Chapter 111: Responsibility
Remember [Literature Bus] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
Although Hu Xiaohong moved to Meixiangyuan and went upstairs with the Lin family, Hu Xiaoyu was still unwilling to live with her aunt and still firmly stayed at the Lin family.
Hu Xiaohong has to go to work every day, although she doesn't feel that Hu Xiaoyu still needs to be taken care of, but she is also worried about her safety, there are not many foxes in their fox clan, so every cub is precious.
Hu Xiaoyu is stupid, she can refuse the rescue of her clan because of the little favor in the zoo, how can she rest assured that she will leave a fox at home?
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to what she was doing in the Lin family, and said a word to her very firmly, and when he saw that she insisted on staying in the Lin family, he would no longer persuade her.
Hu Xiaohong couldn't help but feel a little weak, so Lin Qingwan just mentioned that she wanted to buy those old goods, so she took a lot of books and pen, ink, paper and inkstones from her cousin.
After staying at the Lin family for two days, she found that the Lin family didn't have much in anything, only books and old things.
Not to mention that there is a special collection room, there is also a special study room, in which the high shelves are full of books.
Hu Xiaohong thinks she is erudite, after all, she was admitted to the civil service by her strength, but she didn't expect the Lin family to have so many books.
And listening to Grandpa Lin's proud tone, it is obvious that both grandparents and grandchildren have read these books.
Since you want to please people, of course, you have to do what you like, and the fox is still very good at this.
So Lin Qingwan entered the Hu family, Hu Xiaohong opened a box, pointed to the messy things in it and said: "Oh, this is what my third aunt left to my cousin, it was all given to her by her human lover, we don't like to read, you see how much money you can exchange, just give some." ”
There were a few paintings piled up in the box, a dozen books and some boxes of pen and ink inkstones, and a pile of rice paper that was also bundled and thrown inside.
Lin Qingwan: "...... Your aunt has a lot of lovers? ”
"Of course," Hu Xiaohong said proudly: "The third aunt is the longest-lived fox among our six-tailed foxes, she was born in a good era, and she has only been transformed for more than 20 years after her birth and wisdom, and she has been traveling the world since she became a shape. There are countless lovers and rich variety, but unfortunately our six-tailed fox has a difficult birth, and the third aunt did not give birth to my cousin until she was over 600 years old. ”
Hu Xiaohong sighed: "More than 80 years ago, when the world was in turmoil, my cousin and aunt went down the mountain to play, got involved in the war, and later died on the battlefield. ”
Lin Qingwan didn't expect that the Anti-Japanese War back then would even involve the fox clan.
Hu Xiaohong seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "Not only our six-tailed fox, but also other demon clans are involved. ”
"Although most of our demon clan live in the mountains, they are not isolated from the world, those people's aircraft and cannons have even bombarded the deep mountains and old forests, and of course our cave has also been affected, and," Hu Xiaohong had already opened her mind at that time, but she had not transformed into a shape, she had an experience, "Although our relationship with the human race is complicated, there are discords, and there is natural harmony, we can't watch the humans we shelter being bombed to death, right?" ”
On top of that, their survival is also at stake.
At that time, Hu Xiaohong had just opened her spiritual wisdom not long ago, and she was still a cub in the clan, because the war affected their territory, and the third aunt had to take them to migrate deeper into the mountains and forests.
At that time, I didn't care about my cousin and aunt who were still out playing.
At that time, there were many young people in the clan who had advanced mana and sneaked down the mountain, and those few people got along well with the human race, and few of them were able to come back later.
It was also from that time that the fox clan knew that the current human race can hurt the demon even if it does not rely on Taoist monks with cultivation, not to mention their aircraft cannons, even guns can shoot the fox through the right.
Since then, the fox people prefer to live alone in the mountains, and rarely interact with humans below the mountains.
So Hu Xiaohong and Hu Dengtian were very confused when they first came down the mountain, because the world had completely changed.
What also changes is the value of these old things that they never look at.
Lin Qingwan sat cross-legged on the carpet, took out the contents of the box one by one, and carefully placed them on the carpet.
Seeing that some books were still on the pages, Lin Qingwan was very distressed.
Most of these books are very ordinary, although they are ancient books, but the content can be found in the present.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Su have always positioned the value of ancient books on their content, so when she saw the bottom two very old hand-copied volumes of "Mozi", she was stunned.
Lin Qingwan carefully took out the yellowed and rolled book, pressed it with an inkstone, looked at Hu Xiaohong with blazing eyes and asked, "Is there still such a book?" ”
Hu Xiaohong glanced at it and said, "No, you guys are so strange, you don't like such good books, you have to like tattered ones." ”
Lin Qingwan thought about it, put the other ancient books back in the box, only took these two copies of "Mozi", then took two more paintings, put the other things in a different category for her, and said: "I have five million in my hand, I will buy these four things with you, you have to think that the price is not appropriate......"
