Chapter 137 Valuable Items
"If we sell it, this calligraphy and painting can buy the money for the things in the brocade boxes we just opened." Jiang Hongyu's eyes were still fixed on the painting.
"So valuable?" Ye Mingzhu was really surprised.
It was difficult to estimate the value of any item in the brocade box they had just opened. If this painting could buy everything in it, how valuable would it be?
"The most expensive thing about this painting is that the painter is no longer with us. This can be considered as the last painting by Mr. Heishi." Jiang Hongyu tapped a small seal on the painting.
The seal is engraved with the words "Old Man Black Stone".
"Old Man Black Stone is the painter's name?" Ye Mingzhu guessed.
This name is really a bit strange.
"Yes, this painter was already over 40 when he became famous. He came from a place called Black Stone, so he called himself Black Stone Old Man. After he became famous, he painted no more than five paintings a year, and even fewer have been passed down."
"Not long after completing this final painting, Mr. Black Stone passed away. It is said that he gave this painting to his daughter as a dowry. Later, his daughter died unexpectedly, and no one has seen this painting since. I didn't expect it to be here."
Jiang Hongyu talked about his understanding of this painting.
"How long has it been since Old Man Heishi passed away?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
"About a hundred years ago," Jiang Hongyu said, carefully rolling up the painting. "We have to keep this painting. If people knew it was in our hands, many people would come to buy it."
Ye Mingzhu immediately made a judgment in her mind: the old man’s paintings on the black market = trouble.
"Let's take a look at other paintings." Ye Mingzhu didn't like trouble, so she turned her eyes to other paintings.
Jiang Hongyu opened them one by one, and his hands were shaking in the end. Each painting was priceless and a rare treasure.
I really don’t know how the original owner collected these paintings and hid them in such an inconspicuous courtyard.
Ye Mingzhu didn't understand painting, and these paintings might cause trouble. She curled her lips and opened another box at the bottom of the well. In an instant, the room became brighter.
This box was actually filled with gold ingots, and in the gaps between the ingots there were even gold leaves and broken gold.
Ye Mingzhu simply opened all the boxes, which contained all kinds of jewelry.
Jiang Hongyu put the painting away and checked the jewelry one by one. He looked up and said, "There are no marks on these jewelry."
That is to say, these jewels are hassle-free.
Ye Mingzhu's expression became much better. These things were of unknown origin. If it would cause trouble, she would rather not have them.
"Although there are no marks on these things, our current identities are not suitable for wearing these jewelry." Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu with a hint of imperceptible guilt in his eyes.
"If you want to bring it, you can only bring it at home and not let others see it."
Ye Mingzhu waved her hand indifferently. She liked jewelry and liked to look at it, but she didn't want to show off so many expensive jewelry in public.
She wanted to have a few more days of peace.
Jiang Hongyu didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to be unmoved by the jewelry: "You don't want to wear it?"
"I think it's a bit troublesome. What if someone steals such a valuable thing when I wear it on my body?" Ye Mingzhu was not exaggerating.
They live in a small town, and although many people wear jewelry, they only wear gold hairpins and jade bracelets at most. It's better to forget about these precious jewelry.
"Tomorrow, make a string and wear this warm jade around your neck. Wearing warm jade close to your skin is good for your health."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Hongyu picked out an inconspicuous jade pendant from a pile of jade jewelry and handed it to her.
"Warm jade?" Ye Mingzhu took the jade pendant. The color and texture of this warm jade were as warm as fat, smooth and delicate, giving people a glutinous and warm feeling. Holding it in the hand, there was no coolness at all.
"Okay, then I'll braid a thin string tomorrow and wear this jade around my neck." Ye Mingzhu touched it for a while and fell in love with the jade pendant.
"But how are we going to hide so many things?" Jiang Hongyu was a little worried.
Although the items are not big, it is still quite shocking to put them together, especially given their current status, they cannot let others know that they have so many good things.
Ye Mingzhu has space, let alone these things, even if there are twice as many, she can hide them without being discovered, but how can she say this?
"Mingzhu, do you have any good ideas? I think we can't find the things you usually hide." Jiang Hongyu suddenly said.
Ye Mingzhu looked up, her eyes full of surprise. Did Jiang Hongyu discover something? Did she reveal something in front of him?
"I think you usually keep things well, so there's no problem giving it to you," Jiang Hongyu explained.
He knew Ye Mingzhu had a secret, but she didn't tell him, and he didn't want to ask.
During this period, the relationship between the two of them has improved a lot. He wants to spend his whole life with her, so he wants to wait until the day when she will take the initiative to tell him the secret.
"You asked me to hide so many things. Aren't you afraid that I won't give them to you?" Ye Mingzhu looked at the jewelry sparkling under the oil lamp. These were not cheap things.
"You are my wife. I have no reason to worry about leaving the matter to you." Jiang Hongyu said as he touched her head.
Ye Mingzhu wanted to say that we have a contractual marriage, but for some reason, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Okay, I'll put it away then."
But something unexpected happened when I was putting them away. I don’t know if they put them in the wrong place, but some things couldn’t be put into the box.
"I'll find a chance to buy some more boxes. These boxes are too small and it's not convenient to put things in them. It's also not good if people find them." Jiang Hongyu was careful and was already thinking of a solution.
"Let's go out for dinner tomorrow. I'll pick you up at noon. In the evening, I'll find some yellow mud and smear the stove myself. This way, I won't bother anyone else."
Both stoves were smashed, and they had to find a way to restore them so that others wouldn't notice.
"When Yun An comes, if he wants to look for treasure in this house, don't restrict him. We bought this house with treasures, and if we don't look for treasures, people will be worried."
Jiang Hongyu reminded Ye Mingzhu.
I guess no one thought that they would find the treasure in this house on the first day they moved in. I guess not many people have such luck.
"Yeah." Ye Mingzhu yawned. The excitement subsided and fatigue came over her. She felt a little tired.
"Where are you going to hide these things? I'll help you get them there." Let's not talk about anything else, just the big box of gold, it's not light.
"Just take it to the bedroom, I'll hide it." Ye Mingzhu yawned and took a few brocade boxes.
Jiang Hongyu took the remaining brocade boxes, put them in the house, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to clean.
Ye Mingzhu closed the door, turned off the oil lamp, and when she raised her hand, all the boxes on the table disappeared.
