Seeing Manshu return home, Professor Yan's eyes fell on the iron box in her hand.
Professor Yan's eyes were sharp and he could tell at a glance that the iron box was quite old.
"It's an old thing someone gave me."
Manshu gave Professor Yan a look at the iron box.
“It’s indeed a bit old, but it’s pretty well preserved.”
Seeing that Manshu had no intention of showing it to him, Professor Yan did not open the box to look at the contents.
He handed the iron box back to Manshu and said suspiciously: "You are also interested in antiques, right?"
"That's not true." Although Manshu did not reject it, he did not deliberately learn to identify treasures.
She only said: "This was given to me by the director of the orphanage, saying it was a relic of that old aunt."
"The orphanage used to be the old residence of Mr. Lin and his old aunt. Maybe some things from their past have been left behind."
Professor Yan nodded: "Well, then why was this thing given to you?"
Shouldn't it be left to the descendants of the Lin family?
"Because they don't know that Xiaolong is a descendant of the old aunt."
Manshu didn't explain much. Professor Yan waved his hand and asked her to carry the things upstairs.
They are open-minded people and will not inquire into the details or pry into their granddaughter's privacy.
It was precisely because Manshu knew this that he dared to show the things to Professor Yan.
After taking it upstairs, she locked the door directly.
After opening the iron box, the first thing that caught my eye were two marriage certificates.
"Two surnames are united in marriage, and they make a contract together. They will have a good relationship forever, and they will have the same name. Look at the peach blossoms blooming today, and it will be a good home for you. It is predicted that the melons and melons will be abundant in the next year, and you will be prosperous. I would like to make a long-lasting promise and write to Hong Jian. Good morning.
The alliance between Hongye and Yuan Dynasty will be recorded." This is the certificate.
It's a very beautiful wedding letter, and it's well-preserved. You can see that we are truly in love at first glance.
There is also a photo taken when the two got married. The old aunt was wearing a cheongsam and Mr. Lin was wearing a long gown.
One is graceful and graceful, and the other is a gentleman.
The two of them are a perfect match.
This photo is a bit blurry. There was indeed no better preservation technology at that time.
There are also some other things placed in the iron box, such as a dried flower, a purse, etc.
Presumably, either the old aunt's favorite things inside are, or it was a gift from Mr. Lin.
There is also a small box in the iron box, and the small box actually has a machine lock.
Manshu really couldn't figure it out, and she was worried that brute force would destroy the self-destruction device of the machine lock, and then the contents inside would be destroyed.
Taking the small box, Manshu ran downstairs.
It happened that Professor Yan was about to go back to his room to sleep.
Manshu couldn't control that much and quickly called the person to stop.
"Grandpa, please help me take a look at this."
"What?" Professor Yan looked curiously at what his granddaughter was holding.
Manshu handed it over directly.
Professor Yan looked at it and raised his eyebrows: "What an exquisite mechanism lock."
Each machine lock is different, but the principles of unlocking are actually the same.
"Can it be opened?"
Professor Yan's mouth twitched: "Although your grandpa and I are quite knowledgeable about ancient culture, I'm still not good at things like machine locks."
Manshu suddenly died down.
Yes, how could a decent person like Professor Yan learn various lock-picking skills?
He is not a tomb robber!
etc!
Grave robbing!
Manshu suddenly thought of someone.
I can't sleep tonight!
She went back to her room to get a bag, put the small box in it, and then set the alarm clock to get up on time at two in the morning.
Then he went downstairs quietly without disturbing anyone.
