Chapter 37 An Excellent Deal
Moreover, judging from this, each of these experts holds a high position.
As soon as he reached the table, Old Zeng took a big step and slumped over it.
You wouldn't guess she's over seventy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, oh my! Little Liu, come and see! This is indeed the seal of King Renxuan!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu quickly stepped forward. Her great-grandfather called her Xiao Liu, but she was actually an auntie around fifty years old.
......
Several experts took turns looking around the table for a while.
It was eventually determined that this batch consisted entirely of ancient books from the Ren Dynasty, including correspondence between the Empress Dowager and the King of Xishan!
They did not compare the handwriting of the King of Xishan, but this empress dowager had ruled the country together with her husband.
The tomb of that monarch contained her handwriting in the memorials to the throne.
Mr. Zeng and Aunt Liu were both extremely excited. Their team had been studying the late Ren Dynasty for more than 20 years.
No breakthroughs.
Cen Yu'an gave them countless surprises that day!
If these records are true, then everything makes sense.
Why did the King of Xishan lead his troops to rebel against his own brother?
Why was the Ren Dynasty destroyed in just ten years after the King of Xishan rebelled and was executed?
Why did the Prince of Xishan, who was a prince, have a daily record of his activities?
So that's how it is!
Seeing that the experts were practically jumping for joy, Cen Yu'an politely reminded them:
"Grandpa, please sit here for a while. I've made you some tea."
"Oh! Little girl, come here, I forgot all these things are yours! We really hope to display these books from the late Ren Dynasty at the National Museum. Would you be willing? Just name your conditions, and I, Old Zeng, will do anything to make it happen!"
Old Zeng wanted to learn from his predecessors and just give a banner and a small red envelope as a token of appreciation, which would be enough to represent the country in requisitioning the property.
Unfortunately, despite conducting extensive research beforehand, there was no evidence to prove that it was dug up from the ground.
It's so well preserved; it must have been passed down through generations in the family.
I just don't know why they didn't take it out to exchange for money when the family was struggling before.
Is the intention simply to toughen up Cen Yu'an?
Or perhaps they simply couldn't understand it and thought it was just an ordinary ancient book?
Old Zeng wasn't the type to insist on getting to the bottom of things.
Considering the items from the Ren and Gui dynasties, the state permitted private trade.
Old Zeng panicked and immediately revealed his hand, worried that his sincerity was not enough and that Cen Yu'an would turn around and sell to a private buyer.
Then who can he cry to?
Therefore, everyone looked at Cen Yu'an with great interest.
“Grandpa, please sit down. Although I come from an ordinary background, I have a happy family and we are not short of money. I didn’t intend to exchange these things for anything.”
It's no fun if you're too blunt, so Cen Yu'an praised and criticized her own conditions.
They are all intelligent people, so naturally they would think of focusing their efforts on this slightly derogatory aspect of "ordinary background".
"Okay, I understand! As long as it's not treason, your affairs will be the affairs of the entire Zeng family from now on!"
The Zeng family are descendants of the founding marshals of the People's Republic of China.
The current governor of Kyoto also has very close ties with the Zeng family!
When Cen Yu'an found out that the person in charge of the study of the Ren Dynasty in China was Zeng Lao, she was determined to contact him.
"With copper coins in hand" is the most popular phrase. Go to him to authenticate ancient books from the late Ren Dynasty, and you will definitely attract the attention of Master Zeng or his students.
Cen Yu'an had no idea that Tongqian was also a junior in that circle.
They avoided many detours and made a deal directly with Mr. Zeng.
No wonder the "Coins in Hand" treasure appraisal livestream has such a large audience; they dare to say anything.
They've been doing just fine all this time, and have never been warned by the authorities.
This is probably because he is from the Tong family of Kyoto.
What seemed like a simple promise from Elder Zeng actually provided Cen Yu'an with top-tier resources.
"Thank you, Great-Grandpa. By the way, these books were originally in a box and wrapped in a black cloth. Please take them back to Kyoto for your research!"
Before Zeng Lao arrived, the Ministry of State Security had thoroughly investigated the information of Cen Yu'an's family.
The family is very ordinary.
Cen Yu'an is very capable.
At such a young age, he has already made so much money through overseas investments.
At this moment, Mr. Zeng admired and appreciated her even more for not taking the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.
He originally thought that under such circumstances, most people would seize the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant amount.
Unexpectedly, Cen Yu'an did not make any unreasonable demands.
He then looked at the camphor wood box that Cen Yu'an had pushed in front of them in a small cart, and Old Zeng thought that Cen Yu'an was indeed a very straightforward girl!
The camphor wood is a thousand years old and will not rot or decay.
It's still the carving technique from the Ren Dynasty!
It's in excellent condition; private collectors would absolutely scramble for it if they knew.
Unfortunately, it's now part of their national museum!
Cen Yu'an delivered it directly to them!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
With a wave of his hand, Old Zeng not only made the promise he had just given, but also told everyone present:
"We all owe Ms. Cen Yu'an a debt of gratitude, and we must lend a helping hand whenever she needs it in the future!"
"Mr. Zeng is right. Thank you so much, young friend Cen, for sharing!"
"Otherwise, we'll just have to go underground and ask the last ruler of the Ren Dynasty how the country was destroyed..."
During the experts' lighthearted conversation, Aunt Liu even took it upon herself to give one of her family's antique shops to Cen Yu'an.
She said that she accidentally opened hundreds of antique shops all over the country back then.
There wasn't much to give as a gift, so Cen Yu'an was told to just pick one.
In the end, Cen Yu'an felt like she had made an incredible profit by exchanging so many things for just a small box of books and letters that she herself couldn't even understand!
Moreover, with the Liu family's antique shop, Cen Yu'an's jewelry would be easier to sell. With a powerful backer, she wouldn't be provoked by anyone.
It was truly an excellent deal.
"Xiaoyu, you want that one in Haicheng, right? Auntie will have the transfer arranged as soon as I get back. If you still have anything from the late Ren Dynasty, be sure to remember Auntie!"
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Liu."
These people dedicated their entire lives to archaeology during the Ren Dynasty!
With the backing of top Kyoto families, money is just a number to them.
They were more eager to unravel the unsolved mysteries of the late Ren Dynasty, and now they were relying on the things Cen Yu'an had given them.
For them, uncovering the complete truth of history is only a matter of time.
If I call on my graduate students and doctoral students, we should be able to finish it in a month, right?
It must be completed!
However, after it is completed, the history textbook will probably be revised this September, and students may have to take more tests on the knowledge points that need to be added.
After all, dynastic changes are an easy point to test!
But that's for students; they don't have to take exams.
Finally, they carefully protected their belongings and prepared to return to Beijing. Grandpa Gu, who had been discussing things with his great-grandfather, had already arranged for a helicopter to be on standby at the Ningcheng Huafu helipad.
These old folks can fly economy class on a commercial plane or take a slow, green train.
However, these ancient books and cultural relics cannot afford the slightest mistake!
Come and go in a hurry!
