[Chapter 146: The Whole Picture of the Basement]
Qin Yian waved her hands, took out a handkerchief and wiped her neck, and replied calmly:
"Oh, it's okay. A spider just landed. I'm afraid that the spider will crawl onto my neck again, so I'm on guard. If it bites me, I'll get an abscess. I don't know if the venom was sprayed on me just now. It's not pleasant to get an abscess. Grandpa, you should be careful too."
"It's normal to have spiders in the basement." Qin Zhengyi handed the flashlight in his hand to Qin Yian, "Here's the flashlight, you light the way, I'll go turn on the light first. Fortunately, I asked your third uncle to pull an electric wire in for me to install the light."
"That's great, okay, I'll light the way, and you go turn on the light."
Qin Yian took the flashlight and pointed it in the direction Qin Zhengyi was walking, but in her mind she was communicating with the space carrier on her neck.
[My dear, are you dancing? Stop it, my neck is about to be broken by you, and don’t get excited. If you want to eat your fill, you have to listen to my orders. Do whatever I say, and don’t act without permission. These things are not mine. You have to be obedient, otherwise you can’t even think about anything here. I won’t help you to deal with it properly.]
Qin Yian first suppressed her with his aura, and then comforted her softly after he was done being fierce.
[Only obedient Baoer can eat good things, and there will be more good things in the future. I am your master and I will never harm you. I will only help you grow up quickly. Remember this, Baoer! 】
After a bunch of spicy and sweet words were said to it in her mind, the carrier on her neck calmed down, lying on her neck obediently, emitting a faint warmth.
The method of giving a slap and a date is really useful for naughty children. Look at the "consciousness" on the neck that is comparable to that of a naughty child. It has calmed down and is obedient and not making any trouble.
【That's right, this is a good baby. Wait, I will make you some delicious jade in a while. 】
The jade on her neck rubbed her hand, and the happy mood was accurately conveyed to her mind.
Over there, Qin Zhengyi walked to the place where the light was turned on and pulled the switch cord. The light above his head illuminated the entire basement.
Last time I came here to get some wine, I didn't turn on the lights. I just hurried in with a flashlight and took a quick look. Today, turning on the lights allowed Qin Yian to finally see the entire basement.
The space inside is quite large. Compared to the buildings on the ground, this place is only half the size. In addition to the empty space in the middle, there are many closed rooms around.
Qin Yian exclaimed: "Grandpa, you built a large and decent basement down there!"
"That's right, this house is passed down from our ancestors. This underground space was built when the country began to become chaotic. We thought that if something happened one day, we would have to save ourselves as an extra way out, so this place was built for refuge."
Qin Zhengyi exuded a sense of pride, and his voice was quite proud.
"So there are many rooms here. Thanks to that time, many of our belongings were quietly moved here and placed there. As a result, when things got more chaotic later, we suffered less damage and these good things were preserved. Isn't that a foresight?"
"Yes, especially." Qin Yian opened her eyes wide, pointed at other rooms, and said in surprise: "So those closed rooms are full of treasures?"
If these ten rooms are full of things, then the Qin family is really rich, rich as hell.
Qin Zhengyi smiled and shook his head, and told her the story in a good mood.
"Of course not all the rooms have them. Our family has a good pedigree and many of us have served in the army. We donated a large amount of money when the country was first founded, including all the family businesses. This is one of the reasons why our family can stand firm in this chaotic world and has not had to leave their homeland like some other families."
"Most of those rooms are empty now, with some miscellaneous items in them. Only the room with the jade shelf you saw before and the room next to it have some things."
The old man waved his hands generously.
"Compared with the family's former prosperity, what is left now is nothing, but it is enough for you young people to eat and drink for a lifetime. Look, our country is getting better and better, and these things will soon see the light of day. You just wait, girl. You will have a good life, and I will give you whatever you like."
What a great feeling!
Qin Yian clasped his fists happily and flattered her: "Grandpa, you are so nice. If anyone says you are not nice, I will be the first to disagree. Can I pick some nice jade ornaments to take back today so that I can learn more about jade culture?"
"Except for your grandma, you are the only girl who dares to say I am not nice to my face. No one else would dare to say that."
Qin Zhengyi was used to being "abused" by Qin Yian before. His tolerance and tolerance for her increased infinitely. He would not be used to it if it was not like this one day. He could only shake his head helplessly:
"I really can't do anything about you. Okay, you can pick the jade ornaments you like later, but the big ones can only be left here temporarily and given to you later. It's considered that you have reserved them in advance and they are only for you. You can take away the small and easy-to-carry things and learn while you look at them."
"I'll find my old books later and give them to you. You can take them home and read them. It's good to learn more knowledge. I support you, but you have to be careful about the impact after you take them home. Just read them in private. Although the country is doing well, the world has not completely returned to normal. You must be cautious."
Qin Zhengyi still had to remind him a few words, although his granddaughter's ability did not require him to say anything.
Qin Yian happily agreed, his eyes were already on the shelf in front of him: "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go over now, I'm looking forward to it."
The "naughty child" on her neck has been excited for most of the day, looking forward to the things over there.
"Okay, let's go." Qin Zhengyi pointed to the shelf in front and said, "The big ornaments are on the shelf over there. Go and look at those first. There are some more in the room on the left, including the raw stones. I'll take you to see them one by one later."
"Yeah."
There was no need to say anything. It was important to see the treasures. There was no need to be reserved at this time. The old man told her to choose whatever she wanted.
Qin Yian trotted over. The more she looked at the wooden shelf, the more she smiled. There were a lot of varieties and a lot of quantity. The most important thing was that the quality was excellent. There were many jade ornaments that contained the material energy needed by the space carrier. Every time
she looked at one, the heat on her neck rose a little. Qin Yian didn't need to know much about jade. Just based on the excitement of the natural radar on her neck, she could accurately know the quality of the jade in these ornaments.
The happier Qin Yian was, the more proud Qin Zhengyi was, and he was also very happy. When
he looked at a decorative object, Qin Zhengyi would explain to Qin Yian when the decorative object was made, under what circumstances, who made it, how the jade was obtained, what quality the jade was, what characteristics it had, and how to identify the texture of the jade.
Looking at them one by one, Qin Yian remembered the old man's words and learned a lot of knowledge about jade. He temporarily mastered some of the jade identification methods he had seen, such as the difference between chalcedony and agate.
The old man was teaching seriously. Seeing that Qin Yian was also learning seriously, he felt a sense of accomplishment and was eager to be a good teacher. He taught more diligently on the spot and touched the ornaments on the shelf without stopping.
Qin Yian really touched them without hesitation, and he felt more comfortable when he touched them.
"This pony ornament made of red agate is beautiful, but the name is not very good. The homophony is not pleasant. Red agate and "difficult red" sound a bit unlucky. Grandpa, I'll take this ornament back. It's just the right size to put in your pocket." After
saying this seriously, Qin Yian reached out and put the red pony into the diagonal cloth bag hanging on his body.
