[Chapter 232 Chapter 232 Jewels in prosperous times, gold in troubled times]
I don’t know how long it took, but Cheng Liyan walked back to the tree.
He touched the golden branches with his hands, and poked the thin and translucent jade pieces with his fingers, as if trying to confirm whether they really existed.
Afterwards, he sighed and said, "Wife, take it away."
It's really dazzling when placed outside!
For a moment just now, Cheng Liyan almost couldn't feel his own heartbeat!
He hadn't felt this way for a long time since the last time he saw that big pig head.
It's really unbearable when it happens out of the blue!
"Um."
Shen Yuyao agreed, and without any movement on her part, the tree and the large wooden box suddenly disappeared from in front of the two of them.
Even the box lid that Cheng Liyan had just taken off was put back into the space by her.
Cheng Liyan sat down on the bunk bed next to him, patted his chest with his hand, and sighed: "This General Chen made quite a fuss!"
This thing...
Cheng Liyan felt that even if it was sent to the Forbidden City, it would have to be treated as a first-class national treasure!
Is this taking over someone else's capital?
Robbed someone else's palace?
He wanted his wife to take out the letter from his second uncle and read it quickly.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard Shen Yuyao ask, "There are two more boxes. Do you want to look at them together?"
Cheng Liyan's heart thumped again.
He looked up quickly: "It won't be the same as this one?"
Shen Yuyao did not answer him, but said: "This is a gift from General Chen, and the other two boxes are from my second brother. Those two are smaller than this one."
Hearing that it was sent by his second brother, Cheng Liyan regained his spirits.
He waved his hand and said, "Look, take them both out and let's take a look at them together."
Shen Yuyao raised her eyes and looked at him without saying a word.
Then they heard two bangs, and two mahogany boxes half a person's height appeared in front of them at the same time.
Although the two boxes were not as big as the boxes of the royal concubines, they were not small either.
And it’s also very heavy.
The wooden bed on which Cheng Liyan was sitting was shaken by the vibration.
His heart skipped a beat and suddenly tightened.
An incredible thought suddenly came to my mind.
He didn't know how to ask, so he just turned to look at his wife and said, "Are these two unlocked?"
"It's not locked." Shen Yuyao said, and walked forward to open the one closer to the front.
She opened the box a little, took a look inside, and then slammed it shut.
An angry expression appeared on his face.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Liyan became curious.
"What?" He stood up and walked over to lift the lid of the box.
This lift made him subconsciously close his eyes.
He couldn't help but stretch out a hand to block his eyes from the golden light.
Cheng Liyan looked at the box, then at Shen Yuyao, then at the box again, and then at Shen Yuyao again.
A look of disbelief.
He opened his mouth for a long time before finally saying, "Fuck, is this how your second brother delivers things to others? Also, did they rob the emperor's lair?"
After saying this, Cheng Liyan immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate.
Before Shen Yuyao glared at him, he quickly reached out and slapped his mouth as a punishment.
Then he changed the subject: "No, I didn't mean anything else, I was just too shocked. Why did my second brother give you so much gold? Did he dislike me for being too poor?"
He pointed at the box, with a hint of grievance in his tone.
Although Shen Yuyao knew that the man did it on purpose, he pretended to be like this so that she wouldn't care about his slip of the tongue.
But she really didn't have time to deal with him.
At this moment, Shen Yuyao only felt the pain in her temples throbbing!
Looking at the box full of gold bowls, gold pots, gold bottles, gold beads, gold cakes...
Shen Yuyao actually had the same idea as Cheng Liyan -
Did my second brother seize the capital of Xinda Kingdom?
But even if we took over that country, we wouldn't have to give her so much gold!
There's no use for her having these!
While Shen Yuyao was complaining in her heart, Cheng Liyan had already opened the second box.
After opening it, I stared at the box of various jewellery, pearl hairpins, phoenix crowns...
Cheng Liyan was too lazy to even be shocked.
He just stretched out his hand to Shen Yuyao silently without saying a word.
Shen Yuyao knew that he was asking her for the letter.
He simply took out the letter that his second brother wrote to Cheng Liyan from the space, slapped it in his palm, and walked around him to look at the things in the box.
It was a box full of jewellery.
Even though she had already read the letter from her second brother, Shen Yuyao's eyes still felt a little warm when she saw the box of jewelry that was obviously carefully selected.
There is no girl who doesn't like jewelry, let alone a box full of jewelry like this, where every piece is exquisite and priceless.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but think of what her second brother said to her in the letter.
The second brother said that these were his trophies, and he picked each one of them personally.
The second brother said that he had asked his sister to help him many times before, which caused great trouble to his sister and brother-in-law. He actually always remembered all this in his heart.
He had always wanted to repay the favor, but the feelings were so strong that he didn't know how to do it.
The second brother also told Shen Yuyao to keep these things.
It is said that jewels are in prosperous times, and gold is in troubled times.
It is said that life is very long and no one knows what experiences one will have.
With these two boxes of things, at least her future life will be more comfortable.
Shen Yuyao has always known that her family is actually very worried about her current life, worried that she only reports good news and not bad news.
No matter how she said that her life was good now, her family members didn't quite believe her.
After all, in terms of material life, there is still a big gap between their current life and their life in the prime minister's mansion.
But no matter whether it was the parents or the eldest and third brothers, no matter how worried they were, they would only test them in a roundabout way and would never express it so directly.
Afraid of being unhappy.
Only the second brother.
Only my second brother, who is so straightforward, would do this.
I wanted to bare my heart to her.
Worried that she wasn't living a good life and had no money to spend, he did his best to use money to support her.
Looking at these things, Shen Yuyao felt sour, sweet, soft and numb in her heart.
On the other side, Cheng Liyan had already torn open the thick letter sent to him by his second uncle.
Looking at the war scenes and the fighting he had experienced described in the letter by his second uncle, Cheng Liyan felt dizzy.
That feeling made him even more excited than when he saw the golden tree before!
Cheng Liyan was so excited watching this that he really wished he could travel through time and space to have a good chat with the uncle he had never met!
Although he had experienced many battles, big and small, there had been no large-scale wars in the country since liberation.
Cheng Liyan had no chance to experience in person a war scene like the one his second uncle had just experienced.
Looking at the letter, he just felt itchy.
I even felt a little envious.
