Chapter 9: The Chamber of Secrets

Wang Yunshu opened the wooden door behind the straw mat, and inside was a small secret room half a person high. She went into the space and got a flashlight, and when she came out, she turned it on, and it was bright for a while.

Yun Shu closed his eyes a little uncomfortable, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an old-fashioned wooden box in the secret room, like a dowry box in a costume drama.

There is half a bag of noodles next to the wooden box, about 20 catties, and a few pockets, Yun Shu opened it and saw that it was rice and millet that had been collected in different categories, all of which weighed one or two catties.

No wonder the eldest grandmother and her second aunt searched for a long time, and they didn't see the fine grain in their house, only when the mother and wife ate it, the eldest grandmother scolded for a long time, it turned out that her mother had already hidden in the secret room.

Yun Shu didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time, for herself and for the eldest girl, but now this is a good thing for herself, and the things in her space can be taken out with confidence.

Yun Shu opened the large box of mahogany, and there were actually a few cotton and satin that were a little dull in color and had been placed for a long time at a glance.

However, Yun Shu's divine sense "saw" that there was a dressing box inlaid with a glass mirror, twenty centimeters square, and a serious Hainan Huanghuali under the fabric.

There are five layers in the dressing box, and the top layer is placed with an old sandalwood comb and a jade comb, which are beautifully carved, and look like an old object.

It's a pity that the jade comb is estimated to be not commonly used, not well maintained, and some dry, but it's a pity that the material of Hetian topaz is not used.

On the second floor, there are more than a dozen pieces of delicate jewelry, all of which are red gold and rubies, including hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, rings, and earrings, which are a complete set of jewelry.

Gold or filigree is beaten into paper-thin gold leaf, and the gems are as large as a fingernail, and as small as a grain of rice.

When Yun Shu was in school, he was fascinated by gems and jade for a while, if this ruby is not wrong, it should be a pigeon's blood ruby, and after a few decades, such a set of jewelry can be auctioned for hundreds of millions of yuan.

Yun Shu really couldn't imagine that the eldest girl's family would have such a valuable thing, which was the dowry of the eldest girl?

On the last layer is a pair of jade bracelets, although they are not as good as the sheep fat jade and imperial green bracelets given to her by the judge, but they are also the texture of glass gold silk and red jade.

The fourth layer is two land deeds, Yun Shu carefully studied it, and found that this is the real estate certificate of the Jin family's ancestral house and a courtyard in the capital, which was re-issued after liberation.

The fifth layer is full of a layer of large yellow croaker, with ten roots.

These things make Yun Shu feel a sense of confusion, what is the origin of the eldest girl?

It seems that the Jin family is richer than the big girl remembers, but it is not comparable to a rural landowner.

In the memory of the eldest girl, the Jin family is in Changbai Village, a few hills away from Qingxi Village, at the foot of the mountain where Tianchi is located, and now it should be called the Changbai Brigade.

The Jin family has a big house with four entrances in the Changbai Brigade, but even if the big landlord divided the land back then, it did not hinder the Jin family in the slightest, first, the old man of the Jin family is a red landlord, except for this ancestral house, even the land has been sold and donated;

The second is the identity of the grandmother's grandfather and grandmother as a revolutionary martyr, and the country cannot let the families of the martyrs chill.

The third is that the Jin family has been the head of Changbai Village for generations.

Although his grandfather Jin Alin joined the WTO five years ago, his prestige in Changbai Village is still very high.

This is also the reason why after the big girl's father and mother are gone, Tong Jianye, the current captain of the Changbai Brigade, calls people to come over from time to time to take a look.

The eldest girl only remembered that her grandfather was very good to her, and even when he was dying, he still thought about the eldest girl and the eldest child.

But she really didn't know what was special about her grandfather's family, but Yun Shu was different, from the memory of the eldest girl, at a glance, she found that the old man of the Jin family was not as simple as an ordinary landlord.

By the way, the Jin family is Manchu, and Changbai Mountain is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and Jin is the name of the Qing Dynasty before.

Yun Shu was a little confused, the Jin family wouldn't have any hidden identities, right?

Thinking of this, Yun Shu had a lawsuit in her head, she wanted to raise her children and raise her children, anything else, please retreat?

......

There were also a few tanned skins in the wooden chest: two sable skins, one white fox skin, and one lynx skin, which were supposed to be the trophies of the eldest lady.

Under the skin was a hunting bow and a bundle of arrows, a jar of malt cream, and a small iron box, inside which were ten large black picks of ten yuan.

In the corner of the secret room, Yun Shu also found half a jar of salt and half a jar of lard, but I didn't see any of the various tickets, it is estimated that either the eldest girl used them, or they were taken away by her grandmother and second aunt when they were placed outside.

Yun Shu put the jewelry box into the space, thinking about giving them a point when his younger brother picked up his daughter-in-law.

Then she took out the flour, rice, and eggs from the space and put them away, took two cans of canned peaches, and tore off the packaging with words to rest assured.

After looking at it, she replaced the milk bottle she picked out with the most ordinary one, with this can of malt milk essence in the secret room, the milk powder can also be secretly mixed in, anyway, Xiao Zhuang can't speak now.

At this moment, Yun Shu was so grateful to the eldest girl's father for having an idea at that time.

A Cartier watch appeared out of thin air in Yun Shu's hand, and he looked at the time, this toss actually took more than an hour, and it was more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Putting the watch into the cabin of the space, Yun Shu's feeling at this time can be described in one word - sour.

There are all kinds of brand-name watches, jewelry, high-end bags, and haute couture in the mall, and many luxury goods that she had to hesitate to use before buying.

However, when I was finally able to have a casual luxury, I became a sad one who died when I saw the light.

In this era, in addition to blue, black, and gray, gray, black, and blue, green military uniforms are popular, but those who are not soldiers at home can't even get old clothes.

If you want a red scarf, you have to go to a department store in a big city to buy it, but you still have to have a ticket and money.

Now Yun Shu can only be happy for himself, after all, there is no cotton for the winter.

There are a lot of bedding in the space, not to mention cotton, down, and silk, but she doesn't want to challenge other people's IQ, so it's too dangerous to take it out directly.

However, Yun Shu was glad that he persevered in painting, and studied fashion design in college.

Needless to say, if the design is not designed or anything, if it is so easy to get ahead, she will not go home to be an otaku.

However, in four years of college, she at least learned how to cut, use a sewing machine, and make clothes.

In this era when even ready-to-wear is rare, and working people pay attention to "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", tailors have lost their jobs.

Out of the cellar, Yun Shu walked around the backyard again, and went to the toilet by the way.

Today's toilets consist of two boards in a pit, then fenced with wooden planks or adobe to leave a door.

If you are not so particular, you can see the blue sky when you look up, and you can see pedestrians passing by when you stand up.

Such toilets are still available in the countryside in the 21st century, where flies and mosquitoes are essential, but there is not much time left to jump.

In the 60s, the greenhouse effect was not yet obvious, and long clothes and trousers were already worn in the Changbai Mountain area in August.

Back in the hall, Yun Shu scooped some water with a gourd and washed his hands directly.

The red enamel basin has been taken away by the eldest aunt, and there is only a wooden footbasin left in the house, and the clean towels are gone, and the whole family seems to have gone through the "three-light policy".

Yun Shu saw that there was not much water in the tank, but fortunately, the wooden barrel for carrying water was still there. There is no well at home, or the whole Qingxi Village has no awareness of digging a well.

So the benefits of living at the foot of the mountain are evident again, and when you open the door, you will see the upper reaches of the small river, close to the water source.
