() Ximen Qing was drinking happily. Hearing Shutong'er's words, he didn't take it to heart. He just said that Xue'er was weird and didn't know what beautiful flowers he saw in the backyard or that strange-looking one.
Stone, let yourself go and take a look.
"Didn't you see that you were having a good time drinking?" Ximen Qing frowned and scolded: "We'll talk about anything big later!"
The book boy got into trouble and muttered about leaving. Mrs. Lin Chong was careful and stopped her to ask a few questions. She said to Ximen Qing: "Since there is something going on, you might as well go to the backyard and take a look."
Ximen Qing then stood up with a hint of drunkenness and said, "I've always been a bit stubborn. I'll come as soon as I go."
Everyone drank happily and said one after another: "You might as well go on your own if you are a high official."
Ximen Qing then let the book boy help him and walked to the backyard. From a distance, he saw several people standing at the foundation of the backyard pavilion and discussing something. Not only Xue'er and Hua Yuerong, but also Pan Jinlian and Sun Erniang were there.
Moreover, Sun Erniang was holding a shovel in her hand, which made Ximen Qing happy: "Are these women discussing the construction of a pavilion?"
When the girls saw Ximen Qing coming with light steps, they all waved him over.
"Let's deal with it for a while, then go drink!"
Ximen Qing walked forward drunkenly, only to find that the soil on the foundation was a bit messy and seemed to have been disturbed.
"Master, come and see!" Xue'er dismissed the book boy and pointed to a place for Ximen Qing to come closer: "We seem to have dug something out."
Ximen Qing looked through his drunken eyes and saw that it was just broken bricks and tiles, so what could be there?
"In two days, craftsmen will come to build a two-story pavilion here. Why do you want to touch it?" Ximen Qing said, "The bricks and tiles will all be removed by then."
"Here, look here!" Xue'er and Hua Yuerong pointed at one place at the same time and shouted.
Ximen Qing bent down and couldn't see anything clearly in the dark environment, but there seemed to be a faint yellow thing, and he didn't know what it was.
Pan Jinlian was afraid that Ximen Qing could not see clearly, so she asked Sun Erniang to use a shovel to remove the broken bricks and mud around it, and immediately revealed a black thing underneath. The wine jar was much smaller, which was not surprising; but the jar
There was a hole in the edge, and something yellow was exposed inside.
Ximen Qing squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He was so frightened that he sobered up. He snatched the shovel from Sun Erniang's hand and dug again. Only then did he realize that his hands and feet were weak after drinking and he was weak from digging.
"The high official should let me come." Sun Erniang smiled and took the shovel. After a few moments, more and more of the jar was exposed. Finally, Sun Erniang shoveled away all the soil around it, revealing more than half of the jar.
Ximen Qing saw that the mouth of the altar was tightly sealed, and no one would care if it hadn't been buried underground.
Xue'er and Hua Yuerong were talking to each other at the side, and Ximen Qing only got the general idea.
Probably the two of them were playing in the garden and noticed a yellow light penetrating into the ground. Xueer said it was a field mouse and Hua Yuerong said it was a weasel. The two women got into an argument and started a bet.
Hua Yuerong asked Pan Jinlian to be a witness, and Xueer asked Sun Erniang to help, and she found a shovel and insisted on digging it out.
"Look, it's obviously a field mouse hiding in the jar!" Xueer pointed to the jar confidently.
Hua Yuerong also pouted and said: "A weasel is a weasel!"
"That's enough, you two!" Ximen Qing felt a little ashamed after hearing this. The gap in the jar was clearly broken by Sun Erniang accidentally. How could a field mouse or weasel get in?
That yellowish thing made Ximen Qing's palms sweat slightly.
I have heard similar legends all the time, but I never expected that such a thing would actually happen before my eyes.
Following Ximen Qing's signal, Sun Erniang turned the shovel in her hand, and the mouth of the jar and its cover fell down, revealing the contents inside the jar.
"It turns out that we all guessed wrong." Hua Yuerong glanced at it and suddenly felt disappointed.
"The original owner here was so strange that he liked yellow stones and hid a jar under the pavilion." Xue'er was also very disappointed.
Ximen Qing bent down and touched a piece of the so-called "yellow stone" in his hand. It was not a stone, it was obviously gold!
A jar full of gold!
"Official, how could it be gold?" Pan Jinlian was surprised. She didn't know how much this jar of gold was worth, but at least she knew it was worth a lot of money!
Even Sun Erniang was a little dizzy, but Xue'er and Hua Yuerong didn't react at all.
At this time, it is natural to ask professionals to evaluate, so Ximen Qing asked Sun Erniang to find the magic fortune teller Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing was so drunk that he became confused. When he saw the jar of gold, he was so frightened that all the wine turned into sweat.
"Master, what is this...?"
"It must have been left by the previous owner. Each piece of it is made of melted gold." Ximen Qing sighed: "Only now do I know why the beautiful pavilion had to be torn down. It wasn't the rich man who wanted to hide the gold.
