Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1304 A Few Treasures
Zi Ruo nodded and said: "Okay, let's go first, you go to work. Don't worry, I will take good care of Qiniang. Or you should let Xiu Ning follow you. If there is something urgent, she can run errands for you. "

Liu Ya called Dongzi over and said, "No, he can just follow me. This is my follower, named Dongzi. You can also find him if you have any errands in the future."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya went to say hello to Qiniang, and then took Dongzi to Tongli Yinzhuang and left first.

The carriage pulled Qiniang, Ziruo and Xiuning towards the outside of the city.

Coming to Tongli Yinzhuang, the guys here are very familiar with Liu Ya.Even though Liu Ya didn't come here many times, but in the accounts of Tongli Yinzhuang, the money has always been good.

Such a big customer has a special account from the head office of the capital, so the reception has been improved to a higher level.He directly led Liu Ya into the big room for honored guests.

Now Liu Ya is no longer the shopkeeper of the original counter, but the big shopkeeper of the branch of Tongli Yinzhuang in Anji City.

Liu Ya didn't say much when she came, she just took out the key that Qiniang gave her yesterday, and said, "Please, bring me the box that matches this key."

The shopkeeper took it over and took a look, then handed the key to Liu Ya, and ordered the staff to fetch the No. [-] box with the word "地".

When the box was brought over and placed in front of Liu Ya, Liu Ya couldn't help laughing.

It can be seen that this is indeed He Lianruo's idea.Only modern people will make the boxes that help guests keep their finances in the style of this safe.Only a combination lock is missing, and it is a real safe.

The box is made of wood, but the outside is covered with copper skin. It is estimated that as long as the copper skin is not burned by the fire, the contents inside will be fine.

There is still a seal on the box, and the date on it is not too old, that is, a few months ago.Probably the days before Liu Ya went to the capital.The signature on the seal is Qiniang's famous seal.

Liu Ya stretched out her hand to remove the seal, and was about to open the box immediately.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her, and said: "Miss Liu, please wait a moment, we have strict rules here, all customers with Tianzi and Dizizi have to open the box, and other people have to avoid it. Me and yours The buddy will go out first, and you can open the box and check it yourself. As for what was originally contained in the box, we don’t know. After you open the box and look at it, if you want to keep it, you must lock it , reseal the seal. If you're going to take the box away, don't."

Liu Ya said: "Let me see it first." She didn't know what was in the box yet, so she didn't decide whether to take it or not.

The big shopkeeper nodded, and took two seals from the side, wrote today's date on them personally, spread them on the table, and said: "When the girl decides to keep it, seal the box, sign on it or Seal it, and call us again. Ring the bell on the table, and we'll come in."

Liu Ya nodded and said "Thank you".The big shopkeeper went out with Dongzi, and closed the door tightly behind his back.

Being so mysterious, Liu Ya's curiosity was aroused, especially wanting to know what is inside.

However, judging from Qiniang's ability to save a box of gold and put it in the house, the value of the "Di" safe in Tongli Yinzhuang is definitely only higher than that of gold, not less than that of gold. .

Liu Ya inserted the key into the keyhole, and with a slight twist, the lock opened.It was much easier than Qiniang's gold box.

The lid of the box is thicker because it is covered with copper skin.But the hinges are still lubricated, so it's easy to push them off.

Opening the box, Liu Ya was stunned again.It wasn't the pearl baby in the slow box in her impression, but it looked a little empty, and the whole box was not filled.

Of course, there are still a few treasures, but they are all placed in brocade boxes one by one, so for a while Liu Ya didn't know what was in those brocade boxes.

She intended to come to find the pair of jade bracelets that Qiniang said, and she had to take what she wanted to give to Ziruo today and give it to Ziruo in front of Qiniang.

Liu Ya flipped it casually a few times, took out a boxy brocade box and opened it.Inside were bracelets, but not a pair but one; they were not jadeite, but white jade.The mutton fat jade, which is as moist as fat, still feels warm to the touch. This is an extremely rare warm jade bracelet, and it is really a treasure.

Open another box, and this one contains a pair of jadeite bracelets.The head of the water is full and the color is emerald green, as if it is a pool of clear water that is about to flow, refreshing your heart.What is rare is that the appearance of this pair of bracelets is almost the same, there is no obvious difference.In other words, this is a pair of jadeite bracelets carved from a whole piece of large material. The value of such a large piece of green jadeite is really inestimable.

Liu Ya couldn't help taking a breath.Just this white jade and a pair of jadeite bracelets are worth almost as much as that box of gold.I really don't know how popular Qiniang was back then, saving such a rich family fortune.

The other two brocade boxes are also treasures. One brocade box is more expensive, and when it is opened, it is a rough bloodstone the size of a fist.It has not been polished and carved, and the color is as bright as blood. If you look closely, it is still a landscape.

Bloodstone has been a rare precious gemstone since ancient times. Let alone a piece as big as a fist, even a stone that can only engrave a small seal on one side can be sold for a sky-high price.This bloodstone can be said to be something that can be met but not sought after.

The other box was the smallest, and when it was opened, it contained a jade-like blood clam pendant.Tridacna is a fossil of a large shell in the deep sea. Jade clam is more transparent and beautiful, with layers of pearly luster.

Organic gemstones such as coral and giant clam were more valuable than fine jade in ancient times, because the ancients had limited knowledge of the deep sea, so I don’t know if it was luck or sacrificed to get such a piece of blood giant clam. How many lives were lost.

Therefore, from the current point of view, the value of this piece of blood giant clam is actually higher than that of several other treasures.

Liu Ya took a deep breath, only took the pair of jade bracelets, and put the others back as they were.She doesn't have much interest in these extraneous things, and it may be useful to keep them, or to wait for someone who is destined.

Flipping through it again, there is a large kraft paper envelope and a booklet made of white sheepskin.

Liu Ya first opened the envelope, which contained house deeds and land deeds.The top two are from the land outside the city, and the other is from a house in Anji City.It is estimated that Qiniang bought it in the early years and planned to retire in the future.
