Chapter 38 Yongle Ceremony (Second update, please collect)

You never know what you will encounter in the second-hand market!
  Of course, I don’t know what new skills you will unlock!
  Porcelain, art, bronze...

"Recently imitated Western Zhou bronzes and placed them in urine pits to speed up..."

The prompt that popped up from the system made Li Yian almost throw out the copperware in his hand.

It was actually soaked in a urine puddle!
  But even so, the seller is still very valuable.

"100 packs of Camel cigarettes, sir! Just 100 packs. My father bought this when he was in China. This is an antique from thousands of years ago!"

have to……

His father probably met a master who specializes in making fake antiques. Thanks to a TV series he had watched before, Li Yian also knew that from the day the country opened, there were many experts who specialized in making fake antiques.

According to them, it would be a disservice to their ancestors to ignore those ignorant foreign devils.

"I'm very sorry. There really aren't that many cigarettes. It's such a good thing. It's a pity..."

Shaking his head, Li Yian did not reveal it. He had been shopping in the second-hand market for a long time, and he had gained a lot. In addition to the Picasso oil painting, he also bought more than [-] paintings from the Ming Dynasty and the Kangxi and Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. porcelain, but only a few dozen packs of cigarettes.

Although the system did not give a valuation for these things, and each transaction did not even increase the experience value, because the system was assisting him in identifying them, but even so, Li Yian was very satisfied.

After all, there is a family heirloom.

"Not to mention anything else, just that vase, after decades of storage, it will still be two small goals!"

Feeling that the second-hand market was full of treasures and that he had gained a lot, Li Yian left from the other direction. Just when he was about to leave the park, he suddenly made up his mind.

The 5.0 vision came into play at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the pile of books... If it weren't for the yellowed covers and the tightly arranged words that were very conspicuous in the pile of English books, Li Yian would not even be able to read them. He wouldn't take another look, but at this moment, he was standing there.

Staring motionlessly at the books with yellowed covers, Li Yian couldn't believe his eyes. After a moment of astonishment, he hurriedly walked towards the old British woman's bookstall, but as he approached, he deliberately Slow down to avoid being caught in your eagerness.

As he got closer, Li Yian forced himself to calm down. When he picked up one of the books, he seemed calm on the surface, but he was excited inside, and his hands might even be trembling slightly.

"Yongle Ceremony."

The moment he picked up the book, he turned on the system, and the information displayed on the system told him that these books were the original versions of the Yongle Dadian!

Before coming to the second-hand market, he never thought that he would see this book here. It was not just one book, but... more than thirty volumes!

Thick stacks of books make people wonder if they have read it wrong!
  "Sir, are you Chinese? My husband brought this back from China more than [-] years ago, when he was serving in the military..."

Just at this moment, the old woman's words came to his ears.

Serve in the military!

The stupid Eight-Nation Alliance Army!

No...it's your daughter!
  The old woman wearing glasses looked at him and said
  "It's two pounds a copy if you're interested!"

Hearing this, Li Yian threw the book down directly.

"Madam, these are just a few books! And they are still incomplete..." ˆ ˆ ˆ "Sir, if you need them, I still have some at home, um..."

The woman held her glasses and thought for a moment before saying.

"There is probably a box, yes, a Chinese-style wooden box. I really don't know what Adam is thinking. When others go to China, they bring back only porcelain and gold. He actually brought back a whole box of books. He knows those Words? If you want them, I can sell them to you for only two hundred pounds."

What, there’s a box!

Are they all Yongle ceremonies?
  Wait, how could there be so many?
  This is not a trap!

Facts have proved that Li Yian was overthinking it. When he drove to the old woman's house with him, he was not even invited into the old woman's house. The old woman took him directly to the yard, where there was a small wooden house of one or two square meters. It wasn't until the old woman pointed to the Chinese-style wooden box under the firewood that he realized that he was overthinking it. Only here did he take his hand out of his pocket, where the gun was.

"Get it all here, a whole box full of these books..."

Looking at the wooden box placed with the firewood, Li Yian seriously suspected that if he hadn't appeared, maybe this year or next winter, these books would have been turned into firewood by the old woman for heating in the winter!

Ruthless things!

This is definitely a waste of natural resources!

Although I was a little angry inside, I was more grateful to be here.

Especially when I opened the box and saw that it was filled with books! Yes, it is the Yongle Dadian. Most of them are even kept in sealed boxes. Who would have imagined that the "Yongle Dadian" that future generations cherish and yearn for is here, even though it is not the entire volume. , but at least there are six to seven hundred volumes!
  Li Yian said while secretly feeling lucky.

"Ma'am, these books are definitely not worth 200 pounds, but I have them here..."

As he spoke, he took out four cartons of Camel cigarettes from his bag and said.

"I also have four cartons of Camel cigarettes that I can trade for, if you'd like..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old woman said impatiently.

"make a deal!"

As we all know, Camel cigarettes are better than British pounds in the market. Not to mention four! Until the book box was loaded into the car, the old woman still kept talking.

"Adam finally did something good in his life..."

Yes, you did a good thing too!
  Li Yian couldn't help but feel lucky. When he drove away, he was still excited. He knew very well that the value of those books could no longer be described in terms of money.

"What kind of book is there? It's obviously a national treasure!"

He was overjoyed and in such a good mood that he even secretly decided that as long as he had time in the future, he would come to the UK more often, for no other reason than to visit the second-hand market. Who knows what treasures he would encounter here?

There are a lot of treasures in the hands of the British...

This is no longer about missing something, but getting back the lost national treasure here...
