An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Only after the three people left did Jing Changning and Jing Chunxi have time to take a closer look at the house.

The three-courtyard house was well-prepared. Except for the main hall, all the rooms had been hung with thick curtains according to Jing Changning's instructions, so nothing could be seen from the outside.

The main hall in the front yard was open. After Jing Changning entered, he said to Jing Chunxi, "Let's arrange this place according to the original layout of the Marquis' Mansion. We need the least conspicuous furniture."

Jing Chunxi understood that if the things originally in the hall of the General's Mansion were moved out, the guards would be shocked. If Zhuang came in the future, she would definitely tell at a glance that they were her own things.

Jing Chunxi had no space to put the furniture from the original hall of the Marquis's mansion, but there were quite a few sandalwood furniture in the warehouses, some of which were from the courtyard of the Marquis's old lady, Mrs. Liu, and a small number were Jing Chunxi's mother's original dowry. According to his third uncle, the furniture that was taken out were all ordinary styles and had no obvious markings.

While thinking about the original layout of the main hall of my house, I moved the furniture out. After a while, I assembled a set of main hall sets with basically the same color and a standard style.

Jing Changning was also very satisfied when he saw it.

The items were good, but not overly fancy or flashy. Those not accustomed to fine things in the capital would hardly appreciate their value. At best, they would be considered slightly expensive, enough to entertain a few people for tea.

He opened the east and west rooms, and they were empty. "Put the two largest beds here. If my uncle and grandfather want to come and can't make it back, they can rest here." The big beds can barely accommodate two or three people. This was Jing Changning's idea. Who can guarantee that only he and his father will come in the future? It wouldn't be surprising if his mother and eldest and second sisters-in-law come occasionally after a long time.

"Put all the books from my original room in the west wing." He planned to leave the east wing empty for emergency use.

After moving the things out, the five bookshelves in each of the two west wing rooms were full, and a large desk and armchair were also put out, as well as a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Following the advice of his third uncle, he put out more than a dozen paintings and calligraphy that no one in the capital would see but were still valuable in this small place. Jing Changning thought about it again and took out two paintings that would be appreciated even in the capital.

Jing Changning picked through the bookcases and the writing brushes, inkstones, and paper, and picked out two large piles of books: "These are all good things, put them away first."

Jing Chunxi flipped through the books above. They were all ancient books and rare copies, and they really shouldn't be put in public.

Jing Changning picked out a few more excellent inkstones. She nodded obediently and wanted to take them back. Jing Changning added, "Don't put them in a mess. You won't be able to find them later if you want to."

The corners of his mouth twitched when he thought about seeing the good things in the space piled up like garbage.

Jing Chunxi waved his hand playfully: "As you wish."

It wasn't her fault that the things were messy in the space. Time was so limited back then, and she only cared about collecting as many as she could. She also didn't understand the space's function at the time, so she was lucky if the things she put in didn't break or get damaged. Third Uncle had so many demands, I wondered if he had some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The two of them walked into the front yard, the second yard, and the third yard. The grain was stored in the five large rooms of the second yard. They first cleared out a few empty shelves and put clothes, bedding, and fabrics in two rooms, all neatly arranged. There were also many odds and ends that were used in daily life. Jing Chunxi put them in each room according to their functions and categories, and finally filled up most of the rooms in the second and third yards.

Jing Changning's twitching mouth finally returned to normal, and he almost said: This is more like it.

Jing Chunxi handed him a box of banknotes that originally belonged to General Jing's mansion, but he did not take it. He just said, "I will give this to your grandparents when I get home. It's up to them to decide whether to keep it or not."

Jing Chunxi had already given them quite a bit of silver and banknotes along the way, but they hadn't spent much of it. Whether the remaining money would be of any use in this remote and impoverished area was indeed debatable.

Jing Chunxi thought about it and agreed. She felt that since such a big house had a cellar, there might also be a secret room. However, she didn't have time to look for it now, and she couldn't feel comfortable leaving all her belongings in someone else's territory. It would be better to hide them in Tianshui Village where she lived.

But she added, "Tianshui Village isn't very safe either."

From the family's words and actions, it is certain that they come from a wealthy family. It is hard to say whether they will not be targeted by someone with ulterior motives over time. My grandmother has to think about how to hide things.

Jing Changning laughed, "You won't grow if you worry too much. Don't you see what kind of people your grandparents are? Even hiding a little treasure requires Sister Xi to use her brains?"

Jing Chunxi smiled and felt that he was worrying too much.

"Uncle Three, would you like to keep some of the jewelry from my aunts and grandmother, and also some of the jewelry you're wearing?"

Jing Changning: "When you get back, talk to Grandma. She needs to consider all of this. It's okay for each person to keep one or two items, but definitely not more."

In his opinion, there is no need to keep them. If they really need these things to show off, they will probably not be in Yamen Village anymore.

Jing Chunxi said to himself: "Silver and wooden hairpins are more useful here." There are also a few old women in the village who will wear silver hairpins or silver earrings given by their children and grandchildren as filial gifts. If the grandmothers and aunts wear them, they will not be conspicuous.

But she looked around the space and saw nothing of the kind only servants would wear. Who could blame them for being wealthy? Besides silver, they rarely gave their maids and servants silver jewelry; instead, they gave them gold leaves and gold melon seeds, and sometimes gold jewelry and jade.

