The owner of the bamboo slips is a foreign antique dealer named Joseph.
He has a neatly groomed brown beard and is dressed in a gentlemanly manner, but his eyes reveal shrewdness.
When Joseph saw Yu Nian and Xie You, he quickened his pace and walked up to them.
He first put the password box in his hand on the ground, and then solemnly arranged his suit jacket.
Then he stretched out his hand to Yu Nian and said in less than standard Chinese, "Very good."
It’s a pleasure to meet you and I wish you well.”
Yu Nian smiled gracefully and said, "Nice to meet you."
After receiving Yu Nian's answer, Joseph's smile became brighter, "No, no, no, it's my honor."
After shaking hands with Xie You again, he sat down on the opposite side and opened his mouth to express his bitterness, "I thought this bamboo slip could be sold for a good price, but I didn't expect that it would cause big trouble and get involved in a bilateral dispute between the two countries.
"It's really worrying.
Last time I was in Hong Kong City, I almost got rid of my things.
In the end, I had to cancel the auction.
I'm just a businessman who makes money through business.
It's so unlucky."
He added sugar to the coffee cup, stirred it with a small spoon, and then said, "Fortunately, your father, Mr.
He, is willing to rescue me from this whirlpool and prevent me from getting into trouble."
He made an exaggerated expression.
"I have already bought a plane ticket and will fly to the Mediterranean for vacation tomorrow."
"Then I wish you a happy vacation."
Yu Nian understood that the other party's enthusiasm, or flattery, was not directed at him, but at He Xiao behind him.
"Thank you."
Joseph touched his beard and got to the point, "Then let's take a look at the goods."
"please."
Joseph put the black suitcase on the table very lightly, and said with a beaming expression, "I was very nervous on the way here and worried about bumps.
After all, every millimeter here is worth a wad of banknotes."
Yu Nian didn't answer, but asked, "Where did you buy this thing from?"
"I won't tell you lies, because I know that you can easily find out if you want to."
It is normal for buyers to ask about the origin of things.
Joseph's smile did not diminish, and there was still a bit of pride in his expression, " Bought it cheap from a fool, that person is a loser.
Son, he hangs out in the casino all day long.
Once he won money in gambling, he invited people in the place to drink.
After drinking too much, he opened his mouth and said that there was an heirloom hidden in his house.
His father valued it more than his life, but in his eyes Come on, it’s just a piece of broken bamboo, it’s rotten and messy, nothing new.”
"I paid attention as soon as I heard it.
Later I heard that he owed a large gambling debt, so I went to him to negotiate a deal.
He gave me bamboo slips and I gave him money to help him pay off the debt.
This man is not too stupid.
He knows After bargaining, I added some more money and the deal was done.”
Yu Nian remembered what Sun Ruozhuo said.
The old man of the Sun family thought that the bamboo slips had been burned to ashes in the fire, so he knelt in the ancestral hall for a long time and swore not to eat meat to atone for his sins.
For a moment, he felt a little sad in his heart.
With a "pop" sound, the combination lock opened.
Joseph opened the box, displayed the contents in front of Yu Nian, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm sure you will be satisfied."
Joseph was right.
Every bamboo slip contained in the box was very well preserved.

Even if it was passed down from generation to generation and spanned countless time, there was no major damage.
Scanning his eyes one by one, Yu Nian looked calm and said calmly, "It's definitely authentic."
Joseph hurriedly said, "How dare I deceive you with fake goods, then I'm not looking for death?"
Yu Nian raised the corner of his mouth, half-smiling, and said, "My father invited an appraiser to come over and he's waiting in this restaurant.
Your goods need to be inspected."
Seeing that Joseph didn't look well, Yu Nian took it again.
One sentence, "You bought everything at low prices from fools.
Maybe you will treat me as a fool and sell me fake goods at high prices, right?"
Joseph twirled his beard and looked embarrassed.
Soon, the appraiser came in with instruments and made an appraisal in front of several people.
The result was indeed not a fake, so Yu Nian relaxed and said calmly, "What is your price?"
Joseph showed five fingers.
Yu Nian knew in his heart that Joseph was a pure businessman.
In his eyes, all the added value of the bamboo slips could be converted into corresponding US dollars.
In the same way, the trouble caused by things can certainly be deducted from the corresponding amount.
Picking up the bone china cup, Yu Nian took a slow sip of coffee, his expression showing no urgency at all.
When Joseph's eyes became a little anxious, he asked, "It's hard to sell this thing now, and you don't want it to fall into your hands and you won't be able to get rid of it for ten or twenty years."
Joseph also calmed his expression and said with determination, "You and I both know very well that this thing is of immeasurable value to you and your country.
Fifty million US dollars is not a high price."
