Chapter 618 Night Pearl
Everyone thought so too, and the remaining boxes were all opened one by one, and all the contents were taken out.
"Everyone, separate them and check. If you find a layer in between, look for a hair-like thread in the gap at the bottom edge. Pull it and you will open the mechanism inside." Wan Quan gave the order while looking at the boxes.
"Yes, General."
Fubao was too small to do anything. She was so anxious that she ran back and forth between several people. She looked at this box, then ran to the bottom of that box to take a look. She was so excited. These were all money. She was rich. She was really rich this time, hehe.
"General, there is a mezzanine here." Banxia shouted excitedly in a low voice.
"Quan'er, Uncle Er has some too."
"General, I don't have it here." Bai Zhi compared the difference between the inside and outside of the box and found that the box was very deep and it was impossible for there to be a interlayer.
Wan Quan had just looked at the box in front of him, and there was also a layer of space inside.
"That means that among the remaining four boxes, three have interlayers. Banxia, Second Uncle, let's open the interlayers of these three boxes and see what's underneath?"
Wan Laoer and Banxia nodded at the same time.
Baizhi saw Fubao scratching her head anxiously because she wanted to see but couldn't, and she couldn't help laughing, so she quickly picked her up from the ground.
"Miss, let me hold you in my arms."
Fubao took the opportunity to hug Baizhi's neck, his eyes already looking at the box that Banxia opened.
Banxia followed Wanquan's method and pulled the thin wire hard. After hearing a "click", she quickly looked into the box.
Finding that the mezzanine was loose, she opened it and a dazzling golden light also shot out.
"Wow, Sister Banxia, it's a gold brick. We're rich, we're rich." Fubao clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes narrowed into crescents.
Banxia also stood up happily and looked at Uncle Wan Er and Wan Quan.
Wan Laoer and Wan Quan have both opened the mezzanine.
What was underneath Wan Laoer's hand turned out not to be gold bricks, but five exquisite small boxes.
Fubao looked at the light emanating from the small box, which was brighter than a gold brick, which meant that the things in the box must be more valuable.
Fubao was somewhat looking forward to it.
Wan Laoer couldn't wait to open a small box, and saw a night-shining pearl the size of a baby's fist lying inside.
"This is..." Wan Laoer was so shocked that he was speechless.
Everyone stared at the night-shining pearl in Wan Laoer's hand. It was the first time for Fubao to see a glowing pearl, and Wan Laoer had never seen such a thing before.
"Uncle, this is probably the night-shining pearl that others talk about, right? Baizhi, Pinellia, turn off all the lights in the house." Although Wan Quan had never seen it, he had heard many stories during his many years in the military camp, and this night-shining pearl had been mentioned by people.
Banxia and Baizhi immediately turned off all the lights in the room. At this time, the night pearl emitted a faint and gentle light.
"Oh my God, is this the Night Pearl? How could I get a Night Pearl? This pearl really glows and it's not dazzling. No wonder it's so valuable." Wan Laoer's heart was pounding. He glanced at the remaining boxes. Could they be all in here?
At this time, everyone looked at the remaining boxes in the box.
Wan Quan walked forward and opened all the remaining boxes. Suddenly the light in the room became much brighter, and it turned out that the remaining ones were indeed night pearls.
"Suck——" Wan Quan also took a breath of cold air.
He quickly covered all the boxes and the room returned to its original darkness.
After relighting the light, Wan Quan stood up and looked at the several large boxes on the ground.
His own one also produced gold bricks.
This adds up to three boxes of gold bricks and five luminous pearls. This amount of money is enough for their whole family to live on for several lifetimes.
Wan Quan's hands were shaking at this time. There was suddenly such a large sum of money in his house, and he didn't know where to put it.
The general's mansion did have a storehouse, which contained all the gifts bestowed by the emperor. Because there was no mistress in the mansion, those things could only be left in the storehouse, gathering dust with no one to take care of them.
Now that there are so many more valuables, he doesn't know where to put them. He can't let his second uncle and Fubao carry them back to the border, right? That would be dangerous on the road.
It is really hard to be at peace with sudden wealth and make people panic. When wealth comes, one should be careful to keep it.
"Big brother, give me money."
Just when Wanquan was thinking about how to deal with these properties, Fubao suddenly spoke and stretched out his little hand towards Wanquan.
Wanquan was a little confused.
"Sister, do you want money? How much do you want? I don't have that much silver on me. Do you think this is enough?"
Wan Quan didn't know why Fubao suddenly asked him for money, but he didn't ask much. He just took out his purse and handed it over.
Fubao took the purse, opened it, and poured out the contents onto the table.
Fubao counted the small change and banknotes, totaling three hundred taels.
"It's not enough, big brother, we still need 700 taels."
Wan Laoer hurried forward and stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Fubao, what are you doing? How can you ask big brother for so much money? Daddy still has some. If you need money, just ask Daddy."
"No, this money must be paid by big brother. You don't understand. Daddy, don't worry about it. I only ask big brother for it."
Wan Laoer was pulled behind by Fubao's wrist and looked up at Wan Quan.
Wan Quan couldn't figure out why Fubao suddenly asked him for so much silver, but since Fubao had asked, he couldn't let Fubao down.
And one thousand taels was indeed not a lot for him.
"Sister Fubao, I'll have someone fetch seven hundred taels right away."
"Quan'er..." Wan Laoer was a little anxious. What happened to these two people?
One dared to ask, and the other dared to give, which confused Wan Laoer.
Not long after, the accountant brought a silver note for seven hundred taels.
"Sister, do you think these seven hundred taels are enough?"
Fubao counted them in front of him, then said with a smile: "That's enough, big brother. I will take one thousand taels of silver from you in total. Everything here is yours. I came here today to save up the betrothal gifts for you. Fubao promised that I must let you marry in style."
Before anyone could react to what Fubao meant, he had already handed the 1,000 taels of silver to Wan Laoer.
"Dad, this money is what you paid for big brother today. I'm going to return it to you. These things have nothing to do with us anymore. They all belong to big brother."
Everyone then understood Fubao's operation, which was to clarify the ownership of this huge fortune.
Wan Quan disagreed immediately.
"No, Sister Fubao, these are all yours, no one can touch them. You discovered these. If it weren't for you, how could we have gotten such a huge windfall? These are your dowry. I'm the eldest brother, how can I take advantage of you?"
Wan Quan was both anxious and angry. He was angry that he did not have the ability to give Fubao something better, and he was anxious about how to persuade Fubao to change her mind. This girl was very stubborn, and once she made a decision, ten oxen could not pull her back.
