Chapter 448: Decide to donate
Fang Yang looked at Master Bai Yan, who looked like he was crazy, and couldn't help but worry for a while, for fear that the old man's heart would not be able to withstand such a big stimulation.
Although he knew that the calligraphy and painting classics left by Old Man Han should be very precious, Fang Yang didn't have time to come over to take a look at them in the past two days, so he didn't have an intuitive understanding.
Seeing Master Bai Yan's reaction today, it seems that the value of these things that the old man left for himself far exceeded his expectations.
Fortunately, Master Bai Yan was very excited when he first entered the house, and slowly his feelings gradually calmed down. Or to be precise, he should have become numb, because he took out a random book, which was a rare ancient book that had long been rare, and there were even unique books.
Even some books that are not very collectible have become very historical because they are stamped with the special seal of Old Man Han's book collection, and almost every book has the old man's reading experience on it.
It can be said that each of the books on these three large bookshelves is very, very precious.
No matter how good things are, if you see more of them, your psychological endurance will naturally improve.
Master Bai Yan only looked at the ancient books on the shelves slightly, and did not even open a few large cabinets. However, Fang Yang knew that the cabinet should be the calligraphy and paintings collected by Old Man Han and some of his own manuscripts.
Every cabinet was locked, and the key was in Fang Yang's hands.
Master Bai Yan said to Fang Yang Zhengse:
"Fang Yang, the preciousness of these classics far exceeds my expectations, and their value is incalculable! What are you going to do with them? ”
Fang Yang pondered for a moment and replied:
"Teacher, I've been thinking about this for the past two days. Originally, I thought that these things were left by my grandfather, and they were very commemorative, and I was going to organize and keep these books, calligraphy and paintings, and open a museum to exhibit them when I had the ability, so that more people could see these good things, and at the same time, let more people remember my grandfather. But today I learned that these classics left to me by my grandfather are so precious, so I ......"
Master Bai Yan's eyes narrowed and asked:
"So what do you want to do with it?"
Fang Yang said without hesitation:
"Now that I know how precious these things are, I'm worried that if they are damaged or even stolen due to poor storage or security problems during the exhibition, I will be really sorry for my grandfather...... So, I'll probably donate them!
I thought about it, so I donated them to the Military Museum. My grandfather fought all his life, and many books here accompanied him in the southern and northern wars, and many reading notes were written after the battle, and I think the military museum will be the best place for them! And I believe that they will be well kept in a professional museum! ”
As soon as Fang Yang's words fell, Master Bai Yan twisted his beard and smiled, and praised him:
"Good! Xiao Fang Yang, I really didn't misunderstand you! Just now I was worried that you would know the great value of these ancient books, and I couldn't resist the temptation of money, and wanted to trade them! Now it seems that the teacher has lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"
Master Bai Yan pays the most attention to the literati style. Although he admired Fang Yang very much, Fang Yang was still a young man in his twenties after all, and Master Bai Yan couldn't help but be very worried that Fang Yang would not be able to resist the temptation of money at this moment.
You must know that if these ancient books are put up for auction on the market, many of them can be auctioned for sky-high prices!
However, if such a precious ancient book collected by Old Man Han flows into the hands of those speculators, it will definitely be a pearl. If some people take advantage of the loophole and go abroad, it will be an irreparable loss.
Fortunately, Fang Yang did not disappoint Master Bai Yan, he had no intention of selling it at all. Earlier, he wanted to keep it for himself, find an opportunity to hold exhibitions and open a museum, and then changed his mind and planned to donate it, in short, he never had a bad idea of these ancient books.
This made Master Bai Yan very satisfied, and he liked this little disciple more and more.
Fang Yang said with a smile:
"Teacher, although I am young, I also understand a truth, that is, there can be thousands of ways to make money, but many things cannot be exchanged for money."
Master Bai Yan smiled and said:
"Well said! Xiao Fangyang, I am going to live with you for the next few days, some of these books and calligraphy and paintings still need to be protected, and although they have been roughly grouped together, they still need to be classified and counted more reasonably. ”
"Welcome!" Fang Yang was overjoyed and said, "Teacher, I'm going to clean up your room!" ”
Master Bai Yan waved his hand with a smile and said:
"Don't worry, let's take a look at these books together...... I'm really curious, how did Han Lao collect so many precious ancient books? And many of them are so well preserved that it's a miracle! ”
Fang Yang scratched his head and said:
"I don't know much about that...... I also found out today that my grandfather's collection is so terrifying......"
The more Master Bai Yan read these books, the more he liked them, and the teachers and students chatted while doing some preliminary sorting work.
Fang Yang soon found a complete set of seven volumes of "Tianwan Zhiluo" on the bookshelf, and the condition was intact. When Master Bai Yan saw this ancient book, he was like a treasure, and he directly took them to the desk and sat down, and carefully flipped through them, not even caring about the work of sorting out and archiving.