A safe place is to get the gold that was hidden under the pavilion."
"I originally thought that such legends were all made up, but I didn't expect that Xue'er and Hua Yuerong would meet today. If it hadn't been for that yellow light, who would have known that there was gold buried underground?"
Jiang Jing swallowed his saliva and said with some fear: "If those craftsmen come in two days, I don't know whose hands this gold will fall into."
"Mr. Jiang, how much does this jar of gold cost?" Ximen Qing and Sun Erniang worked together to clean up the jar for a long time, and finally moved the jar of gold out with all their strength.
Only then did Ximen Qing realize that Sun Erniang was much stronger than himself.
Jiang Jing took a piece and looked at it carefully, and then said after a while: "I don't know how it turned out. I don't know why the original owner melted it into this shape. But I'm afraid tens of thousands of them are indispensable."
"Gold is hidden in troubled times." Pan Jinlian said: "I'm afraid these gold nuggets are quite old."
Ximen Qing thought of the famous dark age in history before the founding of the Song Dynasty, and couldn't help shaking his head: "I'm afraid the origin of this gold is unknown, and the rich man didn't have a good death, and died suddenly, otherwise we wouldn't be so cheap.
I bought this yard for the price.”
"High-ranking officials have deep blessings. If they get this unowned wealth, they will definitely become more powerful." Sun Erniang said: "The rules of the world have always been like this."
Sure enough, the protagonist’s halo energy is immortal!
Ximen Qing cheered in his heart, but he still nodded solemnly: "This windfall will allow my business plan to be developed faster, and it will bring blessings to the people!"
Xue'er pulled Hua Yuerong aside, pointed and said, "Look at the master's face!"
Ximen Qing pretended not to hear anything. Since he was the protagonist, the gold dug out of his yard was naturally his, so there was no need to pretend to be a good person and show good intentions.
These days, only true villains can live a prosperous life.
However, the slogan should be shouted louder, to benefit the people, to benefit the people, to do justice for heaven, and so on.
"These gold nuggets must be remelted into gold bars before they can be used. I have to ask Mr. Jiang to find a reliable craftsman to do this." Ximen Qing ordered: "Since this jar of gold has been unearthed, it is not appropriate to put it here, or is it?
Leave it in the accounting room."
Jiang Jing obeyed the order and ordered the boy to empty a wooden box, put all the gold nuggets in the altar into it, and take it to the accounting room to put it away.
Ximen Qing got an unexpected fortune out of thin air and was filled with joy. He brought his daughters to the front and was seen by Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others.
The three girls looked radiant as soon as they stood in front of everyone. Xueer's golden lotus was gorgeous, and Huayuerong, although still young, was still a full-fledged beauty, making Monk Hua's eyes almost pop out.
"The good fortune of a high-ranking official is not small." Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "The Sa family is a little moved. Why don't you go and return to secular life tomorrow!"
Hua Yuerong's face turned red when she heard this, and Xue'er spat: "You are such a frivolous monk, if you come to distract our sisters, I will take care of you!"
"Don't you dare." Lu Zhishen looked scared, looking very funny: "Your master knows magic, but the monk is very scared!"
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and all took a sip because of Lu Zhishen's cuteness. Ximen Qing looked around, only Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, was missing.
This guy has always been elusive, and I don’t know where he is now.
"By the way, you should show up at this time normally."
Ximen Qing was wondering when he saw Shi Qian climbing over the east courtyard wall, looking a little nervous.
"Third brother, why did you go to the coach's house?" Ximen Qing asked, "Nothing happened?" After drinking, he replied: "It's so close, so close."
"Third brother, what happened to you?" Wu Song asked, "Did you meet someone?"
"I originally went to the old place to play for a while, but I didn't expect to be discovered." Shi Qian adjusted his breath: "Six or seven people chased them until they were near the Daxiangguo Temple. I deliberately made a circle and borrowed the road from Teacher Lin's house."
Ximen Qing was angry and funny when he heard this: "Aren't you going to go to the forbidden area again?"
"Brother, how do you know?" Gushang Flea Shi Qian looked aggrieved: "That place is a remote place within the forbidden area, and no one usually goes there. I usually wait there for the imperial kitchen to have dinner. Who knew someone would go on patrol today?
Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise I would have been hit."
"Then why is there still someone chasing you if I didn't meet you?" Ximen Qing asked: "Third brother, just tell the truth. Are you itching to get something from the forbidden area?"
"Where is it? I didn't notice that I was a little anxious when I came out." Shi Qian sat down and reached out and grabbed half a cooked chicken, tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth: "Just be careful next time.
"
Everyone started laughing. Lin Chong was slightly surprised when he heard the flea on the drum and moved in and out of the forbidden area as if he were walking on flat ground.
"It's better not to have a next time." Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "If you do this, I'm afraid the officials will be nervous for a while, and the patrols in the forbidden area will have to be stepped up. I don't know if the Imperial City Department will have any impact."
