In the afternoon, Chao Rong sent Chen Li and Li Wanwan away, lay down on the bed in Yun Niang's sight, and took advantage of her to go back to the room, taking a broom, a dustpan and a rag and slipping down the cellar.

Although the cellar is dim during the day, the sunlight cast by the entrance allows the naked eye to see the whole picture.

Chao Rong put the broom and dustpan aside and walked over to the large box that was placed against the wall.

The box is made of wood, painted with dark red paint, covered with a thin layer of ash, and the box is not locked, only a buckle.

Due to the inconvenience of his leg injury, Chao Rong could only kneel on one knee, hold the candlestick, sweep the dust off the lid with a rag, and open the box.

What caught his eye was a piece of green cloth, which Chao Rong casually revealed......

However, after only one glance, she covered the green cloth back, and the sudden fright made her almost unable to kneel.

After a while, the look of consternation on Chao Rong's face subsided, and her gaze returned to calm, but she was still undecided, and hesitantly lifted the green cloth.

As far as the eye can see, Yinhua flows.

In the candlelight, a pile of silver ingots is neatly arranged in two layers of wooden pallets. Chao Rong counted down, and there were thirty on the first floor, and sixty on the second floor. Next to the silver ingot was a silver ticket stamped with a red seal, pressed underneath by dozens of pieces of broken silver.

Chao Rong felt that the hand holding the candlestick was a little numb, so he put the candlestick on the ground and returned his gaze to the box.

Chao Rong suddenly felt at a loss where to start.

She just wanted to clean up the cellar and see what was in it by the way, but she didn't expect to dig out a bunch of family foundations, which were so rich!

Chao Rong once suspected that Yun Niang was a rich woman.

Finally, Chao Rong stretched out his hands that felt a little trembling, counted the money in the tray, and finally came to the result: a silver ingot is about ten taels, plus broken silver, it is almost more than six hundred taels, in addition, there are eight thousand taels of silver tickets.

Chao Rong, who had just learned the value of the currency the night before, thought that Mu Changying was likely to be the "stupid son" of a wealthy man's family, and Yun Niang was the little wife who ran out of the rich man's house......

Chao Rong thought for a while and then returned to reality, carefully took out the tray containing the silver coins from the box, and continued to check the contents of the box.

Under the tray was a green cloth package, and Chao Rong untied the dead knot on it, and a piece of red broke into his eyes—it was a red dress that was almost eye-burning.

Chao Rong's fingertips stroked the neatly folded red clothes, and under his fingertips, there were several clusters of plum blossoms embroidered with gold threads.

Chao Rong didn't mess up her clothes, she looked at it twice and covered the green cloth back. Taking out the package, the carved wooden box below had nowhere to hide, exposed under Chao Rong's gaze.

Chao Rong opened the wooden box, and inside lay a golden lock of longevity and a folded piece of gold-sprinkled red paper. After experiencing the shine of silver, Chao Rong was not much shocked by the golden lock on the silk cushion, and she was more curious about the things on the red paper.

The red paper was well preserved because it was placed in the box, without any old color, and Chao Rong also stained it with gold dust when he unfolded it.

In red paper and black letters, a few sentences were written: Gao Yun, the word Lou Hua, was born on December 15 of the year of Zhaoshun.

Chao Rong immediately knew what this piece of paper was - Yun Niang's name and birthday. Gao Yun is the well-known Yun Niang in Xinghua Village......

After putting everything back in its place, Chao Rong realized that his legs were numb, so he got up and sat on the box for a while before he began to clean the cellar.

In addition to the box on the wall, Chao Rong also looked at a few jars in the corner and found that they were pickled vegetables that Mu Changying had eaten only a few days ago.

After sweeping the cellar, Chao Rong went to Yun Niang with a stomach full of questions......
