Chapter 149 Rare Manuscripts
The middle-aged man glanced at the doghouse and said lightly, "The doghouse costs five hundred yuan."
Xu Youyou frowned and looked at him.
The middle-aged man said with confidence: "This wooden box was my mother's dowry back then, and it was very valuable."
The middle-aged man actually can't remember whether this box is a dowry, but it doesn't prevent him from using this statement to increase his value.
"No matter how valuable it used to be, it is now a doghouse." Xu Youyou said.
The middle-aged man nodded: "If it weren't for using it as a doghouse, I wouldn't sell it for 500 yuan, so someone would definitely be willing to buy such old wood."
He felt that his words were justified and well-founded.
Xu Youyou said, "If you want to do this business, I won't even buy a dog, and I haven't paid any money anyway."
The middle-aged man was directly caught in his lifeline and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm at a loss, buy a dog and get a dog kennel."
The farewell between the little black dog and the old man was coming to an end. He followed Xu Youyou step by step, but his eyes were always full of reluctance to look at the old books in the room.
"Wang Wang! These old books are all the things that the owner loves. I don't know what to do with this big bad guy..." said the little black dog.
Xu Youyou touched its head, turned around and said to the middle-aged man, "I want all the old books in this room, five hundred yuan."
The middle-aged man had just collected 1,000 yuan and saw that there was still business to do, he immediately said, "Ten thousand."
Xu Youyou: "Forget it."
The middle-aged man quickly tried to keep him: "You little girl, you are not old, but you are too good at bargaining. So many books can be sold to scrap collectors, which is probably worth thousands of dollars. You are too ruthless."
"Okay, that's one thousand. I won't want it if there are more." Xu Youyou said.
For her, these old books are only for the sake of the little black dog's thoughts. She really disliked this person's insatiable attitude.
"Okay, one thousand is one thousand, I'm at a loss." said the middle-aged man.
Xu Youyou paid the money, and Xu Fang suddenly took out a piece of paper behind her, wrote a few words, and handed it over to the middle-aged man for signature.
"Oh, you rich people are really particular about doing things, and you need someone to sign something for selling something." The middle-aged man sighed.
Xu Fang took out a transaction contract. Xu Youyou likes to buy some seemingly messy things. Almost every time the transaction is completed, the seller will send a receipt.
Xu Fang realized that Xu Youyou seemed to care about whether the property rights were clear, so she printed such a transaction certificate in advance. When encountering a temporary transaction, as long as you fill in the name and price of the item, you will soon get a piece of paper proof.
Xu Youyou glanced at Xu Fang with praise, and thought that the matter of paying Xu Fang for the next year was put on the agenda.
Xu Fang had never been an assistant before, but now she has a high salary. Xu Fang's progress is particularly obvious, and Xu Youyou is a little inseparable from her.
The old books in the room were sorted out by the bodyguards and sent to the car. The doghouse was carefully carried into the trunk. In order to hold so many things, Xu Youyou also temporarily hired a truck to help.
On the way back to the villa, Xu Youyou called Mrs. Li to tell Mrs. Li about the situation of the little black dog.
As soon as the old lady saw the puppy, her eyes immediately turned red: "What a good child, its owner is also thinking about him. If she hadn't noticed that she could not continue to take care of it, how could she bear to leave the child behind closed doors?"
Xu Youyou and Old Lady Li had the same idea. Even though everyone said that the owner of the little black dog was crazy, she still felt that the other party really loved the little black dog. "From the time to get here, I will go and play with other children for a while just like I'm back home?" Old Mrs. Li advised the little black dog with a gentle expression.
It was rare that he did not compete with other puppies for favor. He gently arched the little black dog on the side, but the little black dog was still in a state of energy and was still staring blankly at the book box that was being unloaded from the truck.
Xu Youyou simply asked it to watch the workers unload the goods. She turned to look at the wooden box doghouse and gently took out the quilt inside.
Old Mrs. Li took it over and said, "This quilt is clean, I'll just take it out and dry it."
Xu Youyou nodded, turned around, looked at the things in the wooden box, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
She thought the treasures in the wooden box might be hidden in the mezzanine, but she didn't expect to just sit under the box and hide it with just a puppy bedding.
It was like its original owner, who planned to give this thing to the puppy's new owner.
This time, the baby was a small box, about three centimeters tall. The wooden box was not locked, but was locked with a latch. Xu Youyou took off the latch, opened the box, and exposed the things inside.
At the top is a note as big as a palm, and below is a thick stack of manuscripts.
The note reads: "I was confused for a long time. My wife died early and my children and grandchildren were not destined to be with me. I was fortunate to be with a black dog in my later years. I gave me the treasure for my life, but I hope that the black dog will be free from worries and disasters."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
His handwriting was handsome and neat. Through the paper, Xu Youyou vaguely felt the look of Mr. Zhang's expectation when he wrote these words.
She carefully put the notes away and turned to the manuscripts.
Although the manuscript paper is a bit old, it is well preserved. Obviously, the original owner cherishes these them very much.
After Xu Youyou put on gloves, she reached out to grab one of them.
She only glanced at her twice and her breathing became rapid.
"The last forty episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions"!"
Xu Youyou never expected that the precious items left by Mr. Zhang and the system-instructed target of picking up the bargain were actually the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions".
She instantly outlined the old man's life in her mind. The first half of her life was an intellectual, with a twists and turns in middle age, and the second half of her life was lucky to be rehabilitated. But she was half crazy and was kicked out of the house by her son. She lived a very poor life. She occasionally woke up and was thinking about how to place the little black dog.
The old man could have taken out this manuscript. There would definitely be a fan of the Redology School who would be willing to pay a sky-high price, but he did not take it out for a transaction, but kept it carefully, just to find the owner who truly loves it for the little black dog.
Xu Youyou has obtained many sky-high treasures, but they all feel that they are not as good as this manuscript.
She didn't study the market-distributed version of Dream of the Red Chamber until she went to college. She was busy working part-time at that time and almost took a break from her busy schedule to save some time reading books.
Even so, she would still admire the exquisite story, and still notice the separation of Gao E's continuation, and felt even more regretful that she could not see the whole story.
The paper was fragile, and Xu Youyou didn't dare to touch it too much. After carefully placing it on the sofa, he took out his cell phone and took photos one by one, and immediately put them all away.
She didn't know if these manuscripts were originals, but even in copybooks, she was reluctant to get any damage.
After carefully putting a box of manuscripts in hand, she almost couldn't wait to start reading the manuscript.
