As the sky gradually darkened, Lao Fan, with a package made of green cloth tucked under his arm, walked hesitantly into the courtyard where An Bohuai lived.
"Are you here? Come in." An Bohuai looked at Lao Fan and couldn't help but burst out with anger in his heart. He really wanted to have a quarrel with Lao Fan, but Lao Fan wanted to harm him for his own selfish interests!
However, thinking of his daughter's instructions, An Bohuai suppressed his emotions again and tried his best to keep a calm expression.
"Old An..." Old Fan looked at An Bohuai with complicated eyes, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
An Bohuai asked, "What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?"
If Lao Fan had a change of heart now and turned around and left immediately, An Bohuai could still forgive him, but unfortunately Lao Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no..."
An Bohuai sighed silently and walked into the house first.
"This is what I showed you before. Take another look at it." Lao Fan opened the package and spread it on the table.
An Bohuai put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.
The three scrolls were paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, and the three ancient books were tightly wrapped in soft cotton cloth. An Bohuai unfolded them one by one, nodding as he read.
That’s right, these were all things that Old Fan had asked him to appraise before, and they were authentic.
An Hua walked out of the inner room and stood beside An Bohuai. She carefully flipped through the ancient book and said in surprise, "There is actually a medical book that is said to have been lost in the Song Dynasty? What dynasty is this version from? Is there any research?"
Lao Fan asked An Bohuai: "Is there anyone else in your family?"
An Bohuai said: "This is my daughter, not a stranger. She just came to visit me today."
Lao Fan said "oh" and nodded, not taking it too seriously.
His only task was to get An Bohuai to leave the things behind, and he didn't care about anything else. Besides, An Hua thinks that you are just a weak woman, nothing special about her.
An Bohuai began to answer his daughter's question, "It is indeed recorded that the original version of the medical book was destroyed in the war during the Song Dynasty. Although there are multiple versions in later generations, the content is more or less incomplete."
As he spoke, An Bohuai pointed at the book on the table, a little excited, "This one is the most comprehensive one, with thirty prescriptions included. It was written in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is the closest to the time when the original version was destroyed. So we can conclude that its content is also the closest to the original version, and it may even be a complete replica of the original version!"
An Bohuai did not study medicine, but he was so excited because the author of this medical book was a famous miracle doctor in the history of our nation. For thousands of years, his name has been engraved in our cultural genes, so this book is not only a representative work of traditional medicine, but also a carrier of national culture.
You can imagine how precious it is.
In addition, two other ancient books and three calligraphy and paintings were also created by famous celebrities.
Lao Fan suggested that these things could be exchanged for food stamps and supplies, so it was no wonder that An Bohuai was so excited.
If it were before the liberation, even if the price was 100,000 silver dollars, many people would probably be scrambling for it.
An Hua thought to herself that Niu Degui was really willing to spend a lot of money to achieve his goal.
Naturally, she would not think that these things originally belonged to the Fan family. Old Fan was just a private school teacher before liberation, and his daughter-in-law's family home was just a small village. It was impossible for them to own such precious items.
