Chapter 18: Treasure Hunting

Aunt Qiu saw the box fall into their hands, but she couldn't snatch the three fat-headed and big-eared old women, so she said kindly: "Mama Li, look, our yard is notoriously poor and sour, how can there be any good things?" The box in your hand is nothing more than old items, and it's not very valuable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Where is Mama Li willing to believe, look at her for a while and gently persuade her, and decided that there is something good here: "It doesn't matter if you say it, but... If you want me to believe that you can do it, you can open this lock and let me see, and if it is as you say, the box will be returned to you. ”

"That box is a little old, where can I still find the key......" Aunt Qiu said, hoping that this Mama Li would give up.

Who would believe that? Mama Li chuckled and said, "It's okay, you can still open the box without your key, let's go." With that, the three of them were about to leave.

Aunt Qiu stopped outside the door: "Mama Li, you can do well, you can't take this away......"

Before she could continue, Mama Li pushed Aunt Qiu away: "Go aside, what's the use of you begging me?" I came at the behest of the old lady and asked to go to the old lady. ”

Aunt Qiu didn't give up, and was about to step forward to grab it, but Sanniang came over and grabbed her: "Auntie, don't stop it......"

"That's what Madame left, and she said she would leave it to you as a dowry, woo woo... It's good now, let them take it......" Aunt Qiu leaned against the edge of the door and sobbed: "What can I do......"

"Actually......" Sanniang looked at her like this, and really wanted to tell her the truth, so she thought about it for a while and then gave up: "It's okay, the daughter will come back after she disperses, we can't fight them hard in this situation." ”

Aunt Qiu looked at Sanniang suspiciously, how could she hear her say this, she looked like a doll: "You don't know, those things are valuable, woo woo woo ......"

Sanniang knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she watched her cry there. As for the box of things, Sanniang will not hand them over to Aunt Qiu for the time being, and there will be some boiling in the future.

In the next few days, Aunt Qiu didn't think about tea and food, and talked about her box every day. Yesterday, I also went to Songshou Temple, but it didn't turn out to be a nose of ash.

"Auntie, don't be sad, do you have hands that are afraid of not having anything to eat? As far as your embroidery skills are concerned, it can be worth some money to embroider small objects and buy them. "Sanniang is telling the truth, Aunt Qiu's embroidery work has nothing to say. In the past, when they were down, they relied on her craft to eat.

Aunt Qiu had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" After embroidering it, let Zhang Cheng's mother help me take it out and sell it, how much is silver. She said she was about to do it.

"Zhang Cheng? Who is it? "These slaves of the Fu family don't interact with Liufangyuan, and they know that they are masters with no future. As for this Zhang Cheng, Sanniang had never heard Aunt Qiu talk about it before, so she was curious.

"Oh, that child, didn't you say last time that you drew a picture with Miss Wang on the canal river, and finally the boatman came to you and sent it back? Zhang Chengcheng is the gatekeeper who delivers the painting to you. Aunt Qiu said.

Sanniang remembered that the little guy was quite upright: "Then how did you get involved with his mother?" ”

"Wasn't Zhang Cheng sent to do chores? His mother was sick a few days ago, and his little monthly money was far from enough for his mother to treat her illness. I saw him crying at the back door, so I gave him a few taels of silver. Aunt Qiu said casually, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention, and Sanniang, the listener, has taken this matter to heart.

Aunt Qiu asked Sanniang to remind her like this, as if she had found a way to make a fortune, and got a lot of silk thread fabrics to make shoes and clothes. But she still thought about the box, and from time to time she would wander to the old lady, hoping for the whereabouts of the box.

In Songshou Temple, Mama Li was taking the box taken from Liufangyuan to the old lady to ask for credit.

"Old lady, this is what the old slave searched from Liufangyuan, I think Aunt Qiu is very protective of it, it must be a good thing." Mama Li said to Mrs. Fu with a smiling face.

"That Aunt Qiu can annoy people to death, and she comes to my yard to explore two times in three days, and she doesn't know it at all." The old lady glanced at the box: "Open it and see what it is." ”

"Okay," Mama Li said, looking for a hammer to pry open the lock of the box, and was stunned when she opened it.

There are no good things in it, just a few blackened silver hairpins and a pair of gold earrings, all of which were from many years ago. There are also a few rotten yellow calendars under the box, which look strange and disgusting.

Mama Li pursed her lips, no wonder it was so heavy.

Old Lady Fu's face sank: "What are you searching for?" It is said to be precious, but I can't see where it is valuable. ”

"This ...... I think Aunt Qiu is a poor and sour person, such a broken box still fights with me for a long time, cold mixture. Mama Li was disgusted: "The old slave estimated that the one in Liufangyuan had no family background, and he had been doing embroidery work in the past few days." ”

Mrs. Fu also felt reasonable: "If it weren't for wanting to match Sanniang with my grandson, I would have kicked them out a long time ago, and I haven't treated them badly in food, clothing, housing and transportation all these years, and in the end I didn't get anything." ”

"Isn't it" Mama Li also made a look of great approval, but she didn't know what to do with this useless box: "This box... Is it to return it or ......"

"Idiot, what are you going back to doing! Shall I slap myself in the face? The old lady glanced at the box again: "If you take those jewels and sell them, you can exchange them for some silver." ”

Mama Li said: "Yes......"

People often say that 3949 froze pigs and dogs to death, and now these 39 days are really grinding. Aunt Qiu was huddled with her, and she still felt cold with three mattresses on her body.

Sanniang and their lives are struggling these days, and the Fu family doesn't care about them a little, and they haven't given them the monthly money this month. Fortunately, Aunt Qiu did embroidery work a few days ago in exchange for some money, although she could barely survive if she didn't much.

As for Aunt Qiu's belongings at the bottom of the box, Sanniang felt that she had to plan early, so she thought about it and fell asleep......

There was a heavy snowfall in Hewei at night, and it was the first time Sanniang had seen Hewei snow when she was so big, no, it should be the second time.

Sanniang looked at the snow outside the door, sighed at her hand, and walked outside, no one knew that there was a lot of baggage hidden in her heavy overcoat.

She was going to find Zhang Cheng and ask him to help her sneak out of the house.

"Yo, isn't this the third lady?"

Sanniang was walking on the cobblestone path, but bumped into Mama Li and Mrs. Fu's baby "grandson".
