Cheng Liyan knew that the "golden branches and jade leaves" his wife was talking about was the war trophy that General Chen had given them.
It was their invincible army that broke through the enemy's capital and found the treasures in the enemy's royal palace treasury.
The tree reached a height of 1.8 meters and was made entirely of gold. Its leaves were made of flawless jasper, and its branches and leaves were intertwined with various gemstones as fruit.
The value of the tree itself is inestimable, not to mention its value as a work of art.
Even Cheng Liyan was amazed by the superb technique.
A tree like that is a priceless treasure even in Wushuang Country, not to mention in China.
Putting aside the value of the materials used, the manufacturing technique and style, which are completely different from Chinese handicrafts, are worth studying.
A tree like this would cause a sensation even if it were sent to the National Museum!
Cheng Liyan felt that no matter how good the house was, it was not worth exchanging it for "golden branches and jade leaves".
Just as he was about to express his thoughts, he heard Shen Yuyao continue: "Of course, I definitely won't exchange it with the landlord. I plan to exchange my wealth with the country."
"Exchange with the country?" Cheng Liyan raised his eyebrows.
Shen Yuyao answered as a matter of course: "Of course! I can't exchange it with the landlord. Did you hear what that elder sister said today? That family has gone abroad. If I exchange my precious daughter for him, wouldn't that be a national treasure being leaked out?"
Even if it is a national treasure of unparalleled national importance, it cannot be transferred to other countries!
Besides, what's the point of me exchanging money with him? We're not short of money. If I really want to buy that house, I can just give him money, even gold.
Why should I give him the baby?"
The thing that Shen Yuyao's "small treasury" has the most is gold.
Not to mention how much her family and the emperor gave her.
As for my brother and those wealthy military officers, such as General Chen, they gave a lot.
Shen Yuyao had always suspected that it was her brother who spread the news. The legend of the goddess' love for money must have been secretly spread among the military officers of Wushuang Country.
Why is it that whenever they ask her for something, they give her gold, silver and jewelry?
Whenever I think of my brother Shen Yuyao, I get a headache.
Ever since he gave Xiaoyi a solid golden horse as a greeting gift when he came that year, it was as if some incredible mechanism had been opened.
After that, every year when he sent people back as New Year gifts, they would always include two solid gold nuggets.
Xiaoyi and Nanxi both have it.
She now estimated that all ten zodiac signs should be gathered, and even a few of the great mythical beasts should be almost there.
With this gold, she could just melt some or take it out directly to buy the house. Why would she have to take out the treasure?
Although she knew her husband must understand her thoughts, Shen Yuyao still explained sincerely: "If I want to exchange myself, I will exchange it with the country, and I will definitely not exchange it with a private individual.
I've actually had this idea all along, for a long time.
As for those golden branches and jade leaves... to be honest, I think it's a shame for us to keep them.
Its value should not be buried.
Such treasures should be displayed so that more people can see them and appreciate their beauty."
As the country's policies became better and better, Shen Yuyao had actually thought about donating it several times.
They are not short of money. Not only that, they also have space and other things. Their descendants don't have to do anything, and they can support them for more than ten generations.
In this situation, money no longer means much to Shen Yuyao.
