Chapter 190 Gold Order? No!
She actually thought this matter was easy to handle, as long as she could gain Chen Tang and the others' forgiveness.
Unfortunately, He Zhong didn't listen to her at all. Her husband also felt that she, as a woman, shouldn't interrupt. Moreover, He Xu had been arrested as a suspect and taken to the detention center for interrogation. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the two men to apologize to Chen Tang? Not adding insult to injury was a sign of their kindness.
Mrs. He was very angry and cried secretly under her quilt at night.
It was He Zhong who replaced He Xu's child, and he was not her biological son. She was happy to see He Zhong get into trouble, but she didn't want him to bring harm to the whole family!
She felt at that time that He Xu would come out sooner or later, and sure enough, not long after, He Xu came out.
But during this period, her husband also dug up some trumped-up charges and tried to pin them on He Xu. Given He Xu's scheming, it would be strange if he didn't guess that it was them who did it.
Mrs. He felt that her life was really miserable. Her husband had no vision, and the son of the previous woman was always getting into trouble and dragging her down. If it weren't for that little bit of status and glory, she would have wanted to divorce long ago.
Mrs. He just asked this question. Knowing that the family did not want to leave the capital, she did not follow their wishes. After all, her husband's younger brother kept coming to their house to bother them, and she was somewhat unhappy about it.
"Dad knows it very well. You better leave quickly."
After Mrs. He finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Chen Tang and He Xu came to the old man's study.
Mr. He patted He Xu on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job this time."
He Xu was not proud, but just asked: "Grandpa, did you really keep the golden order that uncle and the others were thinking about?"
Chen Tang didn't expect him to ask this, his eyes widened slightly, he pursed his lips and didn't dare to answer.
Old Master He glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? There is no such thing as a gold token. However, there is a gold and jade inlaid ring."
He Xu suddenly realized: "So what I saw when I was a child was a ring?"
Jade articles are worthless nowadays, so he said that the old man really had something priceless. Given his personality, how could he possibly let the whole family know about it?
Then you have to hide it until you are almost buried in the ground.
Once such things of historical value are discovered, even if they are passed down from their ancestors, they must be nationalized.
The old man is not stupid. If he really had that thing, he would have handed it over before the news got out.
Mr. He sat at the desk and pressed the cabinet behind him a few times, and a box appeared in front of him.
With trembling fingers, he lifted the box to the table and opened it. Inside was a ring inlaid with red jade and gold, and engraved with intricate and exquisite patterns of four sacred beasts. Even after thousands of years, it was still stunningly beautiful.
"This gold and jade ring of our He family symbolizes the status of the head of the family. It has a history of more than 500 years. It was given to our ancestors by the first monarch of Liang State. But it is of no use now. Our He family has handed over enough things. This ring is regarded as the family jade emblem. I plan to leave it to you."
He Xu was surprised: "Really give it to me? If you give it to me, I can do whatever I want with it."
Seeing the look on his face that asked for a beating, Mr. He suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to take out the ring.
He blew his beard and glared: "Don't sell it, don't throw it away, keep it well, and keep my antiques well, they are all of collection value. Our current social situation will not last long. If we want to catch up with other countries, we will definitely reopen the college entrance examination in the future to attract talents and encourage business.
When the situation improves across the country, you will realize how priceless the things I have collected are.”
Shen Tang was surprised that Mr. He could see so clearly.
If she didn't know that this situation could only last for four years at most, given the increasingly severe situation today, no one would really know when reform would come.
He Xu put the things away and looked at the gold and jade ring carefully for a few seconds, then he saw the old man take out a piece of paper from under the ring box.
In other words, it is a distribution map of old houses in the ancestral home.
Each place is also marked with some symbols, which looks a bit like a treasure map.
"Please keep this picture well. When you have the chance in the future, you can go to your ancestral home to take a look."
He Xu saw the symbols on it that he couldn't understand and asked, "What does this mean?"
Mr. He coughed lightly and glanced out the window: "How should I know? Can't you go and dig it yourself?"
He Xu stared at the old man in thought, and the latter impatiently drove them away.
"Okay, I'm old, and I don't know when I'll die. I've given you everything I can. I also know that you don't have a good impression of your three uncles, but we are still a family. If they have any problems in the future, help them if you can. If they really did something wrong, don't be lenient, so as not to cause unrest in the family."
He Xu put away his things, feeling uneasy about the old man's words about "afterlife": "Don't say that, the doctor said that you are fine, just relax on weekdays, maybe you can see your great-grandson get married in the future."
Mr. He was amused by him: "I'm not an old bastard, how can I live that long? If you and your wife have two more children, I might be able to live two more years happily."
He had already heard about He Xu and Shen Tang buying condoms in the military region.
He had some opinions before, but when he saw that He Zhi, his little great-grandson, was so smart, and Chen Tang was able to rescue He Xu by his own means, his opinions disappeared.
What matters most is the quality of children, not the quantity. It’s okay if they don’t want to have children now and just want to raise little He Zhi well. They can’t not have children in the future, right?
Shen Tang and He Xu looked at each other, and He Xu smiled and said, "Then Tangtang and I will go to Shen's house to pick up the children, and we will have lunch together."
When people get old, they like the younger generation. Mr. He was the same. He smiled and nodded and let them go.
Before they even reached the door, He Xu put the ring on Chen Tang's hand: "Do you like it? I saw your eyes full of amazement just now."
Chen Tang touched its warm texture and nodded fiercely: "I like it, what a beautiful ring."
He Xu leaned close to her ear and said, "Then keep it. The old man told me to do whatever I want with it anyway."
Chen Tang was happy in his heart and smiled: "Put your box away quickly. If my aunt and the others see it, they might speculate something."
He Xu smiled and raised his eyebrows, then pulled her directly to his room, threw the box casually on the table, took the map, held her hand and the ring, and walked downstairs.
A group of people stared at the two of them, causing Shen Tang to get goose bumps.
Even with the gold order, trading in gold is prohibited now. It is too weird that the He family is staring at them for that little thing.
Chen Tang thought, could it be because of that picture? That picture does look a bit like a treasure map.
The two of them came all the way to Shen's house. Shen Tang took the jade ring on his hand and the map in his hand upstairs and found a box to put in his military bag.
