Chapter 286: A Bad Wall (2)

Rong Xia took the list, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He lowered his voice and said, "Who else knows about this?" The Rong family is a rich family with hundreds of years of history, and there are many good things, including some books, calligraphy and paintings. But absolutely nothing on this list surprised him. There were no such things in the dowry list that the Ban family put on the public back then, so he didn't know that his beloved wife had brought such a large fortune to marry him.

The few books that Huahua gave him at the beginning had already surprised him. He never thought that the Ban family would have so many good things that a scholar could only dream of.

"Apart from the subordinates, only the companion sent by the madam to handle the warehouse knows."

"You did a good job on this matter," Rong Xia put away the list, "Keep everything well and don't leak any news."

"The subordinate understands."

Rong Xia took the list and went to the backyard to find Banhua. She was lying on the white marble bridge to feed the fish. Because the weather was still cold, she was dressed in fluff. From a distance, she looked like a beautiful lazy fox.

"Huahua," Rong Xia walked up to her, took the cloak from the handmaiden, and put it on her body, "I saw your dowry just now, I'd better go to my mother-in-law's house to be my son-in-law."

Banhua was amused by his words, raised his hand and waved it, and asked the people serving him to step back, before saying, "Scared by those gold and silver treasures?"

"No," Rong Xia shook her head, "I was intimidated by those books."

"This is something that our ancestors picked up when our ancestors accompanied Taizu to fight the world," Ban Hua sighed. "It is said that the world was in chaos at that time, and the people were in dire straits. Every time our ancestors conquered a city with the lord, they would fight with other brothers." Share some belongings from rich and noble families. In order to avoid conflicts between brothers because of wealth, Taizu asked everyone to draw lots together. The ancestors of our class were unlucky. Bear with it, after he proclaimed himself emperor, he rewarded my ancestors with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, that's how our family's first generation savings came from."

The first emperor of the Daye Dynasty was also a mud-legged man with little knowledge. It is said that when he first started conquering the world, he couldn't even recognize the characters. Who can believe that such a person can be the emperor?

When he heard the words "broken characters and bad paintings", he was as calm as a flaw in his face, and couldn't help raising his brows a few times. But thinking about the troubled times back then, these antique calligraphy and paintings might not be as valuable as a basket of rice noodles. What is the use of these calligraphy and paintings for ordinary people when people's stomachs can't be filled?

"The family thought that you might like these calligraphy and paintings, so they asked me to bring them here." Banhua lowered his eyelids, instead of looking at Rong Xia, he lowered his head to look at the koi in the water, "When Brother Heng has a child, Let's give him another half, and these few years are enough for you to copy everything that needs to be copied."

"Walk."

A white hand stretched out in front of Banhua.

"Where are you going?" Ban Hua looked up at Rong Xia, his face was full of smiles, which made Ban Hua's heart soften.

"Take you to my warehouse."

Ban Hua blinked and put his hand into Rong Xia's palm. Rong Xia pulled her up, and the two of them were like children, taking each other to see their baby.

The Rong family's ancestral storeroom was very large, and Ban Hua saw that Rong Xia opened several doors before entering the storeroom.

Rong Xia didn't even take a look at the dozen or so lipstick-lacquered boxes placed outside, and led Ban Hua directly inside. There are many antique calligraphy and paintings in the room in the middle. Ban Hua is not interested in these things, and after a glance, he puts away his curiosity.

The innermost room is also very large, with rows of neat shelves on which there are large and small exquisite boxes, including mahogany, sandalwood, agarwood, and even golden nanmu. She then opened an agarwood box, which contained a box full of jade pendants, as casually as if a pile of pebbles were placed inside.

Opening a big mahogany box closest to her, there was a set of golden hair masks inside, and the peony petals on it were as thin as a cicada's wings, which was exquisite.

Gold jewelry can be so delicate? !

Then open the other boxes, pearl shirts, jade pillows, ruby ​​accessories, all kinds of priceless jewels, so beautiful that Ban Hua couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Rong Xia..." Ban Hua carefully took out a phoenix-winged hairpin, which was so beautiful that she forgot to breathe, "Didn't your ancestors be generals who touched gold?"

Their Ban family can be regarded as prominent, and there are even more gold, silver and jewelry, but their family does not have so many jewelry that is rich and hard to find, that their warehouse is full.

"Of course not," Rong Xia laughed, and inserted the phoenix hairpin in Ban Hua's hand into her hair, "In the ancestors of the Rong family, someone was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and someone married the princess of the previous dynasty. You must have not memorized the score properly when you were young."

All the sons and daughters of everyone will memorize the genealogy of the major families. Most of them can say a few words about what great things their ancestors have done, and how beautiful their ancestors are. They can also flatter each other when they communicate on weekdays. Their Rong family is a big family that has been prosperous for two or three dynasties. Many people in the capital know the glorious deeds of their ancestors.

"Those relationships are too complicated, so I recited a few families that our family has good relations with." Ban Hua took a hand mirror inlaid with jewels from the shelf and looked at her hair, looking at Rong Xia happily, "This hairpin is so beautiful."

Rong Xia put this bunch of keys into Ban Hua's hands: "All the jewelry here is yours, you can take and wear whatever you like, everything is fine."

"All?" The keys jingled in Banhua's hand, she looked at Rong Xia in disbelief, this was something passed down by the Rong family ancestor, how dare he let her take it out and wear it casually?

Rong Xia glanced across the room, nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, these jewels have stayed in this room in the dark for many years, and please ask Huahua to take them out to get some fresh air."

Ban Hua smiled so that his eyes rolled up: "Okay."

She likes these pretty things the most.

Seeing Ban Hua's happy face, Rong Xia felt that the missing piece in her childhood heart had finally been filled, filled to the brim, and her whole heart was warm.

"Is this bracelet beautiful?" Ban Hua picked out an exotic bracelet with intricate jewelry hanging on it, and it was going to be put on the fingers and the wrist at the same time. Ban Hua's arms were tender and white, as if they could tap water with just a light touch.

"Very beautiful," Rong Xia breathed harder, and lightly licked Banhua's arm, "but this arm is even more beautiful."

"Don't make trouble, I haven't washed my hands yet."

"I don't dislike it."
