Chapter 374: Human Nature
Mo Yanfei said with some sadness: "Zong Ze, I'm a little reluctant to this courtyard. ”
Zhang Siye persuaded: "Only if you give up can you have gain, if you don't give up these old ones, how can you build a new one?" ”
"It costs a lot of money to build a new one."
Zhang Siye touched Mo Yanfei's head, "Isn't it just for you to spend my money?" ”
Mo Yanfei hugged Zhang Siye's arm, "Wow, I'm so moved!" ”
"Sister, let's get down to business." Chu Yunfei shouted behind Mo Yanfei very sadly.
Mo Yanfei glanced back at Chu Yunfei, "You're full so soon?" ”
Chu Yunfei beckoned, "Sister, come in quickly." ”
Mo Yanfei pulled Zhang Siye back to the flower hall, she said to Qian Jiang with a smile, "The first time you came to our house, you didn't prepare anything for you, are you still used to eating?" ”
"It's delicious." Qian Jiang was full of food, and he spoke politely, "Today, Yunfei and I took the liberty to disturb my sister, and we asked my sister for help." ”
Mo Yanfei smiled, "Since you call me sister, you don't have to see outside, if there is anything, just say it directly." ”
Qian Jiang nodded and said, "I have a third grandfather, who is my father's cousin, and he is already very old. My father is his only living relative, and our family goes back to his hometown to see him every Chinese New Year. He always told us that he would leave us all the money when he died. ”
"He died last month, and all his things were inherited by my father." Qian Jiang smiled awkwardly, "When I say this, it sounds like a bit of a philistine, but my third grandfather is already very old, and he has been sick in bed for a long time." Although I liked him very much, I felt that death was also a relief for him. ”
Mo Yanfei nodded, "I can understand, to be honest, I think it's better to live than to die altogether." Those who die suddenly are all blessings from the previous life. ”
Qian Jiang sighed, "Alas, the problem now is that all the things left by the third grandfather together can't be sold for a hundred oceans. This was a big blow to our family, and we thought we could inherit a large inheritance, and my father was going to expand the factory. My sister is still waiting for this money as a dowry and a good marriage. But now it seems that our family has not become rich, and I am afraid that everything will be in vain. ”
Mo Yanfei blinked, "Are you sure that the third grandfather is rich?" Did he make any investments? ”
"The third grandfather is very rich." Qian Jiang said helplessly, "But after he died, we didn't find anything." In recent years, the third grandfather has been suspicious of everything, he doesn't trust anyone, so he never invests, and he doesn't feel at ease when the money is in the bank. ”
Zhang Siye smiled, "He is very wise to do this." ”
Qian Jiang nodded, "Well, the third grandfather has a friend who lost all his savings because of the collapse of Qingdao Minghua Bank. There was also a friend who was ruined by a so-called banker. He also worked for an investment company and bought some gold mine stocks without a shadow. Since then, he has always said that the wisest and safest way is to exchange all the money for gold bars and bury them under his bed. ”
Mo Yanfei glanced at Zhang Siye, she was going to wait for Chu Yun to fly away, and then go under Zhang Siye's bed to see if the floor tiles were loose.
Qian Jiang continued: "After the death of the third grandfather, we sorted out the relics, and we didn't find any securities, oceans, and gold bars. The lawyer said that he sold all the securities three years ago and withdrew all the deposits from the bank, and no one knows what the third grandfather did with the money. So I think he must have really exchanged all the money for gold bars and buried them. ”
Mo Yanfei frowned, "Didn't the third grandfather say anything before he died, or left any letters?" ”
Qian Jiang shook his head, "This is what makes people worry, he suddenly became ill, and he didn't leave anything behind." ”
Mo Yanfei raised his eyebrows: "You have already dug up the third grandfather's house, right?" ”
Qian Jiang was a little embarrassed, "Well, the floor has been pried up; The walls were smashed through. We also turned the boxes and cabinets in the house upside down, and we dismantled all the furniture with hidden locks. Even the small trees in the yard were dug up, but nothing was found. ”
Mo Yanfei turned the ring, "What does exist, but you haven't found it." ”
"Yes." Qian Jiang said, "I came to Fengcheng this time in the hope that my sister could help me find those gold bars." ”
Mo Yanfei was stunned for a moment, "How do you know it's a gold bar?" ”
Qian Jiang blinked, "The third grandfather said it himself, he wants to replace it with gold bars and bury them under the bed." ”
Mo Yanfei smiled, "Xiao Jiang, you hid the money, where will you hide the money, hang it on your lips, and tell others casually?" ”
"Oh my God!" Qian Jiang exclaimed: "How did I forget, the third grandfather is a person who likes to joke." ”
Chu Yunfei said on the side: "In this case, isn't there no clue at all?" ”
Qian Jiang frowned and muttered, "Where can the third grandfather put the money?" ”
"Does the third grandfather have any hobbies?" Mo Yanfei asked.
Qian Jiang thought for a while, "His only hobby is to sit on the chair in the study in a daze. ”
Mo Yanfei's eyes were dripping, "What's in front of the chair in the study?" ”
"Bookshelves."
Mo Yanfei's eyes lit up, "Have you checked the things on the bookshelf?" ”
"In addition to the books, there are only two porcelain vases left on the shelf." Qian Jiang sighed, "Hey, the porcelain vase was given to him by my father, and it is not worth anything at all." My sister took all the books off the shelves and shook them one by one, but there was nothing. ”
Mo Yanfei raised his eyebrows, "What kind of books are they?" ”
"There are all kinds of books, and he still has the "Three Character Classic" used by my father for enlightenment."
Mo Yanfei then asked, "Are the books old?" ”
"It's all stuff from the pressure box." Qian Jiang nodded, "There are two thread-bound books, my sister is about to shake them to pieces, if it weren't for the engraved version of the "Book of Rites" and "Banqiao Collection" The content of the two books is not bad, I plan to finish the matter, look at it when I have nothing to do, I would have thrown it away." ”
Mo Yanfei smiled, "Xiao Jiang, I advise you to ask a few professional collectors to evaluate them, your two books are about to fall apart." ”
Qian Jiang asked in surprise: "You mean that the old book is valuable?" ”
"I'm not sure." Mo Yanfei said, "But I know that rare books are few and difficult to keep, so some people will collect some high-grade rare books while collecting calligraphy, paintings, and ceramics." I've heard that some of the ancient books are even more frighteningly expensive. ”
Zhang Siye said: "In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there was already a saying of 'one or two gold on a page of the Song version', which shows the high value of ancient books. There is also a saying in the pawnshop that 600-year-old books are sold and 400-year-old books are sold.
