Chapter 138: Digging for Treasure in the Garden

The photo only captured the tip of the iceberg, but it already made Xu Yao very excited.

I’m afraid their leisure villa can’t compare to this one.

Compared with the grandeur of the manor, the villas in Shanghai seem inferior.

The old-fashioned American-style single-family villa has gray walls and white doors, two floors above ground and two floors underground. The building covers an area of ​​about 600 square meters and has a large courtyard full of flowers and plants.

It is similar to the two villas in Jiangcheng, but it is located in Shanghai. In terms of practical value, it is not as good as the houses in Jiangcheng, and in terms of appreciation value, it is not as good as the courtyard houses in Kyoto.

The Ji family's house in Kyoto is a four-courtyard house with a floor area of ​​approximately 1,300 square meters.

The location is also good, and it will be priceless in the future.

"In the Qing Dynasty, only high-ranking officials could live in a courtyard house with four entrances and four sides, right? Our grandfather is really very capable."

Villas and manors are easy to buy with money, but it is not easy for a native of Jiangcheng to own such a large courtyard house in Kyoto.

Unconsciously, she voiced out the doubts in her heart.

Ji Changyu chuckled when he heard this, "There's nothing strange about it. My ancestors were officials in Beijing, and the house has been passed down from generation to generation.

The other two houses that have not been taken back for the time being are: one is also a Kyoto courtyard house, but with three courtyards, and the other is a manor house by the West Lake. ”

Xu Yao looked full of admiration.

Only officials of the third rank are qualified to have three courtyards, not to mention four courtyards. The Ji family is really profound and must have produced many high-ranking officials.

It was just as she thought, the Ji family was not large, with only three Jinshi in the family.

My grandfather’s business is big, which is related to the wealth accumulated by his ancestors.

If all the property had not been donated, the wealth in the family would probably drive people crazy.

Today is a new society, and it is meaningless to talk about the glory of the past.

Ji Changyu thought quietly with the tip of his tongue against his cheek.

Just these, Xu Yao is already very satisfied.

It seemed like she had never suffered any hardship in her life. Her parents started a business, allowing her to be a rich second-generation who spent money like water.

If you marry now, you can still rest easy by relying on the good fortune of your husband's ancestors, not to mention having a husband with a promising future and a son with a very high IQ.

The four words "winner in life" are the best description of her.

"Why are you sighing?" Ji Changyu stared at her quietly with his deep black pupils.

"Suddenly I feel like I have no goals in life."

Without a goal, you will become a salted fish.

Who understands this kind of pain?

"Then quit your job?" Ji Changyu raised his eyebrows, and Xu Yao stood up straight abruptly.

"No, if I quit, I'll just stay at home every day, chatting with those aunties about which positions are good and how to win a man's heart."

The aunties were chatting in a very open manner, and she was worried that she might have kidney deficiency.

Ji Changyu suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, you decide for yourself."

They have chosen two houses, and there are three left. Ji's mother plans to wait until they come back from vacation and let them discuss it face to face.

In addition, Xu Jiaan was pulled over to give some advice, telling him that wealth should not be shown to others. The child said he understood without any emotion.

He doesn't care whether he lives in a big house or a small house. If his mother likes a big house, then he will work hard to earn money to buy her a house.

The house process took several days.

On Sunday morning, Ji Changyu took Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan, along with cleaning tools, to see their house.

Perhaps Ji's mother was afraid of being reminded of the past, so she did not go with them.

The house was surprisingly well preserved, with three floors above ground and one floor underground. The exterior looked no different from when it was photographed more than a decade ago.

Since it had been empty for a while, there was a lot of dust and cobwebs inside.

The house was empty, with no furniture except a few ordinary office desks and chairs.

"This is the master bedroom where my grandparents lived. This side is the servants' room. The master bedroom on the second floor is my parents' room."

Ji Changyu pushed open a door with deep eyes, "I live here."

The man leaned his elbows on the windowsill, looking at the distant scenery and the slightly prosperous street.

When he moved out of here, he was not even as tall as the second window from the bottom. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and one day he will move back.

My grandfather is loving and kind, and my grandmother is gentle and kind.

Two gentle people gave birth to a sesame dumpling.

His father appears to be aloof and unworldly, but he is actually very sinister. He is the type of person who will sell others out and have them help him count the money.

He was often cheated by his grandfather when he was a child and was beaten many times by his grandfather.

In comparison, Xu Jiaan lives a very happy life.

Xu Jiaan sensed an ambiguous gaze, glanced up at him, turned his head away proudly, and hooked Xu Yao's hand.

"Are we going to move in here?"

He doesn't want to move because the house is too big.

Living in the slum, you only need to walk a few steps to see Xu Yao, but it is difficult to find people after moving here.

But he won't cause any trouble to my mother if she wants to.

"Why don't we move for now? We can buy some furniture first and come over here to play occasionally during holidays."

Xu Yao looked at Ji Changyu. Wouldn’t they be reported by others if they lived in such a luxurious villa?

This place is not very convenient for them to go to work or school, so it won’t be too late to move here in a few years.

Ji Changyu obviously thought the same. The house is here and it won't move away. It doesn't make much difference whether he moves in earlier or later.

The three of them strolled around the three-story villa and came out from the basement, which could be used as a garage in the future.

Then there is the backyard, a large open space covered with half-human-high weeds. They can slowly pull out the weeds, turn over the soil and plant flowers. When they move in, the flowers will be in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.

When Ji Changyu heard her say this, he remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather asked him what his wish was. He asked him to write his wish on a piece of paper and buried it in the yard.

Let him dig it out when he grows up and see if his wish has come true.

At that time, he admired his father very much, and his wish written down was to become a scientist.

Ji Changyu smiled when he thought of the past, said goodbye to them, borrowed a shovel from his neighbor next door, and dug it out one shovel at a time in the place he remembered.

The weather in September was still very hot. Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan were cleaning the inside of the villa. They had just finished cleaning two rooms on the first floor.

Ji Changyu entered the room carrying a small box measuring about 19cm*14*12.

"You bury your wishes in boxes instead of bottles." Xu Yao took a curious look.

"It doesn't seem to be the box we buried at that time."

Ji Changyu weighed the thing in his hand, and it was obviously not the weight of a piece of paper inside.

The box was buried quite deep, and he almost thought he couldn't dig it out.

My grandfather passed away early and left no words behind, but the box could only have been placed there by him. It is impossible for anyone who works here to leave without taking it with them.

No matter what's inside, just open it and you'll know.

Ji Changyu asked them to move aside and swung a shovel to break the lock outside.

Once the box was opened, the various types of jewelry inside almost blinded the eyes in the sunlight.
