Chapter 245

After getting married, Ah Jin put her hair into a woman's bun, wore her favorite butterfly-embedded gold hairpin, and moved to the south house, leaving everything else unchanged.

She woke up in the morning, practiced boxing in the courtyard, had breakfast, and then went to sit in the front yard.

In the past, the aunts in the neighborhood would call out to A Jin when they saw her: "Miss A Jin." Later, A Jin participated in the prevention, control and treatment in the resettlement center, and her reputation soon spread. When the aunts saw A Jin again, they all responded. He changed his words to: "Xu Xiao Niangzi".

Ah Jin likes this title very much.

Because Lang Jun said that if someone calls her like this, it proves that she is ready to become a teacher.

"Mrs. Xu, you woke up so early?" Aunt Du, who was passing by Xu's house, was surprised to see the clinic in the front yard open. When she came in, she saw Ah Jin picking medicinal materials inside, and asked with a smile.

Ah Jin looked back, called Aunt Du, and said, "My husband allowed me a few days off. I was bored, so I came to see a doctor."

Aunt Du smiled and looked at Ah Jin who had changed her hair into a bun: "You can get used to it after getting married. ?"

Ah Jin was stunned, thinking about Er Qing's different behavior during the past two nights, and his cheeks turned slightly red: "It

looks good." Aunt Du, who had been here before, said with a smile. , "Young man Erqing looks like a strong man. Madam Xu will be blessed in the future."

A Jin: "..." Stop talking.

She used the excuse that she was busy with something, hurriedly stopped what Aunt Du wanted to say, and sent her out of the hall.

Seeing the person walking away, she let out a hot breath, thinking that she was indeed a shallow person, and a few words made her blush.

...

Ah Jin's marriage didn't change much for the rest of them.

Everyone still lives in the same courtyard.

When you wake up in the morning and go out of the house, you can see each other. After Xu Yi and Yan Quyue finished practicing boxing, when they went back to the house to chat, they mentioned that a lot of lotus flowers had bloomed recently on the lake behind the attic. The lotus flowers were gradually blooming and withering, and no one had picked the extra lotus leaves.

"These lotus seeds and stamens are good medicine. It's a pity that they are withered and ruined. Why don't we take advantage of the clear weather today and rent a boat to pick the lotus pods?" Xu Yi suggested.

Yan Quyue's eyes moved slightly: "I remember, lotus roots should be available at this time?"

Xu Yi said with a smile: "Yes, if we can dig lotus roots, I will ask A Xu to make fresh lotus root herbal tea." Yan

Quyue listened . , even more excited.

She had a restless temper and decided to go to the lotus room to dig out lotus roots. She walked around the house and soon changed her clothes, holding a fish basket and fishing gear in her hand.

Xu Yi called A Xu to prepare the car and come back. When he saw this, he didn't stop him and asked casually: "You want to go fishing?"

"Well, there are fish in the lake." Yan Quyue said.

When she stood on the attic and admired the scenery from a distance, she could see the fish that occasionally surfaced and bubbled in the lake. She had been craving for those fish for a long time.

Seeing her looking forward to it, Xu Yi smiled gently and joked deliberately: "If you don't catch a fish, your efforts will be in vain."

When he asked, Yan Quyue was a little dazed. She had not thought of this.

Looking at the fishing gear and baskets in his hands, Yan Quyue hesitated: "Should I take it with me?"

"Yes."

Xu Yi suppressed his smile and said, "At the worst, let A Xu fish, he might be able to catch it. "

With his words, Yan Quyue decided to take them with her. If she couldn't catch them, there would be A Xu and Er Qing.

Ah Jin heard that he was going to visit the lake, pick lotus roots from the lotus house and go fishing. He quickly changed his clothes and followed the donkey cart.

When they drove to the lakeside, Erqing had already hired a boat and was waiting for them.

There are already several boats shuttled in the lake, looking at the momentum, the purpose is the same as theirs, they are also here to pick lotus flowers.

"Let's hurry up, or we'll all be picked off."

"Hey, put your hat on."

"Goodbye, it's hard to move even with a hat on." Ah Jin waved his hand and pushed the hat Er Qing handed him.