Yu Young smiled, the corners of his lips were no more than two degrees apart, and his brows were even more overbearing.
He tapped his fingers on the table twice, and he said slowly, "Then you should also understand the truth.
One thing The more immeasurable and significant the value, the greater the trouble and the more difficult it will be to solve.
Of course, you should have a deeper understanding of this issue than I do.”
Joseph said nothing.
Yu Nian picked up the coffee again and took a sip, "Am I right?"
Putting down the bone china cup, Yu Nian continued, "If you can't sell this thing, it will be like a knife hanging above your head.
I guess your enjoyment of the vacation will be compromised."
Joseph rubbed the handle of the cup with his fingers and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this attitude, the expression on Yu Nian's face became obviously cold, "Since you have no intention of making this deal, then I just came to enjoy the scenery here."
After saying that, he and Xie You stood up directly.
Joseph raised his head and spoke faster, "Your price is" Yu Nian said a number, "Fifteen million."
"Too little" Joseph squeezed the small spoon, "impossible" Yu Nian looked directly at Joseph from top to bottom, and said softly, "You can't be too greedy, right?
You want to throw away the trouble, and you want to stuff a lot of money into your pocket.
This is impossible."
After being silent for a long time, Joseph's nose twitched slightly, "Now the knot" "Of course, if you give me the stuff, the money will be yours."
After sitting quietly for a while, Joseph put his hands on his thighs and pushed out the wrinkles of his pressed trousers before speaking.
His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Deal, I must get the money right away."
Yu Nian turned around, his tone unchanged, "Deal, happy cooperation."
After coming out of the floating restaurant carrying the password box, Xie You opened the big umbrella, and Yu Nian held the box in his arms dearly, the smile on his lips never leaving.
Holding the person in his arms to avoid the puddles, Xie You couldn't help but kiss the tail of Yu Nian's eyes under the umbrella, "Nian Nian, don't just focus on being happy, walk well."
With a sparkling look in his eyes, Yu Nian responded, "Okay."
He added, "If I fall, the things in the box will be hit."
Xie You had no choice but to hold the person in his arms and protect him.
At the same time, another post floated to the homepage in the domestic forum.
"Someone found out on Weibo that Yu Nian's father is Yu Zhusheng, please be kind to me."

"I just want to say is it interesting?
This topic has been discussed for 180 years, and I am tired of it."
"Damn it, Yu Zhusheng is one of the top three richest people in Hong Kong City.
Is it true?
And I remember that Yu Zhusheng had an older wife who gave birth to four children.
He also had an illegitimate daughter who had no name or status outside.
Then What is the situation like this in Yu Nian?
Is it because the illegitimate son of the Yu family who is not prepared to recognize his identity is competing for property?"
"Does anyone upstairs have any idea that a girl from a prominent family like the Qingshan Yu family would be interested in a married man like Yu Zhusheng?"
"If it is really revealed that Yu Nian is a disgusting illegitimate child, all his fans will probably go crazy.
It doesn't matter if they like to hear about his talent and looks.
It's not just as disgusting."
"Are the anti-fans so mindless?
If you catch them, you will just make a random blacklist or say that the marketing account is also competing for performance.
The topic of parents is like a wheel of black and black.
Can you come up with some new ideas and quickly take away Nian Nian?"
On the other side, after getting into the car, Yu Nian put the box on his lap.
When he heard the ringtone of his cell phone, he pressed the answer button.
"Sister Rourou" calculated the time in his mind.
It should be eight o'clock in the morning in China, so he said in a good mood.
Say good morning.
Shi Rou said anxiously, "Niannian, are you free now?"
Yu Nian heard that her tone was wrong, "I'm free, what's the matter?"
"Some time ago, didn't speculation about your parents appear at the bottom of major forums and hot search lists from time to time?
Later, when you appeared on Lin Sha's show, in order to increase the popularity of the show, Lin Sha did not give any warning at all and beat around the bush. to ask you relevant questions.”
Yu Nian remembers, "Well, it's Double Ninth Festival."
"Yes."
Shi Rou spoke quickly, "It's about the Double Ninth Festival issue.
Didn't you mention on the show every year that your father is in poor health recently?
Netizens are so powerful that they just revealed your father's identity.
I found out that your father is currently living in Yangyi Nursing Home in Hong Kong City."
Yu Nian couldn't laugh or cry, "Who do they think my father is?"
"Yu Zhusheng" Yu Nian was not familiar with this name, so he turned around and asked Xie You, "Who is Yu Zhusheng?"
Xie You answered succinctly, "The chairman of Huihuang Group is fifty-eight years old and has four children.
A month ago, he suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
The four children and an illegitimate daughter are fighting for the family property."
Shi Rou over there also heard the conversation between Yu Nian and Xie You, and quickly reacted, "So, Nian Nian, your father is not Yu Zhusheng, right?"
