Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps
Chapter 473 Wrong
After handing in the answer, Xiao Benzi couldn't even stand still. He staggered back to his seat with frivolous steps, his face was pale and he said nothing.
His two companions also had bad looks on their faces. It was very difficult to identify an ancient book that had no beginning or end, just by thinking about it with your toes.
Now they can only place their hopes on Yuanni, hoping that she will be completely wrong, so that the two sides will still be tied.
"Everyone has handed in their answers, and then we will announce it. The first one to announce this time is the answer of classmate Yuanni. She wrote about the remaining leaves of the Sassoonian Codex of the Hebrew Bible in 900 AD."
"No, this is impossible. You cannot understand Hebrew. Are you cheating?" The three foreigners shook their heads together, expressing disbelief.
The Bible fragments they brought out were different from ordinary Bibles.
There are many versions of the Bible circulating in the world. In the past, the Sun Never Sets Empire sent missionaries to the Dragon Kingdom, so the Bibles introduced to the Dragon Kingdom were all written in English.
The fragments of the Bible that the three people took out were written in Hebrew. This language is a rare and small language. Few people even in the West can understand it, let alone in the Dragon Kingdom.
Based on the inability to read, how can Yuan Ni deduce the correct answer?
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence, and don't use your own IQ to measure others. Why would I dare to bet against you?
It’s because there are capable people in our Dragon Kingdom, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. If you are not good enough and have to go up the pole to give away money, you can only blame yourselves.
If you lose, you lose. Leave your things behind and leave. Don't act like you can't win and you can't afford to lose. Is this the competitive spirit you talk about? Then I can't accept it anymore. "
Qi Xiangyang finally started the long-winded mocking mode.
"Mr. John, please don't say this again, it will damage our friendship.
The game is not over yet. If you don’t have evidence, then let’s move on to the next step, right? "The notary officials couldn't sit still.
The notebook gritted its teeth and said, "Read my answer."
Xiao Benzi felt that the general direction of his assessment was correct. Unless the other party could bring out the book to which the broken pages belonged, he would never admit defeat.
"Okay, let's continue reading. The answer written by Mr. Sato is the astrology book of the Ming Dynasty.
Let's take a look at the correct answer again. The correct answer is part of the 1327th volume of the Yongle Dadian. "
As soon as the notary cadre finished speaking, someone on the scene shouted, "Yongle Dadian? Is it the original of Yongle Dadian?"
"How is it possible that the original is still there? It must be a copy."
"Hey, be good, a copy is fine, let's take a look."
In an instant, there was a lot of excitement around Yuanni, and everyone came over to see the remaining chapters of the Yongle Ceremony.
At this moment, Sato, the little notebook, slapped the table and said angrily, "Don't think that I don't understand the culture of the Dragon Kingdom. This article is written from beginning to end. Why do you call it the Yongle Grand Ceremony?"
"Of course I have evidence. These fragments are the beginning of the book and just follow the end of the previous book." It's time to take out the treasure at the bottom of the box.
Yuan Ni opened the box and took out the original copy of the Yongle Grand Ceremony that had been prepared long ago. "You can send a representative to look at the original copy, but you are not allowed to touch it."
"why?"
"The bet is over. The Yongle Grand Ceremony is a national treasure. I will not let outsiders touch it with dirty hands."
These few words Yuan Ni said were sonorous and powerful, and a group of Chinese people led by Qi Xiangyang immediately became excited and joined in with them.
The notebook frowned, "You turn the pages and I'll take a look."
There is an unwritten rule in the antique circle. Unless it is bought or sold, particularly precious treasures will not be handed over to others. This is to prevent the other party from going crazy and destroying the treasures.
Yuan Ni'er was worried that Xiao Benzi would lose his temper. What if he took advantage of the opportunity to watch the Yongle Ceremony and tore this treasure book into pieces?
Qi Xiangyang thought so too. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll turn the pages and find two more people to protect the book."
Up to this time, everyone, including Qi Xiangyang, thought Yuanni was holding a copy.
When they actually saw this strange book, everyone's eyes were opened. It turned out to be the original?
Xiao Benzi was also shocked. His hands were trembling and he couldn't help but reach out to touch. However, Dr. Hou slapped him back, "You can only look at it, but you are not allowed to touch it."
Due to time constraints, it was impossible for everyone to read the entire book with the little book, so they only showed him the last few pages. The content of the last few pages happened to coincide with the remaining pages.
After reading the small book, I was stunned. After a long time, I took a step back and bowed deeply to the Yongle ceremony.
Regardless of nationality, as a senior antique collector, I must bow my head to see such a treasure as the Yongle Dadian in my lifetime.
Seeing that the little book had no objections, the two companions sighed in unison, which meant that there was no hope, and the outcome of the bet was determined.
The yellow-haired foreigner took the initiative to walk up to Yuan Ni and said, "The Sassoon Codex of the Hebrew Bible is in my collection."
Dr. Hou stopped him vigilantly, "What do you mean your collection? It's ours now."
“I know, listen to me, I admit that you have won, and these pages of the Bible are yours.
I would like to discuss it with you and exchange it for the Bible with other items from the collection. Do you think that's okay? "
The Bible is a religious book and has extraordinary significance to them.
Yuanni thought for a while, "What do you want to exchange for it?"
"Is Mr. Zheng Banqiao's painting okay?"
Everyone looked surprised. This kind of painting is also a treasure in the domestic collection circle.
But Yuanni did not agree, “Zheng Banqiao’s original works are indeed precious, but they cannot be compared with the Bible.
As far as I know, there is only one copy of the Sassoon Codex Bible in the world. You must have other incomplete manuscripts in your hands. You have to put them together to make it a unique Bible in the world.
If you don't get these few remaining pages, the manuscript in your hand will be incomplete. Am I right? "
The yellow-haired foreigner was surprised. You must know that Sassoon's manuscript is not easy to obtain. No customs will allow such a precious cultural relic to be leaked out.
He used unconventional means to get the Sassoon manuscript back to his country.
At present, the Sassoon manuscripts in his hands are all fragments and have not been put together. If these pages are missing, it will not be a complete Bible and its value will be greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, the yellow-haired foreigner regretted even more. If he had known this, why would he bother with this antique shop?
I didn't get any advantage, but got bitten off large pieces of meat by the other party.
"Two paintings by Zheng Banqiao, plus two calligraphy paintings by Song Huizong."
"make a deal."
The calligraphy and paintings of these two celebrities are also very precious. The yellow-haired foreigner did not carry them with him. Seeing that Yuanni agreed to the exchange terms, he handed the safe key to his companion and asked him to go back and get the treasure.
He himself stayed to guard it, not daring to take even one step away from the fragment.
Yuan Ni could understand the other party's mood. Since the price was agreed upon, there was no need to tamper with the fragment. She motioned to Qi Xiangyang to put the fragment on the table, "Let's all watch it together."
The yellow-haired foreigner didn't expect Yuan Ni to be so upright, so he smiled sheepishly, "I thought it was a good idea to gamble with the remaining chapters, but I didn't expect that you guessed it right."
This game was also a coincidence. Both sides thought of using the remaining manuscripts of the books to bet, which greatly increased the difficulty of the bet.
Seeing that Yuanni smiled slightly and was not disgusted by what she said, the yellow-haired foreigner kept asking another question,
"Your identification skills are very good. I would like to ask you, how did you tell that it was the Sassoon Bible without understanding Hebrew?"
