Chapter 157 Soaked
"So you don't even know how to read." Xiao Mufeng replied sarcastically.
Rabbit Dad was furious and raised his claws to slap Xiao Mufeng.
Amidst the crisp sound of "pa", there were Xiao Mufeng's screams and Rabbit Dad's angry rebuttal.
"You can't even read. I can read."
"I have read all the Four Books and Five Classics."
Li Shaofeng was shocked, "You even have the Four Books and Five Classics?"
The empire did not have the complete Four Books and Five Classics. All it had were "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" from the Four Books, and those were incomplete versions.
There was no trace of the remaining two books and the Five Classics.
No one knows which two books and five classics they are.
Lu Jinxiu's focus was rather peculiar. He warned, "If you don't intend to sell it or donate it to a museum, don't expose your Four Books and Five Classics, unless you want to suffer in the future."
The attention of Rabbit Dad and Jian Yan was successfully diverted. They said in unison, "If you expose yourself, you'll go to jail or be forced into a sale. If you don't agree, you'll be hunted down, okay?"
Oh, what a big ghost.
With such a serious reminder, why can this father and daughter ruin the atmosphere and make it not serious at all?
Before this, he couldn't understand why a rabbit and a little human girl fell in love with each other and became father and daughter. Now he understood.
Because their thought processes are all equally unique.
With an expressionless face, he looked at the man and rabbit staring at him with wide eyes, and said helplessly, "No, it's just that I get harassed by big collectors and curators of major museums."
"The Four Books and Five Classics hold a unique status in the empire. It could be said that all the items our ancestors brought from Blue Star have reached the level of national treasures.
National treasures are not kept in private collections, as this involves patriotism and a sense of honor for the country.
But those collectors are willing to collect imitations that are indistinguishable from the real ones.
Once the news that Adonis has the Four Books and Five Classics gets out, those collectors and museum directors will come after him like a cat smelling blood.
This harassment will not stop until you are willing to sell or loan it out for reprinting."
In short, “···”
Rabbit Dad, “!!!”
The man and the rabbit looked at each other and said simply, "Dad, remember to hide well."
"No need to hide." Rabbit Dad didn't care.
"You want to sell it?" Ou Yu's thoughts were successfully diverted by his words.
Lu Jinxiu and the others were no less surprised than Ou Yu, "Are you serious?"
"Hey, what's so serious about this?"
Rabbit Dad waved his paw and said angrily, "The reason I said there's no need to hide the books is not because I want to sell them, but because there are no books to hide because they've all been soaked and rotted."
Lu Jinxiu and the others were in a mess in the wind.
"Soaked?"
"Yeah, stuff that can't be eaten or drunk, do you really expect me to throw those useless things into the space and keep them safe?"
Rabbit Dad is as righteous as ever.
This was not the end. In front of Lu Jinxiu and the others' shocked and grief-stricken expressions, he dropped another bomb, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.
"Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of books that have been soaked. Let me think about it, besides the Four Books and Five Classics, there seems to be something like the Complete Library in the Four Treasures, the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government, the Yongle Encyclopedia, and the Records of the Grand Historian..."
"Stop talking, please don't go on."
Lu Jinxiu and the others were so heartbroken that they were almost suffocating. They wanted to beat this prodigal rabbit to death for talking so excitedly.
It's so infuriating.
You must know that several generations of people in the empire have been studying the incomplete ancient books left by their ancestors.
