There were dozens of boxes filled with jade and agate prayer beads.
In addition, Gu Yunyang also discovered that ten boxes contained top-quality old mine glass-type imperial green jadeite.
This is the raw material, a huge piece.
If this were in later generations, one of these pieces could easily fetch tens of millions, enough to make several small fortunes.
There were only two rooms left. Gu Yunyang walked through a wall and found that they were filled with all kinds of books.
"There are quite a few rare and valuable copies, and they cover various fields. Is this a medical book? The Classic of Tea?"
Gu Yunyang could understand.
In the homes of wealthy landlords, the things they stored for emergencies were nothing more than money and grain.
Besides rice, wheat flour, and corn kernels, which are used as food to ensure basic survival.
Other items, including jade ornaments, agate jewelry, silk brocade, rare books, gold, and silver, are all hard currencies that can be exchanged for money at any time.
These books served as carriers of knowledge; wealthy families in ancient times typically possessed extensive book collections.
Knowledge can be exchanged for money.
Only by acquiring knowledge can one secure a good job and a successful business, and prevent opportunities from slipping away.
As long as you can seize the opportunity, you will naturally make money.
On the other hand, rare, fine, and unique copies are all antiques.
Antiques in prosperous times, gold in chaotic times.
These are all very valuable; everything has been taken into consideration.
"Indeed, whether it was for a future comeback or as a place to preserve the family's wealth, the previous owner did a very good job."
Gu Yunyang pondered for a moment before arriving at the last room.
This room is filled with porcelain.
Porcelain is also a very good antique.
Gu Yunyang saw several of the more famous ones.
"Blue and white porcelain, Tang tri-color pottery—these are all antique porcelain pieces. And these on the ground, they might be slightly less valuable, and they even contained some water, though it seems they've mostly evaporated?"
Gu Yunyang found some traces of water inside, but there was no moisture left.
But it remained moist because the ground was naturally damp.
Gu Yunyang naturally put them away: "Afterwards, we'll assess them. If they are antiques, we'll keep them safe and sound."
If it's not an antique, then use it as a container; after cleaning it, it might be usable.
Or, it can be displayed as a decorative item.
People used to think it wasn't an antique, but in a few decades, it might become one.
Porcelain from the Republic of China era can also be considered antiques.
After tidying up, Gu Yunyang didn't open the door; he simply walked through the wall and into the corridor.
I carefully erased any trace of my arrival.
Gu Yunyang, feeling smug, climbed the stairs, then passed through the wall and left.
"Having inspected the three courtyards and settled on a place to stay, that should be about it for today."
Gu Yunyang was just about to go back when he seemed to sense something strange.
"That's strange. I have a feeling something important is going on. Is it about the birds left in Guangdong? Has something happened?"
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yunyang decided to return the way he came, go to the east wing, and use the portal to travel back to Guangdong Province.
After a bout of dizziness, Gu Yunyang finally got used to the aftereffects of time travel.
Then, a glimmer of light appeared from somewhere.
This is a secret room beneath his house, which Gu Yunyang specially built.
"What exactly is going on? Is this a message from the crows monitoring Zhou Zhigang? What are they planning to do?"