Seeing that he had been immersed in the academic world, Fang Yang didn't bother him anymore, and quietly exited the room, preparing to tidy up Master Bai Yan's room first.
Because Han Xuehua may have to settle down for a long time in the future, Han Lingfei has sent many staff members to tidy up this yard in the past few days, and Fang Yang found a staff member and asked him to clean the room next door first and replace it with brand new bedding.
Until the dinner time came in the evening, Master Bai Yan did not come out, still looking at the "Tianwan Zhiluo", the difference is that as the sky darkened, he turned on the old table lamp, looked at the book seriously under the lamp, and copied the information with a pen from time to time, which was quiet and peaceful.
However, no matter how much he invested, he couldn't skip eating, so Fang Yang still didn't hesitate to enter the house and interrupt Master Bai Yan, and pulled him out without saying anything.
Because Fang Yang was in the capital, Han Lingfei and his family returned to the old house after work, and Han Lingfei's secretary Pei Chengfeng came over together. After he finished helping Fang Yang with his errands in the afternoon, he went directly to work in the General Political Compound, and after getting off work, he drove Fang Yang over the Range Rover that had been licensed.
So Pei Chengfeng also stayed in the old mansion to have dinner together.
Seeing Master Bai Yan, Han Lingfei and his wife were also very surprised, and hurriedly came up to greet them. Master Bai Yan also greeted them with a smile. There is also the old lady Hui Yueying, who also expressed a warm welcome to Master Bai Yan's arrival.
The old mansion of the Han family is rarely so popular, and with Master Bai Yan also there, the old lady Hui Yueying is also very happy. The group sat around for dinner, and the atmosphere was very warm.
During the meal, Master Bai Yan said to Hui Yueying with a smile:
"Sister Hui, your grandson is terrible! Treating money as dung, quite the style of celebrities in ancient times! In the future, it will be a dragon and a phoenix among men! ”
Hui Yueying saw that Master Bai Yan had such a high evaluation of Fang Yang, and naturally she was also happy in her heart, and she and Master Bai Yan's views were the same. Yesterday, when Fang Yang gave the priceless old mansion to Han Lingfei without hesitation, the old lady was already impressed by Fang Yang.
汉雪华 says:
"Bai Lao, Yang Yang this kid is not praised, you still have to criticize him more in the future!"
Master Bai Yan laughed and said:
"Xiao Fang Yang's realm is higher than mine! The ancient books, calligraphy and paintings left by Han Lao are priceless. But this kid didn't have a trace of greed at all, it's very rare! ”
Seeing that Master Bai Yan had talked about this topic, Fang Yang had to talk about the afternoon's events with some embarrassment, and then said to Hui Yueying and the others embarrassedly:
"Grandma, uncle, I didn't ask for your opinions on this matter, I made a decision on my own, I was abrupt......"
Han Lingfei didn't mind and said:
"Fang Yang, you did the right thing! In this way, the value of these collections can be truly brought into play! I believe that if your grandfather is alive, he will definitely support you! ”
Hui Yueying also says:
"Yes, Yangyang! I now know why Old Han insisted on leaving these things to you. Because he believes that you will definitely find a good home for them, although you have only met once, but Lao Han trusts you very much! You didn't disappoint him either! Good boy! ”
Although Han Xuehua and Gu Lin didn't speak, their eyes on Fang Yang were also full of encouragement, and they were obviously very supportive of Fang Yang's decision.
Even Pei Chengfeng, who was in the last seat, looked at Fang Yang with admiration.
Seeing that everyone supported him, Fang Yang put down his heart, and at the same time became more determined in his decision.
Han Lingfei said on the side:
"Fang Yang, since it has been decided, then I will say hello to the military Bo, and ask them to send someone over tomorrow to participate in sorting and archiving, and after these tasks are done, we will have a simple donation ceremony!"
The full name of the military museum is the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, which is subordinate to the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department, and Han Lingfei is their superior leader. Moreover, this matter was Fang Yang's initiative to donate a large number of precious documents to the military expo, Han Lingfei said hello, and they would definitely do it properly.
Fang Yang nodded without hesitation and said:
"That's the best, trouble uncle!"
After eating dinner happily, Master Bai Yan said hello to everyone and couldn't wait to get into the hut. Fang Yang knew the teacher's temperament, so he didn't care about him, lit a cigarette by himself, and sat at the stone table in the courtyard to rest.
Fang Yang thought that he had also agreed to Cui Changan's invitation, and now that Old Man Han had finished taking care of the matter, this matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would be a little lazy.
Thinking of this, Fang Yang took out the business card left by the staff member that day, took out his mobile phone and dialed him
