Since love is cut off, love is so easy to cut off.

Shen Guanglin rejected the middle-aged man's acquisition invitation because he was not short of money.

Besides, since this is the calligraphy and painting of the four Sumen scholars, it is naturally valuable.

You must know that the four scholars of the Su family are Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei.

It was Su Shi himself who was the first to publicize the four names together. He said: "For example, Huang Tingjian was Lu Zhi, Chao Buzhi was blameless, Qin Guan was too weak, Zhang Lei and Wen Qian were all unknown to the world, but Shi alone prophet."

Now, Chao Buzhi and Chao Wujiu's paintings have been revealed. How much are they worth?

There are very few paintings by Chao Buzhi, and only two have been handed down to the outside world. One of them is "Laozi Riding a Bull", which is collected in the National Palace Museum in Benbei; the other is "Yu Yitu", which is also collected in Benbei Palace Museum.

Apart from this, there seems to be no other paintings circulating.

Especially this kind of poem with paintings is extremely rare, and this painting by Shen Guanglin is considered the third.

Huang Tingjian, who is also the fourth bachelor of the Su family, sold the "Inscription of the Pillars" for a high price of 430 million in 2010. This calligraphy and painting by Chao Buzhi, Shen Guanglin did not sell it for any money.

He is an iron rooster. Now that he has it in his hand, it is impossible to sell it no matter what.

"I'd give you £10,000!"

The middle-aged man offered a relatively high price. He believed that for Chinese people, ten thousand pounds is really not a small number.

"Sir, Chao Buzhi is not a particularly famous painter after all."

"Hmph, this painting tube alone is more than 10,000 pounds." Shen Guanglin chuckled.

Moreover, Shen Guanglin stroked the black shiny cylinder and turned it over to see that the ancient treasure of the emperor was printed on the bottom.

Hey, this is also the work of Mr. Qianlong.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of patina cannot be removed without the precipitation of time. Although Shen Guanglin did not do much research on calligraphy and painting, he did a lot of research on antique furniture.

In particular, he also purchased a batch of antique furniture from Tang Monk's collector, many of which were made of small-leaf red sandalwood.

I can’t say much more about Tang Monk’s collection, as it is easy to be 404.

Seeing that the idea of ​​acquisition could not be realized, the middle-aged man took another approach

"Sir, do you think this will work? I'll pay you five thousand pounds and let us display your painting for a month."

A middle-aged man bows his head repeatedly with a humble and polite look, which is very popular with others.

However, Shen Guanglin naturally didn't believe this, "What if it's lost."

"After one month, the original painting will be returned. If it is lost, we are willing to compensate 100,000 pounds, oh no, 1 million pounds." The middle-aged man vowed to make a guarantee, and said that he could buy commercial insurance to ensure that everything is safe.

This routine has been around for a long time, and Shen Guanglin saw through his plan at a glance.

Needless to say, if this painting is really lent out, the best outcome is that they will compensate you with some pounds, and the worst outcome is that they will not compensate you at all.

"Oh, I'm not short of money." Shen Guanglin rejected such a proposal without thinking, and gave the 100 pounds just now to the waiter. This was a show of dignity.

The middle-aged man wanted to ask more, but was stopped by the tipped waiter.

This is a Marriott hotel and guest privacy is important unless you can spare £200.

The persistence of the Fuso people cannot be underestimated. As expected, he took out 200 pounds.

No, Shen Guanglin didn't pay much attention after returning to his room. After admiring Chao Buzhi's paintings, he went out.

Shen Guanglin took Li Li out to eat, looking for a foreign restaurant.

The taste of English food is amazing. Their cooking can be described in one word - "simple".

There are only two ways to prepare British food: bake it in the oven or cook it in a pot.

They like not to add any condiments when cooking. When eating, they add some salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, etc. according to their personal preference.

Moreover, the selection of ingredients for their dishes is relatively simple. Although this country is an island country with a vast sea area, due to geographical and natural conditions, the fishing grounds are not very good, so the English do not pay attention to seafood, but prefer beef and mutton. Poultry etc.

Shen Guanglin took Li Li to a French restaurant and ate foie gras, giant snails, and caviar.

However, when they came back, the calligraphy and paintings placed in the room were gone, and there were office staff waiting for him.

In fact, the staff in the office are also wondering, can Chinese people afford to live in a Marriott?

And he came with valuable calligraphy and paintings. Could he be a cultural relic dealer?

After all, it was an official agency that called the police, and the other party was Chinese, so the hotel expressed its willingness to cooperate.

In this way, they entered Shen Guanglin's hotel room and took away the calligraphy and paintings.

After Shen Guanglin returned to the room, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Professor Shen, it turns out to be you!"

The staff naturally knew Shen Guanglin, and they were not blind. They were certainly aware of such a big event as Shen Guanglin's visit to London with an exchange group, and they were also doing the mediating work.

Didn't the hotel staff tell you who is staying here? How did you get in?

Shen Guanglin didn't believe it.

"What do you want from me? How did you get in?"

The staff member smiled and apologized to Shen Guanglin.

"Someone said that there is a Chinese man living in this hotel who is carrying valuable calligraphy and paintings. My superiors asked me to come over and see what's going on and whether it's smuggling. I didn't expect you to be staying here."

The staff member's surname was Zhang, and he explained the purpose of his visit.

In fact, they said that they were with Shen Guanglin and wanted to help Shen Guanglin check the room, so they asked the hotel staff to open the door.

He said that he admired Professor Shen very much and did not know in advance that this was Professor Shen's room.

"You have all found my room, don't you know that I live in it? Moreover, where are my calligraphy and paintings?"

Shen Guanglin didn't believe this at all.

"Also, how do you know that I have expensive calligraphy and paintings? How do you know which room I live in? You found me so accurately, and you dare to say that you don't know anything?"

Shen Guanglin was really angry.

Now, he wants to complain to Marriott Hotel again. He casually leaks guest privacy and allows outsiders to come to his door at will. What does this mean? What kind of hotel is this?

With such hotel service, what reason does Shen Guanglin have not to complain about them?

If your employer’s calligraphy and paintings are lost, you will be responsible for compensation!

When Xiao Zhang saw that his apology was ineffective, he quickly stammered and told the whole story honestly.

"About a small day, a Fuso man who was living a good life said it. He found the office and said he wanted to borrow the painting in your hand for an exhibition. They paid 5,000 pounds, and the counselor agreed, and they took it away. After finishing the painting, let me stay and wait for you."

Xiao Zhang also avoided important matters and really kept the receipt of 5,000 pounds and the cash of 1,000 pounds.

"Who agreed? Why did the counselor agree? This is my painting, and you just took it away?"

Shen Guanglin became even more angry.

"Just borrowing it for a month."

Borrow your sister!

A person you don't know can actually help you make decisions. You must be used to it, right?

Also, what's going on with the hotel?

Shen Guanglin stopped talking to Xiao Zhang.
