The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 51 Discovering the Secret Room

Women are really scary, it's better not to mess with them. Don't forget, Hou Jie has a fiancée, Chen Xueru, who is not a good person either, a strong woman. If she knew what happened to me, I would be in trouble.

The happiness of having many wives is not so easy to enjoy, so you should take it as a warning. If you are not careful, it will ruin your family, and he doesn't want to live that kind of life.

Things were out of control and did not go as he expected. It seemed that he would have to stop drinking in the future. With his strong body, no one would have thought that he would be ruined by half a pound of alcohol. Who could he go to for justice? In the future, he would emphasize that he should not drink with strange women. If he got a wife again, he would be completely finished.

After a while, Hou Jie heard the knock on the door and opened it. Wu Laoqi came as promised, holding a basket filled with hot meals and some clean clothes.

Hou Jie walked over, took the basket from Wu Laoqi's hand, and placed the food and clothes in it carefully beside the bed.

After handing over the things, Wu Laoqi quietly left the yard.

Hou Jie walked to the bedside and stared at Mu Chunhua's face, which looked extremely pale but still beautiful, his heart full of guilt and pity.

He helped Mu Chunhua put on her clothes carefully, and every move was filled with incomparable tenderness and patience.

After she put on her clothes, Hou Jie helped Mu Chunhua up again and let her lean on his strong shoulders, fearing that he would hurt her.

He fed her mouthful by mouthful, carefully observing her reaction to ensure that every mouthful was swallowed. Although Mu Chunhua was weak, she ate very gracefully. Even simple meals tasted particularly sweet and delicious in her mouth, which was pleasing to the eye.

After Mu Chunhua finished her meal, Hou Jie carefully helped her lie down and stayed by her side until she fell asleep.

Mu Chunhua didn't say a word the whole time, but her eyes gradually softened and she no longer looked at Hou Jie fiercely, which made Hou Jie feel a lot more comfortable.

After making sure that Mu Chunhua was sleeping soundly, Hou Jie gently closed the door and walked out of the yard.

Wu Laoqi was still waiting outside. When he saw Hou Jie coming out, he immediately stepped forward. Hou Jie briefly explained a few words to Wu Laoqi. His voice was low but firm.

Hou Jie arranged, "Seventh Brother, have someone go to the Four Nations Hotel to ask for leave for Miss Mu. He is tired today and needs a good rest."

Wu Laoqi nodded respectfully, "Okay, Young Master."

Although Hou Jie is not short of money and has the ability to provide Mu Chunhua with superior living conditions, he also realizes that Mu Chunhua has her own dreams and pursuits. Let her make her own decisions about work! He respects her opinion and lets her decide whether to continue working there.

Hou Jie is willing to give Mu Chunhua enough space and freedom to make her own decisions and pursue her dreams. Her life is decided by him.

Hou Jie walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently, as an affirmation and encouragement. Hou Jie praised him with satisfaction: "Seventh Brother, you have done a good job. I am relieved to leave the Mu family in your care."

Hearing Hou Jie's praise, Wu Laoqi showed a happy smile on his face.

Finally, Hou Jie told him to take good care of the Mu family and not let anyone get into trouble. Wu Laoqi readily agreed, "Don't worry, I will do my best." Hou Jie nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing Wu Laoqi winking and laughing, he was exactly the same as Wu San a while ago. Hou Jie's mouth twitched, his face full of helplessness, and he waved a rickshaw and left.

Hou Jie didn't go home last night due to an unexpected reason. Fearing that something might go wrong, Hou Jie chose to go home first to show his face, so as to avoid his mother's nagging.

After Hou Jie got off the rickshaw, he went to check the progress of the renovation of his house.

He walked into the yard, where a lot of items were piled up in a miscellaneous manner, with only a narrow aisle left for the craftsmen to enter and exit.

Hou Jie sighed in his heart that he was indeed a master chef. The house decoration process was less than halfway through, but it was already extraordinary. The floor placed next to it was exquisite in size and color. The floor tiles with embossed patterns, if combined together, would look like a large mural. He was looking forward to it more and more.

