The study, in particular, has a large bookshelf made of rosewood.
However, all the books and paintings inside had been moved out; it's unclear whether they were sold off by a spendthrift son.
"Look here." Su Xu looked at the bookshelf against the wall, where there were obvious scratches.
Liu Nian looked at it, ran her fingers over the scratches, and her eyes lit up. "You know, wealthy families used to have a secret room or something. Do you think this family had one?"
“I think so.” Su Xu tapped the wall behind him.
The walls made a hollow sound, not like they were solid.
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Let me move it and take a look." Su Xu put his hands on the bookshelf, used his arms to push his waist forward.
Liu Nian watched as the bookshelf was moved little by little, revealing the calligraphy and paintings that had been hidden behind it.
Liu Nian, puzzled, lifted the painting and took a look—
There was a door inside, locked. The lock looked very old. Liu Nian picked it up, examined it, and asked, "Did you break it?"
"Wait a minute." Su Xu opened his hand, and then a key appeared in his hand.
The master key he obtained from the spatial dimension could easily open any lock.
After opening the door, Liu Nian suppressed her excitement and gently pushed it open.
The door creaked open, and dust fell from above.
Liu Nian fanned the dust in front of her eyes and walked forward.
It was clear that no one had been here for a long time. The two turned on their flashlights and shone them forward.
Several large boxes were placed against the wall, covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Let's go, let's go take a look." Liu Nian excitedly pulled Su Xu forward.
She opened the first box and shone her flashlight inside.
The bright yellow thing in front of Liu Nian almost blinded her.
Piles of gold were laid out before them...
Liu Nian swallowed hard in shock. She had never seen so much gold in her life. If this gold had some kind of official seal, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one piece of gold could be exchanged for a house in later generations.
Liu Nian touched it; it was heavy. When he turned it over, he couldn't make out the words printed on it, so he decided to ask online later.
"My God, this family must have been incredibly wealthy before!" Liu Nian exclaimed in amazement.
Not only gold, but also countless antique paintings and calligraphy, as well as jewelry.
It is evident that the ancestors of this family had foresight and hid some things, but the descendants did not discover them and even sold the house.
Perhaps our ancestors didn't foresee that even if people in later generations were unhappy, they wouldn't be able to buy a house.
This is just one of the sets. Were there similar secret rooms in the houses that Wang Daguo sold before?
It's such a pity for Wang Daguo. He not only missed the opportunity to become rich in the future, but also lost his family's treasure.
But by a twist of fate, all these things ended up belonging to Liu Nian and Su Xu.
It wasn't safe to keep them in a sealed room, so Liu Nian quickly put them all into her spatial storage and carried them with her at all times for safety.
After tidying everything up, Liu Nian planned to go see Su Feng with Su Xu.
I bought some things and took the bus straight to Tsinghua University.
But when they arrived at the school gate, they unexpectedly encountered someone.
The man wasn't in a hurry. He quietly smoked a cigarette, the smoke curling upwards. His narrow eyes glanced at the people walking past him, his expression gradually turning to disappointment.
