Chapter 189 I Miss You
"That's good. Even if someone comes to dig something up in the name of the descendants of the original owner of this house, you don't have to care," Fang Yuan nodded. "Do you need me to help you open it?"
"Let me do it," An Zhiqiu found a thin iron wire from somewhere and poked it into the keyhole a few times. With a click, the copper lock was opened.
Everyone left at the same time, leaving the space for An Zhixia to look at it alone, after all, this was the house she bought. Speaking of which, if An Zhixia hadn't wanted to plant grape vines in front of the house, and Fang Yuan had kept this in mind and dug such a large grape vine that had already hung fruits from somewhere, they would never have started digging there, and dug so deep and wide, and they wouldn't have found this jade box.
Just looking at the box made of intricately carved black jade, they all knew that there must be something extremely valuable inside. But in their hearts, they were only excited and happy for An Zhixia, without any jealousy or envy.
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled. Money moved people's hearts. At this moment, everyone could be so calm and peaceful, but no one could guarantee that when they saw the things inside, they would not have other ideas when they were in trouble or the gap between them was too big in the future. So she did not say anything to keep them.
After all, the Fang family is separated from the An family by a layer, and Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang have more than just their sister-in-law as their child. Anyway, if something happens to the Fang family, she and her brother will not sit idly by, so why use these vulgar things to test people's hearts?
An Zhixia reached out and stroked the jade box. Although the jade box had been buried in the soil for who knows how many years, the delicate, cool touch and smooth texture made her feel happy. She took a deep breath and opened the box. The jewels inside were coated with a layer of honey color by the warm sunset through the window, emitting a bright glow, and the horizontal and vertical interweaving was particularly gorgeous.
She had owned a good deal of jewellery and knew a thing or two about these things.
This should be the dressing box of a daughter of a powerful family. The lid of the box is inlaid with a bronze mirror that has been polished to a smooth and clear state. There are carvings of flowers and branches all around it. There are three layers of small drawers. The first layer is divided into six small compartments, which are filled with various beautiful gold, silver and jade headdresses that are still as good as new. The second layer is filled with bracelets, bangles and necklaces, each of which is irresistible. The third layer is actually filled with a box of small and lifelike golden peanuts, which should be used by the owner to reward others.
An Zhixia couldn't help but take out each one to have a look. Women really have no resistance to gold, silver and jewelry. When she noticed that the length of the drawer didn't quite match the size of the jade box, she pondered for a moment, then she took out all the drawers and actually found a hidden layer inside.
She felt around the box wall and found a particularly round and smooth spot. She poked it and felt a slight sinking sensation. She continued to poke and poke, and after an unknown number of times, the dark layer popped out. It turned out to be a court bead made of 108 round and equally sized top-quality old Dong beads!
An Zhixia still remembers that in 2010, a string of imperial oriental pearls was sold at a high price of more than 50 million RMB!
An ancient woman who could own a set of court beads must have been of high status. Naturally, the jewelry she used was very valuable, and even a small part of it was more valuable than the court beads. It is very likely that this box of treasures could buy her an entire supermarket.
Although she already owns several courtyard houses worth tens of millions, she still has endless joy on her face. With this box of treasures to keep her company, she has also bought insurance for the supermarket, which means that in the future, she only needs to happily do what she wants to do without having to worry about making a living.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. This is not just a box of jewels, it's a stone that can help you pass a level.
An Zhixia thought for a moment, took out some jewelry from the box, and grabbed a handful of gold peanuts before putting the dressing box into the supermarket. She gave her sister-in-law a set of gold jewelry and a set of jade jewelry, and Aunt Fang a set of gold jewelry. The children all got a gold peanut, but the adults helped them keep it for the time being.
"Brother Yuan," she just spoke, and the adults' eyes were focused on her, "There's nothing suitable for you in that box. I only found this." She stretched out her hand, and in her fair palm lay a thumb-sized, exquisite imperial green Pixiu. It was soft, bright, colorful, and full of water, which made everyone happy at the sight of it.
Fang Yuan smiled and nodded, then stepped forward to take it. Even though An Zhixia quickly retracted her hand, she still felt a slight tingling sensation in her palm.
She couldn't help but glare at him angrily. Why was this guy always flirting with her?
"Since it was given by Xia Xia, I will wear it all the time to ward off bad luck and bring good luck," he said, as if nothing had happened. With his back to everyone, he solemnly wrapped the handkerchief up and put it in his pocket.
After planting the grapevines, they couldn't help discussing where to go tomorrow while eating. The palace, the besieged city, and Tianmen were the three places they had to visit. Fang Hongye brought a camera with him, so they could take a lot of photos and bring them back to the village to show everyone.
The guys discussed excitedly for a long time, and they also had to visit several large shopping malls and try authentic Kyoto cuisine. The men couldn't help but drink some wine, and the dinner ended when Aunt Fang was about to lose her temper.
After digesting the food a little, everyone went back to their rooms.
An Zhixia lay on the kang, squinting her eyes as she continued to look at the box of treasures in the supermarket. Housing is very tight now, and most of them are public housing or units allocated, so there are very few houses for sale. The seven houses that the brothers and sisters bought were indeed a lucky bargain. Within five days after others knew that they had kicked out the tenants, all the houses that were for sale nearby had been sold out!
Although the leaders raised the issue of housing reform in 1977 and 1978, Kyoto did not actually implement commercial housing until the late 1980s and early 1990s.
She would then buy a few houses for herself and her brother and wait for the housing prices to double. Just imagine swinging a ring of keys around the house, the metallic knocking sound would surely be extremely pleasant.
"Bang," there was a knock on the window.
Her heart almost skipped a beat, and she knew who was outside the window without even having to think.
An Zhixia held her breath and did not respond.
"Dong Dong," along with the knocking sound, the man's deep voice came in: "Xia Xia, I know you are still awake. If you don't talk to me, then I won't leave. When your brother wakes up tomorrow, he will probably be furious."
An Zhixia gritted her teeth, put on her shoes, put on her clothes and walked to the desk, "Why are you so shameless!"
He chuckled and said, "I missed you, so I couldn't help but come here. But you didn't seem to want to see me."
"I, I didn't," she stammered, "I saw that Lixi, Yanyan and Xinxin were very happy."
