Lu Fengnian opened all three large mahogany boxes without waiting for Lu Ting to come back.

The first box was filled with antique vases, jugs, bowls, and plates wrapped in paper.

Lu Fengnian picked up a small vase and tore open the newspaper. Su Yan stood aside, looking at the color and pattern of the vase and the Yuan blue and white porcelain. In fact, she didn't understand much and didn't know whether the vase was authentic or a replica.

Lu Fengnian took a look and found that the bottle mouth was not rotten, so he wrapped it back in newspaper and gently put it back into the large mahogany box.

Then he opened another box, and at the bottom were six or seven pieces of yellowed rice paper.

On top of the rice paper is a small-leaf red sandalwood Go board, on top of the board is a Duan inkstone, and a small carved wooden box, inside the box are wolf-hair brushes of various models.

There are also several scrolls of paintings, but I don’t know whether these scrolls are paintings by famous artists or painted by Grandma Lu Ting herself.

Lu Fengnian opened a painting at random, took a look at it, and then slowly rolled it up.

Su Yan was still wondering why there was a chessboard but no chess pieces when Lu Fengnian said, "Xiao Jin, open the third box and take a look."

"good."

As soon as Lu Jin opened the box, he saw all kinds of fans, including ivory fans, sandalwood fans, silk fans and paper fans. Why did Lu Ting's grandmother like fans so much?

Did the ladies of noble families in the Republic of China like to hold a fan in their hands regardless of the season?

These fans are beautiful, but they are not antiques and should not be worth much.

Isn’t Lu Ting’s grandfather a fabric merchant? Why is there no silk or brocade in this box?

Lu Fengnian put down the scroll in his hand and pulled apart the pile of fans. It turned out to be two identical small golden rosewood boxes with magpies on plum trees.

Lu Fengnian moved them one by one to the coffee table, took out two small keys from his trouser pocket and opened the small boxes one by one.

There were silver dollars at the bottom of a box and more than a dozen large yellow croakers on top, which could be exchanged for money in twenty years.

The other box was filled with various jewelry used by Lu Ting's grandmother, including several strings of Zhenzhen necklaces, several pairs of Zhenzhen earrings, and several pairs of jade bracelets, silver bracelets, and dragon and phoenix bracelets.

Then there are rings, necklaces and gem brooches of all sizes

The most eye-catching thing was the diamond necklace. She couldn't tell whether the pendant in the middle was an emerald or a green diamond, and Su Yan was too embarrassed to pick it up to have a look.

When Lu Fengnian saw Su Yan staring at the necklace, he grabbed it directly.

"You are the eldest grandson's wife. There is only one diamond necklace. I decided to give it to you."

Su Yan felt her palms getting hot. She also had a diamond necklace in her own space safe, but this was a relic of Lu Ting's grandmother and it must have a different meaning.

"Dad, this isn't good!"

Hua Min smiled and said, "Take it! Your dad gave it to you, so just take it."

At this time, there was a loud knock on the door. Lu Ting came back, and Lu Jin hurried out to open the door for his brother.

Lu Ting threw two hoes into the yard, quickly locked the door and walked in. Seeing that his wife had a diamond necklace in her hand, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Fengnian.

"Dad, why did you only give this much to my wife?"

"Come and see for yourself how many treasures there are. The only diamond necklace is for your wife. I think this necklace is my mother's favorite.

I remember when I was little, my aunt would often nag my dad about how much money he spent on a diamond necklace he bought from a foreigner. It turned out she was talking about this necklace.

Seeing this, Su Yan quickly stuffed the necklace into Hua Min's hand and said, "Mom, this is grandma's favorite necklace, so I'll give it to you."

"No need, you are Lu Ting's wife, this is for you."

Anyway, if she keeps it in her hands, who knows if anyone else will have the chance to take it with her, so it’s better to give it to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Lu Ting took a quick look at the contents of each box and said, "Dad, let's bury the large box of porcelain and the small box of silver dollars and yellow croaker!"

"What about this box of brushes, inkstones, paper, calligraphy, and paintings, and the small box of jewelry?"

"The brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were distributed among my younger brothers. It seems that those paintings were all painted by grandma herself."

"You're wrong. Two of them are masterpieces. However, if the calligraphy and paintings are placed in a box and buried underground, they will be damaged. You and Lu Jin will each have an original masterpiece. Lu Chen and Lu Yu will suffer a little loss, and then each of them will get a few more big yellow croakers."

Lu Fengnian selected two authentic paintings by masters and opened them. "Please choose one. Remember to hide the painting after you choose."

"Yan Yan, you choose!"

Su Yan was stunned. She had seen art exhibitions but she really couldn't tell the difference between the original works of the masters.

"Just pick any one you like."

Lu Ting pointed to the landscape painting on the left and said, "This is it!"

After choosing the paintings, Hua Min pulled Su Yan to sit on the sofa and moved the small wooden box over. "Yan Yan, you pick out some that you like first."

"Mom, even though my eldest sister is married, we should give her some good things."

"There are seven jade bracelets, three pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, four silver bracelets, and plenty of necklaces and rings to share. Since you are the eldest daughter-in-law, this pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets and the jade bracelet are for you."

The dragon and phoenix bracelet looks big but it’s actually not that heavy. It’s better to get a full green jade bracelet.

"Mom, I accept these jade bracelets. Lu Jin and his brothers haven't married yet, so leave the gold bracelets to their future wives!"

Seeing that Su Yan didn't want the gold bracelet, Hua Min took out two diamond brooches and gave them to her. "I see that you really like these sparkling jewelry, so I'll give you these two brooches as well, and two pearl necklaces."

"Mom, that's enough. Leave the pearl necklace to my eldest sister and my future siblings."

The pearl necklace is even less valuable, not to mention that she has been worn before. Su Yan doesn't want it. A pair of jade bracelets, a pair of brooches, and a diamond necklace are enough.