Erqing froze on the spot for a moment, quickly put his hat back, quickly ran to the front, jumped on the boat, and punted for them.

Xu Yi came on the boat and asked casually: "There is no boatman?"

Erqing replied: "Hiring a boatman costs fifty cents a day."

He didn't want it because he thought it was expensive.

Xu Yi: "..."

Soon, Xu Yi's attention turned elsewhere. There were not many lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the lakeside, and the boat slowly swam toward the lake.

When passing through the lotus, he saw that the lotus was blooming beautifully, so he picked it and gave it to Yan Quyue.

Yan Quyue took the lotus and put it away, focusing on fishing. After getting on the boat, she began to fiddle with the fishing gear. She didn't know where the bait came from, and put it in a small jar. They were all freshly dug. earthworm.

Xu Yi was stunned: "Where did they come from?"

Yan Quyue said, "While you were waiting for the boat, I bought it from the old man next to you."

Xu Yi laughed dumbly, but saw Yan Quyue looking like she was going to show off her skills with these earthworms. His appearance and expression are more gentle. With these earthworms, you don’t have to worry about fish not taking the bait.

Arriving at the center of the lake, there were more and more lotus pods surrounding the boat. A Xu and A Jin tied bamboo baskets around their waists. They bent over and reached out to pluck the lotus pods and put them into the bamboo baskets.

The two men used their skills neatly, and within a short time, the bamboo basket was filled.

Ah Jin said with a slight regret: "The bamboo basket we brought is too small."

"Well, I'll change it to a bigger one next time." Ah Xu agreed and nodded.

After that, he changed positions and went to the stern of the boat to pick lotus pods.

Xu Yi sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, picking lotus seeds from the lotus chamber.

The green and round lotus seeds have a faint fragrance. Put them into your mouth and chew them. The taste is slightly sweet, with a hint of sweetness and astringency. After chewing, the bitterness of the lotus stamens emerges from the tip of your tongue. Come.

The taste was rich and magical, and it was very refreshing. Before he could row back, Xu Yi ate a lot of raw lotus seeds.

Thinking that he couldn't eat too many raw lotus seeds, Xu Yi threw the peeled lotus seeds into the basket.

As more and more lotuses were picked on the boat, Xu Yi told them to stop.

He stood up, took off his outer clothes, stared at the slightly turbid water, and said: "A Xu, you and I go into the water, and we dig the lotus roots."

A Xu whispered to dissuade: "Lang Jun, I will do it."

Xu Yi smiled and said: "I can swim."

The last time he jumped into the lake was to save people, this time it was to dig lotus roots.

The water in the lake was muddied by boats, and lotus poles growing closely intertwined. The field of vision in front of him was limited. Xu Yi held his breath and went all the way down, directly to the bottom of the lake.

He grabbed the stem in front of him and dragged it toward the mud.

I found a lotus root-like object in the mud and immediately pulled it out with all my strength.

On board the ship.

Yan Quyue and Ah Jin were a little nervous when they saw the two of them jump.

"Can they dig the lotus root?" Ah Jin craned his neck worriedly and stared closely at the place where they jumped.

The lake water there was even more turbid, as if something was breaking out of the water.

After waiting for a while, the lake surface suddenly bubbled, and the next moment, Xu Yi emerged from the water.

He wiped the water from his face and threw the lotus root in his hand onto the boat.

Panting slightly, he looked around, frowned and asked, "A Xu hasn't gotten up yet?"

Yan Quyue's heart skipped a beat: "...No."

Before she finished speaking, there was a gurgling sound on the water surface not far away, and soon, A Xu Xu also emerged from the lake.

Seeing him come out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A Xu swam to Xu Yi and gasped: "Lang Jun, there seems to be something at the bottom of the lake."

Judging from A Xu's expression, it didn't look like a bad thing.

Xu Yi thought for a moment: "I'll go take a look."

The view at the bottom of the lake was not good and the light was dim. Xu Yi swam to the place where A Xu said there was something, and only saw mud and lotus stems.

He pulled open the lotus poles that blocked his view, stretched out his hand to explore the mud, and after a while, he touched something different.

The texture is slightly hard, like a box that sinks to the bottom.

