Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan then bought the courtyard house for five hundred yuan, and then asked craftsmen to repaint and paper it. As for furniture, bedding, daily necessities, etc., they are also all purchased with good choices.

In addition to taking a sum of money from the American Embassy more than half a year ago, he also took a lot of antiques and treasures from the Forbidden City in the past six months. Anyway, Xiang Nan knew that even if he didn't take it, sooner or later the prodigal Xuantong would take it out and sell it.

And Xiang Nan is a man who knows the goods. All the treasures he got from the Forbidden City are rare treasures.

For example, the most precious of the Sanxi Halls built by Qianlong are Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Clear Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie", Wang Xun's "Bo Yuan Tie", Li Gonglin's "Five Horses Picture", and Han Huang's "Five Horses". "Picture of Cows", Yan Liben's "Scroll of Portraits of Emperors of the Past", etc., each of which is a priceless national treasure-level cultural relic.

And this is only the calligraphy and painting part. As for gold, silver, jade, jewelry, porcelain, rare ancient books, etc., there are countless.

As for whether Xuantong would discover that these collections were stolen, Xiang Nan didn't care.

Because the management of the small court of Xunqing was in chaos at that time, Xiang Nan was not the only one who stole things, but the courtiers, guards, eunuchs, and maids also stole things.

In 1921, a fire broke out in a warehouse near the Jianfu Palace in the Forbidden City. The reason was that Xuantong wanted to count the calligraphy, painting and antiques in the warehouse on a whim. In order to cover up the fact of stealing cultural relics, the eunuch did not hesitate to set fire to the evidence of the crime.

Therefore, no one knows how many treasures were burned, and there is no way to check them. Therefore, even if Xuantong realized that the cultural relics had been stolen, there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was naturally not polite. Over the past six months, he had moved like an ant, and he had no idea how many treasures he had moved out, but he had carefully buried them all.

…

Half a month later, Xiang Nan and Xiaodouzi moved to their new home.

"Xiaodouzi, this will be our home from now on." He said with a smile, "Are you happy?"

"Happy." Xiaodouzi looked at his new home and nodded happily.

This was the first time he felt at home. When he was a child, he grew up in a brothel and had to hide here and there. Later, he didn't feel at home either in Xifucheng or in the Forbidden City. Only now, standing in this small courtyard, he finally felt a sense of belonging.

"Okay, from now on you will live in the west room and I will live in the east room." Xiang Nan smiled again, "Tonight we will rinse the pot and warm the house."

"Senior brother, I still want to sleep with you." Xiaodouzi said quickly after hearing this.

Over the past six months, he has become accustomed to sleeping with Xiang Nan, and he feels at ease sleeping with Xiang Nan.

"No." Xiang Nan immediately objected. He didn't want Xiaodouzi to be too attached to him. If feelings developed like in the movie, it would be troublesome. "How can a martial arts practitioner be timid? He has to sleep by himself to be a man. "

Seeing what he said, Xiaodouzi had no choice but to give it up.

He has stopped studying drama a long time ago, and he has not become obsessed with it, thinking that he is a "female charmer". The reason why I stick to Xiang Nan is just out of habit, and I have no other thoughts, so after being rejected by Xiang Nan, I gave it up.

That night, Xiang Nan bought mutton, cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, etc., and had a good meal of mutton boiling with Xiaodouzi.

His knife skills are exquisite. The mutton slices are thinner than paper and can be cooked in a copper pot. Then dip it into the dipping sauce mixed with sesame paste, fermented bean curd, chive flower chili oil, and put it into your mouth. It is really tender and delicious, incomparable.

…

They both had a good meal, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Another day, Xiang Nan left Xiaodouzi at home to study, while he himself came to Liulichang.

Liulichang originated in the Qing Dynasty. During the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, the Manchus occupied the capital, implemented the separation of Manchu and Han people, and expelled the Han people from the inner city. Liulichang is located in the west of the outer city, and a group of Han officials lived nearby at that time.

Later, guild halls in many provinces and cities were also built around official residences. As the saying goes, those who are near the water and the towers first get the moon. Provincial and municipal guild halls receive officials and candidates who come to Beijing every year to take exams, so a large number of scholars gather here.

Liulichang was originally a book market. Many booksellers opened shops and stalls here to sell books, attracting many scholars. Then the Four Treasures of the Study, antiques, calligraphy and paintings also appeared, and eventually it became a lively place dominated by books and antiques.

Xiang Nan visited Liulichang, one to pick out leaks and the other to ship goods.

He has Cheng Jianjun's skills in forging fake porcelain, and the degree of imitation is so high that even experts like Po Pohouhou have noticed, and he can even go to the auction house to bid on it, which shows that he has reached the point where the fakes look like the real ones.

And although he took out a lot of treasures from the Forbidden City, he was reluctant to sell the real ones. After all, the Forbidden City collects all high-quality products, so how distressing it would be to sell one less piece.

Xiang Nan would feel ashamed if he left the country and was taken away by foreign devils, so he planned to sell fakes.

But selling fakes is not easy.

He has a face, no one knows him, so they must be careful. No matter how real his fakes are, people won't dare to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Xiang Nan is an old man, not a raw man, so he naturally knows how to get bulk cargo.

So he first wandered around Liulichang, at least getting acquainted first, and waiting for people to know who he was, and then he slowly started selling goods.

From a modern perspective, just like an idol star, you have to establish your personality first, and then you can cut the leeks.

…

Xiang Nan wandered around Liulichang, looking twice at something that looked good and dismissing something that looked bad.

With his eyesight, he will never be deceived by anyone.

First, he inherited Ji Xiaolan's wealth of talents and knowledge, and Ji Xiaolan's ability to identify antiques was already unrivaled in the world, putting even Heshen and Qianlong to shame;

Secondly, he inherited all the skills of Partridge Whistle. Partridge Shao is a mountain-moving Taoist, and his job is to dig graves with buckets. He has discovered countless ancient tombs, and the authenticity can be easily distinguished at a glance.

Thirdly, Xiang Nan was still in the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". He had learned Zhang Jiuyi's secret biography "Golden Point Secret" from Mr. Jindian. He could distinguish all things in the world, including the authenticity of antiques.

Fourthly, Xiang Nan really lived in ancient times. He had personally experienced the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties for hundreds of years. Many of those cultural relics were used by him.

Just like Xuantong's appraisal of cultural relics, you don't need to learn any theory or skills at all. Just because you have seen, used and played with it a lot, you feel it is different from your own, so you know it is fake.

Therefore, in summary, with Xiang Nan's eyesight, no one in Liulichang can surpass him, and naturally it is impossible to deceive him.

"Master, what do you want to see?" Seeing Xiang Nan walk in, the waiter hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any good jade?" Xiang Nan ignored the waiter and asked the shopkeeper.

"Yes, please take a seat." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper came forward and greeted with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded and sat down, and then the waiter served tea first.

"What kind of jade does this gentleman want, an ornament, a jewelry, or a gadget?" the shopkeeper asked.
