Lu Jiaxin said: "If the other party does not want to sell their collection, it is okay if I cannot buy it back. If they want to sell it and I do not have enough money, I can help find a buyer and never let the items end up abroad."

Even if the price increases a thousand times, she can still afford it if the other party wants to sell it in the future. Predicting the future is her biggest trump card.

Xue Mao, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted and said, "If we sell it to Hong Kong businessmen and they take it back to Hong Kong, doesn't that mean it will be exiled abroad?"

Lu Jiaxin was speechless: "Read more books in the future, otherwise if people know how ignorant you are, they won't deal with you in the future."

After that, she explained: "Gangcheng belongs to our country. It was just leased to Britain more than 80 years ago. We will take it back in 13 years. Therefore, the people of Gangcheng are our compatriots. Selling it to them is just a transfer from one hand to the other. It is still in our country."

Xue Mao regretted asking for it. Just asking him to study made him feel overwhelmed when he thought about going to class.

Gu Wenfeng was very satisfied, but he did not reply immediately: "Miss Lu, I can't make the decision on such a big matter. I have to report to the leader first."

Lu Jiaxin secretly thought that it was a good thing that she didn't plan to mix with the system, because there were too many rules. Not only that, many people were particularly stubborn, and there were too many obstacles to accomplishing something.

After discussing it, Gu Wenfeng took the porcelains down one by one. It was also difficult to bring porcelains, otherwise she really wanted to take the two-handled porcelain vase back to arrange flowers.

Xue Mao said: "Sister, when you go to Pengcheng to sell paintings, what will you say when others ask you about it?"

Lu Jiaxin thought this was not a problem at all: "Tomorrow we will go to the antique market and pick out some calligraphy and paintings and porcelain vases to use as decorations. When buying paintings, I was lucky enough to find an authentic work by a famous artist. In order to make more money, I will go to Pengcheng."

The handicrafts she bought were used for decoration, and the calligraphy and paintings were hidden. Her house had a vegetable cellar, which was used by the previous owner to store vegetables. The ink sticks and inkstones were temporarily placed in the cellar. I don't know if the banks in Beijing have safe deposit boxes now. If they do, I will put them in the bank safe when I make money. If not, I will find a secret place to hide them.

After the discussion, Gu Wenfeng gave another suggestion: "Miss Lu, those two families will definitely sneak in after we leave. I think you'd better ask someone to help look after the house."

Lu Jiaxin said there was no one reliable.

Gu Wenfeng immediately responded: "If you trust me, I will find it for you. No need to pay, just give it to the two owners."

"Brother Gu, you are joking. If you can't trust me, then I really don't know who to trust."

The next day, Gu Wenfeng went out early, and Lu Jiaxin wanted to go to the antique market with Xue Mao. Unfortunately, Xue Mao disagreed. There were so many treasures at home, what if a thief came and stole everything?

Unable to convince him, Lu Jiaxin couldn't go alone and had to stay at home.

Xue Mao asked curiously: "Sister, how much do you think a painting can sell for?"

Knowing that he was not mentally strong, Lu Jiaxin said, "Twenty thousand as a minimum."

This time she planned to bring the ink painting, the longevity offering painting, and the five-clawed dragon ink block. She wanted 50,000 yuan for each painting. But for a painting like Zhao Ji, she would not sell it even if she was offered 1 million yuan. Once a masterpiece like this is sold, it can never be bought back.

Xue Mao couldn't speak clearly: "How much, how much?"

Seeing his reaction, Lu Jiaxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xue Mao, in the eyes of people who don't know anything about this, these things are no different from the New Year pictures sold on the roadside for a few cents each. Don't be nervous, just treat those things as ordinary things like me and Brother Gu did. "If you are so nervous, it will easily arouse suspicion. If we return to Sijiu City and fall into the eyes of those who are interested, then we won't be able to keep these treasures."

Xue Mao sighed and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister, those two families are not honest, so it's better to be cautious. Don't leave your family alone before returning to Sijiu City."

Lu Jiaxin knew his temper and reluctantly agreed. Fortunately, Gu Wenfeng had an acquaintance here, and the other party was quite capable, so he shouldn't have to wait too long to get a ride.

Gu Wenfeng didn't come back until after three in the afternoon, bringing back two good news. One was that Xie Kaixiao agreed to let him accompany Lu Jiaxin to Pengcheng; the other was that he had already asked for a ride, and there would be a large truck delivering something to Sijiu City the day after tomorrow, and Xue Mao could take this truck back then.

The efficiency is amazing.

Gu Wenfeng said, "Miss Lu, I want to deliver those eight boxes of books to the designated location. But you can't use big wooden boxes to carry them, or it will be troublesome if people see them. Let's put them in the study sacks, and I'll use a cart to pull them away."

The reason why they didn't just take the camphorwood boxes away was because the neighbors and the two branches of the Sun family knew what they had bought these days. If they suddenly moved out a few large camphorwood boxes, they would definitely be suspected. Once the truth was guessed, who knew what crazy things these people would do.

Gu Wenfeng brought 20 sacks with him. He put all the books into the sacks first, and put the unused sacks into the garbage. It just so happened that there was a lot of garbage from the house renovation, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Lu Jiaxin fully cooperated and even suggested putting all the boxes back into the secret passage: "Brother Gu, after all the boxes are put into the secret passage, the kang in the room can be built."

That afternoon, they finished building the kang. The next day, Gu Wenfeng and Xue Mao took the books and rice paper out with the construction waste, and two hours later they brought back six baskets of fruit.

After the fruits were brought back, the three of them started to work. First, they wrapped the inkstones tightly with oil paper, then took out most of the fruits and put the oil paper inside. As for the three paintings, Xue Mao put them in a luggage bag and carried them close to his body.

After everything was ready, it was past five o'clock, and Xue Mao went into the kitchen to cook again. Gu Wenfeng was also restless, so he started to clean up the yard.

Lu Jiaxin was too embarrassed to rest and was ready to clean up together, but was stopped by Gu Wenfeng: "No, go inside and rest!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "This job isn't hard, it's okay."

Gu Wenfeng was really worried that she would get hurt, as these wooden boards were quite heavy: "Go to the kitchen to help Xue Mao, I'm a little hungry..."

Lu Jiaxin was also a little hungry, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to help.

After dinner, Gu Wenfeng moved all the wood into the woodshed, which could be burned. The wood with carved patterns was washed and put into the house.

After Xue Mao cleaned up the kitchen, he also cleaned up the yard. Lu Jiaxin sighed, people nowadays are really hardworking. Unlike her, she didn't want to move after sitting.
