After delivering the supplies, Chu Xiao drove to the antique shop.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car drove up to the antique shop, it spotted a tall, slender figure.
Huo Zishan changed into a light blue long dress and stood calmly under the carved mahogany lantern. When she saw Chu Xiao, she smiled gently.
"Mr. Chu, you've finally arrived."
Upon hearing this, the door of the mahogany shop opened quickly from the inside, and Chairman Huang walked out with an excited expression.
"What? Miss Huo, is what you're saying true? Mr. Chu really came?"
Chu Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
What happened?
It's as if Huo Zishan had anticipated his arrival long ago.
But none of that mattered. He opened the trunk and smiled at Huo Zishan.
"Since Miss Huo is here, that's even better. I have a few antiques here; could you please take a look at them for me?"
Just as Huo Zishan was about to speak, Chairman Huang rushed to the trunk first, his voice trembling as he looked at the cardboard boxes inside:
"President Chu, how come you have so many antiques?"
Huo Zishan glanced around and quickly interrupted him.
"Chairman Huang, please invite Mr. Chu into the store so we can talk more."
She welcomed Chu Xiao to sit on the sofa.
“Mr. Chu, I have already discussed the items you brought last time with the curators of various museums. Chairman Huang is the curator of the Da Gan Wen Hua Museum.”
"If we can obtain more artifacts related to the Great Gan Dynasty to prove this dynasty, you will be a meritorious official."
It turns out that Huo Zishan wasn't just a private dealer; there was a museum dedicated to him, and they wanted to prove the existence of this dynasty and write Daqian into history.
Chairman Huang didn't care about these details and couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Chu, what good stuff have you brought this time? Show me!"
Chu Xiao opened the box that was on the ground and placed it on the glass table.
When they saw the gold ingots and gold wine vessels placed on the table, the two were dumbfounded.
"This...this is the gold ingot from Daqian? It's round at the bottom, wide in the middle, and pointed at both ends, shaped like a small boat."
"However, the gold content is not high at this time, so the surface is slightly black and there are many pits."
"Look! There are still distinctive marks on the bottom!"
He glanced at Chu Xiao, then picked up a golden wine vessel, touching the red-eyed phoenix pattern on it, and muttered to himself, "That's it, this set of wine vessels and that set of golden bowls are a set..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiao opened another brocade box, revealing a scroll of white jade.
The people present were all stunned the moment they saw JianShu.
Compared to these antiques, the writings and history of the Great Gan Kingdom are even more sought after.
Chairman Huang's hands were shaking.
"Oh my, this is a jade slip from the Great Gan Kingdom! It contains records of the Great Gan culture and is more precious than any gold or silver!"
Huo Ziyu stopped looking at the other antiques and sat down next to him, watching him slowly unroll the jade slip.
There are thirty jade slips in total, each with two holes drilled in it and connected in the middle with gold thread.
The characters on the surface of the jade slip are gold, somewhat resembling traditional cursive script, with strong and vigorous strokes and a free and unrestrained style.
Chairman Huang was very familiar with the script of this dynasty, and he read it aloud as he looked at it:
"After thirteen years of intensive labor, the country suffered a severe drought, all industries withered, the border city of Liang was hit by sandstorms, hundreds of miles of yellow sand, water sources dried up, food and fodder were scarce, and corpses of the starved were everywhere."
"The people were starving, and the livestock had run out of food. The Huo family army had suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of its 100,000 soldiers killed or wounded. Princess Da Gan couldn't bear to see the soldiers go hungry, so she killed horses and dug up grass roots and tree bark to help the soldiers get through the crisis."
"However, the Emperor of Daqian is muddleheaded and treacherous officials are in power. The relief supplies have been delayed for a long time. Princess Yue Zhao has been trapped at the border for several months and is in dire straits. I fear her days are numbered."
This is a record of events, and also a farewell book.
Its historical value is immeasurable!
