Because of the appearance of greed, Grande, who had become a little desperate, didn't realize that because of a momentary gaffe, Jian Er actually connected all kinds of things that she felt wrong before, and exposed her old bottom.

Stretched out his hand, and his delicate fingertips gently followed the door of Greed's little brain, and Jian Er was so smooth that Greed couldn't care about fighting with Grande, and his round eyes narrowed, revealing a look of great enjoyment, just like eating an elixir. The master, the master is giving him a smooth hair, so rare, so comfortable...... What is that, how can it be more important than the master to give it hair!

Seeing that Greed was quiet, Jian Er breathed a sigh of relief, okay, at least one was appeased, as for the other...... It's easy to do.

"I want to buy things from country Z, as long as I like it, 'money' is definitely not a problem. Jian Er accented on the most crucial word "money".

Because Jian Er knows very well that for a person who is emotionally out of control, it is completely useless to reason with facts and anything, and it is only the right way to divert that person's attention with what he cares about more. And what does it need to be said that this gentleman, who behaves in the same name as the miser in Balzac's novel, and who is also very similar in Mo, cares most about it?

Sure enough, after hearing the word that Jian Er emphasized, Grande's ears moved, and then his eyes lit up, and the arm that was originally waving hard stopped suddenly, money?!As long as you like money, it's definitely not a problem! Oh, my great Satanic God, this sentence sounds so wonderful!

Although Jane looked dressed very plainly, Grande never doubted Jane's ability to pay. Don't you see who this man is? You know, the generous gentleman who spends all his money here, and it is an astronomical amount, and this thing gathers like and people in groups, and can make such a generous gentleman show great respect, and that lady who can make such a generous gentleman show great respect, will she be a pauper?

So, in the next second, this Mr. Grandet once again staged a big change of face. The eyebrows were bent, the small eyes narrowed, the corners of the mouth were torn to the sides, and an old face smiled into a chrysanthemum: "Of course, my most honored guest, is it the antiques of country Z? No problem at all, whether it is calligraphy and painting, porcelain or gold and stone antiques, I can say that I have everything here, by the way, it is the heads of the twelve animals, I also have them here." Believe me, my noble lady, I will definitely have a treasure here that will satisfy you, and you will definitely feel that the trip is worthwhile. "Actually, Grande's words mean - our stuff must be so good that you can't help but pull out the last steel in your pocket.

Heads of twelve animals, what the hell, it sounds like it's terrifying.

Wait, twelve, twelve, how does that number sound...... Jian Er's pupils shrank suddenly, almost jumping up all of a sudden, she finally realized why the combination of these words made people feel so familiar, the heads of twelve animals, this guy should be talking about the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace, right? Jian Er felt as if she had heard her own "thump" heartbeat.

The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace, also known as the "animal head of the Old Summer Palace" and "the bronze statue of the animal head of the Old Summer Palace", is a part of the fountain in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, the original imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty.

This group of bronze statues was designed by the Italian Qing Dynasty court painter, Lang Shining, the European missionary Lang Shining (Giuseppe Castiglione) presided over the design, the F Chinese Jiang Youren (R. Michel.Benoist) design supervision, and the Qing court craftsmen made.

The fountain is called "Hydraulic Clock" and "Zodiac Time Telling Fountain", the twelve animal heads of the Zodiac image are arranged on both sides of the fountain in the figure of eight, the south side is the child rat, the tiger, the dragon, the afternoon horse, the monkey, the dog, the north side is the ugly cow, the rabbit, the snake, the sheep, the rooster, the pig. The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animals will take turns to spray water every day, and each hour, the corresponding animal will spray water from its mouth for two hours. At 12 o'clock at noon, the bronze statue of the head of the 12 zodiac animals sprayed water at the same time, and the scene was spectacular. It is also the largest European-style garden landscape in the Old Summer Palace.

However, since 1860, after the allied forces of E and F burned and looted the Old Summer Palace, the bronze beast heads of the 12 zodiac animals have been lost overseas for more than 140 years.

In the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace, there are currently five pieces that have returned: the head of the ox, the head of the monkey, the head of the tiger, the head of the pig, and the head of the horse. With the exception of the pig's head, the return of the other four bronze statues is related to the auction.

In 2000, the three bronze heads of the ox, tiger and monkey were auctioned on Hong Kong Island by Poly Group for 7 million Hong Kong dollars, 14 million Hong Kong dollars and 7.4 million Hong Kong dollars respectively, and are now stored in the Beijing Poly Art Museum under Poly for public viewing.

The bronze statue of the horse's head is by Dr. Stanley Ho, a national treasure engineering consultant, who may not know much about this, but when it comes to Dr. Stanley Ho's other name, the Macau gambling king, everyone may have some impressions. And the head of the horse is He Gambling King who bought the bronze statue of the head of the horse for 69.1 million Hong Kong dollars before the auction and donated it to the country.

The only one that did not involve the auction company and returned in a public welfare way was the bronze statue of the pig's head, but it was also related to the gambling king. At the beginning of 2003, China's special fund for rescuing lost overseas cultural relics found the whereabouts of the bronze statue of the pig's head in country M. After hard work, the collectors of country M agreed to transfer the bronze statue of the pig's head to the special fund. In September 2003, He Gambling King donated more than 600 yuan to the special fund to buy back the bronze statue of the pig's head. It was then donated to Poly Group and stored at the Poly Art Museum in Beijing for public viewing.

So far, five of the twelve bronze statues of the zodiac beast heads in the Old Summer Palace have returned.

