Chapter 306 Private Treasury
Ruan Zhen's mouth is always sweet.
Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows, and then his tone turned lazy.
"Go and get the small black box from the eight-treasure cabinet on the left front side."
Ruan Zhen didn't do what he thought, and immediately turned his eyes, walked over in small steps, followed what Gu Huaizhi said and pointed, and quickly took the box, which was less than the size of his hand, into the palm of his hand.
She went back and forth, and with Gu Huaizhi's acquiescence, her little hands flexibly opened the lock.
"Did my husband come to me just to open the box? I've been very busy these days." She opened and closed her red lips and complained softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound. The lock opened.
Ruan Zhen looked down and saw a small and delicate jade stone in the shape of a key.
Ruan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gu Huaizhi in confusion.
The man stood up slowly and slowly, his voice was light, but there was no room for comment: "I know you want to use your dowry to add to Qi Chuxin's dowry."
"This is the key to my private treasury. It's up to you to decide what you want to take."
How could he let Ruan Zhen touch his dowry for this?
Ruan Zhen's eyes widened slightly.
She pushed the box towards Gu Huaizhi's hand: "No need to use husband's, I have enough."
Gu Huaizhi glanced at her, couldn't help but pinch the woman's wrist, and led the person inside. He stood in front of a bookshelf close to the wall.
Ruan Zhen's tone weakened. She took her hand back and took a cautious breath: "I just won't take it back. Husband, there is no need for me to hit the wall."
Gu Huaizhi laughed angrily.
His eyes pointed Ruan Zhen to look at the inconspicuous little hole on the bookshelf.
"unlock."
In the eyes of outsiders, the Library Pavilion has four floors, but few people know that it has its own cave. There is a mechanism on the west side of the first floor that can lead to the tunnel below.
At that time, the Duke's mansion was in trouble and the whole court shunned him.
Gu Huaizhi used the money accumulated by the Gu family's ancestors, half of which was reserved for future Prince Jing, and half of which was taken to the gambling house.
He staked all the Gu family's property, and everyone thought he was crazy. However, when the young man left the gambling shop, he made several profits.
In addition to the daily household expenses and the cost of Gu He's legs, Gu Huaizhi bet all his money on Yi Lin, whose biological father had just left and had paid off all his debts by opening a shop in half a year.
When he saw Yi Lin, he said the craziest words: "Go south from Lin'an, leading to Wuzhou and across Weishan County. There is a gold mine there. I also gave you these silver notes."
It was located in a remote place, and no one knew about it. He and Zhou Xu discovered it together. They originally wanted to report it to the court...
Report it to Zhou Yi?
Gold mine?
Yi Lin was dumbfounded.
Yi Lin swallowed.
But he was not stupid: "What do you want?"
"I want to see half of the shops in Lin'an belong to your Yi family within two years."
Yi Lin felt that Gu Huaizhi was crazy.
But later on, Gu Huaizhi's eyes were filled with anger.
He looked at him coldly and sneered: "Don't you dare? What a coward."
What is Yi Lin afraid of? It's not his money.
And he had been poor, had tasted the taste of evading debt, and what did the gold mine represent? He knew that half of the shops in Lin'an belonged to his Yi family. This sentence was so tempting that it made people go crazy.
——Sure, I’ll count you as a shareholder. If you lose, don’t wrong me.
Shops under the Yi family's name have now opened in Lin'an. They can be seen everywhere in China, and even have business contacts with neighboring countries.
After so many years, Gu Huaizhi's wealth is immeasurable.
In addition to those stored in banks, everything from antiques to gold, silver and jewelry are stored under the library.
Ruan Zhen knew that the Duke's Mansion was rich and noble, but looking at the key, she thought that the Duke's Mansion was far richer than she knew.
No wonder...no wonder Sheng Wan encouraged her to take advantage of Gu Huaizhi's private treasury from time to time.
The young lady's eyes were clear and clear, and she smiled lightly: "Then I'm just taking a look."
Gu Huaizhi's dark eyes were dark and he obviously didn't believe it. The last time Ruan Zhen held the banknote in her hand, she confidently said it was hers. Now she could just take a look at it?
Ruan Zhen looked serious, picked up the jade key, and pressed it gently into the small hole. She heard a soft sound and the bookshelf moved away from both sides.
The tunnel was darker than the outside, but candles were lit ten steps apart. Ruan Zhen grabbed Gu Huaizhi's clothes and followed him closely. After entering the tunnel, the bookshelf was closed again.
All the way down, the tunnel was dug very flat. After Ruan Zhen got used to the brightness, he let go of Gu Huaizhi's hand.
She took her hands off the man's clothes and heard his harsh tone: "Who allowed you to let go?"
It was Ruan Zhen who pulled, and it was Ruan Zhen who let go. What did you think of him?
Gu Huaizhi frowned.
As he spoke, he raised his arm as if inadvertently, obviously waiting for Ruan Zhen to step forward and hold him.
Ruan Zhen:...She almost forgot that Gu Huaizhi was an eccentric person.
She hooked her fingertips and put her hand into Gu Huaizhi's hand, then turned her head to look at him: "Husband, I'm very afraid of the dark."
Gu Peacock was satisfied.
But it doesn't show on the face.
The man seemed unable to do anything to her, and said with disgust: "It's really troublesome, so tighten it up."
Ruan Zhen chuckled: "Yes."
The further you go inside, the brighter it becomes. Instead of the lamps, there are night pearls that are as bright as day.
Ruan Zhen: "Husband."
Gu Huaizhi didn't respond and held her hand without letting go at all.
Ruan Zhen: "I'm also afraid of the light."
Gu Huaizhi:......
Why didn't you say that standing outside under the blue sky and daylight will melt it!
Gu Huaizhi's face turned dark.
Ruan Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud. After laughing enough, she still said in a serious tone: "I'm not laughing at you."
Gu Huaizhi almost believed it. He closed his eyes and said, "Shut up."
How could Ruan Zhen still be afraid of Gu Huaizhi now? She looked around, but she was so surprised that she was speechless.
The entire secret room was huge and filled with boxes after boxes of treasures. It was enough to overturn Ruan Zhen's cognition.
Those famous paintings worth thousands of dollars are just piled up in one place, and they can't fit inside and overflow. They are not afraid of the tide anymore.
Ruan Zhen walked very carefully, for fear of stepping on someone. She lowered her head and glanced down, then squatted down and picked up a copy: "This is a picture album by a famous teacher from the previous dynasty."
Gu Huaizhi was not interested at all: "Yeah."
Ruan Zhen...: "It's very expensive."
Gu Huaizhi: "Yeah."
Ruan Zhen's head hurt a little, and the woman's slender white fingers pointed at one of them: "Why are there ink stains here?"
Or a dog paw print.
A beautiful painting was ruined just like that.
Gu Huaizhi took advantage of the situation and looked over. He thought for a while and said slowly: "The name of the person who painted the painting is Ren Hui. I thought that Xiao Hui and him might have been the same family hundreds of years ago."
Ruan Zhen asked with some difficulty: "So, my husband left Xiao Hui's footprints where Master Ren wrote?"
Gu Huaizhi: "This is also Ren Hui's blessing."
