7. Legacy
After looking around for a long time and having no clue, Yun Wei easily picked up a wooden carving ornament on the desk that jumped over the dragon gate and played.
This is Yun Wei's habit in his previous life, when he thinks, he has to play with something in his hand. Yun Wei touched it while thinking about it, and suddenly the wood carving made a "gada" sound, which startled Yun Wei, who was immersed in his thoughts.
The carp ornament opened its mouth to "spit out" a paper roll, Yun Wei unfolded the paper roll suspiciously, and suddenly felt a little weak legs, and was very glad that he was sitting on the chair at this time.
This scroll is none other than an ancient check—a silver ticket! A group of grass and mud horses galloped happily in Yun Wei's head. Nima, the original father and mother are really big!
Listening to the tone of the cheap uncle, in this era when most people have never used silver, only a few people have seen such a tall thing as a silver ticket, but! The original father and mother actually rolled such a big stack for their son as an ornament! This is the real pride!
Yun Wei shook his hand and counted the silver ticket. Don't laugh at the fact that the little citizen of Yunwei has never seen a big scene, but the silver ticket is really fragile, and the thin one is not known to the soft sister coin of later generations. The denominations of silver tickets range from one hundred taels to five hundred taels, which is about two thousand taels.
Yun Wei swallowed hard. Although in later generations, he was accustomed to throwing a few thousand taels of silver tickets and silver ingots at every turn in costume dramas, but in the past few days of this era, Yun Wei learned that the purchasing power of two thousand taels here is definitely stronger than the purchasing power of twenty million in later generations. Of course, there were not as many varied and bizarre things to buy in this era.
Yun Wei hadn't been out before, so he didn't know how much else was priced. If it's just for eating, drinking, and chewing in this countryside, if there is no accident, his grandson will be enough to spend!
So the question is, which excavator technology is stronger...... No, how could the original parents have so much money? Judging from the conversation between Grandpa Nine and Uncle and his wife before, his father and mother came to Grandpa Jiu when they were desperate. Since they are desperate, they must have no family background, so what did the couple do to save two thousand taels of silver in less than twenty years?
Yun Wei did not have a specific understanding of how much a farmer earned in a year. But after listening to the words of Uncle Niang and Yun Rong, he knew that it was difficult for an ordinary peasant family to support a scholar. However, the original father and mother not only raised their son to be a showman, but also had the spare money to save the silver ticket!
Also, the original father and mother have such financial resources and can live a better life, why do they pretend to be a small peasant family with a small income? If nothing else, this silver is enough to repair this embryonic house, right? Even if the wealth is not exposed, it won't even be a little decent if the house is not renovated, right?
There is a big problem with the identity of the original father! This is what Yun Wei thought of first, and secondly, will the original father and mother die so suddenly? If it is really not killed, then will the other party tolerate the storage of his own small fish that has slipped through the net?
Yun Wei felt his neck flutter. Then I felt that God took the trouble to let him live again in this world, then he would definitely not let him die lightly, if he couldn't die, then the rest of the things would be covered by the soldiers!
After making up his mind, Yun Wei felt much better, and he also had the heart to look at the carp ornaments again. He shook the open mouth of the fish downwards, and shook out two bat-shaped gold coins and a black stone.
The stone seems to be often held in the hand and has been covered with a waxy sheen. The patterns on the stone are also very detailed, but Yun Wei can't see what the carving is, and he can't guess what it's for, but he vaguely feels that this black stone should be worth more than the two thousand taels of silver tickets and two gold bills combined.
After studying for a long time and yielding no results, Yun Wei gave up, put the silver tickets, gold bills, and black stones on the table, and continued to fiddle with the carp ornament of this hidden mechanism.
It took a little effort for Yun Wei to find out that the mystery was actually on a pair of carp eyes, the left eye was open, and the right eye was closed. This discovery made Yun Wei very emotional, and the industrious wisdom of the ancient working people.
After fiddling with it for a while, until he had enough of playing, Yun Wei stuffed the gold bill, stone, and silver ticket back into the carp's mouth in turn, and pressed the fisheye on the right side to return the ornament to its original state.
After finding the silver, Yun Wei had a bottom in his heart, so he relaxed and sat in front of the window to bask in the sun.
The hens in the yard were cooing and looking for food to eat, and Yun Wei suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a little donkey at home, and he didn't see the place to raise the donkey in the morning, so he kept it in the backyard? Yun Wei was interested and decided to go to the backyard to have a look.
As soon as he said to move, Yun Wei went out of the door and looked left and right, the courtyard wall on the west side was close to the house, and there seemed to be a fence gate on the east side. Yun Wei walked towards the fence gate, passing by the firewood and haystack halfway, and suddenly jumped out of the hen, spread her wings and cooed for a while, and then walked away as if nothing had happened.
Yun Wei was startled, patted his chest and calmed down, and found that the place where the hen came out was the only hole in the entire firewood and grass stack he had seen before that was not covered by melon vines. He thought it was dug by a person, but it turned out to be a chicken jerry!
Yun Wei laughed, this hen should not lay eggs in it, right? Yun Wei childishly decided to touch it, if he could really take out the eggs, then dinner would be over!
Rolling up his sleeves and reaching out to touch it, Yun Wei was suddenly happy, there were really two eggs, one was still hot! Yun Wei's hand poked in, trying to see if there were any eggs that had slipped through the net, but he touched a hard paper bag.
The smile froze, Yun Wei withdrew his hand and straightened up, knowing that he was the only one in the house, he still looked around vigilantly, fortunately, the courtyard wall of his house was high, and he couldn't see the situation in the courtyard outside.
Yun Wei went to the courtyard door and plugged it in, before turning around and taking out the paper bag from the haystack. Carefully unfolded, seeing the six copper coins strung with red rope and some scattered silver, Yun Wei exhaled fiercely. Luckily, just some money!
But how could there still be a bag of money? Yun Wei stretched out his hand and dialed it, not too much, compared to the silver ticket roll just now, it was a drizzle, and a diligent person with a small skill would probably be able to save it for a few more years.
So, this is the "big money" that the uncle's family is looking for?! Yun Wei felt that he was the truth, and he felt that this original parent was really not an ordinary person.
Stuffing a few pieces of loose silver into his sleeve, Yun Wei thought about it, took another hanging of coins and stuffed them into the placket of his clothes, and re-wrapped the remaining copper coins and stuffed them back. Uncle Niang is active at home every day, and sooner or later she will find that a hen lays eggs here, and then she will find a copper coin hidden here. Although the money was just for the aunt to find out, Yun Wei still felt unhappy in his heart, and dug the hole deeper before putting the paper bag in and stuffing the grass back in.
Do this qiē, Yun Wei patted the firewood and grass on his body, and nodded with satisfaction, this is a bit of a collector's property! After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Yun Wei reopened the door of the courtyard.
