Chapter 81: Because of Belief
"Can we still take out these jewelry?" Meng Zhen doesn't want to be named "the remnant of the previous dynasty", she has always spared her life.
Su Shen was amused by the sadness and grief on her face, "Yes, but it's better not to wear it yourself." ”
Meng Hao's face turned cloudy for a second, and she smiled and touched the delicate jewelry that was packed in small boxes, "Then let's hide it for the time being, and then take these out directly to exchange for money when we need to." ”
Su Shen bowed slightly, "It's best to take it to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas and sell it directly to the pawnshops or jewelry shops over there." ”
This is a very distant "future" for Meng Hao, after all, it is impossible for her to leave Ninghai County in a short time.
However, even if it can't be realized for the time being, it may not be able to be worn in the future, and Meng Zhen is still very happy.
After all, there is almost nothing that women don't like about gold, silver, pearls and jade, and they can collect them privately and take them out from time to time to touch them, which is already a surprise for Meng Hao.
The two opened all the jewelry boxes in the box one by one, and found that the jewelry in the box was gold, jade, gemstones, and pearls, which were dazzling and dazzling.
"There are eight sets of jewelry, all of which are housed in special rosewood boxes. The rosewood box contained a single piece of jewelry, and I counted it, and there were a total of 36 pieces of jewelry of various sizes. ”
Meng Hao touched her chin and smiled contentedly.
Each of the eight sets of jewelry is extremely delicate and valuable, and even among those big families, these pieces of jewelry are already qualified to be regarded as family heirlooms.
The remaining thirty-six pieces, although slightly inferior, are really only slightly inferior.
After admiring their true faces, Meng Zhen completely stopped thinking about taking out these jewelry and wearing them - who made her just a little-known small businessman.
In a hierarchical feudal society, a person of her status is not worthy of wearing such good jewelry.
Meng Hao spread her hands at Su Shen with a regretful expression, "It seems that we can really only sell these jewelry." ”
Su Shen was silent for a moment.
Apparently he also had in mind the hierarchy of this world.
With their current status, wearing such jewelry will definitely be beautiful and will not cause trouble.
His thin lips pursed slightly, and for the first time in his heart, he had the idea of stepping into officialdom.
Although the thought was fleeting enough to shake his strong obsession with revenge, it was also an unprecedented change for him.
The two of them put the box back in the box, and then placed the box containing the jewelry next to the box containing gold and silver.
When Hao Mengyun came back, all he saw were two solid wood boxes outside the house, as well as a stone house that had been cleaned.
"It's wet in the house now, let's eat lunch outside the house." After a tired morning, Meng Hao didn't want to bother with lunch anymore.
She stewed a pheasant soup with the dried mushrooms she had brought with her, and then used the japonica rice she brought with her to cook a very sticky porridge with wild vegetables and eggs.
As for Xiao Hei, the rice of this product is still the same roast pheasant and roast hare.
Hao Mengyun, who was not happy with meat, snatched a roasted rabbit leg from Xiao Hei, while Meng Zhen and Su Shen drank wild vegetable and egg porridge without meat together.
After the three of them had lunch, Meng Hao pushed the two boxes in front of Hao Mengyun, "Master, I am going to divide these things into three parts, and you, Ah Shen and I will each have one share." You are an elder, so it is up to you to choose the jewelry first. ”
Hao Mengyun took a small step back, "What are you kidding, girl!" I didn't find these things, so why should I divide them up with you? ”
Without waiting for Meng Hao to persuade again, Hao Mengyun had already hid behind Su Shen with a vigilant face, "No merit, your master and I are also a chivalrous girl with the goal of doing chivalry and righteousness, don't force me to destroy my reputation!" ”
Meng Zhen: ......
I don't know, I think she's doing something bad!
Su Shen smiled, "That is, if you don't have merit, you should keep these gold, silver and jewelry yourself." ”
Meng Hao's mood was as complicated as her expression.
After all, the amount is not very huge, but these jewels are different from those gold and silver, if they are really sold, these jewels can be sold for at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
That's tens of thousands of taels!
In this backward era when ordinary farmers may not be able to save enough ten taels of silver all year round, what is the concept of tens of thousands of taels?
Even if they could only get one-third of it, one-third of the silver was enough for them to buy an industry in Ninghai County and become a wealthy squire who had no worries about food and clothing.
Such a large sum of silver, but Su Shen and Hao Mengyun both had such an attitude of avoiding it.
Meng Hao didn't know whether she should be speechless about their stupidity, or praise their innocence.
She took a deep breath, "With such a large sum of money, you wouldn't want me to digest it alone, would you?" If you don't accept it, then I can only sell it slowly and find an opportunity to buy land and property for you. ”
Hao Mengyun jumped over, stretched out his hand and knocked on her head, "Why are you so stubborn?" This valley was found by Blackie, right? You raised Blackie, right? Then tell me, does your windfall have anything to do with me or Ah Shen? ”
Su Shen also said: "As Aunt Yun said, this money should have been your thing. ”
"You want to give it to us, it's your sincerity to us, but if we really accept this money, then what will we become?"
"You must know that in life, money is important, but there are some things that are more important than money."
This is an inspiration that Su Shen found from the Guo family - if you want to convince Meng Hao, you have to let her know that what she thinks is good for you will actually bring you some bad influences.
Meng Hao really hesitated, because she is also the kind of person who attaches importance to money, but is not the principle of "money first".
Hao Mengyun and Su Shen took a look, and hurriedly made persistent efforts to persuade.
Meng Zhen was not the kind of person who was good at arguing, Su Shen and Hao Mengyun worked together, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour to completely confuse poor Miss Meng.
In order not to let himself do bad things with good intentions, he made Su Shen and Hao Mengyun unhappy, and at the same time, in order not to destroy Su Shen and Hao Mengyun's principles of life, in the end, Meng Zhen was dizzy and agreed to "swallow the windfall".
The goal was achieved, Su Shen and Hao Mengyun quietly looked at each other.
Meng Zhen, who didn't know anything about this, ran to clean the dishes and chopsticks very diligently with a head full of paste.
Hao Mengyun, who stayed where he was and didn't move, said to Su Shen with emotion: "My little apprentice is really defenseless, but fortunately you are a conscientious person." ”
Su Shen was busy cleaning up the chicken bones and rabbit bones on the ground, and when he heard this, he raised his head slightly, "She doesn't have the heart to defend people because she believes in us." ”
It has always been that the closer and more trusted people are, the more likely they are to stab you in the tip of your heart, but it is those so-called "outsiders" who are not trusted, and it is difficult to find the real point of a person.
