Chapter 665: Surprise
Sure enough, Chu Xintian took Bai Yongjing to the vegetable cellar, took out the basket containing the potatoes, and opened the lid of the box buried in the ground. Bai Yongjing screamed.
"Mother, why did you put such a valuable thing in the vegetable cellar? Shouldn't these be kept in a cupboard at home and locked up?"
Bai Yongjing turned out to be a small money fan. When his family was in a state of poverty, he felt that every penny was earned through hard work and could not be wasted.
Now the situation at home is getting better and better. Under Chu Xintian's guidance, Bai Yongjing's problem was much better than before.
However, Chu Xintian put the gold and silver jewelry under the potato basket. Although this place seems to be hidden, Bai Yongjing always feels unsafe.
"Child, do you remember the story of the three hundred taels of silver given away for free?"
"Of course I remember. Didn't my mom tell me?" In the past few days, every night before Bai Yongjing went to bed, Chu Xintian would come to his room to tell her stories. In addition to these children's stories, Chu Xintian also selectively chose some idiom stories to tell him.
In Chu Xintian's view, idiom stories are the best bedtime stories. While listening to the story, he can also learn idioms, which is very meaningful to teach and enjoy.
When Chu Xintian was a child, his favorite book was "300 Idiom Stories".
Bai Yongjing's memory is better. Chu Xintian told him many stories that he would never forget.
At this time, I saw Chu Xintian mention that there was no silver here. told the story that Chu Xintian had told him not long ago.
After the story was told, Bai Yongjing wrinkled his little face and asked Chu Xintian a little puzzled: "But, mother, what does this matter without silver have to do with our family's affairs?"
"Jing'er, think about it, how well our new house has been built! Not only is this village famous, but I am afraid that people from nearby villages know about it. Since we can build such a good house, it means that the family must be rich. The news has spread. Maybe someone has bad intentions. When a thief comes to steal money, do you think he's the first place to go? Would you go to the bedroom looking for something the way you think? If my mother kept all the gold and silver jewelry in the bedroom and added a lock to the cabinet, wouldn't it be clear to the thief that everything of value was locked in the cabinet? Isn't that why there's no silver here?"
In this regard, after Chu Xintian analyzed it, she told Bai Yongjing the story in the TV series she had watched, the gold bars hidden in the chicken coop, of course, through storytelling.
After listening to Chu Xintian's analysis, Bai Yongjing seemed to nod and said, "Mother, there is also a ...... in the military book you said."
"Hey? In the book of war, it ...... "Chu Xintian listened to Bai Yongjing's words and asked curiously: "It was also said in the book of war, is this a way to hide silver?"
"It's not quite, there's a strategy in The Art of War called surprise. That's for mothers, isn't it? Who would have thought that the most valuable jewel in our house was hidden not in the bedroom, but under the potato basket in the vegetable cellar. It's a surprise, mother, you're such a military genius!"
Listening to her son's sweet praise, Chu Xintian couldn't help but be happy.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch her son's face: "No wonder my son is so smart." He inherited his mother's wisdom!"
"Hey, that's it!" Bai Yongjing grinned, revealing two rows of small white teeth.
As soon as he thought of going to the capital and having the opportunity to meet Zhao Wu, Bai Yongjing's mood was very beautiful.
Chu Xintian quickly found the gold-inlaid jade immortal lock and the dagger left by Bai Er in the box.
After Chu Xintian turned these two things out, he didn't immediately hand them over to Bai Yongjing: "Son, this longevity lock was originally yours, but remember, it was left by your grandmother, and it is very precious." Try not to break it, you know?"
"Mother, of course I know. Don't worry, I'll be careful!" Bai Yongjing nodded to Chu Xintian with great certainty.
