Chapter 275 Following the Snow Treasure Hunt
"Okay, you haven't told me what you like yet? I'll take you to get them; I have quite a few at home too."
Although I'm reluctant to give it to you, I'll reluctantly agree since you're a decent person.
Dongfang Jin tapped its little head: "Keep your things. The silver you took me to get, that belongs to other people."
"It belongs to someone. If I take it, I'm a thief, and that's a bad reputation."
Ta Xue shook her head: "No, no one lives in that house, and the yard is very dilapidated. Some of those golden things are in the dry well, some are in the walls, some are under the floor tiles, some are on the roof, some are in the wood, and some are under the big trees."
Just as Dongfang Jin was surprised, Taxue said with a look of disgust, "You humans can be quite funny sometimes. Some people actually hide those things under the slop bucket, and some even hide them next to the outhouse..."
Dongfang Jin...
Listening to Ta Xue's incessant chatter, she immediately recalled the scene of Aunt Gu biting into a silver ingot.
Uh……
Whose house is it?
"I don't know, but I have a family living on that street ahead. The man in that family is a high-ranking official, and I always see him leaving before dawn."
Sometimes, people even come to his house in the middle of the night, and then it's what you human couples often do!
Having an affair?
Dongfang Jin stopped thinking about it, checked the time, and asked, "Ruyi, should we go?"
Your man said he's going home and will come back later to pick up Lu Yunqing and Jun Qirui.
That won't do. If we're going to go back, we should go back together. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain.
We agreed when we came out that we would accompany the county magistrate on business.
We went back, but he didn't. What am I supposed to say? Besides, aren't you worried about wasting teleportation orbs now?
[You tell your man yourself,]
Hearing Ruyi's displeasure, Dongfang Jin also lost his temper, saying, "Ignore him, he's spoiled! If he has nothing better to do, he should go farm."
After saying that, Dongfang Jin looked at Taxue, who was still eating, and said, "Take me to that empty house."
Since this person hid the money in such a place, they're probably not a good person. It's better to let them use the money to do something worthwhile than to leave it lying around.
The Ci'an Hall in the south of the city costs a lot of money every day, so this money is just right.
Are you planning to put your plan into action?
There shouldn't be too many Ci'an Halls, as it's easy to foster laziness in them.
Wherever Xie Wenna and her friends open a toy store or beauty salon in the future, they can open it there, and they can also recruit workers from there.
[Changsun Lan's newspaper hasn't reached here yet. He wrote to ask you to set up a printing plant in Ling'an County. What do you think?]
[Let Zhao Yuming handle this; I don't know how. Besides, Dongzi and the others also have a destination to go to.]
[Yes, you know, that kid's got the makings.]
[Those who are destined for great things must also be aware of their own identity and circumstances.]
He thought to himself, "This isn't modern times. In this ancient world where people eat each other without spitting out the bones, who are you trying to impress?"
They would rather beg than be a slave, saying that becoming a slave meant losing their freedom.
He's free now, without any background or power. Doesn't he understand the saying: "Too rigid, and you'll break; too soft, and you'll crumble"?
A person who looks like that is bound to suffer.
Dongfang Jin didn't say anything more about this issue: "Shall we set off after we finish eating?"
Ta Xue nodded her little head: "Okay, but you can't carry me. I can run, and I can run very fast."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Carrying it, to be honest, she was actually a little hesitant.
"Then come with me."
On the way, Dongfang Jin learned some things about the Rongguo Duke's Mansion from Taxue.
Finally, she heard the most shocking thing: Gu Chenglin's father had been given a drug by his stepmother that would prevent him from having children.
In other words, it means that over the years, in addition to the three children born to Gu Chenglin's mother, the Duke of Rong also had two children with this lady.
He never had any more children with any of the other women in the mansion. The children born to the women in the side courtyard were not Rongguo Gong's, and Rongguo Gong knew about this.
I go!
That's terrifying!
