Since the books in the study were all classified and placed, Yan Jinxuan found the one he was looking for in a while.

Su Zixin hurriedly took it and took a look.

It is the carvings of the Northern Dynasties that are introduced in the book.

The book says that the sculptors of the Northern Dynasty liked to carve on grottoes, caves and Buddha statues, and introduced several famous carving spots in detail, so Su Zixin decided to go to these places to find the carvings of that era.

"What is the approximate purchase price of a carving?" Yan Jinxuan asked Su Zixin.

"It's not easy to say, some are cheap, some are very expensive, on average, a piece is about 1,000 taels of silver." Su Zixin replied.

"Then I'll lend you five thousand taels of silver." Yan Jinxuan said.

Anyway, a few days ago, the emperor rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver, and he thought that instead of saving, it would be better to reach out and help Su Zixin when he was in urgent need of money.

In this way, Su Zixin will not have to delay completing the book because he can't get the money.

Oh my God, five thousand taels of silver, that's Su Zixin's money for nearly three years, Yan Jinxuan actually took the initiative to lend it to him, which really made Su Zixin overjoyed.

Su Zixin hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, I will find the carvings as soon as possible, and then concentrate on writing the book, and strive to finish it next year." ”

"You're welcome, it's amazing that people can stick to their dreams, and I hope you can realize your dreams as soon as possible." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.

Su Zixin looked at Yan Jinxuan, and then at Su Shanyun, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Alas, you are truly my lucky stars." Su Zixin said.

And they know him better than his wife and children, how can this not make him grateful to Diling?

"You're welcome. Anyway, I just have a little spare money on hand right now. Yan Jinxuan said.

"Okay, then I'll ......" Su Zixin smiled.

Yan Jinxuan went to the inner room to take out the money.

"Write me an IOU, and pay it off within ten years." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay you back this money in ten years, no matter what." Su Zixin solemnly promised.

Yan Jinxuan asked people to bring paper and pencils.

Su Shanyun instructed the kitchen to cook the vinegared cabbage and fried beef in sauce that Su Zixin likes to eat.

Su Zixin rarely walks around with his relatives because he is immersed in writing books and has no money to spare, but now he is very moved to get such good treatment here, and his eyes are red three times in the time of a meal.

After the meal, the three continued to chat in the living room.

Because he was a little familiar, Su Zixin, who had never liked to talk much, opened his heart to them.

"I've wanted to give up countless times over the years, especially when I don't have the money. I really want to sell a few of them. But I always can't help but put it down when I pick it up. Su Zixin said.

Yan Jinxuan and Su Shanyun were very understanding, looking at him and smiling and nodding.

"When I heard the news of my wife's illness this spring, I thought about selling a few of my carvings, but in the end I gave up because I was reluctant. This can barely support the cost of living. ”

"It's not easy." Su Shanyun sighed.

"Now that you have borrowed this money, I think I will soon be able to fulfill my wish to publish a book." Su Zixin said with a relieved face.

"What about after the book is published? How are you going to place those carvings? Yan Jinxuan asked him.

Obviously. Su Zixin was not at ease to hand them over to his wife and son.

"I've been thinking about this a lot over the years. Selling them would undoubtedly make a lot of money, but that would be contrary to my original intentions. Su Zixin replied.

He had worked hard to buy them from all over the world so that he could protect them.

But people will always get old. When you get old, you will always die, so what should you do then?

If you leave them to your wife and children, you will inevitably be sold.

He didn't want to see such a result, so that's why he kept it a secret from his wife and children all these years.

But it's time to think about where they will end.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Su Zixin asked Yan Jinxuan.

"If you don't want to leave them to your children and grandchildren, and you don't want to sell them as commodities, you have to find a place that reflects their value and protects them well." Yan Jinxuan said.

Then he realized that there seemed to be no such place in the Ming Kingdom, so he closed his eyes and pondered.

Although he himself occasionally collects one or two antiques, and he also knows how to preserve them carefully, he is not a collector after all, so he has no intention of buying them from Su Zixin's hands.

After thinking for a while, Yan Jinxuan smiled and said, "If Daming Kingdom is willing to set up a sculpture art museum, this problem can be solved." ”

Sculpture art gallery? Su Zixin and Su Shanyun couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"That's a great idea!" Su Zixin said with joy on his face.

Yan Jinxuan is now the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, and he happens to be in charge of construction projects, so if he proposes it, this matter may really be successful.

"I'll ask the emperor for instructions first, but then I'll have to tell him about your collection of carvings." Yan Jinxuan said.

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Su Zixin nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll take some time to talk to him."

"Okay, thank you!" Su Zixin's mood at the moment is like a lost child finding his way home, both happy and down-to-earth.

"You're welcome."

Seeing that night had fallen, Su Zixin hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Yan Jinxuan and Su Shanyun got up to send each other.

"By the way, I have a lot of thick cloth here, give you a few, and you should also make some winter clothes." Yan Jinxuan said suddenly.

"What's so embarrassing?" Su Zixin hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's okay, we really have a lot of cloth at home." Yan Jinxuan said, so he ordered his subordinates to go to the cloth room to get it.

Su Zixin saw that he was so enthusiastic, so he had no choice but to accept it.

When the three of them walked out of the living room, they saw Shen Zhizhao hurrying over.

"My lord, there is something to report to you." Shen Zhizhao said to Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan and Shen Zhizhao went back to the study.

Su Shanyun continued to accompany Su Zixin to the door.

After the two of them turned a corner from the hand-copying verandah, Su Zixin suddenly said to Su Shanyun: "Shanyun, do you know why the second master loves you so much?" ”

Su Shanyun didn't expect Su Zixin to talk to her about such an emotional topic, and asked with a blushing face: "Do you see something?" ”

Su Zixin said with a smile: "When I was in the car here today, Second Master Yan told me about you, he said that you understand him better than himself, and said that you seem to be delicate, but in fact you have a very strong and independent side. ”

"Did he really say that?" Su Shanyun asked, the deer in her heart was bumping happily.

"Well, he also said that you are kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, studious and knowledgeable, and he likes these qualities in you."

"He's overrated." Su Shanyun said ashamedly. I couldn't help but think in my heart: The second master is too immodest, how can anyone praise his wife like this?

But her heart was very happy and rippling.

"No, he was very serious when he said it, and I can see that his praise for you is not for the sake of boasting." Su Zixin said.

Su Shanyun smiled and said nothing.

"Shanyun, you must be very happy in your life now, right?" Su Zixin asked.

"Hmm." Su Shanyun nodded vigorously. (To be continued.) )