He and A Xu worked together to dig the thing out of the mud.

There was too much resistance in the water, and it took a lot of effort for the two martial arts practitioners to fish out the box, which was only the size of a suitcase.

Xu Yi and A Xu entrusted the box to Er Qing and climbed onto the boat panting. Their clothes were wet and clung to their bodies, smelling of the mud at the bottom of the lake.

Beside him, Yan Quyue handed him a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Xu Yi didn't bother to change his clothes. He wiped it casually with a handkerchief, and his eyes fell on the box in front that he and A Xu picked up.

The box had a copper lock with spots on it. The surface of the box was covered with a layer of slippery algae. It looked like it had been at the bottom of the lake for some time.

However, from the algae covering it, you can still vaguely see that the box is engraved with patterns and has gold on the corners.

This alone is enough to tell that this is not a box for ordinary people.

Yan Quyue frowned: "Husband, this box looks unusual."

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded, and he could tell.

Yan Quyue asked, "Take it back?"

Xu Yi said, "Take it back."

He wanted to see what was in the box and why it was at the bottom of the lake.

Erqing tried to lift the box and frowned in surprise: "This box is so heavy."

"Heavy?" Xu Yi was also a little surprised.

Erqing said: "It feels like it weighs dozens of kilograms. What is in it and why is it so heavy?"

Xu Yi said: "You will find out when you open it."

They did not stay on the lake any longer and took the boat back to the lakeside. , after returning the boat, he took the box and got in the car to go home.

Xu Yi changed out of his wet and heavy clothes and came to the main room after taking a shower. Yan Quyue, Ah Jin and others had been waiting in the main room for a long time.

Seeing him coming, Yan Quyue said: "I saw this lock. It's an ordinary copper lock. It can be split with a knife."

Xu Yi did not hesitate: "Then split it."

Yan Quyue listened, He directly pulled out the scimitar hanging on the wall and swung it towards the copper lock.

"Keng——"

The copper lock trembled violently and made a buzzing sound.

Seeing that the lock had not been cut off, Yan Quyue slashed at it several times.

The next moment, the copper lock fell to the ground.

The copper lock was opened, and Xu Yi bent down to open it. Everyone could not move their eyes away when they saw the contents of the box.

Is this a gold copper coin?

When Xu Yi saw the money, his heart suddenly trembled.

These gold copper coins are exquisitely made, with patterns such as stars and moons cast on them, as well as characters engraved in official script.

"This...isn't this the money we use?" Soon, Yan Quyue was the first to come to his senses.

She took the money and looked at it carefully. She read out the words cast on it one by one: "Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

Xu Yi took a deep breath: "This is the money used by the previous dynasty."

Yan Quyue raised her eyebrows in surprise: "But that's not right. I remember that the money used in the previous dynasty was all made of copper. These are obviously gold."

This box is full of gold. How much is it worth?

It seemed that if she took one more look, her eyes would only be filled with golden light and nothing else.

Xu Yi's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to recall what he had learned before. He remembered that his cousin who studied history once mentioned that during the Tang Dynasty, there were also gold and silver coins, but those coins were not for spending. , but used for royal rewards or for display by dignitaries.

Could it be that this box of unique gold coins was left in the lake by a nobleman from the previous dynasty?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi's usually calm expression became a little unsteady. If the previous dynasty was involved, this box of gold would be difficult to deal with.

He told everyone his guess: "This box sank at the bottom of the lake. Someone should have done it intentionally. However, it has been more than a hundred years since the previous dynasty. I am afraid it is ownerless now." After all,

they were talking about the previous dynasty . It is the Tang Dynasty, and there are still Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty. When Xu Yi thought of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, he thought to himself that the owner of this box was probably gone long ago.

A Xu breathed in and said: "We seem to have dug something amazing."

A Jin whispered: "They look so beautiful."

Each one is too exquisite.

Even Yan Quyue, who had seen a lot of good things, also looked stunned at this time.

Looking at the box full of gold, everyone was in a daze. After a while, they all took the copper coins made of gold and looked around happily. They had never seen so much gold.

Not to mention copper coins made of gold.

Only Xu Yi fell into deep sorrow when he saw this golden box and looked at the very attractive gold.
