C65 Huizongs true works (2/2)
”Old Xue, I just sold that book!” Hu-ge stammered.
Just then, the girl behind Old Xue opened his eyes wide and said unhappily: ”Big Tiger, what are you doing? How dare you sell the book my grandfather has taken a fancy to? You don't want to stay in the Linhai anymore, right? ”
”Frost, don't speak nonsense!” The old man immediately snapped.
The girl wrinkled her nose and made a face towards Hu-ge, as if the two of them were very familiar with each other.
But how could Hu-ge have the mood to tease a girl right now? He looked at Old Xue's sullen expression, and was so scared that his legs turned soft. Hu-ge knew that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person. With just a stomp of his foot, not to mention the Linhai, the entire land of the Southern Ocean Region would even tremble if he stomped. If he sold the things that he took a fancy to, how would he be able to live on?
Thinking about that, the Hu-ge immediately explained: Old Xue, you are wrongly accused, unjustly accused! Elder, you just took a glance at it yesterday, and did not say that you like the book, if you ask me, I would not dare to sell the book!
Although the old man was angry, he wasn't unreasonable. He snorted, ”Alright, you don't have to worry. This old man really didn't explain it clearly to you yesterday.”
Suddenly, Old Xue asked again, ”Who did you sell the book to? How much did you sell it for?”
Hu-ge's eyes looked weak as he stammered, ”That book, that book, I just sold it to three students, sold it, sold it for ten dollars!”
As expected, Old Xue's eyes were immediately filled with rage, his beard was about to go crooked from his anger: ”Idiot, idiot, that was a priceless treasure, you actually, actually sold it for ten dollars, you bastard!”
The girl pulled on her grandfather's sleeve. She had never seen her grandfather get so angry before, nor had she ever seen his grandfather, who had always been very cultured, curse like crazy.
The girl said nonchalantly, ”Grandpa, isn't it just a broken book? What's so special about it? Please don't hurt your body because of it!”
”Broken book?” The old man nearly jumped up. ”What do you know? That is Song Huanzong's true work, a genuine Song Edition. What's more important is the note for Song Huizong to read the Classic of the Way of the Way of the Way's Virtue, is that a priceless treasure, a priceless treasure? ”
Hearing Old Xue's words, Hu-ge almost fell to the ground, his eyes staring straight: ”Song Huanzong's true work? I, I actually sold it for ten dollars! Oh my god, oh my god! ”
The girl's reaction was not as exaggerated as Hu-ge, but said innocently: ”Song Huanzong's real work, is it worth as much?”
Old Xue was so angry that he slapped his chest, and said: ”Not very valuable, very valuable. Song Huanzong's real work is calculated according to the word 'money'. The book had at least ten thousand words, and according to the market value, it could be sold for ten million. This is not the main point, the main point is that that book is an important basis for the examination of Laozi's moral scriptures, and it has a very strong academic significance. ”
”Forget it, you won't understand it even if I tell you about these matters!” Old Xue said helplessly.
Hu-ge was about to collapse. And I actually sold the book for 10 yuan, just thinking about it makes me want to vomit blood on the floor.
”Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, my Old Hu played with eagles all his life, but in the end, the falcons caught us and made us blind, hehe, hehe!”
Hu-ge didn't have any strength left, he just sat on the ground and couldn't help but let out a cold breath. But at that moment, Hu-ge recalled that the student who helped him was not an expert at all, the real expert was still the one who helped afterwards.
”Master, master!”
The current Hu-ge did not believe that Ye Qian had bought the genuine work of Song Guang for no reason at all. The inkstone was just a smoke bomb. How could he have accidentally fallen for it?
Old Xue did not have the interest to look at Hu-ge again, he only asked: ”Little Hu, where did those students go?”
Hu-ge pointed at Ye Qian and the other two: ”They are heading towards Qing Yuan!”
Old Xue immediately brought his granddaughter to chase after him. As he walked, he rejoiced: ”Not bad, not bad, the ones who bought the book were only three students. I hope they don't understand anything, it's just for fun!”
The girl followed Old Xue and pouted, asking curiously: ”Grandfather, why didn't you buy that book yesterday when you knew it was a priceless treasure?”
Old Xue stared blankly before sighing bitterly, ”It's still my fault for being too cautious when doing things. Yesterday, when I first saw that book, I thought it was a fake, so I just flipped through a few pages and put it down, not paying much attention. Last night after I went back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was amiss. I spent the entire night flipping through a lot of materials, and also compared them to my family's Song Huizong's notes. Only then did I realize that that book wasn't a fake at all. ”Sigh!”
