The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 542: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (81)

Su Xiangran didn't really want to embarrass Xie Wanru right now, so she smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "This is a highly professional book. It's normal that my cousin doesn't know much about its contents."

Wu Wenyue didn't say anything else. She began to pick up the teacup gracefully, gently blew away the hot steam on the surface, and then took a sip of tea.

As the aroma of tea spread in her mouth, her mood gradually became happier. While tasting the snacks, she looked at Su Xiangran out of the corner of her eye.

At this moment, Wu Wenyue's eyes suddenly turned, and she asked with a smile: "Xiao Ran! The things in this box are prepared by your uncle, I haven't seen them yet! Why don't you open the box and let us have a look."

When Su Xiangran heard this, she was secretly happy, but a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

She knew that anything that her uncle sent troops to deliver must be a good thing, and it was just the right time to slap these two people in the face.

Just as Su Xiangran pretended to be hesitant, Xie Wanru beside her also echoed: "Yes! Cousin, let your sister-in-law also share in your joy."

At this moment, Xie Wanru seemed to be on the same side as her mother-in-law.

After all, she was also full of curiosity about this mysterious box and wanted to know what treasure was hidden inside.

At this moment, the adjutant had already carried the box to the warehouse at the back.

When he happened to pass by the courtyard, he stopped and handed the key to the lock on the box to Su Xiangran.

Seeing this, Wu Wenyue became even happier. She smiled and urged, "Adjutant Chen has come to deliver the key. This is a rare opportunity, so open it and take a look!"

Facing everyone's expectations, Su Xiangran took the key, took a deep breath, and looked at Adjutant Chen with some embarrassment.

"Madam, the Marshal has instructed..." Although Adjutant Chen did not want to offend Wu Wenyue, he still had to obey Cao Ce's orders firmly.

But before he could finish his words, Wu Wenyue interrupted him: "The master just told me not to open the box midway, but he didn't say Xiaoran can't open the box!

Sooner or later, we will know what is in this box. Why hide it? It is better to know it now than to know nothing after it is taken to Cao's house."

Knowing that he could not stop the Marshal's wife's decision no matter what, Adjutant Chen could only shut his mouth helplessly. He looked at Su Xiangran with eyes full of deep guilt.

Su Xiangran smiled slightly, telling the other party not to worry, then she gently took out the key she had just obtained from her arms, and prepared to insert it into the keyhole of the small and exquisite box in front of her.

Adjutant Chen turned around silently and waved to the soldiers carrying the large boxes, signaling them to first untie the ropes tied to the boxes, and then quietly leave the yard.

Looking at Adjutant Chen's cautious attitude, Su Xiangran suddenly had a strong premonition in her heart: the things in this box must be definitely not simple!

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then carefully turned the key in her hand. With a slight "click", the lock opened.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiangran gently lifted the lid of the small box, and a ray of bright sunlight happened to shine inside the box. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out.

Su Xiangran took a closer look and saw that the box was filled with golden gold!

The gold was cast into round cakes, each piece was the size of an adult's palm. They were neatly stacked in the box, emitting unparalleled brilliance.

It was not until this moment that Wu Wenyue finally understood why she had not been able to move such a small box before. It turned out that it was filled with heavy gold!

A box of gold. Of course, Su Xiangran's box is not that big.

Xie Wanru's face wasn't very good at this time. When she got married, the Xie family gave her a lot of property, but it was basically real estate and shops, or shares in foreign companies. It was absolutely impossible for them to simply and crudely give her a box of gold like this.

It is said that gold is valuable in troubled times and antiques are valuable in prosperous times. No matter what time it is, gold is always hard currency.

Wu Wenyue gritted her teeth and continued, "Xiao Ran, there is another box? Why don't you open it and take a look? Maybe there are better things inside!"

That being said, she didn't want to see anything better.

Su Xiangran understood her inner struggle, but why! She just liked to see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being humiliated. This preference probably came from the original owner's disgust for them.

After opening the big box below, I wasn't too surprised. After all, inside the box, there were many large, medium and small boxes stacked up, and they all seemed to be made of sandalwood.

Su Xiangran did not open these small boxes again because there was a booklet on the top layer.

The label of each box and the name of the items in each box are recorded in detail.

Small box A: Imperial green jadeite Pisces with a pair,

Large box A1: A set of Yuan blue and white porcelain.

In short, the big boxes in this box are all filled with famous antiques.
