Chapter 432 Yongle Grand Ceremony

Zhou Xiru was tilted, thinking about this difficult and difficult problem?

In the long years, everything can be faded?

She turned around and looked at the half-wilted crape myrtle flower again, and said, "I heard from my second brother that this family is going to sell their ancestral property and go abroad. I'll ask if these flower trees are sold?"

Xu Zhizhi nodded. He didn't quite understand, what was Zhou Xiru insisting on doing for this flower?

Inside, Chen Shenghai had already invited Li Er to the side room next to him and smiled: "Sir, take a look at whatever you like, just say it."

Li Er took a look and found that it was all wooden guys, and a few porcelains. The most were books, most of which were in a linear shape, and it was well preserved.

However, he did not know much about rare ancient books, and he could also take a look at jade and porcelain.

Zhou Xiru was quite interested in these books, but after seeing them, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have white gloves? Did I forget to bring them?"

Chen Shenghai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

Soon, he took out a pair of gloves from the room next to her and handed them to her, "The people who came to me to see things these days have come to several groups of people, but they have never asked for gloves, hey..."

Zhou Xiru smiled and said, "It would be fine if it was ancient jade porcelain, but it would be difficult for ancient books to be passed down for such a long time, even if they were not precious things."

"Besides, no matter what, it is always a cultural heritage."

Chen Shenghai nodded and said, "What the girl is saying."

Zhou Xiru turned around to read those books, some of which were very ordinary, most of which were printed items from the Republic of China era, with many types and very diverse. It can be seen that the ancestors of the Chen family should be people who like to read and collect books.

In addition, there is a volume of handwritten copies from the Qing Dynasty mixed in, and Zhou Xiru carefully picked it out.

What surprised her the most was that she found two copies of the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and mixed in the printed matters of the Republic of China era.

Thanks to this discovery, Zhou Xiru read all the ancient books in total, with only two copies of the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

Thinking about it, she felt funny again. When Emperor Yongle Zhu Di ordered Yao Guangxiao and others to compile the "Yongle Encyclopedia", which has 22,877 volumes in the book, and there are 60 volumes in the catalog, totaling 11,095 volumes. After the compilation, the original legend was in Yongling.

Of course, if the Yongling of the Ming Dynasty was not opened, no one knew whether the original version of the Yongle Encyclopedia was in Yongling.

As for the dungeon, it was full of disasters. After many wars, it was long lost and damaged.

It is already an unexpected surprise to be able to find two volumes in the old house in Jinling.

"Mr. Chen, how much does it cost to pack all the ancient books?" Zhou Xiru asked directly.

Chen Haisheng seemed a little surprised and asked, "Do you want it all?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Xiru smiled, "I bought a house not long ago, and it was elegant and decorated the study. Now, the study is still vacant."

"The books you have very high quality and are well preserved. I only need to organize and archive them when I buy them. They are very good at putting them in the study. You can also take a look when you are fine."

Chen Shenghai hesitated for a while, and then said, "The big girl bought a new house. Give her auspicious number 1.88 million. What do you think?"

Zhou Xiru smiled and said, "Mr. Chen's price is very fair?"

"Ha..." Chen Shenghai smiled, "The girl is a scholar, and the ones I actually bothered the most are these books."

"If you sell other things, you will always want them. These things - there were a few waves of people who were touching them randomly, but no one wanted them."

"I was thinking yesterday that if no one wants it in the end, I'll donate it."

"But people may not treat them well for money."

Zhou Xiru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will collect them properly."

Chen Shenghai nodded repeatedly and smiled.

Zhou Xiru readily signed a sales contract with him and asked Si Nan to find someone to come and transport the books back. Of course, she was going to take those two volumes of "Yongle Treasure Book" directly back later, so she could not get rid of them or accidentally lost them.

This thing is really not something that money can measure.

As for other things, Zhou Xiru was not very interested.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you are going abroad?" Zhou Xiru asked.

"Yes, my son and daughter are all abroad. I am old this year and it is not convenient for my hands and feet. I am fine, but I can take care of myself, but I can't take care of my old aunt without anyone taking care of me." Chen Shenghai said.

Xu Zhizhi was curious and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you still have an aunt?"

Chen Shenghai nodded and said helplessly: "A few years ago, my son was going to pick me up, but my aunt didn't want to leave and said - "I am a shameless person!"

From Chen Shenghai's narrative, Zhou Xiru knew that Aunt Chen was an old man who had been through the Republic of China and had experienced too many ups and downs. This house was originally her home.

In that special decade, the house was divided, and the things in the house were smashed and robbed, leaving only a small part.

Aunt Chen originally had a child, but was pulled out in winter. She was frozen all night and she was sick and never recovered...

However, she finally survived and endured the rise of China.

Chen Shenghai's mother died early. When she was a child, she was raised by her aunt. He was not a person who forgot his roots and naturally took on the position of supporting the elderly.

It was a few years earlier, but gradually, Aunt Chen was old and weak and had difficulty moving.

Chen Shenghai hired a nanny for her to take care of her. But he didn't know that the nanny not only had his hands and feet, but also beat the old man on his back.

The nanny even forcibly snatched away a golden shrimp bracelet on Aunt Chen’s wrist.

Chen Shenghai called the police in anger.

The police arrived and ordered the nanny to return the gold bracelet.

However, the next day, the nanny brought four or five stout men to the house to cause trouble.

Chen Shenghai called the police again.

The nanny made a harsh statement and told him that he had the ability to kill her, otherwise she would come every day...

"This kind of thing doesn't meet the standard of sentence?" Zhou Xiru was very familiar with this routine and sneered, "I'll be released after being arrested for a few days? It's endless, it's really hateful."

Chen Shenghai nodded and said, "That is, he bullied me and my aunt and I were old and asked me to give me some money."

"I understand, I've paid the money for the first time, the second time, the third time... endlessly, when is the end?"

Zhou Xiru nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, you did the right thing, you must not compromise on this kind of thing."

"So, I called my grandson to come back, sold the goods, and took my aunt to go abroad." Chen Shenghai said, "Even if I took my aunt to open my eyes and see the scenery abroad."

"Since that's the case, the crape myrtle flower at your door has also been sold?" Zhou Xiru smiled and said, "Look, you are going abroad and no one takes care of that flower. Why don't you give it to me together?"
