Chapter 143 Another Treasure Chest
Just as Aunt Jiang guessed, there were books in the box. Ye Yun'an's face was full of disappointment, as he thought he would dig up a box of gold and silver.
"This book might really be a treasure." Jiang Hongyu picked up the book on top, which had only two simple words on it: "The Art of War".
Jiang Hongyu flipped through a few pages and his expression changed. "This is the lost Wu Gong Military Strategy. Many people wanted to get it during the previous dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be here."
"The art of war?" Ye Yun'an became interested. "If I learn it, can I become a general?"
It is said that every boy has a dream of becoming a general.
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Yun'an, his eyes full of indescribable words: "Given our current situation, if you want to use this book, I guess you still need to work hard."
Yes, they are not even soldiers now, so they really have no chance to use military books.
Ye Yun'an was quite open-minded: "Then I'll learn it first, just in case it comes in handy someday. Let's take a look at what's below."
Jiang Hongyu took out another book from the bottom, and his expression changed several times. He simply took up all the books from the bottom, a total of five books.
There are three books on military strategy and two copybooks, which are the kind that are hard to find on the market.
"Boy, how lucky are you to find so many books?" Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Yun'an, then at Ye Mingzhu.
The meaning is very clear. These two siblings are probably the reincarnations of Fuwa. The sister found money and the brother found books. These things can be passed down from generation to generation.
Since Ye Mingzhu came to the ancient times, she has been used to seeing good things. In her space, there is a box of books that was salvaged from the ship destroyed by Yu Jiaming. She is quite calm about these books.
Ye Yun'an was a little at a loss as to what to do. He rubbed his hands on his body again and again before touching the books on the axis. If you look closely, you will find that his hands are only hovering above the books and have not touched them at all.
"Brother-in-law, are these books really that precious?"
"If you get one of these books and study it carefully, you can become a great general and a calligrapher."
Aunt Jiang suddenly interrupted, her eyes shining strangely under the light.
"Then wouldn't I be rich? I just need to copy a few more copies of these books and sell them. I can get as much money as I want." Ye Yun'an narrowed his eyes, as if he had foreseen a way to get rich.
"I'm afraid you'll be gone before you even see the money." Ye Mingzhu said unhappily.
Ye Yun'an woke up from her sweet dream and pouted: "Sister, I'm just talking."
"Yun'an, this matter cannot be discussed casually. Since we bought this house, many people have been paying attention to us. If people knew that we had unearthed precious military books and calligraphy, our family would have a hard time in the future."
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Yun'an with a serious expression on his face.
Ye Yun'an put away the joking expression on his face: "Sister and brother-in-law, I know, I won't tell anyone."
Aunt Jiang saw that none of them looked proud, but rather nervous. She shook her head and said, "I guess this book may not be the treasure they say it is."
"Most people who get these things would hide them away and wouldn't bring them out. What people call treasures are mostly money."
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu looked at each other, and both felt that the wisest person in the family was probably their mother.
"But these military manuals and calligraphy copybooks can't be taken out. It's best to copy the military manuals first and only read them at home. As for the calligraphy copybooks, it's better to be careful when writing."
After hearing this, the three of them began to nod.
"Why don't you put this calligraphy away first, sister and brother-in-law. You won't need it during this period. I'll also need you to copy this military manual."
Ye Yun'an looked at Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu with a smile.
Jiang Hongyu is the best calligrapher in this family. He was still a little touched when he saw that his brother-in-law asked them to keep such precious books.
In the eyes of some people, these military books and calligraphy works are more precious than the jewels they found before.
"Okay, I'll take these military books first. I'll give you the originals after I finish copying them. The copybooks will be with your sister for now. I'll give them to you after you get married."
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Yun'an with a serious expression.
"No need, leave these with my sister. I'm still young." When talking about marriage, Ye Yun'an's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Ye Mingzhu understood what Jiang Hongyu meant. She glanced at Aunt Jiang, who was looking at them with a faint smile on her face.
"Your brother-in-law means that these two calligraphy books are yours and will be returned to you in the future."
Ye Mingzhu simply made her words clearer, but Ye Yun'an kept shaking his head: "I don't want it."
Ye Mingzhu looked at Aunt Jiang's expression again. The smile on her face remained unchanged.
Jiang Hongyu said: "These things were discovered by Yun An, and you dug them up. They are all yours."
Ye Yun'an firmly disagreed: "My brother-in-law helped me dig, and my sister and aunt helped move the soil. Besides, this house still belongs to my sister and brother-in-law."
Aunt Jiang's face was filled with relief as she watched the children turning down books that others considered extremely valuable.
"These books are divided into two sets. The Jiang family takes one military book and one copybook, and the Ye family takes two military books and two copybooks. The military book is copied twice, and each family has one."
Aunt Jiang made the decision for them.
Ye Yun'an's face flushed red and he wanted to refute.
"Xiao An, although this house belongs to your sister and brother-in-law, they can't get it unless you dig it out. Besides, a military book and a calligraphy copy are enough for the Jiang family to pass down."
After hearing what Aunt Jiang said, Ye Yun'an stopped objecting.
"I'm still young, why don't you leave this book with your sister first? I'm afraid I might lose it."
Ye Yun'an trusted his sister 100%, and he was not worried at all that his sister would take the book and not give it to him.
Jiang Hongyu also asked Ye Mingzhu to put the book away, and he would buy some good paper tomorrow to copy the book.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Aunt Jiang yawned and prepared to go back to the house.
"Aunt, are we going to dig our cellar?" Ye Yun'an called Aunt Jiang. He was a little nervous. If the book collector knew that he had dug the cellar, it would be obvious who would have the books.
"Why don't we fill the hole tomorrow to avoid any subsequent problems." Jiang Hongyu thought it would be better to be cautious.
Ye Mingzhu nodded.
Aunt Jiang also agreed. Ye Yun'an didn't have the slightest hint of sleepiness in his eyes. "Then I'll go fill the hole now."
Ye Mingzhu: ...
Jiang Hongyu: ...
Aunt Jiang: ...
Ye Mingzhu yawned and said, "Yun'an, it's not too late to fill the pit tomorrow."
"No, if someone comes tomorrow and sees the big hole, it will be hard to explain." Ye Yun'an insisted, "My brother-in-law and I will go fill the hole, and my sister and aunt can go to sleep."
Aunt Jiang nodded: "This job is suitable for the two of them, Mingzhu, let's go to bed."
Seeing her mother-in-law leave without any regret for her son, Ye Mingzhu was not so at ease: "I'll stay by your side."
This pit has been dug for several days. If we want to fill it back in one night, it may not be possible for two people to finish the job.
In order to restore the place to its original state, the three men filled the pile of soil back in and even put the stones back in.
It was not until dawn that the pit was filled. Ye Mingzhu was exhausted, but Ye Yun'an and Jiang Hongyu were in high spirits.
"You should have a good rest at home today. I will buy some food for lunch." Jiang Hongyu asked Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an to go to sleep. He still had to be on duty today.
Ye Mingzhu simply washed up and lay back on the bed.
Who knew that before he had slept for long, there was a knock on the door: "Mrs. Jiang, open the door quickly, there is something important.