This puzzled her. Why was he still indulging his current concubine?
Are you planning a divorce on New Year's Eve?
Is it revenge?
Is it really as Ruyi said, that Gu Chenglin's biological father... is a rebellious, overgrown child?
It has to be said, Dongfang Jin is right.
Before getting married, Gu Chenglin's father, Gu Haozhen, was carefree and knew his own status, so he never caused trouble for his two older sisters.
...However, ever since his mother forced him to marry Hua Miaoyu, his cousin from the Hua family.
That woman and her two older sisters started controlling him, forbidding him from doing this and that, which annoyed him to no end.
After Hua Miaoyu became pregnant, he began bringing women into the mansion... Later, he got into a fight with Hua Miaoyan by chance.
The two became acquainted through a misunderstanding; he was captivated by Hua Miaoyan's dashing and heroic demeanor, and his heart began to race.
Upon inquiring, it turned out that Hua Miaoyan was his wife's half-sister. She had lived in Ningzhou with the Hua family patriarch since childhood, and only returned to the capital after the patriarch passed away...
His wife had only recently passed away when he went to the Duke of Ningguo's family to ask for her hand in marriage...
Hua Miaoyan married him, but when she discovered she was pregnant with a boy, she swallowed a bowl of abortion pills...
She also said that she would only give birth to daughters for him, and if it was a son, she would take abortion pills...
That little bit of love gradually faded away. Wasn't it like giving him a drug that would prevent him from having children?
So he found women, and in the end, however many women Hua Miaoyan found for him, he accepted them all…
Life is truly unpredictable; the large intestine encloses the small intestine.
……
Dongfang Jin followed Taxue across a street and arrived at a house on Qinglong Street.
Ruyi, [This is the Prince Yi's residence.]
Dongfang Jin paused in her climb over the wall. [Wing King? Who's that?]
I don't know either. I saw a broken plaque behind the gate that read "Wing Prince's Mansion".
There's gold hidden in the crevice of this screen wall, at least thirty thousand taels.
[Received.]
Your Highness, it seems you must be either Emperor Shengde's uncle or his maternal uncle. In any case, she had never heard of this prince from Long Er and the others.
[Gu Chenglin didn't know either,] Dongfang Jin asked Ruyi, knowing that the Duke of Ningguo and Old Master Chu had told him a lot about the situation in the capital and the relationships between the various mansions.
He said he didn't know either.
Dongfang Jin stopped dwelling on it. Since she had encountered it, it was hers to keep. [Did you accept it?]
[It's been taken, but this screen wall is empty; it'll probably collapse soon.]
[That's normal. Judging from the desolation inside, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.]
【really. 】
Dongfang Jin looked at the rat standing by the well. The snow was falling quite heavily, and there was some mist in the air. "Ta Xue, how long has this house been uninhabited?"
Ta Xue shook her head: "I don't know, there hasn't been anyone here for a long time. It was like this when we played here as kids."
Dongfang Jin didn't ask how big it was. After walking around the house, Ruyi said that everything was packed up before she left.
Afterwards, she followed Taxue to two other houses nearby, which also appeared to be princely residences.
However, under the artificial hill in one of the courtyards, Ruyi discovered a large number of weapons, which Dongfang Jin did not want.
She planned to have Emperor Shengde's men come and collect it later. She intended to leave some notes for Taxue to take with it when it led people to find Long Er.
And then there were the stories of corrupt officials hiding money. Dongfang Jin put down her pen and paper halfway through writing. She was being silly. Ta Xue wasn't human, really.
She took out a hand warmer from her spatial storage, tied one end with a hair tie, and let Taxue crawl inside: "I'll take you to see the emperor, and after that you'll be the emperor's soldier."
I'll leave you some food; it's not safe to store it there, and it's also prone to getting damp.
Over time, it can easily become moldy. If you eat moldy food, you will get sick, or even lose your life.
I'll store it with the Emperor for you; you can go and get it yourself when the time comes."
