Shu Ying quickly and gently placed Yueyue on the bed in the space: "Yueyue, you sleep well first. Mom will tidy up the house properly. We're going to clean up the house today."
Shu Ying deftly removed the hair clip from her head and moved aside the words the old man had personally inscribed on the wall.
She walked to the wardrobe, a large pear wood wardrobe with a drawer in the middle, and a blue diamond inlaid on the drawer handle.
Shu Ying turned the drawer handle clockwise, and the wall that had been displaying calligraphy moved to the left, revealing a small switch. She pressed the switch, and the entire wall began to move.
The wall opened to a distance large enough for one person to enter, then stopped automatically. Shu Ying, holding the jade pendant, quickly walked inside.
The room was filled with a dazzling array of items. In addition to some jewelry, there were two complete sets of headdresses passed down from the palace. They were inlaid with more than a thousand diamonds and made of more than three thousand pieces of green jade. The phoenix feathers were topped with a perfectly round and high-quality pearl.
In addition to these, there are also some calligraphy and paintings that have been passed down for more than two hundred years, some of which have long been lost to the outside world.
The most exquisite item is an enamel refrigerator, its emerald green color remaining vibrant even after a century. It is inlaid with bright, round purple pearls, and the cloisonné enamel on the door is made of pure gold wire. The old man spent a lot of money to buy it from someone else.
When the old man passed away, he said that this thing should be passed down as a family heirloom.
When Shu Ying saw the refrigerator, her thoughts briefly drifted back to the time when her family was still alive.
"When Yingying gets married in the future, Grandpa will give you this refrigerator as your dowry, okay?"
At that time, Shu Ying was not yet ten years old, and her bright eyes were fixed on that beautiful headdress.
"I don't want that, Grandpa. I want that pretty jewelry to wear on my head. Then I'll be a little princess, and Grandpa will be the princess's grandpa."
The old man was amused and laughed heartily. He held her in his arms and said affectionately, "Alright, alright, everything in our house will be yours from now on."
Shu Ying pulled herself out of her thoughts, her voice heavy with emotion: "Grandpa, back then you told me that I must protect these things. Even now that our family has fallen on hard times, I will never give them up."
Shu Ying quickly waved her hand, and everything in the hollow layer appeared in the space.
The hollow spaces that were originally filled with display cases suddenly became empty.
Shu Ying's footsteps echoed as she walked inside.
Once she was sure there was nothing left inside, Shu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
With this jade pendant, we can both preserve these items and prevent them from finding evidence against us.
As long as they have no evidence to prove it, the charge of having a problematic mindset cannot be pinned on her, and it will not affect the children's father.
Once everything here was emptied, Shu Ying quickly came out and, starting from her own room, put everything that was valuable or not, anything that was usable, into her spatial storage.
Besides her room, all the rosewood furniture and yellow pear wood furniture in all the rooms of the Shu family should also be taken away.
Otherwise, if she left it here, it would probably be burned to the ground by those radicals. Rather than ruining such a good thing, she would rather keep it for herself.
If she can actually wait until the day it opens, she might be able to restore the place to its original state.
The old house in the space had the exact same layout as the Shu family home. Every room in the Shu family home was a perfect replica of the mansion, which made Shu Ying feel very safe, as if she was always in this home.
The Shu family did not experience any major changes, and she continued to grow up carefree, pampered by her entire family.
Once everything on this floor was packed away, Shu Ying felt relieved enough to settle Yueyue inside.
She put the hair clip back in her hair and began frantically searching through the house, layer by layer.
The white jade desk in the study, the mahogany bed, the cowhide mat, and the peacock feathers from the parents' former bedroom were all taken away.
The Hainan white wood openwork sandalwood dragon bed and the Suzhou embroidery jade screen worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in the old man's room, as well as the solid wood dining table with dragon and phoenix carvings and the blue and white okra bowl in the dining room, have all returned to their corresponding positions in the space.
Besides these, Shu Ying didn't let anything else go. The main building of the Shu family had three floors, and she took everything that could be taken, including kitchen utensils and lamps.
By the time everything was moved, Shu Ying was so exhausted that her mind went blank. Although she didn't have to lift a finger and could simply use her mind to pack things up, the Shu family's old house covered a large area, and walking back and forth was still a physical task.
Only when the old house was reduced to a few bare walls did Shu Ying truly realize just how well-off her family had been.
She used to think these things were just decorations, not very useful, just pretty vases, but now she understands their deeper meaning and value.
The Shu family has calmly weathered a century of turmoil, so it's no wonder they've attracted so much attention.
Shu Ying flipped through the precious medical records she had collected with her parents when they returned from studying abroad.
"Thankfully, everything is complete. Mom and Dad, I will definitely fulfill your wishes and become a qualified doctor!"
She wanted to study abroad because she didn't want to be confined to this old house. She believed that only by going out more, seeing more, and receiving new ideas and education could she change her current situation.
The Shu family's ability to become a renowned family for centuries is by no means the result of stagnation and complacency.
Shu Ying never expected that just because she had been abroad, she would be labeled as pro-foreign.
The Shu family is in a mess right now, and there's only so much Shu Ying can do. All she can do is try her best to collect all the cultural relics that need protection so that they won't suffer any persecution from people.
With a thought, Shu Ying neatly arranged all the relevant books, placing them orderly inside the mahogany top cabinet.
After finishing all that, Shu Ying put her arm around the stair railing, looked at the carpet under her feet, and placed it in the space.
This carpet is hand-knitted from pure wool, with an average of 3 million frames per square meter. Even the finest sand wouldn't get stuck in the seams, so leaving it here would be a waste.
In the living room, a photo of the old man and woman celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary still hung on the wall. Shu Ying looked up.
In my memory, the old lady always had white hair, but she always dressed very neatly. She always had a yellow hair clip in her white hair, and she always wore different clothes in the morning and afternoon. The necklace she wore around her neck also matched her clothes.