The two bronze heads of rat and rabbit are collected by private collectors in country F. And in February 2009, it was auctioned at Christie's auction house in country F, with an estimate of 8 million to 10 million euros, and was later purchased by the Pinault family of the luxury goods group in country F, and in April 2013, Mr. Pinault, chairman of the luxury goods group in country F, said that he was willing to donate the two bronze heads of pikas back to the government of country Z.

The other five bronze statues of dragon heads, snake heads, sheep heads, chicken heads, and dog heads have been missing.

"How many?" Jian Er held her breath and asked urgently, God, could it be that she really wants to see this country's important weapon today?!

"What?" said Grandet, who was a little overwhelmed by Jian'er's brainless question.

"I mean the bronze head, how many bronze heads do you have, what kind of copper heads. Jian Er asked anxiously.

"Ah, noble lady, do you mean the head of that animal?" Grandet's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he just casually talked about it, just to hit this person's cuteness, it's good to be interested, knowing that this should be the kind of owner who is not bad for money, as long as they like it, then money should definitely not be a problem, he is afraid that this one is not interested. Now that I saw that Jian Er hadn't seen it, she had already become interested in what he had here, and Grande almost jumped up with joy. This, this is just wonderful.

"Yes, that's right, it's the head of the animal you were talking about. Jane was no longer interested in correcting the uncultured way of saying this Mr. Grandet, and she was now only concerned with the condition of the treasure she had asked.

"Yes, it's the animal's head. I think I had two more here, yes, two. Grandet replied.

"Take me to see it!" Jian Er ordered directly.

"Of course, you're here, please. Grandet led Jane forward.

"Which zodiac sign is your bronze head here," After a pause, Jian Er thought of this Mr. Grandet's previous uneducated expression, for fear that he would not understand what he was talking about, so he quickly changed his way of expression, "I mean the head of that animal, what kind of animal." ”

"This, that ......" was a simple question, which made Grandet's face dry, and he touched his nose but did not speak.

"What's this?" Jian Er stopped and looked at Grande suspiciously, "Could it be that you don't know which bronze path you have collected?"

When Jian Er said this, Grandet was even more embarrassed, saying that he really didn't know. But can you say that now? So he coughed, and his face twisted a little: "Well, noble lady, don't you think it is more rewarding for you to solve this mystery by yourself?"

"Then let's hurry up and take a look. Not noticing the inappropriate expression on Grandet's face when he said this, Jane nodded approvingly, and said so. So Jian Er sped up her steps, and she already felt like she was trotting.

"Okay, noble lady, don't worry, things will definitely not run away there......" Although Jian'er's legs are not too long, she can't stand her young, and her legs and feet are neat, as soon as this action is accelerated, Grande can be a little overwhelmed, after all, this age is not too young, and it can't be compared with Jian'er, "You slow down, slow down." ”

"I'm sorry!" noticing Grande's performance, Jane stopped a little embarrassed, "Well, I'm just a little anxious. ”

"Song, my friend, don't worry, that thing won't run away with long legs. This old miser has no other skills, but his memory is still good, as long as he says he has, then he will not remember badly, as long as you like it, then it will definitely belong to you. Count Dracula said.

"That's right, that's right. Finally stopped, Grandet stroked his chest and gasped, "Don't worry, I will only entertain your group of guests, and no one will rob you." ”

"I'm sorry. Jian'er apologized again, although there was still some indelible anxiety on her face, but her pace slowed down, although the speed was a few points faster than before walking, but at least Grande walked without a problem.

********************************************************************************************************************

Although the speed of the group is not slow, there are too many things piled up in this warehouse, and the further back you go, the more fragile things there are. And this also made Jian'er involuntarily slow down.

"I say, Mr. Grande, aren't you going to take some precautions?" said Jane, pointing to some of the antiques on the ground that were obviously fragile. Although those things don't belong to our Z country, and Jian Er doesn't know much about these foreign goods, just looking at its exquisiteness, even if you think about it with your toes, you know that it definitely belongs to the treasure level, and it is so casually talked by this person, Jian Er feels distressed when she looks at it.

"Precautions? Grandet glanced at Jane a little inexplicably, "You didn't see it, those books still have writings." Oh, my great Satan-King, I don't know why these things are so fragile and so demanding on temperature and humidity, and God, I have to invest more money in maintaining them in order to keep them intact (so that he can sell them for a high price). ”

"I'm not talking about those books and paintings, but over there, can you just throw them on the shelf just like that?" Jian Er couldn't help but stop and asked.

"It's good to put them right there, they're not that fragile, they're just a little dusty, as long as you touch them, it won't affect their value at all. Grandet waved his hand indifferently, "You see, I'm the only one here, how can I be a little old man who can get everything neat and clean?"

"Can't you ask someone else to take care of them for you?" Jian Er felt the green tendons on her forehead jump and jump.

"That doesn't cost money?" Grandet blurted out (Jane felt that she really wanted to pick up a hammer and give this guy a moment), sensing that Jane's face was wrong, Grandet hurriedly changed his words, " I mean, as long as these things are left like this, they are still fine in the environment here, of course, at best, they will be covered with some dust, and they will not look so shiny, but it will definitely not hurt them very much, but if you let someone else come in and help clean up, it will not be, and those sloppy guys may even break them, and it will be too worthwhile, isn't it?"

"Really?" Jane looked at this one with a suspicious look, how could she think that the first thing this person said was what he really thought.

"Of course!" Grandet stiffened his chest and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, but looking at Jian Er's skeptical look, he couldn't help but feel a void in his heart.

"Ah, here, over here. Grandet suddenly pointed forward, and at the same time could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it's okay, this time this time this time this person should divert his attention and stop worrying about this problem. (To be continued.) )
