As soon as the box lid was opened, Su Qingci's breathing became rapid.
"Oh my god, oh ...
Su Qingci's pupils widened, and she immediately let out a duck-like quack.
The box was lined with thick straw, and in the middle was an exquisite porcelain piece, 25 centimeters high and 20 centimeters in diameter, with a pair of handles. It was hard to tell whether it was a vase or a jar.
"They're cultural relics," she said, turning her head to scan the various boxes of different sizes in the room.
His eyes lit up with immense joy.
There were words on the bottle. Su Qingci held the bottle by the handles with both hands and lifted it out.
"Bestowed upon Yu Qian, Grand Master of the Palace and Minister of War by Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu, in the autumn of the second year of Jingtai."
After reading the inscription on the bottle, Su Qingci looked it up and down. What a fine piece!
A snowflake-blue, white-leaf octagonal vase with carved dragon patterns, dating from the Jingtai period.
In later years, Ms. Xu Jia was once obsessed with collecting for a period of time. In addition, Su Qingci traveled with her everywhere and visited many museums, so she knew a little about collecting.
The process of making octagonal porcelain is extremely difficult, resulting in a very low success rate. Snowflake blue is a precious glaze from the early Ming Dynasty, which has been lost in later generations. Therefore, the unreplicable artifacts that have survived from the past are even more valuable.
The octagonal double-eared vase with inscription bestowed by the emperor before us is a masterpiece of the Jingtai period in terms of both its shape and glaze.
Su Qingci carefully held the bottle by the handle and put it back into the box, her eyes shining as she looked at the densely packed boxes in front of her.
These must all be treasures that Mr. Mike and his gang looted from China.
Excitedly, she opened the box next to her, revealing a gilded bronze Buddha statue.
Then we opened another box, and there was a whole box of porcelain bowls and plates.
Boxes of calligraphy and paintings, including manuscripts by the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi.
What shocked Su Qingci even more was that the largest box contained the head of the ram, one of the twelve zodiac animals.
"Weren't the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace looted when the Allied Forces of Several Nations invaded our country and burned the Old Summer Palace a hundred years ago? How come the sheep's head is here?"
Su Qingci recalled that in later generations, the seven animal heads—the ox head, monkey head, tiger head, pig head, rat head, rabbit head, and horse head—were acquired and brought back to China through Poly Group, a domestic foundation dedicated to rescuing cultural relics lost overseas, and patriotic businessman and gambling king, among others, at a high price.
However, the snake, chicken, dog, and sheep remained missing. Surprisingly, the sheep's head, which had been missing for many years, was still in the country at this time.
Tang tri-color pottery, wooden Guanyin statue, ivory fan, dragon-patterned glazed tile, Song Dynasty Ru ware, tripod of unknown age, various porcelains, jade ornaments, and even a batch of court beads of unknown age, as well as court robes and hats.
Su Qingci was secretly alarmed. Just who was this Mike the Russian?
After carefully closing each box, Su Qingci walked to the safe on the north side.
The cabinet below the safe was filled with all sorts of books and bills.
Su Qingci picked up the account book and began to read it, feeling increasingly distressed as she read.
Who can understand this?
These treasures, which were later bought back to China by patriots for sixty or seventy million dollars, were now being bought by people for a few hundred US dollars.
Many of them were even acquired for a few tens of dollars.
Even if the US dollar is valuable at this time, one hundred US dollars is only equivalent to one thousand yuan.
However, thirty or forty years later, it will cost the Chinese people tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times, to bring it back.
Su Qingci tossed the ledger onto the cabinet and turned her gaze to the safe in front of her.
"The password is quite advanced."
The Suqing porcelain cannot be opened.
They delivered it directly to the farm and used an electric cutter.
It took almost half an hour to cut open the first safe, and as expected, it contained bundles of US dollars, filling the entire safe.
It took another half hour to cut the other one open as well. Su Qingci's eyes narrowed with laughter. Half the cabinet was filled with gold and the other half with jewelry.
She's struck it rich! She's struck it rich! She could never spend all her money in a lifetime. These two safes alone would make it all worth it even if she had to spend a few years at sea.
She was just worried about upgrading the farm, and now this is like a windfall falling from the sky!
What is there for her to strive for in her entire life?
Thinking of this, Su Qingci didn't even bother to collect the contents of the two safes on the ground. She hurriedly left the farm, and with a wave of her hand, all the large boxes in the house were collected and stored in the farm.
"I love you, Mike, you old Russian! I love you too, Wang Zhongren, you old five-year-old!"
Su Qingci shook off her dejected mood and felt incredibly refreshed.
Looking at the empty room, I turned around and left for the next room.
“I love Bao, Bao loves me, Bao comes from all directions.”
Unfortunately, the next two rooms yielded nothing, but in the last tool room, we found our target – cruise ship fuel.
Su Qingci gave it a push, but the large tank was completely immovable. She then moved the wall full of fuel drums back to the farm before heading back to the control room.
Despite Su Qingci being a wealthy and beautiful woman with assets worth hundreds of millions in later generations, she didn't have many liquid assets. Most of her assets were real estate, namely farms, guesthouses, grasslands, and all the facilities and equipment on the farms.
She's never actually had the chance to experience a cruise ship, such a top-tier luxury.
After studying it for most of the day, they finally added oil, and then went to the wheelhouse to figure out how to start the cruise ship.
After fumbling around for a while, good heavens, she just couldn't do it, she had no idea where to begin...
My good mood from just now has completely vanished.
Relying on mountains is unreliable, and relying on others is untrustworthy; it's better to rely on yourself.
Now it was clear that she herself was even less reliable. After studying for a long time, Su Qingci dejectedly climbed to the top observation deck, hoping to see if any passing ships or search and rescue vessels were on the way.
As darkness fell, another day had passed in this way. The wind began to pick up again on the sea, and the cruise ship, which had not yet started moving, was rapidly heading in an unknown direction.
Looking at the dark sea, Su Qingci felt scared and quickly returned to the farm, wanting to avoid seeing it.
Let the waves carry her to Octopus Land; she won't starve, so there's nothing to fear.
I tried to comfort myself, but I was still a little uneasy.
Could it be that Wang Zhongren didn't actually send anyone to rescue him?
It's been a whole day, and they still haven't found her? Could they be so busy celebrating that they've forgotten she even exists?
If he really hadn't found someone to rescue him, he would truly be a heartless, despicable person living on government assistance.
She really believed his nonsense; so many people and so many ships couldn't stop a cruise ship.
With that kind of ability, I don't know how he got to the top position of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau, the chief of staff.
I checked the time; it was past 8 p.m., not yet time for bed.
Su Qingci was bored, so she could only sit on the gleaming marble floor of the living room and count her dollars.
Counting money is great; it reduces worries.
After she goes back this time, no matter what others say or try to persuade her, she will lie down, do nothing, eat whatever she wants, buy whatever she wants, and live a happy life as a fairy.