When the craftsmen working in the yard saw him, they all nodded in greeting. Among them were some strangers he didn't know, as well as a few familiar faces.

Hou Jie roughly counted and found that there were more than 20 craftsmen busy at work. They were working hard and the deadline was tight. Everyone seemed very focused and serious. They all knew that as long as the deadline was completed on time and the work was done well, the homeowner would give them a lot of rewards and rewards.

Hou Jie noticed that Master Lei was discussing something with a few older men, and they did not notice Hou Jie's arrival.

When he walked up to Master Lei, someone saw him coming and nudged Master Lei next to him to remind him that the owner of the house had returned. Only then did Master Lei notice Hou Jie.

Hou Jie scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Then, Master Lei generously introduced several people around him to Hou Jie. It turned out that these people were all famous craftsmen in the city, and they were all masters who had worked in the palace like himself.

Hou Jie quickly bowed to the chefs and said, "Thank you for coming to help. Please rest assured that I will not treat you unfairly."

Several people politely responded, "Thank you, Master. This is what we should do."

At this time, Master Lei interrupted Hou Jie and said, "My friend, you are here just in time. I have something to ask you." Hou Jie was a little confused when he heard this, but then he calmed down and said, "Master Lei, please tell me first."

Master Lei took Hou Jie to the side, his steps were a little heavy but with some anticipation.

He whispered to Hou Jie about the unexpected discovery during the morning excavation: "My friend, this is what happened. Yesterday afternoon when we were digging the sewer, we accidentally dug up a piece of stone that looked ordinary but was unusual. This stone is not an ordinary building material. Based on our experience and the traces, there is probably a secret room underneath."

After hearing this, Hou Jie's eyes sparkled with excitement. He thought to himself, "I really didn't hire the wrong person. Master Lei and his team are very kind and they were kind enough to inform me. They didn't bring anyone to dig alone."

As the core area of ​​the capital, Laosijiu City has always been home to many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. The city's profound historical heritage may hide countless undiscovered secrets and wealth. Especially this house was bought by his grandfather. Although he didn't know whether the original owner of the house left a valuable legacy in this ancient house, Hou Jie firmly believed that there must be unknown secrets in it, and it was necessary to explore it.

Hou Jie straightened his back and said to Master Lei, "Master Lei, you have been working in this industry for many years and your skills are superb. I admire you very much. Let's call it a day this morning so that you and your team can have a good rest and recuperate. I will find some people to help me deal with this matter later. As for the matter of this house, you can do it without worrying about it and don't need to ask me too much. I have complete trust in your professionalism and superb skills, and I believe you can handle all this properly."

After Hou Jie and the others left, they closed the door and used the power of space to take away all the upper bricks and stones of the secret room and put them aside.

Looking down from the secret room, there were quite a few wooden boxes and several antique display shelves placed inside.

Judging from the thickness of the dust on the ground, it has not been opened for hundreds of years. No one knows who the previous owner was. The secret room is so hidden that no one has discovered it for so many years. There are many porcelain bottles and small wooden boxes on the antique shelf.

He walked down the steps and came to the floor of the secret room. He opened the wooden box, and found a box of golden, orange yellow croaker neatly arranged. He opened several other boxes, and found that they were all yellow croaker. Hou Jie's jaw dropped in surprise. How much money would this be worth?

I must have saved someone in my previous life. I am so lucky. These riches alone are enough to last me for several lifetimes.

She put the wooden box into the space, and went to the antique display cabinet to look at the porcelain. She then opened the small wooden box, which contained either jade bracelets or gold and silver jewelry.

Although Hou Jie didn't know much about antiques, he knew that this was definitely a good thing. He emptied the house, leaving nothing behind, and stuffed everything into the space. These things would become the heirlooms of the old Hou family. When his children grew up, he would pass them on to them, and he wouldn't be considered a father. It all depends on whether that guy is lucky enough to be reborn into his family. Haha, Hou Jie's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.

“It is true that the blessed do not have to worry, while the unlucky are so busy that they are heartbroken.”
