"Wow -" Jinxi stared at the two half-empty large wooden boxes in front of her, dumbfounded for a moment.
She suddenly turned to look at Mo Linsheng who was cleaning the attic, "Uncle Mo! You know what's going on, right?" She grabbed the hem of Mo Linsheng's clothes and stared at him pitifully.
"Uh... Gege... I don't know..."
"How could you not know?! This is Lord Nan and your territory. How could you not notice that so many treasures are missing all of a sudden?" Jinxi said this, turned around and reached out to pick the treasures in the two boxes with an expression on his face.
He murmured with great sadness: "Who is the murderer who stole this girl's favorite treasure... Wuwuwu... My original collection... My Belgian documents... My coffee pot combination... Good morning
As soon as I found out, I moved them all back home and hid them..."
"Gege..." Mo Linsheng couldn't bear to look at Jinxi, and after struggling for a long time, he sighed softly in the back of his throat.
What can we do? Tell her that the "thief" who stole her two and a half boxes of treasures secretly and covertly was not an ordinary person, but the fourth prince?
Even if she found out, so what, she couldn't possibly ask the fourth prince to recover those things, right? Although, in his opinion, those old and embarrassing things, he really couldn't tell where the treasure was.
"Gege, I'm sorry, it's my uncle who didn't keep him in jail..." Mo Linsheng put down the broom, the prop he was pretending to use to alleviate his guilt, and helped Jinxi put the remaining two and a half boxes of items into a large wooden box, "Let's go
, uncle will help you take it to the carriage, wouldn’t it be much safer to hide at home?”
"I'm sorry, uncle, I shouldn't be angry with you." Jin Xi came back to her senses and thought that her unreasonable anger behavior just now was too unreasonable. She blushed with embarrassment and lowered her head to apologize to Mo Linsheng. She cursed herself, why?
You can really be like a five-year-old baby, fussing over everything!
Maybe Mr. Nan thought that those treasures were still useful and took them back specially. Uncle Mo happened to not be there and didn't pay attention.
After all, in Mr. Nan's eyes, he is just a six-year-old child, and the original books, mocha coffee pot set, silver tableware for two, and tall wine glasses that he took back are not suitable for his current use.
Alas, I can only say that I have no fate with those treasures. Watching Mo Linsheng tie up the wooden box tightly and was about to move it down to the attic, Jinxi stopped him: "Forget it, uncle... I mean, this box should be put there."
Come here." If Mr. Nan thought of needing to use something from his mother country again, wouldn't she stop his homesickness?!
"Gege?" Mo Linsheng looked back at Jinxi in surprise, "Then what if..." the fourth prince takes away a few more items?
"I like it here very much. If I put my baby here, I can come here often. Could it be that uncle doesn't want to see me?"
"How could it be... Gege is so cute and well-behaved, it's too late for uncle to like you, so how could he not want to see you... Uncle is worried..."
"It doesn't matter. Since other parts of the South Hall have not been stolen, maybe there are people like me who are reluctant to part with these treasures... So... Uncle, are there any extra cabinets in the hall? They are the kind of exhibition cabinets without doors." Jinxi gestured.
Looking at the size of the cabinet, I had an idea in my mind. Since Mrs. Nan would still be reluctant to part with these treasures, she simply took them out and arranged them neatly in the cabinet. This way, she could appreciate and play with them when she came over, and it was also convenient for Nan.
The adults can take back what they want at any time, so that they don't have to turn over the big wooden box to look for it every time.
"Yes, yes..." Although Mo Linsheng didn't know Jinxi's intention, he still followed his instructions and found a set of unused wooden cabinets filled with dust from the storage room downstairs.
After he cleaned the cabinet and moved it up to the attic, he found that the originally messy attic had been tidied up by Jinxi. After clearing out a lot of useless garbage from the attic, he found that the attic, which was less than five square feet in size, was actually very spacious.
"Uncle, can the cabinet be placed here? Then, I want to move this table to the window." Jinxi gestured excitedly when she saw Mo Linsheng coming up with the cabinet.
"Of course. I didn't expect Gege to be able to clean the room at such a young age. I'm looking down on you." Mo Linsheng smiled and arranged the cabinets against the wall. Coincidentally, this set of three-door wide wooden cabinets just covered one wall.
cover.
Then he moved the long, peeling small dining table in front of the only pointed window in the attic, went downstairs to scoop out water, and prepared to wipe the table thoroughly. Since the little girl was so excited, he was happy to cooperate with her. As long as she didn't
It's okay to just hold on to those things that were taken away by the fourth prince.
Jinxi was busy displaying the old but not damaged ornaments in the wooden box one by one in the cabinet.
Fortunately, Mo'er, who had returned home to report to Fujin and picked up the food box, went upstairs and hurriedly took over the work from Jinxi's hand.
"Gege, let me come." Mo'er pulled Jinxi to sit down on the only wooden chair, put the food box on the clean table, and at the same time did not forget to convey Fujin's instructions: "Gege, Fujin said, it's rare
It’s a nice day, Gege, let’s play some more. Just go back before the end of the day.”
"Well. After we clean up here, we will go down and have dinner with Uncle Mo." Jin Xi patted the food box and said with a smile.
Since attending the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace before the New Year, she has not been out of Ulanala Mansion. Firstly, the weather is cold and there is heavy snow at times. Secondly, during the New Year, the streets are also cold.
