Chapter 193 Please take it home
"What's this?" Zhu Ya'an came forward curiously, and Ye Lan and Ye Yunhuai also came over.
Ye Xunzhi squatted on the ground, and had found a new wire in his hand, and was poking it hard into the keyhole.
"I don't know, we brought it back when we went to the beach, and we haven't opened it yet."
"Did you go to play shooting games?" Zhu Ya'an looked at Ye Yunhuai inquiringly.
"No, I saved a killer whale when I went there." Ye Yunhuai said calmly.
Zhu Ya'an nodded and patted Ye Yunhuai's shoulder in appreciation: "Boss, you are great. You are really kind and know how to rescue small animals."
Ye Xunzhi: "And me! I cut the rope, and this treasure chest is the gift from the killer whale to us."
"Wow, great!" Zhu Ya'an gave a thumbs up: "Mommy will treat you to Australian lobster tonight as a reward."
"Great!"
Ye Yunhuai:?
"Oh, why are you all gathered here?" Just after returning from a meeting, Director Shang of the embassy noticed the movement here, walked over in a friendly manner, and said with a smile:
"Is there any activity?"
"Click." The crisp sound of unlocking rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
The treasure chest opened, and Ye Xunzhi immediately looked over with expectation.
[Gold coins, gold coins, I want little gold!]
The two brothers who heard her inner voice: "..."
Ye Yunhuai: Don't you have a golden coral on your body?
Ye Lan: This guy is really obsessed with money.
The seal of the treasure chest was made extremely well, even to the point of being a miracle. Even after being soaked in the sea for many years, there was no trace of seawater soaking inside.
In Ye Xunzhi's extremely expectant eyes, the treasure chest was opened and inside were - another three wooden boxes?
[Where are the nesting dolls?]
Ye Xunzhi speechlessly took out the largest wooden box and opened it. A thousand-year-old, azure blue kingfisher crown appeared before his eyes.
Perhaps because it sank to the bottom of the sea and the treasure chest was completely isolated from the air, the phoenix crown inside was preserved in an exceptionally good condition, without any need for repair, as if it could pull people back to the heyday of a thousand years ago.
"This, this is a priceless antique, a national treasure!"
Director Shang exclaimed. With his eyesight trained over the years, he could tell at a glance that it was probably authentic.
"It looks good." Zhu Ya'an touched it lightly with his fingers.
Director Shang screamed: "Touch it gently!!"
Ye Xunzhi stuffed the phoenix crown into Zhu Ya'an's hand, turned around and looked at another flat box. When he opened it, he saw a row of bright red robes inside, with the phoenix on it outlined with gold threads, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
Director Shang: "This is a phoenix robe! A red wedding dress embroidered with phoenixes, how could something that once belonged to the royal family be here?!"
Ye Lan touched it curiously: "Is this the top craftsmanship of ancient times? It feels really good."
Director Shang held his face and screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhh! Don't touch it casually! At least wash your hands first!!!"
Ye Yunhuai looked at the director who was concentrating on screaming, and then looked at the three people with calm faces.
Do you really not care about the life and death of the director? He looks like he is about to break.
Ye Xunzhi opened the last wooden box, which was a rectangular wooden box with a scroll inside.
On it was a female general riding a warhorse, and beside her stood the emperor in iron armor, and the two looked at each other with affection.
The content of the scroll is very simple, with only two lines of short handwriting at the bottom.
The woman's handwriting is gentle and powerful: I dedicate myself to the country, I don't want to get married, I only wish that my country will be safe forever and the world will be peaceful.
The man's handwriting is vigorous and restrained: I will fulfill your wish and not enter the palace. It is as deep as the sea. You protect the people above, and I am in the court. Sharing the prosperity and peace is the most beautiful story between you and me.
Director Shang made a reasonable analysis:
"In history books, there was indeed a female general whose military achievements were as great as those of men, but she never married in her entire life. Unexpectedly, she was secretly engaged to the emperor of the time." "
I suspect these things are treasures brought back by the people of Country F when they robbed our Country Z. I heard that a ship sank in a shipwreck that year, and this treasure chest is very likely one of the goods on it."
Director Shang had just heard from Ye Yunhuai that this was a thank-you gift after they rescued the killer whale.
Zhu Ya'an nodded in agreement, put her hand around Director Shang's neck, and said confidently:
"Old Shang, I think your analysis makes sense. So you should not tell anyone about this, these are my child's things."
She smiled brightly and said: "To be honest, you shouldn't be here today."
Director Shang: "..."
Are you trying to silence me?
He was silent for a full minute and sighed helplessly:
"I understand. I will respect your child's opinion. After all, we have known each other for so many years and you know my temper. I am not a power-seeking person."
"Hey, hey, I absolutely have no doubt about your intention."
Zhu Ya'an let go with satisfaction. Director Shang walked behind Ye Xunzhi and asked slowly with a gentle face:
"So Zhizhi, what are you going to do with these cultural relics? Are you going to collect them or confiscate them?"
Ye Xunzhi did not answer immediately, but looked at his two brothers.
Ye Lan looked at the pile of cultural relics and made an objective assessment:
"These things are very collectible and can be said to be priceless treasures. If you keep them, they will definitely be heirlooms of our family."
Ye Yunhuai said from a businessman's perspective:
"Even if you don't collect them, you can definitely get a sky-high price if you auction them, and you can make a lot of money."
Director Shang was nervous: "Are you ready to auction them? Then tell me when you go to sell them so that I can go and bid."
The things from their country Z must return to their homeland and must not flow overseas.
Ye Xunzhi looked at the three people who each insisted on their own opinions and looked at the things in the treasure chest depressedly.
[Why must it be cultural relics and not big gold? 】
She looked at the heroic woman in the portrait, then at the phoenix crown and bridal robe beside her, and the four big characters - Home and Country Forever Safe.
[Come to think of it, this thing has been in the waters of Country F for thousands of years... It's so annoying, I'm going to lose a lot of money, maybe tens of millions, no, just thinking about it makes me sick.]
Ye Xunzhi closed the treasure chest with a ruthless heart and stuffed it directly into Zhu Ya'an's hand.
"Ah!" Zhu Ya'an looked up in surprise, Ye Xunzhi was already squatting in the corner with his back to her, like a soft cat pancake, and the background was gray.
"Take it, take it quickly, take it home!" Ye Xunzhi said,
"I have only one request for this cultural relic donation, put it in the most conspicuous place in the National Museum, not the gorgeous phoenix crown and bridal robe, but the picture of a woman in military uniform."
[It would be best if there were eight big characters next to it - Ye Xunzhi, she deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Temple.]
Ye Lan bent down and rubbed the listless head in comfort.
Ye Xunzhi muttered: "Take it away, take it away quickly, I don't want to see it for the time being."
"Okay." Zhu Ya'an laughed and hugged the treasure chest, then the relaxed expression on his face faded, and he saluted Ye Xunzhi solemnly:
"Then thank this comrade for returning the cultural relics to the motherland. Our first detachment promised that we will personally escort the cultural relics back to the country today, please rest assured."
Ye Xunzhi saw this scene with his peripheral vision and stood up quickly. Although he was flustered, the moment he saluted still revealed his restraint in his bones:
"Okay, I wish you a smooth return to the country this time."
