《There is Room For Rebirth of the Military Wife》166-170

166. Promise
The stone has been familiar with finding the switch.
Immediately in front of him, another secret room about one hundred square meters and four meters high appeared, and there were dozens of boxes piled up in this secret room.
"There's nowhere else, the exit is in the cellar." The stone pointed to a place.
"There is actually a cellar at home? Where is it?" Lu Aiguo's eyes widened in surprise.
"Well, in the storage room." Stone said casually. There is a secret room strung with a secret room at the bottom of the house. I don't know if there will be a similar secret room under the house that should belong to this family? Have a good look if you have a chance. If you don't have a chance, it's okay, wait until the level of mental power goes up again, and then the scope of the investigation is wide and it will be clear.
"This thought... If the exit is discovered, if someone finds it, they will think it is a cellar. How can they think that there are other secret rooms in the cellar?"
Xia Yuan sighed, "Just like us The place where I came down is the same. If I lit the oil lamp, I would think that my way of life was blocked. When I got to the second small secret room, I still had the same feeling... When I come here again, as long as the organs in one place cannot be found When I arrive, I'm afraid I can only be trapped in it. Does it mean that the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows are dark and flowers are bright?"
"Who said no, I was really startled at first. But if it is When the original owner comes down by himself, when his life is at stake, the function of the boulder will become an excellent tool to resist foreign enemies." Lu Aiguo also applauded.
"Let's see what's in the box, shall we?"
Lu Yun was also shocked. The person who built this secret room probably won't make too many organs, but this ingenuity is enough to make up for it.
This time, she didn't put away all the boxes, but went to open them one by one. Everyone was very curious. When they leaned over, they saw that dozens of boxes were all made of camphor wood. Most of them were ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and the other half were complete sets of porcelain and some small antique ornaments.
Xia Yuan took a fancy to a set of teapots and cups painted with peony patterns, and couldn't help picking it up. She saw that the porcelain body was extremely thin, and she started to love it because of its lightness and smoothness. Lu Yun also picked up the cup that belonged to the same set as her mother's and put it on the bottom, only to see the word "Neifu" on it.
Lu Yun picked up a few pieces of porcelain one after another and looked at it, but she felt that the symbols on the porcelain were varied and the fonts were different, which made her mind full of slurries. In addition to writing "Neifu", there are also "Gu Yuexuan", "Kangxi Imperial System", and even "Government and Year System"...
She has no research on porcelain, except that she feels Those with the words "Neifu" and "Kangxi Imperial System" will not be outside the folk kilns. There is no way to judge the authenticity of these porcelains. However, looking at the exquisiteness of the porcelain, she could only preliminarily conclude that these porcelains are most likely genuine, and their value is not low, or they cannot be carefully stored in the secret room by the original owner, right?

There are also those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and I am afraid that any one of them will be worth their current net worth.
Lu Yun took out all the boxes in the space, as well as a red sandalwood box and a jewelry box.
When I opened the previous box, I didn't accidentally see that it was not filled with gold bricks, but a neat ingot of silver, a whole box of silver dollars, and jewelry. I looked at the piles of bracelets and necklaces of various materials. , rings, earrings, gold locks, silver locks, jade locks, safety buckles, accessories, and even all kinds of hairpin rings, step shakes and other jewelry only worn by ancient boudoir women...
Lu Yun was a little dazzled . .
When the red sandalwood jewelry box is opened, the difference between the jewelry inside and the box is that the color is better.
At last they remembered the kraft paper bag in the box full of rosewood and diamonds.
I thought that what was in front of me was enough to make my heart beat faster. As a result, when I took out the contents of the paper bag, I was startled again.
It turned out to be a Swiss bank bearer deposit slip and password. The deposit slip is dated 1936 and the deposit amount is $3.5 million.
"Who originally owned this place? Why is it so rich?" Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Lu Aiguo couldn't help but murmured.
"What's the point of knowing who it was originally? Anyway, it belongs to our family now."
Lu Yun didn't have any selfless idea of finding the original owner and then returning it to the original owner. Even if the original owner came to the door, they would not be stupid I recognized it myself. This house has changed hands, I don't know how many times, but who can find out when things fall into their hands?
"I'm just curious, and I'm not stupid." Even if the family is willing to hand over all their belongings, they will probably still be guessed that they have secret possessions.