Now half a month has passed, and tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival. The weather is good today, and the temperature has risen. After convincing the cheap lady, she dragged her mo'er to go shopping. Halfway through the shopping, she remembered that there were two large boxes from last time.
I didn't have time to take a closer look at the treasure, so I simply came to the Nantang.
Who would have thought that after a month of absence, half of her treasure would be lost.
Wow, oh, oh, even though these two big boxes of treasures can be regarded as her windfall, now that they are hers, she still feels heartbroken when half of them are suddenly missing.
Those are all daily necessities and literary equipment from Belgium in the 17th century. If you put any of them in modern times, they are priceless cultural relics and antiques.
"Gege, what kind of treasures are these? Many of the slaves don't recognize them. Did Mr. Nan really bring them from across the ocean?" Mo'er asked Jinxi while placing the ornaments.
"Well, yes, these are the gadgets produced in Nanda's hometown. Are they different from those in our Qing Dynasty?" Jinxi sat on the chair in front of the table, swaying his legs, holding his chin, and glanced across
Mo'er has already arranged the ornaments.
A pair of simple and exquisite double-core silver candlesticks, a set of six printed insulated coasters, a pair of gold and silver double-engraved kettles, a somewhat worn story tapestry, and a ten-inch oil painting of Belgian town life.
A silver-inlaid photo frame, an oval copper-framed cut-glass mirror with a stand, and a mini copper dowry, so small that it can only hold a pair of stacked concubine bracelets, but it is so exquisite that you can't put it down...
"Gege, are these books also arranged on the cabinet?" Mo'er asked, interrupting Jinxi's appreciation. He nodded and motioned for her to place the remaining English books describing Belgian life and literature, as well as the only one.
This book contains five-line music scores and is stored in the lower lattice cabinet within easy reach of her.
"Hey, after cleaning up this attic, this attic has become a cozy little study." Mo Linsheng came up from downstairs, first delivering two armchairs with the same peeling paint, and then carrying three cups of hot tea.
, walked into the attic with a large tray of crispy sugar twists, and joked with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle. I will come often and never let them gather dust." Jinxi took the hot tea, thanked her politely, picked up a piece of Molin's self-exploded marijuana flower and chewed it, "Well, Uncle Mo
Your craftsmanship is so good, it rivals that of my Aunt Liu."
"Thank you very much. This is a specialty of our hometown. When I was a kid, my parents would fry a lot of this kind of cannabis flowers during the Chinese New Year..." Mo Linsheng smiled modestly.
"Uncle, are you from Tianjin?" Doesn't it mean that Tianjin is the hometown of cannabis flower?
"Gege is so smart. You can guess this. Yes, it has been almost twenty years since I left my hometown..." Mo Linsheng recalled with a sigh while stroking the cup of hot tea.
"Uncle, are you homesick?" Seeing that Mo'er had packed up, Jin Xi hurriedly waved to her, asking her to wash her hands in the copper basin and come over to sit and eat snacks.
"Of course I think so, but after so many years, my parents have long passed away, and my brothers and sisters have started their own families and started businesses, and their lives are prosperous..." Being alone, he didn't want to go back and make them worry more.
"Uncle, has he been working here all the time?" Jinxi was curious. It can be seen that Mo Linsheng was greatly influenced by Nanda people. Not to mention that this Catholic church is an imported culture from the West, the decoration inside is full of foreign taste, and
Seeing him bring three cups of hot tea and three chairs, he obviously does not treat Mo'er as a maid, but treats everyone equally, and I admire him in my heart. He must have been with Nan Huairen for a long time, and was used to and accepted the equality of foreigners.
concept.
"Well, it's been almost twenty years. When I was twenty years old, I went to Beijing with my fellow villagers to do business. I never thought of being deceived. Not only did I not make any money, I also owed a lot of debt. If Mr. Nan hadn't come to the rescue, uncle
I was taken away to pay off my debt a long time ago."
"Doesn't it count now?" Jin Xi blinked, a cute pear dimple appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Haha... This is of my own free will. Mr. Nan didn't want me to stay and repay the debt." Mo Linsheng smiled and touched the top of her head. When he turned around, he saw that Mo'er had sat down, but she was very reserved and warm.
He didn't dare to touch the tea and snacks, "You servant girl is sensible, but the master asked you to sit down and eat, so be cautious about what to do."
"Yes, Mo'er, did you hear uncle's instructions? Hurry up and drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up. This twist is delicious. Let Aunt Liu fry some for us later." Jinxi took advantage of the opportunity to teach this stubborn little boy.
Girl.
"Gege is also a good person. At such a young age, she knows how to be so considerate to her servants." Mo Linsheng smiled when he saw her deliberately sulky face and nagging expression, "After all these years, I have come from the south.
You see a lot of magnanimity and temperament in you that we men in the Qing Dynasty don't have. Maybe that country in Belgium is really more open than here."
"That's right!" Jin Xi blurted out without paying attention, and then smiled sheepishly at the two people who looked at her in surprise, "I really want to go to that country in Belgium and see it."
"Haha... Gege is so brave. However, Mr. Nan said that he would float on the vast sea for several months. Does Gege still dare to go?"
"Well...then...let's forget it..." She was seasick. Seasickness can occur even if you sit on a luxury cruise for just one day, let alone for several months or even half a year. Please spare her.
