476 The Daughter of the Dead
The dinner was invited by Hu Liu. The place to eat was at a local specialty restaurant in the ancient town.
The taste is also very good, at least Chen Rui was very satisfied with the food.
The ancient town at night became much quieter.
After dinner, Hu Liu also wanted to invite Chen Rui to go out for a nightclub.
But Chen Rui politely declined, so Hu Liu had to go out for a leisure time.
But Chen Rui returned to his old house by himself.
Regarding this old house, Hu Liudao has great trust in Chen Rui.
It was opened, allowing Chen Rui to enter and exit at will.
And one of the main reasons why he is so generous is that this old house is too dilapidated.
Although some furniture from the past year are worth a little money, he is not worried that the furniture will be stolen at all.
Because those furniture are very heavy, it is definitely impossible to move when transported by one person.
At least I have to find a moving company and want to empty his home in such an old town.
Then how easy it is?
The neighbors around him are all his relatives.
So Hu Liu was also very relieved to let Chen Rui enter and exit his old house at will.
After Chen Rui returned to this old house, he also wandered around the old house.
It’s true that at night, living in this old house can really feel a unique charm.
No matter how annoying the city in the distance, once you enter this old house.
I feel my heart suddenly calm down.
The impetuousness outside seemed to be isolated outside the door.
Especially, I took out a bamboo chair and sat in the patio of the old house.
Looking up at the night sky above my head, savoring tea and blowing the evening breeze.
That feeling is really unique.
Chen Rui suddenly felt a little moved, otherwise he would buy this old house himself?
Then build a piece of land in the capital and move the old house over there intact?
After all, he was originally thinking about building a museum.
Then why can foreigners do this, we can’t?
And I don’t have to copy this old house in its original flavor.
Can it be expanded appropriately...
Thinking of this, Chen Rui felt his eyes lit up.
This is a good way to prevent such old-fashioned buildings from flowing out.
You can also help yourself realize your dream of building a private museum.
Well, you can think about this matter carefully.
At this moment, a dark cloud covered the night sky, and a moment later, drizzled in the sky.
Chen Rui quickly carried the chair and hid in the house.
Considering that the windows were still open in several rooms upstairs, Chen Rui ran upstairs and closed the windows.
To prevent rain from blowing into the house.
He went back to his room first and closed the doors and windows.
After thinking about it, I raised my legs and walked upstairs.
The building he lives in happened to be the main building in the yard, which is three stories high.
He lives on the second floor, while Hu Liu lives on the third floor.
I went up to the third floor and found that he had changed the entire floor into the master room.
Many partition walls have been removed, leaving only some of the supporting wooden load-bearing columns still there.
However, these pillars have been around for some time, and many of them are already covered with cracks.
Chen Rui went to help him close a few large windows first. He was about to go downstairs, but suddenly he felt his eyes lit up.
Because he saw the feet of several load-bearing pillars on the upper floor.
Originally, there were several round stone piers. These round stone piers were granite with light yellow patterns.
Originally, these granite stone piers should be hidden in the wall.
But in order to make his living comfortably, Hu Liu knocked out all the partition walls upstairs.
So these stone piers were exposed.
And this night, there were no lights upstairs, but now.
These round stone piers emit a rich yellow light in Chen Rui's eyes.
This yellow is very rich and the light is very soft, not the dazzling bright yellow.
But the slightly low and soft yellow color, which made Chen Rui's heart pound.
No wonder, when I entered this yard before, I saw the top of the yard emitting a faint green light.
It turns out that there are really treasures in this yard!
And these stone trunks are obviously the treasures left by the ancestors of the Hu and Liu family.
I just don't know what material this pier is made of.
But thinking about it, it means that being able to put these stone piers on the third floor is all about it.
You should know that when building houses in ancient times, especially such wooden houses.
This kind of load-bearing stone piers is very common, but they are usually on the first floor.
Then put the wooden beam on the stone pier so that the stone pier can help the wooden beam bear and disperse the pressure well.
But when I got upstairs, I didn’t know how to use stone piers anymore.
Because the stone pier itself is not light, the load-bearing wooden beams on the upper floor generally use mortise and tenon structures.
However, on the third floor of this house, there are stone piers under the load-bearing beams.
This must have been intentional when building a house, and this stone pier must be an extraordinary thing.
Otherwise, people wouldn't have hid them on the third floor.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui immediately activated his perspective superpower and looked into these stone piers.
Sure enough, through a layer of stone skin outside the stone pier, he saw almost every stone pier inside.
There are all yellow stones of different shapes, emitting a soft light.
Seeing this, Chen Rui's heart was even more pounding.
These stones should be the raw stones of what kind of gemstones?
I go, Hu Liu's ancestor is OK, but he actually thought of using this method to pass on the treasure to future generations.
Unfortunately, this secret should have been passed down to a certain generation.
Otherwise, Hu Liu's ancestors would have dug out these stones long ago.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered it today.
He couldn't help but remember the information that Qiao Li found and sent to him when he set out earlier.
There is a detailed introduction to the sixth ancestor Hu, the eighteenth generation.
It turns out that this guy’s ancestors are not simple.
As early as the Ming Dynasty, they were famous local gentry, and later they had several Jinshi.
During the Ming Dynasty, his family had several generations of officials.
At that time, they left a rich family background for them.
Later in the Qing Dynasty, there were still people in their family who came out to be officials and some went out to do business.
Therefore, their Hu family has always been a prominent family in the local area.
When it came to Grandpa Hu Liuzu's generation, there were only two brothers, one was an official in the capital, and the other was doing business in his hometown.
Chen Rui remembered the letter he dug out in the courtyard of Hu Liujingcheng.
I think that should be Hu Liu's grandfather.
And this house should have been passed down from generation to generation.