We have large warehouses and small warehouses, but others don't know about them. Can you guess that so many things have been transferred by yourself? But unfortunately, the bank's deposit certificate, so much money, still can't get foreign exchange.
"I think this box is probably the last way out of their plan, but unfortunately it's useless. It's cheaper for us in the end. Is this money still available?" Shitou and Lu Aiguo thought of something.
"Why not? But I won't be able to go abroad in the short term." Lu Yun looked at the certificate of deposit with $3.5 million written on it. If she didn't take it out, wouldn't she still need a cheap bank? How can there be so many beautiful things?
"What I have a headache now is how to divide these things?" Lu Yun looked at the boxes, rosewood boxes and jewelry boxes in distress. It is almost impossible to distinguish these things according to their value.
"According to the head, whoever sees it has a share." Shitou glanced at Lu Yun and nodded with certainty.
Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan looked at each other, Lu Aiguo nodded, "You can divide it according to the head, but you have to divide it into two parts. The point is that it is not too much for you to get an extra share. On the contrary, if you only get a quarter As soon as we left, Xia Yuan and I couldn't get through no matter what. In fact, you have already suffered a big loss."

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Well, I also think what Dad said makes sense. The minority obeys the majority, and that's it."
This time, Lu Yun stood firmly on the side of Mom and Dad, which was equivalent to dividing into five parts. Parents and Shito each have two shares of the big head, and she takes the small head, which is quite reasonable.
"Okay."
Shitou also knew that he would have to argue for a long time if he continued to struggle with this issue. The shadows left from the last time were too deep. Thinking that a few people might be arguing about this point for a few hours, he simply nodded.
It would be nice if the stone could simply agree. To be honest, Lu Yun is also very annoying for everyone to push around for this.
"It is difficult for everyone to determine their true value. I think it is better for everyone to directly classify them, and pick out the ones that you like and the ones that are pleasing to the eye according to their respective shares. In the public account, we will either take it out for auction or how to deal with it in the future, and the money we get will be counted on our heads."
Lu Yun thought about it and felt that this is the easiest way, but there are still some things that need to be said first. In the front, "The most important thing is that no matter what the value of whoever gets it in the future, others can't be jealous and regret it."
"Okay, that's it, naturally you can't regret it in the future." Lu Aiguo agreed first, Xia Yuanhe Stone also nodded one after another.
167. Emblem
After negotiating, let's start dividing things up.
Several people first carefully classified the fine products that were obviously specially selected from the two red sandalwood boxes.
I saw the empty red sandalwood box and jewelry box, beautifully carved, and held in my hand was no less inferior to any gems and jewelry inside.
Xia Yuan admired it over and over for a long time and couldn't help but say, "This jewelry box must be a good dowry for Xiaoyun in the future, or I can exchange it for Xiaoyun with a share of the two of me and the patriotic people."
"Don't count the share . Now, just give it to Xiaoyun, it's just an empty jewelry box." Stone glanced at the jewelry box, and saw that the other box of red sandalwood was also carefully crafted, so he simply handed it over to Lu Yun. "Give this to her too."
"Don't underestimate these two empty boxes. This is red sandalwood, a precious wood. With such good craftsmanship, it might be more precious than gems."
Lu Yun looked at the jewelry box , the pattern of magpies and plums on the jewelry box is engraved with lifelikeness - happy eyebrows, good meaning, good preservation, and it looks 90% new.
The box is slightly smaller than the jewelry box, and the engraving is a peony and hibiscus figure, which means prosperity and wealth.
Both are not ordinary.
"I'll give it to you. No matter how precious it is, the cultivation techniques, small warehouses and those potions are precious?" Shitou disagreed.
"Just take it for you."
Lu Aiguo stopped Xia Yuan, who wanted to speak, and motioned Lu Yun to put her things away.
He really doesn't have to care so much about Shishi, the big ones can be clearly distinguished, and it's enough to stay together. It's really hurt to care about the small pieces. Therefore, he no longer came up with the idea of giving the other red sandalwood box to the stone.
There are too many things, and it is not known how many treasures are still under the box until they are taken out one by one. Even if several people are supported by mental power, using mental power can save a lot of things. There are also comfortable tables and chairs to sit on, but it still took three or four hours to complete the distribution with the original wooden box.
