Chapter 0087: The Burrow Hides the Truth
Since getting the Qinglian Secret Realm for more than a month, Zeng Zhi has used his leisure time to conduct an inductive analysis of various auction items and auction prices published on the Internet, and then compared the various antiques in the secret realm to make a rough valuation, and finally found that the value of these porcelain, calligraphy and paintings and various antiques hidden in the secret realm is actually calculated in terms of billions.
After coming up with this result, Zeng Zhi also had the idea of these antiques. As long as one or two of them are put up for auction, the proceeds must be millions or even tens of millions. Because these items are all items from before the Middle and Tang Dynasty, especially the authentic works of the great poets of that period, followed by the calligraphy and paintings of some ministers, of course, there are also some works of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, and these works of the previous dynasties are all treasures, presumably these are the collections of his cheap master Qinglian Sword Immortal.
In fact, what Zeng Zhi showed to Chen Xiangyang and Zhang Chunming was only part of the collections in the Qinglian Secret Realm, and it was only of average value. Those real treasures, Zeng Zhi didn't dare to show them to others at this moment. Because many of the works are already known to the world as lost items. Others are in the collections of some of the country's most important museums. If he showed this, it would definitely cause a lot of commotion. It's okay to be considered a fake, but if it's considered genuine, it's really troublesome.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Zeng Zhi still decided not to fight the idea of these treasured items, and to get some food from the secret realm to sell it with peace of mind, although it was hard, but at least it was relatively safe and proper.
And Zeng Zhi dared to show these items in front of him to Chen Xiangyang and Zhang Chunming, on the one hand, because he knew that the character of the two elders was quite reliable, and secondly, even if it was exposed, he had a reason. Because their Zeng surname is also a big family, the genealogical records are from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and some historical collections are also normal.
Coming out of the study, the three of them continued to bask in the sun in the courtyard, chatting while drinking tea.
Chen Xiangyang asked: "Xiao Zeng, I see that your house has been around for some years, right?" ”
Zeng Zhi nodded and said, "It's been a few years, according to what my second uncle told me when he was alive, this house should have been built in the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty." ”
Chen Xiangyang was a little surprised when he heard this, he asked casually, and he didn't hope that a young man like Zeng Zhi would understand this, but he didn't expect Zeng Zhi to know. So his interest came, and he continued to ask Zeng Zhi. He is a well-known master of Chinese studies, and he is very interested in these histories.
Zeng Zhi told him some of the information he knew about this ancestral house, which was actually not complicated. As a large family who moved here, the family population is naturally very large, especially after three generations of moving here, the population has increased dramatically, and the original ancestral house is not enough to live. So, the ancestor of Zeng Zhi's branch moved out and built this courtyard house by himself. It has been passed down for more than ten generations and finally passed into the hands of Zeng Zhi.
Of course, this is also because Zeng Zhi's family is considered a clan of this group, so they can always live in the ancestral house.
At the beginning, there was another group of people who moved out of the original old house at the same time. They built a similar courtyard house in another place.
With these three oldest ancestral houses, the huge Zeng family has derived the three major houses today, and the big house lives in the oldest ancestral house, which is now Zeng Lingxu and their family. Zeng Zhi's vein is considered to be the second room, and the other vein is the third room.
The huge Zeng family, although the patriarch has always been served by Zeng Lingxu and their branch, but the most talented in history is Zeng Zhi and their second room. As a result, their ancestral home is the most intact and has not been damaged to this day. The other two are about to be ruined, and the original ancestral house was damaged during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. What is left behind today was rebuilt during the Daoguang period.
Knowing this, Chen Xiangyang was also quite embarrassed, and sighed that many of the things of the ancestors were gradually corrupted in the long history because the descendants were not angry.
After learning that the ancestral house of Zeng Zhi's family had a history of nearly three hundred and forty years, the old man was still wandering around the house, touching here and knocking there. Especially those large columns that require two adults to hold hands to hug each other, the old man was even more amazed, and he exclaimed: "Only such a stout pillar can stand through hundreds of years of wind and rain!" ”
At the same time, Chen Xiangyang also knows why the Zeng family has so many treasures. Although Zeng Zhi didn't tell him the origin of those treasures just now, the old man had automatically regarded them as the ancestral heirlooms of the Zeng family. But how did he know that more than ninety percent of those items were taken out by Zeng Zhi from the Qinglian Secret Realm, and only a few of them were the real ancestral items of the Zeng family.
………………
After Chen Xiangyang, Zhang Chunming and Dong Yue came to Zeng's house, Zeng Zhi felt that there was no difference from his family of three before, except for some feelings in the first day or two.
Zeng Zhi's small life is now more and more comfortable, and there is only one thing left to worry about, that is, waiting for the scale of the multi-story greenhouse to develop. Because then he can find someone to do the daily food delivery, after all, there is no secret, as for himself, he can let go and enjoy his life, it can be said that more than half of Zeng Zhi's life goals are about to be achieved, and it is something that is close at hand and can be achieved immediately.
Zeng Zhi's parents also gradually adapted to the leisurely life, they don't have much work now, that is, after building a greenhouse, the remaining corners of their own land are planted with some sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, and the family also feeds two pigs, which need these crops to feed.
Chen Xiangyang and Zhang Chunming's life is more leisurely, three meals a day are prepared by Zeng Zhi, a young man, and the taste is super good, they only need to be responsible for eating. And after eating, it is either a walk around the village, or a game of chess in the courtyard and a dark place.
Dong Yue's otaku attributes, after coming to Zeng Zhi's house, played to the extreme, she stayed in her room every day to code words, and this girl was still secret, Zeng Zhi didn't know what she wrote.
But Yuan Ling has not lived well these days, as the village director, Yuan Ling himself feels that the burden on his shoulders is still very heavy, and he bears the heavy responsibility of more than 1,200 people in the village to get rid of poverty and become well-off.
As a five-good young man with ideals and ambitions in the new era, Yuan Ling is definitely not a decadent young man like Zeng Zhi who can be compared.
