Chapter 286: The Treasury
The old lady cried, and all the harshness and meanness she had had had turned into bitter water.
Xiao Yue didn't speak, he listened quietly on the side, it turned out that there were still these things behind the Lin family's case. However, it doesn't sound like the Yue Guo Mansion is moving now, but think about it, who knows what the story behind it is?
Qingqing waited for the old lady to cry tired, so she asked someone to send her to rest, and asked the housekeeper to take them to open the warehouse. The West Library is actually in the West Courtyard, to put it bluntly, this is the old lady's private library, which is very interesting from the site selection, facing the window of the old lady's main house. If there is any movement, the old lady can see it clearly by herself without using others, and it is difficult to get out, even if the person who buys a yard is impossible, it is impossible to take the things here out.
"How shrewd is this old lady?" King Chun looked at the door lock, and then saw the old lady's face exposed by the window more than ten meters away, which did not affect the old lady's scenery, but it could not escape the old lady's sight.
"Look at the locks and seals." Qingqing didn't do anything, only let An An watch.
An An asked Xiao Yue to pick him up again, stretched out his head to look at it and sniffed it again.
"Someone maintains, someone often wipes at the door, but there is a gray smell when it is near, and the color of the seal is also old.
"At the beginning, my ancestor was a grain official in the suburbs, and he was the most meticulous; And my aunt and grandmother grew up with my grandfather, if this thing was deceived by a few subordinates, then I would be angry to death. Qingqing patted An An, took out her mask and gloves, and distributed them to everyone. She didn't move the seal, she used her fingernails to cut through the seal and unlock the door.
It was neat inside, but it was covered with dust. Also, no one has touched it for ten years, and if it's really spotless, it's weird. Curry is empty, and it's divided into categories. What furniture, ornaments...... It was all in a box with a seal on it, and that was the date they came back from the south.
"So what the old lady meant just now was that they came back from the south, and these things were not opened?" Qingqing looked back at the mother-in-law who ushered them in.
"Yes. When the lady returned, she was heartbroken, and the uncle asked her to classify the cages in the south, saying that when the old lady had the spirit, she would clean it up. The woman hurriedly bowed her head and replied, "The old lady feels that she has nothing to take all these years, so she has been leaving it here all the time." ”
"Then what things were transported, there should be account books, right? Grandfather won't go unanswered. Qingqing hurriedly asked.
"I don't know this little one, the little one is in charge of the house in the capital, and the old lady's ......" the mother-in-law didn't continue.
Qingqing thought about it, the whole family traveled, and the faces around him naturally had to follow. As a result, the old lady came back alone. The old man went to the south to bring her back, these things look a lot, in fact, basically, what is really valuable, generally silver tickets, real estate deeds, the old man and the old lady have done their best for their children and grandchildren, and they are not really from a wealthy family, so they are reluctant to spend a penny. Packing things up on the south side, leaving the two to wait on the side, and putting the rest away, is also a kind of frugality.
"What about the people who came back with the old lady and put them back to the south?" Qingqing did not let go of a glimmer of hope.
"I went back with the boat, but my uncle gave me a double share of labor, asked someone to take care of it all the way, and promised the original boat to return." The woman smiled, she went to the dock to pick it up, and waited until today. As for what happened to the south, in fact, no one knows except the old lady.
Qingqing slowly didn't move the cages, turned around, and returned to the place at the door, where there was no classification, it was just a large wooden box with grandfather's words on it.
She asked Xiao Yue and Chunwang to take a box down, she carefully poured hot water, steamed for a long time, and broke it when it was revealed, and Xiao Yue and Chunwang both saw that under the seal, there was a thin hair.
"Your Qiao family is so thief-proof?" King Chun glared at them.
"It can only be said that the Qiao family is very strict." Qingqing glanced back.
"Okay, why did you open this box?" King Chun decided not to talk about anything else, and looked at Qingqing to open the box.
"This is my aunt's belongings, and I put them at the door, so that my aunt can get them at any time if she wants them." Qingqing opened it, this box is a commonly used item for Master Lin. The four treasures of the study, even the used pens were well packed and brought back. Qingqing casually took out a piece of half-used ink and showed it to An An, "How is it?" ”
"Better than I did." An An looked at it and said hurriedly.
"What better than mine?" Qingqing smiled and looked at An An.
"yes, it's not as good as you!" An An looked at the ink block again, thought about it, glanced back at Qingqing, and thought about it, "He's an adult, why use this kind of bargain?" ”
Qingqing laughed lightly, yes, many of the things in this box have been used for many years, and there is still a small gap in the water bowl. Looking at ordinary things, in fact, you can see a person's temperament the most. Of course, this kind of meeting is not high-born, so he is diligent and thrifty. But what about a different perspective? A water bowl can be used to be such a person, is he really going to make the last money for his sons? The salary of the court is still quite high, and it is said that the petty officials who guard the gate of the city are richer than the king who comes to the pilgrimage, this is the most prosperous era, and the literati do not have the fashion of virtue of diligence and thrift.
And the Qiao family doesn't have the virtue of thrift, the old man just has meat on the bun and not on the pleats, and it has nothing to do with thrift. And just now the old lady also said how rich the house to the south of them was. A person who has been in Fugui Township, after receiving so many luxury gifts, he still uses such things, I am afraid that there is a deep meaning.
"The first emperor is eloquent, and he singled out Ling Guzu, but I'm afraid that it is really a dangerous move." Xiao Yue is also looking at those things, this is the smallest box, it is the old man's desktop things, it seems that it has been used for many years, he has a hundred official codex in his heart, this one has been dead for many years, he doesn't need to know. However, a person who has memorized the codex of hundreds of officials knows much more about officials than Qingqing imagined.
"You're right, yes, I miscalculated, he must be someone from the first emperor, sent to Yuedi, to investigate things, so he coaxed his aunt and grandmother to say that he was going to get money, so he followed, and their performance must be very good. Merely...... They found out something, and let people know about it, so if the whole family came to kill them. And the old man was a little confident, he handed over the things, and felt that he had completed his task, so he invited his sons on his birthday to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the result was ......"
Qingqing shook her head and ran out by herself.