Don't underestimate the value of those wooden boxes, there are more than 200 wooden boxes, except for the camphor wood, which is specially used for books. The rest are made of precious wood such as red sandalwood, rosewood, and mahogany. In later generations, if an empty box is taken out, it can be sent to the auction.
During the process of dividing things, Lu Yun suddenly remembered that in the past, large families generally had the habit of engraving their own family's unique emblem on their own things, so she searched carefully. As a result, she really found most of the boxes, and even many jewelry really had special emblems on them.
But those emblems are not uniform, there are as many as five or six kinds.
Lu Yun pointed out the things with different emblems to others. After learning about the function of the emblem, Lu Aiguo sighed, "It doesn't seem like this is necessarily a family's wealth. In a chaotic world, people's lives are still at risk, not to mention these gold and silver treasures."
Xia Yuan was also silent. It has only been 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their generation has listened to the lament of their parents a lot, and will naturally have a feeling of disgust and disgust towards the war.
Now that the emblems have been discovered, it is natural to find a way to erase them. It might be difficult to replace it with someone else, but getting Shito and Lu Yun to take action is just a matter of hand.
In the end, those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings are not divided.
Those things are not easy to keep. Even in someone else's small warehouse is not so reassuring. If there is damage, should it not make people feel distressed?
In the end, everyone agreed that everyone had already obtained enough gold and silver, and they could no longer be greedy and insufficient. Therefore, the final decision was that those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings might as well be kept in Lu Yun's warehouse. In the future, when the time is right, they will be copied again, and it will be more meaningful to publish them.
After everything was sorted, Lu Yun looked at the empty underground secret room, and suddenly felt that it was too wasteful to leave it empty, but they didn't use it normally. To put things, everyone has a small warehouse, which is much safer than here.
Lu Yun was still trying to figure out how to make use of this place, but Lu Aiguo had already said, "Look at Shishi, it wouldn't be better if you put a vacuum fryer here, there's enough space, and we don't have to go to the warehouse so often. It's still a little farther, it takes time to go back and forth, and every time we have to go together with the two of us."
"If the machine is placed here, whoever is free can come down and operate it, and then it will be the supply of Haicheng. As the quantity increases, we don't need them to deliver the goods here after the factory in my hometown opens."
"We have to figure out how to hide the wires." Shitou thought about how to do it. It would be bad if the wires exposed the secret room below.
Lu Aiguo gestured with Shitou, and even took out the machine and fiddled with it.
"I have to install an electric light under here." Lu Aiguo said again.
"Don't pull the wires from above, just use a generator." Lu Yun searched and took out a set of silent diesel generator sets.
Seeing the group of silent diesel generator Shishi and Lu Aiguo's eyes lit up, Lu Yun threw a stack of manuals as usual and then gave up. The two then gathered together to watch and mutter.
The two were studying the manual, Xia Yuan and Lu Yun listened to a few words, but they were not interested at all. So the two simply avoided the corner, Lu Yun took out a set of sofa chairs and coffee table again, and the two of them looked at the newly acquired jewelry with great interest.
I have to say that delicate jewelry has always been the darling of women, no matter how old you are, you can't help but be attracted by them.
......
"Sister, are you just off work? Is there something wrong?"
Xia Yuan, who was at the table in the dining room, who was keeping accounts, heard the doorbell ringing and looked at the wall clock. It was barely half past three. She was wondering why someone would come to the door at this time? As a result, I put away my things and went out to see that it was Shana.
Let Shana into the living room, Xia Yuan brought her a glass of fresh orange juice and a large plate with three small mousse cakes in it. Shana's job is three shifts, so it's normal to get off work at this time.
"Xia Yuan, where did you buy that skin care cream?" Xia Na was polite, took the orange juice and drank half of it, then grabbed a small piece of cake and took a bite, squinting her eyes happily.
"What's the matter, did it run out in a few days?" Xia Yuan was startled.
"How can it be so fast? You gave me three bottles in one go a year ago. I didn't exaggerate and ate it all at once."
Shana solved a small piece of cake in three or two bites, and reached out to pick up another piece. , "It's not my little sister-in-law and sister-in-law. I went back to my mother-in-law for the New Year, but the two suddenly acted together as demons and came to me, and kept complimenting my skin for improving."
