Chapter 55 Gold is Found
When Qianqian entered the yard, the ground was very flat and nothing could be seen.
This is when we have to rely on the system.
"Host, here it is, buried in the ground under the bed in your room, with a thin layer of soil covering it. They are still moving it these days, so it is not completely buried."
"We've been moving for several days and it's still not finished. How much does it cost?"
"There are thirty thousand taels of gold in the entire mansion."
"Does this mean there are more outside the palace?"
"Yes, host, there are 50,000 taels of gold buried in the manor outside, and your father has a mistress who has 20,000 taels hidden there!"
A full 100,000 taels of gold, which would be worth one million taels of silver. If converted into modern prices, it would be at least over 100 million.
Qianqian was shocked. He was just a farming officer, how greedy could he be?
But what was the second half of that sentence?
"Wait, how come there's another mistress? Isn't the Lu family generous? Why are they hiding outside? Invite her in!"
"Host, your father was considered marrying above his station when he married your mother. This mistress has been with him for more than ten years now, and they have a boy who is now ten years old!"
"Boys are good, don't they have to recognize their ancestors?"
"Well, host, it was supposed to be like this, but at first your father had to give some face to your grandfather who had not retired and was the old border guard. As a result, when he was able to sit on an equal footing, he found that the boy's reaction was a little slow..."
"So he just gave up like that?"
"Since there is only one child, the concubine has to be dependent on him and be very obedient, so your father will continue to support him!"
"Well, it's hard to judge. If you say he deserved it, the child is innocent after all. But, I understand a little bit now!"
"Host, what do you understand now?"
"That's right, no wonder the scene where this old man just let Li Xiaojun cheat was so natural."
"Hey, host, let's get down to business. The people over there are helping the hero come over to rest!"
"They are really brave! Didn't they just bury the gold?" Qianqian said while clicking her tongue and started to work.
He let the system estimate the time, then he went into the room himself, and while the two maids were not noticing, he pulled out a gold hairpin and threw it under the bed.
"Oh, Caiyue, Zhenzhu, please help me find my hairpin. It's so big."
The two maids looked up at her head and saw that it was indeed gone in the blink of an eye.
Pearl comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, he was here just now, he must still be in this room." Then she started looking around.
Her maidservant adapted quite quickly. In the Governor's Mansion, she was called Madam, and after entering the Lu family, she was called Miss.
Caiyue didn't dare to be perfunctory, but the room was so small and almost all the things had been moved out, so she could only look here and there!
They searched quickly but didn't find it. Then, at Qianqian's suggestion, the two maids looked under the bed. This time they found it, but the hairpin was covered in dirt.
"Why is there dirt in this room? Caiyue, what did you see just now?"
"It was dark down there, and I could only see the light of the hairpin, so I took it out right away!"
"Then go and have another look!"
"Ah... yes!" Caiyue had to give in under Qianqian's gaze.
Just as she was about to climb in with her butt sticking out, the door was pushed open from the outside: "Qianqian, what are you doing? Wow, what a loud noise!"
Qianqian didn't pay much attention to the sound, she was just digging a hole.
Instead, I was thinking, haven't I been waiting for you to come? Now I'm not pretending to be drunk, but why am I pretending to be in love again? Aren't you tired?
But he said as if nothing had happened: "Major General, why are you here?"
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law asked me to come over and rest!"
"This room may not be very convenient!" Qianqian said hesitantly.
"Why can't I enter Qianqian's former boudoir?" Li Xiaojun narrowed his eyes, and the servants leading the way beside him looked puzzled.
The noise coming from the dining room in front is that the son-in-law has someone outside and the young lady is not happy with it.
Now both of them seem to be fine, but the young lady doesn't allow her son-in-law to stay here.
Is this a problem or not? He is still waiting to go back and report to the master and the mistress. He doesn't understand it now, so he will continue to watch!
Qianqian explained: "Just now the hairpin fell under the bed, and when I picked it up, it was covered with dirt, so I asked Caiyue to go and take a look!"
By the way, where are the Caiyue people?
Zhenzhu saw a pair of feet sticking out from under the bed and hurried over to pull the person out. However, the person came out dizzy with a big bump on his head.
Li Xiaojun also became interested and said with a smile: "Qianqian, it seems that you are not a good maid! Who is that? Can you go and take a look?"
The servant who led the way pointed at himself in confusion and said, "No, are you serious? This person just came out sideways and he was scared!"
"Why don't you go quickly, or do you think I, your son-in-law, can't get you to do anything?"
The servant had no choice but to crawl in. After a while, the room was lit up. The servant brought a tinder with him and said, "Miss, Master, there is indeed a layer of dirt inside."
There really was one. Li Xiaojun gave the command: "Open it up and have a look!"
"Why, there's a hole, oh my goodness, miss, oh my goodness, it's all gold..."
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun quickly stepped forward and walked to the bedside: "Can you take some out for me to see?"
The servant hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do in there, and finally grabbed out a handful of gold bars.
It was originally meant for Qianqian, but Li Xiaojun snatched it away and looked at it carefully. There was no mark on it, and it was in good condition. This was buried under someone's bed...
"Qianqian, do you know what's going on?"
Qianqian's expression changed from being stunned when she heard about Jin Zi to being surprised and delighted now: "Oh, it must be left to me by my father and mother."
"How do you say this?"
"Why else would it be under my bed? I was wondering why the room was so empty. It turns out it was a surprise for me."
Li Xiaojun sneered. He was clear-headed at the moment. Who would give a surprise like this? But it was good this way. He could take the opportunity to take it away. When he returned to the Governor's Mansion, he would have the final say!
Therefore, he also cooperated: "Qianqian, it seems that your father-in-law and mother-in-law really love you. Um, go and report to your father-in-law and tell him that we have taken the gold that Qianqian passed down. Don't bother them!"
No matter how stupid the servant was, he realized that something was wrong. How could he suddenly shout out "there is gold"?
This hole was just dug, and the soil is new too. It’s obvious that it was hidden by the owner!
The servant ran to find Lu's father with a dejected look on his face, but he did not mention himself when reporting.
It was said that the son-in-law had found the gold under the young lady's bed and was now preparing to dig it out and take it away.
After hearing this, Mr. Lu couldn't sit still for a moment. How did they find out? They were obviously hiding so well, otherwise they wouldn't dare to bring people there.
But there was no time to ask for more details now. It was incredible that such a fat man could run out and run towards Qianqian's yard!
