Chapter 18

Zhou Shuming's brows furrowed tightly, the so-called gold of the troubled world, the antiques of the prosperous world

In 1927, it was only 16 years since the revolution of 1911

The scholars who used to sell their goods to the emperor's family had not died

Today, a gun and a bag of rice are more realistic than a book

In the past, the collection of rare books, paintings and books which were worth thousands of dollars has been declining, and there are many dilapidated library buildings

Some of their descendants even sold it to waste paper

The twelve books in front of him cost only 4,000 yuan, and Zhou Shuming extorted them from the old zhou family's library

Forty years ago, even his old teacher would have given him a thousand stone of rice to exchange for them

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuming took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows to huang xuan

"If Huang Gongzi is not satisfied, we can look for more, but please leave the grain in the warehouse for a few more days

"" Just one day

" Huang Xuan proudly extended a finger and said," my time is limited

I can't wait for many days

He said, lighting the last box

" You can also bring back these two books of the spring and autumn period of the song dynasty, so that, in addition to the book written by the emperor lao shizi, there are altogether six books

You can go to the storeroom and bring up 900 stone grains, or 1500 silver yuan each

Is that okay

" The price was calculated at 12 yuan per stone, and in the market, the price of each stone of brown rice had already gone up to 18 yuan

Naturally, Zhou Shuming was willing to ask for food

He hummed and closed his mouth again

" In that case, the old lady will take the grain back first

Huang Gongzi, please wait for the good news

" In a few words, he spoke of his old husband again

Huang Xuan sneered, gathered the books in several boxes and walked out the door first

There was an idiot young man from the capital city who bought a rare book at ten times the market price

The news spread from Gan pu at the speed of plane travel

In an instant, it spread all over jiaxing prefecture

Haiyan, Pinghu and Haining counties could be called chinese libraries

In this turbulent era, Such news was deliberately magnified by countless people

" You know what

I heard that the price of books is going up, and those with ancient books are going to prosper

"" It is said that the national government is going to build a library, just like the kind of westerners who spend the money on books

They can buy hundreds of thousands of guns

"" It seems that foreigners want to buy antiques from china

My fellow countrymen said they saw several boats

" However, he could only stay for three days

From the afternoon onwards, people came to see Huang Xuan one after another

Jiang Yisheng was the only one around him, and he couldn't stop the crowd

He had to ask shopkeeper zhu for help

On the other hand, although there were a lot of people coming, most of them wanted to try their luck

There were even some wild ways to make a quick buck

The The zhu family was worried that something might happen and wanted to invite huang xuan into the city, but he refused

After meeting the people for six or seven hours, they finally sent out all the food and most of the money

In the end, it was the owners of several shops who were rich and did not know where they found so many rare books

Huang Xuan himself had long been eyesore and could only listen to Lorraine's evaluation mechanically

He had to choose five more, with only a hundred dollars left in his hands

The rustling of cleaning came from the open warehouse

Huang Xuan glanced at Jiang Yisheng again

The silent middle-aged man was still wearing a tattered blue shirt with carefully patched cuffs

With the book in hand, Huang Xuan was ready to go home

When he was about to leave, he suddenly regretted not being able to take a good look at this magical era, but he did not know if there was a chance in the future

Lorraine's teleportation function was too backward, so it was impossible to come back deliberately

" Uncle

" Huang xuan packed up all the last silver and carefully wrapped the book in yellow satin

Then he said to jiang yisheng," sorry for troubling you these two days

" Jiang Yisheng rubbed his hands in confusion and whispered," Huang Gongzi, you're welcome

"" I told you not to call me Huang Gongzi

" These two days, all the prominent businessmen in the town had come to see Huang Xuan, and Jiang Yisheng also had some unexpected reverence for him

He started calling him Huang Gongzi, and Huang Xuan didn't say a word at first

Now that he was leaving, he shook his head and said: Uncle jiang, I'm leaving tonight

There's still some silver left here, even if it's for these two days

Jiang Yisheng's excited hands don't know where to put them, Luigi Nono said

" How good is this

How good is this

"" That's it

Thank old master jiang for me

" Huang xuan walked out of the room as he spoke

When Jiang Yisheng wanted to thank him and chase him out, he saw a white light flash past

He returned directly to the pavilion in the backyard, completely naked, only the yellow silk cloth in his hands could wrap himself

He looked around with nostalgia and said unhappily," Lorraine, you don't have to save so much

You don't even have to send me clothes

"" In order to keep your time away from the p112 within 24 hours, you have already consumed a lot of energy

You have to control the consumption to ensure the normal operation of the base

" Lorraine's usual bland words actually made Huang Xuan feel kind

If he could put on another cover, he would definitely thank Lorraine

But the truth was the truth

Huang xuan looked at the sky outside and it should be dawn

He looked at the 11 books in his hand and finally made a decision

In order to protect the human cultural heritage, he decided to wrap the book in satin and go out naked

Actually, it wasn't too far from the pavilion to the bedroom

Huang Xuan comforted herself

" Remember to replenish your energy

" Lorraine left behind a cold sentence and disappeared into the void

Only Huang Xuan himself, alone, turned on his computer and cell phone, desperately trying to determine his era so as not to be sent into an unknown plane by some unscrupulous machine

It is said that there is such a thing in history

Well, according to Lorraine, what an honest child

It was quiet in the courtyard

Only the kitchen of the building was still lit

It was supposed to be the chef making breakfast

Before it was time for his parents to go to work, Huang Xuan quietly closed the door and took out a box that had been attached to the book and put in the tens of millions of ancient books in his hand

Each book was stuffed with yellow silk and satin

Finally, the top volume of" the letter of the northern song dynasty's ultimatum" was taken out, wrapped with a pillow towel and placed in a separate box

After doing all this, it wasn't even dawn yet

Huang Xuan yawned, climbed two steps, and slept comfortably on the bed

For the past two days, he had been sleeping in the storeroom door day after day, not to mention the stone bed, even the smell of the bed could wake him up