Hu Xiaohong's mouth opened wide, "Just these four things are worth so much money?" ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "The painting is fine, but this book is a priceless treasure in the eyes of those of us, because many of the contents of these two Mozi books have been lost." I'm taking advantage of you. ”
Lin Qingwan paused and said, "That's it, if you don't want these things, I can ask my uncle to come and buy them, the price he gave is still very reasonable in the industry." ”
Hu Xiaohong said thoughtfully: "Okay, since it's an acquaintance, then I'll give him a little more discount." ”
Lin Qingwan responded with a smile, and went downstairs happily with the books and paintings in her arms.
As soon as she left, Hu Dengtian came out of the guest room, looked at the closed door and said with a smile: "This friend of yours is sincere, I took this box of things to the Panjiayuan you said before, and I will give 800,000 yuan when the whole box is down." ”
Hu Xiaohong covered the box and said: "So you should keep those things, if you are short of money and send them to me, Lin Qingwan knows a lot of people in this area, and the price is much fairer than that of Pan Jiayuan." ”
Hu Dengtian stretched out his hand and said, "I have five million now, and I am not short of money to spend." ”
Hu Xiaohong slapped him on the hand and said, "Lin Qingwan hasn't given me any money yet, and don't forget that you owe me a lot of money, and all of it will ......be deducted in the future."
"There are still 4,963,500 yuan left," Hu Dengtian still stretched out his hand and said: "I keep all the accounts, I am very economical, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, I don't want the fraction of 500 yuan." I have to go back to school in the afternoon, Lin Qingwan will definitely not cheat you, so you can pay first. ”
"My money is all for the house, where is the money?" Hu Xiaohong pushed his hand away, and was about to leave, when he suddenly came back and said: "Xiaoyu's living expenses can't be paid by me alone, she is also your niece, so don't ask for the 63,000." ”
Hu Dengtian, who had an average monthly living expenses of 2,000 before, felt distressed, but when he thought that he still had 4.9 million, he simply suppressed the distress and nodded: "Yes." ”
The hand was stretched out again.
Hu Xiaohong looked at him seriously and said, "Cousin, I really don't lie to you, I really don't have any money now, and now that Lin Qingwan has bought all the money for your books and paintings, I have to live on a dead salary again." ”
Lin Qingwan didn't let Hu Xiaohong wait for a long time, put the things in the study and locked them, and then took the bank card to transfer the money.
Hu Dengtian hid again, Hu Xiaohong shook the corners of his mouth, and went to connect with Lin Qingwan, no, it was to transfer money.
"The contents of this box are my cousin's, and I also have a few pieces of old jewelry there, why don't you help me sell them?"
"No problem," Lin Qingwan smiled briskly: "In the future, if you are still short of money, come to me, I know many people." ”
"Okay."
The two glanced at each other, and the tacit understanding was all in a smile.
Lin Qingwan was naturally not introduced in vain, and Hu Xiaohong secretly thought, should she also take a little kickback from her cousin?
Lin Qingwan liked the two manuscripts, and ran home to read them after paying.
After turning over the two books and sorting out the pages inside, he took the book and went down to find Lin Su.
This is a manuscript with some annotations. Because it was so old, many of the words were blurred, and even the hand-copied content was affected, so she had to fix it.
But she is better at hard objects, and her handwriting restoration is far inferior to that of other teachers in the school, not even her grandfather.
So Lin Qingwan showed the book to Lin Su.
Lin Su was so shocked that he almost dropped Hu Xiaoyu in his arms, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly washed his hands and wiped it clean before touching the book with white gloves.
A lot of the handwriting is just blurred, and you can still see it if you distinguish it carefully, but there are also many words that are simply blurred, and you can't tell what the words are at all.
This kind of restoration is more difficult.
Lin Su flipped through it and said: "The situation of the two books is similar, there are a lot of contents, I'm afraid I can't fix it alone." ”
"Then you're going to meet our teacher tomorrow?"
Lin Su asked curiously, "Where did you get these two books?" ”
"Bought it."
Lin Su nodded, and didn't ask the price, but asked, "Have you ever thought about what to do with it after the repair?" ”
"I'll copy a copy by hand, and give it to the school." Lin Qingwan smiled: "This is also my contribution to the school." ”
Lin Su smiled slightly: "Then I'll call your teacher tomorrow, I'm old and don't like to walk, so let him come to the door." ”
Lin Qingwan was moved in her heart, hugged his arm and said, "Grandpa, you are so good." ”
It's not that he doesn't like to walk out, otherwise he wouldn't walk every morning and evening, he just doesn't want to go far, he's just afraid that she will worry.
Lin Su happily took the book back to the study, Lin Qingwan wanted to take Hu Xiaoyu to practice, but after sitting down, she couldn't calm down, so she simply got up and went to the study to be busy with Lin Su.
The value of such books in the thrift market has always been polarized, and when they meet people like Lin Su and Lin Qingwan, they are willing to give out five million.
But they are not people who study words, and they have no hobby in this area, and 50,000 is too much.
Because such a manuscript was not left by a well-known person, there is really no merit except for the content.
Even the content is blurred, and it may not be true, and I don't know how many years of research it will take to be sure.
So no one would go to such a thankless time to buy such a book.
However, they study history in order to restore the lost culture, study the laws of history, and let future generations learn from the desirable ideas and experiences of the ancients.
Therefore, the text content that has been lost in this way is often the most precious.
