Mrs. Luo said: "Mom, I can tell you that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family is nothing but good-looking. She graduated from junior high school, worked as a teacher in their village, and had to work in the fields during the holidays. Only that woman Han Peiyun would accept it if she was heartless. I wouldn't be able to look down on such a daughter-in-law." Luo Yuting was persuaded and coaxed by her mother to go back to her room, but Mrs. Luo fell into deep thought.
Mr. Luo of the Luo family and Mr. Xu have the same rank, but because they are a few years older than Mr. Xu, they have retired from their positions early. They say that people are in love, and the husband's originally smooth career followed the retirement of the old man. , suddenly drew the pause sign, and it has not been touched for several years.
Xu Jing, on the other hand, although he joined politics, has been rising through the ranks in the past few years. His eldest son has already become the official at a young age, his daughter married into the He family, which is a family with a higher status than theirs, and Xu Yansheng is the only one left. This younger son, originally thought that she, Han Peiyun, would definitely find a well-matched wife for her son, but as a result, the boy actually married a country girl.
If a family like theirs marries a country girl as their daughter-in-law, isn't this simply causing trouble for the family?
Han Peiyun, Han Peiyun, I really overestimated her before, but now I see that it’s nothing more than that!
Just as she was thinking about something, the phone at home rang. Mrs. Luo answered the phone and heard her eldest son's voice on the other side: "Mom, let's go home for dinner tonight and ask Auntie to cook two of my son's favorite dishes."
When Mrs. Luo heard that her grandson was coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I got it. I guarantee that my grandson will be satisfied with the food."
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Luo called her aunt to give her instructions, and then called her husband to ask him to go home at night.
…
In the Xu family, Ning Yue had a good sleep in the afternoon. When she woke up, it was already dark outside. She quickly sat up and was about to get out of bed when Xu Yansheng hugged her waist and said, "What's the hurry? Big brother wants to do it tonight too." Come back, it will be at least six-thirty until he gets home, it's only around five o'clock now, it's not too late."
"Will eldest brother come back every night?"
Xu Yansheng: "How is that possible? He was just transferred back to the Beijing Military Region last year. He usually lives in the dormitory when he has nothing to do, so he doesn't run home every day. Doesn't he know that we are back? He can't ask for leave at noon, so it's normal to come back in the evening!
But you have to work harder."
By the way, grandpa gave you a box, open it and see if you like it."
He thought that with his great-grandfather's mind, even if he was really robbed, the things lost would be limited. Even if he was deliberately robbed, the important things must have been put away.
How can we miss out on the good things from our ancestors?
Grandpa is definitely not stupid if he can pass the examination at a young age. How can he not leave any backup plan?
Otherwise, my grandfather had gone to join the army at that time, and his great-grandfather had passed away when he came back. Then where did the things in this box come from?
"Are you stupid? Sooner or later, the old man's things belong to our three brothers. Don't give them up for free. We just don't wear them. We can just take them out and look at them from time to time.
Xu Yansheng smiled and said: "Oh, you are quite discerning. Going back a few generations, some of our Xu family ancestors served as Minister of Rites and Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Two years before my grandfather was born, my great-grandfather was admitted to the Juren Examination, but later Because I was too young, I did not continue to take the scientific examination. I wanted to wait three years before coming back, but unfortunately the Qing Dynasty fell later, otherwise our family would probably have another Jinshi."
These are different from the jewelry from this and that family in later generations. These are all antiques.
When grandpa talked to outsiders, he always said that the family was robbed. As for whether it was really robbed and whether all the family property was robbed, who knows?
Taking the earring, she touched her ear with one hand and put it on with the other hand. Xu Yansheng also thoughtfully got out of bed and gave her a small mirror.
In this foot-long box, there are three pairs of jade bracelets alone, three pairs of gold inlaid with gems, three pairs of silver inlaid with gems, two jade pendants of mutton-fat white jade, three green hair ornaments, and ten rings of various types. A beaded hairpin made by Dongzhu, and several pairs of earrings made of various gemstones!
"Then shouldn't the old man give me some rare ancient books? Why are there so many jewelry here? Besides, aren't there too many of these things?"
It is no exaggeration to say that each of these things can be sold for a sky-high price in future generations!
As for the original copies of ancient books, our house was robbed and all the paper items were destroyed."
Ning Yue: "Don't mess around. These things are hot enough. Don't worry about the others."
It was a coincidence that because their family property was robbed, their great-grandfather went to a gambling house to gamble with others. As a result, he lost all the remaining shops and all the fields, and was kicked out of the mansion. , living in a shabby house that their servants used to find too shabby.
Xu Yansheng raised his eyebrows. The Xu family had many high-ranking officials. Not to mention the Minister of Rites, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was the governor-general of Fujian. The two local admirals of Zhejiang were in charge of military affairs, food and salary, river management and governor affairs. They were the nine highest-ranking feudal lords in the Qing Dynasty. One of the ministers.
Ning Yue wondered: "How can I work hard?"
At that time, I don’t know how many people who didn’t like their family were so angry!
So, she became rich overnight!
"It's just a matter of your will, just keep it for now, maybe these things will become valuable in some time!"
He could easily give his wife a box, so she knew that the old man would have a lot of good things in his hands!
Xu Yansheng rummaged through the box twice, then picked out a pair of pink gemstone-encrusted gold earrings and placed them on her ears. "These are really pretty. Let's try them on."
Only then did Ning Yue notice the ebony box placed next to the pillow. There were some simple patterns carved on the box. The box was not locked. She reached out and opened the lid, revealing the contents.
Ning Yue's body really has ears and eyes. It seems that her biological mother used needles to prick her and Da Ya together when they were young. After pricking them, they wore them with sewing thread. Later, they were just leaf stalks. After wearing them for several years, they are what they are now. Even if you don't wear ears and eyes, you won't grow old.
"If you like it, I'll find a way to get more from grandpa in the future."
Ning Yue looked at herself in the mirror and nodded affirmatively, "It looks good. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely wear all these jewelry!"
"What did our ancestors do?"
Xu Yansheng glanced at her belly meaningfully.
Ning Yue:......
She picked up the soft pillow and threw it towards him, making Xu Yansheng laugh so happily.
Near six o'clock, the sound of two engines came from outside the courtyard gate, and my father Xu Jing and my eldest brother Xu Yanjie returned home for a rare moment.