"You don't need to worry about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask your aunt later. She will definitely prepare these small daily necessities for the family. You don't have to come." Jing Chunxi believed that her aunt was very efficient, otherwise she wouldn't have recorded everything in a small notebook. However, she thought it would be better to ask her later to prevent her from forgetting anything.

After putting out all the things, Jing Chunxi looked at the remaining things in the space and reported them to Jing Yongning again. Finally, the two of them added and subtracted some things and finally felt that it was about right.

Seeing that there was still a lot of braised pork in the space, Jing Chunxi wanted to put it back into the carriage, but was stopped by Jing Changning: "Save it for you to eat on your return trip.

You can all stay at the hotel and eat as much as you want."

Jing Chunxi laughed when he heard this and thought it was a good idea because it would prevent them from going hungry.

After everything was done, the two men sat in the front hall and drank a few glasses of well water. The other two cars also arrived.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they separated from the Daqing family and agreed not to wait for anyone. After buying things, they went back.

We didn't have much time to stay in the county town and were in a hurry to return, so everyone understood each other.

Now only Dalang and Zhuang, two guards and Uncle Xiaobei followed. The two sisters-in-law took Jing Mingyue and the other three Langs to go shopping first.

This was also what they had agreed on. Zhou Wei said that he had already prepared a lot of New Year's goods and asked a few people to come in and load them into the car first.

First, Grandpa Xiaobei brought two guards to have tea, and then they took Zhuang into the second courtyard and showed her the rooms where things were stored from the second courtyard to the third courtyard from beginning to end. Before she finished looking around, she sat on the threshold of a room and refused to leave.

Scared!

The things inside were so scary, not just because there were so many of them, but mainly because they were so familiar that she couldn't believe they would appear in this small county town. How could such things be sold in this remote, poor and sparsely populated county town?

And to move so many things in such a short time, wouldn't it require several fleets of vehicles?

Fortunately, all the items taken out were daily necessities. If there were more good things, Zhuang would have been scared to death.

Jing Changning stood quietly to let his sister-in-law calm down.

Jing Chunxi sat with Zhuang on the threshold and said, "Sister Xi was also frightened at first."

Jing Changning: Only I am calm inside.

The things in the room really frightened Zhuang. "Did they hire a caravan to bring them here? They haven't been completely confiscated?"

Although she had been brainwashed along the way into thinking that these things were commonly used by ordinary people at home and were also the most commonly sold items in markets and shops, she could still tell that some of them came from her own home.

When she first entered the main hall, she had already noticed the furniture. She would not believe that it was not from a wealthy family in the capital. Even if it was said that it was used by officials in the county, it could only fool Grandpa Xiaobei and the two guards, but it would never fool her, the mistress of the house.

She really didn't dare to think about it, and could only assume that someone had helped during the house search. But when she thought of the scene of the house search, and the scene where the Fourth Prince and Eunuch Li wanted to exterminate their entire clan, she felt that it was impossible.

Jing Changning: The room where the books are stored must not be opened, otherwise the secret will be exposed.

Jing Changning stopped her and said, "Father and mother both know it, but you are the eldest daughter-in-law. Others don't know it, so don't let it slip.

Sister-in-law, you should quickly pick out what you need to take back this time. Let's move out of the door first and don't let them in."

This meant that not everything in the house had been confiscated! So, were good times just around the corner? Thinking of the silver and banknotes her niece had given them along the way, and the many guards and servants she had seen accompanying them, Zhuang fell silent.

The things were there, the money was there, the family was there, even the servants and guards were there. Suddenly, my heart felt as sweet and happy as if I had eaten honey.

Even for such a big thing, she didn't let her two sisters-in-law come along, which meant that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were extremely confident in her and trusted her. Thinking about it, Zhuang felt much more comfortable and suddenly felt relieved.

However, most of today's purchasing plans will be scrapped, and the banknotes in the public treasury will probably not be used much. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt.

He immediately stood up, not forgetting to pull Jing Chunxi along: "Hurry up and take my aunt to choose. I can't move those things. You have to come, my third brother."

There were three cars, and with so many people in them, we naturally couldn't move too much back at once, so we had to pick the most important things quickly.

First, we went to the three rooms where the grain was stored, and brought five bags of refined rice, five bags of refined flour, some soybeans, peanuts, millet, and sorghum.

Then take out your little notebook and check to see if there is anything suitable to wear or cover yourself with. You have to choose a few pieces of cloth suitable for New Year's wear, and start preparing the cloth for spring clothes. You need needles and thread, baskets, scissors, embroidery frames... everything.

A lot of commonly used medicinal herbs have to be picked out. It would be a pity not to take the life-saving ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Fish maw and bird's nest must be given to my mother-in-law as nourishment. Maybe it can be used by my sister-in-law when she gets pregnant.

We must prepare a few jars of good wine so that my father-in-law and Grandpa Xiaobei can have a sip occasionally.

Not only do they need food, oil, salt, fresh fish, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, etc., they also have them. Zhuang is not surprised by anything that comes his way and wants them all.

There are many useful things in the kitchen, but the cart is limited, so I can only pick out the most needed ones first; I picked from beginning to end, afraid that something was missed, so I walked back from the end to the beginning.

……

I looked at everything in each room again and memorized them in my mind.

I can’t get it this time, but I should keep it in mind so that I don’t have to buy it again in the future.

Since entering this house, Zhuang has felt excited.

When Jing Chunxi came in, he would just let it go; when Zhuang came in, he would just take it home.
