pulled by two women again. I hope I won’t be pulled in half this time.
Shen Yiyi, who was standing by, was naturally irritated by Li Zi's boasting, and pointed at her angrily and said:
"you--"
He didn't say anything else and sat down next to Zhang Yang angrily.
The two girls just leaned against Zhang Yang, both folded their arms and didn't say anything, as if whoever spoke first would be the puppy.
Zhang Yang had no choice but to wink at Grandpa Lu, signaling this elder to speak up and help him out, but the old man was quietly holding back his laughter and had no intention of speaking at all.
Professor Lu was actually a little depressed, and he sighed:
My granddaughter, do you understand? Li Zi has already taken the lead, why are you still fighting?
What kind of magic does this kid Zhang Yang have?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glare at Zhang Yang.
This left the young man who asked him for help next to him feeling puzzled.
……
Realizing that the old man could not be relied upon, Zhang Yang had no choice but to stretch out his left and right arms at the same time and hug both girls in his arms.
He still knows how to coax people.
Each of them spoke in turns, fairly and impartially, and soon smiles appeared on both of their faces.
Then, the two girls went shopping together, as friendly as if nothing had happened.
"Ah? You can do this?" Grandpa Lu was stunned: "Zhang Yang, when did you become so good at talking?"
"I learned it when I was shopping with them two." Zhang Yang shrugged helplessly.
Women are strange creatures, and most of the time when they throw tantrums, their purpose is not to get a clear answer but to get an attitude.
The two girls didn't need Zhang Yang to make a choice. They didn't want to make things difficult for him, so all they needed was for him to be fair.
It’s just like trying on clothes on the street. If they are beautiful, then all of them should be beautiful. If they don’t fit, then none of them should fit. There should be absolutely no discrimination.
As for whether it is really beautiful or whether it really fits the body, they have their own judgment and there is no need to express their opinions.
"So that's how it is. One never stops learning, and I have learned something new." After listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, Grandpa Lu nodded and said with sudden enlightenment.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yang heard this and thought of the glare he had just received. He smiled and asked with a suspicious look in his eyes, "Grandpa, why are you learning this?"
"Could it be that you, Grandma Xue...?"
"Hey, stop it! Is it okay if I don't learn it?"
"So you still want to learn?"
"No, no, no, Zhang Yang, please don't set me up. I'm not nice enough this time. Next time you're stuck in a dilemma, I'll definitely help you out. Let's not worry about whether to learn or not, okay?"
"next time?"
"Well, believe me, there will definitely be a next time. It's not that easy to have two wives. I thought about it when I was young."
"By the way, the riddle you and Yiyi were playing just now..."
Grandpa Lu suddenly changed the subject and asked about the advice Shen Yiyi had given before leaving.
Shen Yiyi was in a hurry to go shopping, so she spoke too fast and contained too much information, so the old man didn't understand at all.
He asked, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"It's actually quite simple." Zhang Yang replied.
He should have guessed it long ago, because Shen Yiyi was a simple person and her hints were very obvious.
The thing that both of them were familiar with, but Li Zi was not familiar with, was of course bronze ware.
The two of them were originally connected by bronze ware.
The famous bronze artifacts in the British Museum can actually be counted on one’s fingers.
Xiao Shen thinks that the target of imitation should be changed from the "ordinary" Ru porcelain to the "Bronze Double Ram Zun", which is the only one in the world.
There are two reasons:
First, the sect they belong to, Tukeng Duan, specializes in making bronze vessels look old.
Although Zhang Yang was very ambitious, not only did he make better use of the mess left by his master, he even developed the business of his sect to the point of living off his master and stirring up trouble in the international cultural relics market.
However, their sect still lacks a major achievement.
A result that can make people's pupils tremble.
A personal art gallery? Although it had an official sign, in the eyes of both Zhang Yang and Shen Yiyi, the business aspect of that shop far outweighed the technology.
The dirt pit section deserves better work.
Among the bronze ware in the British Museum's collection, the Bronze Double-Ram Zun is the most famous and renowned. More than a decade ago, experts estimated its value at 5 million. Now that it is worthless, it is not surprising that its price has risen to 10 billion.
Although they are both imitations, one is a Ru porcelain worth 10 million yuan, and the other is a Shuangyangzun worth nearly billion yuan. Just by comparing the numbers, you will know which one to choose.
But value is only one of the reasons why Shen Yiyi chose the Shuangyangzun.
The second reason, and the most important reason, is that the Shuangyangzun is not a unique piece.
There is also a double-ram statue in the Nezu Museum in Xiaori, which is similar in size and shape to the one in the British Museum.
According to the results of research by Chinese archaeological experts, these two double-ram vases, like the four-ram square vases, were unearthed from the Tanheli site in the late Shang Dynasty and came from the mysterious "Dahefang Kingdom".
Once the source of the item is confirmed, we will have room for maneuver when we get the treasure from the British Museum! (End of this chapter)
