Chapter 20 The fate of the rich and noble
Gu Yunjiao handed him the burden without saying a word.
Jiang Youzhi had heard Gu Mei say that this place was a family heirloom, so he took the burden and hugged it carefully in his arms, as if he was afraid of falling and smashing it.
Gu Yunjiao smiled when she saw him like this, “You better carry it.”
“There’s nothing special here, just a set of gold needles, a milk bowl, and a few books. It doesn’t matter if you fall.”
“It’s just that this golden needle was handed down from my ancestors. To be honest, it’s not worth much.”
Jiang Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the burden on his shoulders.
When the two of them got home, it was still early.
Jiang Youzhi returned the package to Gu Yunjiao at the door, he was afraid that his family would misunderstand what good things he bought.
When entering the door, Mrs. Yang saw the package in Gu Yunjiao’s hand in the yard, and her eyes rolled around.
During lunch, I heard that Gu Yunjiao had returned to her mother’s house. She must have brought something good from her mother’s house.
When Dr. Gu was still there, he was a famous doctor in several nearby counties. Many people came to see him, and he made a lot of money.
Although the Gu family is now in ruins, but the camel is bigger than a horse, and the family is tossing and turning, maybe he can find something valuable.
Yang thought, turned around and entered the upper room.
Only Mr. Zhou was in the room, and Mrs. Zhou was in the sole.
Mrs Yang leaned over and said, “Mother, did you tell Dad about what happened yesterday?”
Zhou glanced at her and nodded.
Yang said excitedly: “What did Dad say, do you agree?”
Mr. Zhou snorted, “Of course, your father didn’t listen to me.”
Yang’s flattering smile, “That’s right, my mother is our family’s Dinghai Shenzhen.”
“However, mother, do you think that girl will be really hard and beat six relatives?”
Zhou Shi gave her a look, “How can it be? When she entered the door, although she was in a hurry, your sister-in-law also asked someone to read the eight characters. The fortune teller said that she was the fate of the rich and the noble.”
Yang was overjoyed, “If you say that, she can still make us Erlang!”
Mr. Zhou sneered, “You can just listen to this kind of thing, but don’t dare to take it seriously.”
“Anyway, the eight characters are not in the way.”
Mr. Yang nodded, “When did that mother tell my sister-in-law?”
The work in Zhou’s hands stopped for a while, “At dinner time, while everyone is there, it’s better to talk about it and settle things down.”
“The autumn harvest is about to happen. When the millet is harvested, the money will be abundant, so it’s time for Erlang’s wedding.”
Mrs Yang was overjoyed, “Mother, that’s it, then I’m going to cook.”
She came out of the upper room with a face full of spring breeze, glanced at the east wing, and entered the kitchen humming a little song.
The three daughters-in-law of the Jiang family cook once a day, and now it is Yang’s turn to cook.
There are five east wing rooms, with the main room in the middle. Jiang Youzhi and Liulang live in the two rooms on the south side, the Chen family live in the north room, and Gu Yunjiao and Sanya live in the north side room.
Gu Yunjiao went in with the bag, put the bag on the table and opened it, revealing the red sandalwood box inside.
Sanya came over and asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, what is this?”
Gu Yunjiao opened the box, gold needles were neatly inserted into the black silk.
Gold is not easy to oxidize, but this set of gold needles is almost a hundred years old, and it has been useless for a long time, and has lost its luster.
Sanya tilted her head and looked, “What is this?”
Gu Yunjiao said softly, “It’s a golden needle.”
It is said to be a gold needle, but it is not pure gold, because pure gold is very soft and easily deformed. It is too thin to be used at all, so other metals are also mixed.
