There was obvious confusion in Zhao Gangyan's voice.
Zhao Yasi looked at the box in her hand and answered firmly.
"Someone recommended it to me and said it might be very valuable."
Zhao Gangyan immediately asked: "Did a young man recommend it?"
Seeing the other party nodding, Zhao Gangyan's face became more serious, and he shook his head with some disappointment.
"YELTS, why are you so confused? This is five million again! Why do you trust a stranger so easily?"
Zhao Yasi felt a little aggrieved, but still tried to defend.
"Dad, Mr. Xiao helped me at the auction. His vision is very accurate."
Zhao Gangyan disagreed, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"How can he be trusted? Young people are easily deceived. You must have been deceived this time. Five million is not a small amount."
Zhao Yasi's heart became heavy. She looked at the small box on the table, filled with uneasiness.
She stood there, a little at a loss. Looking at her father's increasingly stern expression, she felt the pressure in her heart growing.
Zhao Gangyan sighed deeply, with a hint of disappointment and worry in his tone: "Do you know how to open this box? I just hope there is something inside that can bring us back some blood."
Zhao Yasi replied softly.
"Actually, the box has already been opened."
Her words made Zhao Gangyan raise his eyebrows, and the anger and dissatisfaction on his face were instantly replaced by curiosity.
He quickly approached Zhao Yasi, staring at the small box in her hand.
"Really? What's in there?"
Zhao Yasi gently opened the box and showed it to her father.
Lying inside was an ancient piece of parchment, which looked very old, but was quite well preserved.
She carefully took out the document and unfolded it for her father to see.
Zhao Gangyan's eyes were fixed on the parchment, and his expression gradually changed from suspicion to surprise, even with a hint of excitement.
"This box has never been opened?"
Zhao Yasi shook her head slightly, responding to her father's doubts.
"The box has never been opened. Mr. Xiao opened it for me. He said there were precious things inside."
"But he didn't look at what was inside and asked me to take it home and open it carefully."
When Zhao Gangyan heard this, he raised his brows slightly, looking a little surprised.
"He asked you to buy such an expensive thing without even looking at it?"
Zhao Yasi nodded, with a trace of confusion and expectation in his eyes.
"Yeah, he seemed pretty sure of the box's value."
Zhao Gangyan stopped talking. He carefully picked up the parchment and studied it carefully.
After some observation, a look of recognition appeared on his face.
"This parchment seems to be from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The paper, handwriting, and creases..."
Hearing her father's comments, Zhao Yasi's face flashed with surprise and relief.
The weight in her heart seemed to lighten a little, and the spark of hope rekindled in her eyes.
Zhao Gangyan continued to examine the parchment, and gradually his expression became more and more serious.
He said softly: "If this is really an item from the Eastern Han Dynasty, its historical and academic value are very high."
"It seems that this investment may be really worth the money."
The doubts on Zhao Yasi's face deepened.
"Is this parchment really suitable as a gift for grandma?"
Zhao Gangyan studied the parchment in his hand attentively and said softly.
"We need to see what's written on it first."
He unfolded the parchment carefully, followed every handwriting with his eyes, and began to read the words slowly in his mouth.
"'The land that is not Huainan and Wei Wu is not worthy of a world war...'"
"I seem to have heard these words somewhere."
A hint of understanding flashed in Zhao Yasi's eyes, and she quickly added.
"Dad, isn't this what Longzhong said? This is the famous strategic dialogue between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei."
A trace of surprise and excitement flashed in Zhao Gangyan's eyes. He carefully continued to read the contents on the parchment, nodding as he read.
"Yes, this is exactly what Longzhong said."
"Zhuge Liang's strategic layout for the Central Plains..."
A look of shock and disbelief flashed across Zhao Gangyan's face.
He stared at the parchment in his hand, as if thinking about something important.
"If this is really Long Zhong's original manuscript, then this discovery is so important!"
Zhao Gangyan's voice was full of excitement and surprise.
He flipped through the parchment carefully, and every word seemed extremely precious.
Looking at her father's expression, Zhao Yasi felt an indescribable tension in her heart.
"But dad, the authenticity of the Longzhong pair has always been controversial. How can we be sure that this is the authentic work?"
Zhao Gangyan was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.
"You're right. The authenticity of Long Zhong's pair has always been a big issue in academia."
"Even if the document appears to be very old, we cannot immediately conclude that it is the original."
His eyes fell on the parchment again.
"However, the value of this document cannot be underestimated, and experts are needed to identify its authenticity."
"If this is really Long Zhong's original manuscript, its value will be far more than five million."
When Zhao Yasi saw her father so excited and excited, a warm feeling emerged in her heart.
She realized that this discovery was far more valuable to her father than any material gift.
She said to Zhao Gangyan with a smile.
"Dad, it's better for you to handle this parchment. I think I have to pick another gift for grandma."
Zhao Gangyan looked at his daughter, with a hint of gratitude and apology in his eyes.
"YELTS, dad didn't mean to say anything to you just now, I..."
Zhao Yasi waved her hand gently and interrupted him.
"Dad, it's okay."
She gently placed the parchment in her father's hands, then turned to leave.
There was a trace of pride in Zhao Gangyan's eyes. Looking at his daughter's back, he was filled with excitement.
Then when he saw Zhao Gangyan, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Hello, Professor Li? It's me, Zhao Gangyan. I have a big discovery here, you must come and see it!"
There was excitement and showiness in his voice.
"come to my home!"
Zhao Gangyan said boastfully to Professor Li on the phone.
"Oh, you will be surprised! But I can't tell you yet. Come and see for yourself."
There was an irrepressible excitement in his voice.
Professor Li on the other end of the phone seemed a little curious, perhaps attracted by Zhao Gangyan's mysterious attitude.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
Zhao Yasi heard her father's conversation at the door and looked at his excited and expectant look. She couldn't help but smile. Recalling Xiao Ye's help, she was filled with gratitude and decided to find an opportunity to thank him.
Zhao Yasi had not seen her father so happy for a long time. He was always so serious.
