Su Jin was extremely satisfied with the singing of the two daughters of Rou Niang, although they were poor and white in this regard, but when Rou Niang Huanniang humbly asked if there were any shortcomings, Su Jin still shamelessly said two innocuous opinions, seeing the two daughters nodding frequently, Su Jin had a strong contempt for himself for the first time in his life.
Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Mi'er were sent to sleep by Su Jin, and Su Jin himself stayed in the study and explained to the Rou Niang sisters how to appear tomorrow, and it was not the first time that the two girls sang in public, so there was no problem of stage fright, but there was a little excitement and pressure when singing new words for the first time.
Su Jin simply explained a few words and sent the two sisters to rest, as soon as his concentration became more and more insufficient, especially the gentle interpretation of the two delicate flowers around him, which was at his fingertips, and he wanted to pretend to be a humble gentleman, and the contradictions were really tangled.
Su Jin was afraid that if he stayed by the sisters' side for a long time, he would desperately eat the two girls alive; It's really not the right time, the relationship hasn't reached that point, and there are really too many things at the moment, and he doesn't want to get involved.
The second reason is that he still has an important thing to do tonight, he wants to explore the secret room behind the study, Su Jin envied those thieves with turbans and blindfolds digging treasures everywhere, 'Ali Baba', the stone door of the cave opened by itself, and it was full of gold and silver treasures;
However, he failed to become a one-eyed treasure thief after all, maybe the treasures were all dug up by the real thieves, and it was Su Jin's turn to grow up and there was no treasure to dig up, but for a long time, Su Jin, who was dragging his nose, blamed the problem on his lack of guts to blind one eye and wear a black blindfold that symbolized his identity.
At this moment, there is a secret room in the backyard waiting for him to explore, which in a sense satisfies Su Jin's childhood wish, although it feels like it lacks that unknown mystery, but it is better than nothing.
After the sisters went back to the room to rest, Su Jin patiently picked up a book and studied it under the candle, and turned to a sentence casually: Or said: 'Repay grievances with virtue, what is it?' The son said, "How can you repay virtue?" Repay grievances with directness, repay virtue with virtue'
; Su Jin had a big heart, originally he still had a trace of regret for his behavior of hiring beggars to harass others today, but when he read this sentence, his heart suddenly burst into joy.
The words and phrases that he casually flipped in his hand were as if they had been arranged by heaven to comfort him, and make him feel at ease; Looking at the cover, it turned out to be a "Analects", Confucius is not a nerd, if you are good to me, I will be good to you, and if you beat me, I will beat you back, Su Jin immediately decided to take Confucius's words as the highest instruction for his future life actions.
After flipping through the books for a while, the voices of the people around him gradually fell silent, and the lights in each room of the Su Mansion were extinguished one after another, Su Jin gently got up and picked up a lantern to light it, walked out of the study, and walked along the path shaded by the silent flowers and trees.
Insects chirp, frogs chirp, stars twinkle in the sky, and the air is fresh; But Su Jin took care of these flawlessly, he held the copper key tightly, and his palms were sweaty.
It is said that it is a firewood room, but in fact it is a small room for discarded guys and bad tools, this room has not been locked for many years, because no one can enter the inner house in the back, and the cobwebs and dust are very thick; When Su Jin gently pushed open the hidden wooden door, a puff of dust fell all over his face, and at the same time, the sound of running inside frightened Su Jin with goosebumps.
Su Jin stretched out the lantern to shine, and a few obscene little black dots quickly escaped, and it turned out to be a few mice; Su Jin took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat, dodged into the firewood room, and closed the door with his backhand.
It was a messy mess, with broken desks, chairs, and wooden ladder spinning wheels piled up high, with thick dust on them, as if covered with a layer of gray snow, and cobwebs on the legs of the corners of the house were piled up layer by layer, hanging like rags hanging in all corners.
Su Jin felt a little satisfied in his heart, this was like a treasure hunt, it would be more perfect if he threw a few skulls on the ground, and a wall appeared in front of him where the light shone as he walked forward, and there were piles of debris at the root of the other three walls, but there was nothing in front of this wall, and it was the east wall below.
Su Jin held the lantern and observed carefully, and finally saw a small handprint at a half-human height, which seemed to be a woman's handprint; It must have been the mark left by Madame Wang when she came to hide the money alone.
Su Jin stretched out his hand and pressed on the handprint with a slight force, and the wall was recessed into a wall brick, revealing a groove, Su Jin picked the groove left and right to try, and the wall did not move at all; Su Jin struggled to lift up, only to hear a hula, and the whole wall seemed to be attracted by a spring to rise; When it rises to half a person, it no longer moves, and the lower half of the wall is made of solid wood, and the two sides are equipped with chutes and card yellows, and when they are lifted, the wall card lock is loose and slides along the chute until it is re-stuck.
There is still a wall in the half-person-high space below, but there is a small iron door in the middle of the wall, and a large copper lock is hung in the recess above.
Su Jin bent down to get in, after a short period of corridor, the inside suddenly opened up, the faint light of the lantern was not very clear, Su Jin raised the lantern to look around, and suddenly found the lamp holder on the wall, on which stood most of the giant candles, Su Jin lit the giant candle, the room immediately shined, it turned out that there was a mirror hanging on the wall behind the candle, and the light was reflected, and the room immediately brightened.
When Su Jin saw the situation in the room clearly, he was completely stupid, there was a pile of copper money mountains piled up on the ground in the middle of the small secret room of more than ten square meters, the height was almost to the roof, and the money mountain exuded a unique smoky smell, knowing that it was the smell of mildew and rust, but it smelled comfortable.
Su Jin has dreamed countless times that he has won millions of jackpots, holding a lot of money all over the sky, sleeping with it, and using money as a quilt cover; The situation in front of him is even more shocking than in his dream, with so many copper coins piled up in front of him, Su Jin is fully qualified to say like the rich people who pretended to be forced in later generations to say, 'Lao Tzu smashed you to death with money', such a pile of money, not to mention ten or eight people, even if it is buried in the soil, it will be buried more than ten or twenty.
Su Jin put the lantern on the pile of money, stretched out his hand to pick up the usual copper coins to observe, only to hear a 'bang', the rope broke, and the copper coins jingled and rolled all over the ground;
Su Jin didn't know what to do all of a sudden, such a bunch of Mrs. Qian Wang was handed over to him, and it can be said that he was determined to retreat into the background and let Su Jin toss by himself; Su Jin was originally worried that if he made a mistake in judgment and paid the tuition this time, he would lose the Su family to a mess, but he never thought that the Su family was so strong, and he finally became confident.
Su Jin circled around the pile of money for half a circle, and suddenly made an unexpected discovery; A corner of the red box was faintly exposed on the back of Qianshan, which was not as well lit as the light, Su Jin's heart moved, and he picked up the lantern and looked closer.
Yes, it was indeed a red wooden box, with copper bars and nails on the outside, which made it look unusually strong; In order to avoid the landslide of the copper coin mountain, Su Jin carefully removed the copper coin string on the top of the box, and slowly revealed the lid of the box, surprisingly, the box was not locked.
Su Jin's heart was pounding, and a real sense of excitement of treasure hunting and mystery came to her heart, Mrs. Wang did not tell Su Jin that there was such a box here, it seemed that for Mrs. Wang, there was nothing special about this box, maybe it contained a box of copper coins.