Yu Nian smiled and said, "Really not, I don't even know him."
"Ah, I'm scared to death," Shi Rou said happily, but also felt embarrassed and frustrated, "I didn't believe it at first, but after reading the posts on the Internet about my life experience, they all spoke clearly and truthfully.
The more I read, the more real it became.
I was so scared that I stopped talking.
I hung up the phone.
You will pretend you never received this call every year.”
"Wait a minute," Yu Nian stopped Shi Rou and asked curiously, "What do you say on the Internet, even Sister Rourou believes it?"
"First of all, let's list the evidence, saying that Yu Zhusheng worked in Ningcheng for two years when he was young, and he is exactly the same age as you every year.

This Yu Zhusheng is a mixed race from five countries, handsome in appearance, and most likely good-looking people.
Then there are one or two similarities, and some people said that your faces are similar, and I can’t remember some of them, but they make sense and are particularly confusing.”
Shi Rou couldn't help but said, "I woke up early in the morning, and my mind was a little dazed from sleep.
After reading the information I compiled, I was very anxious.
I didn't think much about it, so I called you first.
It's really embarrassing.
If Brother Meng knew about it, he might be laughed at."
"Well, don't worry, I won't tell Brother Meng."
Yu Nian thought for a moment, "But please, Sister Rourou, please tell Brother Meng to calm down the heat of this topic."
Shi Rou didn't ask any more questions and said quickly, "Okay."
Returning to his place of residence, Yu Nian first carefully put away the black password box with the bamboo slips, and then took out the paper with a bunch of messy musical notes written on it.
He stared at the two things for a while, and couldn't help but turn around and put his arms around Xie.
You stretched your neck, bent your eyes and smiled, "I'm really happy."
Xie You patted Yu Nian's lower back twice, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he hugged Yu Nian directly according to his posture.
Startled by Xie You's sudden movement, Yu Nian wrapped his legs around the other person's waist consciously.
He said with a smile, "I'm about to fall off," and let the other person hold him and sit on the sofa.
Leaning in Xie You's arms, Yu Nian lowered his head and fiddled with Xie You's fingers, counting them one by one in order, "Picture of Rivers and Mountains with Rain, Fishtail Vase with Landscape Patterns, Vase with Clouds and Floating Pines and Cranes, and Jade Bottle with Singing Birds on Branches." , a picture of a drunken horse riding in spring, a post about insomnia, a manuscript for praying for heaven's virtue, a portrait of Changfang Zun, and a bamboo slip of the national document, nine pieces, not one missing. " Holding Xie You's finger, he was silent for a few seconds.
Yu Nian raised his eyelashes, and emotions that he couldn't understand filled his heart.
After a while, he said, "Xie You, I got them all back."
As he spoke, he blinked several times in an attempt to suppress the sour feeling that came up.
Xie You hugged the person, came closer and kissed Yu Nian's eyelids gently, and said gently, "Well, we are very good every year, and it's not easy."
He then coaxed awkwardly, "Be good."
Yu Nian was holding on to his emotions, but when he heard Xie You's last words, he couldn't help but bury his face on the side of Xie You's neck, rubbed it gently, and said in a dull voice, "I've got everything back.
Everything on the list is good, but neither grandpa nor grandma can see it
.
"
He held the material of Xie You's windbreaker in his hands, and suddenly a sense of loss and inexplicable sadness surged in his heart.
Compared with these so-called dead things, human life is just a blink of a thousand years.
He remembered again that his grandfather was sitting in the study, slowly unfolding a scroll, looking at the ink on it, and said slowly, "Every year, look, hundreds of years later, this painting is still the same as before, with iron paintings and silver hooks." , magnificent.
I, you, and countless others are all reduced to bones.
Isn’t it sad to think so?”
At that time, he was not much taller than the desk, so he didn't understand what he heard, but he felt a little sad, so he nodded.
Grandpa touched his head and said gently, "But then I thought about it, these things, whether they are porcelain, bronze, or writing, calligraphy and painting, were all created by us people, aren't we very proud?"
He scratched the edge of the table and nodded seriously, "Yes."
"So what we try our best to protect and preserve is our civilization, inheritance and history.
Although I have only lived for a hundred years, our race has survived through the ages.
Compared with the eternal heaven, earth, sun and moon, human beings are too insignificant.
Human life is It is too fragile and short-lived, but the fire of civilization will not be extinguished and the continuation of life will not be extinguished, so I will survive forever.”
"Grandpa, I don't understand."
"We are still young every year.
It doesn't matter if we don't understand.
We will understand gradually in the future."
Yu Nian leaned in Xie You's arms and looked at the password box placed safely on the table.
Suddenly, he felt that he understood a little more. gd1806102:
