Lin Xian had no intention of posturing.
However, although the cultural relics he brought were not old, they had extraordinary significance. They could almost subvert half of the Dragon Country's cultural circle!
Especially the Redology School, which could basically be overturned.
How, when, and whether to announce such a thing required careful deliberation from the relevant departments.
Therefore…
Lin Xian didn't want the receptionist to see it for her own good.
And this receptionist.
He wasn't very interested in it, so he was just doing a routine registration.
However, after Lin Xian said that…
She was even more curious.
She was a volunteer from the nearby Imperial University. She majored in cultural relics and archaeology and had professional appreciation of cultural relics.
She raised her head to look at the wooden box. It was exquisitely carved with dragon patterns. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a box that only wealthy families could use in ancient times.
Looking at the style, it should be tomorrow night at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
It was obvious at a glance that the wood was not an imitation, but had been dug out from the ground!
"Sir, your wooden box…I think it should be a jewelry box from a wealthy family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.”
Lin Xian smiled and said,"
"You guessed the era correctly, but it's not jewelry inside, it's literature.”
The receptionist's eyes immediately widened when she heard the word literature!
Heavens!
Literature!
Among all the archaeological relics, the most valuable thing was the literature!
Literature was different from bronze ware and ornaments. It was generally difficult to preserve them completely.
However, the words in the documents were the ironclad evidence of history!
Most of the time, even after digging up a few burial items, there was no substantial breakthrough.
However, sometimes, a letter could overturn past historical conjectures!
This was also the reason why the three most precious national treasures in the Forbidden City were all calligraphy and paintings!
(Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Tranquil Calligraphy, Plum Magpie Painting)
"Sir! I'll get Director Wu to pick you up immediately!"
The receptionist realized the importance of the matter!
He didn't waste any more time on the phone. He jogged to the second floor and entered Director Wu's office.
30 seconds later.
Director Wu and the receptionist went downstairs in a panic and held Lin Xian's hand warmly."
"Sir, what is your name?"
"My surname is Lin."
"Mister Lin! On behalf of the country, I thank you for your selfless act! Please follow me to my office and we can talk over tea.”
Director Wu gestured for Lin Xian to go upstairs.
Then, he whispered to the receptionist,
"Don't worry about who's looking for me later.”
..............................................................
After arriving at Director Wu's office, Director Wu took out a pot of good tea from under the cabinet and brewed a pot.
"Mr. Lin, you look young, but your spirit is commendable!”
"People nowadays are eager for quick success and instant benefits. They sell precious cultural relics abroad for money. This is a huge loss of our Dragon Country's culture!”
It's easy to sell, but if our museum wants to take it back, it's often ten times the price, but other people won't sell it…"
After the tea was heated, Director Wu sat opposite Lin Xian and poured him a cup.
"Mister Lin, I heard that you brought some documents with you. I wonder…is it an ordinary letter or an imperial edict?”
Lin Xian smiled and shook his head."
"Neither. I brought a novel that has never been published before.”
"The novel is good!"
Director Wu smiled from ear to ear.
"The novel can better reflect the folk customs of the time and is beneficial to historical research. May I ask which dynasty the novel is from?”
"It's from the Qing Dynasty."
"Oh…from the Qing Dynasty…"
Upon hearing that it was from the Qing Dynasty, Director Wu's interest was obviously dampened.
"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, the Qing Dynasty is only 300 years old. Historians have studied it thoroughly, so the value of novels is not that great.”
"But don't worry. With your spirit, I will make an exception and apply for a certificate for you!”
Director Wu was also a straightforward person.
As the director of the National Museum, he had seen many cultural relics. The novels of the Qing Dynasty could only be considered very ordinary cultural relics.
However, this was only for the National Museum.
In the antique market and overseas black markets, the original novels of the Qing Dynasty could be sold for at least two million yuan if they were well preserved!
This young man did not want the two million yuan and came to hand it over. Director Wu admired his spirit!
He picked up the teapot and stood up to add water.
As he added water, he asked,
"Mr. Lin, what's the name of your novel?”
Lin Xian smiled, thinking that he had finally asked the right question.
"'Dream of the Red Chamber'."
Director Wu suddenly straightened his back and turned around in shock.
"Yes, sir! Was it Cao Xueqin's original manuscript? You just said that it has never appeared before…Could it be!!!”
"That's right."
Lin Xian took a sip of tea and said slowly,"
"It's the last 40 chapters of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.”
Clang!
Director Wu's hand trembled.
The purple clay teapot fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
