I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

The moment it opened, I was so blinded by the light that I had to squint.

After her eyes adjusted to the light, she slowly opened them.

Look closely, and you'll see a luminous pearl the size of a fist inside the box.

It was so bright it was almost like a light bulb, with a silvery-white glow.

"receive"

This thing is valuable.

Yu Wanwan decisively put it into her space.

Then open another box.

It contained a bushel of pearls.

There are several colors, and each one should be more than one centimeter in diameter.

valuable.

Close.

Next, Yu Wanwan skipped over jewelry.

The jewelry inside the box is so beautiful.

She has already acquired several valuable items and has no plans to sell the jewelry for the time being.

She picked up a vase from the display shelf and looked at it.

A plain blue vase with no patterns.

It looks alright, but Yu Wanwan doesn't really care for this vase. She'll just sell it; as long as she can get some money, that's fine.

Next to this vase is another slightly beige, equally simple vase with double handles.

Her intuition told her that the more unassuming the vase, the more expensive it was.

After putting the vase away, Yu Wanwan didn't put anything else in her space.

Her space is limited.

They can't stockpile much inventory.

She felt that once she sold that gold, she would have enough money to stock up on the things she wanted to buy next time.

The remaining items are just in case.

In addition, she couldn't put too many things in the space, otherwise she would have less to store next time. She also couldn't possibly take out the unsold antiques after she traveled to ancient times and put them in her modern home.

She's not home, and there are so many valuable things in the house; she must be so worried.

She spent the rest of the time in the warehouse.

Having become rich overnight, she wanted to experience just how much wealth she had.

"Grandmother, Brother Zhou Nan is here."

"Tell him to wait for me outside."

After packing up her things, Yu Wanwan asked her boss to call Zhou Nan over.

She needs to bring Yu Chengcheng over as soon as possible.

"Go to the residence of the Minister of Rites."

Yu Wanwan regretted it as soon as she said it.

Zhou Nan has been eating quite freely by her side these past few days, and in just five days, he's already gained weight on his face.

Sending him to meet with the people from the Ministry of Rites' residence would be telling them that the people in the General's Mansion are living a very comfortable life.

"Forget it, go and call your father over. Let him go."

It's unclear whether Steward Zhou is worried because he has a son like Zhou Nan who wants to be someone's dog, or because he's just getting old, but he always has a bitter look on his face.

These past few days he's been able to fill his stomach, and he's not gaining weight as quickly; he still looks miserable.

Unlike Zhou Nan, who secretly washed his face, Steward Zhou was devoted to the General's Mansion, even entrusting him with the management of the mansion's water and food.

He didn't embezzle any money; he secretly washed his face.

Butler Zhou arrived quickly.

Yu Wanwan gave him a few instructions, and he turned and walked towards the residence of the Minister of Rites.

***

Madam Tao watched as Yu Chengcheng regained some of her vitality after finishing a bowl of white rice.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out the water for him, watched him drink it, thought for a moment, and said, "Chengcheng, would you like to go home with your aunt?"

Your aunt's house has water and food; you won't go hungry if you go there.

Before Yu Wanwan sent people to deliver the food, she wouldn't have dared to have such an idea.

Their household's previous grain reserves were far less than those of the Minister of Rites' residence. If they rashly brought Yu Chengcheng back, she was afraid that Yu Chengcheng would starve to death.

But now that she has food on hand, she can guarantee that Yu Chengcheng won't go hungry if he goes back with her.

Yu Chengcheng's eyes widened instantly, a glimmer of hope in them, but her eyes quickly dimmed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I won't go. I'll just stay at home."

Although he was young, he knew that everyone was having a hard time.

If he goes to their house, he will have to eat the food of one more person, and the food that the people in their household can get will decrease.

“You’re right, Madam Tao. Chengcheng can stay at home. We appreciate your kindness.”

Madam Yu's voice suddenly rang out.

Madam Yu became increasingly uneasy in her courtyard, fearing that Yu Chengcheng would say something inappropriate in front of Madam Tao, giving her another reason to mock her.

She simply came over herself.

Upon arriving, she heard that she wanted to take Yu Chengcheng away.

In the past, she would have been overjoyed; with Yu Chengcheng gone, their household could save some food.

But now that Yu Chengcheng has gone to the Tao family, she may very well be able to eat white rice.

Why should he? He doesn't deserve it at all.

“Madam Tao, the master just sent me to see Chengcheng. He has something he wants to say to Chengcheng. I will take Chengcheng there now. If you would like to look around our mansion, please feel free to do so.”

Madam Yu glanced at Yu Chengcheng.

Yu Chengcheng quickly lowered her head and followed behind her.

Madam Tao knew she couldn't take Yu Chengcheng away today.

She bid farewell to Madam Yu with a sense of disappointment.

As Madam Yu walked out of the gate of the Minister of Rites' residence, she saw a man with a bitter expression walking towards her.

The General of the Cavalry was rarely in the capital, and Steward Zhou usually took care of most of the affairs of the General's Mansion.

When things were going well, Madam Yu had met with Steward Zhou a few times.

After thinking for a moment, she recognized Butler Zhou.

Thinking of the grain at home, she wanted to go up and greet Steward Zhou.

After taking a few steps, I remembered what Yu Wanwan had said about asking them to keep it a secret.

To keep the secret, it's best not to have too close contact with the people in the General's Mansion in public.

She turned around and pretended not to know him.

They also slowed down, somewhat curious about the purpose of Steward Zhou's visit to the Yu family.

Butler Zhou also recognized Madam Tao, but he continued walking forward without looking to the side.

He walked to the gate of the Minister of Rites' residence, knocked on the door, and began to complain to the gatekeeper after the gatekeeper opened the door.

"We, the people of the General's Mansion, have no grudge against your Mansion. Why are the people of your Mansion doing this to harm us?"

"Sigh, our general hasn't even returned yet, and you two insist on sending your young lady to our house, causing chaos in our general's mansion."

Right now, everyone else in the manor has run out of food; it's all been taken by your young lady.

The young masters and ladies in our household are almost starving to death.

“Your young lady is still causing trouble at our residence, saying that she wants to save the food for her younger brother Chengcheng. She said that if we don’t take Chengcheng back, she will come back to find him herself and stay at your residence without worrying about food.”

"Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that outsiders now regard her as the old lady of our household, I would really like to send her back to your household. Our General's Mansion would be much less troublesome."

I won't be coming to your residence looking for any Young Master Cheng anymore.

"Why am I telling you all this? Never mind, just go in and let them know that I want to take Young Master Chengcheng back to comfort your young lady."

You'd better put in a good word for me with your wife. Tell her that things are really tough for our General's Mansion right now, and if Young Master Cheng goes, he'll definitely suffer too. Tell her that even if she doesn't allow Young Master Cheng to go, we can understand.

After the gatekeeper left, Steward Zhou stood there muttering to himself.

"She'd better not agree, so I'll have a reason to send Yu Wanwan back."

Mrs. Tao was amazed.

Is it really possible to do this?
