Now that she's put in a lot of furniture, the two rooms no longer feel empty.
She used a room as a warehouse, filled with gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, some antique furniture, and the European-style princess bed she used to sleep in.
The other large room was filled with wardrobes, bookshelves, kitchen cabinets, and so on—all places where things could be stored.
Her wardrobe was filled with clothes, fabrics, sheets, and duvet covers for herself and her parents, while the bookshelf was filled with books that Song Ziqing's parents had collected over the decades, covering a wide range of topics from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.
Many of these were unique copies. Fortunately, the people who came to raid the house were illiterate and had no concept of the value of these books, which is why they didn't take them away.
Now that Song Ziqing has hidden these books in the ring space, she feels much more at ease.
Thinking of this, she also became worried about the safety of the treasure hidden in the cellar in the backyard. She planned to strike while the iron was hot and first go to the backyard to put those things into her ring space before she could feel at ease.
Without hesitation, Song Ziqing went straight upstairs and circled the second-floor balcony, looking around at the surrounding area of the villa. She was genuinely worried that her actions were being watched, so she felt she should be extra careful.
After looking around for a while and finding nothing unusual, she went downstairs and ran towards the backyard.
At this moment, Lin Chengyu, who was hiding in a large tree not far away, also noticed Song Ziqing's situation. He was also relieved to find that this time-traveling Song Ziqing was much smarter than the original fool. Not only did he know to check the traces on the wall, but he also knew to go upstairs to check the surrounding situation.
Otherwise, since his rebirth, he has always acted cautiously and prudently, not openly following her, but instead climbing up the largest locust tree on the street to keep watch.
Only then did she realize that Song Ziqing was also worried that someone was watching her.
Lin Chengyu felt that it was a side effect of the black stick he had used. He really did not expect that Song Ziqing's golden finger was something that recognized its master. Even if he wanted it, he could not do anything about it.
Judging from Song Ziqing's current appearance, he's going to collect the Song family's treasure. That's fine too; it's better for Song Ziqing to take it than for the Lin couple to take it. His parents and relatives are all people who want money but not him. Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly happy.
If he and Song Ziqing become family in the future, the treasures that Song Ziqing is currently collecting will actually be considered as treasures collected for him.
Just thinking about it, Lin Chengyu felt that he was really too smart.
Using the original owner's memories, Song Ziqing turned on the switch of the hidden cave in the backyard in less than a minute. After waiting for about ten minutes to allow some ventilation, he turned on his flashlight and slowly walked down the stone steps of the hidden cave.
At this moment, she had only one feeling: she had traveled back to the 1960s, and good fortune was coming her way. And now, she was on her way to find treasure.
The flashlight beam shone directly into the dark kiln, and Song Ziqing could sense from afar that the kiln was quite large, which made him look forward to the treasures inside.
After walking for two or three minutes, Song Ziqing finally entered the dark kiln. After scanning the area with her flashlight, she estimated that it was about a hundred square meters in size. There were about twenty boxes of various sizes and a lot of antique furniture inside. Song Ziqing had watched many archaeology programs in her previous life and knew that these antique furniture pieces would be very valuable in the future.
There is a saying: "First is yellow" (rosewood), "Second is black" (red sandalwood), "Third is red" (old rosewood, chicken wing wood, ironwood, rosewood, etc.), "Fourth is white" (nanmu, beech, camphor, pine, etc.).
The huanghuali and zitan furniture inside are the most valuable for collectors.
Although the specific materials, age, and craftsmanship of these furniture pieces are not readily apparent, the fact that they were collected so well by the Song family suggests that they have a rich history.
After examining most of the furniture in the dark kiln, Song Ziqing put them all into his ring space.
Afterwards, she opened all the boxes one by one and found that there were two boxes of gold alone, five boxes of silver, and two other boxes filled with gold, silver and jade. The large boxes contained smaller boxes inside each other.
Each small box contained a complete set of jewelry, including pieces made of gold and kingfisher feathers, Hetian jade, and diamonds. There were also two boxes containing colorful loose diamonds, the largest of which was a pink diamond weighing over a hundred carats, making Song Ziqing extremely envious.
There were also several boxes containing several sets of jade jewelry, including a pair of glass-type green jade bracelets, a set of jade jewelry with purple eyes, a set of jade jewelry with the characters for "fortune" and "longevity," and a set of jade jewelry with the character for "blue ocean." Each of these sets of jade jewelry was an absolute replica.
Just thinking about how the previous owner hadn't kept these jewelry safe and they had been stolen made Song Ziqing feel a pang of heartache.
The Song couple were university professors, and they didn't have much cunning or scheming. If their family were suddenly targeted, they would have no way out, and even their property would be at risk. Just thinking about it made Song Ziqing worry about the safety of the couple.
However, time was of the essence, so Song Zixin composed herself and turned her attention to the remaining large boxes. After opening them one by one, she found that five of the boxes were filled with porcelain. Some boxes contained only one piece of porcelain, which was big enough to take up a whole large box.
One of the boxes contained smaller boxes, each filled with small porcelain items.
What impressed Song Ziqing the most was another large box containing a complete set of blue and white porcelain vases depicting the twelve flower goddesses from the Qing Dynasty. Song Ziqing was delighted with the sight of it, as this complete set of twelve flower goddesses is quite famous in modern times.
Next, Song Ziqing opened two more boxes and found that they were filled with paintings and calligraphy, each one meticulously preserved without a single wormhole. She also smelled herbs inside, so she knew that these had been treated with medicine, but she didn't know what kind of medicine it was.
I wonder if improper storage will cause damage to these calligraphy and paintings when I put them in the ring's storage space?
Since she lacked relevant professional knowledge, Song Ziqing felt that she should take the time to learn more when she had the chance, especially since her ring space contained more and more antique-related collectibles.
Thinking about this, Song Ziqing felt that he should go to a bookstore before leaving Shanghai to buy more books, including those related to the college entrance examination and various functional books.
In particular, books related to agriculture, fisheries, traditional Chinese medicine, brick and tile making, and cloth making that are needed in rural areas can all be collected.
