My God, gold hairpins, gold bracelets, gold rings, and most importantly, they are inlaid with all kinds of gems.
Chi Xingyue picked up a gold-inlaid jade at random and looked at it in the candlelight.
The gold is of ordinary quality, but it is carved extremely delicately, and the green jade is as fresh as willow leaves in spring.
Chi Xingyue asked suspiciously, "Isn't Old Master Ling of the Ling family aware of this secret room?"
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Grandfather only told me at the beginning!"
Chi Xingyue gave a thumbs up, took out a broom from the space, swept away the dust on the boxes one by one, and then put them into the space.
They were all gold and silver items and were not afraid of being damaged, so Chi Xingyue placed them in the village committee compound.
After collecting them, I realized that my forehead was sweating. But I was so excited. One tenth of them were hers.
When Chi Xingyue collected them, he checked them with his consciousness, selected the box he liked, and dragged it to the meeting room.
She had explored the space during her afternoon break.
The three-story office building, the gatehouse, the restaurant, and the warehouse were all kept fresh. Only the village committee compound was alive; things would spoil, and the roses outside the gate would grow wildly.
When she heard the good news, she smiled. Besides the roses, the village committee compound also had a small vegetable patch, about 30 square meters.
If you have no food to eat in the future, you can go to that kind of place.
It's a shame there's no electricity, gas, or water in the space. I'm not sure if the functionality will be improved with a few more upgrades.
By the way, maybe because it’s the holiday, the kitchen has just finished purchasing supplies.
Rice, flour, grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all available. There are also various vegetables, fish, shrimp, meat and eggs.
Eight basins were filled with freshly cooked meals. Since it was not yet time to get off work, the dishes had just been served and were still steaming hot.
Chi Xingyue deeply felt that this space was enough for her to use even without upgrading.
So, put his portion of wealth into the conference room. Chi Xingyue decided to work hard and fill up the entire office building.
After the secret room was emptied, Ling Jiheng brought Chi Xingyue to the storeroom. There was not only money but also porcelain and cloth.
Chi Xingyue followed Ling Jiheng's instructions, taking some of the items away and rearranging the rest, making the room look just as crowded as before. However, their value was greatly reduced.
As the richest family in Jiangnan, even if the business has been bad in recent years, it is impossible for the family to be completely broke.
In order to avoid trouble from people coming from the capital, he decided to pass off inferior goods as good ones and pass off a small amount as a large amount. After sending away the people who confiscated the property, he would look for an opportunity to take back the Ling family's wealth.
Chi Xingyue also thought this was a good idea. Perhaps, they could even find the hero and heroine's lair and wipe them out altogether.
After that was the second wife's private vault. Before Shu Muyun married into the family, her family was also a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Although the Shu family had declined in the past two years, the dowry was still eighty-eight loads, and it was all fine goods.
After learning that the old lady agreed to her son marrying Chi Xingyue, Shu Muyun gave the key to the second room's private storehouse to Ling Jiheng and asked him to oversee the purchases.
As for the one in the public house, Ling Jiheng had begged for it. Shu Muyun, thinking that his son always handled things with discretion, kept silent. He only warned him not to let the first and third wives know about it.
Ling Jiheng actually has superb lock-picking skills, but in order to prevent others from knowing the true situation in the warehouse, he openly controls the two warehouses.
All I can say is that he did his best to preserve his family fortune.
After a round of searching, Chi Xingyue's purse was filled up again. There wasn't a trace of fatigue on his face, and he wore a silly smile the whole time.
When the sky turned pale, Ling Jiheng sent Chi Xingyue back to the guest room.
Remind her: "Rest for a while, I'll ask Erzhu to take you back to the courtyard. We'll do the betrothal ceremony in the morning, and go to the farm to collect your things in the afternoon."
Chi Xingyue nodded, closed the door, and lay back on the bed. This silk satin is so slippery, I almost want to take it away.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep. It felt like I had just taken a nap, and then it was dawn. Erzhu came over and called out, "Miss Chi!"
Chi Xingyue hurriedly got up and washed, then returned to the courtyard in West City accompanied by Erzhu.
Aunt Chen already knew that Chi Xingyue was the future wife of the second young master, and when she saw her coming, she bowed.
After welcoming the person into the house, the matchmaker arrived before even a cup of tea had passed.
Brought two geese and some other gifts.
Chi Xingyue looked at the goose, quite surprised. Shouldn't the geese be in the north at this time of year? How did Ling Jiheng get it?
If Ling Jiheng were here, he would definitely say, "Money, money makes the world go round!"
The matchmaker asked Chi Xingyue, "Miss, what do you think of the second young master of the Ling family?"
Chi Xingyue nodded generously: "Okay, very good!"
The matchmaker smiled brightly, thinking, "How could he not be good? He's the son of the richest man. If he didn't have a bump on his head, he wouldn't look down on you."
Things went smoothly and the matchmaker left soon.
Chi Xingyue felt that time was pressing and these were just empty formalities, so it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
But Ling Jiheng insisted on marrying her in a formal ceremony so that she would not be criticized in the future.
What could Chi Xingyue do? Of course, accept it!
After collecting the steamed buns, flower rolls, and cakes that had just been delivered this morning, he boarded the carriage and headed to the city gate. Ling Jiheng was already waiting there.
Chi Xingyue quietly got into Ling Jiheng's car and, driven by Yinbao, headed towards the Ling family's several farms.
The harvest in Jiangnan was average this year, and when Ling Jiheng heard his family was going to be raided, he immediately ordered his men to stock up on supplies. He had all sorts of supplies, even silver bills, which he had exchanged for gold and silver.
It’s just that time was too tight, and apart from the harvest that Zhuangzi himself had, the people below didn’t receive much.
However, there was no shortage of paper umbrellas, tung oil, saltpeter, sulfur, and quicklime, so we bought as much as we could.
The car was shaking and it took us until we arrived at our destination in the afternoon.
The people on the farm had been driven away by Jin Bao. Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue and went straight to the warehouse.
Rice, wheat, corn, millet, sorghum, soybeans, mung beans, black beans...
Collect, collect, collect, collect, don’t leave a single grain behind.
The next warehouse is filled with various vegetables and fruits, including cucumbers, beans, green leafy vegetables, peaches, apricots, plums, etc.
Collect, collect, collect, the whole space is turned into a big canteen.
Then they moved to another warehouse, which was filled with all kinds of fabrics, including cotton, linen, silk, and gauze, with various patterns and colors, which dazzled Chi Xingyue.
Collect, collect, collect, collect, put them in the office and the corridor, and you will never be afraid of having no clothes to wear again.
What else? All sorts of miscellaneous items. Pots and pans, sickles and shovels, brooms and baskets, not a single one was left out.
Ling Jiheng was afraid of danger on the road, so he used his connections to buy a room full of weapons, including knives, guns, bows, crossbows, and hidden arrows.
Chi Xingyue spent the afternoon collecting hemp. There were so many things that she could hardly put them in.
I don’t know how this guy managed to get so many things in such a short time.
