Ning turned around and smiled at her, continued to pull the gold and silver jewelry aside, and took a few night pearls and put them in his arms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After moving the wooden floor out of a path that could accommodate his feet, Ning fell to his knees and groped for the ground with his hands.

Chu Yuning hurriedly took a closer look, only to see that the wooden floor was covered with seemingly repeated and disorderly lines.

Ning groped between the lines, and then his eyes lit up.

She fumbled her hand for a protruding piece on the floor and spun it in a slight circle.

There was a "squeak", and a crack suddenly appeared in the wooden floor.

A smile appeared on Ning's face, "Uncle is very clever and very human, who would have thought that he would hide his silver money in such a place." ”

Chu Yuning nodded, hiding money in this place, it must have taken a lot of trouble at the beginning.

"County Lord, please help me lift this plank." Ning raised one end of the plank and looked at Chu Yu Ningdao.

Chu Yuning nodded, holding the other side of the plank with both hands.

Together, the two of them lifted the plank, set it aside, and lifted the second plank as they did.

There was a crack in the ground just big enough for one person to pass through.

Ning took the first step and went down to the slit.

Chu Yuning followed closely.

After walking down about a foot or two, the space suddenly opened up.

Ning took out the Night Pearl from Xiu and lit up in front of him.

It was a one-foot room.

It was filled with sturdy mahogany chests.

Ning took Chu Yuning's hand and approached a peachwood box, and the key assembled by the jade pendant opened it, and a piece of golden light poured out of the box.

Rows and rows of gold bars were neatly arranged in the box.

It is very different from the gold ingots minted in the official silver of the Dayi Dynasty.

Chu Yuning looked around the room.

There are ten boxes like this in the room.

This box of gold weighed about 20,000 taels.

This room alone was hidden by Uncle Zhongyi for 200,000 taels of gold!

Converted into silver, it is two million taels.

It is worth half of the annual treasury income of the Dayi Dynasty!

According to the price of the Dayi Dynasty, one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, enough for a soldier to eat for a year.

The gold in this room is enough for 100,000 soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Army to eat for 20 years!

And his hard work over the years has only raised 50,000 stone grain and about 500,000 taels of silver for King Yong'an.

"The gold in this room is specially saved by the uncle for the princess over the years." Princess Ning closed the box, turned around, and said to Chu Yuning with a smile: "Today, Uncle ordered me to bring the county lord here, so that the county lord has a number in his heart first, and then he will want to transport this batch of gold to the northern Xinjiang." ”

Chu Yuning looked at Ning, "Aunt......"

Zhongyi Bo only has Su Yueming's son, and Su Yueming's knees, now there is only one son-in-law of Brother Hao, in the future, most of the wealth of Zhongyi Bo's Mansion will fall to Brother Hao'er, Ning watched this money, and was given to Su Wanniang by Zhongyibo, but he was able to reveal the news from the bottom of his heart, as far as her mind was concerned, Chu Yuning really felt that she was too wronged to marry Su Yueming.

"The county lord doesn't need to say much. If this gold falls into your uncle's hands, it will only bring great disaster to the Zhongyi Uncle's mansion. Brother Hao is only nine years old now, and I still hope that he will grow up healthy, marry a daughter-in-law, give me a few grandchildren, and make fun of my grandchildren, and take care of my children! Ning looked at Chu Yuning with a look of longing and sincerity.

Chu Yuning pursed her lips, "Brother Hao is smart and smart, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future!" ”

Ning looked at Chu Yuning and smiled, "I borrowed the auspicious words of the county lord!" Which one is a mother! The happiest thing is that my child is praised! ”

Chu Yuning also laughed along with Ning.

After counting the gold in the room, the two walked down the tunnel back to the rockery.

Ning looked at the jewels facing in the rockery, and said to Chu Yuning: "King Ning ignored the danger last night and risked breaking with the eldest princess of Changning and Emperor Xilong to save you. Uncle thought that he couldn't help but express himself. Thinking about it, I gave the jewels in this rockery to the prince in the name of congratulating Mrs. Xinwu Hou on her birthday, and expressed my gratitude. ”

Chu Yuning looked at the various colors of gold and silver jewelry that were shining all over the rockery space, and there was a long string of night pearls alone, more than a dozen, estimated at more than 10,000 taels of silver. And that's not counting anything else.

She looked at Ning, "Is this gift too valuable?" ”

"In Uncle's opinion, if you want to have a good relationship with Ning Wangfu, it is not expensive."

Good karma?

Chu Yuning frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ning Shi showed a meaningful smile at her, "Uncle is a woman who doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, but she doesn't know so much, the county lord might as well treat his uncle and ask him in person." ”

Chu Yuning nodded, and didn't ask more. The two walked out of the rockery together, and instructed the confidant steward assigned by Zhongyibo to personally move the jewelry in the rockery, pack it, and transport it to the guest house where Chu Yuning was resting.

When he walked out of this secluded and secluded courtyard, but he could see that it was carefully cared for, Ning looked at Chu Yuning with a smile, "The county lord probably doesn't know yet, right?" This compound was where your grandmother used to live. ”

Grandmother? So why is the location so remote?

Seeing the look of doubt in Chu Yu's eyes, Ning smiled at her, with sadness in his eyes.

"I also took over the middle feed of the house, and I only learned from the ears of the Su steward next to the uncle that the main courtyard in the house was only here, and since the death of the first uncle's wife, the uncle sealed this courtyard, built another courtyard in the house, and married his mother-in-law."

"It is said that in this courtyard, before you and me, no master in the mansion has ever set foot except for the uncle and the princess."

Chu Yuning was silent.

Uncle Zhongyi sealed the place where his grandmother lived before her death, and let people take care of it every day, as if it was inhabited, and it was like a day for decades, maybe in the previous years, it was just to see things and think about people, and then it became a habit? Or maybe he never forgot his grandmother?

And the reason why he hid a large amount of silver in it was probably to tell his grandmother that he had not treated their daughter badly no matter what, right?

But is there really no mistreatment?

Chu Yuning didn't know how her mother spent her time in the boudoir. There is no shortage of food and clothing, but what about the rest?

According to Su Chenniang's delicate and domineering temper and Su Yueming's reckless and stupid temperament, coupled with the fact that Mu Shi has always looked at his mother unpleasantly, he is afraid that his mother will suffer from the three of them in the boudoir.

What's more, later, Su Chenniang did such a heart-wrenching thing.

However, can all this that the mother has suffered be compensated for by money?

Chu Yuning walked back with a complicated heart.

Ning glanced at the look on her face, probably guessed what was going on, sighed softly in his heart, and the two walked back without a word.

In the afternoon, Steward Su packed the jewelry and sent it to the far away where Chu Yu was condensing.

Chu Yuning decided to wait until she had talked to Zhongyi Bo and asked what the "good fate" in the Ning Clan in the air meant, and then decided how much of these jewels she would give away.
